the recesses would not continue 1ndeh-
nitely from day to day. Out Of the dis
cussion came the agreement to vote at

A dispatch from Annapolis last night
says
Until some conclusions are reached be-
tween the hotel owners and managers
| and the members of the convention cOmA
mittee regarding rates to be charged
guests during the convention week. no
| further action will be taken by the legis-
lature upon the different propositions to
| regulate the rates and inquire into the
| attitude of the hotel men.
Legislature May Act.
IF the matter can be settled to the
satisfaction Of the convention committee,
then it is thought the legislature will
drop the measures it is now considering.
If. however, the question of rates and
the attitude Of the hotel men is not &C
ceptable to the convention committee,
then it is believed the legislature unques-
tionably will pass some of the bills regu-
lating rates, either by placing the hotels
under the supervision Of the public utili-
ties commission or by fixing a maximum
rate in bill
The belief in Annapolis is that the
| hotel men owe it to the city and the peo-
pie generally to be entirely frank and
open about their rates, and that their
apparent reluctance to give their rates
publicly is calculated to create bad i'm
preston. which may cause them to suffer
| unjustly. The hotel men, it is said. are
expected to 60 to Annapolis Thursday
afternoon to appear before the corpora
! ton committee and the city senators
and there to state their case
