Chicago, September S.-Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, ex-president of the
United States, today barred Senator
William Lorimer, junior senator from:
Illinois, from the Hamilton club ban
quet at the Congress hotel by refus-
ing to sit at the same table. The ill

Of the big event, under the guidance Of
the Hamilton club, has for days an
nounced that Senator Lorimer and
others would sit at the speakers tabla
with Col. Roosevelt.
The occurrence startled politicians
here and over the State. The unpre'
cedented demand that the Hamilton
club deny to one of its own members
the privilege of attending the banquet
came with characteristic abruptness
from Col Roosevelt.
The Hamilton club delegation, head
ed by former Judge John T. Batten,
Joined Col. Roosevelt at the fair
grounds in Freeport, ILL.,, shortly after
noon. The colonel shook hands hear
tily with each member of the delega-
iio2 and at once began questioning
them concerning the banquet.
Why Speaker Cannon?
els Speaker Cannon to be there?'
he asked.
"Yes," Mr.. Batten replied; che has
accepted the invitation.'
"How about Senator Lorimer?" was
asked
Senator Lorimer is member of
the club" he was told, "and has ac-
cepted an invitation to dinner"
s'Then I must decline to co. said
Col. Roosevelt, adding that he would
feel the same about the presence OF
Senator Lorimer as he would of sit
ting down with members of the ILL
nois legislature who are under indict-
ment in the graft investigation.
The committee members looked
their amazement, and finally, after
some hesitation, informed their guest
they would go back to Chicago and
tell Senator Lorimer his views.

cally. "Send a telegram telling him
that I will not attend the dinner to-
night if he is there"
Lorimer's Invitation Withdrawn.
The Hamilton club men were per
picked, but their embarrassment was
apparently not noticed by Col. Roose-
velt, who chatted with others stand
ing nee.7 by. After some interval the
following telegram was drafted and
dispatched to Senator Lorimer:
"Col Roosevelt positively declines
to sit at the same table with you. Our
invitation to you for this evening is
hereby withdrawn
This telegram was signed by for
mer Judge John H. Batten. The dele
cation which waited on Col. Roose-
welt to escort him to Chicago and the
banquet hall this evening was taken
completely by surprise and their dis
cussion of the event did not cease with
the sending of the telegram to Senator
Lorimer.
