DEBUT OF ALICE ROOSEVELT.
The Presidents Oldest Daughter Makes her
Entrance Into Washington Society.
nv The Associated Press. ]

Washington, Jan. 3.--Miss Alice Roose-
velt the oldest daughter of President,
and Mrs. Roosevelt, was formally pre-
sented to Washington society tonight at
ball given in her honor at the White
House. About five hundred guests in all
were present, many of whom either were
connections of the Roosevelt family or
we'll known society people living outside
of Washington.
Miss Roosevelt is the first White House
debutants since 1878, when Miss Nellie
Grant, the daughter of President and
Mrs. Grant, was presente to society at
a ball. which was the gayeSt social
event of the decade.
Tonight's entertainment was given a
personal rather than an official charac-
ter by Mrs. Roosevelt, whose wish was
that Miss Roosevelt should make her
debut, much as though it had taken place
in her own private home rather than in
the White House. There was no cotil-
lion and consequently no favors.
When the ball was opened tonight the
interior of the White House was most
attractive. Never before have the floral
decorations been more beautiful. The
massive mirrors, chandeliers, columns
and ceiling of the East Room. where the
dancing occurred, were festooned and
garlanded with smilax, maiden hair fern
and asparagus trimmed with bouquets of
carnations. More than a mile of green
festooning was used in this way. The
window recesseS were filled with palms
rising out of banks of variegated foliage
The mantels were banked with roses and
azaleas set in tropical crotons and crown
ed above with screw pins. English holly
was used in profusion in the decorations.
The Red, Green and Blue Parlors also
were aorned on the same lavish scale.
When the guests arrived at the White
House they were conducted to the Blue
Parlor. where the presentations were
made, Mrs. Roosevelt introducing her
daughter. The latter presented a charm
ing appearance in a dress of white
chiffon with white roses and wearing the
jewels, which her father gave her at
Christmas. Mrs. Roosevelt wore pure
white, with white lace and trimmed with
lilac orchids; Miss Helen Roosevelt, a
cousin of the Presidendt, and who also
was of the immediate party of the hos
tess, wore white chiffon with white satin
ribbon, and Miss Cutting, white lace
trimmed with tulle with pink roses.

of Columbia.
Col. j. C. L. Harris has been to Wash
ington. seen the President in Young's
interest and returned to the city.
All Of the above mentioned facts have
taken place in the last week, but they
have been closely guarded as secret and
never leaked out until yesterday.
Col. Harris, who endorsed Jim Young's
candidacy for appointment to succeed ex-
Congressman H. P. Cheatham, was in
formed by the President that the matter
was with Senator Pritchard Mr.. Roose-
Welt stated that he had promised Sena-
tor Pritchard that he should name the
Recorder, and he informed Mr.. Harris
that he would appoint the man recon-
mended by the Senator.

seen yesterday Cheatham said he came
here to see his son at Shaw University.
The fight is on between Jim Young and
John G. Dancy, and the one that has the
most influence with Senator Pritchard
will win out. Young has influential
Republicans at work and is making things
hum. Dancy is supposed to have Prit-
chard's support and if he has why then
he's got all the best of it. But from
what Republicans said yesterday some
mighty interesting developments may be
expected. soon.
Loge was doing business in his law
shop yesterday, and when asked about
his visit to the President, replied that
he had "been to Washington" While
admitting nothing it was learned from
authoritative sources yesterday that
Col. Harris saw the President on two
occasions and that he took occasion to
strongly endorse Young's candidacy.

ThE DYKES GAVE WAY.
State Farms Flooded by the Roanoke Which
is on Rampage.

A telegram received here yesterday
stated that the Roanoke River had risen
above its banks and washed away dykes
on the State farms, flooding the land.
This is the second time this year the
State farms have been flooded and dykes
washed away. Happily for the State the
crops are almost completely harvested.
There are about forty bales of cotton
still in the field, but it is not known
whether the water reached the uppicked
cotton.
1t is always a great expense to the
State for the dykes to wash away, but
the loss this season of the year is not
to be compared with that in the spring,
when the various crops have just been
planted.

that close enough attention had not
been paid to drilling as is required by
law and he deemed it time to look into
the matter.
He made the statement that North
Yakima is provided with the best arm
DRY in the state and he was surprised
that the members of the company did
not take more interest in it. He formed
court OF this character and placed
Capt. W. l.. Lemon in charge until fur
ther arrangements could be made about
it. Hereafter it is the intention to
strictly enforce the law with regard to

LEMON MAY GET 1T.
Congressman Jones Has Decided TO Recon-
mend Him for the Postmasterstip.

1t was announced last week by Con-
gresham Jones that he had decided to
recommend William /. Lemon for the
position of postmaster of North Yak
ina. As to when the appointment
would take place nothing definite was
said. 1t may be soon, so the new official
can take office by February LIST, or il
may not be for some time thereafter.
That change is contemplated there is
no question, and if Mr.. Lemon is APP
pointed no objection will be raised by
THE HERALD. He is competent to fl
the position, and no doubt will give
North Yakima better mail service than
it has been getting for several years
past.
However, the announcement above
stated is causing considerable talk
among the other aspirants for the posi-
ton, some Of whom express the opinion
that Congressman Jones is not acting
square. In a letter to another party
here after Mr.. Jones had made the above
announcement, he says that he had
decided to recommend Mr.. Lemon
when it was decided to make a change >
but that Mrs. Sperry would be re-
tanned for some time to come.

ACCUSED or MURDER.
J. Stewart Fife Arrested by Marshal Boyle on
Information from ST. Joseph. Missouri.

City Marshal John G.. Boyle made an
important arrest here late Monday after
noon in the person of J. S. Fife or Stew
art Fife, who is wanted at st. Joseph,
Missouri for the alleged murder of Frank
W. Richardson, a millionaire at Sa-
vanah, Missouri, on December "a, 1900.
Young Fife was just preparing to leave
the city when he was apprehended and
had that day been released through ha-
beas corpus proceedings before Judge
Rudkin in case that was pending
wherein he was charged with assault
and battery.
He came here two months or more
ago from Portland and worked for u. A.
Hanna as a clerk. He was arrested
three times on various charges and after
the last case was dismissed against him
by the superior court a warrant was
sworn out again charging him with as
sault and battery.
He had prepared to leave here for
Seattle on the p. m. train on Monday
and, it is said, had purchased ticket
for the trip, but for some reason decided
to wait till Tuesday morning. On the
same train that he was to leave on a let
ter came from the chief of police of ST.
Joseph, Missouri to the chief of police
OF this city, Mr.. Boyle. He immedi-
ately set about to look for Fife whom he
knew very WELL and on a little inquiry
learned that Fife had gone. kilograms
were sent ahead to apprehend him at
Cle-Elum or wherever officers might
overtake him. Shortly after these
messages were sent out Fife was seen on
the streets and placed under arrest by
Marshal Boyle and his assistant. Fife
was then turned over to Sheriff Tucker
who in turn notified the St. Joseph
authorities, and they have replied that
a man would be on here, leaving there
on Wednesday morning.
The description sent on TALES exactly
with young Fife, who is but % years
old. a photograph accompanied the
letter and it was no trouble to recognize
the fugitive. He is tall, rather good
looking and dresses like one who has
means, although his countenance is not
Of the most reassuring kind.
The murder of Frank Richardson was
one OF the most sensational crimes in
the history of Missouri. The murdered
man was millionaire banker at Savan-
nah, town near st. Joseph. He was
shot in the hallway of his residence on
Christmas evening by some person or
persons unknown.
Stewart Fife, Mr.. Richardson's part
ner, was under suspicion. At the cor
oner's inquest he testified that the
murdered man had accused him, four
months previously, of being duly init
mate with Mrs. Richardson. Mrs.
Richardson was also suspected of the
crime, but protested her innocence, and
on her trial was acquitted.
