Mrs. Hanan said that among the So

raided the club were Mrs. Robert Oh

erson, of Baltimore. and Mrs. Harri-
son Bulls.
Cross and his raiders recognized
several women whose presence, IL the
names were mentioned. would shock
the world of society. Cross took the
names of all present. and allowed
Them to depart. They were ordered
to file out, and in passing the con-
stable all gave names. In the ma
jority OF instances fictitious names
were given. Cross had been appoint

enforced, and that gambling did not

here carry large stock of women's
cigarstte cases. AS presents from
men, they are quite common
1t Is not a rare sight to sec the
wife of a foreign diplomat smoking
complacently as she sits on the lawn
OF her home ON pleasant evening.
Some foreign women, prominent here,
have been known to smoke cigars.
Though thse facts put the Washington
situation in a light different from
that in other American cities, the local
clergy fails to find any defense for the
habit.
THE habit of cigarette smoking
among women is to my mind thor
oughly pernicious one from any stand
point" said Canon Austin, of st.
Thomas Episcopal church to-day.
AS TO cigarettes. | personally dislike
them and when a man does smoke.
/ should prefer his using the homely
pipe. In women the habit of cigarette
smoking is to be more strongly con-
demned than In men because of their
higher standing in the social scale
Father Eugene Harmon. of the
Church of the Immaculate Conception,
was equally severe in his criticism OF
the cigarette habit among women. He
said:
The habit is obnoxious all around,
and In women, despite the fact that
the fact that the law, from a gospel
standpoint, Is the same for both sexes.
cigarette smoking is worse than with
men, because of the example they set.
Society demands a different ethical
code for women. for it's own protec-
ton. 1t is worse for q woman to
smoke in public than in her boudoir.
BY this. / do not mean that 1t is not
thoroughly bad habit for them to
practice even in private, but ! simply
wish to show that II Is the bad
example of woman smoking that
makes the habit worse with them

pointed out that the government by
treaty has agreed to dispose of the
land for the Indians and give them the
proceeds There is little doubt that
the Indian lands that McMurray wish
ed to sell will bring a much higher
price than he placed on them, the
geological survey estimating the value
of the mineral products alone In the
territory at 1000. 900.
II liz also believed that Jacob L..
lannon's influence in Washington on
Indian affairs Is broken, Senator
Gore has charged him with Offering
brlbe in connection with the Nc
Murray deal. and although he has EN-
tered a denial, the investigation will
bring out so many details in connec-
ton with the lands in this session,
that 1t Is doubtful II a question: BILE
bit of legislation relative TO Indian
affairs could, be driven through con-
gress With trip-hafurne
Senator Curtis Of Kansas, and Com
gresham Mcclure. OF oklahoma. both
OF whom Gore testified had been nam
ed by Hamon as being interested in
the deals. are with the committee
here. Both have denied on the stand
the story Gore says Hamon told him.
Congressman creager. who says he
was Improperly approached" by
Hamon, is also following the commit
tee, but it Is believed Chairman
Burke will devote the next few days
to learning everything possible from
the Indians themselves.
Examine Chiefs.
When other Indian chiefs are call
ed by the committee further testimony
IL expected along the line Of McCur
tain's story that he was offered
quarter interest in $1.000.000 con-
tract IL he would approve it.
The name OF Vice President Sher-
man will probably not be used again
in connection with the investigation.
Gore. under protest. told the story he
claims Hamon told to him. and in
which he named the President.
Hamon denied that he told Gore that
Sherman was interested. That ends
IL. in the opinion Of attorneys and
congressman here.
Whether or not the committee de-
ecides that Gore was offered a bride
or that any one was using improper
methods to secure Indian lands legis-
lation. IL lis believed certain that from
now on attorneys who have maintain
ed headquarters In the East and
drawn as high as $4,000 a year for
representing the Indians will find this
territory pretty dry picking after this
investigation.

WASHINGTON. u. c., August s.
In this city, where society is tinged
with the foreign habirs of the diplo-
matte set, and where cigarette smok-
ing is so common among society wo-
mon that 1t Is no longer matter of
much comment there Is "a strong feel
ing that the anti-cigarette crusaders
have been unfair in directing their
criticism at one or two individual
women smokers. Among the clergy,
no one could he found to-day to de-
fend or condone the practice. but
there was a general opinion that re-
cent criticism has been unjust in q
personal way.
The practice, ii IVES pointed out,
was not confined tn any especial feat.
but Was quite general among fash
ionable women. As regular feature
of practically every ultra-fRshiona BILE
diner party here, cigarettes are usually
provided for the women. The old
fashioned idea of the women leaving
the men at the table 10 smoke their
cigars has almost entirely disappear
ed, as now the men nave their ciga-
rettes and liquer In one room and
the women have theirs in another.
When the occasion is informal and
the company Ia intimate, 1t is not ex-
traordlnary for the women to smoke
at the table with the men.
A cigarette case as feature OF
the fashionable woman's chatelaine Is
not a sufficient rarity here to attract
attention, At recent amateur thea
trical performance a purse Was stolen
from prominent feminine member
of the younger set The loss was
advertised in the papers, and among
the contents of the purse was men,
toned a jeweied cigarette case. The
name of the owner was given without
any apparent thought Of embarrass-
ment. All the fashionable jewelers.

Colonel Roosevelt was astride a
spirited black horse, and his rough
rider experience stood him in good

touring car swept around the curve.
The automobile was occupied by
Mrs. Frederick Southack. widow OF
millionaire real estate dealer of
New York. AS the machine swung
around the curve it looked for an in

knocked off his horse and thrown
onto the hard macadamized road.
But by quick dig Of the spurs and
by lifting his mount he got out of the
way of the car. which grazed his
horses flank as it sped by.

struck the colonel's horse and thrown
the animal on its launches into the
ditch at the side of the road. The
colonel, however, kept his seat after
being tossed forward to his horses

Sycamore Hill when inquiries were
made concerning the matter. Eyi-
