Horrible Deed of a Salt Lake Barber
Salt Lake, Utah, Dec. 2S.-With the
statement that he had murdered his
wife, Frank Rose, a barber. surren-
dered himself at police headquarters
and asked that he be locked up. He
said that he had killed his wife Christ
mas afternoon and that the body was
still lying in the house where the wo-
man had died, after lingering for two
hours with a pistol bullet in her brain.
An investigation by the police revealed
a de%plorable condition of affairs at the
scene of the murder. Lying on a bed
in a miserably furnished Third South
street shack, the body of Mrs. Rose
was found, clad only in her undergar-
ments, and by her side was the wo-
mans 2 year old son. the baby's
clothes being saturated with its
mothers blood. 1t was at first thought
that the child was dead, but when an

CHILDREN'S DAY AT WHITE
HOUSE.
Five Hundred Enjoy a Good Time at
EXPENSE of R~OoSeveIts-

Expense of Roosevelts.
Washington, Dec. 27.-Five hundred
children, youthful sons I'M daughters
of members of the cabinet. senator's,
representatives, army and navy Off
GERS, members of the diplomatic corps,
assistant secretaries of departments
n Washington newspaper CORES
p~ondents, were the guests between 4
and $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon of Mrs.
Roosevelt at the White House. The
reception began at 4 o'clock, Mrs.
Roosevelt being assisted by ladies' of
the cabinet circle and Mrs. Loeb, Mrs.
Cowles and Miss Hagner.
The White House had been decor
ated beautifully for this Christmas
party. Great palms and Christmas
green adorned the reception hall and
parlors, the green being enlivened
here and there with splashes Of the
flaming red of p~oinsetta blossoms and
American Beauty roses. The scene
was rendered brilliant by hundreds
of electric lights.
The children were formed in line
on the terrace. Thence they marched
up Tie uldlu SldlICdSt anu dCTOSS lu6
reception hall to the entrance of the
green room, where they were received
by their hostess quite as if they were
grownups. Each child was introduced
to Mrs. Roosevelt by Major Charles
McCawley of the marine corps, and
by her was given a cordial greeting.
Each was hen presented with a pro-
gram and a souvenir of the party in
the form Of a badge of silver, bearing
Mrs. Roosevelt's compliments and good
wishes of the season. The little guests
were conducted through the green
room to the east room by officers of
the army, navy n marine corps in
full uniform, and there seated.
The entertainment begun with a mu-
steal program rendered by Roney's
Boys Concert company of Chicago.
This part of the program consumed
nearly an hour, the children being en-
thusiastic in their manifestation OF
commentator.
Just before the first number on the
musical program was rendered, Pres
ident Roosevelt entered the room, TAX
ing an -inconspicuous seat near the
green room entrance. He entered thor
oughly into the spirit of the occasion,
and enjoyed every minute of the enter
tainment. The idea of the party, how
ever, was wholly that of Mrs. Roose-
welt, and she worked out all of the
details. Scores of the children were
afforded an opportunity to greet the
president and to wish him a Happy
New Year"
After the refreshments had been
served the young people returned to
the east room. There the older among
them danced to the music of the
Marine band, while the younger ones
played games in the parlor.
The attention shown the children by
Mrs. Roosevelt and her assistants and
by the numerous attendants were so
delicate and graceful that the joy of
not a single one was married, and all
left the White House praising their
thoughtful and considerate hostess.
