EVERY HOTEL PACKED.
Not Enough beds TO 30 Around Women
After the Theatre Had to ~lt Up All Night.

Notwithst anding the large number OF
new hotels which have appeared in New
York in the last few years. it became clear
yesterday that there are not yet enough
Of them 10 take up the crowd created by a
temporary emergency. Thousands of peo-
pie who came into town 70 business yes
to-day morning we're impressed with the
difficulties which would confront them not
only in getting out of town last night but IN
getting back to-day SO from 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning men and women were
calling up the hotel clerks all over town and
reeerying rooms for last night,
The worst sufferers We're the clerks in
the hotels around the Grand Central station:
In the Grand Union the Murray Hi and
the Hotel Manhattan the clerks worked
in double formation one shift stood at
the counters and explained that there were
no more rooms to be had and that the cots
which could be placd in tho parlors and
corridors had all been engaged. Another
shift disc minated the same news over the
telephones.
There were lots of people who did not
believe for "a minute that there was really
no room left for them in their faVorite
hotels.
why say. see here. they would assert,
in person or by telephone, most angriiy:
-I'yc been doing business with this hotel
for the last ten years
sorry. si-, the clerk would answer with
a weary smile.
Don't you sorry me-" yelled the patron.
Il know what my rights arel'
we can't give you bed that isn't here.
said the clerk Now you had called US
up sooner. we might
But the patron usually vanished into the
snowstorn before the explanation was
finished
The congestion was not limited to tho
hotels nearest the Grand Central. The
Hotel Aston was fun from O'Clock in the
afternoon The Imperial and the Waldorf
Astoria did not reach the cot stage, but
they had withdrawn their registers from
service by 10 o'clock Tho Manhattan the
Holland House and several other hotels
refused 20 put cots in service at all They
found that their outgoing guests could not
get away and therefore shut down on in
coming guests very early IN the event <
Downtown the Aston House could have
filed tents on the roof had IL had the tents.
There were no beds left in any hotel in
town at 10 o'clock last night. so far as in
qu.riee made by reporters could discover.
The greatest hardship worked by the
storm Was that which came TO women who
had come into town TO the theatre and did
not realize that they could neither get
home again nor find hotel accommo dations
in any well known hotel. Not q few in
nocent young souls sat up in restaurants
all night because they knew no more
respectable place in which they could spend
the night Many and bitter were the de-
bates between hotel clerks and the escorts
Of such Young women in the hours between

GAPON NOT TASSELTEFF.

SAN Francisco. Jan. %. A Boston de-
spatch to-day, saying that Father Gapon,
the Russian strike leader. was At one time
engaged in missionary work in san Fran
cisco. ia pronounced untrue by Father
Dabovich of the Russian Church of this city
The despatch says that Gapon, under the
name Of VasselieI, visited Boston three
years ago a. a delegate to the Young Men $
Christian Association. Father Dabovch
said:
-Ih has been mixing of identity.
Father Vasseleh was here for about two
and half years, but he and Gapon couldnt
be the same. as Vasseef was of good
Russian family and was married, his wife
being Of the nobility and having large
estates.
From here he went to Ansonia. Conn.
where there was Russian colony, and
from there to the Caucasus where he has
charge Of some Church institution Vase
lieY had several children and was a very
quiet. conservative man Of no personal
force or eloquence.
The Russian clergy here are curious about
Gapons identity. as they had not heard OF
him until the present troubles arose.

AS result OF a conference between

perfect understanding has been
reached between the state and ma
tional governments on the subject OF

ment and the forestry service will CO.

OF the understanding Is with relation

Learning somehow that the endow-

had been criticised by some one In
Boston as being money OF improper
origin, Dean Shepardson, of Chicago,
retorts to Boston that "Faneuil

built with money made by Peter
Faneuil from illegal liquor traffic. d"
mot so" says Librarian Green, OF
the Massachusetts, Historical Society; !;
"Faneuil was an upright man and
got his money legally" 1t seems
that he was an exemplary and rellg-
ious man, regular Ia his church GO
ing, who carried on legal and re-
spectacle traiiic In liquor and en-
gagged also In the slave-trade. We
don't know how seemly or other wise
slave importations seemed IN Boston
when Peter Faneuil conducted them.

sorts OF actions and transactions must
be judged In the light OF the times in
which they were done. Also Faneuil

1t seems that there Is distress In
some corners of the South because
Booker Washington sat at table in a
Saratoga hotel with John Wanamak-
er and his family. A report about
it, which was sent south varied In
some details from the facts. DR..
Washingto ton, correcting it, admitted
that he had dined with Mr.. Wana-
maker, but deposed that when he
came North, as he does very often,
he found 1t necessary to conform
with prevailing custom, as he always
did at the South. Booker Washing
ton has one Of the most admirable
equipments OF meekness OF which
there Is record since the time OF
Moses. Meekness Is a quality in
volving complete self-control and oft.
en- a high order Of sagacity. 1t
rarely gets the credit that it deserves.
1t was not without sound reasons
that Moses, man OF vigor and of
great natural impetuosity of temper,
has been commended for his meek
ness. AS the leader of people who
suffered much from prejudice and
were prone to exasperating details of
misbebavior, he had need OF it all.
1t is not without interest that the
particular incident which led to its
being recorded that Moses was every
meek, above all the men which were
on the face Of the EARTH" was an
outburst OF indignation in his family
because OF his disregard OF race pref.
udice. Miriam and Aaron mutinied
and spoke against him, says the
Scripture, because of the Ethiopian
woman whom he had married. And
then follows the statement that he
held the record for meekness. He
had need to hold it, II, as appears,
he had acquired wife OF a color diff
ferent from his own. Color Jealousies
are probably at least as old as his.
tory, and still as vigorous as ever.
"If history proves anything" says
Mr. Meredith Townsend, sit proves
that color prejudice, whether well
founded or not, is incurable: that
even similarity OF creed will not bind
together races radically distinct in
color from each other, and that the
strange destiny which has filed the
three ancient contingents with men
OF three separate colors has its root
In some law of the mind which never
changes, or some decision Of Provi.
deDce from which there can be nc
appeal.
The consideration OF the ditferen,
races OF men,-tbeir characteristics

is always an interesting held OF re
