SUPERLATIVE HOTEL COMFORT
AT The ST. REGIS, NEW YORK
The One American Hotel that is not
Surpassed by the Famous
Hotels of Europe
The great cities of Europe have lon.

The great cities Of Europe have long
been famed for splendid hotels, in
which the highest possible degree OF
luxury was ODtainabIe. In America, IL
has been said. we had no first class
hotels-measured on the best Euro
peRn standard. This statement, for
merly, may have been true, but It Is
not true today. The Hotel st. Regis,
at Fifth Avenue and Fifty-Fifth street.
New York City, was designed, built
and furnished, and is being operated
and maintained upon a standard equal
in all respects to the famous hotels of
London and Paris. 1t even exceeds
them all In some of its attributes, and
in n respect at least-that of its
prices-it is setting an example of
m~oderatness and economy that appeals
most favoTably to Americas great
middle class" American citizens
should not be expected to pay-and at
the st. Regis are not asked to-moFe
than a fair compensation for the SER
vice rendered, Although living at the
ST. Regis combines the highest degree
Of hotel comforts with the best fea-
lures Of home-likeness and refinement,
there is no advance in Its price over
those Of other first class hotels. Rooms
may be had there as low as SO and 81
la day for a large, handsomely fur
nished single bedroom; the same with
private bath for IS a day Cor SO for
two peopie); or s12 a day and up for
an elegant suite consisting OF parlor,
bedroom and private bath.

Directed Verdict
Loses Bond Case
For u. S. Grant
Motion Of Defense Ruled Upon Favor
ably by Judge Kennedy and
Suit is Ended.

Ulysses S. Grant, jr, lost his bond suit
yesterday afternoon, when Judge Kennedy
directed a peremptory verdict for the de-
PENDANTS. The motion was made on the
ground that the plaintiff had not shown
that the Mccormick bank Of Salt Lake City
had not acted In good faith and in due order
in purchasing the bonds from o. c. Dranga.
This was the third line Of defense in the
case. The first was that Grant had lost
title by his giving the bonds to Homer G..
Tabor Of Los Angeles to sell for him and
again by a deal with Dranga. The second
Of these defenses was that the bonds were
procured to be brought into this jurisdiction
by fraud and trickery. The Dranga-Tabor
assertions we're pretty well met by the evil
dence for the state and the defense did
not make good either on the charge of
trlckery In the replevining Of the bonds
here, but the success Of the plaintiff in
these two respects did not count for much
in the upshot, since the third defense
proved ~impregnable.
w. o. Gilbert, for the McCornicks, made
the principal argument In behalf of the
motion to direct and quoted many authorl-
ties on Interpretation of the law which
holds that title to negotiable instrument
like these bonds is valid IL the purchaser
Is not informed of a claim by another
party.
MIR. Grant was greatly disappointed at
the outcome, though he said little. He had
been hoping against hope the last few days
Of the trial, for his attorney had known
pretty clearly where the danger lay. Mr..
Grant left a few hours after the trial closed
for his home in San Diego. He has left
recourse to a lawsuit against o. c. Dranga,
who, with Tabor, is responsible for Grants
managing to let go of his $4,000 worth OF
bonds without being recompensed for them.
Dranga is now engaged in the banking
business at Caliente, New.
The jury had & cold time Of It the last
day. The court room was bad enough,
but 1t was warmer than the damp and chilly
corridors where the jury had to sit while
the attorneys fought over the admissibility
Of the states rebuttal evidence and the
motion to direct a verdict.

PAY BIG PENALTY
Packing Company Settles 0leo Case
for $97,777.50.
CRIMINAL LIABILITY INCLUDED
Government Produces Samples Of
Product Alleged GO he CoIored
and Subject to Internal
Revenue Tax.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, oct. 1.-THE
case against the Cudahy Packing company
for the violation Of the internal revenue
laws by failing to place stamps of proper
denomination on packages OF oleomargarine
came TO an end in the federal court here
today by a compromise, when the packing
company was fined 5000 and agreed to
pay a back stamp tax Of $50, T7.5O n a spe-
clal tax Of 500 o for agencies. making the
total OF S97,777.5O to be paid by the packing
company to the government.
The Cudahy company was indicted by a
federal grand jury in Topeka April last
on sos counts. Samples OF oleomargerine
had been collected by the revenue depart
men from every section Of the United
States. 1t was alleged the packing COM
pany colored the oleomargerine, which
should have subjected the company to a
tax Of 10 cents a pound. and. that 1t was
disposed of as the uncolored product upon
which the revenue is but a quarter of a
cent q pound.
Evidence Based on Analysis.
H. J. Bone, United States district at
torney, for the government produced a
great deal Of evidence consisting principally
Of analysis of the samples seized by the
department at Washington. These sam
pies represented $4,000 pounds, and it was
upon the basis of this quantity Of the
product that the stamp tax was levied.
An effort was made by the Cudahy com
pan to compromise the case, but no for
NAL action was taken until today. The
stamp tax Of s2,T7 was paid some time
ago, under protest, but the government re-
fused to dismiss the case. The law pro-
vides for a maximum penalty for $1,000 on
each count which would have made the
packing company liable for a maximum
fine of 1856, 600 in the event of conviction.
The decree agreed upon before Federal
Judge Pollock here today provided for an
aggregate payment of s97, 777.5O and pro-
vided that 5000 Of the amount is "a spe-
cific penalty in compromise Of criminal
liability" 1t also provided that the oleo-
margarine, under seizure, shall be released
upon being put in legal condition"
