DUEL OF WOS1
Roosevelt Defiss Trusts RM
iron Banquet No Aeg M
Speeches Get ON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.ta6e Grid
iron club Of Washington hay issued a
statement which corrects on IL minor
point the published story Of the per-
sonal clash between President Roose-
welt and Senator Foraker ut the club
dinner ON Saturday night, but which
does not deny that there was such Il
clash nor that the president defied
Foraker. j. Pierpont Morgan and ii.
H. Rogers to their teeth. In fact, the
statement seems Indirectly to confirm
the essential features of the contro-
versy. The clubs statement follows:
THE executive committee of the
Gridiron club desires to say that the
published article concerning a discus
Sion between President Roosevelt and
Senator Foraker at the dinner Is false
and misleading.
'This article carries the assertion
that President Roosevelt in a running
comment on the features of the dinner
said, All coons look alike to me- and
that Senator Foraker quoted the line
also and added, And all other persons
look alike to me-
What happened was that President
Roosevelt read from the clubs joke
book the line, All coons look alike to
me- which appeared under a cartoon
os Senator Foraker, quoted 1t and then
added, And all white persons look
alike to me also,' and went on with his
speech.
1T is the invariable rule of the club
that no reports of the speeches of its
guests shall be printed, and it places
its guests on honor in that regard. The
story was not printed in any news
paper that was represented at the din
her either by Il member of the club or
as a gIiest."
1t is certain that the president was
very much impassioned in his remarks,
that he spoke for nearly a half hour
and that the incident, combined, as it
was, with IA heated controversy with
Senator Foraker about government at
tacks upon railroads and other corpo-
r%ations, and a review on both sides Of
the Brownsville affair, resulted in
breaking up the programme of the din
ner and ending that affair long before
its expected termination.
In his earnestness the Ohio senator
walked toward the president and,
shaking his finger at him, emphasized
his declaration. Going in between the
tables, which were arranged in the
form of Il gridiron. lie stood directly in
front of Mr.. Roosevelt and told the
president some things about usurpa-
ton of power by the executive that no
one before has eve dared to tell him
10 his face.
In reply it is said that President
Roosevelt stood up and, shaking his
fist in the direction of Senator Foraker
and of Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Rogers,
said.
IF you gentlemen are not willing to
accept the action of the conservative
class, which is ready to afford protec-
ton alike to the rich and the poor, /
will say to you now that when you
have disposed of us by your machina-
tons you will find yourselves face to
face with a people which believes it
has been deprived of its rights and a
mob which does not have the least re-
spect for riches. You can take your
choice"

BOOTH COMING
To AMERICA
Head of Salvation Army to
Make Extensive Tour Of
United States

LONDON, Sept. 13.-For the second
time within II months General Will
lam Booth, the venerable head of the
Salvation Army sailed for America
today. Last spring he crossed the
American continent in the course of a
circuit of the globe. His journey was
a hurried one, and he made few public
appearances.
This time he expects to spend two
months in the United States and Can
ada, during which time ne will travel
about 5000 miles and speak at public
meetings in a large number of the
chief cities of the two countries. His
tour probably will carry him as far as
the Pacific coast though the complete
itinerary will not be arranged until he
reaches the other side.
Though at 78 he is one of the bust
est men in England, General Booth APP
parently retains a large measure of the
vigor and enthusiasm that character
lied the work of his earlier years
when in the face Of public ridicule ant
other discouraging conditions M
founded and built up the great organi
cation which has since made its in
fuence felt throughout the civilized
world.
