AT WHITE HOUSE
Roosevelt Receives All Digni
taries and Gives New
Year's Greetings.
THEN THE GENERAL PUBLIC
cvtral Candidates for President
tiiven Warm Greetings Brown
son Prominent Among Naval
Men Costumes of Women.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. President
Roosevelt received at the White House
tnday a New Year's throng of well-wishers
which was throe hours in passing.
Mrs. Roosevelt and the rnembers and
the women of the Cabinet were his as
sistants. Though curtailed in numbers,
the crowd of otvlo. exceeding by more than
a thousand that of the preceding New
Year Day. The reception was resplendent
In all the incidents of tradition which
have accumulated for more than a hun
dred years. The gorgeousness of the dip
lomatic and militant features, the cordial
ity of the many personal friends of the
President, who made him their seventh
innual greeting as such, and the intensely
human and patriotic characteristics of the
American people combined to make to
day's reception historic.
From greeting In stately dignity and ap
propriate surroundings the Ambassadors
and Ministers of the nations of the world,
lo stooping far down to grasp the hand
of a "dolly" that Its toddling parent of
a year and a half might be gratified,
were the extremes required of the Presi
dent, and both the Infant and the dip
lomat realized an anticipated pleasure.
And the President enjoyed it all.
Many Candidates There.
The sciting. the historic White House
nd the picturesque and entertaining ac
cessories, were amply sufficient to en
thuse the holiday exhlllratlon. The pres-i-nce
of men whose names are dally in the
public press as Presidential aspirants
lent interest to more subtle observations.
The Vice-President, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives,. Secretary C.'or
telyon. Senator La Follette, all of them
had pleasing things said to them in the
big east room, where the guests gathered
to chat after passing through the historic
blue parlor and making their bow to the
receiving party. Then there was Admiral
Brownson, whose recent difference with
the President led to his resignation as
Chief of the Bureau of Navigation. He
came late and hurried through the lobby
and corridor and reached the President
pear the head of the gorgeously uniformed
naval line. The Admiral received many
hearty handclasps from brother officer
of the line of the Navy. Admiral Rixey
also was in the naval contingent.
The arrangement of the programme,
based upon previous years, gave two
hours for the official part of the recep
tion. Owing to the lesser number from
Congress, Army and Navy Departments,
the public was admitted half an hour
early and, stepping to the quick music of
the Marine Band, the line crowded
through the receiving rooms for elghty
Hfven minutes.
Baron Bdmond Mayor des Planches, the
Italian Ambassador, as dean of the dip
lomatic corps, had the honor of leading
that corps. General Franklin Bell, as
Chief of Staff, led the Army and Admiral
Dewey the Navy. Secretary and Mrs.
Root left the reception shortly after the
diplomats passed along the line, so as to
be at their home in time to receive them.
Order or Precedence.
The niceties of diplomatic etiquette
were religiously observed in the con
duct of that part of the reception,
which lias grown during the last 100
years more and more to- partake large
ly of an official function. In this way,
but without appearance of prearrange
ment. the President greeted first the
Vice-President and .the members of the
Cabinet, then each foreign nation rep
resented in the person of Ambassador
or Minister; the Judiciary, through the
personnel of the Supreme Court bench
and the Judges of the local Federal
and District Courts; Senators and Rep
resentatives In Congress; officers of
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and
Militia of the District of Columbia;
heads of Government bureaus and mem
bers of the Government commissions,
organizations of veterans. including
the Society of Cincinnati, Aztec Club
J 874, Associated Veterans of the War
of 1S46-47; Military Order of the Loyal
Legion, Grand Army of the Republic,
Medal of Honor Legion, Union Veteran
Legion, Union Veterans" Union, Society
of the Army of Santiago, Spanish W ar
Veterans, Army and Navy Union, Min
ute Men. Sons of the American Revolu
tion, Oldest Inhabitants Association of
the District of Columbia and then the
public.
Brilliant Scene Presented.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt oc
cupied the hour preceding the stroke
of 11 in receiving and entertaining the
members of the Cabinet and those spe
cially invited to membership in the
receiving party In the library on the
ipper floor. Diplomats, judges, legis
lators and Army officers gathered in
conversational groups in the state dining-room.
The red - coated Marine
Band, banked like the potted foliage,
on either side of the entrance in the
lofiy lobby with its white marble floor,
furnished the stnge ttctlng for the re
ceiving party. The red, blue and green
parlors, forming connecting links be
tween the stale diulng-room on the
west and the East room were fragrant
with cut flowers effectively placed. It
was l:i the Blue parlor or state room
that the receiving party took position
shortly after 11 o'clock. Trumpeters
heralded tlu: approach of the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt down the gray
white marble stairs and to the band's
rendition of "Hail to the Chief," the
lcc.'plion began.
Leisurely and with no semblance of
formality those in the state dining
room passed through the red parlor
Into the presence of the President.
The receiving party formed the arc
of a circle, filling the large bow win
dow opening to the south. They faced
a wide door to the corridor and lobby,
thus viewing and in view of the scenes
and throngs there. Introductions were
made to the President by Colonel
Charles Bromwell. superintendent of
public buildings and grounds, and to
Mrs. Roosevelt by Captain Frank R.

dent. Leaving the Blue parlor, the
route of exit was through the Green
parlor, the East room, down the stairs
to the social annex and the east gate.

the ladies of the Cabinet were strik

Kuwned in old blue marquette. the
skirl full and a frame of velvet ribbon
of bowknots and garlands making a
trimming which reached half way up
to the belt. A yoke of lace and half
sleeves of ruffles lace were the finish

Brownson Hears of Say Line.
Rear-Admiral Brownson was one of the
first officers of the Navy to greet Presi
dent Roosevelt. To do this he left his
place in the line and made his way
through the crowd into the red parlor,
passing Rear-Admiral Rixey and taking
his place immediately after the Army
officers, who preceded the Navy. Admiral
Brownson 's hand was grasped by sev
eral of his brother fticers as he was
making his way ahead of them. After his
greeting to the President, which was cor
dial, he remained in the east room for
some time chatting and receiving greet
lngs.
The President took occasion in his New
Year's greeting to Dr. Starr, who has just
celebrated his 100th birthday anniversary,
to congratulate the veteran member of
the Oldest Inhabitant Association, and to
wish him many returns of the day.
-"You, sir, have seen the growth of
this Republic." said the President, as he
recognized Dr. Starr and recalled his
previous New Year's visit.
Dr. Starr made an earnest reply, where
upon the President remarked:
"Any word from you will receive in
stant consideration."

NEW YORK WORLD PRINTS A CARTOON OF
SENATOR BOURNE
ll c
Under the caption. "Bourne, of Ore? on. Just Talk Roosevelt: He Is the Sena
tor Who Disclosed the -Dark Conspiracy Against the President." the New York
World prints the above cartoon and the following skit from its Washington
correspondent:
"Even If Jonathan Bourne. Jr., neve, does anything brilliantly Senatorial he
will be entitled to a place In the Hall of Fame. It was he. coming refreshingly
out of the wilds of Oregon, 'Who disclosed a millionaires' conspiracy to defeat
the renominatlon of President Hooseve.lt. to aa nothing of his solution of the
third-term problem, that seven years' service as President doesn't really mean
seven years that seven goes Into four just once, and carry nothing.
"Bourne hitched himself to the Roosevelt band wagon the minute he stepped
off the train at the National capital, and he's been hitched ever since. He got
In right with his slogan. 'Roosevelt for a second elective term not & third
term.
"That made a rreat hit for Bourne, and when he followed it by revealing the
deep, dark plot hatched by the trusts to defeat his Idol he secured the high
privilege of entering the Cabinet room without sending In hla card.
"In the Senate Mr. Bourne Is never mentioned without a reference to that
'second elective term. In appearance he suggests the alert, clean-cut. smooth
shaven and smoothly groomed drummer or the hustling agent of the life 'Insur
ance Industry.
"He doesnt bother himself about speeches, or rescuing the country from
financial panics, or anything like that, but Just plugs along talking Roosevelt.
"He nas made a hit with the older fellows because he hasn't any brain dis
turbing fads, tells a good story and. isn't offensive, even vrhen he talks about
the master mind."
AMEND Mil LIS
Principal Point in Governor
Hughes' Message.
MORE RESTRICTION NEEDED
Increase In Reserve of Trust Com
panies Recommended Direct Pri
mary and Regulation of Both
Telegraph and Telephone.
ALBANY, Jan. 1. The 131st annual ses
sion of the New York State Legislature
began at noon today. James Wadsworth.
Jr., was re-elected Speaker of the As
sembly. The second" annual message of
Governor Hughes was the feature of In
terest.
The message contains many important
recommedations. Chief among these, in
the light of certain conditions disclosed by
the recent financial upheaval, is a recom
mendation regarding the amendment of
the law relating to banks and trust com
panies. In bringing this matter to the
attention of the Legislature, the Governor
urged them to adopt every practicable
means "to prevent repetition of repre
hensible practices and to assure the prop
er management of the financial institu
tions chartered and supervised by the
state, on whose stability and prosperity
the Interests of our people. In every waik
of life, so largely depend.
Direct Primary Recommended.
Another important recommendation has
as its object the complete suppression of
race track gambling throughout the state.
Direct nominations at primaries and a
simplified form of ballot are urged in the
message, and recommendations also are
made for better provision for the care
and protection of emigrants.
With reference to the banking laws,
the message says:
"Recent events have demonstrated the
necessity for , providing etTective means
for preventing the exploitation of banks
and trust companies, and the acquisition
and use of a control of a number of in
stitutions to facilitate selfish schemes
opposed to sound banking.
"If suitable restrictions are imposed in
explicit form and with appropriate pen
alties, ensuring adequate knowledge and
proper action on the part of the board of
directors with regard to loans and other
transactions, preventing the deposit of
moneys of one institution with another In
order that officers, directors, stockholders
of the former may obtain desired 'credits
from the latter; limiting the amount
which may be loaned by any bank or
trust company upon the stock of another
financial institution; reducing the amount
which may be loaned upon collateral to
any one Interest, and erecting proper

safeguards against loans and investments
in aid of schemes of promotion repre
sented by unmarketable securities, and if
in addition suitable means are provided
for the enforcement of the rulings of the
Superintendent of Banks with regard to
improper or unsafe practices, the secur
ity of our financial institutions and the
confidence which springs from just re
liance on their proper management will
greatly be strengthened.
Enlarge Trust Company Reserves.
"It Is apparent that existence of de
mand obligations requires reserves to"
be, maintained and that they have the
salutary tendency to prevent an undue
expansion of receipts. With regard to
trust companies, however, the matter
of reserves is a phase of larger ques
tion. It was not contemplated by the
law relating to trust companies that
they should engage in the same busi
ness as banks. In practice, however,
they have engaged in the banking
business upon a large scale and the
moneys deposited with them are for
the most part payable on demand.
"Whatever reserves or other restric
tions may be deemed advisable with
reference to demand deposits in the
case of a bank should be equally ob
ligatory with reference to the same
sort of deposits in the case of a trust
company."
The Governor recommends that pro
vision be made for liquidation of In
solvent banking Institutions under the
supervision of the Superintendent of
Banks.
Extreme caution In making any
changes In the insurance law Is urged
by the Governor. He says that, while
any suggestions of additions should re
ceive proper consideration, no changes
should be made unless it clearly ap
pears that they are needed to conserve
the Interests of the policy-holders. He
also suggests the advisability of pro
viding for the liquidation under the
supervision of the Superintendent of
Insurance of Insolvent corporations in
the same manner as is proposed for the
liquidation. .of banking institutions.
Regulate Telegraph and Telephone.
The enlargement of scope of the Public
Service Commission's law proposed in the
message would provide for the extension
of the act to include telegraph and tele
phone companies in addition to the cor
porations already under supervision.
Such extension of ttie act would bring
the telegraph and telephone companies
under regulation as to rates, service and
other matters similar to that which ob
tains in the case of the corporations at
present subject to the law. The Govern
or recommends that extension of juris
diction shall take effect on October 1,
1908. ,
The question of bovine tuberculosis is
referred to as one which requires serious
attention.
Jail for Poolsellers.
In case of racing-track betting, the
Governor recites the constitutional pro
vision forbidding lotteries, poolselling,
bookmaking or any other form of gam
bling within the state, and empowering
the Legislature to fix penalties therefor,
and the amendment to the penal code
which prescribes as the punishment for
poolselling at race tracks the forfeiture
of the money paid by the bettor to be
recovered. The message continues:
THe constitution makes no exception of
racs tracks. 1 recommend that the Legis
lature carry out the clear direction of the
people without discrimination. In connec
tion with the repeal of the existing excep
tion I recommend that the offense de
scribed In the penal code should be pun
ished by Imprisonment and that the alter
native of fines should be abolished.

design. There is a responsiveness of touch and a general mechanical superiority which places the
grand in a class by itself.
NOTEWORTHY in our present display may be mentioned the famous Chickering " Quarter
Grand," as well as Chickerings of larger size, the hand-made Art Hazelton, the splendid
Sohmer, the beautiful Bush & Gerts, several superb Lesters, of Philadelphia fame, and Chi

Blames All on Youtsey.
GEORGETOWN. Ky., Jan.. 1. When
Commonwealth Attorney 'Franklin finished
his speech in the Caleb Powers trial this
afternoon at 6:30 o'clock, the jury went
to dinner, with the understanding that
it would decide whether It should begin
their deliberations tonight or wait until
tomorrow morning. Upon returning to
the courtroom it reported that it had de.
cided to wait until morning. Upon re
ceiving this report. Judge Morris ad
journed court until tomorrow at 9 o'clock.
Never, perhaps, has such a crowd
packed the courtroom as was crowded
into the building today to hear ex-Congressman
W. C. Owens and Mr. Frank
lin close the arguments. The building
was wholly inadequate to accommodate
the crowds; men and women literally
fought for admission to the courtroom.
Judge Owens consumed the entire fore
noon arguing on the theory that Goebel
was assassinated by Henry Youtsey,
whom he characterized as a murderous
crank, of the Guiteau and Czolgosz pat
tern, who had committed the crime on
his own responsibility and of his own
volition, and there was no conspiracy
concocted by Powers or any one else.
