Washington, Dec 15.—It is fully
expected that within the next few
days announcement will be made
from the White House of the engage
ment of Miss Alice Roosevelt, the
eldest daughter of the President, to
Nicholas Longworth, a member of
Congress from Cincinnati.
At the White House today noth
ing In confirmation or denial of the
report that the young people are en
gaged would be given. Heretofore,
however, while official notice of such
a report was not given, those at the
White House, who generally speak
authoritatively on domestlo affairs,
did not hesitate to say there was no
engagement
No Longer Denied.
The refusal of anyone In a posi
tion to know the facts to deny or
confirm the engagement story leads
to the general belief throughout of
ficial society that the charming
young daughter of the President and
the wealthy and popular ydnSg Cong
ressman have plighted their troth

More than one third of the total
number of Illicit distilleries destroyed
1,053, were In Georgia, and more than
half the persons arrested for viola
tions of the Internal revenue laws
were Georgians, the total number of
arrests made being 1,045.
