the negroes came this year is due
to Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude on the

live east of Lancaster, died at 6
o'clock Sunday morning at Harts-
Vile, where he had been since

Roosevelt Carrying His Ideas of
Social Equality to the Ex-
treme Limit. Something
About the Affair.

Washington, Jan. 23.-South
ern senators and representatives
held little indignation meetings
all day at the capitol. The sub
Ject under discussion was the
presence of several negro men
and women at the white house
reception In honor of congress
and the Judiciary last night,
circumstances which caused sew
eral Southern gentlemen, nearly
all OF whom are members of con-
gress, TO leave the mansion in \
huh. This incident and the facts
which led to il were the absorb.
ing topics Of comment TODAY. and
indignant interviews with South
ern senators and congressman
are being sent out to newspapers
in the Southern states tonight.
1t was ascertained today that
the negro guests were John @.
Dancy, recorder of deeds of the
district of Columbia, and his wife
and daughter, who accompanied
him JuJsOn Lyons, register of
the treasury, and SIX or eight
other negroes, men and women.
whose names are not known.
Officials at the white house de
cllned today to give the names of
the negroes who were present,
but it was explained that they
we're federal officeholders in
Washington, with members of
their families, and that they were
invited according to custom. 1t
was said at the white house that
the families of negro officials of
the government in Washington
are always invited to the state
receptions.
The colored guests had a rather
lonesome time of it at the recep.
ton. After they had shaken
hands with the president and had
passed into the east room thew
stood for some time in the corner
of the apartment talking among
themselves, but not mingling
with the white guests. they
were as inoffensive as possible,
even from the point of view of a
sensitive Southerner, but there
was a good deal of comment, and
several Southern congressman got
angry and hastily left the house.
Ihls WAS after they had a chance
to talk it over among themselves
and express the Indignation thew
felt toward the president for
heaping such an alleged indig-
nifty upon them. Representa-
tiVes Small and Pou, of North
Carolina, were among those who
made their hasty departure from
the white house conspicuous.
Several senators and congress
men from bhe southern states
declared today that they would
never visit the white house again
either socially or on business.
1t was seated, and the fact
seems 10 be established, that only
in rare instances in the past has
negro man attended a white
house reception, although invited
to do so, and that probably no
negro woman has ever been there.
This statement, Of course, applies
only 10 the especially invited
guests, Tor a large number of ne
groes OF both sexes always attend
the pubic receptions. HE last
evening winter reception at the
white house has always been open

tors and congressman declared
