Gridiron Feast
'Abounds in Fun
Third Party kit and Good
Parodies Feature An- V
vtwii Banquet
' ' Associated Press Report.
VTASHINQTON. Dec 9. The recent
vv elections and the suggested or-
ganisation of a third political party
gave members of the Gridiron club hu-
mor and satii'e In abundance tonight
at their annual banquet.
. The December frolic of the club
which la composed largely of "Wash-
ington newspaper men entertained
President Harding. Vice President
Qoolldge members of the cabinet and
the diplomatic corps other government
officials and business men and pub-
lishers from all sections of the
country.
Thenumerous plcketings which have
become common In this ctly since
women suffragists paraded before the
White House made the basis for the
greeting to the assembling' guests.
Club members dressed In Italian fas-
clstl costumes met them at the doors
with appropriate banners. One typi-
cal of the group bore the question:
Mr. President are you with us or
against us? The hour has come."
Third Party Exit.
The third party skit waa the feature
of the dinner. Around a large kettle
three members dressed as witches and
representing Senators Borah La Fol-
lette and Johnson concocted a devil's
brew Borah reciting:
"Round about the cauldron go.
In new party Issue throw.
Knocks of every known condition.
Russian soviet recognition
Blocs the standpat goat hath got
Boipthou first in the charmed pot.''
AH the witches Insisted the new
brew should not only have a kick but
should be. composed of kicks. This led
Borah to soliloquise on the question
whether it were better to stay within
the party and swat the. administra-
tion thereby affording the democrats
much glee or be a new party man In
name as well as In deed. Senator
Beveridge then announced his willing-
ness to Join explaining:
"Twice have I switched each time In
turn rejected ;
I seek- some haven now where I can
-be elected."
Shouts of "Normalcy."
The act closed with Henry Ford
feeding the firs with greenbacks and
wltp a' farmer and a banker attempt-
ing to stir up the ' brew together
whereupon there was an explosion and
the party broke up with the organisers
blaming everybody and shaking their
flats in-each others' faces j
Four men wrapped in sheets ap-
peared a the ghosts of "normalcy"
"reduced taxation" "lower cost qf. liv-
ing? and the ."International court";
buf -when they were -unveiled the is
sues were shown to be still alive. '
Good music featured ' the dinner
with several parodies' one of which
entitled "Sailing sailing. : over .the
three-mile line;" described the trou-
bles of rum ships. A musical skit
"the Gridiron Follies of 1922" was
the central point.
Finally a member remarked that
President Harding had a number of
problems on his mind.
"Take the next congress for in-
stance. I. wonder what the president
will do with It."
"I have a better conundrum than
that. What will It do to him?"
President Questioned.
In the finale the president was asked
a number of questions In a song
ending:
"And now Just a query In Gridiron
vein
What will the president dp?
Will he say he declines or 'will he
run aRairi?
What will the president do?"
Thla was the introduction to the
president's .address a part vof the
program yearly but as Mr. Harding
was-told he did not have to answer
the questions and as It is a Gridiron
rule that neither his address nor those
of other speakers are reported his an-
swers remain secret. Other spcakvrn
included: Justice Sutherland of the
United States supreme court former
Vice President Marshall Senator Bo-
rah and "Uncle Joe" Cannon. As the
dinner wan the last public entertain-
ment In the national capital at whirl!
"I'ncle Joe" will appear he waa pre-
sented with a bronse gridiron as n
memento of the occasion.

Decision May Be Delay
9.-
Hours of .Consideration
Brings No Verdict on
Charges
After deliberating only four hours
the Jury In whose hands rests the fate
of Ksker J. Hollan charged with the
murder of Charles T. Qoodson sum-
moned the bailiff and askes to- be
locVed up for the night. The foreman
said that the 18 men so far had failed
to reach a verdict.
Early Saturday night the fate of
Eskar J. Hollan oq trial for the mur-
der of Charles T. Ooodaon. remained
In doubt. The case went to' the jury
at 3:40 p. m. At 4 p. m. when' court
attaches departed to eat supper' the

most an entire day spent in argument
by opposing counsel. When court con-
vened at 9 a. m. Judge C. W.-Robinson
delivered a written charge' to the
Jury. He dwelled particularly upon
the legal definitions of murder man-
slaughter Justifiable homicide and
suspended sentences.
Assistant District Attorney Fred
Swltser began the. argument for the
State at 9:45 p. m. He stressed the
fact that no denial had been made
that Hollan killed Qoodson. The cir-
cumstance for the Jury to determine
was whether malice or forethought
prompted the deed he said.

fense made an Impassioned appeal for
the acquittal of the accused man. rfe
was followed by Arthur Heidingafelder
and Judge John Mat his other defense
attorneys.

trict attorney concluded the State's
argument. He asked for a verdict of
"guilty as charged."
Relatives of Hollan and Qoodson re-
mained in the court room awaiting
the Jury's decision until It wss an-
nounced the Jurymen had halted their
deliberations to eat supper. Hollan

tempted to comfort his wife.

Supply Measure
Accepted With
Slight Changes
TWO MORE FARM
LOAN PLANS GO
BEFORE CONGRESS
Loans to Foreign Buyers
And Extra Credits to
. Farmers Provided
. Associated Press Report
WASHINOTON. Dec. . Two more
farm credit plans were added today to
the dosen or more already before con-
gress. A bill amending the farm loan act
to provide additional credits was Intro-
duced by Senator Norbeck. republican.
South Dakota and Representative
strong republican Kansas vhlle
another. Introduced by Sena'tor Nor-
beck. and Representative A. P. Nelson
republican Wisconsin would author-
ise the war finance corporation to
make loans to foreign purchasers of
American agricultural products.
Both of the bills are endorsed by
the American farm bureau federation
and go beyond the administration pro-
posals In the recently Introduced Len-root-Anderson
bill. Whether the dif-
ferences may be harmonised easily has
not yet been developed but certain
provisions of the new Nor beck-Strong
measure are contained In other bills
Introduced by Senator Capper repub-
lican Kansas chairman of the senate
farm bloc and others of the farm
group In congress.
Increase from L0te 125000 of the
shaxlmum loan which could be made
to an Individual farmer by 'Co-operative
farm land-banks Is ene of the
Srtnclpal features of the Norbeck-
troog bllL -
. WMM ah Machinery.
Such loans also under .the new bill
would be available . for security on
machinery and other debts of borrow-
ers and not limited as under the pres
ent law to land and buildings.
"The bill which I have Introduced"
said: Senator Norbeck "makes It pos"
Bible for a fanner who owes money on
farm machinery for instance to place
mortgage on his land with the fed
eral farm loan associations and pay
off the debt. on the (arm machinery.
He may also borrow money to educate
his family."
Another provision of the Norbeck -
Strong bill would change the compo-
sition of the 12 regions! land banks
by providing a "50-50" directorate half
of the directors to be appointed by
the federal board and half by national
farm organisations. This has not ben'
deno up to. the present time because
of the government's bond holdings In
the farm banks and tbe new bill would
provide for distribution of these bonds
among the public.
Voluntary Liquidation.
The bill also provides for voluntary
liquidation of local farm loan associa-
tions and for appointment of agents
where co-operative banks do not ex-
ist. The latter provision would make
it possible for farmers to obtain loans
where local associations have not yet
been organized.
The Norbeck-Nelson foreign loan bill
would create a revolvlnr fund of 12011.-
000000 to. negotiate sales of American
products. It is designed to Increase
exports of farm products by advanc-
ing funds to foreigners. The bill au-
thorizes the war finance corporation
lo "purchase drafts or other Instru-
ments of credit against the grain
shipments abroad to be drawn against
and guaranteed by good reputable for-
eign Importers and then guaranteed
by the foreign governments where the
grain ia shipped."
