Apartments Elaborately Decorated.

The state apartments were elaborately
decorated with flowers, a reversion to
the custom of the Mckinley and pre-
vious administrations. With the re-
moval of The heavily upholstered fur
nishings of the early days Of White
House history and the installing of the
modern furnishings after the re-
modelling of the White House during
the Roosevelt administration, the old
time decorations which transformed the
state apartments en- levee night went
out. A vase of flowers on either end
of the mantels sufficed. Last night the
mantels were banked with ferns and
blooms, as were also the consols in
the east room, and In the green room
the white marble comfortable had a
huge basket filled with white roses
and larkspur. The state dining room
was equally resplendent with ferns and
flowers, giving the house a gala ap-
pearance. The Marine Band in its
gorgeous full dress uniform, occupied
it's usual place in the north entrance
hall and played q brilliant program
throughout the evening.
AS at the last White House reception.
given in compliment to the judiciary
about month ago. there were no
diplomats among the guests last night
The chief of staff of the army, and a
few officers of the army and navy, in
cluding DIR. Cary T. Gravson and the
other White House aids, in full dress
uniform, relieved the monotony of
the conventional evening dress worn
by the majority of the guests.

CONGRESS MEMBERS
RECEPTION GUESTS
President and Mrs. Wilson
Hosts to Brilliant Company
at White House.
LARGEST PARTY OF WINTER

The President and Mrs. Wilson were
hosts last night at one of the largest
receptions of the winter, entertaining
members of the congressional circle as
their special guests The reception was
marked by several innovations, the first
changes the incumbents of the White
House have undertaken in the conduct
of state hospitalities, they having here
tofore been governed by the procedure
taolished by their predecessors.
For many years a group of specially
honcred guests have been invited TO
watch the White House reception from
a position in the blue room designated
as behind the line" Last night, for the
White House goers, this distinction was
done away with, and henceforth there
will be no privileged circle at Whlte
House functions. Lines were down
everywhere, the small but not inoffen-
sive ropes that have divided one apart
ment from another, one set or guests
from another, were nowhere in evidence
at last nights reception. and the cour-
teous attaches of the Executive Mansion
who have guarded the portals admitting
to certain vantage points those entitled
to such recognition and excluding others
were last night detailed to duty else
where. Once they had paid their re-
spects to the President and Mrs. Wilson
and those receiving with them in the
historic blue room line the guests were
free to come and go or to linger where
they would. The change was an agree
able one and ELECTED many favorable
comments throughout the evening.
The center of the blue room floor,
given over for years past on such a
night to representatives of the diplo-
matte corps. members of the Supreme
Court circle personal friends of the
White House family or others of spe-
cial distinction, was last night occu-
pied by towering palms and ferns
They were arranged to form back
ground for the receiving party and
also a green wall. graceful and beau
tiful, but so impenetrable that there
was no opportunity to watch the pass
ing pageant of the reception on the
other side.

Buglers Announce Presidential Part.

BuglerS Announce PRESIDENTIAL Farty
The President and Mrs. Wilson, fol-
lowed by the Vice President and Mrs.
Marshall and the members of the cab
met circle who were to receive with
them, descended the stairs from the
upper floor promptly at o'clock, the
buglers of the MAJ inc Band announc-
ing their approach ind a group of army
and navy officers aiding the way. Ow-
ing to the barricade of greens in the
blue room the party was obliged to
make it's entrance by way of the red
room, thus lengthening the line of
march along the corridor.
Many guests had already assembled,
the congressional reception being pro-
verbally an early party, and they
passed at once into the blue room,
where the President and Mrs. Wilson
occupied the places selected during the
last administration by President and
Mrs Taft. AS they were received the
guests passed into the red room and
thence into. the corridor or into the
state dining room, where a buffet sup
per was served.
The Vice President and the members
of the cabinet, usually ensconced behind
the blue room line, were among those
in the red room, where they remained
until with the arrival of additional
guests, it became too crowded, when
they betook themselves elsewhere. The
Speaker the President pro TEN. of the
Senate and many members of both
houses, accompanied by the women of
their families: Mr.. Justice and Mrs.
Van Devanter. Mr.. Justice and Mrs.
Brandeis and Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus Day
passed into the red room early in the
reception.

NEGRO ON TRIAL TO
HAVE STRONG GUARD
Burgess Will Be Taken to Fairfax
Where He VIII BE Tried For
Attempted Assault.

william Burgess. the negro who Is
charged with attempted criminal as
saults upon Mrs. Mildred Miller and
Miss Mary Davis, both of Fairfax
county, will be taken to Fairfax this
morning to be placed on trial during
the term of the circuit court, which
convenes there today. Due to the
strong feeling caused by the crime
Burgess will probably be escorted 10
the scene of the trial by Il strong mil
itary guard
The attempted assaults occurred
about three weeks ago and the COM
munity was so thoroughly aroused
that a detachment OF officers from the
training school at Fort Myer was
pressed into service to rush the negro
to the train. Burgess was hurried TO
Alexandra, where the sheriff of Fair
fax county and two deputies boarded
the train with him and brought him
to Richmond He was turned over to
Sheriff webb w. Sydnor late that
night and locked up in the Henrico
county iail The authorities OF FAIR
fax county are said to have wrung a
full confession from Burgess.
The grand jury that will consider
the case has been drawn. but follow
ing the usual custom, the clerk OF
the court has refused to furnish the
list for publication. As soon as an
indictment is returned against Bur
CESS. he will be placed on trial. and,
as there are but few witnesses. the
trial will consume very little time.
Another case Of the same nature TO
come up before the grand jury is
that Of John Adams, colored. charged
with criminal assault upon his thir-
teen year old step daughter, Sue
I Bowles. Adams is alleged to have
committed the crime on August %
at Clifton
Governor Stuart is determined that
there shall he no more lynching dur
ing his administration and both men
will be afforded the best OF protec
ton during their trials.

QUARANTINE NOT
LIFTED ENTIRELY
Only Persons Living In Winchester

Winchester. Va. Sept. 1s--By some
ineXplioa bic mistake an impression
has gotten abroad that Winchester
and Frederick county health boards
have lifted the quarantine against
Rockingham. Warren, Page and other
counties where infantile paralysis is
or has been prevalent.
These boards OF health have done
nothing of the kind, A strict quar-
antine is now and viii be maintain
ed in Winchester and Frederick
county against practically the entire
valley counties, and anyone violating
its provisions will be dealt with ac-
cording to law
All that the Winchester and Fred
erick county boards did was TO an
nounce that after tomorrow night at
midnight the quarantine would be
lifted only in so far as IL affected
persons living in Frederick county
coming into Winchester or Winches-
ter people going into the county.
The boards order in no way af-
fected the quarantine against the
other counties and will remain in full
force just as long as the disease ex-
lists in those counties.
The county health board today an
nounced that with midnight tomorrow
night it would he lawful for the peo-
pie of Frederick county to mfngle to-
xether again or come to Winchester,
except that 1t was deemed best to
extend the quarantine against the
home of Mr.. Thornton Goode for an
other week. This was where a sus-
