BURLEsoUE AT oRlDIRoN CLUB
Governor Maeoon on Red Hot Stove
Roosevelt a Guest.

Washington, Dec. 9.-With the
president and vice president, the am
bassadors from Italy, Great Britain,
Russia and Japan, the speaker of the
house of representatives, senators, rep
resentatives in congress and many OF
the great captains of industry present,
the twenty-third annual dinner Of the
Gridiron club tonight at the New Will
lard marked the high tide of the clubs
achievements, Satire, burlesque and
straight comedy were the dominating
notes in the most successful dinner
this famous club Of Washington cor
respondents has ever given. There
were sharp contrasts, the tribute to
dead members of the club abutting
closely upon a burlesque Cuban revo-
luton and an exempliflcation of what
happens in the lawn tennis cabinet"
which meets with the president every
day, Sunday excepted.
In the Cuban burlesque, a member
of the club impersonated Governor
Magoon of Cuba Sitting on red hot
stove. he "held down the lid" while
the club selected a cabinet for him
composed of the "lame ducks" gentle
men who failed of election in Novem-
Der, club members impersOnating Will
liam Randolph Hearst, who was nom
mated for governor Of the island; Mr..
Babcock Mr.. Moody, Mr.. McCleary and
Governor Grosvenor Mr.. Moody was
selected for the place of trust buster
or trust matador,' the Cuban revolu-
tionists insisting that Mr.. Moody was
not trust matador," but 'picador, y
the difference being that matador
kills. while the picador only leases.
Probably the strongest feature OF the
dinner was the Gridiron simple
speller" and dictionary" which was
issued in the form Of a booklet OF
some 40 pages, containing quaint spell
ings and cuts illustrating the defni-
tons.
The initiation of two members gave
an opportunity for a quiet dig at the
war department for the discharge OF
three colored companies of the TWEEN
ty-ffth infantry at Brownsville, Tex.

Colorado Is the State of vast indi-
vidual fortunes, outranking any other
State In the Union on per capita ba-
ais 1t has the further distinction that
most of It's vast fortunes were made
within It's boundaries not alone IN min
ing but In the cattle industry, in realty
speculation, In fruit, sugar beet cul-
turs, potato farming and In manufac-
turing and other mercantile pursuits.
Many people OF wealth have moved
into the State In the last few years
and invested large sums In mining cor
other enterprises, and are not indiyid-
ually known to the commercial agen-
eles. Still another class represent the
retired country capitalist who has
moved from the section In which his
wealth was acquired to Denver or Col
orado Springs His Individual hold
ings, too, unless they are In realty, are
necessarily hidden from the regular
commercial information sources.
Who is the richest man in Colorado2
David Moffat, capitalist, OF Denver.
The most conservative estimate Of S15,-
100000 was given by two persons Who
would naturally be expected to rxag-
gerate Mr.. Moffat's wealth On the
other hand, from those nearest him,
those who ought to know and yet
would not ALLOW an exaggerated esti-
mate to be given out, the estimate was
between $25, 100000 and $30,0O0,000.
giving him an easy lead in the Color
ado list.
There are 108 mllllonaires, and II to
these could be added the names Of those
who have left Colorado after making
fortunes 1t could easily be doubled.
The total wealth of the 108 million
aires of Colorado aggregates about
$500, 100000. There is probably no sec
ton of the world with n population OF
less than 100000 that can show such
home production Of wealth.
