Nov. 7. In Washington society during the week "the dominant thought was the result of the election. To this every other inteVest was subservient. The majority of social masculine leaders were out of town until the middle of the week and there was little if any entertainment.

The President and Mrs. Roosevelt went on to Oyster Bay for Tuesday, where the President voted.1 for his friend, Mr. Taft. Miss Ethel Roosevelt went on to Tuxedo the week-end guest of Mrs. Charles Alexander.

From there went to Avon, X. for visit with Mrs. Herbert Wadsvvorth. The election of Mr. Taft has caused! more than a ripple of interest in social life here, where a new President brings many new personalities into prominence, With Mrs.

Taft as first there will be much the same social regime that has existed for the past eight years with Mrs. Roosevelt as hostess. In many respects Mrs. Taft resembles Mrs. Roose- velt.

She is a woman of culture, of wide travel and of many distinctly American qualities. Charming Conversationalist While she is not a bookish woman nor jet a college graduate, she is well read 11 and has the charm rom-fmtionallv of for- getting her own personality her inter est in those with whom she is talking.

His enti.e left side is affected and he has been unconscious since the attack. Because of lax methods, aileeed to have beu employed by Mayor Stiles in the keeping of the record of tines imposed by him upon offenders, the Finance Committee of City Councils last night took steps to make a com)e-te investigation of the police court records. Mayor Stiles, it was stated, refused to turn his books over to City Controller James Hauscian for an audit, and when City Clerk Joseph Schmidt, whose duty "it is to keep the accounts, was asked by the Finance Committee to explain his methods he stated that after the police court bearings he is dismissed and that the Mayor keeps his own record.

SEATTLE. Wash. Nov. 7. The schooner Sophia Johnson, Thomas P.

tjuinn. captain, is from a summer cruite in the Arctic Ocean and along the Siberian coart, bringing with her a cargo valued at The little vessel had forty tons of products of the North for exhibition at the Eskimo village, which is to be one of the ftaturvs of the Exposition. This paraphernalia consist of the huts, sleds and outfit of the natives who were recently brought to Seattle by A. M. Baber, who has the concession.

The consignment landed by the Sophia Johnson includes pokes of pure seal oil, ivory, curio, huts, walrus skins and tuk dog sleds, tent poles, fishing' gear. bearskins, four cases of walrus ivory, 1000 sealskins, and everything else to complete the Siberian village, which will be set up in the fair grounds just as it was on the frigid shores of Asia. One valuable curiosity is a large mastodon tusk highly colored. The furs and oil are of particular value. The Sophia Johnson came down from Nome in twentv-four days, but she would have made much better time had she not been caught in the equinoctial gales for eight days.

In the North Pacific the little schooner was tossed and buffeted in terrific storms for more than a week, but she. rode out the gales like the tine vessel that she is, and arrived in safety. Captain Quinn states that the wind shifted from northeast around to southwest, blowing with cyclonic force. Leaving Seattle June 8, the Sophia Johnson has had an adventurous cruise. En route north she stopped at the Priby-lof Islands, where moving pictures of the seal herds were taken.

On July 13, when in the northern part of Bering ea. the schooner sailed through five miles of ice, completing the run to Nome in thirty davs. Vhile en route back to Nome the schooner's crew shot a huge polar bear which was swimming at sea miles from land and a long distance from the ice. It was in a strong wind that the bear was seen the night. The vessel almost ran oylr him.

and as she was steered alongside the animal raised up and growled menacingly. With heavy weather it was impossible to take the polar alive, so he was shot. He weighed about TOO pounds, and it was a hard task to pull luui uui. oi tne water, lhe bear skin is one of the finest possible specimens. Medical Graduates Elect Special to The Inquirer.
