Say He Jumped Hotel Bills.

While Hunter was in this city he said
he wanted to purchase an automobile, and
was driven about the city a number of
times. Last Thursday he left the city,
the police say, without settling his bill
at the hotel where he stopped.
1t was learned that Hunter went from
this city to Baltimore. He remained
there only one day, however and went
from there to Havre de Grace, where
the detectives located him. He is alleged
to have told Detective Warren that he
passed a worthless check for $50 on a
bank in Charlotte. n. c., and one for S25
in Richmond. The Virginia and North
Carolina authorities have been advised
of his arrest.
In conversation with the detective last
night, Hunter said he was from Green's
boro. n. c., and that his wife was now
residing there. He had been employed
as travelling salesman, he stated.

WORTHLESS CHECKS
Man Is Arrested on Complaint
of the Richmond and
Charlotte Authorities.

l.. NJ. Hunter. who is said to have
passed worthless checks in Richmond
Va, and Charlotte, y. c., was arrested
last night at Havre de Grace, Nd, by
Detective Warren of this city. There is
no charge against Hunter in this city
and he probably will be turned over to
the Virginia or North Carolina authOri-
ties.
Detective Warren was sent to Havre
de Grace yesterday afternoon by In
spectOr Boardman because he wanted
Hunters career Investigated, he having
been in this city recently.
Hunter reached here six days before
Christmas and registered at hotel on
Pennsylvania avenue. He claimed to be
a retired business man who had come
here from the south to invest $4,000 in
real estate. He was taken about the
city by a representative of a real estate
firm and shown pieces of valuable real
estate but he made no purchase.
AT the Washington Loan and Trust
Company, 9th and F streets, hunter de-
posted a draft for $500 and wanted
the bank to issue him a book, but his
request was refused. The draft was
drawn on the Peoples National Bank of
Alliance, Ohio. A draft for a similar
sum, drawn on the Butte National Bank
Butte, Mont, was deposited at the United
States Trust Company.

sociation held it's thirty-first annual
convention yesterday morning in the
Westminster hotel. John S. Mitchell of
Los Angeles was unanimously elected
president of the organization.
No name other than Mr.. MitchelPs
was even mentioned as possible candi-
date for president. He was the univer-
sal choice of not only the Southern Cal
ifornia hotel men, but of the hotel men
throughout the country, with nearly all
of whom he is personally acquainted.
Harry K. Brown of Boston was Sc
lected as vice president, j. X. Blatch-
ford of Chicago as secretary-treasurer,
and the same board of directors which
held office during the past term were
selected to direct the affairs of the
association during the coming year.
The session of the convention was of
short duration, as the eastern delegates
seemed unwilling to stay indoors even a
little while. President Fred Van Orman
of Evansville, Ind, called the meeting
to order at 10 o'clock. Following the
reading of the minutes of the last
meeting the board of directors and the
treasurer made their reports. These
reports showed that the association
now has q surplus of $650,000 in its in
surance fund and a membership of over
1900 All reports go to show that the
organization is at the top notch of pros
perity. having a larger membership and
being in better condition financially
than at any time since its foundation
thirty-one years ago.

Mayor Alexander officially welcomed
the delegates to Los Angeles at yester
days meeting. He spoke Of the city's
future, comparing it's rapid growth in
the past few years with what might
reasonably be expected within the next
ten years, and assured the delegates
that at the present rate of progress a
city with population of 100000 would
be found here in 1920.
The mayor also spoke of the muni-
cipal improvements being carried on
and explained their relation to the
city's growth. He spoke of the new
auueduct and of the power and water
supply it will furnish, and of the Los
Angeles harbor, which when COM
pleted will be one of the finest harbors
in the world and make Los Angeles a
great trade center. He asked the hotel
men to spread the fame of the Angel
city throughout the east, and received,
after the meeting, the promise of many
to do so, as among the hotel keepers
this city has a reputation of being a
splendid "hotel city"
Following the mayors address, the
retiring president was presented with a
beautiful gavel by the delegates, in
recognition of his services to the or

soon as possible she was taken TO
private hospital
Although there Is no immediate dan
ger of the girls death, the doctors fear
that the acid will penetrate to the brain
and produce meningitis.
Miss Wilson was a student at the
Lowell high school until recently, and
was known for her beauty.
About a year ago she became an
noyed by the attentions of a young
man who confessed, in letters written
by him and signed ivan Camp Red
fern" that he became enamoored OF
the girl upon seeing her pass his resi-
dence on her way to and from school.
The police will make an effort to find
the young man and will question him
as to his whereabouts at the time that
the attack occurred.
Carrying his Objectionable suit into
the school room by becoming student
at the same school, so that he might be
near Miss Wilson, the young man
alarmed the father of the girl, and
steps were taken that caused him to go
to Los Angeles. From that city he
wrote many poems expressing his devo-
tion to the girl.
The young man was a source OF wor-
nv to Miss Wilson and her family.
Candy, flowers and other remembrances
frequently were sent by the youth. Two
months ago, at the funeral OF MISS
Wilson's brother. Redfern was caller
at the home. He expressed his regrets
and left. Since then he had not been
seen at the Wilson residence.
