REPORT STATES WINES
WILL BE TABOOED BY
WILSON ADMINISTRATION

New York, March 10.-The New York
Evening Post to-day printed the follow
ing from Washington:
Social Washington, particularly the
diplomatic part Of it, is buzzing with
excitement over thes rumor that Pres-
dent and Mrs. Wilson have decided that
during this administration no wine or
other intoxicants shall be served on the
White House table or at social functions.
Those especially who treasure arid MEM
cries of the Hayes administration were
upset by the rumors.
1t was said to-day upon good authority
that the subject had not yet been decid-
ed. Every President since Hayes has
been beset with urgent appeals to ban
ish intoXicants from the White House,
none has needed them.
This and other matters affecting the
purely social activities at the White
House Will receive attention within a
few days. Although Mr.. Wilson is said
not TO be himself a strict abstainer, there
is an impression that he favors a very
temperate, if not absolutely dry" re-
gime in his official residence during the
next four years.

II was about the middle Of the last
century that the custom began to prevail
at Berlin that foreign Chefs de mission"
should have their own homes. Car
Nicholas 1 was one OF the first sover-
eigns who complied with this rule by
acquiring the Palace No. 7 Inter den
Linden. which he had considerably en-
larged. The primary cause Of his ready
compliance may be found in the fact
that he was the son-in-law Of King
Frederick William III. and having be-
come real estate owner in the Prus-
sian capital. the local authorities made
haste to offer the Russian sovereign the
honorary citizenship of Berlin.

had found nothing out Of the way. Her
payments to the police often amounted
to $1,000 month. Her total payments
amounted to about 100000, and she is
the men to whom these payments were

cape the penitentfary otherwise.

''The state coach was passing St
James Palace when five women, by
signal, burst through the
Suardsmen and policemen and dashed
toward the coach. As they ran they
