The Hardings received last week
several children of former Presi-
dents. 1t was not at all prearrang-
ed; 1t just happened. and was quite
peculiar. Did I say they received
them last week? 1t was all the

Assistant Secretary Iof the Navy,

late President James A. Garheld,

day Scott Hayes, son Of the late
President Rutherford B. Hayes and
a resident of Fremont, Ohio, was
received by the President. The first

1t was a beautiful party, every
body who was anybody being
asked and few invitations being re-
fused. The Diplomatic Corps and
the official world was there almost
intact and lots OF other interesting
Seople. The Pan American Union
building is, of course, as every one
knows, the loveliest in Washing
ton, and makes the most perfect
setting imaginable for such a party.
Then Friday the moon was full and
made the wondroIs Aztec gardens
even more gorgeous. They were a
lovely background for the women
in their colorful gowns and spark
ling Jewels strolling about with
their swains. The Venezuelan Min
lister gave a dinner before the re-
ception. The same evening Mrs.
Thomas F. walsh entertained at
a moonlight dance on the roof of
her home. where a dancing floor
was laid for the occasion. The
guests went from the reception to
Mrs. walsh's. She did not give A

every Saturday for some weeks now,

did take a party down to the Dover

BLAST AT SEA IS
 STILL A MYSTERY
Three Coast Guards From Dif- ferent Points Report Seeing
 Bright Flash

New York, February 2.-The bril- liant flash ar sea, followed by a deep rumbling- sound reported to have been seen and heard early today by coast guards off the coast of Atlantic City remained tonight a mystery. Although the theory has been advanced that it may have been merely flash of light ming and thunder naval radio officials here sent wireless messages broadcast for possible confirmation of the coast guards report that tho noice might have been due to ain explosion in some ship off the coast. No answer to these messages have been received at a late hour tonight.
 Three guards, one from the south brigantine station, another from the Atlantic City station, and third from the Little Beach station, patrolled the beach several miles from each other reported seeing the flash. The guard at Little Beach did not hear the rum bling sound reported by the other two
 Norris Smith, South Brigantine guard, declared he heard the rum bling sound reported by the other two. He also said he heard the sound sew eral seconds after he saw the flash, leading him to believe that the origin of the disturbance was several miles off the coast.
 'I am inclined to connect it with the blowing up of steamer or warship," he said.
 Naval officials here said they under stood coast guard cutter had been sent in the general direction which the supposed explosion occurred but that no report of it's investigation had been received here tonight.

 You have got the same troubie uere, he added. with 1v cabinet officers each trying to get everything for himself, regardless of the common welfare. The President ought to stop it.
 Mir. Dawes said mistakes were made.
 ''But I am glad' he continued, that there is a desire in some quarters to make a permanent and honorable record of what our men did There Lave been complaints that our surplus ili France was sold. It would havv kept 40,O00 men tf ere trying to guard it while we peddled it in small lots. The men were brought home, and the best bargain of the war was in the sale of that stuff to France.
 "Now, here is how we sold it. Mem bers of our commission, including Judge Parker, sat down at a table with the French. We laid our cards down. l told our friends that some of us hao suggested different prices, that this olro Parker was a hard-boiled egg and was standng out for $450,00o0O0. said 1 thought $4oO. .oo0o00 was fair and we traded"
 MT Dawes agreed to remain over TOT another session tomorrow, Chairman Johnson announcing that his examina- ton would require about three hours.

Fort Lauderdale. Fla, February 2.- Making a lame start on her cruise up the Florida coast, President-elect Hard ings houseboat Victoria anchored near Fort LauderdaIe tonight, full half day behind schedule.
 Only 10 miles out of Miami, where the rorthward journey began this morning, the narrow Indian river channel and was held fast for more than six hours.
 She finally was pulled off late in the afternoon by a yacht sent to her aid from Miami and during the remaining way very slowly.
 The President-elect was not on board the Victoria when she grounded, having niotored the 8 miles to Fort Lauderdaie and played game of golf here during the forenoon while he waited for the houseboat tc come up. =
 His secretary. George B. Christian Jr., went ashore from the vessel and tele- phcned word of her predicament both to Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Later Mir. Harding went downstream and boarded the Victoria before sine was released
 The schedule of the vacation party for tomorrow is uncertain, but with good luck they hope to reach Palm Beach late n ske afternoon for game of golf.
 The Victoria came through the day s experiences without injury, but she must proceed cautiously through several miles of crooked channel north of Fort Lau- derdale. She draws , feet 9 inches of water and is one of the largest vessels ever to sail the Indian river
