CHEAP SWINDLE ON HOTELS.
Registering at the Best Houses and Maxi
ing o Few Cents From Each.

Registering at the Best HOUSES and Max
ing o Few Cents From Each.
A rather cheap trick of doing up hotels
for money was reported to Superintendent
O'Mara yesterday. On last Friday young
man about % years old and well dressed
registered at the Hotel Schlosser as Harry
j. Wright, and asked for a suite of rooms,
as he intended to use them to show goods
and desired large ones. After putting his
name on the register he went out, and half
an hour later messenger boy delivered
letter for Mr.. Wright at the hotel A
charge OF 30 cents was on il, which the clerk
paid. Mr.. Wright did not return to the
hotel. The next day, however, he regis
tered at the Anderson and got rooms in the
same way, left the hotel in the same way,
and in little while letter arrived for him
just as on the day before at the Schlosser.
Charges on this OF 80 cents also were paid,
and the guest never returned. He had
registered this time as G. L. Walker, Chi
cago
The police have found the boy who carried
the letters, and said he had been given 10
cents each time. Mr. Wright or Walker
thus made 40 cents for writing his name
twice. 1t is not expected he will continue
his trick
