New York, Sept. 10.-The most
complete structure of it's kind in the
world and also the most luxurious
in it's furnishings, the new Hotel AS
tor. at Broadway and Forty-fourth
street, was formally opened to the
public today. The new building was
built by William Waldorf Astor and

Every scheme of decoration and ar
those features of the Renaissance
which have impressed themselves
on the art of today, are found in the
building.
On the ground floor, opening into
the tiled and marbled lobby, are din
ing rooms, women's Hobbies and "a
fes, representing to the slightest de-
tail the Spanish, Dutch and French
Renaissance. Three hundred and ff-
ty paintings of almost fabulous alu
and hundreds of costly e~ngravings
adorn the walls of corridors and
apartments. Among the distinctive
features of the great hotel are the
Hunting Room, decorated with tro-

Room, decorated with paintings OF
American college athletic life; "L'Or-

The driving of piles and depositing of
concrete will be continued, and the laying
OF masonry shortly commenced after which
the erection Of steel will follow. Mill and
shop work on the steel has been under way
only a short time and not much progress
has been made as yet, but it is expected
that Ii will be pushed rapidly and be ready
for erection as soon as enough of the ma

Two False Alarms.

Two false alarms of fire were turned in
this morning by some individual who prob
ably enjoyed seeing the horses run. The
first violation of law was committed about
1915 o'clock, when alarm was turned
in from box 26S at LIST and H streets north
west Belated pedestrians enjoyed the sight
OF the animals hurrying over the streets
to the place where the box is located, and
the person who had violated the law was
no doubt in the party which gathered about
the vicinity Of the box. Policeman and
firemen who had been compelled to leave
their beds to respond to the alarm did not
give vent to their thoughts but returned
to their quarters after they had made an
investigation. This time the alarm was
sent in from box 646 and the police and
firemen soon gathered at North Capitol and
n streets. This time both policemen and
firemen showed signs of their patience be-
ing overtaxed. There was nothing they
could do, however, except to give expression
to their feelings and suggest that the law
should be changed so as to provide a more
severe penalty.

Oppose Increase Of Rates Proposed By
Supreme Tent.

supreme Tent.
The proposed increase Of rates by the
Supreme Tent Of the knights Of the Macca-
bees OF the World. now in session In De-
troit Mich, and which. II adopted, will
practically freeze out" the "old men" in
the order. is bitterly opposed by the entire
membership Of over 1900 in the District of
Columbia. az Is also the present non-repre-
sentative form Of government Of the gu
preme Tent. The present membership OF
the Knights of the Maccabees Of the World
is nearly $4,000. while the number of repre-
sentatives to the Supreme Tent Is only
every 5000 members. While this Is al
legged to be bad enough in the eyes Of the
rank and file Of the membership, the fact
that all the officers. elective and appointive,
are members Of the Supreme Tent, by virtue
OF their office. regardless Of whether they
are regularly elected as representatives or
not, makes the present form OF govern
ment, according to local Maccabees. still
less representative and more open to crit
tcism. The present Supreme Tent consists
OF ninety-one members. of which only fifty
three are elected, while thirty-eight serve
and vote by virtue of their office. Eight of
the thirty-eight have two votes each, and 1t
Is declared that probably majority Of the
fifty-three representatives who are elected
are state commanders or deputies, who are
under salary to the Supreme rent. IN
maIder and record keeper must BOTH un
der the laws of the order, be chosen as
representatives.
The present Supreme Tent review at De-
trOit has brought to that city great many
members of the ORDER who are not only
bitterly opposed to the proposed increase or
rates at the present time, but insist upon
a change In the laws which Will make the
Supreme Tent representa- tive in fact. These
protestants have organized elected j. +.
Greather of Cleveland, Ohio, as president,
and presented remonstrance to the Su-
preme Tent. All of their meetings have
been largely attended.
At the regular review last night OF Mount
Vernon Tent, No. 4, of this city, the largest
tent in the fourth representative district,
having membership Of 675, the question
of increased rates and non-representative
form of government was thoroughly dis
cussed, and by unanimous vote OF the
members present the following telegram
was ordered sent to Sir Knight j. II.
Greather and D. P. Markey, supreme COM
mander:
Mount Vernon Tent, No 875 mem
bers), in regular review, Endorses the action
of the protesting body of Maccabees, now
in Detroit, and condemns contemplated &C
ton by the Supreme Tent regarding raising
the rates. This message expresses the
practically unanimous voice of the entire
membership in this jurisdiction.
