Armory Light Tests
Prove Successful

For the second time since the prepara-
tions for the convention began every
light in the Fifth Regiment Armory
and on the outside was burning last
night.

lines OF the building were marked in
glowing lines of light for the benefit of
Chairman Robert Grain. Robert ]. Nc
Cuen, superintendent of lamps and light
ing: former Mayor Mahool. and many
other prominent men of Baltimore.
None of the national committee was able
to be there to witness the official tests.
They were housed in their office at the
Hotel Belvedere and were too busy to
go to the armory.
The enthusiastic praise of those who
did witness the bursting into bloom of
the 1900 lights was reward enough for
Engineer G. e. A. Farley and contrac-
tors of the National Electric Company,
Charles B. Mills and E. z. Carver, in
whose hands Chairman Grain intrusted
the task.

light not a single bulb sagged out of
place, and not one was short-circuSed,

the accommodations ordinarily used by

vention week, the students now being
away on their summer vacations. Thou
sands of residents who ordinarily do not
have any but their own families in their
homes will rent rooms to the visitors,
and the regular boarding houses will
take care OF their quota.
Consequently there need be no fear as
to Baltimore's ability to make all who
come comfortable. Baltimore has en-
tertained big crowds before, and every
body went away satisfied. or course,
none OF the crowds were as great as
that expected for the convention. but
there have been numerous occasions
when 5000 to $1,000 visitors were here.
The only people who are likely to have
any trouble of any kind will be the elev-
enth-hour people, who put off making
reservations until the last minute and
ed with their care will have no knowl-
edge until they arrive. But even these
will be cared for, and they will neither
have to walk the streets nor sleep in the
parks, nor go hungry.

BALTIMORE, June 16.-Let no man
who wants to come to Baltimore for
the Democratic convention be defer
red by the fear that he will not have
comfortable place in which to sleep
and plenty of good things to eat. or
that for these things he Will be
charged exorbitant prices.
There will be plenty of room for all
who come and an abundance of the
things that nourish. The prices at
which they will be put at the dispos-
al of the visitors will be fair. They
will be much less than is being
charged by hotels, boarding houses.
and restaurants in Chicago. Every
one who will may come, and he will
be made comfortable.
1t has been estimated that there
will be 100000 visitors in Baltimore
in the course of convention week.
Except for the additional crowds on
the streets. this crowd is not going
to make more than a ripple on the
placid surface of Baltimore's hospi-
tality. Baltimore has a genius for
hospitality, and 1t is believed that
there will be more visitors entertain
ed at the homes OF their friends here.
without charge to them than has
been the case at any political con-
vention in recent years. Then Balti-
more is a great town for fraternal
organizations and hundreds of mem
bers of the numerous orders here will
keep open house for the brethren
OF their fraternities. This will help
a great deal in banding the crowds.

how less than two weeks before con-
vention time, and the hotels have not
been booked up to their limit, except in
few cases. Baltimore hotels have a
greater capacity than most people
imagine, and this capacity is being in
creased every day by the leasing OF
vacant houses and fitting them up fol-
convention week. The temporary ac-
commodations thus provided will take
care of thousands.
For instance, Col. James H. Joyce has
invested about $751; 900 in the Maryland
Hotel enterprise, which will come to
an end with the leaving of the conven-
ton visitors. This is just one in.
