the President Representative Burton OF
Delaware. Senator Alice said there was no
truth in printed story that he had asked
the President to appoint John Edward Al
dicks of Delaware as foreign ambassador
| to get him out of the political situation III
that state. He had never heard OF any
such idea, he said, until he saw 1t in the
newspapers. and Mr.. Addicss had not
spoken to him about 1t or any one In De-
half of Mr. Addicks.
Senator Alice did not venture an opinion
as to what Mr.. Addicks would think of

ambition if it Is ever possible to do SO.

Tokens Of Spring.
Gentle spring manifested itself in several
ways in the White House grounds today.
Several crocuses shot their heads above the
beds in which they were planted and open
ed their yellow faces to the bright sun
shine. Visitors pointed to them in passing
through and welcomed these official har-
bingers of spring. Red-breasted ROBINS
hoped gleefully over the freshly raked
grass in the lawns and pulled earthWormS
out of their hiding places. The two OLD
crows that have kept all other species OF
their kind out of the grounds for years SAT
on their perches and cawed, causing the

A Relic That is Gone.
The huge terrestrial globe that has re-
yolved in it's stand in the executive ofnces
for more than twenty years has had 10
give way to something more modern. ne"
and up-to-date globe was Installed In the
offices today and the old one was put out
side in the general waiting room, to be
for
old globe has been the friend of many Pres
idents and has often been consulted. Dur
ing the Spanish war President Mckinney
used it frequently. Captain Loefher, the
doorkeeper of Presidents for thirty years,
remembers it in the Arthur administration

Ute Braves Are Displeased.
Five Ute Indians travelled all the way to
Washington from their Uintah reservation
in Utah to have the President confirm the
fact that their reservation is to be divided
up and opened to settlement. They would
not take the word of their agent, would MT
believe Indian Commissioner Leupp and
wouldn't accept the word of single soul
until the great white father" made them
a little speech in his offices and told them
that Congress had passed law opening
the reservation to settlement. They ac-
cepted the word of the President, but their
faces were doggedly sullen when they went
AWAY Most of the Utes were opposed to
the opening of the reservation, especially
what are known as the White River Ctes.
They could not believe that their lands
were to be taken away from them by Con-
gress or anybody, and that is why they
would not believe even Mr.. Leupp. In his
speech the President told them that they
would have tc settle down and make good
neighbors to the white people who would
go to the reservation, and that the money
derived from the sale of the lands would
be set aside for their use. He said that
they would get allotments of lands for
themselves. all they would have need for.
and that they would live happily and pleas
antly if they would attend to their own af-
fairs and try to become good citizens. Their
Interpreter tcld them what the President
said.
