.PYTH|ANS HAVE
 REAL NIGHT OFF

Because of the belief current that "ali work and no play makes Jack dull boy" the evening session of the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias was dispensed with and the rneplbers of the order and their wives and sweethearts were entertained at the Orpheum theatre to a high-class vaudeville performance.
 The tickets were furnished free by the entertainment committee to those attend themselves of the opportunity and an ex- cellent programme was thoroughly en- joyed by the visitors.
 The programme included the following numbers:
 Lowe and Sterling featuring Stop, Stop, stop.e Billy Iabelle, the fastest composer in the world. Miss Crawford comedenne; Bray & Co., in a society sketch, and first run motion pictures. All the numbers were we'll presented and afforded much pleasure to the appreciative audience. But the great event is to be pulled off tonight after the session of the grand lodge has finally adjourned, when the l DOnkeyS WILL tdhe tlio CtIleI Ol lllc stage and hold ceremonial session. The affair is a special meeting of Aladdin temple 153 Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan. which will be held at the Or pheum theatre, and was called for the single purpose of initiating half a hun dred "tyros' into the mysteries and secrets of Khorassan. The tyros are all tried and true pythans, many of whom of high standing in the order. However, the journey before them Is unknown; it may lead through flower bespanged plains," it may lead to fog and fen and foul moross.' but of one thing there seem to be no doubt. and that is they will know they have been somewhere when the journey is ended.
 Owing to the large class of candidates it is imperative that the session start promptly at o'clock. The doors will be locked after that hour. "A big feed fol- lows the show.''

TAFT CAUSES STIR IN WASHINGTON Indulges in Some Plain Talk About Certain Club
 Men

Washington, May 17.-The resigna- tion of two members of the board oi governors and the secretary of the Met
 ropolitan club in this city, made known today following speech by President
 Taft last night, in which he denounced 'small-headed men," who, in clubs, at. tempt to manifest their greatness by
 blackballing men of prominence proposed
 for membership, have stirred official and social Washington to the core.
 1 President Taft, who Is a member oi
 the exclusive Metropolitan, was repre-
 sented several weeks to have felt some resentment over the exclusion from the
 organization of several newly elected | congressman and senators, proposed for | membership. by some of the most in-
 huential men in the clubs. Among the
 men excluded was one of whom the
 President twas said to be particularly l fond.
 l The furry caused by the clubs action
 at that time had partially died down when President Taft last night in an | address at the Jewish temple, revived l the subject by saying he had had friends
 -gentiles-kept out of clubs "by people who were not worthy to button up their shoes"
 This was followed by the announce ment today that Brigadier General Clar- ence R. Edwards, of the bureau of in- | sular affairs, an intimate friend of Pres | ident Taft; Lieutenant Colonel Charles l l.. McCawley. of the marine corps, for | merly White House aide, and Captain T. M. Potts, of the navy, had resigned their official positions with the Metro poftan club. General Edwards and Cap tain Potts were members of the board of governors. and Colonel McCawley, secretary of the club. All three of these officers had asked that their resigna- tions take effect at once, but Captain Potts and Colonel McCawley later agreed of the difficulty of filling their places at this time of year. General Edwards. however, insisted that his resigna ton
 should be accepted immediately It is said the resignations of Messrs. Edwards, McCawley and Potts un- doubtedly means that in the future no officer in the active service of the army, navy. or marine corps will hold office in the Metropolitan club
 Friction created by the exclusion of senators. representatives and other men of prominence in official life from the club has been more or less frequent, and it is believed has not worked to the best interest of the various branches of the
 military service.
 In his address here last night in the Jewish temple. President Taft severely criticised what he called "sma head ed" men who get in social clubs and then blackmail others whose shoes they are unworthy to untie'-men, he
 said, who are kept out by the few even though the blackballed are cit izens of great ability and prominence. While he did not mention names peo- pie here understand the President had reference to Congressman Martin w. Littleton, formerly of Tennessee, who was prevented from becoming a mem Der of the Metropolitan club. Wash ! inEton, and William Loeb, Jr., who was
 denied membership in the Union League
 club, New York.
