HOTELS REAPING HARVEST IN CHICAGO
Bartenders Are Kept Busy Dis
 pensing Good Cheer SIS IN TIPS FOR WAITER

Chicago, June 20-The hotels are making the greatest profit since the worlds fair out of the convention crowds. All records for attendance at the Michigan avenue .hostelries were broken today. Last night the biggest crowd that has ever packed the Hobbies of the Congress, moved slowly through the corridors and the most of the male contingent sought the bar : =
 Manager |. Burke today estimated that the hotel entertained $500 per- sons. Twenty-six bartenders .dispens- ed good cheer-the largest number ever on duty at the Congress.
 Although the hotel employees are Jagged by extra service and the ex- citement of handling such vast crowds, they are nearly all making money fast. One waiter at the Con gress, John Kurtz, today figured that in one hour he had salted away SIS in tips.
 The Chicago Walters Union is see- ing to it that the union, restaurants employ enough extra hands to save the regular waiters-but as a rule the men want the extra duty and service to the crowds expecting-and getting extra emoluments.
 In one short incident today a sharp nosed individual with a goatee and a Taft button, became the most cordial 1y despised and, at the same time the most carefully watched person, with which 4doorkeepers at the coliseum had to deal. l The hatchet faced person lolled about unnoticed until a doorkeeper passed the word to fellow employees that the fellow with the green tie is Burns detective placed there to pinch those who tried to smuggle friends into the hall
 The suspected sleuth evidently felt the report or else went about his real business, because it was not very long until he disappeared. -S
 Chicagoans are pointing with a good deal of pride to the fact that since the convention crowd arrived there have been only a total of dozen small thefts reported to the police. The criminal record has been remark ably small. .S
 The reason, the police hint, is that word was passed out through the un- derground channels that folks wearing badges must be severely let alone or there would be a cleanup of all the suspects in the city.
