‘SNOW BABY/ DAUGHTER OF FINDER
DEBUT)
Marie Peary to Have Her ‘‘Com
ing Out” at National Capital
on January 22.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.—Interest
to-day centers in the coming' recep
tion on January 22 to be given by
Admiral Robert Peary, discoverer of
the North Pole, and Mrs. Peary, at
which their daughter, Marie, known
the world over as “Anighito,” the
“Snow Baby,” will make her debut.
Coupled with news of the coming-
out party of the young woman, who
recently graduated from Western
High School, in Georgetown, was the
report that announcement of her en
gagement would shortly be made by
her parents.
Her engagement to Donald B. Mc
Millan, leader of the Crocker Island
expedition and intimate friend of her
father, was made last summer, but
promptly denied by both Miss Peary
and McMillan.
“Anighito” was the name given by
the Eskimos to Miss Peary following
her birth on September 12, 1893. at
her father’s winter quarters at Bow-
doin Bay, in the Arctic. She was the
first white child in history to be born
in the frozen North.
"Snow Baby's” parents kept her in
the Northland until she was 2 years
old, the terrible cold and long spells
of darkness not in the least deter
ring her growth. She has returned
thrice to the Arctic, and has many
recollections of the stirring episodes
which marked her early life in that
section of the world.
When her father returned from his
last and which proved to be his suc
cessful ‘juest for the pole “Snow Ba
by” journeyed to Cape Breton with
her mother to greet him, and returned
with him to this city.

TOKIO, Dec. 26.—As the climax of
a popular demonstration over Fran
cisco De La Barra. Mexico's special
envoy to Japan, resolutions were
adopted at a great mass meeting con
demning the United States for “dis
criminating” against Mexico and de
manding that Japan refuse to par
ticipate in the Panama-Pacific Ex
position.
The demonstrations followed the
opening of the Diet by Emperor
Yoshihito with a speech in which he
announced that friendly relations ex
isted with all the powers, hut em
phasized the strength of the Anglo-
Japanese alliance.
After the Diet had adjourned a
great torchlight procession was form
ed in the streets by the classes that
have made De La Barra a hero and
marched to the envoy’s hotel. There,
after a serenade, members of Parlia
ment and other leaders of the anti-
American protest personally welcom
ed Senor lie La Barra. They pre
sented him with a sword of honor,
which he accepted briefly, and then
the envoy called for cheers for the
Emperor and his nation.
Then the procession went to the
Mexican legation, before which the
mass meeting was held.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 26.—The city
of Torreon has been captured by the
rebels, according to reports current in
Government circles at noon to-day.
Large forces of Federals and reb
els are fighting a battle a few miles
from Saltillo, according to advices
received here to-day. This is be

directions, according to reports re
ceived here this afternoon. Many
Government soldiers at Tuxpam have

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26—Atlanta
was proposed to Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo to-day by Senator
Hoke Smith as a regional reserve
bank city in the South. The indorse
ment was placed on file for further
consideration.

with instant approval. It dominates
the entire country along the eastern
seaboard up to North Carolina; west
into Tennessee, and along the gulf to
the West Alabama boundary line. Its
growing ocean trade with New Eng
land and with the South American
countries makes it a desirable locality
for a regional reserve city.”
