The niceties of diplomatic etiquette were religiously observed in the duct of that part of the reception which has grown during the past hun dred years and more to partake large­ ly of the nature of an official function. In this way, but without appearance of prearrangenient, the president greet­ ed first the vice president and the members of his cabinet, then each for­ eign nation represented in the person of ambassador or minister; the judici­ ary, through the personnel of the su­ preme court bench and the judges of the local federal and district courts; senators and representatives in con­ gress; officers of the army, navy, ma­ rine corps and militia of the District of Columbia; heads of government bureaus, and members of government Commissions; organizations of vet­ erans, and Oldest Inhabitants' asso­ ciation of the District of Columbia. Public There In a Throng. Then came the public gathering in a constantly lengthening line at the west gate of the White House grounds, the people had stood since nine o'clock in the morning. It was one o'clock when the. gates were opened to admit them. The line, kept intact by a special de­ tail of police, now extended in double column for two blocks up Pennsylvania avenue and for two blocks down Sev­ enteenth street past the state, war and navy building. It was a joyous holiday throng and left its impress of good feeling on the president, who, after more than four hours of hand­ shaking, expressed exhili ration rather than exhaustion. Three members of the recent Cen­ tral American peace conference, who still remain In the city, were specially invited guests, including Senor Don Policarpo Bonilla, ex-president of Honduras; Senor Don E. Constantino Fiallos, minister of foreign affairs of Honduras, and senor Don Jose Madriz of Nicaragua, secretary to the confer­ ence. W. W. Rockhill, United States minister to China, also was in attend­ ance. Assistant Secretaries Bacon, Adee and Wilson occupied themselves actively in entertaining the diplomats. Admiral Dewey, who has just passed his seventieth birthday, headed the naval contingent, and was heartily greeted by the president. Admiral Browmon Calls. Rear Admiral Brownson was one of the first officers of the navy to greet President Roosevelt. To do this he left his place in the line as soon as he entered the White House and made his way through the crowd and into the red parlor, passing Rear Admiral Rixey and taking his place immediate­ ly after the army officers who pre­ ceded the navy. Admiral Brownson's hand was grasped by several of his brother officers as he was making his way ahead of them. After his greeting to the president, which was cordial, he remained in the east room for some time chatting and receiving greetings. President Roosevelt took occasion in his New Year's greeting to Dr. Starr, who has just celebrated his one hun­ dredth birthday anniversary, to con­ gratulate the veteran member, of the Oldest Inhabitants' association and wish him many returns of the day. "You, sir, have seen the growth of this republic," said the president as he recognized Dr. Starr, and recalled his previous New Year's visits. Dr. Starr made an earnest reply, whereupon the president remarked: "Any word from you, sir, will receive instant consideration." Secretary Cortelyou, who has been confined to his home for some time past with an attack of the grip, had so far recovered as to be able to attend the reception. He was warmly greet­ ed by the president and his fellow cab­ inet members. Shakes Hands 5,645 Times. The last person in the line, a news­ paper man, asked the president if he was tired. "Not a bit," he replied, laughing. Just then Chief Usher Stone informed the president that he had shaken hands 5,645 times. Be­ yond another laugh the president made no answer. Throughout the long reception Mrs. Roosevelt and the ladies of the cabi­ net stood with the president in the blue room. They appeared to be not fatigued by the ordeal. The reception terminated at 1:57 p. m. From Newsboy to Judge. St. Louis.--Gov.

The town of Russellville, which was raided by nightriders early in the morning, was quiet at night, but the sheriff and his deputies, the police and the citizens were on the, alert to prevent any repetition of the outrages. . It was decided by the peace officers and the leading citizens in view of the1 improbability of another raid that the: governor would not bet?) asked for troops. State Fire Marshal Mott Ayres, however, is on his way to Rus­ sellville and will begin an immediate investigation of Thursday night's rak| which resulted in the shooting of three men by the riders, the burning of two tobacco warehouses and % planing mill and the partial destra<>. tion of three smaller buildings. The county judge and court officials noti­ fied Gov. Willson that a special t^rm of court will be called to consider the evidence brought out by the investiga­ tion and that extraordinary, efforts will be made to apprehend and punish the guilty parties. The most disturbing news of the day, following, as it did, on the heels of the Russellville raid, was the fail­ ure of the Burley Tobacco society and the chief twyers for the American To­ bacco compl|^ to agree regarding the marketing of the 1907 crop held by the society. The parties met at Winches­ ter in accordance with the terms of a compromise agreemept recently brought about by Gov. Willson. The Burley men wanted the company to buy 60,000 hogsheads of tobacco from them, .while the buyers would agree to take but 10,000 hogsheads. The Burley men consented to sell the smaller amount. The tobacco ha^/al- ready been inspected and graded. The Burley men fixed a minimum price of 15 cents a pound. The company buy­ ers refused to give more than 12 cents. * TIRED YARMOUTH.

Hanly Orders Battery and Twelve Companies of Infantry to Help Suppress Riots. Muncie, Ind. -- At a conference Friday night between Adjt. Gen. Perry, Mayor Guthrie, the sheriff, city officials and several prominent citi­ zens, it was decided to ask Gov. Hanly to send state troops here at once. When the day's work was. ended many of the policemen Who had been on constant duty for 48 hours lay down on the station floor and fell asleep. The majority of the special men who had been sworn in refused to serve longer. As a result Gen. Perry telephoned Gov. Hanly details of the situation and he promptly ordered out battery A and four companies of Indianapolis in­ fantry and eight companies from other cities in the state. The understanding was that martial law is not to be pro­ claimed unless necessary, the duty of the troops being to work in conjunc­ tion with the police in maintaining or­ der. The troops will be brought by special cars. Rioting waB resumed Friday. Cars started to run on regular schedule without interruption and were not mo­ lested for several hours. A crowd at­ tacked two cars in the outskirts of the city, hurling stones and other missiles, and after driving off the crews com­ pletely wrecked the cars. Squads of police were hurried to the place and over 50 arrests were made. The jail is nearly filled with rioters, and or­ ders were repeated to arrest every member of a street gathering that con­ tained more than three persons. There was no attempt at violence in the downtown sections of the city. Two of the rioters were badly hurt, one of them being cut in the throat with a knife, but not fatally hurt Harry Thaw's Sister Asks for Annul­ ment of Marriage.

Thaw, whose second trial for the murder of Stanford White will begin next Monday in New York city, ap­ plied to the divorce court for an an­ nulment of her marriage to the earl of Yarmouth. The court hits ordered that the pro­ ceedings be held In camera and the papers are being kept secret. The only Inkling obtainable of the charges preferred is a statement to the effect that the nature of the medical evi­ dence to be given makes a publio hearing inadvisable. It has been well known fdr two yearg that the domestic affairs of the Yarmouths were most unhappy. The earl's companions and his manner of living were such that he could not give his wife the position in society she had a right to expect. She sup­ plied immense sums to defray her hu«^ band's extravagances, and her friends say she has conducted herself with dignity throughout the troubles re­ sulting from the unhappy marriage and her brother's difficulties.

Five protesting tenants, somewhat battered, were arrested. The offending decorations were re­ moved.
