first Of the regular state receptions

Harding as the honor guests-un-

dinner. The Secretary of State and
Mrs. Hughes will. Of course. be
hosts.
And then there's the ball for the
benefit Of the Children's Hospital
tomorrow night. The President and
Mrs. Harding have made no rash
promises, but they are conservers
of tradition and 1t has become ira
ditional for the Chief Executive and
the First Lady to attend this ball
whenever possible. Even President
Wilson used to go until the war and
his subsequent illness made such ap-.
pearances impossible: and President
Taft has danced at the Children's
Hospital ball more than once.
SO 1t is quite on the cards that

DIPLOMATIC appointments g

New Year gifts were popular at
the White House this year.
During the last week President
Harding has announced several
nominations and still more are In
the air.
Chief in importance and inter-
est to Washington is the nomina-
ton Of the Undersecretary OF
State, Henry p. Fletcher, to be am
bassador to Belgium. Mr.. Fletcher
will succeed Brand Whitlock, who
has served at the Belgian capital
since early in the Wilson admin
istration.
Prior to his appointment as I'm
dersecretary Of State, Mr.. Fletcher
was ambassador of the United
States to Mexico. and previously
had served in various capacities
for his Government in diplomatic
posts. He is a native Of Chambers
burg. Pa. and during the Spanish
American war served with dis
tinction in the famous Roosevelt
Rough Riders.
Mr.. Fletcher is one Of the init
mate personal friends Of the Pres
ident. and is frequently his COM
panion on the golf links.
Washington is delighted at the
appointment, but sorry to bid fare
well to the Fletchers. Both the
Undersecretary and Mrs. Fletcher
are extremely popular in the Capt.
tai and their departure for their
new post will be deeply regretted.
Mrs. Fletcher is charming. She
was. before her marriage in 1917,
Miss Beatrice Bend, Of New York.
As Miss Bend she accompanied
Dorothy Whitney, now Mrs. Will
lard Straight, to China, and was
with her there for q number of
years.
When Mr.. Fletcher arrives in
Brussels he will find as counselor
Of the embassy there q Philadel-
phian who was formerly his su.
perior officer - Craig Wharton

geant in Roosevelt's Rough Riders
In the company which Fletcher
adorned as a buck private. The two
men entered the diplomatic service
in the same year-1902-Mr. wads-
worth as third secretary at London,
and Mr.. Fletcher as second secre-
tary at Havana.
Still another Pennsylvania, Mr..
Fletcher is from Philadelphia, is
slated for an important diplomatic
post-the counselorship Of the en-
bassy at Madrid. He is willing

rived in Washington last week for

ment. During the last four years
Mr.. Spencer has been on duty in
japan and China. His previous ex-
perience. dating from his entry into
the diplomatic service twelve years
ago, covered Venezuela, Panama,
Honduras. Russia and Germany.
TT is rumored that John w. Gar
rett, at present secretary general
Of the arms conference. Is being
groomed to succeed Mr.. Fletcher as
Undersecretary of State. The APP
pointment would be an extremely
popular one in Washington. The

HIS MIND FIRMLY MADE UP

The last time a Jury trial was de-
mnnded In city court at Jacksonville
a special venire was Issued by the
mayor under net Of the legislature,
and the court took care that every
member should be man who could be
depended on to vote according to the
evidence--as well nj least as the court
could judge. the Indianapolis News re-
ports. The prosecutor, james L. Bot.
torn, threw some light on the reason.
Recently, he snld, jury was being I'm.
paneled to try liquor case and the,
talesmen were being Intercepted. One
local merchant had been practically ac-
cepted when the prosecutor asked
whether he had any objections to find
Ing man guilty under the prohibition
laws. "YOu could not present evidence
that would convince me OF his guilt"
was the answer. II should vote for
ncqulttal II l knew he was guilty"
The prospective juror was permitted
TO stand aside. He seemed to have
found sure way to avoid being
drawn for jury service.
