Mrs. MacArthur has been prominent in Washington soclety since her debut here some years ago, the elaborateness of the ball which was her introduction to Washington being the topic of con- | versation for several seasons. She was | Louise Cromwell, only daughter of the ing Edward T. Stotesbury of Philadel- phia after the death of Mr, Cromwell. The debut party was a large ball given in the old Rauscher’s at Connecticut avenue and L street when the rooms were transtormed into a garden. The walls were latticed and entwined with Southern smilax and asparagus vines with palms and quantities of flowers about the rooms, and tall cedar trees at intervals about the walls. Canaries in cages sang and a breakfast was served after midnight. Her marriage to Walter B. Brooks, jr. of Baltimore took place in May, 1911, and they occupied the largest mansion in the Green Spring Valley, known as Rainbow Hill, which is cne |of the show places of Maryland.

Six years ago the Michigan State Po- lice formed a river patrol.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, June 18 (#.— | By a vote of 71 to 13 the Florida House | of Representatives yesterday adopted a resolution protesting “certain social policies of the administration in enter- taining colored persons in the White House on a parity with white ladies.” | Nearly two hours of debate preceded the vote and during which several | speakers took occasion to comment on | the effect of the resolution both in State and naticnal politics.

The resolution cited the South’s long- | standing opposition to social equality | of the white and colored races and| declared believe the social inter- | course between white and black races is contrary to decency and subversive to_the best interests of all concerned.” In introducing the resolution, Repre- sentative Way declared that “the State of Florida has been betrayed by such sction.” The voters of Florida should be con- | demned instead of Mrs. Hoover said | Representatvie Caldwell, adding: “Equality of the white and black races | A statement from _Representative Entminger “that the House is about to do something to bring down on our heads the wrath of the Northern poli- ticians” brought from Representative Gravely a caustic retort. As amended, the section of the reso- lution referring to the White House reads: “Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Florida that certain soctal policies of the administration in entertaining Negroes in the White House on a parity with white ladies were both shameful and disgraceful, and if persisted in, { will destroy the Anglo-Saxon race and set at naught the social fabric of the country that has for ages guarded and kept sacred the purity of our Anglo- Saxon blood, which stands for the The resolution also called on Glenn B. Skipper, Republican national com- mitteeman from Florida, to convey to the President the “earnest protest of the House of Representatives,” and urged him to use his influence to prevent repetition of such incidents.

Swifter speed boats, which would run circles” around the vernment craft, were the answer of the big op- erators. ¥ A few we Wl ago the flaunting de- fiance of the Government by the rum runners was strikingly illustrated in a photograph obtained by the Detroit News, which was widely copied through- out the United States and found it way to the desks of prohibition chief: in Washington. The photograph showed a cargo of liquor being unloaded at 9:25 in th morning at the foot of Riopelle street nine blocks east of Woodward avenue, the main thoroughfare of Detroit. A speed boat had crossed the river from Canada in 2 minutes and 44 seconds. 1t was unloaded in 50 seconds into an automobile convoyed by another car containing armed men and speeded on its way through streets where traffic had been halted by other armed men Shipments continued all day. Cus- toms boats several times gave pursuit but they were outdistanced. This w within a few minutes’ ride of the Fed- eral Building and police headquarte There followed the declaration of war in Washington. And the answer of the rum runners to that is that if they cannot find ioop- holes in the river blockade, they will use airplanes on a large scale.

Trout Lure President. 1t is believed that the only thi would lure the President away from this form of morning exercise for any length of time would be his fondness for trout fishing and tramping about the woods in some remote section of the country.
