Newspaper Men at Capital Drop

WASHINGTON, d. c., July s.
Washington correspondents have a lit

calling upon any of the officials of the
government for assistance. Something
more than a year ago the Iroquois club
was organized. 1t was understood to be
club that would be composed almost
entirely of newspaper men. but it soon
developed that it was an ordinary
drink club, formed to effect an evasion
of the midnight closing order in Wash
ington. The membership ran up to
several hundred, including congress-
men, officers of the army and navy, and
representatives of that great army OF
officials in Washington. Representa-
tive Butler, CT st. Louis. was one OF

tory, but was asked to resign after
having started a row in the place one
night. The newspaper men withdrew
from the organization, until now there
are less than dozen correspondents
on the membership roll. Business got
little dull few days ago and the
manager of the club sent letters to
congressman throughout the country
making a cold blooded appeal for FUNDS
to keep the club going. Senator Scott,
of West Virginia, sent his check for
500, and it fell into the hands of
newspaper correspondent who is an
officer Of the club. He promptly start
ed an inquiry, which developed the
scheme. Senator SCOTS check was re-
turned to him and the newspaper con-
tingent has withdrawn from tine club.
The manager of the club explained
his action by the simple statement that
he needed the money.
