INFORMS HOTELS THEY
MUST PAY LICENSE TAX
MANAGERS WILL SEEK LAWS
ANNULMENT
Mushet Wants Money-"If Ordinances
Stand ! viii Enforce Them,"
Says the City
Auditor

The city auditor has written to the
hotel managers of Los Angeles notifying
them that they are subject to a license
tax in proportion to their receipts.
Hotel men generally are up in arm:
against the request, which Is taken to
mean that the law compelling hotels tc
pay into the city treasury 75 cents fol-
each $500 of gross receipts is to be strict
ly enforced.
"As far as / am concerned" said Man.
ager H. C. Fryman of the Hayward, II
have no complaint against the present
arrangement, quarterly hotel license of
SIS, but 1 think the hotels are paying
enough into the treasury when they hand
out S175 per month as liquor license and
IS more each month for the restaurant
license, in addition to the tax for the
privilege of renting rooms"
Calls 1t Hardship
At the Angelus the Loomis brothers
said:
There has always been a compromise
in the past and 1 look for some under
standing agreeable to both the keepers
of hotels and the city authorities in this
instance The position of the hotel peo-
pie is not that of fighting the officials
sworn to do their duty, but rather move
ment toward repeating the hotel tax
law"
Manager Whittemore of the Alexandria,
Manager Mitchell of the HollenbeclS,
Colonel Lankershim of the Lankershim
and Manager Connor of the Melrose were
of similar opinion, and it is not unlikely
that efforts will be made to legislate
against the tax.
vii Enforce All Laws
City Auditor Mushet says: my object
in sending these letters was to make an
effort to bring into the city treasury
moneys which are due it. AS auditor my
duty is not only to watch the outflow,
but to see that we get all the income we
are entitled to.
experts have discovered many ordi-
nances which are ignored or enforced in
a hearted sort of way.
"As long as they are ordinances they
should be enforced"

BURLINGAME TO WRESTlE.
Athlete And Actor Coming To The Colonial
Theatre In "As You Like IT,

His Annapolis friends win be pleased
to know that they will have q chance
shortly TO see George Burlingame,
the Annapolis boy, who has achieved
some prominence as wrestler, all
round athlete and actor. in Balti-
more shortly, where he will take the
part of Charles the Wrestler, in George
Fawcett's production Of AS You
Like tt Buriingame entered his
stage career in this part.
1t will also be known with pleasure
that Burly is doing well and is filling
the responsible position of athletic
instructor at the University of Vir-
ginia. BurIingame played football at
that institution after leaving st.
Johns. He played football later
around Baltimore and took up wrest-
ling while member of the Fifth Reg
iment, during its service in the South
during the Spanish American War.
When he returned to Baltimore he
went into the wrestling game on a
larger scale.
Burlingame was very successful at
first and held Roeber, the champion,
in two time limit bouts, but was
thrown in a finish affair between the
two. However, he won number of
less important bouts, and with them
the title of champion of the South.
Later, however, he was not so sue
cessful and his title was won from
him by Shad Link, who is we'll
known here. Burley lost number
of matches that he should have won
by not making proper preparation.
Burlingame then devoted himself
TO the stage, but later has been en-
gage as an instructor in physical cul-
ture in New York. He is reported to
have been quite successful in this
line and TO have mastered the details
of the position. George Fawcett is
himself an alumnus of the University
of Virginia aud obtained leave of
absence for Burlingame, in order that
he might take the part assigned him in
the Shakesperean production.

No Class German Now.

To be or not to be has been the
question that agitated the minds of
the midshipmen of the first class Ma
val Academy concerning the class
german, an event which is looked for
ward to from the plebe year to gradu-
alton. Whether the class german is
to be in February when the second
section of '07, graduates, or in June.
has been question of interest not
only to the midshipmen, but to their
lady friends. 1t is now practically
decided that the class german of 1907,
Naval Academy, will be held in June,
wnen the last section graduates and
not in February. All who are now
members of this class, or who have
been, all midshipmen who have grad
mated in the first section last Septem-
Der, or who viii graduate next
month. and those who resigned and
are now civilians rate the class
german.
