HAD MIGHTY SUSPICIOUS LOOK
Washington Correspondent Tells Of
Joke Played by Senators on
Veteran Capitol Barber


One of the most remarkable things
ABOUT men, be they of high or low es-
tate, Is that they never grow up.
Take for instance, that group of ell
der statesmen In the United States
senate. Here is the trick they were
caught playing on Sims, the old negro
barber at the capitol, who has been
shaving them and their kind for forty
years.
Sims is preacher and great Bibli-
cal authority when he Is not shaving
senators. He is profoundly religious.
He has confidence in his fellows.
So, when Senator Harry New of In
diana told Sims that he had present
for him, the venerable barber walked
into the trap all uIlsuspecting.
The senator said he wanted to be-
stow his present in private. He and
Sims went into an anterOOm. The SEN
atOr squatted down and Sims did like
wise. The senator took from his peck
ct large-slzed pair Of dice and rolled
them out on the carpet. Sims watched.
At this moment a group of sena-
tors, in the plot with New, burst into
the room. There, apparently, were Sen
atOr New and the old barber, despite
his protestatloDs of religion, shooting
craps. The statesmen were Mortified.
An employee of the senate had been
caught gambling. Sims, Of all men,
had gone wrong after forty years;
Sims, whom they trusted implicitly. 1t
