GATES DIDN'T OPEN.
Picnic Barred From White House
Grounds Because of Color Line

washington, Aug. 10.-Again the color
line has stirred things up about the
White House, and President Roosevelt
has made it clear that the 'pickaninny'
shall not be Disseminated against with
his sanction.
Mrs. Charles Smith and other philan-
thropic women, who belong to the Wo-
mans Rescue league, obtained Presi-
dent RoOsevelt's permission to give 500
children picnic on the White House
lot Saturday afternoon. The president
also ordered the Marine band to play
for the little folks. The rumOr reached
the president that Mrs. Smith and her
associates had barred negro children
from the outing. Colonel SymOns. the
officer in charge of public buildings and
grounds, was ordered by the president
to refuse the use of the White lot to the
picnic and to grant the committee the
privilege of entertaining the children in
the Presidents park. which is outside
the fence inclosing the executive man
sion Members of the committee were
also informed that it would be impossi-
BILE to have the Marine band play in the
Presidents park.
Mrs. Smith and associates were indig-
nant at the presidents change. of heart
and telegraphed the president asking
him to recall his order. But the recall
never came Undaunted by the an
nouncement that they would be refused
admission to the White House grounds,
Mrs Smith and her associates applied
at the gates for admission early Satur-
day morning and maintained they
should be allowed to enter because their
arrangements had all been made
The White House gates did not open
to the little army of pleasure seekers, so
Mrs Smith conducted her wards to the
Presidents park. where they played and
ate their dinner. In the absence of the
Marine band, Mrs. Smith persuaded a
number of Italian organ grinders to fur
nish music for the little folks.
L am convinced that some one wrote
to the president and told him we did not
intend to entertain colored children, "
said Mrs Smith. in discussing the hitch
in the plans. TT is true that we had de-
cided to draw the color line, but we dc
not think that was sufficient for break
ing the promise made to u.s.
