And Washington is prepared to
give the new year a hilarious well

headache tomorrow.
Eevery hotel, every night club
and every private club reports
capacity reservations for tonight's
festivities, while thousands Of
persons will gather at private
parties in homes to greet 1885.
But it will not be all gay. Many
churches will hold Watch Night
services to welcome the New Year
with prayer and hymns.
Clear And Cold
The Weather Bureau has
promised a clear and cold night
for those who will be out, followed
by probable rains tomorrow.
For the benefit of late revelers,
the Capital Transit Company has
arranged for late street car and
bus service to all parts of the city.
The first New Years Eve that
liquor has been legal in the Capt.
tai finds the liquor stores jubilant
over their largest sales. Additional
supplies are being rushed here to
replenish depleted stocks.
But those who go to hotels and
night clubs will not be allowed to
bring their own as in other years.
At least if they do they will be
confronted with "corkage"
charge which will prove costly.
Party at White House
The hotelmen believe that pa
irons should purchase liquor now
that it is legal and wish to dis
courage the old hip flask habit
of dry days.
There will be a party at the

PRESIDENT DUE
To GET PLEA
FOR HARRIS
Petition Seeks to Save Life of
Man Convicted in SIay-
ina of Gambler

In an effort to save the life
of Charles Harris, sentenced to
die in the electric chair here
January II for the Staying of
Milsie Henry, gambler, a petition
asking presidential clemency has
been filed with James A. Finch,
pardon attorney of the Depart
ment of Justice.
The petition is expected to be
presented to President Roosevelt
by the pardon attorney within
the next few days. It was pre-
pared by Attorneys Nugent Dodd
and Neil Burkinshaw, who be-
came interested in Harris case
and have represented him with
out pay. It is signed by three
other leading citizens Of the Dis
trict, according to Mr.. Burkin-
shaw.
The signers include Charles
Edward Russell, editor and au-
thor, president of the Washing
ton Chapter of the American
Association Against Capital Pun:
ishment; Mrs. Charles Goldsmith,
secretary of the Board of Public
Welfare and the Rev. Charles
Brown Harris, pastor of Foundry
M. E. Church.
The appeal for communication Of
sentence claims that new evil
dence has been found tending to
show Harris is not guilty and
stresses the fact that he was
identified as the slayer by only
one witness who saw the slayer
from a window of his apartment
about 80 feet from the scene.
Henry was killed at $50 a. m.
on April 2, 1882, while on his way
home from an all-night poker
party. Half a block from his
home at Oak and Brown Streets
he slowed down for a milk truck,
the slayer ran up from another
car and shot him five times with
a shotgun.
Harris widowed mother, who is
living in Brooklyn, never has been
told of his plight, it is said.
