manager of the LaSalle Hotel.
why not?" asks Joseph Beifeld Of
the Hotel Sherman.
And there they stand, deadlocked,
after members of the Illinois Com
mercial Hotel Association have agreed
to substitute cotton napery for linen,
to help the sun to shine once more
in the erstwhile sunny South. The
hotel men reached their decision on
the cotton question yesterday at the
end of their tenth annual convention
held at the LaSalle, and Immediately
ground for the Stevens.Beifeld con-
troversy was made.
When Mr.. Stevens was asked last
night If he would give cotton napkins
to his guests, he replied
81 will not. | don't believe in that
kind of patriotism. Cotton napery
isn't so good as linen-that's the rea-
son. 1t isn't so sanitary. After sew
eral aunderings-and it doesn't stand
the wear and tear of the laundry so
well, either cotton napkins and
tablecloths lose their freshness. They
look smudgy, even when clean.
Then Mr.. Beifeld came to bat for
his propaganda.
I'm not going to throw away the
table linen at the Sherman" he said
but as soon as 1t wears out it will
be replaced with cotton. When he
says cotton isn't as good as linen for
napery Mr.. Stevens is talking about
something of which he has little or
no knowledge.

German Spy Caught Preferred Sui

eide TO Execution.
London, May 20.--Anton Kuep
ferle, who claimed to be an Ameri
can citizen, who once lived in Brook
| Ign, and who has been on trial charg
| ed with giving military information
| to the enemies OF Great Britain, com
mitted suicide last night in Brixton
prison, He is reported TO have hang
ed himself.
| Kuepferle left a message written
on a slate bearing testimony to the
fairness of his trial. He confessed
he was soldier, said he wished TO
die as a soldier. and declared he
could not bear to mount the scalfold
as spy.
When court opened this morning
for the resumption of the trial the
attorney general, Lord Reading. san-
nounced the death of the prisoner to
the judges.
"Since the rise of this court last
night" the attorney general said.
this man Kuepferle, has committed
suicide in Brixton prison He was
in a special observation cell under
practically continuous observation
but during one of the short intervals
he seized the opportunity of taking
his own life"
The attorney general added that
three letters produced in yesterdays
session all contained information call
culated to be of use to Great Brit
aims enemies.
The session was closed with an eX-
preston of satisfaction by Lord
Reading, the lord chief Justice, at the
swiftness with which the letters had
been detected and their author trac-
ed and arrested.
There is no doubt as to the char
acter of the communications, he
said at was quite clear the prison
er had been at the front and was
longing to be there again"
Chief Warden Cook, who is in
charge of the prison, has testified
that last night the night patrol offic-
er, warden named Perry, came to
him and said, Il cannot see the pris-
oner." Warden Cook Immediately
arose and opening the cell door he
found the prisoner hanging by the
neck from a ventilator in corner
behind the door. He had used a silk
scarf to commit suicide and he was
hanging clear of the floor. Warden
Cook cut the scarf and summoned
the prisoner doctor. The mans
body was still warm, but he could not
be revived
Warden Cook produced the slate
on which the prisoner had written
his message. His communication fol-
lows:

During the last two days rowdyism
in the House has reached such a
pitch that it has been practically i'm
possible to follow the proceedings.
Although some disorder was expect
ed as the end of the session grew
near, old attaches say that they have
never seen anything like the conduct
OF this Legislature. Some semblance
of order was established this after
noon when Speaker Amber told the
members that it would be impossible
to proceed with the work unless bet
ter order were maintained.
On Monday night 'sneezing Powd-
ers" were scattered throughout the
House and these. together with NAL
odorous chemicals, made the air so
bad that it was necessary to open the
windows. A number of persons,
among them women, were forced to
leave. Speaker Amber repeatedly
called the House to order and asked
that the scattering of the powders
be stopped, The members threw

Upper Mississippi Improvement Asso-

Held at Quincy.

QUINCY, H., Dec. 1.-Two hundred
delegates who heard President
thomas Wilkinson's opening speech
at the convention of the Upper Mis-
sissippi River Improvement assoc1a-
ton here this morning, agreed with
him that the reha Utilization OF the riv-
er is the most vital matter now before
the people Of the central valleys. They
concurred III his view that not only
cities along the banks Of the Mfssis-
sippi will profit by the revival of river
transportation under modern methods,
but that the effect will be rs wide as
the valley-from the Alleghenies to
the Rockies.
During the two days of the conven-
ton, every effort will be made to
carry forward the movement to make
the river easily navigable from st.
Paul to the delta and to encourage
those who are leaders in building and
equipping river craft OF the self pro-
PEELED barge type for freight and
small palatial screw propelled cabin
boats for passenger traffic.
