WOMEN HOLD HIGH OFFICE One Keeps Diplomatic Secrets, An other Gives Legal Opinions. ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Aug. 24. Four women of the thousands in the employ of the va rious departments of the Government stand forth pre-eminent and all four hold their own In every single essen tial with the men with whom they come in daily official contact. These are the ones called the "right-hand women." And they're all pretty and young as full of vivacity as they are of tact! There's Miss Henna, for instance. Miss Hanna is known in Washington as the "only woman diplomat." She Is a blonde this attribute being derived from Scandinavian ancestry and rath er petite. The position which she or dinarily occupies in the Government service is that of nominal -Secretary to the Second Assistant Secretary of State, Alvey A. Adee. As a matter of fact, however, she is Mr. Adee's princi pal assistant in the management of all diplomatic affairs. All of the most important and confidential diplomatic letters and other documents pass un der her eye. Many of them contain secrets which the Department of State would under no consideration permit to be divulged. Yet Miss Hanna, . though a woman, is officially a sphinx. "Woman Who Keeps Secrets. It will be remembered, by the way, that the original Sphinx of Egypt was a woman a fact which in itself should serve as a refutation of the popular notion that a woman cannot keep a secret. But as for Miss Hanna it should be further explained th.at the entire- diplomatic business of the De partment of State falls under the con trol of Mr. Adee who in any Euro pean country would be called perma nent Under Secretary for Fotiaign Af fairsand every bit of the corre spondence that is going on all the time between our Government and foreign powers is carried on, as one might say, through Miss Hanna. She, by the way, is the only woman delegate to the peace conference at The Hugue, acting there as an official assistant to the representatives of our Government. Miss Hanna hails from Ann Arbor, Mich., and her salary Is J1800 a year. Equally remarkable In hr way is another young woman who holds the post of law clerk to the United States Treasury. She is as young as Miss Hanna blonde, pretty and slightly built. Her position is the only one of the kind In our Government service that was ever held by a woman. And no wonder. Inasmuch as it Is her duty to prepare all of the legal opinions for the department. Uncle Sam's Female Lawyer. . The name of this clever girl is Clara Graecen. Half a dozen years ago. when fcarely 17 years of age., she came to "Washington from Kalkaska. Mich., de termined to push her way Into some sort of place in the Government service. She possessed no influence whatever a thing considered wellnigh indispensable, even In these days of civil service reform but for this lack she was compensated by the possession of youth, good health, a buoy ant spirit and some experience as a sten pgrapher. obtained in the town of her birth. I The stenography gaves her the oppor tunity she wanted. There was a vacant place in the office of the Comptroller of the Treasury for a typewriter, and Miss Graecen's skill at shorthand enabled her to secure the position in a competitive examination. Before long she had ac quired the reputation of being the most rapid shorthand writer In the depart ment. But, not content to be a type writer, she devoted her evenings to studying law a departure which led to the utilization of her services as assist ant to the law clerk. It so happened that the place of law clerk fell vacant, and, 40 the astonish ment of everybody, Miss Graecen made formal application for it. A number of Washington lawyers wanted the job. But. as the result of a competitive exam ination, the girl from Kalkaska came out a winner, and was duly appointed. Since then Miss Graecen has prepared all the legal opinions for the Treasury, and they are said to be models of lucid ity and accuracy. Her salary Is J2000 a year. Manager of Indian Schools. The highest salary paid to any woman in the Government service Is drawn by Miss Estelle Reel, who ho.ds a position of extraordinary responsiblity. She is the Superintendent of all the Indian schools the final authority to whom every ques tion relating to their management is re ferred. Her official headquarters are at he Indian bureau in Washington, but most of her time is spent In traveling about the country, rrom one Indian schoo! te another. Miss Reel Is a handsome brunette, still In her early thirties. Young as she iss it Is said that the entire system of man agement of our Indian schools is practi cally her work. She originated and ap plied it the main feature of it being prac tical . instruction designed to fit Indian boys and girls for life as they will fine" It. Much of the teaching is in the way of manual training, the boys being taught to shoe horses, mend wagons and raise crops, while the girls acquire the gentler arts of the housewife. Miss Reel's salary is $3000 a year, plus expenses. The latter are a very consid erable item, inasmuch as she is . obliged to do so much traveling: In the more re mote parts of the country she sometimes covers hundreds of miles on horseback, no other means of transportation being available. Translator Into French. Miss Marie MacNaughton Is another Michigan girl. She comes from Grand Rapids. Half a dozen years ago she en tered a competitive examination for a 2400 position in the Bureau of American Republics and won It. The reason for making the pay so 'high was that the work required was extremely difficult that of translating English into French. Plenty of people can translate French into good English, but to do the other thing with accuracy is a rare accom plishment. The bureau publishes a monthly maga zine In which the articles are printed In French, English and Spanish the same articles, that Is to say. The most impor tant part of Miss MacNaughton's work Is done for this publication. She Is a brunette, slender and with beautiful dark eyes. These' are the four most notable women in Uncle Sam's employ at the present CHIN .... IV. c SECRETARY TAPTS PRESENT TRIP TO ORIENT WILL MAKE HIM MOST TRAVELED AMERICAN STATESMAN.

In' Year of Operation Commission Has Tried 9 1 Cases, Decided 4 7 ', Against Roads. WASHINGTON. Aug. 24. (Special.) Rate regulation under the present Inter state commerce law will be a year old next Wednesday and some Interesting facts are to be told on the eve of its first anniversary. During the year there have been filed with the Interstate Com merce Commission 353 formal complaints.

Controller of the Currency Ridgely stated regarding Cortelyou'8 plan to relieve a possible stringency through the distribution of Government funds to National banks, that it was "wise and timely." Ridgely said: "Cortelyou's plan of depositing money when and where needed wIU enable him to apply It for relief wherever it will do the most good to commercial and manu facturing business vlth less reference to the speculaltve situation. While trie sit uation is one requiring cool and deliber ate action, especially by timers, there is no reason why the demand for liquida tion should so spread as to produce any thing like a panic or crisis. The bank ing condition is unusually sound, more so on account of the readjustment, of stock values. "These are tremendous demands, but no greater than have been in the aggre gate. The banks have resources "to sup ply this credit, and, while it may be necessary for them to. curtail new opera tions and discourage expansion among customers, they should have no difficulty In taking care of current business. There is absolutely no doubt that banks will be able to take care of things this Fall. We have raised between 15,000,000,000 and $6, 000.000,000 worth of grain, cotton, cattle, hogs and other farm produce, besides cot., metals and other wealth, but this is not a situation to get frightened about or make necessary the call on everybody to suddenly pay their debts. It should rather encourage the banks to take care of customers and make loans conserva tively 'wherever there is a proper basis for credit. Our country's elements for recuperation In this vast production of wealth never were so great or available. Prosperity Is proverbially hard to stand, but there Is no sense in letting such evi dences scare us to death." Balllnger Back at Desk. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.' Wash ington, Aug. 24.
