GRIDIRON CLUB 'ROASTS' GUESTS SILVER DINNER IS GIVEN BY NOTED ORGANIZATION TAFT AND MANY FAMED IN STATE ARE PRESENT .. Roosevelt, Cannon and Insurgents Are Grilled Especially by Funmak. ers—Trusts Come in for Their Share of Ridicule WASHINGTON, Feb. s—The Grid- Iron club gives two dinners each year, and It happened the one given tonight at the New Wlllard was the silver din ner—marking the twenty-fifth anni versary of the foundation of the club. Wherefor there was a great gathering of notables president, cabinet of ficers, ambassadors, jurists, grave and reverend senators, frivolous represen tatives in congress and a number of simple newspaper men fathered from many states of the Union. Each and all bore oft a remembrance of the happy event in the shape of a souvenir silver ash receiver, crossed by the mystic gridiron. The fun started almost as soon as the guests were seated with a tangle over the inauguration of the new pres ident of the club—Scott C. Bone, editor of the Washington Herald—for enter ing lnopportunately. On the scene EI Presldente Zelaya, with his army, composed of half a dozen generals in Falstaffian uniforms, and one lone pri vate. Zelaya, looking for a job, had picked out the presidency of the Grid- Iron club as suitable, and was ejected only by the threat that Secretary Knox was approaching. Scarcely had peace and quiet been restored when another Interruption came, when to the strains of the "Marsellaise" entered the "Back from Elba club," clad in Napoleonic uni forms, and Including personifications of public men who have been identified by common report with the movement to return Roosevelt to the White House. The "big stick" figured in this, and ln the fierce glare of the electric light and in defiance of all rules of secret orders, and In the presence of several hundred "Outlanders," were dragged forth and duly Initiated the two unfor tunate neophytes of the Gridiron cl b, George Edmund i Miller, resident cor respondent of the Detroit News, and John Callan O'Laughlin of the Chicago Tribune. They were made to forswear all of the policies of their respective newspapers and to pledge themselves to be on the pier to welcome "The Only One" when he returned from Africa— all this to the chant of "When Teddy Comes Sailing Home Again, Hurrah!" The insurgents got their grilling, too, when between courses was ren dered an affecting scene from "Uncle Tom's Cabin," for this occasion de scribed as .."Uncle Joe's Cabin, or Life Among the Insurgents." A presentment of Speaker Cannon was the clever lawyer, Marks: an other ow Whip Dwight was the brutal overseer Legree, and various promi nent insurgents figured as Uncle Tom and his fellow slaves and Little Eva." They were roughly treated, told that they had been deprived of all patron "age, and their appeals to the speaker to "resign" were met by demands for their return to the Republican caucus. - Finally put on the block at auction in a dubious market, the Democrats and Republicans alike holding off from the bidding, the sale was stopped by orders from the White House in the shape of an emancipation proclama tion, in order to secure party harmony. If the insurgents were grilled, the trusts were fairly roasted in another skit portraying the "Infant Industries" —the lumber, whisky, beef, coal and tobacco trusts— seeking protection from a number of ugly-looking customers Identified as "The Ultimate Consum ers." This was a verse from one of the chants of the trust magnates, to the air of a popular song: . Hasn't Any Other Place to Go "Oh, the ultimate consumer always has to come to us, ...'Cause he hasn't any other place to go. He will rise in indignation; he win make an awful fuss,! 'Cause he hasn't any other place to go. \ Why are all our guests assembled here ■ tonight In glad array? Why do congressmen keep coming to our city, day by day? Why did Roosevelt grab a gun and beat it clear to Afrlcay? 'Cause he hadn't any other place . to go." ." The new order of things in the state department was disclosed in a skit il lustrative of a gathering of Secretary Knox and his faithful assistants and bureau chiefs of recent creation. There was an under secretary and a secre tary of "near-sighted affairs" and one of "far-sighted affairs" and there was a wonderful exhibition of "shirt-sleeve diplomacy," resulting In the summary settlement of the Nicaraguan question and tho Chinese railroad imbroglio and other matters that have engaged the attention of the diplomatic branch of the government of the past few months. Among the guests were President Taft, Vice President Sherman, the Chi nese minister. Senators Bourne of Ore gon, Carter of Montana and, Guggen heim of Colorado, RepreSentitives Clark of Missouri, Rucker of Colorado, J. A. Dreckons of Cheyenne, Wyo.; L. R.

RAILROAD MEN IN MEXICO FAVOR RESIGNING IN BODY LAREDO, Texas, Feb. Reports from the committee of trainmen that is engaged in a canvass of engineers and conductors to ascertain whether the men will "resign" In a body show that thus far the opinion is almost unanimous in favor of resigning. A committeeman said yesterday that some native employes are joining the Americana and have resigned and will leave for the United States. This step ls taken because of fear that the Mexican government might compel them to work, It being alleged the government might resort to the use of troops should pending differences assume a more critical stage.
