Magistrate Thought Otherwise.

NEW YORK. December 23.-When a

on the street as ''dearie" or sweet

It is expected that Congress will
be asked to grant permission for
the use of the pension building for
the inaugural ball. A request will
be made also to the national legisla-

four years ago, SO far as the quartering
of troops in the halls Of the buildings was
concerned. Although Congress granted
the use Of the pension building at that
time for the inaugural ball. it was vigor-
ously asserted by many members of the
House that this was to be 1.-The last time"
But men in a position to know de-
clared today that in view of the fact
that no great convention hall, suitable
for such ball, has been erected in
Washington during the four years just
passed, it will be the decision of Con-
gress again to allow the use of the
pension building. The fact that the
Indian bureau Of the Interior Depart
ment has been moved into the pension
building and occupies much of the
space on the first floor. which was
given over to the festivities at the time
Of the ball, has made the problem Of
lending the building even more difficult
than it was before.
