When a man travels incognito how is

If he is himself? And if he is himself,
how are they going to know that he

rector of the band at Coronado, brought
the news to the Angelus hotel yester-
day morning, when he announced on

season. One finds it difficult to imagine

the desk had recovered the clerk ex-
planned that Mr.. Blech represents the
