THEMODERN HOTEL
Wonderful Changes During the Last
Twenty-Five Years.
THE ST. REGIS A MODEL

How few Of those who enjoy the luxuries Of
a great modern hotel realize the magnitude Of
the task imposed upon its management. The
hotel as We know 1t today. did not exist twenty
Eve years ago. The introduction Of steel and
nreproof construction. the manifold application
Of electricity to common uses and the far higher
standard Of livins demanded by well-to-do Amer
leans are largely responsible for this great
change.
Perhaps the most conspicuous example Of this
new type Of hotel is the St. Regis in New York.
To keep its wonderful mechanical plant running.
to prepare food for Its large number Of guests
and to minister to their almost limitless require
ments, from the spreading of a grand banquet to
the sewing Of a recreant button. requires an
army Of trained employees.
Yet the cost to people who frequent the St.
Regis 10 comparatively small for the service
rendered. Here one may enjoy the utmost lux
ury. perfect housekeeping. rare treasures Of art
and antiquity. enhancing music and the most
select eompanionship. A perfectly appointed pri-
vate room may be had for emily q day. ana IL
desired with q bath. for s. per day ($8 for two
people) or q parlor. bedroom and bath for $12
and upward. The prices in the restaurant are
no higher than In other hotels Of the frst clasa.

Had Ample Assets.

Continuing his testimony. Mr.. Holland
stated he carried $500 900 worth of Sc
curities and had 100000 in bank to
back up his deals. He declared he had a
contract with Wade to make delivery
when requested. He said he was al
ways prepared to deliver stock. If he
did not have it on hand when ordered
he would buy or borrow 1t to I'LL the
order.
Objection was made by District Attor-
ney Baker when MIR. Davis sought to
show the character Of Hollands deal
ings with brokers other than Wade. Mr..
Davis said. II want to show that this IL
a man Of substance and that he Is not
dealing in wind. sand or straw The
circuit excluded the testimony.
Witness said the stock was sent to
BROKERS by registered mail or through
banks. He declared there were fewer
demands for stock from Wade than any
other broker on his circuit. He identi-
fed the registered mail cards showing
that he had delivered two blocks Of stock
to Wade.
The United States attorney then cross
sought to show that Holland carried
little II any stock, but this was not
prove. the witness declaring that he did
an average business of from 5000 to 10000
shares bought and sold daily.
Cross-examined as to whether or not
delivery was contemplated. Holland de-
clared he always stood ready to I'LL the
orders he received.
The defense announced the close Of its
case and the consideration Of the prayers
followed. Assistant United States At

TRIAL IS NEARING the END
TEST CASE TO DECIDE FUTURE
OF BUCKET SHOPS.
Percy Wade, the Defendant, Resumes
the Witness Stand Under
Cross

The test case which is to decide whether
| bucket shops" may be conducted In the
District will probably go to tho jury to-
morrow. At today's session of Criminal
Court No. the government scored by
securing the exclusion of the testimony
of New York and Philadelphia broker,
who were called to show that the busi-
| ness Of the Stock. Grain and Provision
Company. with which Percy Wade. the
defendant. dealt. was legitimate stock
brokerage business. Justice Barnard held
the proffered testimony immaterial.
The cross-examination of Wade. which
was interrupted by the adjournment last
Thursday, was resumed today. Replying
to the inquiries Of United States At
torney Baker. Wade admitted that he
had bought and sold wheat, corn and oats.
and that there never was receipt or de-
livery of the commodities
Mr.. Baker then asked If Wade had not
"bucketed' a trade in his own Office. The
witness said he did not know the mean
ing OF the expression.
In answer to the courts inquiry Wade
said it was always understood that stock
would be delivered II demanded. but ad-
mitted that in his experience he had never
been called upon to make actual delivery.
Winfield the Witness.
Attorneys II. E. Davis and John e.
Laskey. counsel for the defense. next
called George F. Winfield Of New York

he is a broker and dealt with the Stock.
Grain and Provision Company Of New
Jersey. Counsel proceeded to inquire as
to his dealings with the latter company
when Assistant United States Attorney
Mcnamara interposed the objection that
the answer would be immaterial. After q
discussion the court decided to exclude the
testimony. Mr.. Winfield was excused and
the defense decided not to put on Phila.
delphia broker who had been summoned
to give similar testimony.
The next witness called was G. Wesley

THE FIRST FRUITS.

Convinced that Judge Taft
would be elected, the Pennsyl-
vania company closed, on the
day before the election, S., 900, =
600 contract with the Westing-
house company for the electrifi
cation of its tunnels from New
Jersey to Long Island City and
the extension of electrical opera
ton on its Long Island railroad.
The contract had been hanging
fire for some time, because the
directors feared to make so big
an investment while confronted
by the possibility of business de-
preston in consequence of Mr..
Bryan's election. But perceiving
that the election of Judge Taft
was, practically, sure, they
closed the contract on last Mon
day.
This contract, which must be
completed within twenty months,
will give employment to a daily
average of 1000 men in the
Westinghouse works. Hundreds
of others will be employed in
other plants from which material
is supplied to the Westinghouse
company. Thus a notable effect
will be produced in an industrial
way by this one contract, and
there is no question that others
will follow promptly.-Ex-

steady despite the fact that east

The hog trade was active all

ket is strong and prices relative

at eastern markets. Values to-
day ranged from $50 to $5. 80.
The sheep market was active
all week and prices closed strong
to little higher. Receipts were
liberal and all offerings sold.
Good feeding ewes brought $500
to S3.05 freight paid, feeding
lambs S4.65 to $3.50 freight paid,

A presidential candidate is
fortunate if, like Taft, he has
both the farmers and the cities
on his side.
That ancient Democratic fable
about 40, 900 majority in Mis-

Taft's electoral vote is almost
as large as Roosevelt's. The
