ELECTRIC HOTEL FOR PARIS
Current VIII Do Everything In the
Proposed Structure Except Pay
0uest's Bill.

The interesting news comes from
Paris that hotel will be built there
In which all the domestic service will
he performed by electricity. II the
promoters of the scheme keep their
promises. everything will be done by
electricity except the guests payment
Of their bills. Even then they can
give the cashier a shock by refusing
to pay.
There will be no walters, no bell
hops, no coat boys, no chambermaids.
and consequently no tips, If guest
arrives home at 3 a, m. all he will
have to do is to touch q button, which
will turn an electric sun, and then he
can say to his wife,
"My dear, you're really getting
lazy. Look at me. I'm up and dress
ed!"
II he feels that he needs cocktail,
he can touch another button. One
touch brings martini, two whisky,
three a Manhattan, four vermouth,
five an ambulance. In answer, a dumb
waiter rises through the floor either
TO bring the desired bracer, or, when
need be, tn lower the guest to the
ambulance.
The hotel promoters lay much
stress on the fact that all their wait,
ers are dumb. In place of the ofdi-
nary Swiss who only stand and wait,
instead of running and serving, there
will be automatons run by electricity
and guaranteed not to spill soup down
your back or creamed asparagus in
your lap. The dining table will be
decorated with flowers raised by In
tensive electrical culture In both win
ter and summer, for there will be no
seasons in this hotel; push button
and you're warmer than when you see
another fellow walking with the "only
dear one on earth," push another
button and you're colder than when
the other fellow frigidly asks, what
the devil are you doing here7"
One of the features of the hotel will
be an electric orchestra, in which all
kinds of stringed instruments will ap-
parently play of their own accord.

There are hundreds of women in

and my appetite was gone. After TAX

TO MEXICO BY j. S.
Continued from Page One.)

government December Ii in answer TO Q
sharp note which was sent by Pres
ident Taft to President Madero on Sep.
tember 10.
In the September note President Taft
demanded punishment for the murdercrs
Of Americans I'm Mexico and sent long
Hist OF specific outraSes In addition. de-
mand was made for indemnity for the
loss Of American life and property but
emphasis was placed on the fact that
those who had slain Americans had gone
unDunished and that the American gov
crnmcnt should act.
The Mexican reply practically states
that the Americans killed In Mexico de-
served their fate and that their treat
mcnt was no worse than that accorded
MeNicans in he United States
The demand for Indemnity for the
American lives and property destroyed in
Mexico is ignored In the Mexican reply.
Madero admits that he can neither re-
store order nor protect Americans and
cvades tho question Of damages for losses
caused by his failure to establish tran
quillity.
So disturbed was President Taft and
Secretary Knox by the tone OF the MeNi-
can communication that an immediate
blockade OF Mexican ports was at first
contemplated II was finally decided first
To take the milder course and later II
necessary, 10 lift the embargo on the en-
trance Of arms into Mexico thus forcing
the downfall Of the Madero government.
II Is hoped that Madero Will meet the
demands OF this country or that the
crisis will develop n new president strong
enough TO restore order in the distressed
republic, and with n sense OF national
honor and obligations strong enough 20
insure attention TO the demands OF the
United states.
