they knew they were plr ying

was struggling through an all-

Washington, Feb. 18.— For the
first timeon record, a real serious
scene was enacted at the Grid-
iron club dinner here tonight,
when four members of the house
of representatives were placed
under arrest and dragged^ from
the viands and hilarity of the
banquet to their
duty at the capitol hall.
“The club introduces the ser-^
geant at arms of the house of re-
presentatives, ” announced Presi-
dent Ou’ahan.
“Ho haw,” laughed several
representatives. Then, to their
surprise, they saw the real
sergeant and no make-believe
officer.
“I have some warrants here,”
s id the officer, and he read the
names of fourteen members, in-
cluding Speaker Cannon.
Several diners thought the
stunt wM part of the prqgram.
