LOST INVITATIONS
CLEAR 4 MYSTERY
White House Regrets Fail
ure of MiSsiyeS to Arrive.

Trouble has arisen between the White
House and Samuel A. Langum. post
master OF the House OF Representatives,
over the fact that many of the invita-
tiOns 10 members of the House TO the
White House tea at which Miss Helen
Taft MADE her debut. we're not delivered
in time
Invitations to Senator'S. which went to
the Senate pOst-Office. seemed 10 have
reached their destination with dispatch,
but the White House has learned that a
large majority of Representatives did not
get their invitations until il was too late.
\ brief statement, explaining what
might have looked like an error OF onis-
sion To members who did not get in
vitations was issued by the White House
last night II expressed regret upon the
part Of the President and Mrs. Taft for
this failure Of the mails
On December ] Mrs. Taft and the Presi~
dent issued an invitation 10 the coming
out party of Miss Helen Taft to the mem
bers of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives and their families Realizing
that many members of the House we're
not then in Washington. the invitations
were sent TO the post-oiilce OF the House
Of Representatives and the post-oftice of
the Senate, with The expectation that
they would be forwarded to the present
address Of the person TO whom they were
sent.
1t appears that this was done in the
case Of the Senator's, bat through some
mischance was not done with the LSsem-
bers of the House of Representatives.
The President and Mrs. Taft regretted
this action very much.

Catch 'em-alive" Jack Alternately. who
was appointed United States marshal for
the western district of Oklahoma by
Mr.. Roosevelt in MS second administra-
ton.
Jack Alternately has the distinction oil
having given the only moving picture
show ever exhibited in the White House
The pictures depicted Jack in the act OF
catching live wolves with his bare hands.
He was assisted by a former train robber
who had been convicted. but had re-
formed and gone into the moving picture
business. This. of course, occurred while
the colonel was in the White House. II
was a little exhibition given for the
amusement of himself and his friends.
Charges had recently been made against
Abernathy. and he had come on to Wash
ington to answer them.
He called at the Attorney Generals Of
fee this morning for that purpose. but
found 1t much more difficult of access
than was the White House in the good
old days. Mr.. Abernathy, as matter
of fact, cooled his heels in Mr.. Wicker
sham's reception room for about five
hours.

SHOE MEN PROTEST.
Ask Interstate Commission to Probe
Express Company Rate.

Unless the Adams Express Company
voluntarily reinstates an express rate of
u cents per 100 pounds withdrawn on
March l last, between New York City
and Brockton and other Massachusetts,
cities. the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion announced yesterday it would begin
an investigation of the subject. and inti-
mates that it would compel the express
company to reinstate the rate.
The announcement of the commission
was made in connection with a cam
plant brought by shoe companies of
Brockton and other Massachusetts cities.
1t was alleged in the complaint that the
Adams Express Company has absorbed
the New York and Boston Dispatch Ex-
press Company. which had maintained
for many years 75-cent per hundred
rail and water rate between New York
City and Massachusetts points.
In March last the Adams company
withdrew this rate and substituted 81
per hundred rate except between New
York and Boston, where the 75-eent rate
still applies.

JACK ABERNATHY RESIGNS
Oklahoma Marshal, Picturesque Appointee of Roose-

Late in the afternoon Mr.. Alternately S

later. I'm going over to New York to

however. that he would die before he
would let the colonel use his influence in
his behalf.
The colonel's the boy all over the
West" said he. He's done a-plenty for
me"
The Department OF Justice has not
disclosed the character of the charges
filed against MIR. Abernathy. but it is
understood that they do not refer di-
rectly TO the administration of his
Office
The last occasion on which Alternately
appeared before the Eastern public was
when he came on to meet the colonel
on his return from the African hunt and
the European tour "Cateh-'em-alive"
Jack had sent his two little boys on in
advance by horseback from Oklahoma,
and their progress was heralded in the
daily press from day to day.

LOSS TN POPULATION
DUE TO PROGRESSIVES

Des Moines. Iowa. Dec. 7.-
Senator 'Lafe" Youngs news
paper in Des Moines tonight
carries an editorial, in which the
loss of Iowa's poulation is charg-
ed 10 the progressive legislation
of the past ten years. 1t says:
Something like ten years ago
a wave of populism began 10
sweep over the State. The doc
trine began 10 be exploited that
the functions Of government were
being perverted to wrongful ends.
Men who knew a mighty sight
better began TO stimulate the
ancient prejudice which teaches
that they who have much should
be looked upon with suspicion,
while those that have much less
must be given the benefit of the
doubt
This state of mind began TO
find expression in new legisla-
tive enactments. the chief aim of
which was to antagonize property
rights, rather than 10 safeguard
those who through economy and
industry had managed TO acquire
it,"
