White House Dances to Continue.

White House Dances to Continue.
When the merits of the Roosevelt
administration are taken stock Of from
a social viewpoint two ideas come for
ward, horses and dancing. No execu-
tive in recent times has given an i'm,
petus to the horse as the present.
No one has ever been so identified
with dancing as Mrs. Roosevelt. At
the dances which have been given
every alternate Friday Mrs. Roosevelt
has appeared on the floor as often as
her daughter. The president has
shown that he can be as strenuous
on the carpet as elsewhere. Dancing
having been established, 1t will no
doubt be continued throughout the
next administration. The president
elect is as light on his feet as girl
of 16 and Mrs. Taft just dotes on
dancing. The Clevelands never gave
a dance and the Harrisons only one.
The new order is entirely satisfac-
tory If 1t becomes part OF White House
tradition.-New York Press.

COLONEL FUCKERS CASE UP
Family Scrap Before the Army Retir-
ina Board.

Chicago, Feb 15.-The meeting of
the army retiring board which began
in this city today will in all likelihood
determine the fate of Colonel William
F. Thicker, whose troubles with his
wife have engaged the attention of
army gossips for long time. Colonel
Tucker occupies a responsible post in
the army that of paymaster general
of the department of the Lakes. He
is at odds with his wife, the daughter
of the late General John A. Logan,
who was the Republican candidate for
vice president in 1884. Friends of
Colonel Tucker declare that Mrs. Lo-
gan is the chief cause of his troubles
and that the case is one of too much
mother-in-law."
Secretary of War Wright has given
permission for Mrs. Tucker to appear
with her attorney before the army re-
tiring board. This unusual action is
expected to create a sensation.
Colonel Tucker, who has been an
invalid for years, IL seeking retire
ment with the rank of colonel and
the retired pay of that rank. Mrs.
Logan and the colonePs wife declare
his conduct has been such that he is
not entitled to honorable retirement
and they are seeking his summary
dismissal from the army. Charges of
misconduct in the Philippines made
against Colonel Tucker two years ago
by his female relatives were not sus-
tanned by the army authorities and
Colonel Tucker retaliated with suit
for divorce In October of last year

AID REQUESTED FOR
HELPLESS CHILDREN
Presidential Message on De-
pendent Little Ones.

Washington, Feb. 15.-President
Roosevelt transmitted today to the
two houses of congress special mes
sage recommending legislation re-
quested by the conference on the care
of dependent children held in Wash
ington Jan. % and 26.
The aim of the friends of the de-
pendent children is the enactment of
legislation providing for their care.
This aim is heartily endorsed by the
president He is thoroughly in favor
of bills pending in the senate and
house Of representatives providing
such care for the dependent children
in the District of Columbia and the
territories, the only sections of the
country for which congress may enact
such laws. These bills will serve as
examples for the rest of the country,
it is hoped.
Before the conference at its meet
ing in the White House on Jan. 25
and subsequently the president ex-
pressed the greatest interest in its
work The conference, which was
composed of well known philan-
thropists and sociologists from all
parts of the United States, assem-
bled in Washington at his invitation
and its sessions were formally opened
by him in a long address.
The president gave fis opinion that
there could be no more important
subject, from the standpoint of the
nation, than the care of "the interests
of those children whom cruel misfor-
tune has handicapped at the very out
set of their lives" He referred to
the orphan, the crippled child, the
child worker and the child temporarily
parted from its parents by circum-
stances.
