PRESIDENT AND CANAL
ON THE GR|D|R0N
Continued From First Page.

to get a corps Of engineers. Four ex-
perts were brought in. They were all
chiefs. One was chief engineer, an
other a chief commissary, another a
chief amusement provider,, and the
fourth chief sanitary officer. They
were covered with medals. :
The canal expert was the hit of the
evening. He qualified as an expert be-
cause he always stuck to theories and
had no use for facts. The whole thing
was settled finally by the entrance of a
club member who declared that he
would dig the canal himself. He was
dressed in blue shirt and overalls and
carried pick. He told how he would
do it in parody on Drill, Ye Tarriers,
Drill,' with a vociferous accompani-
ment that brought every guest to stand
ing up. AS he sang the last chorus the
room was darkened and the completed
Gridiron canal, fine concreted affair,
was thrown on the canvas. A battle
ship was shown coming thru, towed by
couple Of mules driven by President
Roosevelt, bent with age and wearing a
long gray beard.
A series of short skits led up to this
elimination. A club member came in
and made bonfire of lot Of stage
money. He said he was giving an imi-
tation of the canal commission. An
other came and threw red tape over the
guests. He said he was supplying them
with the thing most used in digging the
canal.
A member dashed in, prahced around
the plaza, took snap shot Of President
Roosevelt and became very angry when
stopped. He said he was Poultney Bige-
low, with 10000 word roast to write,
and only ten minutes to get the infor-
nation.
Another member came in with type
writers to SELL He said he understood
they were the principal implements de-
manded.
Another member strolled in. When
asked to state his business, he said that
he was press agent on the canal and
that his job is an easy one.
How can you be press agent7''
asked the chairman. You don t look
as if you knew how to write.
- Write, exclaimed the press agent,
pityingly, g don't have to write. Taft
he does all the writing. !"

AUGURs SUCCESS
OF HE.P'BuRN'S !. BILL
Continued From First Page.

T.. . + a
proposed by Elkins OF Foraker. the
house would hardly assent to it. Its
ability to withstand such a move is
increased by the fact that it has made
the Hepburn bill bipartisan measure.
In conference committee; therefore.
the house conferees would stand out
to the very. last, and in taking such a
stand they would have the support Of
the administration and Of the country.
The insistence Of the senate on its plan
might keep congress here far into the
summer, and its success would irnperil
the republican party in the fall cam
apaign. SO it is believed now that the
senate will ultimately yield and pass
substantially the Hepburn bill, not be-
cause it wants to sdo so, but because
that is thesonly thing it can do.

Washington, jan. 81. Senators who
yesterday heard Chairman shorts admit
that he was receiving a salary from the
Glover Leaf railroad of 81, ,O0o q month
in addition to his salary as chairman Of
the Panama canal commission Of $780,
900 year, said today that Mr.. Shonts
should give up one position or the other.
The senators argue that it is absurd to
say that Mr.. Shonts does nothing in re-
turn for such salary as that paid him
by the railroad and that the Panama
job is big enough to require his entire
time if carried out. 49, 4

in the winter for pleasure trip to the
