DANGE I3 SET FOR MARCH 4 Not an Inangaral Ball However —Washington Responds Washington, Jan. 19. (P—The national capital's society is agog over the prospects of a big dance on the night of inauguration on March 4. The affair, however, will not be an inaugural ball, as Pres- ident-Elect Hoover has ruled against such an official event as a part of the program of his induc- tion into office. It will be a dance for the benefit of Washington charitles. Telegrams and letters already are pouring in by the hundreds order- ing tickets for the dance. It is well understood that the new president and the new first lady of the land will not attend that night, but since the new Vice President Curtis, and his sister, Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, and his daughters and sons- in-law and his son, Harry Curtis and his pretty young wife will be there, the event will be worth while, The passing of the inaugural ball with its old time triumphal parade around the ball room of the new president and the first lady of the land, and the president’s cabinet, with some times the out-going pres- ident and his lady also attending, is after all but little mourned in the capital. It is reglized that balls like all other forms of entertainment and recreation must change with the progress of life, and just so there is some splendid form of di- version with which to‘ close the day's varied and brilliant progranf | at the capitol and in the streeus, it does not' matter. So the inaugural committee has elected to recognize a magnificent charity ball, the profits from which will go to Washington charity, it being specified that the police and fireman's funds each would recelve | $5,000. Plans for the ball which is to be held in the Washington audi- tortum the night of March 4, have been placed in the hands of Mra. John Allan Dougherty of Washing- ton as chairman. It was Mrs, Dougherty, who, when President Harding refused to eanction an inaugural ball as a fin- ish to his inaugural day, hastily completed plans for,a child welfare ball to be held at the Willard ho- tel. While President and Mrs. Hard- ing did not attend, Vice President and Mrs. Coolidge did, and so did| notables | several thousand other who were in the capital. The pro- ceeds reached mearly the $30.000 mark. This so cncouraged Mrs. Dougherty that she planned and carried to success another semi. inaugural dance upon the induction of the Coolidge administration, again a ball minus a president and first lady as guests, and this time the result was a fund of about $42/000. Vice President and Mrs. Dawes attended the ball four years ago as did the governors of the states who came to attend the inaugural cere- monles, and many other officlals and dignitaries, diplomats going be- cause it was a big parade and they wanted to see how it was done. While it is known that Mrs. Hoover will order her costume to be worn to the capitol on March 4 when her husband will take the oath of office as president, and has devoted much more time than usu- al to replenishing her wardrobe be- fore going South, she is exceeding- 1y reticent, about all personal af- fairs. 8he and Mrs. Coolidge have visited many times within a week, and the incoming first lady of the land has profted by the experience of her predecessor. Mrs. Coolidge went shopping on Connecticut avenue recently and she and Mrs. Ashurt, wife of Sena- tor Henry R. Ashurst of Arizona, met at the place of a fashionable tailor where both were having a coat fitted, and passed on the styles of the day. At the morning musicale at the Mayflower hotel Wednesday, and while the fashionable world at- tending was making vain effort to reach Mrs. Coolidge and sympathize with her on the weakened condition of her mother, she slipped quietly out and left the hotel without meeting a halt dozen persons. She wore a splendidly fitted and tailored black coat suit, and coat of 1'p length and a clochet of soft black felt fitted snugly about her face. Washington is having a brana new experience in having a vice president- elect in town where he can be seen on all occasions and can make visits and be entertained. Indecd, Scnator Charles Curtis is having scarce a moment to himselt for when he is not at the capital he is some one's guest. In moving into the presidential suite at the Mayflower, taking with him his half-sister and her hus- band, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Ever- ett Gann, he makes himself much more accessible to his colleagues and constituents. Mrs. Gann has moved Mr. Curtis's books and be- longings from their pretty Queen Ann house in Cleveland park into the suites in the hotel and in fact almost everything that belongs to him while for her own use she has moved just enough to make the rooms look homelike. Mrs, Gann has ordered her dress for inaugural day and a splendid new gown for the ball in the eve- ning. She dresses remarkably well and while many effects in costume are due to her good taste and skill- ful necdle, she knows how to shop. Mrs. Miles Poindexter has re- turned to Washington. Of course her husband, former Senator Poin- dexter has returned too, coming from his post as Ambassador (o Peru, but that is not halt so much to the point. No woman who has ever figured in scnate circles has produced quite so much excitement and given so much to talk about in an agrceable way as Mrs. Poindex- ter. Lima will ncver forget her. She would not hesitate to advise either the President of the United States or Peru, if she thought he needed it and he would be in gales of laugh- ter while she did it. It was once thought to be exceed- ingly vulgar to mantion money in coanection with marriage, but just now the chief chatter of drawing rooms is this or that million dollar bridegroom, of which Washington girls scem to have plenty. Society ix looking forward to the wedding of Misg Janct Newbold, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fleming Newbold ot Washington to Mr. Allan A. Ryan, Jr., in §t. Matthews’ Catholic church February 5, and many New York society folk will come here for the event. Mr. Ryan's vast fortune is reckoned over and over by the lisp- ing tongues of debutantes, but with or without money, every one of them who know the bridegroom- elect like him. Another wedding carly February with the fortune of the New Eng- land Drapers back of it, is that of Miss Virginia Mason, daughter of Mrs. Charles Fleld Mason and the late Brig. General Blair, Jr., whose mother was Edith Draper, aunt of Princess Marguerite Boncompagni. Dr. Blair's parents have one of the splendid Maryland estates at Silver Spring, a few miles from Washing- ton. Her wedding will take place in old St. John's church on Lafayette square. ' 8cnatorial weddings are not so rare in Washington but a senatorial wedding on Sunday afternoon seems never to have happencd in Wash- ington before. However, one will happen Sunday afteoon in the home of Senator and Mrs. Alben W. and more elaborate, and from now until the season begins to wane in March there will be a whiripool of guiety. P Arrival at “El Mirasol” of Mrs. Edward T. Stotesbury, Philadelphia, regarded as Palm Beach's premier hostess, was the signal for the start- ing of formal entertaining. Mrs. Stotesbury, however, has been spending a few days quietly at rest and to become acclimated, and Mr. Stotesbury, too, is convalescing from his motor accident of last October. The Philadelphian a ploneer of so- clety here, is president of the ex- clusive Bath and Tennis club and of the Soclety of Arts of Palm Beach, as well as an important member of the group sponsoring the Everglades club. The list of hotel and colony arriv- als this week resembles a section from “Who's Who." Lady Diana Duff Cooper, the former Lady Diana Manners, has been the guest of Otto H. Kahn, of New York, at Oheka cottage, Ocean Boulevard here. Lady Cooper has gone to Nassau for a visit but expects to return here lat- er in the season, 2 Teela de Malhou, the etcher, and Rachael Hartley, the painter, the latter a granddaughter of Geerge Innes, are here as guests of Con- tessa Denise Dolfin, of Venice, Italy, and Palm Beach, and Maria Law- rence Weterill, the etcher, at their home “Thatchcote” on the south lake front. Other prominent arriv- als In the next few days will be Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, republican na- tional committee woman from Ken- tucky, mentioned prominently for a portfolio in the cabinet of Presi- dent-Elect Hoover, and Congress- man James Francis Burke, of Pitts- burgh, Pa., who will remain here for the season. The first musicale thus far this season was given at “Marcheta” the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Bkiff, of Short Hills, N. J., and Palm Beach, when John Charles Thomas, baritone, formerly with the Royal Opera company of Brussels, gave the program. There was a little surprise when Mr. Thomas sang a composition written by his wife, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Dobyne, Beverly Farms, Mass, in honor of the host and hostess. Another outstanding event of the week was the first Bunday night dinner dance at the Everglades club. This saw Mr. and Mrs. Edward T. Btotesbury with a group of guests, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas L. Chadbourne of Greenwich, Conn., Mrs. Richard Croker, Palm Beach, widow of the former Tammany chieftain, and others. Gu of the Stotesbury's were Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Quentin Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Archibald Barklie, Mr. and Mrs. Chariton Yarnall, Mrs, Edward Moore Roberts, Miss Kather- ine Connell, Henry P. Sloan, and Willlam Henry Harrison. Polo is king when the smart tire of chasing the white ball over fair- ways, or weary with other count- less diversions. Major Edward C. Metcalf, former equerry to the Prince of Wales, and Lady Metcalf Alexandria are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Munn, been in the tilting. Teamed with “Mr. Lad- die” Sanford, Mr. Winston Guest, and Mr. Harvey Shaffer, Major Metcalf wore the laurels of victory when his four trounced by 11 to 9 the team composed of Mr. Godfrey Preece, Mr. Stuart Preece, Mr. Ray- mond Firestone and Mr. Howard Phipps. The links tournament season was under way this week. Among those seen on the Kelsey City links were George W. Anderson, Newport, R. I, Nick DBlair, Leo Touster, N. N. Scudder of Houston, and Jules bashe, all of New York, Earl H. Schrade, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., and Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Hogarth, Toronto, Canada. Fashions have kept pace with the swelling visitors’ list. Among the chic costumes noted during the week was one worn by Mrs. George Simon, the daughter-in-law of Franklin 8imon, of New York, on Breakers beach. Mrs. Simons worc a frock of yellow flat crepe with a design of sunburst tucking on the Llouse. Accessories also were in| yellows. Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilt of New York city, joined the colony thin week, and in the Gurnec Munn home on North Ocean Boule- vard. Another prominent arrival was Rodman Wanamaker, II., of Neéw York who brought as his guests, Dudley Ward of London and William Rhinelander Stewart, Jr., Dante Leland and James Harrison, all of New York. They are at “La Querida” where Mr. Wanamaker gave a dinner celebrating the arriv- al. Mr. Wananaker intends staying at Palm Beach for about five weeks. Tampa—The stately dining room of the Tampa Bay hotel was dressed a8 never before this week, when on Tuesday night members of the Junfor League transformed it into a night club for their “Cotton Pickers Ball.” Among the distinguished guests were Governor and Mrs. John Trumbull of Connecticut and LEGISLATURE DOES DEBS AND COLLEGE BOS SUPPLY PEP Bat 04d Guard Are Again in the Saddle in New York New York, Jan. 19. (P—New York's soclal life resembled a state ly grand march this week after a holliday season jazsed up by col- leglans at home and dominated by debutantes, with the younger crowd no longer leading the dance, su- premacy was assumed again by the older group of society, and parties assumed a more formal tone, though marked by unique entertain- ment and brilliant decoration. ‘The silver ball, characterized by pageanta, costumes and decorations of silver, drew 5,000 guests to Madi- son Square Garden Monday night for one of the most brilliant affairs of the season. “The Crystal Foun- tain,” & pageant given by 300 girls in blue and silvér frocks, powdered wigs and silver hats, was a climax of the entertainment. Thousands of silver balloons were passed by the xirls from hand to hand up:each ramp of the central stage and re- legsed, giving the appearance of fountain water breaking into bub- bles, under thé radiance of simulat- ed blue moonlight which flooded the stage. | + Ethel Barrymore headed a group of actresses who sold balloons, and Mra. Vincent Astor was among com- mittee members in charge of the affair, Harry Payne Whitney and W. Averell Harriman were among the box holders for the evening. The annual Beaux Arts ball, to be given by the Soclety of Beaux Arts Architects on January 25, promises this J:r‘ear in its portrayal of the Napolednic era to surpass previous balls in brilliance, Boclety figuratively has laid {its- self out for costumes. Although suitable ones may be purchased at the door for $100 on the night of the ball, many of those worn by the guests will cost hundreds of dollars, | are ordered from Paris months in advance, and are fashioned of the | richest silks and jewels. That to be worn by one woman of fashion is ornamented with 221 ermine tails. A deep well in which guests fish for everything from silk hose to cigarette lighters will be an enter- tainment feature of the Russian ball to be given on Thursday night, in ald of the Russian Church Assist- ance Fund. The ball, which was to bave taken place on January 7, was postponed because of the death of Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia, and the well is a substitute for the gift Christmas tree which was to have been a central figure of the | ball. Miss Natica de Acosta will be among the debutantes directing the efforts of those who fish for the gifts. Dancing competitions in the tango, fox-trot and waltz, and a Russian dagger dance by Captain Martinoff will be other entertain- ment features of the evening. The marriage of Miss Bessie Dew Martin and Frederic Bowe, Jr., at- tracted society to St. Thomas' church Monday afternoon. An inter- esting style note was struck by the bride in her choice of the ivory tone for her wedding ensemble instead of the once popular white, her gown was of ivory satin, combined ,with | Duchesse lace, and her bridal veil was of tulle held in place by a wreath of orange blossoms. She car- ried a bouquet of lilies of the valley and sweet peas. Her maid of honor. Miss Marjorie Bowne, wore a cos- tume of flame colored chiffon and a hat of silver lace and carried a bouquet of African daisies. - A jazz opera, contalning such un- usual operatic features as a wooden locomotive, a black face comedian hero and a jazz orchestra, is soci- | cty's latest choice as a charity bene- fit. onny Spielt Auf,” the new Krenek opera will be given Feryary 8, for the benefit of the Babies hos- pital.

Social New York donned its smartest frocks, selected its favorite dogs, came early and stayed late for the judging which began in the morning and continued into the evening.

It is not yet determined whether a protest will be made by Minority Leader Tobin of Waterbury, in the house over committee appointments for the democrats. It has beem cus- tomary for a democratic protest in that body but it has been many sessions since s0 vigorous a protest has been made in the senate as was | made by Benator Bergin, of New Haven, on Thurday. The late Sen- ator John Hurley, who was many times in the upper branch, used to rise to protest that the democrats ought to have been given better representation. But the point the republicans made was that there were not many democrats to whom committee appointments could bhe given, Last session there was only one and he, Benator Lawlor, went to six committees TERRIFIC WIND IN WEST TAKES LIVES (Continued from First Page) blocked by trees and telephone poles Mrs, Amos Newman was Killed in the second storm when her home was demolished.

Dispatches from Suchiate on the Guatemala bordér said General Jorge Ubico, one of three generals who overthrew the Carlos Herrera Bovernment six years ago, was at the head of the insurgents. Capture Towns The rebels captured the towns of Retalhuleu and Mazatanango, in the extreme northwest of the country. Communication with the capital at Guatemala city was cut off. All traffic over the border was stopped. General Ubico is a member of a wealthy Guatemala family and has heen prominent in the army for many years. After the Carlos Her- rera revolt he became minister of war and one of his allies, General Orellana, became president. The other general who joined in the re- volt, Miguel Larrabe, is now min- ister of war and on him probably will fall the duty of suppressing his erstwhile ally. When President Orellana died on September 26, 1926, General Ubico was one of those who sought the presidency. The choice, however, fell on General Lazaro Chacon, who was elected for a full term on Oec- cember 5, 1926. Last September President Chacon suspended constitutional guarartees for six months, an action tanta- mount to the establishment of mar- tial law. The reason advanced for this step was the claim that the op- | position was engaged in seditious | activities. The Guatemala winister to Wash- | ington in October made public a | communication from the minister | of foreign affairs which said, | “Guatemala enjoys undisturbed in- ternal peace and order prevails throughout the country. Not a single citizen has been imprisoned for political reasons.” Guatemalans in Mexico City said the revolt had been expected in view of the dissatisfaction of certain army leaders. The newspaper El Universal com- menting on the triumvirate of Gen- erals Ubico, Orellana and Larrave said that at the time of their coup d'etat in 1922 they agreed to suc- ceed one &nother as heads of the government, each holding office one term, Tbico Dissatistied General Orellana's death before his term expired resulted in the election of the presidency of Gen- eral Chacon who compromised with Larrave giving him the portfolio of minister of war. General Ubico, thus stripped of one ally by death and the other by compromise, be- came disssatisfied. The paper added that it was be- ileved that President ¢hacon launched a campaign to make Gen- eral Ubico unpopular among the | people with the result that the gen- eral took the field against the gov- ernment.

I also wish to make it clear that it is untrue that General Bramwell Booth has control of the Army's properties and other assets in America. It is well known that the Balvation Army in America is an in- corporated body under'the laws of various states in which it works and that all assets in the army in America are held by trustees under those corporations.” Speaking of Commissioner Haines, she said "he died as a martyr in a noble cause.” City Items New classes now forming &t the Connecticut Business College.—advt.
