Little Poker in Washington.

washington 4 oSl.I
It was formerly quite the thing to
tell stories about big poker games
among the members of congress-. Much
was said about the senatorial game, +"
"millionaires' game" and the CON
gressional game" and always we heard
about great punches of money chang
ing hands, bluffs as high as the banks
of the Mississippi. and all sorts OF stor-
les.
Frequently the senator, representa-
tive, diplomat or rich man was named,
and the winnings or losses told with as
much gusto as if they had really hap
pened. There were some pleasant
poker games in days gone by, and oc-
casionally some wonderful plays, but
one night, with few interesting Incl
dents furnished material for month
of stories.
Some of those who figured in the
poker stories became annoyed at the
notoriety they gained and abandoned
poker entirely. For many years now
there has not been enough poker in the
capital to hang a story on.

FUNK DENIES RUMOR
Says There is No Truth in Statement
That the Iowa Falls Road Has De-
cided on tho Charles City Rather
Than tho Mason City Extension.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, March 29.-When shown
a certain item from an Iowa daily this
morning; Secretary j. II. Funk, of the
Des Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern
road, denied the truth of the article
in toto. The item in question says that
u. S. Ellsworth, president of the
road, who is at present in Florida, Is
authority for the statement that the
Iowa Falls road had decided on the
Charles City rather than the Mason
City extension and that a location sur
vey 10 miles in length has been made.
1t is further stated that bids for con-
struction have been invited and that
the Globe Construction Company of
Chicago has been awarded the first
fifty miles.
Mr.. Funk said there was not the
first element of truth in these state
ments and that they We're news to
the board of directors. So far as can
be learned no surveys have been made
to either Mason City or Charles City
and outside of the directory no one
appears to know the true objective
point of this extension which the
stockholders decided to make at their
annual meeting in December. When
pressed for a statement as to the flu
ture plans of the company. Mr.. Funk
was very reticent and declined to talk
on the subject. 1t is now thought that
no active steps will be taken on the
extension until Mr.. Ellsworth returns
from the south. This may not be un-
til May 1.
