licemen do not like to arrest men
on Christmas night, even when

plead that they have no place to
sleep. So John Cotton, 81, who
says that he used to be a show
man. had to arrest himself last
night.
He walked into the Butler
street station shortly before mid
night and asked to be taken into
custody on a charge of vagrancy.
Finally the policemen consented,
and Cotton was transferred to the
Poplar street station and locked
up for the night. First, however,
he was given hot meal. He said
that he had asked several police
men to arrest him. but thew had
reminded him that it was Christ
mas and had urged him to cheer up.

lists almost in their entirety.

the only Washingtonian- present
was Mrs Frederick Dent Grant,
whose friendship with the New
family dates back q generation,
since Mr.. News father served IN
der General later President -
Grant, and since Mrs. Grant, then
"a bride, went a'visiting at the home
of General and Mrs. New in In
dinapolis when President and Mrs.
Grant were being entertained there
on their return from their trip
around the world.

DEVEL OPMENT IN MATTER
OF GUESTS is INTERESTING.
The development in the matter Of
guests asked to meet the President
and his wife at the several Cabinet
dinners has been interesting. Time
was when Cabinet dinner" was
in very truth a Cabinet dinner,
only the members of the Presidents
executive family and their women
folk being deemed eligible to dine
with him. Eight or ten times n
year practically the same company
would sit down together, the guests
received according to precedence,
with scant variety afforded by the
change in hosts, until the futility
of this procedure daWned upon the
incumbent Of the White House and
he sent out an SOS. l don't re.
member just when the change oc-
Cured, but it was just the sort of
thing that President Roosevelt
might have done-to let it be known
tactfully that, with no disrespect
to his Cabinet, he would appreciate
occasionally looking at someone else
across a dinner table. At all events,
since that time the tendency has
been more and more to exclude Of
fetal guests from the Cabinet din
ners and to bring together congenial
groups of guests from other cities
Who might otherwise never have
opportunity to meet the President
and whose view point he would be
interested in obtaining.
In most instances this year the
dinners have been more or less sec
tional. Secretary and Mrs. Hughes
importing a good many New York
ers for their dinner, Secretary Mel
Ion a number Of prominent "Pitts-
burghers,' Secretary Weeks a Mas.
sachusetts group and so on down
the line. But the Secretary Of
Commerce and Mrs. Hoover intro
duced a new note by limiting their
guests to the heads of the various
national engineering societies-Mr.
Hoover being himself an engineer
of international reputation-and
their wives. And Secretary and
Mrs. Davis, it will be noted, had
one or two labor leaders among
their guests, as we'll as the heads
of one or two fraternal organiza-
lions, Mr.. Young and Mr.. Shirley,
Mr.. Davis being known in the
double role of labor leader and
head of that great fraternal BODY,
the Loyal Order of the Moose.
"Home Folks" from Iowa and In
diana, respectively, made up the

CABINET HOSTS

Davises' Party Brings
Regular Series
To a Close.

MV1I uLlI10I WHICH Lie EoCCtCtdAJ
of Labor and Mrs. Davis gave
= last night in honor of Presi'
dent and Mrs. Coolidge brought
to a close the annual series of
Cabinet dinners for the Chief Elk
ecutive-a bit abbreviated by the
casualties in the Coolidge Cabinet.
The dinners with the Secretary
of State. the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and the Secretary of War as
hosts were given early in the season
as per schedule. But, if / remember
correctly, the date for former At
torney General Daugherty's dinner
was never definitely set, illness and
one thing or another interfering,
and the day upon which former
Secretary of the Navy DENLY and
Mrs. DENLY were to have enter
tanned fell but two or three days
after Mr.. Denby's resignation from
the Cabinet took effect.
The Secretary of the Interior and
Mrs. Work, too, were obliged to
cancel their proposed dinner because
of the severe fall which Mrs. Work
sustained, as a result of which she
was confined to Walter Reed Hos
pital for nine weeks and is still
on the sick list The date originally
chosen by the Postmaster General
and Mrs. New fell within the period
of official mourning for the late
Woodrow Wilson, so this dinner was
postponed, the News, however, even
tually entertaining for President and
Mrs. Coolidge on the evening which
had at first been set aside for DIR.
and Mrs. Work.
This marked the resumption Of
the series, the Secretary, of Agri-
culture and Mrs. Wallace giving
their dinner for the President and
Mrs. Coolidge the following week,
the Secretary of Commerce and Mrs.
Hoover, last Thursday and the
Secretary of Labor and Mrs. Davis,
last evening. Mrs. Work is still
hoping that she will make rapid
enough recovery to resume her
social activities in a measure and
that some time during the little
season" she and DR.. Work may
have the pleasure of entertaining
President and Mrs. Coolidge. Then,
there are the new Attorney General
and Mrs. Stone and the new Secre-
tary of the Navy and Mrs. Wilbur,
but nothing has been decided yet
about any entertaining that they
may do.

led. The car started backward and
seeing that collision might occur,
Mr.. Nick cnney turned the horse to-
ward the Chamber of Commerce
