yrvri-' 3 THE WASH1NOT0N TBtES, FBEdW, HAY i9, 1911. 18 -y-r-? AD LA FOLLETTE ARGYLE BOY TALK IS A NIK President, Senators and Representatives Entertain Youngsters From West. "Duck Mm, Bobble! Duck 'lm!" "Aw, cut It, fellers; I got mine jes' a minute ago." There was a splash, and Bobble now United States Senator Robert Marlon La Follette of Wisconsin was shooting beneath the cooling water of the Peca-tonlca river to grasp the ankle of the protesting human fish. That was the way It used to be and the distinguished Senator was assured by one of the present swlmmln' generation that It is the same today. News of the ol" swlmmln' hole, which in reality was a repetition of the tales of his boyhood sports, was told to the Esnator by Ashley Gunnison, a small boy of Argyle, yesterday.

Tells of Playing Hookie. Argyle was the place, where the Senator lived when a boy, and when he learned that Ashley Gunnison was from there the conversation Immediately went to 6wlmmln. The mercury was hover ing around the 10a mark. Another cooling diversion which the Senator told the boy he Indulged In was that of playing hookie from school and floating down the river on cake of Ice. but he assured the lad that his father made It as hot for him when he re turned home as it had been cool on the frozen raft.

Talk With President. Gunnison is one of the three boys being given a trip to Washington and New York by the Chicago Drovers' and Farmers' Journal. The other boys are Floyd K. Crouse, of Rossvlll, and Marshall McFadden, of Vermont, 111. A.

Sigma Nu Phi Dinner. Speeches bv Chancellor William E. Lahey and others, and the election of officers, formed the program of the first annual banquet of Charles E. Hughes Chapter of the Sigma Xu Phi fraternity, of Georgetown University Xiaw School, last night. The restaurant of the United States Senate has been adjudged a monopoly engaged In an unreasonable restraint of trade, and therefore a menace to the Institutions of this Government.

Elliott! "Woods, superintendent of the Capitol buildings and grounds has been served with an injunction, the effect of which will be to put an end to the monopolistic tendencies of the restaurant, of which he is the nominal head. The de-csion in the case was rendered by winthrop Murray Crane, Senator from Massachusetts, and chairman of the Sen ate Committee on Rules. There is an organization at the Capitol known as the New England Pie Club. The active members of the club consist of the private secretaries of Senators and Represenatlves from New England. The headauarters of the club are In the commodious quarters of Rep resentative Augustus r.

uaraner, or Massachusetts. Origin of Club. When the club was organized Us prin cipal object was to further the interests of the secretaries' employers. That object was forgotten long ago when the secretaries came to a realization of the fact that even the right-hand men of protectionists were up against the high cost of living. The secretaries rebelled against the high prices of the House and Senate restaurants and agreed to establish a fund for the purpose of buying food in wholesale quantities and serving It to active members in Mr.

Gardner's committee room each day. The club memberslp increased so rap-Idly that It was soon recognized by the managers of the Senate restaurs, and the competition was especially Irksome because the steward of the club Insisted on buying his supplies at the Senate restaurant at wholesale prices. Trouble Begins. About a week ago, "Bill" Deardon. private secretary to Representative Gil-let, and steward of the club, made his accustomed Journey to the Senate res taurant to buy large Quantities of pie ana oreaa.

buuic ul uuubi ceu- retaries were impatiently awaiting his return in Gardner's committee room. "Bill" returned to his fellow-workers, but his hands were empty: he had no pie and he had no bread. The club members were compelled to make their noonday meal off the coffee cooked on an electric stove by the committee messenger. Deardon reported to the club that the steward of ti.e restaurant had refused to sell him food on the that the club was engaged in active competition with the Senate restaurant. The club debated the question at length, and then scanned the honorary membership list.

Among the names on that list were some of the most prominent men In public life. Near the top of the list was the, name of Senator Crane. Argument Heard. Now Senator Crane has two secretaries who are members of the New England Pie Club. This fact, together with his own membership in the club, made him an especially desirable citizen from the standpoint of the secretaries.

In addition. Senator Crane Is chairman of the Senate Committee on Rules, and by virtue of that position had Jurisdiction over the Senate restaurant. The Senator heard the argument of the delegated counsel of the New England Pie Club, gave the restaurant officials an opportunity to present their side of the case, and then announced that he would reserve decision. The decision has lust been handed down. It declares.

In brief, that the Senate restaurant managers deliberately set about to monopolize the business of furnishing food to all persons in the Senate wing of the Capitol; that the managers thereof entered into a conspiracy in restraint of trade to wit, an attempt to crush the New England Pie Club: that the restaurant managers had been guilty of unjustifiable discrimination, and, finally, that this tendency In the direction or monopoly, conspiracy, and discrimination constituted flagrant violations of the spirit and letter of the Constitution, ann that. Indeed th latest construction of the Constitution bv the United States Supreme Court, the restaurant and managers were gulltv of engaging in an unreasonable restraint of Irade. The decision of the club is affirmed. Opinion by Crane, J. Women Nurses Better Navy Hospital Service Women nurses In the navy have improved the methods of caring for the sick and injured, Dr.
