MRS ICKES' DEATH SADDENS CAPITAL Wife of Secretary Was Known Here for Diplomacy and Hospitality. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. While diplomatic Washington mourns for the death of the Queen of the Belgians, Washington soclety, of- ficial and unofficial, will mourn the death of Mrs. Harold L. Ickes. She was known to all classes of women here. In no sense a society woman, Mrs. Ickes fulfilled every social obligation within her range, entertaining officials, her husband’s friends in all walks of life and especially offering hospitality to her woman friends. While her busy husband would often have procrasti- nated in giving a dinner in his own house, or searched for a reason for declining an invitation, Mrs. Ickes held him closely to such obligations. She punctiliously observed the duties of her position in receiving and return- ing calls and the hospitality of her home, while lacking in great form or ceremony, was very wholesome and | characteristic. If a ainner party of | politicians was to_be entertained, she assisted Secretary Ickes in selecting his guests and her method of seating, while not according to State Depart- ment rules, was that most conducive to good conversation. Dahlia Named for Her. | There was & good deal of sentiment between the Secretary and Mrs. Ickes, and one of his show places Was a long Tow of dahlias which he, | more than an ordinarily good horti- culturalist, propagated, and, after several seasons Wwith growing success, fnally achieved & perfect bloom, | gigantic in size, which he named | the Anna Wilmarth. Mrs. Ickes often took her woman callers to their | garden to show them this triumph. In politics Mrs. Ickes did not elways agree with her husband, and | indeed, she thought so much of the | Republican party, which she repre- | sented in the Illinois Legislature, | that she left politics shortly after | Secretary Ickes went into the cabinet | that she might not embassass either | her husband or her party. Mrs. Ickes' diplomacy might have entitled her to any post abroad, and men out in her State tell of days when she excused herself from the legislative floor rather than em- barrass them in their discussion and criticism of the administration and its efforts. It was said that when Mr. Ickes first entered the cabinet, and she returned to her position as member of the Legislature, she tried remaining on the floor during any discussion or criticism of the Dem- ocratic party, but one day finding an | suddenly | embarrassing hush come over her colleagues as she entered the room, she ever after looked and listened for signs and refrained from being present. However, her own wish would have been to have re- mained on the floor during even the most personal discussion. Upheld Woman’s Cause. While Mrs. Ickes liked to talk poli- tics with men, she also was imbued with the idea of the power and in- fluence of her own sex along those lines, and discussed big issues with them. Her feeling was that no line should be drawn against them and one of her great delights was in en- tertaining the “ladies of Congress.” Mrs. Ickes was a pioneer club woman in Chicago and when she came to Washington she still main- tained that interest. Even during the days just after Mr. Ickes' appoint- ment to the cabinet and while she was being initiated into the intri- cacies of official life in Washington, ! she accepted the invitation of club women to speak to them on club life, or whatever topic they sug- gesied. It was a few days after she entered her new position that she accepted the invitation of a profes- sional and business woman’s club end kept them amused with stories of her entrance into club life. One of her stories was about the little girl on the next corner, who had a large front yard where children of the neighborhood loved to play. Mrs. | Ickes' mother decided, however, that | her little daughter had better not play in that particular yard because the little girl's mother belonged to & club. Mrs, Ickes was perhaps one of the | best authorities on Indians of various | tribes in the country. Her study of them was not so much from the pic- turesque side as from a desire to assist them. She deeply appreciated Indian handicraft and art and the Ickes home is rich in the choicest specimens. She owned everything pertaining to their art and domesti: life from elaborate war costumes of | chieftains, to jewelry and trinkets made | by various tribes. Her particular hobby, however was centered in the Indians of New Mexico, where for some years she spent a part of each Summer. Attended “News Parties.” A phase of social life in Washing- ton originated by Mrs. Roosevelt was that of inviting groups of Wwomen officials in the various departments, like Nellie Tayloe Ross, Mrs. Blair Banister, and others and then asking newspaper women to join them.

Active Social Worker. | Forthright and direct in her polit- | | ical life, she nevertheless was known | to have a great sympathy for the less | fortunate and constantly to be cam- | | paigning for the betterment of social | conditions. | | She always ran for office as a Re- | publican. The district she represented |in the State Legislature was the #ev- | enth and consists of a stretch of ter- | ritory on the north and northwest edges of Chicago. | It was not until January, 1934, that | she decided not to seek a fourth term. | By that time she had set up house- keeping here at 4880 Glenbrook road in Spring Valley. For several months there had been considerable discussion whether she would continue as a Re- publican legislator while her husband served in a Democratic cabinet. Mrs. Ickes. however, denied there was any conflict, saying, “I am tremendously interested in the present Federal sit- | uation.” Liked Social Life Here. “It has been difficult for me to arrive at this decision,” she said at the time of her retirement. “I have been proud of my district. It is tive district in the State of Illinois if not in the Nation.” It included vast mills and gardening areas as well as fashionable residential sec- tions. From such a career, she turned to the contrasting role of cabinet hostess and liked it. When the New Deal celebrated the end of its second year, she was able to say: “Washington social life has many gracious customs which seem to have been more or less forgotten in other parts of our country. One of them is that here we still gather around the tea cups and have time for more intimate personal conversation. The first year was very lovely and exciting as new acquaintances were made, but in the second year these acquaint- ances had grown rapidly into warm and valued friendships.” After her family and her political career, the anthropology of the | Southwest Indians was her major en- | thusiasm. She had a home near Gal- lup, N. Mex., not far from the spot where she was killed. Left Here in August. She left Washington early in Au- gust for New Mexico in her annual monial dances. Calling herself an “armchair arch- | eologist,” Mrs. Ickes was in the habit of motoring over many miles of sand every Summer on exploring trips through the Navajo country. She spoke the language of the natives and was considered an authority on their customs and life. The only Washington organization with which she was associated was the Newspaper Women’s Club. A recent book on Indian lore, “Mesa Land, the History and Romance of the Southwest,” was published after Mrs. Ickes came to Washington -and aroused considerable interest here. Arranged Addams Banquet. She made many talks on her Indian hobby before women groups that gather here. When the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom held the biggest banquet the Wiilard Hotel ever boasted last Spring, honoring Chicago’s Jane Addams, Mrs, Ickes was chairman of the whole cele- bration for her famed fellow-towns- woman, At that time, Miss Addams made her last public address. Just before leaving Washington for her usual Summer in New Mexico, Mrs. Ickes had superintended the mov- ing of her household into Hayes Manor, in nearby Marylnd,-a home 175 years old, set in stately trees. A b DOUBLE DROWNING HELD ACCIDENTAL Three Men Released in Death of Mrs. Sinclair and Donahue in Canal. Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald late yesterday issued certificates of | accidental death in the drowning of a man and woman in the old Chesa- peake & Ohio Canal Friday afternoon and three men, held by questioning in the tragedy, were re- leased. Dr. MacDonald issued his verdict and decided it would not ve neces- sary to hold an inquest after confer- ring with police who investigated the drowning of Mrs. Norma Sincleir, 53- year-old housekeeper, of 293¢ M stregt and Robert L. Donohue. 54 who lived at the M street address The two met death when a small skiff in which they, with the three mer, were crossing the canal overturned. On Way to Picnic. Donohue, the housekeeper, and the three men, Reginald D. Hereford, 44, of 3288 N street; Frank E. Greenarl. 46, and George H. Allen, 44. both salesmen of Buffalo, N. Y., were on their way to the banks of the Po- tomac to hold a picnic when the tragedy occurred. They had been drinking at Donohue’s home, one of the survivors told police, drove to the canal in an automobile owned by one of the salesmen. in searching for a place to cross they located the skiff. The men loaded the food and climbed into the boat, but when Mrs. Sinclair stepped ahoard the tiny craft filled with water and turned over. The accident happened only a few feet from the bank. Hereford told police that when the boat capsized, he caught Mrs. Sinclair and started for shore, when Donohue, who couldn’t swim, grabbed him around the neck and he lost his hold. Allen, also un- able to swim, was dragged from the water by Greenan. Bodies Are Recovered. Police recovered the body of Mrs. Sinclair shortly after the accident, but Donohue’s body was not located until yesterday noon. Hereford, Greenan and Allen were héld in police custody for questioning at the seventh precinet. Hereford was first released under $500 bond as a witness, but after Dr. Mac- Donald announced there would be no further investigation, all three were allowed to go free. ¢ Donohue conducttd a funeral par- lor with his son, Robert L., jr., until three years ago, when he retired be- cause of his son’s ill health.

She subsequently testified at congressional hearings which re- sulted in reforms being made. PR EE CANDIDATE ARRESTED PITTSBURGH, August 31 (#).— William B.

'GEM SHUGELING * HELD IN CONTROL ‘Treasury Announces Tariff ‘; Cut Has Aided in Curb- ing Practice. By the Associated Press. | Diamond smusggling, biggest problem of customs law enforcement prior (o | the tariff act of 1930, is now declared under contro!. | In saying there was a marked decline |in such smuggling, Treasury officials attributed it to increased vigilance of customs officers and the lowering of tariff duties. The duties, they said. were pared sufficiently to take the profit out of illegal entries. | This is in contrast with the situa- | tion prior to 1930 when it is estimated smugglers furnished the legitimate trads with fully 20 per cent of all dia- mond merchandise in this country. Of tremendous aid to the customs service is the law providing a reward to informers. This amounts to 25 per cent on the net amount of “personal | penalty” recovered. This payment can- not exceed $50,000 in any one case, bu: | officials said this maximum has been | paid many times. | Diamonds, customs officials said, are the easiest article in the world to| smuggle because of their small size., As a result, many and ingenious are | the schemes which have been employed | |in effecting illegal entry. An example cited follows: A large shipment ©f diamonds was made from Antwerp to a firm in Ger- | many. The customs officials there cir- | cularized ports on the continent to in- | spect all merchandise sent out from the | concern in Germany. Finally, the firm | shipped a quantity of wooden brushes. Investigation revealed that the handles | were hollow and containsd $100,000 worth of diamonds. | COL.

J. F. ADAMS 804 F St. NNW. NAtional 2032 ~ LADDER EVIDENCE BLAMED BY BRUNO Publication of Letter to Wife Reveals It Up- set Defense. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, August 31.—Bruno Richard Hauptmann, in a letter made public today, told his wife that evi- dence he had entered the Lindbergh nursery by climbing a ladder “really knocked the bottom out of my whole defense.” Hauptmann, sentenced to death on conviction of the slaying of the Lind- bergh baby, attacked the ladder evi- dence as false and he declared “many State’s witnesses perjured themselves «| for publicity.” He particularized his fire on Dr. John F. Condon, the “Jafsie,” who paid over the $50,000 Lindbergh ransom. Mrs. Hauptmann, at the urging of friends, agreed to publication of the most recent letter from her husband, although it was not written for that purpose, she said. The letter was written from the Trenton, N. J, death house. Of the landlord, who testified in the Flemington trial that he had dis- | covered a board was missing from | Hauptmann's attic flooring, Haupt- | mann wrote: “Dear Anny: You know as well as| I do that we moved into the apart- | ment by Mr. Rauch October 12, 1931, and the record from the storage house where we took our furniture| will tell the same. He (Rauch) said | * * * he inspected the attic and| found no boards missing. * * * as long as we lived in his house, he was only once in the attic and that was in the Summer of 1933. His state- ment on the witness stand was a willful falsehood.” ‘The prisoner apparently was at- tempting to show that the landlord did not inspect the attic until after| the kidnaping and, that if no board was missing at the time of his visit, it could not have been part of the ladder. s A-3 NEW UNION FAILS 10 SETTLE ROW United Auto Workers End Session After Selection of South Bend.
