HOTEL is DESERTED;
MAY CLOSE ITS DOORS
Not SnOre Broke the Stiffness
Around at the City Lodging
House Last Night.

Hotel De Gink is on the verge of
failure, due to lack OF patronage. This
is conceded by the most pessimistic.
TO be a certain indication of the arrival
Of summer in South Bend.
The municipal lodging house, which
furnished a bed for thousands of the
homeless during the winter, was
without an occupant Monday night,
the parks and Out-Of-dOOr places be-
ing more attractive to the men who
have formerly constituted the clientel
of the hosiery.
A receivership will probably not be
appointed for the hotel, as it is the
plan of the management to open it
again next fall, when business is ex-
pected to pick up.
Monday continued warm, making
the few who persisted in wearing
overcoats as great curiOsities as was
the individual who startled the public
by wearing a straw hat up until after
Christmas last year.
