Diplomatic Corps, High Oflleials " and Leading: Citizens Pay Their Homage. Vashii'stnn, Jan. '1. President and Mrs. Boosevelt inaugurated today the efBcial social season in the nation's capital With a brilliant reception at the V.'hlte House. For more than a hun dred years It" has been an unbroken e.ustom of presidents of the United States to receive on NewTear's day . all oftVlals of the government located in 'W'nshington, and such citizens as :nI?M tare to pay their respects to the nation's chief magistrate. In addition to citizens of the United States mem bers of the diplomatic corps at Wash ington embrace the opportunity to ex tend personally to the president their own good wishes and the greetings of then- governments. . The r':eption of the president on New Tear's day is thoroughly demo en.tlr; That of today was notably so. X distinctions of raee or class were mnde except such as were rendered necessary by due respect for order. All persons, rich or poor, with or with out rank, were given a gracious greet ing by President and Mrs, Roosevelt. Decorations of Whits House. The Interion of the White House was never more beautiful than today. The mansion giowed with electric lights, and floral decorations were dis posed about the corridors and par lors. Rare palms, potted plants and exquisite cut flowers were arranged effectively in every available space Great rectangular urns, banked to the edges with dwarf palms and holly, were placed between the maid corri dor and the vestibule, forming a fit ting background for the gorgeous new uniforms of the Marine Band, which, 10 pieces strong, was seated in the vestibule. The band furnished music throughout the ' reception under the baton of the commander, Lieutenant Bitnteimann. In the red, blue and green parlors, the- dominant jflecora tisns were vases of cut flowers, chiefly llllles of the valley, roses and flaming poinsetta blossoms. , For the children of President and Mrs. Roosevelt J It was a memorable of the inunedlute receiving party. Secretary Hay HU A notable absentee from the receii tlon was Secretary of State Hay, who occasion. They" were here, there and ! is confined to his home by Ulnem. Roth everywhere about the mansion, having! the IYeslde.it and Mrs. Roosevelt were always a merry word for their guests particularly gracious in the greetings to their caller. The president chatted and deep interest In all the arrange ments. Eleven o'clock was the hour fixed for the beginning of the recept ion. For a half hour before that time carriages containing members of the diplomatic corps rolled up to the southern entrance of the White House the ambasadorB, ministers, and at taches of the embassies and legations assembling as usuiil in the state din ing' room. All were attired in mag nificent court costumes., or handsome military or nav.-il uniforms and with sparkling 'epaulettes and glistening swords presented a gorgeous spec tacle. Colombia ii Absent. Among the representatives of the na tions of the world It was noticed that there was one absentee. Colombia, one of this country's sister republics of the south, was not represented at the leception. In view of the political relations between the United States anl the government of Colombia, the ubsence of a representative of the South American republic was noter in stantly. Indeed, among some of the diplomats, it was regarded as signifi cant. General Rafael Reyes, the mln Istcr of Colombia to this country on a special mission, did not attend the reception, lest, It Is understood, his presence at the White House might be misconstrued !y his people. He therefore, had begged to be excused. Di, Herran, the Colombian change d'affaires, was detained at his residence by a bronchial affection. Today, as a year ago, a new republic was represented for the first time in the line of diplomats. Last year it was Cuba; this year the republic of Pana ma, M. Bunau-Varllla belnj; the ac credited minister of the Infant state who exchanged greetings with the president. At 11 o'clock today a fan-fare of trumpets announced the opening of the reception and the approach of the P res ident and Mrs. Roosevelt, President Roosevelt, escorting Mrs. Roosevelt, descended to the main staircase and passed to the blue parlor, 'where the guests were received. They were foN lowed by members of the cabinet and their accompaning ladles and members fieoiieiitlv with a friend, and .', Roosuvelt entered Into the affair with ev'rtont enjoyment. President Uoose veit was attired in a conventional fro( k suit. SEEK TO PLACE BLAME. (Continued from page 1.) evident that the evening papers deM ed to follow the usual holiday us torn and abandon publication. The City Press Association discontinued all attempt to keep track of the bodies at. the morgues, the fact being pal pable that the effort was more pro ductive of error than genuine Infor mation owing to the confusion Inrl dent to the removal of bodies and the dazed condition of those In charge as the result of overwork and loss of sleep. Instead of records at the morgues the issue of burial permits at the coroner's ofllce was substituted as a less unsatisfactory method of holding tne death count. Sad Crowds at Morgues. The crowds of searchers for rela tlves and friends continued at the morgues today. While the number of persons pressing for tidings or Iden tification showed material dimlnua- tlon, the anxiety and weariness were Intensified. The constant presence of the black wagons of undertakers was conspicuous addition today to the many scattered neighborhoods where the .morgues are located. A mourn ful Variation was the appearance of bands playing dirges as funerals slow ly passed toward churches, railway stations and cemeteries. At the hospitals, where many fear fully burned persons are being cared for, death was being momentarily awaited In a number of cases. All that could be done had been, except to sit and watch for the last breath. typical case was , that of James Schneider, who was being cared for at the Samaritan hospital by some of his relatives. Mr, Schneider flnafly passed away today. Union Drivers at Work. , . ' The majority of the striking drivers Authorities Will Saf Gurd Play Houses of Metropolis. New York., Jan. 1.
