BUSY WEEK EXPECTED
WHITE HOUSE FORCE GETTING
THE MANSION READY.

The White House force is looking for a
busy week, putting the mansion in shane
Tor the family of the President Workmen
have been engaged all summer in painting
and repairing various portions of the build
ing, inside and out, but there remain some
things that must be attended to Just before
the family returns
The floor of the east room is being oiled
and the furniture Of all the parlors is being
put in place. 1t has been stored away dur
ing the summer. The east room has been
closed several days while the work has
been going on.
In the three parlors no great amount of
work has been done except in the green
room, where a complete covering of green
has been placed on the walls The silk
covering put there when the room was re-
habilitated two years ago faded SO that 1t
was not presentable, and 1t was decided to
put on fresh silk of the same color
The walls and ceilings in the basement
and in the east terrace have been painted
and decorated. and the kitchen has received
a thorough overhauling. Many of the
White House servants have not been out of
the city, and have been able to do great
deal OF work in making things look better
Outside the building the grounds are in
neat condition. The leaves of the trees
are turning and then falling, which keeps
employees busy raking them into piles and
having them hauled away.

EXCLUSIVE QUARTERS
PRESIDENTS SON Is INSTALLED
AT HARVARD.
Mrs. Roosevelt Will Remain Until
Theodore, Jr., Settles Down
Staying With Friends.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Mass, September 26.-Mrs
Theodore Roosevelt is at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. George Lee at Chestnut HILL
where she will remain for a few days until
Theodore Roosevelt, jr., is installed at his
new quarters at Harvard University. Mrs
Roosevelt accompanied by her son, arrived
yesterday and at once took a carriage for
Cambridge to inspect the room No. Is,
Claverly Hail. where young Roosevelt is to
room while at college. After a sharp drive
over the road they reached the dormttory
ana spent half an hour inspecting the room
and Jotting down what was necessary to
properly furnish it. They left the building
at O'Clock and again entered the car
rage and We're driven to Chestnut HILL
In Millionaires' Row.
Claverly Hall is the best appointed dorrni-
tory of THE Gold Coast or "Millionaires'
Row." as that part Of Mount Auburn street
where dormitories are located is known.
The Presidents son will occupy suite is,
which consists of a study, bed room and
bath The rooms are finished In Flemish
oak In the study is large mantel and
fireplace. Last year the suite was occu-
pied by Patrick Grant, a son of Judge Rob-
err Grant of Boston. When President
Roosevelt was in college he had to be con-
tented with the accommodations offered by
a boarding house on the corner of Winthrop
and Holyoke streets, where the house Of
the institute of ITO now stands
Young Roosevelt is said to be a studious
youth. AS he passed more than the requi-
site number OF. entrance examinations he is
already credited on the college books with
two and a half courses so that he will
neeG to take only fourteen and a half
courses to get the degree of A. B. and may
complete his college work In three years.
Although in his remarks to the undergrad
yates last spring his father roundly con-
demned luxury and extravaganza among
students and recommended living in the
plainest style. Theodore, jr., will live in the
mos exclusive of the private dormitories
This is not from desire for luxury, but
because most of his preparatory school
friends will live there.
Boy is With Friends.
The little suite is one of the most modest
and smallest in the dormitory. He will
pay but $3.50 rent for the college year
while many other apartments in Claverly
cost over twice as much. Some of the trust
magnates and great capitalists almost ex-
clusively patroniZe this dormitory and will
be companions and chums of the Pres
idents son during his college career
Among the men who will live at Claverly,
who were fellow-students of young Roose-
welt at prep and who are the sons of we'll
known Boston families are Sidney Fish a
c. Burrage. jr., Robert Jordan, the Apple
ton brothers and the Prince brothers.

as a Surprise.

complete surprise was the announce
ment today of the appointment to the va
cancy as first assistant corporation counsel

P. Blair of the law firm of Blair & Thoin.
The selection of Mr.. Blair was announced
by Commissioner West-the new appointee
to fill the place of e. H. Thomas, who was
made corporation counsel to succeed the
late Andrew B. Duval The surprise
caused by announcement of the rendering

Special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y, September 26.-Gen.
Horace Porter. formerly United States am
bassador to France, who, since Saturday,
has been the guest here of Mr. ]. West
Roosevelt. returned to New York city this
morning. Yesterday afternoon Gen. Porter
paid long call on President Roosevelt at
Sycamore Hill. His visit to the President
he said, was purely social one.
'Its splendid thing" Gen Porter said,
when seen at the station, that President
Roosevelt is able to be away from Wash
ington all summer. Gen. Grant whose pri-
vate secretary 1 was, was the first Presi-
dent to inaugurate the custom of the
chief executive being absent from the cap
ital for three months of the year. His sum-
mer home was at Long Branch, and al
though his action caused at first a good
deal OF adverse comment, he stuck to the
wisdom of his courage, and by so doing rem
dered a great service to all the Presidents
who have followed him..
The subject of President Roosevelt's va
cation naturally brought up the peace con-
ference at Portsmouth.
Was a Great Thing.
THE bringing of those ENJOYS together
was grand coup on the Presidents part
Gen. Porter declared. After all. the great
thing is to get the peace commissioners of
the two warning nations into the same ROOM
Once they have entered that room all the
rest is easy. They can't return to their
governments without concluding a peace
treaty of some sort. If they do they are
branded as diplomatic failures and their
careers as statesmen are ruined forever"
What do you think Of the situation in
Morocco over which the French govern
ment is reported to be so concerned?" the
general was asked.
Il think the gravity of the situation he
answered, has been greatly exaggerated" /"
Are you playing hand in the game of
New York city politics this fall general ?"
am not. And am thankful to be able
TO say 1t, the former ambassador to
France replied with emphasis
