Especial to Times-Recorder9


ATLANTA, Ca, June 30.-When the
Fulton county grand jury meets to-

oners arrested by the militia during
the rioting around former Governor
Slaton's country home, will be turned

The men who were arrested may be
indicted either for "riot," which is a

There will be no military courtmar-
tial in connection with the case. All
the prisoners and all the evidence in
the case are now in the hands of the
civil authorities.

Putting the Hen Out of Business

TOLORED ministers are said topossess
a strong affection for chicken; but it
seems that the male gender is not
alone in this marked partiality.
Bena Martens, an old colored woman
who lived in Charleston, South Carolina,
bought setting of Leghorn eggs-costing
more money than she ever dreamed fif-
teen eggs could cost-and placed them
under setting hen.
All went well for several days, when
the hen grew weary of her task and
deserted the nest. No amount of coax
ing could persuade her to return. Aunt
Bena was in despair. Finally triumphant
idea occurred to her. She disappeared, and
remained out of sight so long that her
neighbors grew alarmed and asked what
had become of Aunt Bena.
Lord, boss, exclaimed the questioned
one, "she been hatchn' dem eggs"
"Impossible!" CALCULATED the hearer.
"No. sab. it amt. Aunt Bena done
hatched every one o dem fifteen eggs last
Monday. She just stayed in bed, with
dem eggs right close up to her, till she
hatched 'em, an she's de proudest wo-
man o. dem little biddies you ever seed"
Investigation proved the statement to
be correct. Aunt Bena had actually
taken the hens place and Matched the
fifteen eggs.

glasses turned wrong side up. The nap
kins he is not allowed to touch, but
brings on plate. Glasses must be
brought on tray. Linen and silver are
to be found on the service tables, glass
ware in the pantry. Even a plate is
placed just so, with the monogram facing
the guest.
When the head waiter has seated the
guests, the omnibus brings ice. He then
waits respectfully until the waiter has
taken the order. Each table is set ac-
cording TO the order. Silver is brought
on a tray.
Clearing off is the less pleasant half of
the omnibuss work The best houses
do not allow trays for removing dishes.
This means that the omnibus must not
only be able to carry a weight of dishes
on his arm, but must know how to hold
his fingers so that they form founda-
ton If dishes are dropped only two or
three times, an omnibus is discharged.
And no waiter will stake his omnibus to
part of the tip if the bus leaves the SER
vice tables encumbered with dirty dishes
The would-be omnibus's training is
complete only when he can set up table
correctly and clear it without dropping
dishes. With most of the boys this takes
three weeks to learn. The number of
pupils at the school is kept within limit
of fifteen, so that each boy can receive
personal attention. When they finish
their course, MIR. Stein finds them job.

Training a Man to Be an Omnibus

W7HY does the steak you can get for
w fifty cents on Sixth Avenue cost
w dollar and quarter at the Ritz
Carlton? Partly because of the "ser-
vice." The hungry man who spends five
cents for cup of coffee at Child's is
not over-sensitive as to the manner in
which it is served; but the gentleman
who pays forty cents at the Waldorf "A
Astoria is. In turn, the bigger the
restaurant, the more exacting the
management of its employees. N
A high-class restaurant trains its \
men for their positions. One would
think that an omnibus-an apprentice
waiter-could set up tables and clear them
off without any special training But this
is not the opinion of fourteen of the larg-
est hotels in New York City. Before a
boy can enter any of their dining-rooms,
he must undergo rigorous course of
study in the Training School for Omni-
buses they maintain in New York City.
There are two definite requirements
that the applicant must meet before he
is admitted to the school. The first is
cleanliness; the second, quickness. If
he is not willing to shine his Shoes comb
his hair, and pay special attention to his
finger-nails. he will never be an omnibus.
Nor will he be given the training if he
shows signs of being "clodhopper."
Evening star., 1915-11-21

He is wizard at this. There is no res
taurant in New York whose class of SER
vice he can not tell with his eyes shut
French help for Demonico's, Greeks for
the Hotel Manhattan.
His Training Is Only Begun
THE trained omnibus receives about
$22 a month. To this may be added
ten or fifteen cents out of each dollar of
the walters tips-if the omnibus really
helps the waiter. Apprenticeship is long,
promotion slow. While it takes only
three weeks for boys to be trained as
omnibuses it requires three years for an
omnibus to become a waiter. And the
three years are strenuous ones of fines
and suspensions and discharges. Men
have worked to the top of the profession,
however. Think of Oscar Tschirky,
"Oscar," maitre de hotel at the Waldorf
Astoria, and A. Schneider, maitre de
hotel of the Astor!
Often boy who is already hotel
employee becomes ambitious. The school
now boasts of a Greek pantry-man who
wants to work in the dining-room Ex-
actly how much in earnest he is may be
ascertained from the fact that his ten or
twelve-hour work-day has to be supple
mented by two hours at the school.
Greeks are good workers, according to Mr.
Stein; but Austrians or Germans usually
make better omnibuses.

is admitted to the school. The first is
cleanliness; the second, quickness. If
he is not willing to shine his shoes, comb
his hair, and pay special attention to his
fnger-nails. he will never be an omnibus.
Nor will he be given the training if he
shows signs of being "codhopper.
| Americans Excluded
IT'S unique training that can take a
"green" foreigner, put him through a
quick-fire course of few weeks, and
then turn him loose in a big dining-room.
julius Stein, the man who has managed
the school since it's establishment three
years ago, is a veteran head waiter him
self, and he doesn't spare the feelings of
the would-be omnibuses who come his
way. His firm belief is that not every
body can be an omnibus-any more than
he can be pianist or an actor. American
boys, especially, are incapable of being
trained for this arduous profession. They
are too "obstreperous, too independent,
too likely to answer a curt order with
slap on the cheek. If Mr.. Stein were rum
ming school for bell-hops. he'd let
American boys in; but in his school
only one American boy out of fifty has
stood the test.
They Learn Not to Break Dishes
Mr.. STEMS position is not an easy
one He works with the rawest of
raw material, foreign-born boys, most of
whom have never seen big dining-room.
He must turn them out capable of meet
ing the requirements of the big houses.
With what patience he teaches and trans
lates and repeats! For an omnibus must
know the name of every article used in q
restaurant.
Exasperated sometimes at boys in
ability to work rapidly Mr. Stein will
explain, in true head-waiter fashion,:
"You have got to use your head! You
can't stand in the middle of a dining
room and say, MIR. Stein didn't tell me
how to do this You will have to clear
and set up and watch from six to ten
tables, and you've got to work quick. You
cant be parrot, or machine! If you've
got scrambled eggs in your head instead
of brain, you might as well stop now.
You'll be no good
The school is laboratory restaurant,
in which imaginary meals are served.
There are service tables, small guest
tables with covers for two, large guest
tables with covers for four, linen, silver,
china, glassware, oyster shells on oyster
plates, tabasco sauce and horse-radish,
ancient rolls.
The boys are first taught to set up
table. Mr.. Stein is the waiter, each boy,
in turn, his omnibus.
There is an amazing routine to the
omnibus's job. Before the guests arrive,
he covers the table-cloth with top,
places salt and pepper shakers, dinner

$4,000 PRISONERS SET FREE
Austro- Hungarians Released in Teu'

Berlin, Dec. 13.-Twenty-five thous-
and Austro- Hungarian who had been
made prisoners by the Serbians were
set free by the Teutonic forces DUR
ing their drive through Serbia. Many
others. died during epidemics and
the fate of others still is unknown.
Serious fears are entertained re-
sarding missing prisoners, says the
news agency, "since Bulgarian off
GERS have alleged that Austro-Hun-
garian prisoners were nlercllessly
treated by the Serbians during the
campaign, the Serbians leaving them
without food, and even killing pris-
oners in several instances. 1t has
not been learned, however, Whether
the offences alleged were committed
by irregulars or by rowing bands.
The Teutonic armies have reached
the Albanian frontier along nearly
the entire front and large section
of Montenegrin territory has been
occupied. Since the final battles at
Plevije and Ipek there have been

New York Rcctors Approve Action
to Attend Panama Congress

New York, Dec. l3--Rectors OF
"a Of the largest Protestant Episeo-
pal churches in the city announced
from their pulpits yesterday morning
their approval of the determination OF
tn Episcopal Board of Missions to
participate with the representatives
of the large Protestant bodies IN the
forthcoming Panama Congress. inns
participation has been the subject Of
much discussion and some dissension
in the Episcopal Church. The rectors
united in plea for the abandonment
of sectarian prejudices as an OBJ
stacle to ultimate Christian unity.
The clergymen, who refrained from
individual expressions of opinion,
joined in distributing among their
parishioners copies of pamphlet
signed by them, in which they quoted
and approved IA statement dealing
with the situation, recently published
by Bishop Samuel Cook Edsall, of
Minnesota.
The clerglmen declared they re-
garded their action as a step in the
direction of practical church unity, as
we'll rs an answer to recent criticism
of the action of the Board of Mis-
sions, on the ground that it was ille-
gal and tended to estrange the Ro-
man and Greek Catholic churches
from the Episcopal.

value than a fat and juicy oyster.
"I became a suffragist,"' she went
on, "when | found out how hard 1t
was for women to get anything at the
