Thus the new year officially ushered in by a number of func providing opportunity in the | tion’s Capital for the happy exchange |of felicitations among the entire diplomatic and official sets from 53 nations. | All the cabinet receptions were | held “at home” with the exception | of those by the Secretary of State, at the Pan-American Union, and the Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Curtis Dwight Wilbur, who received | at Memorial Continental Hall The function at the Pan-American Union proved a magnet to sight- seers, as did the White House re- ception, many persons going from the White House to the Seventeenth street building to see the representa- tives of kings and other foreign potentates allght from their auto- mobiles and enter the hall. Lay Aside Court Dress. Some of the diplomats hurried home from the White House and laid aside their court dress for formal afternoon attire, such a change being dictated by court etiquette and stipulations of their own countries, while others added to the beauty of the scene in their gold lace and dangling swords. All of the naval and military attaches were in uniform, as were the Ameri- can officers present. The Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg had ordered everything in Keeping with the formality of the event, and as the Ambassadors and Ministers arrived they were taken to the second floor by elevator, where they were received by State Department officlals and es- corted in routine order to meet their hosts. The two great marble stairways were utilized, that at the left for the diplomats and that at the right for American officials. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg stood just within the doorway of the Hall of the Americans to recelve. J. Butler ‘Wright, Assistant Secretary of State, and other State Department officials assisted in escorting the guests to the hosts, where the presentations were made. 3 The Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg re- celved alone, the wife of the Secretary wearing an exceedirgly handsome gown of black chiffon velvet, plainly fashioned except for the elaborate sleeves of kings blue chiffon, heavily beaded and embroidered and flowing was centers of wealth have been flock- ing to the Highland Silver Fox Farms to choose the pelts while they are still on the true owners’ backs. Silver fox raisers have not been keen on encouraging the idea of sell- ing furs on the hoof because of the bother of waiting on customers, and they quote anything but bargain prices. The average price is at least £20, plus the expense of the buyer's trip to the Highlands. SPECIAL NOTICES. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE olders of A. §. Pratt & Sons.

The great hall lost much of its formality Jby the arrangement of the buffet tables for the breakfast and the smaller tables on the opposite side of the room, where coffee and punch were served.

GANGSTER SWEARS OFF FOR NEW YEAR Final Retirement From Chicago Rum War Announced by Big Joe Salti: Hert. [ Secretary and Mrs. Davis will enter- By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 1.—Big Joe Saltis has made his resolution for the new year, and announced his intention of leaving Chicago and the liquor gang warfare, In which his name has long ‘been prominent. Recently tried for murder and ac- quitted, questioned by the police in connection with one after another gangster death, Saltis told reporters who located him that he had retired from the traffic and arranged his de- parture. “I've been out of the racket for a "’ he said made enough money to the heads of missions and their wives, were the vivacious younger members of the corps who went to make up the suite of each mission. Old and young men of 53 different nations talked and smiled and joy- ously exchanged greetings, more than a dozen tongues being heard. The size of the building admitted of the presence of the cabinet members and their wives and families and other officials, including the members of the foreign relations committee of the Senate, with Senator William E. Borah as chairman, and the foreign affairs committee of the House, with Representative Stephen G. Porter as ehairman, At the breakfast, as at the White House reception, the first foreign guests recetved were the Aml T of Belgium and Baroness de Cartier de Marchiene and his suite, with each Ambassador and Minister with their respective suites following. To many of the diplomats the scene at the White House and breakfast were novel. The Ambassador of Chile, Senor Don Miguel Cruchaga Tocornal, arrived in March of last year, while the Ambassador of Spain, the Minister of Nicaragua, the Minister of Sweden, the Ministers of Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Albania, Siam, Rumania and Persia each faced a new scene in & new land. Four of the countries, Salvador, Ecuador, Paraguay and the Netherlands, were represented by charge d'affaires. . The menu for the breakfast was an elaborate piate affair, including sal- ads, croquettes, jellied meats, hot bul- lion, coffee, tea, punch and ices, and, after the fatigue of early rising, the wait at the White House, and so on, it was a much appreciated meal. Because of the hours spent at the ‘White House and in acting as hosts at the breakfast, the-Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg are not keeping open house during the later hours of the afternoon, as are other cabinet mem- bers and thelr families, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon will be at home this afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock in his apartment at 1785 Massachusetts avenue and will have with him his son, Paul Mellon.

Big Joe’s name has been mentioned in connection with the death of Clements, whose body was found Thursday, two weeks after he disappeared. The theory that Clements was one of the two machine gunners who lay in wait and killed Hymie Weiss and one of his henchmen in front of Holy Name Cathedral a short time ago was scouted by Saltis. Clements’ body was identified yesterday by a woman as that of one of two men who rented a room for their machine gun nest. Police held that Clements’ death heralded the breaking of a reputed gang peace pact and an outbreak of warfare, but Al Capone, Cicero gang chief, said he did not regard the kill- ing as a signal for renewal of hostllities. RESEARCH GETS $204,000. Fund Designed to Aid Farmer in Hard Times. Believing that under the stress of hard times for the farmer the De- partment,of Agriculture should extend itself to find new uses for agricul- tural products, a Senate appropria- tions subcommittee has added $204,000 for research and other items to the agricultural appropriation bill. The largest single augmentation was a $40,000 item for a study by the Forestry Research Laboratory at Madison, Wis., of the possibilities of manufacturing ether out of yellow pine. The cairy industry was aided by $22,000 increase for research, and $25,000 was added for a survey to de- termine new uses which would create a market for cotton. For eradication of the bark blight which has ravaged chestnut trees and to send a pathological expedition to China to find a tree immune to the disease $35,000 was recommended. iz PORTO RICANS PAY DEBTS. Bank Official Says They Meet Ob- ligations Before Due. By the Associated Press, : Porto Rican farmers are good peo- ple to lend money to, becauge they pay their debts before they become due, E. B. Thomas of the Federal Land Bank reported yesterday to the War.Depart- ment. “About $10,000,000 has been loaned to the farmers of this island,” he said, *“and there is not & single one who has not, complied with his obligations to us. Furthermore, a thing has occurred which I have never observed before, though T have worked in banking in: stitutions for more than 20 years. Farmers who have obtained loans from us pay their interest and the corresponding parts of the principal before the date due. In November there were 392 payments in this bank, of which 249 were made before due date, the others on exact due date.” - Naval Officers Must File Oath.

By the Associated Press PHILADELPHIA, January | King Momus ruled over Philadelphia today. Scarcely had the tapping of the historic Liberty Bell, ushering in the New Year, ceased when the Mummers started fina} preparations for their gorgeous parade later in the day, a picturesque feature of Philadelphia’s New Year day celebration. The streets were filled with Kings, queens, princes and knights garbed in robes of brilliant hue, while members of the comic clubs gave evidence that many of the events that have occu- pled the public mind during the last year would be set to comedy. Advance showings of the various floats, hidden away In garages and stables, indicated that “Jersey Jus- tice,” “De Rus eys Lane,” “The Jury” and other features of the Hall-Mills trial would have a prominent pait in the funmaking sectlon. The Sesqui exposition and Queen Marie's arrival in America were the subjects of other floats. Approximately $30,000—$25,000 by the city and $5,000 by neighborhood clubs—wais offered in prizes for the 18 marching clubs, numbering about 12,000 men. Thousands .of Philadelphians re- mained up all night in order to obtain places of advantage in the line of march. After the New Year eve cele- brations, a feature of which was the tapping of the historic Liberty Bell, by Mrs, W. Freeland Kendrick, wife of the mayor, had quicted down, many persous walked the streets or went to night clubs to await the start of the procession. Residents of this city were not the only ones who heard the saund of the famous old Revolutionary relic, for the tapping was broadcast from Sta- tion WLIT, and messages were re- celved from many parts of the coun- try that it had been picked up. Re- ports also were recefved that the peals ©of the bell In the tower of Independ- ence Hall were distinctly heard in dis- tant parts of the country. This bell was struck 151 times as the New Year dawned, once for each year of Ameri- can independence, and also was broad- cast through Station WLIT. COL.

DWIGHT, Ill., January 1.—Informed that he was expected to arrive in Washington next week, Frank L Smith, senatorial appointee of Gov Small, last” night declared that he had no plans to make public. “I have no statement to make,” he told the Assoclated Press, when asked whether he would deny or affirm the fact of his intention to go to Wash- ington. Mr. Smith spent New Year eve at home and did not participate in any special observance. CUBAN CREDIT ARRANGED. New York Bank Negotiates First of Highway Loans. NEW YORK, January 1.

BELFAST, Ireland, January 1 (®). —On the bestowal of a peerage, which entitles him to sit in the British House of Lords, Sir James Cralg, premier of Ulster, decided to take the title “Viscount Cralgavon,” after his old home on the outskirts of Bel fast.

Franklin 9503 | Philadelphia Floats Carica- | BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Washington is one of the most col- orful capitals of the world on New Year day, when the 300 and more diplomats’ gather in their most gor- geous raiment to pass in review be- fore the President and Mrs. Coolidge. { Then they journey down to the Pan- American_Building to have breakfast with the Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg, and for the remainder of the afternoon are calling on the exalted officials who keep their homes open for_the customary hospitality. There were many new faces among those who gathered in the blue room fodny to greet the Chief Magistrate and just as many were missing from the pageant. A new dean led the corps, and it is of interest, that while M. Jusserand, Ambassador from France, 22 years assigned to this Capi- tal, was 12 of these years dean of the corps, he has had two successors in this office, though he departed not auite three years ago. M. and Mme Jusserand were in Washington on New Year day, 1924, and on January 1, 1925 and 1926, the Spanish Ambas- sador, Senor Riano, who had suc- ceeded to the post of honor, was the dean, and now in 1927 the Belgian Ambassador, Baron de Cartier de Marchienne, I8 dean. The British Ambassador, who is vice dean, and Lady Isabella Howard rived in Washington during the sek and the Argentine Ambassador, confidently expected for the first of the year, was detained in Buenos Aires, and is sailing from that port with his family on January 11. Col. Orestes Ferarra, the new Cuban Am- bassador, was in the line, this being his first appearance with Senora Ferarra. Washington is beginning to know the present Spanish Ambassa- dor and Senora Padilla and their two laughters and their manly young son, Don Ricardo de Padilla. French Envoy Absent. The French Ambassador-elect, M. Paul Claudel, will not be in Wash- ington until late in January and it i« another point of interest that M. Jusserand was the last Ambassador from the French Republic who had been in residence at the time of any of the presidential amenities to the foreign corps. M. Daeschner did not come to the Capital until February of 1925, when the official season was almost ended. He had departed be- fore they began in this same year, and his successor, Senator, with Mme. Henri Berenger, did not arrive until the end of January, 192 Many im- portant changes may be noted in the corps of ministers. The picturesque Prince Antoine Bibesco has given place to the sedate and scholarly Dr. Cretziano as envoy from Rumania and he has brought a JANUARY 1, 1927.

A new envoy has come from Siam, Phya Vljitavongs, after the post had been vacant for more than a year. A Persian Minister presented his cre- dentials during the past month to succeed M. Hussein Alai, who is now serving in the Senate at Teheran. One of the most Important changes since the last New Year was the re- | turn of Capt. and Mme. Wallenberg | to Stockholm and the coming of the | present Swedish Minister and Mme. | Bostrom. There are two attractive young -daughters and a guest from the homeland, and this legation, al- | ways of prime importance in the | soclal sense, has become a center of gayety for the vounger set. The pop- ular envoy from the Dominican Re. public, Senor del Carmen Ariza, re- signed his post in June and returned ith Senora Ariza to his home at Santo Domingo, and his successor, Dr. Angel Morales, appeared in to- day’s pageant for the first time. Among the' other' new faces in the Latin American wing of the corps are those of the Minister from Venezuela, Senor Carlos Grisanti, and his family, Senora Grisanti and their four daugh: ters. The Minister from Nicaragua, Dr. Salvador Castrillo, came to Washington late in January of the past year. | Alba Now Represented. ! The Minister from the Netherlands, Jonkheer de Graeff, and his inter- esting family, who were such active | members of diplomatic soclety dur- ing the past four years, are now in Java, where the Minister is royal governor of the Dutch East Indies. No successor has been appointed and the affairs of Queen Wilhelmina's country remain in the hands of the charge d'affaires, Jonkheer H. Van Asch van Wyck. A new country, Albania, has been added to the list of Nations hold- ing friendly relations with Wash- ington and the first Minister, Dr. Falk Konitza, is a well known scholar who had lived in this coun- | try and lectured in various univer- | sities and colleges before the up- heaval in the Balkans and the subse- quent World War. In the Spanish and French am- bassadorial families, the younger circle in diplomatic society are ap- preciably enhanced. Senor de Padilla has two daughters already in society | and with all the accomplishments. M. and Mme. Claudel have two sons, Plerre and Henri, and two daughters, Reine and Renee, who will come to Washington at least for a time. CANADA HAS BIG GAIN IN YEAR’S COMMERCE Total Nearly $2,500,000,000, Ac- cording to Estimates—U. S. Is Chief Factor. By the Assoclated Press. OTTAWA, January 1.-—Canada’s trade will total nearly two and a half billion dollars in the year just closed, according to figures made public last night by the Bureau of Statistics.

A small quantity of foreign goods also was exported. During the past year the Dominion tmported about a. billion dollars’ worth of goods, an increase of about $125,- 000,000 over 1925 and an increase of about $190,000,000 over 1924. Canadlans bought more goods in the United States than they sold in that country. Imports from the United States totaled in value about $666,000,- 000, and exports about $470,000,000. From the United Kingdom Canadians’ brought in goods to the value of $164,- 900,000 and exported $486,000,000. S DOLLARS FOR SOLDIERS. American Made Chauseur Corporal for Gifts to Troops. NICE, FRANCE, January 1 (#).— The village of Plera Cava was whoop- ing it up with dollar bills last night through the New Year eve generosity t “Mr. A. Thompson of Cleveland, who gave to each soldier of the 22d Battalion of Alpine Chauseurs a brand-new greenback. For this Mr. Thompson was made an honorary cor- poral of the organization. Mr. Thompson told the soldiers that if they saved the money he would double the sum next New Year, but almost to a man they hurried to change their wealth into cigarettes, cakes or wine. It was remarked that a man would have to be a corporal 20 years to earn as much as Mr. Thompson gave away in 20 minutes. —_— $30,000 Immediately Available Second Trust Loans H. B.
