Taft Made Peoria Club
Settle For His Trip

SPRINGFIELD, H.. Feb 11.-A
story of how President Taft collected
s647.72 few days ago from the Kick
apoo club which invited him to Peoria
four years ago came out here today.
The occasion was his visit TO Peoria
to speak at a Lincoln day celebration
similar to the one at which he was
the chief guest here today. When
President Taft went to Peoria he was
secretary of war He travelled In a
private car-some say he had a spe-
cial train-and apparently congress
had not set aside any fund for his
travelling expenses.
A few weeks ago, after the claim
had appeared regularly before the
successive club directories for several
years. IL became imperative that ac-
ton be taken when somebody in
Washington put the bill in the hands
of Attorney Julius Starr. one of Presi-
dent Taft's old schoolmates, for col
lection.
The club did not relish the idea OF
being sued, even il honored by having
president OF the nation as complain
ant Eugene Baldwin, genial and
youthful at threescore and ten and
with the accumulated diplomacy OF
years in the editorial sanctum, went
to Washington as a special envoy.
According to all reports the expense
bill was the principal affair of state
discussed. The club should pay the
bill rather than have me pay II out OF
my own pocket was the presidents
terse summary OF his position.
"But why not have the Hamilton
club and the other clubs at which you
stopped along the route pay their
share OF IL and leave us to shoulder
only the expense from Chicago TO
Peoria, and possibly to your homes?
suggested Mr. Baldwin.
"The club induced me TO make the
trip and stopped at the other places
incident to going to Peoria" was the
presidents reply.
According to all reports. Mr.. Bald
win settled then and there. He re-
turned to Peoria in no genial frame CT
mind
According 10 some reports, the club
was the Crevecoeur, a noted political
organization of Peoria. THAT is not
true. II was the Kickapoo club said
Representative Lucas T. Butts. of
Peoria. cit was the last big affair
which the Kickapoo club gave. The
bill was a big one. and the president
put II I'm the hands OF his friend Mr..
starr for collection. The Kickapoos
never gave another banquet after
that. The Cevecoeur club was organ
lied later"
