VALUE OF MISS RO0SEVELT'S
GIFTS INFLATED IN REPORT

Washington. Feb. Although there
will be nearly 1000 guests at the wedding
OF Miss Alice Roosevelt and Representa-
tive Nicholas Longworth. II is the wish
OF the president and Mrs Roosevelt that
the event be attended with as little pub
lcity as possible. The list Of guests will
not be published officially and there will
be no official list Of wedding presents.
1t was said yesterday that although
it had been reported IN sensational pub
lications that the wedding gifts would
reach a total value ofat least 81, o00. 00O
the actual value would prove to be a
small fraction OF that amount.
1t was said that a reduction in this
estimate should be made proport ionately
TO the reduction which was made in the
first published estimates OF the gifts
brought back from the Philippines by Miss
Roosevelt last fail II was reported that
these gifts amounted TO several hundred
thousand dollars. but the actual value. a.
appraised at the custom house. was less
than $4,000.
II was expected that eight or ten gifts
will be received from distinguished for
eigners. although an effort was made
through the diplomatic service OF the
United States to head of these presents
In some instances. however. the gifts
had been started on their way 10 Wash
inRton before the word was sent out The
valuable tapestry. which is the gift OF the
French president. is a case in point.
There will be no bridesnaids at the
wedding and Miss Roosevelt will have no
attendants.
The task of making up the invitation
list was an extremely trying one, and
il Is safe 10 say that not more than
one tenth OF the whole number OF persons
who believe they are entitled 10 invitations
have been included. Yet the capacity Of
the east room viii be taxed 90 the ut
most. and Il Is doubtful II all OF those
present will be able 20 see the MARRIAGE
ceremony.

any control of the dog. He did have pow
