PRIVATE ENTERTAINMENTS AT
THE CAPITAL WHICH ECLIPSE
THOSE OF ROYALTY.

Leadership in Washington society
hinges largely upon the genius with
which the role of dinner host can be
played, and the opportunities for
gaining mastery in that role are
greater here than elsewhere in Amer
lea, because of the vast number of
foreign representative accredited
here, each allowed a snug sum for
entertainment, says a Washington
letter to the Detroit Free Press.
Washington hosts vie with one an
other for the honor of giving the
most novel as well as lavish repasts,
many of which represent in them
selves a greater sum than the salary
earned by a senator in whole year
One of the most lavish dinner
hosts of the present multi-million-
ARE set has been Mr. Westinghouse,
the air-brake king" At one of his
banquets, attended by the most ex-
allied members of officialdom, the
dinner cloth was was Of purple vel
Vet all of the napkins were of Irish
point lace, and the shades of the
golden candelabra were artificial or
chids.
Following one of these magnificent
fepasts at their mansion the West
nghouses held a cotillion at which
all of the women were favored with
Paris hats and the men with diamond
scarf pins and silver handled UNI
brelIas.

FOR CASTING ILLEGAL VOTES
WELL KNOWN CITIZENS OF EFF.
BINGHAM COUNTY INDICTED.
Failure to Pay Dog Tax Has Unex-
pected Results. Trials Will
Be Hard Fought.

GUYTON, Ga.-Because they fail.
ed to pay all taxes required by law
before participating in an election
| four residents of bingham county
have been indicted for illegal voting
in the August primary. The indict-
ments were found because of alleged
illegal voting, the defendants having
participated in the August primary
without paying their dog tax.
The finding of the indictments has
created a great deal of interest in
the county. The movement looking
to The Indictment of such we'll known
men as have been proceeded against
seems to have originated in the
grand jury room, as no one is known
who appeared before that body to
find such indictments. Those indict-
ed are G. w. Griner, H w. Orvin,
L. ]. T1inely and George w. Hale, all
of Guyton.
Although the indictments were
found in October the arrests have
been made only within the past two
weeks. Sheriff Jaudon states that
the men indicted are all responsible
citizens and there was no real cause
for haste in making the arrests. He
simply notified them of the grand
iury's action and had them arrange
TO give bonds for their appearance.
The grand jury held that failure
to pay any part of state taxes, in
Guiding even that assessed on dogs,
constituted a violation of the state
laws and consequently disqualified
the deilnquents as voters. The leg
islature last summer repealed the
dog tax statute, but the repeal was
not brought about until after taxes
for the year had been assessed and
become payable. These cases will
cor 7titute a test of the constitution
atty of the tax provision of the pri
mary election law A number of at
torneys, including some from Savan
nah, will appear in the trials.
