White House Scene Of Usual Brilliant
Event In Capital City
Today.

Washington, d. c., Jan. New
Years day at the National Capital was
observed today with all the traditional
brilliancy which time and custom have
decreed shall characterize the official
greetings Of New Year, and another
was added to the long line of recep-
tions at the White House where Pres
ident and Mrs Roosevelt received peo-
pie of the world whatever their race,
creed or station. BY II o'clock when
the reception began the line of peo-
pie stretched along the front of the
State, War and Navy buildings and
gave promise Of one of the largest re-
ceptions in the history of the White
House. Shortly after II o'clock Presi.
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, preceded by
military and naval aides to President
Roosevelt and several White House
aides, all in special full dress descend.
ed the marble stairs leading to the
Blue room, and took their positions to
the right of the door leading from the
Red room. The first to wish them a
Happy New Year were Vice President
and Mrs. Fairbanks. Then followed
the members OF the cabinet and their
wives. All of whom, including the
Vice President and his wife, took po.
sitions in the receiving line below
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt. AS
soon as the President had gathered
around him his official family the doors
were thrown open and the diplomatic
reception followed.
The reception is the one event that
no person of official Importance will
miss unless compelled to do SO. Every
one who is entitled to wear a uniform
appeared in the full insignia of his
rank
Il The members of the cabinet took
precedence not in regard to the length
of time that they have been appointed
but in regard to the time when the
department was established.
The United States Marine Band fur
nished the music for the occasion. All
official callers were received before
the general public. The diplomats OF
the foreign governments, headed by
the Italian ambassador and followed
by the others in order of their appoint
ment to this country were first re-
ceived.
After the diplomats came the chief
Justice and associate justices and then
the Senators and Representatives and
the .exsnlinisters and cx-n1embers OF
the cabinet. Admiral Dewey and Cen
eral Chaffee then headed the repre-
sentatives of the navy and army. Then
came the officials of the several gov
ernment departments, veterans OF wars
and others who by reason of position
or service are entitled to designated
place. AT l o'clock the reception OF
citizens took place.

mess. In 1892 he came to Las Vegas,
for climatic reasons, his death
having been greatly impaired by an at.
tack of la grippe. In July, 1898, he
went to Albuquerque, and, his health
being much improved, entered into
the service of the Santa Fe Railway
Company as clerk, and moved his fam.
lily, three daughters and two sons, to
Albuquerque, his wife having died in
1892. He remained in the employ Of
the railroad company until he was ap.
pointed Register of the Roswell Land
Office in 1897 by President Mckinley.
His Appointment.
His record was such an exemplary one
and the recommendation for his re
appointment were so strong that the
late President Mckinley reappointed
HIN four years ago. The same state
Of affairs existed this month, and
brought about his third appointment,
to the position by President Roose
velt. 1t is but fair to say that Mr.. LIE
land had the united support of the
people of his district and of the Re
publican party organization. There
was no candidate against him and this
is high compliment as it was patent
that no candidate could secure the
support of the people of the land dis
trict and of the Republican party or
ganization, if Mr.. Leland wanted re
appointment. In addition to being a
very competent official in every re
spect, Mr.. Leland is a good and val
liable citizen identified with his town
county and the Territory, and always
at work for their advancement and
progress.

Spheres Within Spheres.

There is a new theory of the
earth's interior. 1t is believed by
Mr.. Beresford Ingram, a physic-
10 of England, that the
earth embraces three concentrio
spheres, or three spheres within
spheres. The solid nucleus he
supposes to be between 5000 and
1000 miles in diameter and this
to be surrounded by a liquid sub
stratum, outside of which is the
crust, variously estimated at 20
to 1000 miles in thickness. More
than two centuries ago a similar
theory, including the slow rota-
ton of the inner solid sphere on
q different axis from that Of the
entire globe, was held by DR.. Ed
mund HALEY to account for the
changes in the earth's magnet
ism. The axis Of the nucleus was
thought originally to have been
that of the entire globe. The
earth's internal heat, it is now
pointed out, may be accounted
for by the friction of the differ.
emily rotating bodies.

Most Degraded Of Men.

The last man on the Santa
Barbara islands was deported in
1858. Our knowledge of these
extinct Indians off the California
coast is derived from the &C.
counts of the early voyagers, from
the missionaries who subse.
quently settled on the islands.
and from the remains in their
refuse heaps and the skulls and
skeletons which have from time
to time been collected. Some of
the islands probably at one time
had a population approaching
1000 each, but in 1923 only about
900 were left on Santa Barbara
and the neighboring ~islets; and
by 1876 all had disappeared. AL.
though they manufactured a GER
tain humber of domestic utensils:
