White House restricts night access for newspaper men
Washington secretary Loeb announced new rules barring newspaper men from congregating in White House rounds after nightfall and from lingering at the door for interviews with visitors. The policy aims to avoid interference with late visitors while allowing questions at the door. In New York, William A. Brewer, former president of the Washington Life Insurance Co, indicted for perjury and false statements, tentatively offered a guilty plea on the latter charge. Assistant DA Nott opposes a fine, arguing a prison term is deserved. Washington news notes report the president and entire official family absent from the capital for the first time in years, with cabinet members joining the James town exposition. Secretary Wilson to Pittsburg, Root to Clinton NY, Taft to New York and Boston, and Bonaparte to Boston.
