Inc autumn flowers In the prOpa-
eating gardens are being cared for in
such manner that a perfect riot of
blossoms will mark the trail of the Wis
itors, though, of course, nothing like as
elaborate as the decorations which OBJ
tanned there in the old days of the
White House when the conservatory
on the west side was destroyed when the
renovation took place in the Roose-
welt administration, and which were
special feature of the former visit of
the king to Washington. Then the red
corridor, where the state dining table
was laid, was a veritable mass of flow
ers with scarcely enough room to set a
plata scheme which today would not
be thought in good taste
Autumn will be as prolific of we'd
dings as of autumn blossoms. and al
ready engagements are being announced
and wedding dates set which will occupy
society until the unusually large crop
of debutantes come on. A fashion in
weddings being carried out in many cit
les is to have the costumes of the
brides attendants correspond in color
with the tints of autumn flowers to be
used, and the suggestion is a particu-
larry pleasing one.
The rest that the Secretary of State
and Mrs Lansing are now enjoying is
a justly earned one and an excellent
preparation for the strenuous season
before them, for scarcely will they re-
turn to the capital at the end of the
month before they will begin to ex-
change social amenities with the host
of new diplomats recently accredited
to Washington and most of whom have
arrived There will be the exchange of
calls and of dinner parties and per-
feet restoration of visiting between dip
lomats and official and resident socie-
ty which has not been fully reinstated
since the armistice was signed. There
will, of course, still crop up bitter feel
ings in the corps, and such episodes as
once existed when the wife of an Aus
trian ambassador refused to be taken
:. to dinner in the White House on the
/ arm of the Mexican ambassador be
cause of the MaXimillian incident, will
again be witnessed, but State Depart
nent diplomacy will obviate much OF
that by a careful perusal OF recent war
history. All the capitals of the world
will present an equally delicate hand
ling of diplomats, and the life OF social
secretaries in the various departments
of state will be no more comfortable
than those within our own doors.
The absence of the President and Mrs
Wilson, the Secretary of State and Mrs
Lansing and most of the cabinet mem
bers and their wives. with the going
away of the ambassador of France and
Mime. Jusserand and other diplomats
leaves the week end almost devoid OF
interest for the officials held here by
the stress of business. But the quiet
is only the lull before a perfect storm
of social affairs which will mark the
late autumn and the winter season. Ir
fact, such a gay season at the capita
has not been predicted in many years
aFar-seeing hostesses are already laying
out their plans to reach beyond the
debutante season. and mothers are de-
batting a date for their daughters pres
entation to society which will precede
the elaborate winter program.

FARM HOME is
RAzED BY FIRE
John Wideman Residence One Mile
Out On COaltOwn Road De-
strOyed Today.

Fire originating on the roof OF
the farm residence OF John Wide
man, a mile east OF Tricks hill on
the Coaltown road, destroyed the
house and threatened the other
farm buildings at II today. The
direction of the wind aided in
keeping the flames from. doing
greater damage.
The Moline fire department was
summoned, and it responded with
apparatus, but too late TO save the
main structure. A summer kitchen
escaped destruction as a result Of
efforts OF the Moline men
Mrs. Wideman was alone in the
home when she discovered the
flames on the roof, after hearing
the cracking sound that followed
them IN their course. Her husband
was on an adjoining farm. She
summoned the Moline department
and then sent word to her hus-
band,
Only a few articles were re-
moved from tho house. The strue-
ture had eight reoms. 1t was Gov

YOUTH PASSES
BOGUS CHECK
Harold HaVener, Aged IS, Again
Held by Law, Charged With
Confidence Game.

Harold Havener, aged IS years,
recently in the hands of the law
for buying an automobile with a
bogus check for $500, was last ev-
ening again arrested, this time the
charge against him being for op-
Grating a confidence game.
1t is alleged that young Havener
passed a check for SO on the
Junge meat market, Moline The
check was passed on E. S. Johnson,
an employe in the market. John
son today testified that when the
check was taken to the Merchants
& Mechanics bank, the teller claim
ed that the signature was not
known to the bank. The check was
made out to Carl Johnson and sign
ed by John Ravens. The case was
continued until tomorrow morn
ing.
Havener plead not guilty this
morning. He told the police that
a man had given him the check in
payment of some money owing him.
"Of course l wouldn't be able to
recognize him again." he said, land
1 don't know his name"
Unable to furnish the necessary
$500 bail, the youth spent the night
and today at the city jail The first
time the lad was arrested he was
let off easy and given another
chance. The offense of which he
is now charged is punishable with
a prison sentence.

LAW NOT valid
SAYS SOCIALIST
Case Of Ketchum, Accused of ViO-
lating Ordinance. VIII Be
Appealed to City Court

James KetchuTn, arrested last
Wednesday and alleged to have
passed hand bills on the streets of
Moline in direct violation of the
city ordinance. stated yesterday
afternoon that through his attor-
ney, Frank H. Hall of Rockford.
brought to Moline by the state So
cia1ist organization, he would ap-
peal his case to the Moline city
court. If the case is lost in this
court, it was intimated that the
organization will aid in bringing OF
the hearing--to the supreme court,
if necessary.
Ketchum pleaded not guilty yes
terday to the charge preferred by
officer Walline, who arrested
Ketchum, when he saw him pass
bills advertising a Socialist lee
ture. Ralph Moore and William
Smith testified that Ketchum
handed them one Of the bills while
they were walking along the street.
Witnesses were cross examined
by Attorney Hall. each answering
that there was no disorder in the
passing of the bills and that none
was thrown on the streets. The
argument of the defense will be to
test the validity of the ordinance
and to obtain it's Interpretation.
The hearing probably will be
held in Judge G. o. Dietz' court
next week.
