WASHINGTON SOCIETY
TAKING A REST

Washington, March 5.-Mrs. Roose-
Welt has returned to the White House.
after a few days visit in New York.
Her sister, Miss Carow, who spent the
winter with her, has gone South to re-
main during Lent. Miss Alice Roose
Welt, who is passing several weeks in
Boston, is just now in Groton, Mass.
where her brothers, Theodore and Ker
nit, are at school.
Although neither large nor formal
entertainments are popular during
Lent, and the seven weeks between
Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday
are generally given over to practicing
the domestic virtues and taking a
much-needed rest from the whirl of
Vanity Fair-the first ten days of the
penitential season has been full of in
cidents for the stay-at-home portion of
society. Every day has been marked
by dinners, luncheons and musicales.
Dinner to Secretary Taft.
The largest dinner of the week was
given by Senator Warren of Wyom-
ing, to more than 100 guests, being
the largest number ever seated at
single dinner party in the social annals
of Washington. This was in honor of
the New Secretary of War, and be-
sides Mr.. Taft, represented all that is
prominent in official and resident So
ciety. The banquet was served in the
large private dining room of the New
Willard, Miss Warren, the Senator's
debutante daughter, receiving the
guests in an adjoining parlor. The
plan, the table being formed in the
shape of hollow square, with the CEN
ter used for a map-like presentation of
the Panama canal completed, through
which United States ships were in
transit. Two models of the Wyoming,
showing her as she was forty years
ago and the present type, which is
now on duty at the isthmus, added to
the appropriateness of the decorative
scheme. The battleship Ohio was also
shown, in honor of the native state of
the War Secretary, who occupied the
place of honor at the right of the
young hostess.

denced by talk recently In which he
said that the resignation OF one Of the
implicated clerks had already been
offered, but had been refused, and that
all parties implicated in the TIsho-

is also Judge Ryan's intention 20 "a
after certain attorneys who, Il is said,
were IN c0llusion with the record
clerks and thereby assisted greatly IN
the selecting and locating OF allot-
ments Of their clients. IN other words,
the department is preparing a blg
dragnet, and everybody implicated
must either clear himself or take his
medicine
Speaking III his usual deliberate
manner, Judge Ryan said 10 regard q
the investigation now going ON In the
territory:
"The department has already re.
ceived a preliminary report on The

sion shows thai the chief clerk Of the

business in the Cherokee Nation ii
known as ''scalpers' These aro pcs-
sons who. generally, are familiar with
the oil lands Of the nation. They hang
around the land once at Tahlequah

these leases, and then start cut to sell

OF course, the profit Of the middle
man Is whatever lie can make Il, and
he never works for nothing. When

never been approved, he goes to the
