Garden Party for Mr.. Titus WEEDS
Admiral Reeves Miss Woodward

The Misses Edith and Maud
Wetmore, former residents of
the Capital, received Admiral
Joseph Mason Reeves yester-
day at their home in Newport,
r. l., much the same as their
late parents, United States Sen
ator and Mrs. George Peabody

liam T. Sampson and the
white Fleet of Spanish war
fame in 1899. The lawns of
Chateau7sur-mer, their estate in
Bellevue Avenue, was the scene,
and approximately 700 guests
were present in the gardens
and on the wide spreading ter
races. The guests included Of
ficers of the fleet and military
stations and members of the
Summer colony.
1t is doubtful that another
show place at Newport could
lend itself more adequately for
garden party of such proper
tions, and the Misses Wetmore
proved delightful hostesses.
Admiral Reeves will sail tomor-
row on his flagship, New Mex
leo, for New York and then to
South America. Senator Felix
Herbert and Senator Jesse H.
Metcalf were among the guests,
as was Mayor Sullivan of New
port.
There were large refreshment
booths, marques, tea tables,
and a special reception area on
the terrace. Colored umbrellas
dotted the entire scene and a
musical program was presented
by the municipal band.
The Minister of the Union Of
South Africa and Mrs. Ralph
William Close left Washington

PLACER MINING IN
 CASSIAR DISTRICT

Ben Cambron who recently re- turned to Wrangell from his placer claims on Gold Pan in the Cassiar country says that the placer min ing industry is looking up con siderably in that country and that miners have done much better than heretofore during the season just past. With the help of three men he recently constructed a 110- foot dam capable of holding nine feet of water which will be used for ground sluicing operations. Twelve-foot tagging faced with moss and reinforced with sod squares with 20-foot spruce braces six feet apart formed the main dam. There is a seven by ten auto matic gate and four by eight curtain gate There is 8 reason for renewed optimism in his section of the Cassiar, Cambron says, for all of the miners are doing well and the prospects for very much in creased production next season seem assured Tn some sections, notably
 Mosquito Creek, hundred dollar pans have been obtained.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept 29.- Special Correspondence)-An ar ticle appearing in the Washington Post of recent date dealt with the visit to the Territory during the past summer of Mrs. Louise Hart ley Wassell, Washington writer and wife of Judge Samuel M. Wassell.
 T saw only one Eskimo" Mrs. Wassell was quoted as saying; and no igloos, because we didn't go to the far northern part of the Ter ritory. But. did see plenty of totem poles, lurid and fascinating; field after field of flowers as vivid as those in the tropics, and peaks covered with glaciers melting into cascades that silvered the crevices of their tree-carpeted sides"
 Memories of People
 But the scenery, much as it i'm pressed Mrs. Wassell, was of sec- ondary interest to her Her mem ories deal mainly with people she met. tCt
 "I'he natives, she said, most of whom are Indians, still retain rem nants of their ancient civilization; yet they are eager to progress, to keep abreast of the world from which they are geographically sep aratedp
 Mrs. Wassell had high praise for she work which Mrs. Helen c. Hell lick is doing at Sand Point in be- half of the natives.

NEBRASKA HAS
 GREAT TASK TO
 REPLACE SAUER
By MUNRO KEzER

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 16.-George Sauer stepped out of the Univer- sity of Nebraska an all-American fullback but there's no star to step into his spot in the Cornhusker football picture this fall.
 Even if Coach Dana x. Bible could take the composite merits of his backfield possibilities, he still would fall short of having a Sauer, the rampaging 195-pounder who plunged, passed, kicked and tackled his way to a position of national leadership.
 ,Bauer Is Back
 Henry Bauer, who campaigned with Sauer through high school, freshman football and one year Of varsity play. is back after a two year absence from Cornhusker ranks and he may plug the pass ing gap left by the end of Sauer's career.
 Johnny Williams, who file d Sauer's shoes in the important Iowa game last fall and helped to hold slippery Joe Laws, big Dick Creync and company to single touchdown, might replace Sauer's great defensive work at backing up the line. A shortage of center material, however, may cause Coach Bible to convert Williams into a substitute at the pivot spot.
 Bid fer Fullback
 Sam Francis, Kansas sophomore who kicks and passes from the port side, will bid for a fullback berth and may be the punter Bible is seeking to succeed the great kickers headed by Sauer who have per- formed in scarlet togs the last five years. John Howell, brother of Blue Howell, Nebraska star few years ago, is another sophomore after the fullback job.
 Glenn Sleeves, 170-pound triple threat back who understudied Sauer the last two years is another pros pect but he lacks the terrific driv- ing power with which Sauer broke away from tacklers in the line or in the open.
 Practice may develop a new star but Nebraska fans as yet can't see another Sauer, who will be close at hand, helping another former Nebraska all-America football play CT, Ed Weir, with the Cornhusker freshman team.

BIRD STOCKING PLAN IN SITKA
 IS COMPLETED
Ph heasants e Liberated by Game Com mission
 Appear to Thrive.

E. M. Goddard, Acting Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Com mission, made the round trip to Sitka on the motorship Northland returning here Sunday night. The trip was made to arrange for the liberation of 50 pheasants which had been shipped to Sitka by the Samuel Martin Pheasant Shop of Seattle for stocking purposes in the vicinity of Sitka under the Territorial legislative stocking pro- gram.
 This group completes the pheas- ant stocking authorized in the Sitka district by the last Terri torial Legislature, MT. Goddard said. Altogether 225 birds have been liberated since September l, he declared. Early in September ITS birds were liberated and from all indications they are doing well, he observed.
 Several years ago residents of Sitka liberated a few pair of pheasants, and though an odd bird or two was later seen, it had been impossible to obtain definite in- formation as to their progress, MT. Goddard stated. However, shortly after the first liberation of young pheasants by the game commission this fall, eighteen old birds were noticed by them, which indicates that the original pairs liberated by the Sitka residents have propagat- ed and thrived, he declared

CHICAGO, Oct 16.--A court clerk ! read the name of Samuel Insull.
 A haired man of "A rose from his chair along the north wall Of the federal court room, and responded Here"
 The curtain was up in the dra- ma of the United States versus In- sull and his co-defendants for al- legged use of the mails to defraud in connection with the collapse of his flung four billion dollar utilities Set-up.
 It marked another dramatic mo- ment in the odyssey of the deposed utilities czar who had fled abroad two years before and staved off g successive attempts by the United States governmet to eXtradite him.
 Trail Ended in Istanbul The trail led from New York to France, thence to Italy and Greece, and ended in Istanbul on Greek freighter. No multi-millionaire's en- tourage accompanied Insull then. He made the trip back to the United States in the custody of authorities.
 Once he was member of 85 sboards of directors, chairman of 65, and president of II companies. He gave orders with none to question him. Now the government questions some of the activities of the pyramided utilities concern whose shares rose to dizzy heights and crashed. Insul answer s "here," and defends himself with eight attorneys.
 Once no important Chicago social function was considered a success without his presence. He was a leader in the business world, a pat ron of the theatre and the arts. He gave the Chicago Civic opera a skyscraper home and built for him. self an English style penthouse on it's top. It was his town home. His country estate was staffed with servants.
 Now the picture is changed. His town and country homes are gone. ,His vast fortune is said to have been lost in the crash that brought down his four billion dollar utili- ties set-up, Six hundred thousand investors in his various utilities enterprises also saw their profits and savings wiped out.
 Where once he rode in luxurious limouSines driven by uniformed chauffeurs, he recently has been : making taxis do. His residence has been his sons modest hotel apart sfnent.
 Instead of the regal directors rooms that once echoed to his voice, Insun appears in the austere surroundings of court room, and answers Here" when his name is called.
