meeting held by a
group Of Democratic members of Con-
Cress AT theatre in Washington.
Representative Gordon was one OF the
speakers at this meeting and de

anti-tipping law when they ate dinner
at the Chamberlain Hotel here last
evening. Mrs. Wilson gave Peggy Con-

dime to a messenger boy whom he sent
out for newspapers.
The Iowa anti-tipping law provides a
penalty Of $50 fine or ten days in
Jail for both the giver and the recipient
of a tip. Local officials to-day smiled
when the law violations by the Presi-
Dental party were called TO their
