Brilliant Affair.


Brilliant Affair.
Washington, Jan. 8. President and

brilliant function and was attended by
about $500 persons. The members of
the diplomatic corps, officers of the

of the most amusing figures in the
line was ten-yeal-old boy, with soiled
hands and clothes, who carried a pair

as he wished the little fellow a happy
New Year.
A pretty little girl carried a great
white Teddy bear past the receiving
party and provoked a hearty laugh
from the crowd gathered in the blue
room.

NEW LAWS ARE NOW IN FORCE.
Anti.Pass Provision and Other Legis
lation Now in Effect.


Washington, Jan. 8. - Yesterday
marked the beginning of the life of
several legislative acts Of congress.
important alike to the nation as a
whole and to the citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia. These are the free
school law. the pure food law. the anti
pass section of the interstate COM
merce law, the modification of the nav
igation laws to simplify enrollments
and licenses and law with reference
to the licensing of druggists in the
District of Columbia.
The pure food law contemplates the
barring interstate commerce of foods
that are injurious to health. The free
alcohol bill is intended to assist farm
ers and smaller users of power to
have fuel that in efficiency and cost
shall be cheaper than gasoline or kero-
sene. The anti-pass provision of the
Interstate commerce law forbids COM
mon carriers, directly or indirectly,
giving interstate free tickets or passes
for passengers, except to their EN-
ployes and families, agents of the car
riers and their surgeons, physicians
and attorneys, to persons engaged in
religious and charitable work and to
certain other specified classes.

PURE FOOD LAW is popeEo.
Labels Are Being Printed on Came

Labels Are Being Printed on Canned
Goods in Microscopic Type.
New York, Jan. 6.-That the new
pure food law is proving big joke is
the growing conviction of New York.
There is general impression that the
law, which went into effect on the
first day of 1907. prohibits the selling
of anything but pure food. 1t does
nothing of the kind.
The law provides that whatever is
sold as food or drink must be labeled
as just what it is, but the law fails tt.
dictate what size Of type shall be
used in labels. 1t is also defective in
sections relating to short-weight cans
and jars and short-measure bottles.
In consequence, cans and Jars and
bottles arc of the same old size. and
the parts of labels in which the var;
GUS ingredients are described are
printed in type barely dtstinguishahIc
to the naked eye.

BLOCK SYSTEM IS A FARCE,
HAS NOT ADDED TO SAFETY OF
TRAvEL-FIFTY.TH PER.
SONS DEAD.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Entirely indie
pendent of any whitewashing investi.
cation which the Baltimore & Ohio
may make Of the criminality which
caused the loss of half a hundred hui
man lives few miles out of Washing
ton Sunday night, the interstate COM
merce commission decided to have an
investigation of its own.
Authority for this action on the part
of the commission was found under
the joint resolution Of congress in
structing it to make special inquiry
of the block signal system as operated
by the railroads.
Block System Farce.
The frequency of rear.end collisions
or the telescoping Of one train by an.
other has aroused the members of the
commission, as well as congress and
the entire country, to the belief that
something is radically wrong in the
pretended operation Of the block sys.
tenn, and the commission proposes now
to find out the facts.
Astounding statements made by ex-
perts of the commission indicate that
the people of the United States have
been misled into the impression that
the block systems of this country are
adding greatly to the safety of travel.
On the other hand, the experts say
these systems have had no such effect.
The commissions statistics prove that
a constantly increasing proportion Of
accidents occurs.
Flfty-three Are Dead.
The most conservative estimate of
the dead is fifty-three, with threescore
of injured in the hospitals or at their
homes suffering from wounds and frac-
lures. Several of the most seriously
injured are expected to die and the
death list may yet reach sixty or more.
