from which we quote below, Is prompt
to acknowledge It's error. Ii SAYS:

house on 18th street, near Arlington
hotel, for headquarters. No matters
Of legislation were discussed, but some
time was devoted TO the question Of
having wine in tie rooms. There was
a strong sentiment against anything
that looked like congressional bar,
but yet there was decided talk in favor
Of having such wines rs the gentle
men want to entertain with.
Congressman Picker paid: While
be was a political prohibitionist aud
came from prohibition state be was
not narrow.minded enough TO deny
the others anything they desired; be
thought 1t would he better TO have
drinks in another building where the
members could procure them. IL would
sound better among their constituents;
administration bars had been adver..
tised at the Shoreham.
