HEARST TO PAY ALL BILLS
TRIES TO RENT EVERY HOTEL IN

The Amount of Money Being Spent for

convention in July and others attract
ed by the event who do not desire to
be the guest of Mr.. Hearst will stand
chance OF being accommodated. If
the original program had gone through
there would have been little room left
in st. Louis for any except Hearst
delegates and Hearst supporters.
As things stand there is no parallel
in the history of national political
conventions for the plans that have
been perfected by the Hearst presi-
Dental bureau TO house an army. His
delegates and shouters are to be enter
tanned, roomed and fed at his expense

St Louis to vote or root for Hearst

can be learned
At the Planters hotel Hearst has
three full floors reserved for the CON
yention period Of six days, and tried
! to rent the entire hotel One of the
| Hearst agents offered TO remunerate
! the management to the amount of
| several thousand dollars day, but the
management refused even to consider
| the proposition, on the ground that
! it expected to he in business after the
convention. Finally it was agreed to

at Mr.. Hearsts disposal for the con-
ventiou There are fifty rooms to a
floor, SO the Planters reservation ag-
gregates 100 rooms.
At the new Jefferson hotel. close
headquarters of the national commit
tee are to be located, and where the
formal opening will take place on
Thursday, the Hearst agents wanted
to reserve five entire floors. The
management refused the request. But
Mr. Hearst did succeed in reserving
ninety-two rooms, occupying two
whole floors and the major part of a
third. At the Southern hotel, where
the floor space is measured in acres,
the agent would have been satisfied
with single floor but on the pretense
of having to attend to prior applica-
| tions he was turned away.
The cost that will attach to the
rental of rooms alone gives an ink
ling of the expense of the Hearst
campaign. Expense of what the dele
gates and shouters eat, and of the bills
they otherwise incur, Mr.. Hearst's
hotel bill will amount to $500 per
day, The Hearst campaign, by its
prodigality, has staggered some of the
democratic committeeman.

The problem which is presented to
each Of the cities divides itself Into two
propositions; buildings must be con-
structed in such manner as to dis
courage the spread Of fires and there
must be some more adequate method OF
fighting ,hem. It has heen said that
the modern sSy-scraper Is no nearer
Ore proof than buildings Of the old
style; but the Baltimore fire has shown
pretty conclusively that with few
more precautions these SKYE -ecrapers
would present a wall through which the
flames could mot break through. one
or two OF these buildings are standing
with plumb lines with only the COM
bustible material Of the interior eaten
away. It has been suggested that with
steel shutters that could be closed auto
matlcally such structures would pass
through a fire practically unscathed
But perhaps the greatest problem is
to have adequate apparatus for check
ing fires ere they make too great head

Of water; It must have sumcient head

Drunken MAN. MIND. ,

It Is contended that a man, no matter
how intoxicated he may be, is always in
fun possession Of his senses, knowing
right from wrong. To disprove this time
worn belief, there is going the rounds
little story concerning a drunken man.
This particular citizen had been in
dulging freely in intoxicants all Of one
morning recently and about the time his
money run out some kind bartender
showed him "the way to so home" He
came down shipley street reeling from
side to side, apparently unconscious OF
the pains pedestrians took to give him
the right Of way and utterly obvious Of
the attention he attracted. No sign Of
trouble marred the lines of his face and
he was singing a few snatches from thar
popular song THE Dutch Company is a
Nice Company"
He was bound for Third street. but upon
reaching Fourth his progress was halted.
Striking a little stretch Of ice his feet
went from under him and there was a
"spill." With the help OF several by
ISLANDERS the much loaded man was assist
ed to his feet and looking around with a
foolish grin he started right back from
the direction he had come. How far he
travelled before he discovered his mistake
is hard to say, but It is safe to conclude
that If he fell every block he walked and
each time lost his bearings, he hasn'r
reached home yet.
