HANDED $1,000 BILL TO
HUTEL NIGHT CLERK
Secretary of CaruSo as Care
less With Money as
Though 1t Grew on, Trees

When the secretary OF Enrich Caruso
flung a 5000 bill down on the counter Of
the Piedmont Sunday morning with the
same careless motion that a small boy
would make while dropping a penny in q
slot machine, the night clerk nearly fell
in a faint, and bell boys went running
about the corridor as though possessed.
1t was not generally known, but while
Caruso was in Atlanta he was just as
closely guarded as IL he had been presi-
dent of these United States. Two secret
service men were at his elbow from
morning till night and when he sang ut
the auditorium they were on the stage
This was to prevent his being victim of
the blackhand that has been trying to
levy tribute upon him for some time.
To travel this way one must have many
rooms I'm a hotel and Caruso had six at
the Piedmont He was like the elusive
flea, for he slept in first one and then
another OF these apartments.
With Caruso were the two secret serv-
ice men. his secretary and his valet. As
the party was to leave Atlanta Sunday
the secretary. like a prudent business
man, sought to pay the bills before the
final hour. With that purpose In view'
he went to the desk early and asked for
the bill. The clerk looked over the books
and said $50 would put the great singer
on the right side of the ledger.
The secretary with all the abandon or
youth tossed over what at first looked
like IL might be a tenner. The clerk wait
ed for more. Change, please" said the
secretary. Then the clerk investigated.
He found 81, 900 in his hands. But where
was the change to come from? The cler'-
was not in the habit of going about with
change for 81, eco in his vest pocket and
the vaults locked. But he was brave and
started out to find the coin. Where there
is a will there is a way is as true as
il is old, and before the night clerk
stopped he had $3.50 in hand to give over
to the secretary.
1t is said that Caruso bought cigarettes
with part OF the change and tipped the
bell boys with what was left. But the
next man who springs $1,000 bill on that
night clerk may have to wait for what is
coming 20 him.

The blow fell without the least warning.
There was much excitement among
the 400 men employed in that branch of
the service when the suspensions were
announced. Some of the men affected

DEMOCRATS FOLLOWED

Democrat today. He referred to Hughes,
of New Jersey, and Garner, of Texas.
Congressman Bell. of Georgia. the DEM

on account of the death of a relative. He
was paired against the bill, so that his
vote counted just as much as II he had
been present. In his absence it devolved
upon Congressman Hughes and Garner
to round up the Democrats against the

ported the measure probably accounts
for the fact that u other Democratic
votes were lost.
Congressman Ravens, the newly-elected
Democrat from New York. over whose
election such fuss was raised, was the
only Democrat to vote consistently with
