Two v. S. Senators and Ship
Board Member intrigued Into
Attending Dinner.
BY JOHN GOLDSTROM.
BY UniveSsaI Service.

This Is the story of a dinner
and an intrigue at which Gen"
Felix. Diaz' failed as dismally with
the Obregpn government Of Mexico
as he did on his appearances by
proxy on the battlefield.
& Present at the dinner were two
United States Senators, a former
Senator now "a member OF the
Shipping Board an assistant at
torney general, invited to meet
I,iaz socially but for the actual
purpose Of using their names to
lend color TO carefully circulated
reports that high members OF the
Government were in sympathy with
Diazista attempts to prevent recog-
pition OF the present government
OF Mexico and overthrow Presi.
dent Obregon.
Held sf Canova's Home.
The dinner was held last, Satur.
day evening at the home here of
Leon ]. Canova, former chief OF
the division OF Mexican affairs In
the State Department. II was ar.
ranged partly by Cecilio Ocon, Diaz'
right hand man. who was accused
Of assassinating Gustavo Madero
when the Madero government was
overthrown In favor Of Dictator
Huerta. A brief announcement that
It had been held, grouping the
names OF the Americans with that

columns of a Washington news.
paper.
The prominent American names
used were those OF United States Sen
ators Miles Poindexter OF Waohing-
ton and William r. Mckinley OF Hi
nois. former Senator George z.
Chamberlain OF Oregon, who ls now
a member OF the Shipping Board.
and Assistant Attorney General Rush

lowing dispatch as coming from Dnz:
"I have had assurances that there is
no possibility Of the actual govern.
ment In Mexico being recognized
which functions under q constitution
which denies the right Of property
and religious liberty"
Senators Repudiated Dinner.
Senators Poindexter and Mckinley
and Mr.. Chamberlain today very en-
hatiealIy repudiated their part in
the dinner as having the slightest
significance OF indication OF sympa'
,hy with Diaz's Vaccinations. They
resented the use Of their names In
this connection. .
Senator Poindexter declared he had
attended the dinner as social nc'
ouaintance OF Canovs and said
II left early because the conversa'
ton was on the subject OF Mexico.
and I felt that II might lead to dis
cussion Of the plans OF General Dtaz
and place me in an embarrassing
position.
Il am not interested In Mexican
affairs at all. except IN so far as our
Government is interested, ond / knrw
nothing whatever OF the plans or
connections Of those present at the
dinner with the Mexican situation.
1T just shows what dangerous
thing Il Is TO accept an invitation
without first making inquiry con.
cerning the purpose Of the gather.
ing. So far as was concerned this
was merely a social invitation.
Senator Mckinley frankly stated
that he had accepted the invitation
"out Of curiosity to see this Fellow

ASHFORD HAS OLDEST
 C0REET BAND IN COUNTRY

bANO IN NOb Jh
 The Bahcoek Cornet band of Ashford, which recently celebrated the 60th an niversary of it's organization with a days festivities at Warrenville, can lay claim to being the oldest cornet band in the country, according to historical data collected by William H. Platt of Wiilimantic, son of the late Henry Platt and formerly of Ashford who was call ed upon to prepare history of the band as he was member nearly fifty years ago.
 The band was named after Archibald Babcock, who returned to Ashford after having been in California during the gold excitement in the early f1fties He left the town trust fund of St, ,000 the interest of one-half of which was to be used for the support of pub lie library, and the other half for band of music.
 In part Mir. Platts paper was as fol- lows:
 So all we can do is to honor his good intentions. and Bless his memory About thirty years ago, q cannot recall the exact date, but it was when Will Stew art was leader of the band), Lyon and Hes.ly, of Chicago, among the largest | manufacturers an dealers in musical in | struments, compiled list of all the bands in the United States They sent 1 out printed blanks to be filled in and returned to them. One was received by Stewart, which he gave to me asking me to fill it and return, giving tine name i.of the band. date of organization, etc. This did. and shortly afterward, when 1 the list was compiled and published Stewart received a copy In this list i Dodwoth band of Providence, R. l., was ] the oldest, Babcock band of Ashford Conn, ranked second Shortly after this Dodworth band disbanded, and most ot it's former members joined the American
 band of Providence. E. | This, without any question whatsoever, leaves Bab, cock band the oldest independent band in the United States by term of al least thirty years. By the term "inde. pendent band I mean one that is moi

 After the Civil war the leading cit izens of the town began to give nor,
 attention to the band. Up to this tim,
 the members all owned their instrument
 and when they left the band took then
