HOTEL MEN SAIL ON
PILGRIMAGE FOR IDEAS
los to Tour Europe to Seek Improve
ments for Introduction Into
United States.

New York, April 16.-One of the largest,
and probably the most jOvial parties
that ever left New York for foreign
shores on a pleasure trip departed this
morning on the North German Lloyd
steamer George Washington for a tour
of Europe. The party was made up of
members OF the Hotel Mems Mutual
Benefit Association of the United States
and Canada and their friends. gathered
together from the four corners of the
country by Joseph p. Mccain, of this
city. There were 165 of them-hotel pro-

bOOkkeepers, cashiers and. most impOr-
tant of all. that ever-present, acCommo-
dating and always beautiful creature, the

Many of the gentlemen were accom-
panied by their wives or sisters, and
there is every indication that the gay
crowd will make things exceedingly
lively for several hundred other passen-
gers of the great liner. The pilErimage
abroad comes as fitting climax to a
most successful convention of the Hotel
Mems Associat ton. which has just ad-
journed i'm this city. The bonitaces are

CAR COMPANY BLOCKS
BETTERMENTS, HE SAYS
Corporation Counsel Tells Lawmakers
Attitude Will Force Municipal
Ownership.
STOCK WATERED BEYOND VALUE

We can't pass the simplest order re-
garding even the front platform of a
car or a running board without the COM
pany taking the matter TO court"
In these words Corporation Counsel
Conrad Syme criticised the Washington
Railway and Electric Company before
the House District Committee yesterday.
The corporation counsel predicted that
this attitude eventually would lead TO
municipal ownership. The bill intro
duced by Chairman Ben johnson to di-
vorce the railway company from the
Potomac Electric Light and Power Com
pany was under discussion AT the time
Engineer Commissioner Harding told
the committee that N,000.0oO worth
of the railway cOmpany's stock is
SO highly watered that it has no earning
capacity. The power company has paid
Sle5 600 on this stock" he said. and re-
ceived nothing for it but a promise from
the railway company to give the power
company a twO-thirds interest in pow
er plant site as represented by the 1884
shares OF the Great Falls Power Com
pany.
The object we are after is to require
the railway company to dispose OF its
stock in the power company. We don't
want the same directors on both boards
OF two public utilities. The directors OF
the two companies have matters in their
own hands. and from revenues from the
sale OF current to the general public are
enabled TO declare large dividends"
What benefit would the public get:"
interrupted Representative German.
Reduced rates" replied Commissioner
Harding.
Representatives Igo and Johnson di-
rected attention to the fact that separa-
ton Of the two directory boards would
still leave the stock in the hands OF the
same individuals. and that any new
boards would necessarily represent thu
same interests
Would YOU recommend that no indi-
vidual should be allowed To hold stock
in both companies" asked Representa-
tive Reed.

EK,SHAH PLOTTING
AGAIN FOR REVOLT
Russia Reported to Be Backing Him.
He Has Recently Been
in Berlin.
MAY THIS COUNTRY

Berlin. April l6.-Information Is said
to have reached Berlin that fresh
plot is brewing for the seizure OF the
throne of Persia.
The scheme. which is reported 10
have been fomented in Russia, aims AT
again placing the eN-Shah. Mohammed
Ali who abdicated in July, 1903. on
the throne. since occupied by his young
son, Ahmed Shah, Narrul-Mulk being
regent.
The ex-Shah has just left Berlin, where
he had been undergoing treatment AT
nursing home in the strictest incosnlto
for diabetes. He has proceeded TO MS
home at odessa, via Warsaw. but VIII
return to Western Europe for the cure
at Carlsbad in May.
According TO existing arrangeme ITS
Ahmed will be crowned in July. Ills
mother, who is now with the eN-Shah,
has been invited to the coronation. htt
MohammedyAl hopes that his own pans
will in the meantime have made such
progress that IL there is any coronation
il will b. the restoring Of the crown on
his own head.
Russia's interest in the eN-Shah
ambitions is deduced from the fact that
while he was in Berlin this time he
received frequent visits from the Rus
sian Ambassador. Through the latter's
influence the Berlin police authorities
furnished to the eX-Shah private
guard of two detectives. who accom-
Banied him whenever he left his apart
ments in the Luther-Strssse either TOT
the nursing home or the Russian EN-
bassy where he was an occasional VS.
itor.
This was the second visit the former
Shah had paid to Berlin for medical
treatment in six months. When he was
here last year he was not in contact
with the Russian Embassy. so far as is
known.
Another story about the ex-Shah is
that he intends to carry out his long
cherished plan TO visit the United States
this year His finances are capable OF
Improvement. and. il is said. he desires
to interest American capital in Persian
concessions.

SELF-RESPECT AND CONCEIT

spects himself. he accomplishes moth
ing If, on the other hand, his self
respect is heavily adulterated with
conceit. he is pretty sure to fail, and
he does not occupy an enviable posi-
ton in business or in society.
A proper amount OF conceit may
be considered as self-confdence and
not as an Objectionable possession;
and self-confdence. even if there is
too much of it. is often better than
extreme modesty.
If you do not believe in yourself.
and manifest this belief. no one will
believe in you or trust you. Your
humility. although it may he appre-
ciated by YOUR friends, and although
they will honor you for it, does not,
as a rule. inspire them with conf
dence in your ability to act.
There must be something more
than modesty and humility. something
which rises TO the surface and COM
mands attention.
Therefore, ! say to you, young men,
do not attempt to rid your system
of every particle of conceit. A little
OF it, provided it is accompanied by
a large amount of -self-respect and
Justihable confidence. may enhance
your value. Avoid. however. predom-
mating conceit. II is sure TO lead to
disaster and make you diSagreeable
to every one.
If you are conceited-and Won prob
ably are-lnstead of eliminating all
of this conceit. attach II to proper
self-respect and confidence. and let it
work for you.
Don't be afraid of yourself, pro-
vided you have reason to believe that
you are well grounded in ability and
experience.
Self-conhdence, even if adulterated
with a moderate amount of conceit.
is a commercial and social commodity.
a vehicle for the successful convey
ance of profitable energy.

New York. April l6.-Poetry and love

is suing him for $4,000 for breach OF
promise. were exhibited today by that
Young woman in the Office of her lawyer,

After Berkeley and his erstwhiIe love

home and forge; to return her latch

Practically speaking. there is no
sharp dividing line between common
self-respect and ordinary conceit.
Each mergcs into the other. Most
self-respect is tainted with conceit.
and there is very little pure and
simple conceit, for conceit, as it runs,
is not entirely devoid of proper self
respect.
Fine analysis is not necessary, pro-
vided one is assured that the compo-
Sition OF his self-respect contains not
more than small percentage of the
alloy of conceit.
Absolutely pure self-respect. un-
adulterated with conceit. is, of course,
preferable to any mixture of the two
but | doubt if human nature has
reached a plane which will enable it
to possess self-respect 100 per cent
pure.
Commercially speaking, / am in
clined to feel that a moderate amount
of conceit, like small percentage of
alloy in gold, works for wear and
utility.
Conceit, if properly handled. may
add working strength to self-respect,
provided, of course. that it does not
predominant
My Investigations prove TO me that
there does not exist successful man
in business or in a profession, who is
not conceited to some extent. who
does not at times overcstimate his
ability. This conceit or overestima-
ton, if not immoderate. may act as
a carrier for genuine self-respect. At
any rate, we are not sufficiently in
telligent to diagnose ourselves or our
qualities accurately, and many who
pride themselves upon their alleged
lack of conceit are carrying a heavy
burden of this despised article.
Self-respect is indispensable in the
making of success. Unless one re-
