Senator Grills Capi tal Men Good Naturedly, But Admits Liking Them. In good humored raillery. Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi grilled the members of the "Washing ton Traffic Club last night at the an nual dinner of that organization, at Which he was the principal speaker. Senator Williams declared that In spite of the fact that the American railroads killed more people than war did and charged mors for short hauls than for Jong hauls, In his" opinion- they did pretty well, and he had a positive lik ing for the transportation men In gen eral and the Washington traffic men In particular. A feature of the dinner was the "Washlnfton Traffic Club Short Line" railroad. A train on this road, consist ing of a Pullman and an observation car, ran up and down the toastmaster's table and stopped at the plate of the speaker next to be called on. A con-ductor-brakeman-porter, all In one, with lantern and flag, had charge of the train. Before the speaking was over the duties of this official became so ar duous that he threatened to strike. A compromise was effected, hdwever, and the service continued. Advises High Ideals. Odell S. Smith, of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company, was the first speaker. In answer to the ques tion. "Why Am I Here?" Mr. Smith gave several explanations as to his presence and then drew from beneath the table a manuscript which he said contained but 600 pages and which he believed lie -could read in three hours, at least. When the members discovered that the pages were blank a slirh of re llei was heard all over the room. Mr. Smith, after the pleasantries were over, spoke in serious vein, declaiming I hat the young railroad men of today would be the railroad leaders of tha next-decade, and advising them all to nit . thrlr wagons to stars and work -with t. highest Ideals possible. Ideals, 1. SH'd. were the foundation of any injstn. and the man 'with Ideals and Wear wss bound to succeed of he worked as the members of the traffic club wor&ed. -oCKtaima.n Campbell of Kansas def ended vthe railroads from the good humored attacks of the Senator 'rom HUs.sslppI, saying that when he thougbt of the hard times the early rci roaders had In the West when they atoned- io) build, and when he remem bered the improvement they brought to the West, he could never find It in his heart "to cuss them."

More than 100 Scotchmen, inspired by a "wee nipple" of hot Scotch, a plate of haggis, and plenty of Burns' I reminiscences, made their exit from ratuecuer s ai an euro iiour toaay. inis exit followed the stag banquet which once had threatened to split the St. Andrew's Society. No fair maids pf Dundee, or Wash ington, for that matter, attended that dinner last night. It was strictly male and all because some of the society wanted a drap of, "auld Scotch." The only thing feminine about the affair was now and then a stray thought for the wife and bairns at home. Here and there a guest surreptitiously put! a piece of white heather in his pocket and ordered the waiter to bring a wee bit more o' the oatcake so that the bonnlc lass at home might have a me mento.

Men, who never before had tasted the deli cious brew of the land of Burns, de clared that It was a most wonderful digestive tonic It soothed them, and warmed their ihearts for the poetic speeches after dinner. And never a man there had aught to say against the stag banquet "A woman Is only a woman, but gude auld Scutch Is a drink" was the slogan of the sight. So the women were barred. Haggis, a dish related to American hash, but containing oatmeal all cooked In the stomach of a sheep was one of the features of the splendid din ner.

Jjhn Anderson of Baltimore, Thom as Evans Greene and Richard Backing sang the lilting melodies of Burns, whose birthday the society was observ ing. Harry w.
