is said that Mr. Taft intends in the flu
ture TO add a dinner 20 the Speaker TO
the list of official dinners for each year.
President Roosevelt gave the Speaker
dinner. but UP to that time this fune-
ton wasn't on the customary White
House schedule. It is true that Uncle
Joe" himself had a good deal TO do bring
ing this innovation about in the Rcose-
welt administration.
The Speaker refused to accept an in
yitation 70 one Of the official dinners be-
cause he was 20 be outranked by the
Vice President.
The Speaker himself isn't al all fnieky
about such things. but he felt that he
was standing up for the honor Of the
House There was good deal of news
paper discussion about the incident, and
Mr.. Roosevelt finally closed things out
by inviting the Speaker to an official din
ner OF his own.
Causes Comment.

has caused a good deal of comment

Preston Gibson Discusses "The
Turning Point"
Preston Gibson returned from New
York yesterday, pleased and satisfied
with the reception which his play, THE
Turning Point" received at the Hackett
TheateT, in that city.
Mr.. Gibson said: Il am more than
surprised at the reception my play re
ceived. and am especially gratified. since
the play was by a playwright unknown
in New York-a play unknown, without
a star. and going into a theater which
had not gained a following this winter
through a successful play.
Each night the receipts have been
steadily increasing. II you want to know
whether a play is successful or not. ask
the box office man. The Turning Point
looks Jas if it would call the Hackett its
home for some time"

States Treasury as security for national

do these banks want TO sell them -
asked Senator Dolliver. WAS there any
obligation on the part OF the government
when the banks took them TO save them
from loss? Was an underhand means
adopted by the government Of the United
States to foist these ? per cent bonds on
the national banks? Was there any bunco
game played?"
Then the Senator produced the circular
letter Of the National City Bank. He
said that the letter stated in advance
what they were doing in the Senate II
appears, according TO Senator Deliver.
that in considering the postal savings
bank bill the Senate was not encourag-
ing thrift among the poor at ali. but
was merely engaged in paving the way
for the abolition OF the national banking
system as a means of circulating paper
money and the substitution Of a central
bank. This is the information that the
Senator gathered from the National City
Bank circular. and il accorded pretty
well with his own ideA of the bill.
Hard TO Find Out Things.
ct is a sad confession to make" said
Senator Dolliver. referring to the circu-
lar. but It is very difficult to find out
what is really going on in this town. be-
cause the key 10 nearly every situation
is hung up somewhere else"
The Senator characterized the National
City Bank circular as one of those early
birds" which predict the coming of
spring-one of those strsws that indicate
sometimes the direction in which the wind
is blowing. Senator Deliver added that
the Senate really ought TO thank him for
having produced this National City Bank
document and given them an accurate
idea of what the postal savings bank bill
really means TO do. That is something,
be said, that he hadn't been able TO find
out from any members Of the Senate He
declared that no postal savings bank bill
would pass unless its language was ex-
plicit and the people of the country under
stood just what ii meant. The present
bill. in Mr.. Delivers opinion, did not
meet these conditions.
Senator Root served notice that his
amendment TO the bill had not been with
drawn and that he would speak on IL
this morning.
