WHITES ARE TO WINTER HERE
AMBASSADOR TO FRANCE QUITS
POST; WON'T RETURN.
Keen Regret Expressed in Paris Over
His Departure-Bacon to
Succeed Him.

PARIS. October 6-Henry White the
American amta ssador to France, has OBJ
tanned a leave of absence. and, accom-
panied by Mrs. White, will sail November
3 for the United States, not to return
Ambassador Whites recall, after long
and distinguished career i'm the diplo-
matte service. was rumored here for
months, and was the subject of the keen
est regret. Few foreign representatives
in recent years enjoyed to the same ex-
tent as Mr.. White the confidence of the
French government. and such papers as
the Figaro and Temps went to the I'M
usual length of printing long editorials
which. it is believed. were inspired by
the foreign office expressing the hope
that the reports would turn out to be
incorrect.
Leaves Ahead of Time.
In the meantime Ambassador White en-
tertaned no illusions. In accordance
with diplomatic traditions, he placed his
resignation at the disposal of President
Taft upon the advent of the new admin
istration. and the President accepted it
to take effect January l next. AS no Of
fetal announcement followed either of
Mr. Whites resignation or the prospective
tary of State, who, it is we'll understood
here, will be his successor Ambassador
White was left in rather equivocal
position. and now has decided, in order
to prevent further embarrassment to
himself as well as to Mr.. Bacon, to with
craW sooner than arranged. He will
take 10 official leave of the government
officials and his diplomatic colleagues
before his departure. but probably will
not return to present his letter of re-
call. leaving that to Mr.. Bacon in ac-
"ord with numerous precedents. notably
iii the case OF Ambassador Reid when
he left Paris and. after his nomination
as Vice President. resigned, his letters
of recall being presented by his sue
ceSSOr.
Will Come to Capital
While retaining his legal residence in
Rhode Island. Mr.. White will open
house al Washington. and will spend the
winter there. 1t is understood that Mr..
bacon has arranged to take over the
present amba ssador's residence in Paris.
Socially the Whites will be greatly
missed here. as they entertained extern
sively and were very popular in dipio-
matte and the highest French and Amer
lean society circles.

patches are to be seen as far as the
eye can see. Wheat and oats are look

the enthusiasm been at such q high

As the Mcdonald Bros. of HawIey
were driving around the city last night
with the lines over a spanking pair OF
blacks, attached to new buggy. the
horses SHE'D at trolley car and be-
came frightened. At one terrific jump
the whiffle- tree broke and away the
animals bolted along Front street east
and turning on to 5venth street
headed north. The team ran into a
hitching post with such fore that the
men were thrown out of the vehicle
and the latter was reduced to mere
kindling wood. Relieved of the buggy
and considerable OF the harness the
horses turned east, but were finally
caught by Officer Crossman
In the fall from the buggy, one Of
the men was knocked insensible and
remained so for fifteen minutes, but
after he revived he found himself not
much the worse for his experience. TIL
police say there is too much risk taken
by the drivers of spirited horses, not
accustomed to the hustle Of city
