Last nights glamour still dazzles the
eyes of the Inauguration crowd With
Pennsylvania avenue blaze of green
and white, with every building of any
pretensions sending forth a food of
illumination. Washington was veri-
table city Of light" 1t was more; it
was a babel of sound, of hustle, of ex-
element Hotels, theaters, railroad
stations and all other places of public
resort overlooked with humanity, all
intent on having Il good time. Inter
est in the occasion seemed especially
marked among the foreigners of the
diplomatic corps and their families
For the nonce they lost their allen
characteristics and shared with the
Americans the Inauguration spirit,
The carnival feeling was in the air,
and some of the scenes on the crowd
ed avenues suggested New Orleans or
Coney Island at its best. But under
meath the clamor of greetings to in
coming visitors, the music of the
bands. the stir and jostle in the groups
surrounding well known figures, there
was to be detected at times an under
tone of sadness Sorrow intruded its
visage in unexpected places in the per
sons of outgoing legislators and Off
cials who will be forced by the adver-
stiles of politics to give up their posi-
lions today. Some have already gone
home. but the majority of them will
remain until the end of the Inaugural
ton festivities

ers, officials. and military ars in
expectant attitude today pending the
conference scheduled at New York
between District Manager c.. A.
Robinson, of the Aetna Standard
mills of the American Sheet and Tin
Plate company and the officials of the
United States Steel corporation.
The outcome of the New York
meeting it Is believed here will be the
operation of the plant as non-union
or it's permanent suspension. In the
former event it is feared trouble will
result as the union men, members of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, declare they
are struggling for the life of the
organization against the steel cor
poration. In view of the fact that
800 men, comprising the Seventh in
fantry, left today, it is believed the
company intends to dismantle the
works. About 400 troops are still on
duty and will remain for several days.

NO "SANTA CLAUS" MAIL
VIII Go to the Dead Letter Office
Hereafter

Santa Claus has been refused official
recognition By the federal government.
Scores of children who have written

organizations and spiiilanthropis will

tine in Topeka.
Instead of going into the hands of
the postmaster. the mute appeals of
the unfortunates, unless addressed in
care OF some person or organization,
will be sent on to Washington. stacked
in heaps in the dead letter office and.
If the little writers can be found the
appeals will be returned to them.
There is no getting away from the
cruel order. and should Postmaster
Rodgers or any other official who han
dies mail disobey the general order is
sued from the office of the postmaster
general at Washington they will be Ii
able to dismissal.
The stern federal law now says that
the appealing epistles to Santa Claus
come under the head of "unmailable
matter and not coming within the
classifications there is only one re-
course, and that is to send the COM
munications to the dead letter office.
unless as aforementioned they are ad-
dressed in care of some person in par
tdcular.
In Topeka as in every other city the
children of the poor have yearly sent
in many of these letters. and many OF
their childish wants were supplied and
their hearts made glad at Christmas
tide.
Until the order was promulgated
Postmaster Rodgers has always turned
these letters over to people who called
for them, and in that way much good
has been done by persons charitably in
clined.
Like all government documents the
order deprfving the children of many
joys was issued without any reason be-
ing given except that it come under the

cherished privileges and the sudden
dawning on children that perhaps after
all Santa Claus is afflicted with wan
derlust and does not board regularly

feet on government red tape and when
an official order goess-we1l, l. goes,
and that's all there is to it.

Fined.

Elijah Steele, co1ored, arrived at the
court of Topeka today via the police court
charged with breaking windows in the
Wise grocery store just across the river.
He explained that he was throwing rocks
at a white guy and missed him. He con-
fessed that he had broken windows there
before and said he was throwing at the
same white guy from the same position.
Elijah was found guilty of malicious
destruction of property and fined $ and

there are tears in Elijah's history. He

Porto Cortez, Honduras, Dec. S.-Mar-
tial law in Honduras has been pro-
claimed and a state of expectancy ex-
lists.
The proclamation Of martial law in
Honduras is the result probably of a
suspicion at the capital that General
Manuel Bonilla, will take advantage of
the situation in Nicaragua to invade
Honduras with rebel band and regain
the presidency from which he was de-
posed in 1907 by President Davila with
the aid of President Zelaya Of Near
aqua.
Bonilla is suspected of intriguing with
Guatemala and Salvador with the pur-
pose of bringing about revolution in
Honduras, overthrowing the Davila
government and then forming a union
between Honduras. Guatemala and Sal
vador for Ian attack on President
Zelaya's government in Nicaragua.
