Reception That Opens

friends.

MIA street, Just west of Van Ness ave-
nue., in most artistic quarters The
design Of the Interior decorations was
done by Mrs. Morrill, and carried out
with striking effect in Mission oak In
the style of the art nouveau with inlay
! of glazed white. The lights are ar
ranged behind colored glass in the
frieze with pleasing result The tables
and chairs are done in the same gen
eral style. leaving no part of the ar
rangement that does not harmonic
with the odd scheme. On the left are
the fountains opposite the counter
Other tables are placed in the gallery
in the rear. and there is broad stair
way leading directly to the White
House, from which house the premises
are leased. 1t is in the center of the

of monologues.
The popularity of the new Sugarie

denced by the fact that In the after
noon Mrs. Morrill, and her friends en-
tertained fully 500 guests, and an equal
number were present in theevening.

tables were Mrs Ynez Shorb White.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
CHICAGO. Nov. William Jen-
nings Bryan remained in Chicago long
enough today TO again express his APP
probation Of President Roosevelt
Mr. Roosevelts determination to
enforce the law against the Standard
OIL Company is very cOmmendable.
said Bryan Il might almost say il is
bully I have never failed TO give
Mr.. Roosevelt credit for the good
things he has done. More than any
other man he mas educated Republicans
I'D TO the Democratic standard. Mr..
Roosevelt is not as radical as the
Democratic party. but the good things
he has done in attacking the trusts
have been founded on the policies we
have been contending for these many
years.
I am deeply interested in this
STANDARD Oil case. While l do not
know what evidence the Government
has 7 hope the law can be enforced
this time-the criminal as well as the
civil law. Very little can be accom-
plished by imposing fines on great
corporations for violation OF the laws.
In the case OF the Standard Oil Com
pany. for instance, il would be pos
sible for the corporation TO more than
make up the fine from the people In
less time than 1t takes 10 pronounce
the sentence.
Imprisonment should be insisted If
the trusts managers are found guilty.
Democrats have all along cOntended
that the criminal manager of trust
should be sent 10 prison, just like any
other criminal. This can be done I'M

law enforced hope Mr.. Roosevelt

Bryan sees nothing but a stlver-lined
cloud in the political heavens these
days. Democracy's star is moving rap
idly toward the zenith, he thinks, and
should be directly overhead early in
November. 1908. He declared the re-
cent election had been a most heart
ening one.
The whole trend Of the voting was
Democratic" said Bryan. IF the
Democratic feeling spreads from now
until 1905. as it has spread in the last
two years. the party viii have more
than an even chance in the next ma
tional campaign
Bryan was on his way from Bloom
ington. Ind. where he lectured before
the Indiana State University, TO his
home in Lincoln
Who viii be the Democratic stand
ard bearer in 1857" was asked.
Bryan smiled and replied, That's a
long way ahead-too far ahead TO dis
cuss now"
Would Mr.. Roosevelt he the strong
est candidate the Republicans could
name2"
Not necessarily. But Mr.. Roosevelt
probably viii not be the candidate. He
has said he would not be- and I take it
he means ii. In any event the argument
against third term still holds as it
always has"

Make Her HIS Wife

.HERKIMER, N. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
jury in the trial of Chester Gillette,
charged with the murder of Grace
Brown, was completed today. District
Attorney Ward. in opening the case of
the State, said that a woman whose
name he refused to divulge would tell
the jury that she heard Grace Browns
cries and saw Gillette beat her until
she was insensible. Ward declared
that Gillette had been made desperate
when Miss Brown threatened to ex-
pose him unless he kept his promise to
marry her. and was willing to do any
thing, even to commit murder"

CHICAGO POLICE COURTS MAY
BE KEPT OPEN ALL NIGHT
Innovation Would Remove One of the
Strongest Incentives for PATROL
men Not Making Arrests

CHICAGO, Nov. 17-If the plans of
Chicago's new municipal Judges ma
terialize, the city probably will have
magistrates sitting in every police dis
trict in the city at every hour of the
day or night. This innovation would
remove one of the strongest incentives
for policemen to avoid making arrests.
Under the present system, If police
man arrests a man at night he must re-
main in the police station until the
case is disposed of.
With night sessions OF the Police
Court the prisoner will be arraigned
Immediately. and If he secures con-
tinuance 1t will be to another night
court This will give the patrolman
ample opportunity to sleep and will re-
move the incentive to liberate guilty
persons. Chief of Police Collins ap-
peared at the meeting of the Justices
today and spoke in favor of the night
courts in every quarter Of the city.

WHITES DENIAL IS.
MADE PUBLIC

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov, rTs-Count
Wittes has published letter in which
he gives a denial to the accusations
brought against him during the prose-
cution OF the Workmen's Union and
members OF. the Douma- The press,
however, disproves this declaration
and declares that Count White should
make declarations before a Tribunal
and not IN the press. It Is added that
he should be forced to- disprove the
charge that he fomented Fevolu ton.
Count Witte declares to friends that
he has no ambition to return to power
and that he is soon going to leave
Russia again. HIS return to Russia
shows that he does not fear the threats
of the Reactionaries- In spite of the
statement of the St Petersburg press
that Count Wftte has been nominated

this appointment has been made
