FEELING AMONG THE HOTEL KEEPERS OF WASH
INGToN.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
WAsHINGToN, July a. 1879.
In the absence Of the proprietors of the old hos
telry of Wizards Messrs. Doak and Harris, who
in charge felt they not at liberty to discuss the
subject Of Mr. Corbins action regarding the Jews at
Manhattan Beach
THE RIGGS HOUSE.
Mr.. C. w. Spoford. Of the Riggs House. had not
given the matter any thought. Very few Jews came
to Washington or. at least to his house. He didn't
believe there were six year upon his register He
never found any fault with objection to them,
nor did his guests.
THE EBBITr HOUSE.
Mr.. Caleb G. Willatd. proprietor of the Ebbitt
House, said $50 few Jews visit city have
hardly noticed their presence. In my intercourse
with them. however. have found many gentle
manly and well behaved any people in the world
while Others have been. 1 am sorry to say. an
pleasant and dsagreeable element am Of the
opinion did my license compel to take as guests
every grade OF them should take to some other
calling
Theodore L. Roessle OF the proprietors OF
the Arlington Hotel. said that in experience Of
thirty years as hotel keeper at Albany, Washing
| ton and Lake George he had found the Jews
ceptabe patrons as over favored his houses with
| exceedingly stupid and shortsighted.
| woRMLEY's HOTEL
Mr.. Wormley says that at no time in his long ex-
periencc has he found his Jewish friends obec-
tionable. On the contrary he has always desired
their custom and has reason to regret that Mr..
numerous guests who belong to the Hebrew class,
have stopped ut his hotel

are quiet, orderly. and seldom have been beat
by one OF them. It looks like narrow preju-
| dice of the meanest kind for any one to denounce
them class to speak slightingly OF their
tom. To say the least. it is queer business taste
that would prompt man to discard SO desirable n
class OF custom as the Jews of New York must be
and who are always pleasure seekers.
! THE METROPOLITAN.
John F. Cake, of the Metropolitan. said his ex-
perience had been like tina. of Mr.. Corbin and Judge
Hilton ut the watering place where he kept hotel.
! A certain class Of the Jews always welcome,
but the second class were never desirable. The
objection would hold against any class Of
people who, having the means. should visit summer
resorts and make themselves disagreeable by their
boisterous conversation and boorish manner. 1t
exercisod-that of discriminating as to the
class guests he should receive Otherwise
Keeping first class resort. The rule Of good be-
! havior Is not an arbitrary one. and custom has
the ANN Prom s'
ways disagreeabe and IL the Jews are exceptions to
the rule it is their fault and not the fault OF the
propriotors Of public houses.
NATIONAL HOTEL.
Mr. +. Tenncy. of this National Hotel. said he had
found in his long experience the slightest OBJ
lection to the Jews as travellers patrons of his
house. He had known all classes and found the
Jews quiet and honest, we'll behaved and in no way
Objectionable guests OF the National.
THE ST. JAMES.
Mr. II. Woodbury., the proprietor of the st. James,
said that he had had but little experience with the
Jews guests OF his house. but those he had kno
good people ~ he wished to have social
or business relations with. He regarded 1t US
questionable taste the part OF any hotel keeper to
attempt To discard public patronage by singing out
n sect or race.
