DISAPPEARING HOTEL TOWELS.

Louisville Courier-Journal
"We lose money enough in stolen
towels every week to board half dczen
rorters," said a hotel clerk. I've
never know exactly where they 90, hut
they certainly disappear, and that
right fast. IL some OF the people
who take our towels would exert their
energies in more laudable vocation
they would have been rich many moons
ago.
There is scarcely a room in the
hotel that does not use a towel at least
three times q week. OF course, we nlace
several kinds, face towels, bath towels
and just plain towels, in each one.
and some one finds them go attractive
that they are dropped into a grip and
hustled out with the remainder of
the luggage.
When you figure that a good
bath towel costs from ten to twenty
cents, and other towels anywhere from
three to five cents, you probably can
estimate the dead loss TO a hotel. IL
is very convenient to drop them into
satchels, suit case or trunks, and thew
are right handy to wrap shoes or other
dirty articles of clothing in. "

William, alias ''Tojie," /" Johns, col
ored, who was arrested in this city o
few days ago on suspicion Of being
implicated In a murder at Pbmnix-
vile, Pa, appears 10 be In a rather
uncomfortable position, judging from
the following dispatch from Phmnix-
Vile: 1.-Two women declared positively
that they recognized IN Willilm Johns
the murderer Of Max Elkins, the baker
who was recently murdered by a negro
burglar. The women are Mrs. Elkins,
the widow, and Mrs. GrossmulIer, who
saw the murderer az he was escaping
from the Elkins home. The negro was
confronted by the two women In Police
Court IN the presence of Deputy Cor
oner Howell. Mrs. Elkins became
very much excited as soon AZ she saw
Johns. You killed my man; you
killed my man you shot him twice
and killed him 10 she declared.
Take another look you certainly
haze made a terrible mistake, said
the prisoner. Mrs. Elkins immediately
began 10 upbraid the prisoner, but was
stoppd by the Deputy Coroner.
Mrs. Grosamuller, through an in
terproier, said she WAS also positive
that Johns was the murderer. Johns
made a vigorous denial OF the charge
and declared be was never in PhWnix-
willie before Friday, When he was
brought here from Wilmington. lie il
held for a. further hearing. The
officials refuse TO divulge the nature OF
their evidence against him. -
Chief Of Police Black has forwarded
to the Phwnixville authorities an
affidavit made by Ehle La Rue, col
cred, 10 tho effect that Johns was NOT
IN Wilmington, 80 far as she knows, on
February 18th, the day of the murder.
The police heard several reports con
oerning the whereabouts of Johns on
the night OF the murder, one being
that he was at the LA Rue woman q
house, and another being that he was
In Philadelphia.
Capt. Evans said this morning that
Johns told him that witnesses by whom
he expected TO prove an alibi lived 10
Philadelphia, which gives the impres.
son that he inferred that he was there
nt the time. The suspect stoutly mnin.
tanned that he had no connection with
the murder, although, after being in.
formed, after his arrest, that he wal
wanted in Pennsylvania, Capt. Evan.
says, he inquired whether It was IN
connection with the Phmnixs ille muir,
der, and when he was told that auot
was the case, he denied being In
Phwnixville. He still protests that be
