WH|7EHOUSE BUD
TO MAKE DEBUT
GRAND BALL TO INTRODUCE
MISS ETHEL ROOSEVELT INTO
SOCIETY FIXED FOR DECEM-
BER &c.

Washington, Nov. 7.-Plans for
the debut of Miss Ethel Roosevelt
are not completed but it Is certain
that the ball to introduce her into
society scheduled for the 26th of De-
cember is to be more of an affair for
function.
The date will be just the time most
of the officials are out Of town, De-
cember 26 and it is certain that a
large ball will be given by her moth
er in a few weeks TO introduce her
daughter into official society when
she will have become somewhat used
to the giddy whirl of fashion.
So the first ball in point Of fact.
will differ very little from the en-
'tertainment given to her Young
friends by Miss Roosevelt during the
las few years. Only the boys and
girls will be present.
All the young girls who will be
present at this affair are intimate
At the White House and have been
frequent guests of the young daugh-
ter of the house. During the last
winter Mrs. Roosevelt allowed Ethel
to give luncheon party to her
young friends once a week. At these
times the young girl planned the
menu and decorated the table with
her own hands.
Miss Roosevelt has already set the
style Of evening dress in the theater
tc, the younger set and many Of their
dresses are being made decollette.
Details of the social arrangements
for the White House have not been
completed as yet, but Capt. r. G.
Butt, the chief aide of the president.
expects to give an outline Of them
within two weeks.

New York, Nov. Charles F..

1T is silly to accuse Tammany
Hall of knitting the Democratic tick
e., taking all the circumstances into
considerations" said Mr.. Murph.
MANY persons who are making the
charge know better, but hope to
make political capital at Tammany' s
expense. There is plenty Of proof
that Tammany was absolutely loyal.
The fact that the Democratic can
didate on the county ticket received
far less than the normal Democratic
majority is proof enough in itself
that Tammany was net in any way
responsible for the Bryan slump
The county ticket suffered because OF
Bryan's weakness.
Before the convention we knew
Bryan could not carry New York
Bryan went behind here just because
the people were against him.
Il notice that Ohio. Indiana and
Minnesota elected Democratic COVER
nors. but Bryan lost them, and
have not heard any charges oil

Erie county, where Mr.. Mack is a
leader. I notice that the county went
fer Chanler by good majority, but
Bryan could not carry 1t. have
not heard anybody charge Mach

There was no treachery. The
whole result was due only to Bry-
ans weakness and the strength ol
Taft, which pulled Hughes through.

ALASKAN SAYS HE
 IS BEST SPENDER

Tacoma, Oct. 2S-SwiftWater Bill Gates, of Klondike fame, Walter Scott, the spender of Death Valley, and all the little sons of the rich turned out by the effetc east, ap- pear on an equality with 17 cents worth of dog meat in the opinion of William V. Campbell just now of this city, but erstwhilc of Alaska "Thcy are only selling platcrs, penny squcezcrs, a bunch of Russell Stages, when it comes to spending money" is the way Campbell puts it when any one tries to make comparison be- tween the Campbell record and simi- lar records of the others.
 Today Campbell is possessed of just SIS and he is making preparations to depart for the FOrtymile country just so soon as he can do so. Thirty days ago Campbell landed in Tacoma, his S150,000, and at once set about scpcra- ting himself from his wealth. He did not spend it all in this city, but he arrived here again yeaterday cheer fully jingling the eighteen in his clothes.
 "I'm clean," he remarked to a friend, But know where I can get dirty again and l am sure going Co quit bathing for while.
 But, say, do you really believe these other nuts ever spent a cent? Honest, those fellows want change back from a nowsboy, and their money gets mouldy because they carry it in their clothes so long"
 Campbell says that he neither knows nor cares where his money went, but those who have it are wei come as he had his 'littlc old time" | and is satisfied.

ALASKA CENTRAL ID
 BE PROGRAMMED

It is asserted by persons in position to be informed concerning the pro- Jects of tho powers behind the fore- closure of the Alaska Central mort gage, which was begun in the district court at Valdez last week, that the Foreclosure sale will be immediately followed by reorganization and re- newal of construction.
 The foreclosure suit was instituted by the Canadian banks which took over the bonds of the Sovereign Bank CT Canada. On good authority it is said that these banks will bid in the property and reorganize the company with the intention of building to the Matanuska coal fields as rapidly as possible, unless somebody else bids the amount of the bonds or ne arly that much, and takes the matter O fl their hands.
 John E. Ballaine says he has sym dlcate ready to take the railroad at the foreclosure sale and push con- struetion. A. C. Frost, president of the. railroad, claims also to have q syndicate ready to buy. In this case there may be some competition for the acquisition of the property unless the opposing bidders pool their in- tcrests.
 It is now admitted by everybody concerned that foreclosure and re- organization offer the only means available for promoting the enterprise. The complaint in foreclosure filed by Frank Graves of Spokane, attorney for the bondholders, sets up the same averments of waste and deterioration of property as were stated in John E. Ballaine's application for receiver ship last May. On this eX parte show ing Judge Reid at Fairbanks appointed receiver. Upon motion of Mr. Graves immediately after the foreclosure suit was filed, Judge Reid appointed two receivers for the property. No opposition was offered to this by Judge Iaight, attorney for the rail road and for A. c. Frost, beyond for mai objection to certain portions of the complaint for foreclosure, intend ed to save the claim of the Panama Railway Construction Company to most of the chattel property used in construction of the railroad.
 Scvetal months must elapsc before the foreclosure sale can be reached in due course of law.

TOWNS TAX LEVY
 |S TWENTY MILLS

Twenty mills is the rate of tax levy for 1908 as fixed by the town council at it's meeting last night. There was no objection to the rate decided upon, all the councilmcn voting in favor, and without argument
 The total assessment this year is S526, ,03i, and when the taxes are paid at the rate fixed the city treasury will be swcllcd to the extent of S1O,- 52O,6S. This amount is practically the equivalent of the total tax re- ccipts of last year.
 The only other business to como before the council was that relating to an overflow from the Red Light district, said overflow having cstab- lishcd itself in houses on lower Broad way. The subject came up on pc tition signed by number of the resi- dents of the locality, and asking re- lief from nHCCmly conditions said to exist. The petition was referred to the roiiCc committee, that body be- ing given power to act immediately.
 There Was also discussed the 0b- StruCtiOn tO traffic caused by using the sidewalks and streets for ware houses, and the members of the po- lice committee were instructed to not only take official cognizancc of these conditions and tO order the removal of the obstruCtions, but to inform the town marshal to take similar action. In this CDnnC Ction Councilman Whit Icy expressed his opinions as to the duties of member of the police com mittce. and by unanimous motion he was appointed to fill the vacancy on the committee created by the absence of Councilman Poot.

MULE GETS MINER
 INTO DIFFICULTY

Seattle, Oct. 27--Frank Manley, an Alaskan arrested here on q charge of perjury and of larceny alleged to have been committed in Texas, de- clares that his. arrest is the result of an attempt to blackmail that failed of it's purpose, and that now his enemies have trumped up this charge to get him out of the way. Manley says that he owns valuable properties in Alaska and that he was threatened with prosecution on some alleged charge unless be would consent to surrender the properties in question.
 7 According to the instructions re- ceived here Manley is accused of swearing falsely to the ownership of mule, which he alleged to have been run over and killed by train, and of his having received $15 for the animal. It is alleged that the mulo described in the petition for reimbursement presented to the railroad claim agent Is alive, and that 1t never was the property of Manlcy.

NEAR HANGMEN
 COME ID VALDEZ

Five members of the Lake creek hanglng-bee party of which J. E. kcnncy is the victim, arrived on the Portland from the westward for the purpose of standing trial on charge of assault with intent to kill. The men are also defendants in damage suit brought by Kenney to recover S25, 1000. Those to arrive are Frank Dunn, Frank Churchill, Charles Har- per, A. R. Young and Sam Wagner.
 The Lake creek hanging bee, as the case is known, took place September l3 1907. Kenney had homesteaded some land, and the allegations are that the defendants named in the foregoing, and three others, Ed. Cone, D. McManus and T. D. E1lixson, were desirous of running Kenney out of the country. Accordingly, Cone de- clared that he had been robbed of gold dust valued at $500, and Ken ney was accuset of the theft. The defendants organized themselves into vigilance committee and personally charged Kenney with the crime.
 Kenncy made strenous denial of any wrongful act, and after being threat cned, to no purpose, was placed upon q box and q rope was noosed around his neck. This, too, had no purpose, other than to emphasize Kenncy's de- nials, and some of the party kicked the box from under the trussed up man. It so happened that the rope was new and it stretched sufficiently to permit of Kenney's toes touching tho ground, thus preventing his neck being broken.
 Kcnney asserts that some of the men were in favor of making a sec ond attempt, and while he was slow ly strangling to death the question was debated, finally being decided in kenncy's favor, and he was cut down. KcnnCy made his way to civilization, made his complaints and the arrest of the five now in Valdez followed. The others have never been arrested. Cone is said Co be in the KuskokWim coun- try, and McManus and ElliXson are believed to be in back of Cook Inlet.
