"What's that?" nald President Little. "PafHni; the buck to the man hlcher tip, who Is necr found," said the po Herman. The Amen wxtet, composed of young uin who liave positively the vrnrht voices In the wholo club, sane "Kntoren Into Host" to the air of "Where the IMver Shannon Flown." This mournful ditty was nbotit the grnml old party. U'nnitntn- Wilson Citmrn fn. Cheerlnis next brought thn dinner to a full Htop. People leaped to their feet In great excitement. The spare llctire. of Woodrow Wilson was seen nppronch lnjs the elevated seat of President Lit tle. The Amen Club had sent for Presi dent Wilson and his whole Cabinet, and when Wilson entered alone thorn wna some surprise. Then thorn was a loud noise at the door. William .1. Hrynn (Harold McD. Anderson) charged up the aisle shaklns tils llt. He leaped to the platform nnd the Ameners listened to this dlaloRiie: Hrun Hold on, hold on. Here I nm.

Miizer. After telling his hosts that he hnd been thoroughly entertained, he sild: llson A cocked hat. A little after 10 o'clock there was a tremendous commotion at the main en trance. President Little discovered that the Investigating commltteo which hnd been appointed to discover how the I country was governed was ready to re port. lYosldent Little askd Hrnthers Fitzgerald, Ollroy anil Smith If they had spoken to Mayor Oiaynor about graft In the Police Department. "Oh, yes," said Chairman Fitzgerald, "the Mayor said he thought the depart ment had graft well In hand." "What did Mr. Whitman say on the subject?" "He said he could prove the Mayor was right." The committee reported that there was no money trust because they had Itarned from tho men who controlled thn trust that there was no such thing. They had found out that Mr. Morgan did loan on character nnd that that was why It tnkes such a lot of collateral. The committee reported that Charles V. Murphy Is going to start an Inves tigation soon to find out whether or not Gov. Sulzer la really the State leader. Perhaps the most amusing stunt of the evening was Inaugurated when Gov. Hulzer (or at least a mighty good makeup of tho Governor) entered the room with his military secretary. Swinging his arms, Sulzer broke Into an u!d time oration, part of which was: "I love the Amen Corner and the Amen Corner loves me. I know the newspaper men and the newspaper men are on to me. I thank them for whnt they've written aliout me. They have my eternal i irnitltudn for what they've refrained from They ea 1 seldom -mile, but I want ur,tmg about nw. you to know that I'm having the time of . Mv KU,)tne tlir.

The programme which began at 1 P M lasted tint. I midnight. Ilm-bet DUtttrh Diners. Tho guests had barely settled In their seats to admire the brilliant legenil "The People's llou'-e. ' which flamed In elec tric lishls a foot high over the speakers' table when there was a racket outsldo tho main ei.tianco to the grand ball room. Pistol shooting, yelling and stamping of feet disturbed the banquet ers. President Little called upon Ilrother Hill Leary to explain the disturbance. "That's Julius Harlnirger taking a For many ears I have attended con ventions, sought nomination and got loud laughs. Why. the only time I over board .Murphy laugh out loud was when 1 would tell him that I was a candidate for Gov ernor. 1 never realized until now the force of the old saying that he who laughs last laughs best." The Ameners sang some more songs at the Governor, who seemed to enjoy the Joshing and the horseplay Im mensely. I'olltlrlnna In P.rlilenee. Among the merrymakers at table A were Secretary Tom Smith of Tammany Hall, Robert Adamson, tho Mayor's secretary, lternnrd M, Baruch, Treas urer Philip F. Donohuo of Tammany, Leader Murphy himself.

Announcement In the Jewtsh Untlv foruxtrtl that the strike of the garment workers had been declared off without j the formality of a referendum ote tilled the radical element of tho strikers with wrath yesterday. They read the terms , of settlement In the J'onrarJ and a ' crowd of malcontents licgan to gather at J the newspaper building, 175 East Hroad- 1 way, as early as 7 A. M. j They demanded that the rortcor got out an extra without delay declaring that the agreement was repudiated by the strikers. The managers said they had no men on hand to get out the pro- . posed extra. Policemen scattered tho crowd, but the strikers came back at In- tcrvals to renew their demand, only to be again driven awa They gathered i In force ih Seward Park and shouted 1 that the strikers were soid out.

East Hroadway In the vicinity of the i'onrnicf building was black with people and not less than 10, UU0 made a rush for the place. The plate glass doors were smashed and the crowd surged Into the building, smash ing any windows In sight and throwing furniture around. They found the manager of the paper and demanded to know why he allowed an article to appear stating that the strike was ttled and congratulated the strikers on a settkment In which they had no voice. The reserves from tho Miullson street station arrived and dispersed the crowd. The strikers met at Coper I'nlon In diminished numbers nnd held a meet ing later In tho Stuyvesant Casino, where resolution. were passed repudi ating the settlement of the strike. ,Some paper hy mistake said that Joseph S. Marcus, president of tho Public Rank, at Ludlow and Delancey istreets, had brought about the sttle mcnt Instead of Marcus M. Marks of the conciliation committee of the Civic Federation. Several hundred men and women gathered at the Public Hank, hooting and shouting. Strike leaders hurried to the place and tho crowd dis persed on learning tlut Hanker Murcus had nothing 10 do with the matter. While these events were occurring the Brotherhood of Tallotv, th" largest union Involved In tho strike, had cir culars printed repudiating the strike settlement and calling on the strikers to keep up tho fight until thn union wa ivcognlzed. The Fonrard building again was In vaded by a mob late In the afternoon nd tho nwrves had to be Kent for a I'ocond time. At 6 P. M. the rnrunrtl came out with an extra stating that tho strikers woro still out nnd would remain out until the union was rocognlzed. Ircslilent Thomas A, Rlckcrt of t:he United Garment Workers said lat eve. nlng that thn beihavlor of thn crowd on East Broadway would not affect the situation. Ho added. "Tho trouble was stirred up by an archists nnd malcontents.
