manifested her displeasure at the
fact that many of the capitals bellies
use cigarettes, not only in the pri-
vacy of their boudoirs, but at semi
public functions.
Miss Taft, it is reported, will "cut"
these smokers whenever possible and,
as she is assured of the social leader
ship of the younger set of the capital,
she Is in a position to make her dis
approval pronounced and effective.
The president and Mrs. Taft for
mally presented their daughter to So

ceptions ever seen in the whitehouse.

members of the cabinet and their
wives, scores of senator's and repre-
sentatives and members of the diplo-
matte corps were received in the big
east room by President and Mrs. Taft

NAGEl AVERSE TO BENCH
Senator Sutherland, Utah, and Judge
Pollock. Kansas, are Mentioned.
Justice White to Hague.

Washington.-Secr of Com
Werce and Labor Nagel, it was learn
ed here, is averse to going on the
bench of the supreme court at this
time, inasmuch as he has plans ahead
with regard to his department and is
so deeply interested in his work that
to abandon it at this time, even to
go on the supreme bench, would not
be desirable to him.
Among the other candidates men
toned were Senator Sutherland Of
Utah and Judge Pollock of Kansas.
The president will take up the
work of definitely selecting his judi
cial nominees as soon as work on the
message has been disposed of. 1t
was announced at the white house
that no selections for the commerce
court had yet been made.
There is rumor in judicial circles
that the president will shortly name
Supreme Court Justice White as sue
cessor to the late Chief Justice Fuller
as the representative of the United
States Of the Hague tribunal.

American Ambassador Wilson Speaks
for Diplomatic Corps in Offering
Congratulations to Executive.

Mexico City.-At Inauguration GER
emonies attending the eighth success
sion of President Diaz, held here,
the American ambassador, Henry
Lane Wilson, acting as dean or the
diplomatic corps, presented the con-
gratulations of the representatives
from the various foreign powers, in
Guiding the United States.
Lacking the brilliant features Of
former years, but none the less digni-
fed and imposing, the ceremony took
place in the temporary quarters Of
the chamber Of deputies.
In his message, President Diaz
placed Mexico "among the new ma
tons of assured stability which no
influence could dissolve" and de-
clared that relations between Mexico
and the United States and other for
eign nations had never been more
cordial than now.

CUT RATES TO THE EAST
Grand Trunk, Erie and Waba sh
Roads Will Enforce New Sched-
ule on January l.

Chicago greatest, and what
promises to be the most bitterly
fought railroad fare battle of recent
history will be begun at the moment
the new year is rushed in.
On Jan. l three eastern trunk
lines, the Grand Trunk, the Erie and
the Wabash, will slash passenger
rates from Chicago to New York and
Boston The cut will not be a slight
one; it will go deep. For instance
according to the notice served on
thirteen big western railroad systems
by the insurgent lines, the frst-class
fare from Chicago to New York will
be cut IS, and the second-class fare
Sc.
The decision to make these big re-
auctions in fares between Chicago
and the two eastern points came at
secret meeting of the representa-
tives of the three insurgent roads in
this city. The formal notice of the
reductions will be filed soon. This
must be done in order that the cuts
may become effective on Jan. |.

Beauty In Kitchen.

Considering how easy It is to look
pretty when engaged in household la
bors, 1t is strange that so few women
attain this result. A properly cut
princess apron in a becoming color Is
not only as pretty a garment as any
woman could wish for, but it throws
a wonderful halo of domestcity and
femninity about her. Yet women will
sacrifice it's possibilities for the XII
mono, which, while a pretty little af.
fair in its place. cannot retain any
prettiness at all after being worn
a while in the kitchen.
A busting cap, too, may be a thing
of beauty, says the Montreal Herald.
Caps that recall Dutch pictures may
be bought, and worn with a pretty
apron, they give a subtle charm to the
plainest woman
The rest of the working costume
should consist Of a short skirt and
shirtwaist. The latter can be low In
the neck and short In the sleeves. and,
worn with fascinating Dutch collar.
may be as becoming as any ball gown.

BUDGET CUT $4,000, 900
President Compliments Department
Heads on Pruning Done, but
Still Calls for Reduction.

Washington.-A cut of $4,000
900 in estimates for the running ex-
penses of the government during the
next fiscal year was reported to Pres
ident Taft as a result of his ulti
matum to the various heads, of de-
partments at the cabinet conference.
The president was greatly graft
fed, but declared there must be a
still deeper cut. So the cabinet meet
ing scheduled was postponed until a
later date to allow the cabinet officers
to make another revision of their
figures.
1t was announced at the white
house that following the completion
of the message the president will
give up a couple of days to receiving
senators and representatives whom
he has been unable to see heretofore.
After that ne will apply himself to
the judicial appointments.
That the president still has an
open mind on the judicial appoint
ments is indicated by the fact that
it was stated at the executive offices
that the president will be glad to re-
ceive any suggestions as to availab Bile
men for the bench. The prospect is
now that the judicial appointments
will not be sent to the senate until
a week after congress convenes.
President McCrea of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad spent half an hour in
conference with President Taft, thus
giving rise to rumors that the presi-
dent contemplates further recon-
mendations as to railway legislation
in his message. On leaving the
whitehouse Mr.. McCrea said his call
was purely personal

TO ANSWER IN PLEA FOR
INJUNCTION.
SAYS WRIGHTS ARE AFRAID
Has Been Promised Immunity From
This Kind of Trouble, He Says,
Before Conserving to Fly in Amer

New York.-The Wright company
caused Claude Grahame-White, tho
English aviator, to be summoned to
appear before United States Circuit
Judge Hand to explain why he should
not be restrained from giving more
aeroplane fight exhibitions in Amer
ice because the crafts he uses in
fringe the flying machine patents
owned by the Wright brothers. Ora
hame-White is preparing to sail for
England on the Mauritania.
"Its a bully country, this United
States" exclaimed Mr.. Grahame-
White.
when they pleaded with me to
come over here the Boston people
assured me the Wrights had prom
ised they would not make trouble.
In fact the Wrights made written
statement in the same vein.
but you cawn't believe anything
you hear in this beastly country.
They have very extraordinary fash
ion of spoofing. l guess this is a
sample of the Wright brothers spool
ing A bully lot of difference it
makes to me. I'm going to get out
of the bloody country unless they ar
rest me before | can get on the ship;
If they do that I'll call on the am
bassador at Washington.
LAS a matter of fact the Wrights
are frightened. I've scared them so
bloody we'll that they are terrified.
I'm their most formidable competitor
and they know it. They want to
drive me out"
The Wrights' move against the
Englishman is the first shot in le-
gal war to be waged against all avn
ators in America not flying Wright
biplane At recent meeting OF the
directors of the Wright company al
most a quarter of million dollars
was set aside as a fund to suppress
the professional flyers who are tour
ing the country with various makes
of machines.
1t is also intended to warn all COM
munities not to do business with
these aviators. The Wright COM
pany proposes to wage a vigorous
war to stop all exhibition business
unless done with his permission.

TO KEEP SILVER BRIGHT
Polish Well Once a Week, Keep v
Drawers Lined With Channels
or Flannel.

All household silver needs careful!
attention. and to keep it in good con-
dition the housewife must sacrifice
considerable of her time. When
teaching an inexperienced maid her
duties In the household the mistress
should specially stipulate that the sill
yer should be cleaned at least once
In each week. and that a list OF all
the pieces should be kept on hook
In the pantry. After the thorough
cleansing of all the pieces they should
be counted and checked off with the
list on the hook.
Under no conditions should any sill
yer be allowed to remain out In the
pantry at night, unless there is a spe-
cial place for 1t. Each housewife usu-
ally has a method of her own for
cleansing the silver. A good polish.
free from all sorts of grit and dirt, Is
the best thing that can be used This
and the polishing done later with a
chamois. Where engraved pieces
are cleaned great care is necessary
to get all the polish from the creases
and crevices, where 1t is most likely
to lodge.
One solution of the problem of TAX
ing care OF silverware when it is not
in use has been effective. A cup
board Is built under the pantry
shelves and fitted with a special lock
and compartments made for the sepa'
rate pieces. A shelf the length OF
the cupboard is placed a little higher
than the center, thus leaving the low
er portion for larger pieces. Both
shelf and bottom are covered with
thick red flannel, and, in order that
dust may not gather, there is sepa-
rate flooring, as it were, under the
flannel. This permits it being taken
out and thoroughly brushed. The up
per shelf is divided into boxlike sec
tons, in which the small pieces fit
easily. 1t requires less than five
minutes to put away everything, and
no longer to take them out in the
morning. Chamois is a good lining
for drawers where silver is kept

MAY ACT AGAINST SHIP TRUST
inadvertently Revealed That Wise
and Grand Jury Have Such
Plans in Mind.

New York.-United States District
Attorney Wise and the federal grand
jury in New York are investigating
the foreign steamship trust with a
view to bringing criminal action.
This revelation was made mad
vertently by Lawson Sanford, secre-
