THEY RECEIVE
President and Mrs. Roosevelt En-.
tertain at White House.
Diplomatic Corps, High Officials
and Leading Citizens Pay
Their Homage.

Washington, Jan. President and
Mrs. Roosevelt inaugurated today the
official social season in the nations
capital with a brilliant reception at the
White House. For more than a hun
3red years it has been an unbroken
custom of presidents Of the United
States to receive on New Years day
all officials of the government located
in Washington, and such citizens as
might care to pay their respects to the
nations chief magistrate. In addition
10 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
their governments.
The reception Of the president on
New Years day is thoroughly demo-
cratic. That Of today was notably so.
No distinctions of race or class were
made 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 White House.
The interior Of the White House
was never more beautiful than today.
The mansion glowed 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,
so pieces strong, was seated in the
vestibule. The band furnished music |
throughout the reception under the
baton Of the commander, Lieutenant

ed to follow the usual holiday Gus
tom 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-
nation owing to the confusion Incl
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

Sad Crowds at Morgues.
The crowds OF searchers for rela-
tives and friends continued at the
morgues today. While the number Of
persons pressing for tidlngs or iden-
tificatlon showed material diminua-
tion, the anxiety and weariness were
intensified. The constant presence Of
the black wagons Of undertakers was
q conspicuous addition today to the
many scattered neIghborhoods where
the .morgues are located. A mourn
full 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 momentarlly
awaited In a number Of cases. All
that could be done had been, except

Colombia is Absent.

Among the representatives Of the ma
tions of the world 1t was noticed that
there was one absentee. Colombia.
one of this country's sister republics
OF the south, was not represented at
the reception. In view Of the political
relations between the United States
and the government Of Colombia, the
uhsonce Of representative of the
South American republic was noter in-
stantly. Indeed, among some OF the
Diplomats, 1t was regarded as signifi-
cant. General Rafael Reyes, the min
lister of Colombia to this country on
"A special mission, did not attend the
reception. lest, 1t is understood, his
presence at the White House might be
misconstrued by his people. He
therefore, had begged to be excused.
Di. Herran, the Colombian change
d'affaires, was detained at his residence
by bronchial affection.
Today, as a year ago. a new republic
was represented for the first time in the
line of diplomats. Last year 1t was
Cuba; this year the republic of Pana-
