RoAD-vIEws OF OTHER HOTEL PRoPmgToRs-
HEBREW BANKERS INDIGNANT.
Mr.. Austin Corbin, the president of the
Manhattan Beach Company, has publicly ex-
pressed the wish that Hebrews shall rot
patronize the Manhattan Hotel or Railway.
He declares that NE is influenced solely by
desire to render the property OF the
company as profitable "a possible, and
to keep resort to which the best class OF
people will be glad to go. He gives his rea-
sons for Directing to a certain class OF lie
brew guests, and is sustained in his objections
by one of the proprietors of the hotel.
The opinions of propretors OF other
hotels on Coney Island Beach vary as to the
wisdom of Mr.. COrbin's course Prominent
Hebrews in this city yehementy denounce his
conduct.
GROUNDS OF THEIR EXCLUSION.
DECLARATIONS BY AUsrS CoRBIS -IsRAELITEs
SAID NOT TO BE PROFITABLE CUSTOMERS And
TO DRIVE AWAY MORE DESIRABLE GUESTS.
For several days past the Manhattan Beach Conn
pany has been considering the serious problem Of
how to exclude the Israetes as a class and race
from their grounds and hotel at Coney Island.
Ever since tho opening of the this part OF the
island has been favortc resort Of tins race and on
the Christian Sabbath and on Jewish holidays tho
numbers 10 be found there exceeded 10y far the rep
resentatiOn of any other race. Several devices
were resorted 10 to exclude them from the hotel,
and these were many and effective that at no
time has there been more than three Israeite3
resident in the hotel ut any one time.
To exclude them from the Diazzas and din-
ing-rooms was. however, more dlihculs
problem; and TO refuse them transportation to thu
beach was found to be utterly imDracticabIe. Nari-
GUS grounds of objection to their presence were
urged upon the company until the president, Mr.
Austin Corbn finally made public yesterday
declaration of the indisposition of his company to
cater to them as a race. This declaration was
couched in the following words, written by Mr.
Corbin himself:
We do not like the Jews a class There are some
welbehaved people among them, but as rule they
make themselves offensive TO the kind OF people VINO
principally patronze road and hotel and am salts
fed we should be better of without than with their
custom.
Mr.. Corbn, in conversation with a TRIBUNE re-
porter Yesterday afternoon, said that the foregoing
was authorized in so far as the word Jews" was
applicable solely to the Israelites as race and not
as a relig ious sect.
"Then your objections to them are not based on
religious moral groundsP
"Bv no means. object to them solely on mer-
camille grounds 1t does not pay US to entertain
them or to transport them"
"Why nOtP
"In the first place. they spend very little money,
they demand more than they are willing TO pay lor'
and they drive away the exclusive, orderly Grass
that we aim to attract TO Manhattan Beach. we
intended Manhattan Beach for every class-poor as

provided the regulations of the company are noo
broken Those regulations are for the benefit OK
| the public, and necessary to maintain the quiet,
orderly, respectable and reserved resort we mean
Manhattan Beach shall be at any cost"
"Do YOU find that the LraelItes violate these
reguatIonsp
serv alton and experience"
"In what wayP
ave have rules against smoking IN other than
the last two seats of each car We find that this
rule is violated in a vast majority Of instances by
Jews. Their conduct in the bath grounds has been
repeatedly complained of and the private sulls
