Stefsnsscn Believed to Be Lost.

Vilhjalmur Steransson, Arctic ex-
plorer and discoverer of the white Es-
ouimaux, who was aboard the steam
ship Karluk when that vessel was last
sighted off Flaxman Island on Aug. ID,
possibly is lost, as is the vessel, with
all of her people.
Nothing has been seen or heard OF
the karluk since that date, despite the
fact that extensive search has been
made for her. Whalers say there is lit
tie hope of her ever being discovered,
as she is known to have encountered
the heavy weather which prevailed off
the Alaskan coast early in the month
of October.
This is the opinion of members OF
the Canadian Arctic exploration party
at Collision Point, according to a dis
patch received from Fairbanks.
Stefansson left Victoria last sum-
mer with an expedition outfltted by the
Canadian government to make explor-
ations and scientific research along
the northern coast of the American
continent.

WILSON SMASHES
ANOTHER CUSTOM.
Announces There VIII b. No
New Years Reception
TO TIKE A VACATION TRIF
Owing to overstran Of Work and
Need OF Fest President Wilson VIII
Take Vacation.

President Wilson gave society In
Washington the greatest shock 1t Las
received since he was inausurated.
1t was officially announced that
there would be no New Years relep'
ton at the White House this win,er.
Instead the president will take ten
day vacation.
Thus another precedent and hlstorl'
cal custom has been shattered.
Whether there will be New Years re-
ceptions in other years of the Wilson
administration is a problem, but the
friends of the President and Mrs. Will
son believe there will be no recep ion
in 1915 or any other time during the
Wilson occupancy of the executive
mansion.
The Official announcement, which
stirred society to its depths, follows:
The usual New Years reception
will not be held on jan l, 1914. Tne
departure from custom on this occasion
is due to the fact that the president
will not be in Washing on at that time.
Owing to the long session of congress
the president has had no Vacatlon
since his Inauguration. AS the ap-
preaching session of congress Will Dc
the long session, the only opportunity
for the president to secure rest VIII
be during the usual holiday recess or
congress"
No announcement was Forthcoming
as to where the president intended TO
spend his vacation.
The White House New Years re-
ception is a centurylong historic 1nsu'
tuition in Washington. besides belng
one of the milestones in the capitars
social season. 1t has been the custom
for the president to receive congress
men, army and navy officers, the d.
pomatic corps and all official Wash
ington according to rank and tner
shake hands with citizens. More than
5000 have shaken hands with the
president on such occasions. The re-
cept:on is always followed by rounds
of official calls.
The reception always has been re-
garded as a severe tax upont the VI
tality of the president, and more than
once the receptions have been closed
before the entire line of hand-shakers
had passed into the White House por'
tails.
Capital society got its first jolt from
President Wilson when he canceie
the inaugural ball. There came anoth-
er when it was learned that many OF
the leaders would not be invited 10
the wedding of Miss Jessie Wilson, and
q third when the annual diplomatic
reception was called off, but the pres
ent announcement capped the climax.
1t is known that Mr.. Wilson is op'
posed to the physical ordeal of shak'
ing hands with thousands of persons
Some thought it likely that If the New
Years reception were not entirely
abolished in the future, it might posi-
bly be limited to official circles, al
though no definite indications along
that line have been given.

HEIKE., ILL, MAY APPEAL
TO TAFT FOR PARDON
Family Keeps News That He Must Serve
Sentence for Sugar Frauds from
Aged Former Secretary.

The news Of the decision OF the United
Heike. former secretary of the American
Sugar Refining Company, must serve a
prison term was received with consterna-
ton at his home. in Jersey City. yester-
day. Mr. Heike has been seriously i'll for
some months suffering a bad relapse
after the death OF his daughter, in May.
1872.
The court held that Heike must serve
his eight months Imprisonment and pay
his 5000 fine. His conviction was the
outcome Of the series of proceedings
growing out Of the sugar weighing
frauds in which the company was re-
quired to pay TO the government more
than 100000. The government main
tanned that IIeike. as secretary and
treasurer could not possibly have been
ignorant Of the frauds
None of the members Of the family
dared TO disclose the news TO him. fear
ing it might have a fatal effect. The only
possibility LEFT to keep the aged man out
of Jail appeared TO 1e a petition for par
con TO the President. but no decision was
reached last night on the step to he
taken.
Mr.. Heikc is suffering from heart
disease. and for weeks his family has
been expecting fatal attack Of the
Illness. Should the news OF the ruling OF
the Supreme Court have no dangerous ef-
feet upon him. member OF his family
said last night. there is doubt rs to
whether he would ever consent to pc
tition for a pardon. Mr.. Heike had al
ways relied upon the idea that what he
did for the American Sugar Refining
Company was simply in carrying out his
Instructions. and that none Of his acts
had violated the law.
Henry \. Wise. United States Attor-
ney. who prosecuted Nj. Heke. said last
night he would not oppose in any way an
appeal to the President TO pardon the
aged man.
II have always sympathizcd with Mr.
Heikc" Mr. Wise said. II have known
he was simply an employe and-a tool OF
the late Henry .. lIavemeyer. by whom
he was completely dominated. and | am
certain that Mr.. Havemeyer would never
have permitted any one Of his employees
