NUMBER 4957. Rain or Snow Tonight, Northeast Winds @he Washington Times [mE WASHINGTON, FRIDAY EVENT EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1908. JANUARY 10, 1908. With Closiag N V. Stock Prices FINANCIAL LAST EDITION s PRICE ONE CENT DISTRICT PAYS HALF OF BILL IN LAND CASES

Bonaparte Shoulders $24,500 on Taxpayers in Trial of Westerners. Transiers Litigation and Attendant Expenses All the Way From Coast. That the taxpayers of the city of ‘Washington will have to pay the sum Of $24,500 to defray the expenses of the trial of Hyde, Benson, Dimond and Schneider under indictment in connec tion with 'and frauds on the Pacific coast, became known today at the Capi tol, when the deficiency estimates for appropriations from the Department of Justice were'sent to the Speaker of the House.

The case in question has no local significance, and the sum paid by resi dents and taxpayers of the District might well have been paid by dwellers on the Pacific coast but for the fact that the Department of Justice has or dered that the case be tried in this

city. Expenses Are Divided. In the deficiency estimates from the department, there is included the sum of 349,000 (one-half to be paid from the revenues of the District of Columbia) for witnesses’ fees, jurors’ fees, bailiffs’ fees ard miscellaneous court expenses. Appended to the item is an explana tory note from the Attorney General that the ordinary appropriation for court expenses will not be sufficient to cover the Hyde, Benson, Schneider, and Dimond case, as many witnesses will have to be brought from the Pacific coast to Washington, the case will last long time in trial, and the stenograph ers’ expenses and others will be un usually heavy.

i The District revenues are dug into to the extent of $24.500, because a law was passed several years ago that the court expensas in the District should be borne one-half by the United States and one half by the District.

R— i Unexpected Contingency,

This was done on the ordinarily true assumption that the District's litigation is what generally occupies the courts here "FIThbugh there is occasionally a purely Federal case for trial in this jurisdiction. The law, when it was pass. ed, did not contemplate such an emers gency as the removal by the Department of Justice of a case from the Pacific coast to this city for trial.

{i

There is no doubt that the appropria. tion will be made as requested by the Department of Justice. Consequently, the District treasury is out to the tune of 324,500 through no fault of District citizens, If the case were tried on the coast, the District would have to bear no expense of the trial whatever.

ie —n—— TAFT THE WINNER BY LARGE VOTE SAYS PRESIDENT

Secretary Taft will get more than 6M votes on the first ballot at the Chi cago convention and will therefore be nominated without any fight. This is the prediction made by the President to one of his visitors today, and he pro duced sufficient proof to convince the latterr that he was certain of his ground,

The Presilent told the friend in ques tion that he has had very little doubt of the War Secretary's nomination for several weeks. He said that within the last month or so his strength has been increased wonderiully.

What seems to be a perfect, landslide, aecording to the Taft people, has set in, and the President has been assured on the best authority that the “sure votes” paited the 600 mark some time ago. The

POLICEMAN FORGETS TRAMP; MAN STARVES TO DEATH PARIS, Jan. 10.—The poor memory of fa policeman is responsible for the death from starvation of a tramp who applied at the town hall for shelter for the night, The policemdn locked the tramp in the village jail, and did not think of him again until two davs later, when two other tramns applied for a night's lodging, When the jail was opened the unfertunate victim of the officer's negligence was found dead.

~The Panama canal Is likely to cost at least $150,000,000 more than the original estimates, according to flgures and data in the possession of the Senate Interoceanic Canal Committee,

At the cutset, the engineers estimated that the canal would be completed ®at a cost of $135,600,000, which amount was approved by Congress. A compilation prepared for-the Senate committee of ‘all the appropriations made up to date for the canal, shows a total of $79,606 200, For the rémainder of the present fis cal year _the canal commission has z leficlency appropriation of $8,000,000, For the fiscal year which will end June 30, 1908, a total appropriation of $33,000,000 in round figures is requested. ww Eighteen months from now, therefore, there will have been expended on the canal a total of §$120,606,000, leaving a balance of less than $15,000,000 out of the sum originally. appropriated by Congress to complete the canal. When Will It Be Finished? These® figures are not only interesting in themselves but they fully warran: the assertion: that large additional ap propriations will be necessary to finish the big ditch. The most optimistic pre dictions as to the date when the work will be completed puts it six years from now, while more conservative estimates make it eight years.

The appropriations to be made by this Congress will only carry on the work up to June 30, 1908, and thon there will be only $1500 00 left witn which to continue during the next three and a pai or five years, whichever it may

That is te it will be June, 1399, before they will be ready to begin building even the foundations of these structures. The plans cail for the uss of 3,300,600 cubic yards of masonry in the locks, or more than encugh to build the city of Jersey City or Minneapolis. The ap propriations for that gigantic work alone will be in excess of the original sum fixed by Congress as the total cost of the canal. Senate Hearing Wednesday. The Senate committee will begin its hearings on the canal next Wednesday, and has invited Secretary of War Taft, Lieutenant Colonel Goethals, the chiel engineer, and former Senator Blackburn, a member ef the canal commission, to appear before it. It is not expected that any legislation for the canal will be recommended by them or proposed by the committee. Colonel Goethals will be the most in teresting witness and he will be asked to tell the committee of the progress of the work. It is quite: likely that during his examination the old question will be revived of the advantages of the sea-level canal over one requiring the construction of such large and expen sive locks as those contemplated in the present plan. SN _—— He will be particularly .qgiestioned as to the character of the forndations upon which the locks are to est. He has reported that they will be built 4 solid rock, but some members of th committee are not entirely satisfied of this, in the light of information they have received from the isthmus. Found Water in Holes. When Secretary Taft, with a party of engineeers, visited the isthmus last March, it was found, it is now averred, that six holes sunk had water in every one of them. This, it is claimed, shows that the so-called rock is permeable. Borings to this greater depth have been made and it is claimed that nothing has been found but volcanic rubble. The great dam at Gatun, which is to be a mile and half long, and half a mile wide, is planned without a granite is consideration of these things, together with the frequent changes that have already been made in the size of the locks, and even in those at Losa, and near the Pacific end, that has revived the feeiings in Congress that perhaps a mistake has been made and, after all, a sea-leve! canal might solve the problem of digging and dump

TAFT FAGES LABOR INSPEEGH TONIGRT AT COOPER UNION Secretary Wiillam H. Taft departed this morning for New York, where he will deliver an address at Cooper Union tonight, Widespread political interest attaches to this speech, because of the hearing it promises to have both on the New York situation and on the national situation with reference to the Presi dential nomination next summer. It is predicted in well-informed quar ters that Mr. Taft's speech tonight wiil be his most important one of the cam peign. He is expeced to take up the labor question and to deal with vital problems affecting capital and labor in outspoxen fashion. By reason of the fact that Secretary Taft is lovked on in many quarters as a foe to organized labor. anything he may have to say on this subject will attract keen attention, Sensation Is Expected. Mr. Taft was engaged all day ves terday preparing his speech. He is so busily occupied with his official duties that he found it necessary to leave his office and go to his house where, after his usuai manner when getiing up an address, he walked the floor and dictated rapidly to a stenographer, He generally dictates a speech in two or three hours, but in this instance devoted most of the day to it. Fer this reason, it is thought he has something of womelt to say and that he has weiglted his words with unusual care. The Secratary of War has been ad vised to talk one thing and another in his Cooper Union speech, Some wanted him to taik on the Phflippines, some on Chira, and ome on other topics But it was indicated to him with force by certain of his advisers and friends that the country wanted to hear from him on the livest issues and .that he could do nothing better than to look the labor question squarely in the face and tell the public just what he thinks about it. To Meet Issue Squarely. Of course, such a plan has not been looked on with favor by some of the Secretary of War's more timid friends, but he {is understood to have con cluded that his Cooper Union speech will be the hest possible time to deal square ly with labor matters. His views on injunctions will be set forth in this con nection it is expected. Mr. Taft's friends who want him to speak out assert that he has been done an injustice on the labor question and tazt it will be to his advantage Le talk out straight from the shoulder. They hold that he has nothing to fear from a frank exposition of his views cn this subject and that the better he and the leaders of organized laber un derstand each other the less he will be pps from this source.

e Secretary was at the “Mite House but left early this morning. He did not go to the ar Department, however, but had a short conference with the President before the Cabinet meeting. Mr. Taft left on the 11:00 o’¢lock nD for New York, over the Baltimore and Ohio. He will arrive in New York at 4:3% o'clock this afternoon, and will drive immediately to the home of his broth er, Harry Taft, at 36 West Forty eighth street, where he will stay until Sunday morning, He will meet a small party of men at dinner, and will de. iver his address this evening on ‘“‘Labor ant ye will h erence e ry ave a conf with the officials of the Philippine Rail. fod Company concerning the affairs o Charmed by Japanese, Halliz Erminie Rives Returns to Homeland Tons ona —Photo by IT areie FES.

Direct frem the wonderful land of the Mikado, which she terms the “dream country,” Mrs. Hallie Erminie Rives Wheeler, the novelist, this morn ing gave a glowing description of the land of her adoption, wliere environ ment, she says, will make a poet or novelist of almost everyone. Further more, the interview was ‘“‘illustrated,” or in other words, Mrs. Wheeler ex hibited from a private collection some of the most beautiful pictures of Japa nese life and scenes one might wish to see.

Mrs. Wheeler is in America to arrange for presentation upon the stage of her jatest novel "Satan Sanderson.”” While in Washirgton she is the house guest of Secretary and Mrs. Tart.

Mrs. VWheler did not confine the inter view wholly to Japan. The copyright laws, “Three Weeks,” women's clubs and other things came in for considera tion. Mrs. Wheeler seems able to talk upon aimost any subject and after one had been within range of her soft, musi sal voice (which betrays that she’s a native of the South), and her large, intense, violet blue eves, the interviewer is perfectly willing that she should talk upon anything.

It seems we American writers don’t know how to get the country stirred up over our works. How is that?” Puzzle the Postoffice Censor, “Suppose some of you write some ‘thing that will invoke the scrutiny of the Postmaster General,” suggested the reporter, Mrs. Wheeler smiled, but said nothing. Perhaps she shrugged her shoulders. “I am at work on a new book now. One is oblized te write in Japan. It is the ‘dream country’ of the world. My next book will deal with a love story in which both Japanese and Amer ican characters are introduced.”

“Why not ring in a little war talk, a few spies, some big cannon, and other formidable things. That might help sell the book. considering all this war talk,” was suggested. “That's true,” Mrs. Wheeler said nes itatingly, “No, that wouldn't do. -This (Continued or Pag: Seven) NEW ROAD OPENED; GAUTEMALANS HOLD Blt CELEBRATION Railway Line Opens Mountain Section From Sea to Sea.

responsible for the killing of White. Thaw, with his arms full of papers and wraps, as usual, stalked into the court room this morning looking neither to the right nor left. He sank into his chain beside his personal counsel, A. Russell Peabody, without even looking at the chairs where were seated his wife and members of his family. It was explained by the lawyers that Thaw is much worried over the iliness of his mother. He had confidently ex pected her to be able to leave Pitisburg for New York not later than Sunday, but reporis received here declare that her condition is causing her physicians grave concern. Woman Changed Mind. Another thing that adds to the worry of Thaw Is the report from Pittsburg that Ida Veronica Simonton, his invet erate foe, has changed her mind about not testifying against Thaw, 1t is said that Miss Simonton will start at once from Pittsburg prepared to go on the stand, and tell of the al leged brutalities to which the slayer of Stanford White had subjected Evelyn of their tour of Europe. Miss Simonton has also charged that Thaw villified and deserted Mrs. Holman, Evelyn's moth er, in London, and then sent her baci to America in Miss Simonton’s charges, “I have been misrepresented and abused by Harry Thaw's representa tives,” she said, “and now I am going on the stand to tell the whole story if I can.

Exclusion Question.

Anent the Japanese troubles the United States is having on the west coast of the United States, Sir Francis said:

H i 3 “America Is today experiencing just what England experienced years ago. Your statesmen have said they will amend the exclusion laws of the coun try so as to limit the immigration from Japan to this country. But Japan re plies that her citizens are as highly civilized and educated as Americans, that she recognizes no line between the two races, and that standing on the latest treaty between the two ecuntries she refuses to submit to an exclusion clause against her high-born citizens. The United States says it differs from Japan in this belief, but the exclusion law has not been passed as yet.

IE “I went down to Australia about six years ago to study this very question. it was the influx of Japanese laborers into Australia As you probably know, there a'¢ hundreds of pearl fishers in Australia, who make their headquarters cn Thursday Island. Very well. The pear] fishers wish to employ Japanese labor because it is much cheaper than any other. But there is an exclusion act in Australia, iit “But the Japanese get around it in this way. I believe there is a universal maritime law which says the limit of a country shall not extend more than three mmes out te sea. In Australia the pezrl fishers are bound ,to g0 more than t®ree miles out because no pearls are fovnd within that limit, Pearl Fishers. “Now. there are scores of Dutch lug gage vessels which supply these pearl fishing boats with provisions. So far, se good. The Japanese, who wish to get inte Australia, board these Dutch luggag® vessels and for a bonus are transferred to the pearling vessels. After the pear! fishing is done these same Japanese are taken to Australia. There they leave the boats and engage in working sugar plantations, the ma:n industry of Australia. They soon ac: quire the plantations, and we find that the undesirable Japanese has not only invaded the field of labor which Au stralia had a hard time to rid of the Polvnesians, but has become a busi ness man on the island. The Japanese hates menial labor, and the danger lies in his becoming an industri com petitor.

“In this fashion the immigration laws of Australia have been worked.

“Britain has been appealed to in the matter of exclusion of the Japanese.

SIR FRANCIS WALKER, English Newspaper Man, Who Is in Washington. served as an excellent shelter for Britain, but you in America have no such reason to offer for excluding the Japanese.

“The United States must accept Japan's point of view in the matter of exclusion or engage in open hos tilities, “When Australia raised the question of Japanese immigration, the Mikado said it was not his desire that his sub jects should go to foreign lands, but he wished them to develop the indus tries and resources of Japan's posses sions, Manchuria and Korea. Despite this, however, it was learned in Aus tralia that the immigration wag in no whit diminished after this information from the Mikado Sir Francis was surprised to find Americans so poorly informed as to the names and achievements of members of the British parliament. “One might reasonably suppose,” said Sir Francis, “that here where the Eng lish language is spoken the citi zens would be acquainted with the names of famous Englishmen and the doings of London. Such is not the case. They know less of the English states men than in other countries where Iing lish is not spoken. I attribute this to the vastness of your country. It is far more than a nation. I have traveied in all parts of America. “Washington has the finest legislative building in the world. Nothing in Eng land, Paris, Berlin, or St. Petersburg can compare with your magnificent Capitol. **This city is quiet. It is what you Americans call slow, but I call it quiet One can tell the difference between Washington and New York, where there is so much unnecessary hustle and bustle, when one steps into a cab. “In London we call the American journals sensational. You call them lively and snappy. Something between the sensationalism of the American pa rs and the conservative solidity of ndon papers is the happy medium. “It costs more to live in New York than London.” “Well, people have been living much longer in London than New York.” “Perhaps that accounts for it" said Sir Fransig First man—We have ¢le-cn kittens at our house, and I've named them all Peter Pan.

Three Committees Named to Consider Needs of System.

Supervising Principals Think That Law Should Be Let Alone.

nme? See Y Three subcommittees to Investigate needs of the public school system of the District were appointed at a meeting of tne c.umittee on public schools of the Board of Trade at itg initial meeting last nivhi. In the absence from the city 0” the chairman, Willlam H. Singteton. the meeting was called by the vice chairman, Herbert F. L. Allen, and was attended by a good majority of the members. The meeting was call ed that the eommitiee might be able to report te the Board of Trade at its next meeting, January 22. In order that the committee might not duplicate the work- already done by a similar committee of the Chambér of Commerce, and also that the board might have the benefit of investigations made by them, three members of the chamber committee, Postmaster Barnes, William F. Gude, and Ernest H. Daniel, were called vpon to speak of the cham ber's work. They reported that the Chamber of Commerce had already ex amined a number of the supervising principals of the schools, and that their opinions were in effect that no amend ment to the present school law should be urged at this time, but rather that the act should be tried out as a whole for a sufficient time to test its efficiency as it stands. It was too early, they thought, to consider amendments, espe cially since by so doing there was dan ger that the whole law be changed.

1 In order that information on the vari ous phases of the school system nnd its needs be had the three subcommit tees were then named. A special com mittee on playgrounds and school gar dens was also appointed. The personnel 0. the committees is as follows: School administration and amendment —Justice Charles S. Bundy, Wilham H. Baldwin, C. L. Harding, Ernest H. Daniel, Arthur T. Ramsay, Mrs. I. G Myer, David L. Selke, Eenjamin F. Barnes, John LIL. Smith, and Percy BS Foster. Repairs and sanitation—Willlam F Gude, Clarence B. Rheem, R. A. Phil lips, Ellis Spear, John 3. Henderscn, William Tindall, C. IT. Voder, Victor J. Becker, and Edgar D. Shaw. Building sites and new buildings—8id nev 1 Besseilevre, Walter N. Acker, A. Lisner, A. Joerrissen, Frederick A. Fenning, Henry Xander, A. Leftwich Sinclair, John Doyle Carmody, and Johr D. Cremer. Committee on playgronnds and schoo! gardens—Willilam F. Gude, A. Lisner and John M. Henderso. CARTER FORFEITS ALL; U.S. TAKES SECURITIES CHICAGO, Jan. 19.--Judge Kohlsaat yesterday rendered a decision agains: Capt. Oberlin M. Carter, former United States army engineer, charged with de frauding the Government out oi $700,000 through conspiracy with Contractors Greene and Gaynor. The court ruled that the $400,000 in un registered railroad bonds, which were traced to safety deposit vaults in all parts of the country, were not the prop erty of Carter. The Government will hold these securities and the famous case is brought to a close, HE ATE THE CRUST. Little Dickie, aged six and the gon of wealthy parents, came home one day and said, “Mamma, will it make me sick to eat pie crust? Teacher said iv would; she has ple every day for lunch and scrapes out the ple and throws the crust in the waste-basket, and 1 have been eating it every dsy, and 1 ain't sick.”"—Exc ge.

There was a glorious minstrel show in progress at the Reformers’ Hall last night. It was not a deceptive, black cork affair, but a real genuine perform ance, in which the performers wore their natural expressions untouched and undefiled by blackinz. The price was a quarter. To this show David McJordan was wending -his way, when he found his path blocked by a man whose coior rivaled the blackest minstrel who ever trod the boards. “Mah name's Waltah White,” ex plained the black person gently, “an’ Ah want's tuh git yo' in dish yere show cheap.” David showed his marked appreciation of the kindneas shown him by a stranger. “It's dis way,” continued “Waltah” in the same gentle, ingratiating voice, vo’ gives me a nickel an’ Ah zits yo' in de theater fo’ nuthin’. It's easy.” Dave didn’t like the manner iz which Walter uttered his final! remark, but he stifled his feelings amd followed the dark-hued White to the ticket office.

Walter had, a ently, forgotten that he existed. ith a grassy stare he marched past the ticket man, ten dering his one ticket. He didn't even Why Rengo Reduces Fat. Anti-Fats and Starvation Diet Result in Wrecking of the Svstem. Fal as a general rule comes from the failure of the digestive organs tp do their work properly. It may come also from over-eating. In these cases there is always some part the food eaten which is not eliminated as it should he, but is made up in the form of fat and sent by the blood to various parts of the body. This aecumulation continues con stantly until within a comparatively short time, the heart becomes incased in a layer or coating of fat. The heart seems to be cone of the first vital organs to become affected in this manner. ~The food, therefore, in cases of fat, is not properly assimilated—that is, part of the f is retained by the body which should not he retain and part which should be retained is thrown out. This does not always mean dyspepsia or indi gestion, for one may have a very healthy stomach and yet begin to grow fat, through no apparent cause. It is evident to any one, then, that to try to starve away the fat is both ridicu lous and dangerous. It may or may not have the desired effect, hut what is al most certain is that a starvation diet will give a shock to the whole system and wreck it. “The vietim then becomes a subject for the sanitarium or becomes an invalid. The same thing happens by trying to use anti-fats, remedies that positively stop digestion, something which is absurd and which sooner or later results in a break down of some organ and consequent disease. Bright's Disease, Nephritis, Gastritis and Neu ritis may quickly follow such treat menis Tropical fruit is and has been known for years as a remarkable regulator of the system. By a persisient use of such a mixture, the body will assume an ab =olutely normal condition, being neither too thin nor too large, and preserving the halance of a!l the organs, making the fortunate man or woman who uses it, healthy and happy. This is what Rengo dos:=. It contains a tropical fruit mixture which has this faculty of perfectly assimilating food taken into the body. That is the secret. It has resulted in making Rengo a mar vel as a fat-reducer and a health bullder, and a Godsend to all fat people. Rengo Is safe. It not only reduces vour weight to normal, but it increases your health. There is nothing “just #s good” as Rengo.

World's Diplomats Guests of Honor Ai White House

President “oosevelt last night re ceived the diplomats of the world, The reception ir Fenor of the forcign rep _resentatives at Weshington was really ‘the first state entertainment of the season, although the official calendar is headed with the receptioi on New Year Day. Not only is the guest list of the diplomatic reception smaller and more exclusive than that of any other ‘in the series, but the entertainment it i A self is Slways the most picturesque and

vas. “The reception last night was one of the prettiest in the social history of “Washington. Diplomats who attended the New Year receptior in. ordinary dress, put on their full uniforms last night, and their glittering swords and medals gave the finishing touch to their re galia. x

oo Rarely have there been seen So many ‘beautiful gowns. even at a stale recep tion, as those worn by the women guests last night. Gorgeous velvets and satins with court trains, and jewels ‘fn profusion were to be seen on every side, and in the East Room and corri dors, as well as in the Blue Room, where those especially invited by the

resident and Mre. Roosevelt were as sembled, the same brilliant picture met ihe eye. Unlike other receptions of the year, the guests roamed through the drawing rooms throughoht the evening, joining little groups here and there to exchange greetings and to chat.

i QUrchestra From Band.

Instead of the full Marine Band, an orchestra from the band furnished the music. Tall palms screened the players from the corridor, and in the reception rooms large clusters of roses formed the only decorations.

es

Although an effort is always made to have the dipiomatic reception very ex clusive, there are always many per sons there who are not too well accus tomed to the etiquette of the occasion, and last night several women wearing Jarge plumed hats were turned back ‘by the policemen on duty at the hears of the stairv/ay. They were told the) could not wear thelr hats into the re ception roons, and went downstairs anc removed them.

Senutor Depew was among the firs an uests to be received, after the diplomat:

President Roosevelt evidently enjoy: meeting his friends at the diplomatic reception quite as much as on othe ¢cecasions., st night he stopped man) of them, and kept the line standing some minutes while he talked wit} them. Chief among these favgred one: were the German Ambassador and Baronegs von Sternburg, who not onl) talked witha the President and Mrs Roosevelt, but with the Cabinet wome! in line.

That the people in attendance wer on the lookout for Mrs. Elinor Glyn the English writer, was manifest in th interest shown in every red-haire woman in line. There were many oO these, and as each came by one coul lear some one whisper, “I wonder i that's Mrs, Glyn!” But Mrs. Glyn wa nct there. iy, Sie’

Splendid Costumes. The Blue Room owed much of its bril liuney to the splendid costumes and jewels of the women, as well as to the! unitorms of the Adiplomats, and seldom as Mrs. Roosevelt appeared to better advantage than lost night. She wore a gown of vellkw and white striped grenadine over pale vellow satin and chiffon, the bodice effectively softened with lace and chiffon. Next to her stood Mrs. Fairbanks in a gown of heavy white lace over white satin. Mrs. Root wore a trailing robe of pale blue brocaded satin. Mrs. Cortelvou's gown wus of rich white brocade, with a deli cate outlining of goid in the trimming, with lace to further soften the effect of the bodice.

Mrs. Ronaparte’s costume was notable, not only from its grace of outline, but also from a historic standpoint. Over a robe of apricot peau de scie was ara, an overdress of point lace in. tunic effect, and>on the bodice some rare old Winier point, selected from her Bonaparte collection. Another suggestion of the reign eof Napoleon was a large diamond set in black enamel, and worn as a brooch— one of the rarest jewels of the Bona parte collection, and which belonged to the mother of the Emperor, and was presented by him to Mme. Bonaparte.

Mrs. Meyer, wore a princess gown of black velvet, and a diamond collar ara jeweled corsage ornaments. Mrs. Met calf wore a costume of delicate blue chiffon embroidered in pink ‘and gold roses, softened by illusion and lace bout the bodice Ars. Garfield wore a gown of rich white satin, simply made, and ‘rimmed with crystal! passe mentrie, and Mrs. Straus, wife of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, wore becoming gown of heavy white satin, with princess lace on the bodice. Mrs. l.oeb, who came down with the recciv “ing party, wore a handsome gown of black satin and duchess lace.

The Alisses Mever, daughters of the Pestmaster General, wore dainty cos tumes of nile green messaline, with elaborate lace trimmings, and Mrs. Hockstadter, daughter of the Secre tary of Commerce and Labor and Mrs. Ktraus, wore rose colored velvet with Venetian point lace, ard ore of her digmonds was that left her in the will ¢f the Baroness de Hirsch.

HH First to Greet President.

Baroness Mayor des Planches, wife of the Italian ambassador, accompanying her husband, the dean of the Diplo matic Corps in Washington, was the first woman to greet the President and Mrs .Roosevelt. The baroness wore handsome costume of heavy white satin embellished with point de Venice lace. Mme.
