"NHE SOCIAL season in washington
is well under way and for the
next fortnight and until Ash
Wednesday, there will be con-
tinuous round of parties. They
are all smaller, for all Washington, if
not all the country, follows the lead of
the White House. President and Mrs.
Roosevelt have made each reception
smaller, and have added to those asked
for the programs after the State din
ners, thus pleasing everyone, for an in
yitation to musicale at the White
House is one of the coveted things in
Washington society.
The much heralded changes" in the
arrangements for the annual reception
to the diplomatic corps which Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt gave Thurs
day evening were less radical than at
first appeared. The only actual changes
we're the smaller number of guests, the
reversing in the direction of the Zine"
of guests to be received and the serv-
ing of light refreshments, which has
not been done since the days of the
late President Wilson. Each of these
changes was for the comfort of the
guests and the whole made more de-
Iightful evening for all as well as cas-
ing the burden of handshaking for the
hosts. The guests Thursday evening
numbered 1000 and the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt left the blue room just
one hour and ten minutes after taking
their places before the screen of palms
and ferns. There was no long line
moving slowly from one side of the
building to the other forcing guests to
walk four or five city blocks after they
reached the east room. This arrange
ment in the past was necessary for the
larger number of guests, that the weight
on floors and walls was distributed

sity.

Church. There assembled the diplomats
of the Latin America countries. repre-

colorful service.
At the Washington Cathedral and
practically every church in the city,
individual services were held during the
morning, thousands taking advantage Of
this opportunity to offer humble thanks
for blessings received during the year

Princess Anne Crowd Halls Release
Of Four in Brief Hearing

CAMBRIDGE, Md, November 3d.
The judges who yesterday freed the
four lynch suspects arrested by the
National Guard will meet here tomor-
row to plan procedure for the local
investigation of the same crime.
Chief Judge John r. Pattison, who
presided at the habeas corpus hearing
and ordered the release of the four
arrested by the State administration
through the State troops, said he and
his associates would reconvene the
grand jury at an early date.
The grand jury. according to the
ANNOUNCED plan of States Attorney
John r. Robins. is to hear evidence
against the same four freed by the
Judges and, perhaps. four others. the
evidence will be the same as that Wn1cH ilei
Gov Ritchie and Attorney General VIII
liam Preston Lane, jr., wanted brought
out publicly before committing magis-
trate or at the habeas corpus hearing.
State Action Is Ended.
The developments of the last three
days, including the use of troops and
arrest of the four, finally resulted in the
victory of Robins plan OF procedure
over that sought by the Governor. For
today Gov. Ritchie at Annapolis an
nounced that he had done all he could
do and the State administration would
take no further part-other than to fur
nish its evidence for the grand jury
investigation That is what Robins has
asked from the beginning.
From whatever point you look at 1t,
the prosecution of this case now rests
completely and wholly in the hands Of
the judiciary Of the first judicial dis
trict,'' said Gov Ritchie- Under our
constitution, the powers Of the execu-
tive department and the Governor are
sharply defined and limited"
The only evidence identifying al.
legged participants in the lynching OF
the Negro, George Armwood, at Prin-
cess Anne last month was secured by
Attorney General Lane. It is in the
form of afidavits made by State po-
licemen who we're swept aside by the
lynching mob that stormed the jail.
Nine Originally Named.
Nine men were named, but since
then, according to Lane, two names
have proved to be fictitious OF the
remaining seven, said Lane, four were
arrested and three found absent when
the troops reached Somerset County.
The four arrested and released by
the Judges were William Thompson.

Special Sessions, Recessed
for Holidays, Unable to
Act Before DeadIine.
VARIETY OF STATUTES
ARE READY ELSEWHERE
Michigan, First to Vote Twenty
first Amendment o. K, Meets
Occasion Still a Dry Area.

Thanksgiving recesses Of special
legislative sessions called to enact liquor
control laws jeopardized repeal celebra-
ton plans in a number of States today,
five days before the formal death Of
constitutional prohibition next Tues
day. In others, an Associated Press
survey showed, all was in readiness for
the renewal of liquor sales under a
variety Of control laws that ranged all
the way from those permitting virtually
unrestricted distribution to those irnpos-
ing the most severe restraints upon
purchase and use.
Outstanding among the oddities in
the repeal picture today was the Mich
igan situation. The State, first to adopt
the twenty-first, or repeal amendment,
faced the almost certain prospect CT
being limited to the consumption Of
80 beer in its repeal festivities due to
the recess Of the State Legislature until
next Monday night.
Illinois Legislature also recessed for
the week end without having approved
control legislation. Missouri's Legisla-
ture limited itself to single days re-
cess, planning to convene again tomor-
row to renew its consideration of. con-
troll legislation in time for Tuesdays
changed situation. In Ohio, the session
will not convene until next Wednesday.
NEW YORK.-Bars, swinging doors
and the old-fashioned saloon are taboo
under the rules with which New York
will usher in the new wet era next
Tuesday.
High spots Of the regulations promul-
gated by the State Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board follow:
Liquor and wines must be served at
tables only in bona fide hotels, restau-
rants. clubs, vessels or railroad cars.
Licensed restaurants must have no
distractions which make a clear view
into the interior from the sidewalk
impossible.
Liquor sold in retail stores for con-
sumption of the premises must be sold
only in sealed bottles. giving a descfip-
tion Of contents, its age and whether or
not it is blended.
Sale to minors under 18 and drunk
ards is barred. No more than three
quarts Of hard liquor shall be sold to a
person at time.
Observation-Disclosures, the first
State to vote for repeal of the eight
eenth amendment. will be forced to
celebrate the actuality of repeal next
Tuesday with nothing stronger than 80
beer and wine.
The failure Of the State Legislature
to Immediately act on a liquor control
bill at its special session and the sus-
pension Of the Legislatures meetings
until next Monday night because Of the
Thanksgiving recess, combined to bring
about this condition
Attorney General Patrick H. O,Brien
has ruled that the State prohibition law
remains on the books until the Legis-
lature passes liquor control measure.

law to regulate the sale of intoxicants
after December 5.
