SENATOR BORAH'S JOKE
Treasury Doorkeeper Wouldn' t
Let a Progressive" In.
rFron The Trjhune Bur

From The Tribune Bureau]
Washington, June Ex-senator Borah
has added a new word to the vocabulary
OF doorkeeper in the Treasury Depart
ment. The Idaho Senator is we'll known
at the Capitol, for he is a frequent and
able contributor to the debates He is
not so well known in the departments.
He had some business at the Treasury
to-day, but was so busily engaged in
making preparations to leave Washing
ton for the West that he did not reach
the department until q few minutes after
4:30 o'clock, the closing hour. AS he
stepped briskly through the door he was
accosted by venerable doorkeeper, who
announced that the department was
closed to visitors. Mr.. Borah' did not
stop, and again the doorkeeper made his
announcement When Mr.. Borah smiled
the doorkeeper said:
This building closes at 4:30 O'Clock,
and nobody is permitted to enter after
that hour except members Of Congress.
Are you a member of the House?''
'.No." replied the Idaho Senator; Tn
a progressive"
You cannot get in said the door
keeper.
It took Mr.. Borah ten minutes to ex-
plain what he meant when he used the
word progressive" Finally it dawned
on the aged guardian Of the door that
he was talking to a United States Sena-
tor. and Mr.. Borah was promptly ad
mitted.

Taken to Bellevue on Complaint
of Park Casino Management.


Pierce the divorced wife of Thomas w
Pierce, Of Boston, and a we'll known
member of the Meadow Brook Hunt
Club. is a patient in Bellevue Hospital,
where she was taken late yesterday
afternoon from the Arsenal police sta
ton.
Mrs Pierce arrived about 3 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon in an automobile a
the Casino There she met two women,
one of them a we'll known actress. They
invited her to join them, and they sat at
one table, and ate, drank and chatted
sociably until the afternoon was almost
spent When the other women arose to
go Mrs. Pierce sprang TO her feet and
began pulling the tablecloth off the
table The actress tried to persuade her
to leave the Casino, but the woman re-
fused.
Mrs. Pierce then went outside and
began to crank UP her car. but she could
not manage it. The chauffeurs, standing
outside, looked on a while. laughing.
and then began to offer suggestions to
which she retorted in vigorous terms,
according to the police. The situation
grew so embarrassing that the Casino
management insisted that the women be
taken away. Policeman Higgins, and
three other policemen managed to get
her into her car. One of the chauffeurs
raj the machine to the station house.
When she was arraigned before Lieu
tenant Mason and charged with intoxi
cation and disorderly conduct, she said
her name was Alice Pearce,' and that
she lived at Pelham Manor. Lieutenant
Hospital for an ambulance, and DR.. Bell,
who responded, decided that she was suf
fering from alcoholic hysteria. He took
her to Bellevue Hospital. where he filed
out an information blank as follows:
alice Pearce, aged eighteen, married
and divorced: fathers name, Arthur S.
Rogers; home, Pelham Manor. Best
friend. William L. Payne. Majestic Hotel,
I'D street and Central Park West;
diagnosis, alcoholic hysteria."
The William l. Payne mentioned is the
husband of Mrs. Leslie Carter. Mr.
offered bail for the woman, but IL could
not be accepted. Mrs. Carter Payne, at
her apartments at the Majestic, said last
night that she had not seen Mrs. Pearce
in a year, and that the reason the latter
gave her husbands name as her best
friend" was because most of her friends
were out of town.
