BALL FOR MISS
ROOSEVELT
Presidents Daughter Makes Her De-
but Monday Night She is
Seventeen.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-There is an
air Of hustle, excitement, of waiting
and Of preparation about the White
House today. Casual visitors to the
capital and Washingtonians whose
business brings them to the vicinity
of the executive mansion see wagon
after wagon drive to the side en-
trance, discharge its contents and
drive away as rapidly as the leisure
1y, habits Of Washington drivers will
permit. Within the walls, as a peep
through the windows discloses, there
is hurrying and scurrying Of servants,
who are adding touch here and
there to the decorations which tell
In terms of greenery and drapery
that tonight the daughter Of the pres
ident, Miss Ethel Carow Roosevelt,
Will make her formal first appearance
In society.
Tonight will be the night of nights
to- which younger Washington has
been looking forward While invita-
lions to the ball have not, Of course,
been scattered broadcast, the affair
will not be at all exclusive" In some
senses of that much used word. Sew
eral hundreds of cards have been
sent out, reaching in their fight
members of the diplomatic, the army,
the, navy, the official. the social and
all of the other numerous sets into
which Washington society is divided.
The great east room of the White
House, in which the dancing will take
place to strains of music discoursed
by the Marine band, will be thronged
with the young people who have the
entrse to the White House and their
happy mammas and papas.
a. The Debutante.
The center of tonight's festivities
WIN Of course be the debutante. She
10 young to be the observed Of all
observers" at large society func-
tion. being only. few months past
her seventeenth birthday. 1t is COM
monty believed here that 1t was not
the original intention Of Mrs.. Roose-
velt to bring out 90 soon her only
daughter. The desire to give Miss
Ethel Q season In the White House
before her fathers term expired 10
the reason for tonight's ball.
OF course Miss Roosevelt Is by no
means q stranger. to the social world.
For the last two years she has been
present at many Of the state recep-
lions in the White House, and she
was conspicuous as one Of the attrac-
tive young girls at the wedding Of
her older half sister, Mrs. Allies
Longworth. Yet the contrast between
Miss Ethel and Mrs. Longworth II
most striking even to the cursory
observer. The former is modest and
retiring to the verge of bashfulness,
Of the simplest tastes and enjoying
keenly the most innocent pastimes-
really old fashioned girl in the good
sense. Like all young women, though,
who are to experience the first de-
lights and conquests Of their initial
season, she has anticipated with
pleasureable excitement tonight's
event at the White House.

Judge Hays Speaks.

Judge Hays address in part was
as follows: He began his address
by discussing the unfair primary as
he called it and claimed that the pri-
mary was put on and the dates fixed
by Judge Benton. He saidsthat Judge
Benton had taken advantage of him
by making appointments at Winches-
ter and Nicholasville to speak at
these places on the only court days
in these places before the primary.
He said that Judge Benton had re-
fused to divide the time with him and
that he had to speak in the morning
or onthe corners or where ever he
could get crowd.

Senator owens Complaint.

Washington, Dec. %. = Senator
Owen of Oklahoma, who is one q
several thousand defendants In suits
brought by the government TO- clear
up titles to Indian lands in that state,
is urging President Roosevelt to have
these cases settled at the earliest
possible moment by directing AT
torney-General Bonaparte to take the
cases directly to the United States
supreme court If possible. Governor
Haskell and many other prominent
men In Oklahoma are defendants In
these suits for which the government
has been preparing for two years.
Senator Owen says that the slow
dragging Of the cases, of which there
are $4,000, is damaging to business,
and development generally.

Salary Increase.

He then took up the salary increase
proposition and discussed it at
length. With reference to that part
of Judge Benton's final appeal where
he said that Mr.. Hays candidacy
was being pushed by John Garner
and II. P. Thompson, Mr.. Hays said
that part of the appeal was unau-
thorized and unfair and that it was
a sort of peanut politics that can
fool no one; but portrayed the mental
political makeup of Judge Benton.
That every man in the district had
the right to choose between the two
they should vote for.
Judge Hays also charged that a
number of Judge Benton's support
ers were among the strongest Repub-
leans in the county and some Of the
now Republicans, who were former
Democrats, had held every Office from
Congressman down that was the
gift of the Democrats of Clark coun-
ty.
Judge Hays said that he had no
complaint to make whatever against
them if they choose to support Judge
Benton. Light Horse Harry Lee
said of Washington in his funeral
Grafton, ''He Was First in Peace,
First in War, First In the Hearts of
His Countrymen." Judge Benton says
in his final appeal for himself that
he is first In war because he and the
best Sheriff he ever saw and Chief
of Police who was. willing to lay down
his life In the discharge of public
duty, defied mob that threatened
to lynch Sam Hisle, a negro. But
my information is that this mob was
never formed and was never In VIM

Judge Benton Speaks.

Judge Benton's address in part was
as follows: .,,e

lived In Winchester for twenty five
years and have spent most of that
time in the court house pleading the
causes of other people and today for
the first time | intend to plead my
own cause.
81 intend to talk to the people of
this county abont some things that
do not concern Mr.. Hays and Of
which he knows nothing. After hav-
ing answered through the press all
other reasons he has given why
should not be nominated, he in the
closing days Of the campaign pre-
sents a new reason' and that is that
| will not divide time with him and
that he must play the street fakir by

chester as far as any of her citizens
know. That Judge Benton says he is
first in peace, becauseit came to him
as Judge of this Judicial District to
preside and try Certain litigations,, in
his court; that he had tried these lit
Iigations and his judgment has been
affirmed; that he was first in the
hearts of his country men because his
bill to increase his salary was lost
in the Legislature aad according to
his writing is dead or abandoned by
him, or because John E.. Garner and
II. p. Thompson, two respected citi-
zens of this city, are supporting me in
