NO CLEW TO THIEF
IN GRAND HOTEL
igh-handed Robbery at the
Point of Revolver.

After a diigent search OF twenty four
hours, the police have been unable TO ap-
prehend the robber who entered the
Hotel Grand yesterday morning about 4
o'clock and at the point of a revolver
commanded the night clerk. J. S. Bower
man, to hand over the money in the cash
drawer. He was given s26.31, and in his
hurry left about so undisturbed.
In his story to the detectives, Mr.. Bow
erman, the night clerk, said he was sit
ting in a chair on the west side of the
lobby when the door was opened. He
jumped up. thinking it was a late ar
rival, when a man commanded him to
throw up his hands.
After taking s. from him. the intruder
told him TO go behind the counter and
open the cash drawer. He handed over
what money was in the top section of
the drawer, and the robber putting it in
his pocker, backed out OF the door. He
ran west in Pennsylvania avenue, and
either turned down Fifteenth street or
went through the Monument Grounds.
The bellboy said the man was a negro,
while the clerk told the police he was a
white man with paint on his face. He
wore a black slOuch hat and a red hand
kerchief around his neck. The police of
nearby cities have been notified.

CHILD LABOR EVIL
SUBJECT OF DINERS
Y. NJ. C. A. Delegates in Ban
quet at RauScher's.
MORE BUILDINGS ARE NEEDED
Hotels, Where Boys Coming Into the
City in Search of Positions May
Stop at Nominal Cost, Advocated by
Mr.. whitford, of Bunalo-Mr. Mac
farIand President of Association.

That the child labor evil is more ag-
gravated in the rural districts, where
boys are compelled to work from 4
o'clock in the morning until o'clock at
night, than in the cities where children
are employed in factories. was the decla-
ration made by Henry Israel, general
county secretary of the Interstate Asso-
citation of the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation of Maryland, Delaware, and the
District of Columbia, at its annual BAN
quet at Rauscher's last night.
Hotels for men, where the struggling
youths coming to the city for positions
may obtain accommodations at nominal
cost, were advocated by A. H. Whitford,
of Buffalo.
Specialization of effort by the pro-
moters of the Young Mems Christian
Association movement and the need of
more association buildings were empha-
sized by H. o. Williams. of New York.

A reception to the 100 delegates pre-
ceded the banquet. At the conclusion
of the dinner Henry B. F. Macfarland.
the newly elected president of the asso-
citation. presented Chief Justice Stanton

so long as there are kitchen stoves
and economical housewives, there can be
no bread trust
This was the reply of a Washington
baker yesterday to the announcement
that a $SO.O0O,OOO trust had been formed
to monopolize the bakery industry Of the
United States.
Washington bakers were in more or
less of a hubbub yesterday over the de-
tails of the proposed bread trust, as ex-
clusively announced in The Washington
Herald. A majority of the bakers said
they didn't see anything to cause alarm;
that they were not scared. and that the
proposed trust would never be able to
fasten its tentacles in this city.
Agents in Washington.
Richard ]. Earnshaw, of the Boston
Baking Company. said:
"I will not deny that some time ago
agents of the New York people came to
US with a proposition to enter COM
bination of some sort. The object was
to minimize the cost of producing bread
A large number of cities were supposed
to be interested in the cdmbination. but
do not know which ones. think that
among them were Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, ST. Louis, Chicago. Milwaukee.
Cleveland. Toledo, indianapolis. Roches-
ter, and Wheeling, besides New York
There were others, too. I think.
TT is a well-known fact that for the
last three years the bakers of the East
ern half of the United States have not
been making money, and the object of
the combine was to enable them to get
raw material cheap enough so that a
profit could be realized. Since the price
OF meat has gone up so high. the people
Of the country have been eating more
bread than ever before. but they demand
IL at so low a figure that many bakers
have been forced to 60 out of business.

HOUSEWIFE PROPER AGENT
TO FIGHT A BREAD TRUST
Reply of Washington Baker to Plan of New York Com
bination-What Dealers Think of Scheme

in the next year than it has for a long
time, however, as there appears to be a
general tendency toward decline in the
prices of nearly all commodities, partic-
ularly food supplies. Hogs and flour
are the only articles which, in my opin-
ion, will remain at about the same price
Flour is held at a price which makes
it practically impossible for the bakers
to realize a profit On their products. With
transportation so great, the baker is con-
stantly meeting with obstacles almost
impossible to overcome
z. Charlton Graves, general manager OF
the Havenner Baking Company, said:
I'VE have never carried on any nego-
uations with the agents of the bread
trust. I have heard that some such
movement was afoot, but have never
known to what extent II had been carried
1t seems highly improbable to me that
any such trust has been formed. or we
bread and bakery men would know more
about it. Some ideas are started in New
York for which we should not be held
accountable"
Too Many Bakeries.
Charles L Corby. of the Corby Baking
Company. said:
These New York people, or anybody
else. could not possibly form a bread
trust in the United States. There are too
many bakeries to make such trust pos
sible. Every small town has two or
three, and in the larger cities there are
many. It is a fact that certain dealers
have contemplated forming some sort of
q combination in order to purchase raw
material at a lower rate, but I do not
think the movement is widespread. There
are few old men 7 understand who
have been in the bakery business all OF
their lives and who would be willing to
turn their businesses over to the man
agement OF a combination. but i have no
knowledge OF the existence OF any such
continuation in Washington
