The Aurora Borealis resembled the
halo that Taft put on Aldrlch, while
Cannon's halo resembled the mid

Henson appeared, claiming to have
located the pole in Savannah and pro-
duced It in the shape of a barber
pole, tunefully telling of his exploits.

Iof strongly opposed politics. and
others who although of the same po-
litlcal party. had found serious rea-
sons for wide divergence were present
at the dinner and listened, not only
with philosophy but even with glee
to the comical exploitation of their
.quarrels.
How Pole Was Found.
The distinguished company learned
In an authoritative way the truth
about the discovery of the north pole
through . scientific commission which
reported personally to the Grldiron
club, and undertook to arbitrate the
between Peary and Cook
who In this instance we've represented
by the two initiates into the club
membership. Edward l.. Keen, of the
United Press. and Ira S. Bennett, OF
the Washington Post and San Fran
cisco Call.
One OF the explorers said he had
Identified the pole by the resemblance
OF the climatic conditions to inaugu-
ration day in Washington. He had
qualified for his task by climbing
Capitol Hin to reach the appropria-
lions committee, and was equipped
with fountain pen and megaphone.
The pole was found to be as far dis
tant from land as President Taft
