CAN ANY ONE HOTEL GET AWAX

U
WITH "A LITTLE EXTRA?
Are the police playing favorites
among loop hotels and bars? If
some places sell booze and have
bare-shouldered girls singing and
dancing until a. m. and other places
are denied the privilege-why?
These are points raised in the case
of Ruth Crist, charged with solicit
ing. It's on in morals court Wednes-
day. She was arrested in Hotel
Morrison.
Harry Moir, manager Hotel Nor
rison, personally signed cards of ad-
mission to the Fox Trot club shown
up in Miss Crisis story. Though
Moir turned direct management of
the club over to others Jan 1, evil
dence in hands of city officials shows
that strangers made application to
walters in Hotel Morrison res: urant
and the following day cards of adj
mission to the Fox Trot club were
received by mail from Harry NOR.
Discussion of reasons behind Capt.
Morgan Collins failure to do any
thing with Hotel Morrison has
brought out facts. When the hotel
was being built big sign on it adj
vertised bonds of the Morrison Hotel
Co. for sale by Graham & Sons,
bankers. Capt, Collins was a con-
tributor to the campaign fund of
Andrew Graham when that banker
ran for mayoral nomination. Collins
was then at Englewood station, and
the general understanding was that
he would be named chief of police if
Andy Graham was elected mayor.
When Harrison beat Graham for the
nomination Capt. Collins took a va
cation from duty during the cam
paign.
When Chief Healey took Office he
put Collins in charge of the loop dis
trict. Three reports alleging detailed
evidence of law violation were made
to Chief Healey on the Hotel Morri-

Hanna. Neither Healey nor Collins
lifted finger to touch Harry Moir's
place.
Hanna used to be City Hall report
er for the Journal He's got rec
ord as a fighting man and doesn't
class with ordinary reformers. He's
the fellow who wrote stories and
supplied evidence to the Journal ten
weeks straight with the end that
Chief Stewart resigned.
This is the same Hanna who had
charges preferred against him by
Chief Healey a while ago. The civil
service comm, by action of Joe Geary
and Ed Racey, threw out Chief
Healey's charges against Hanna as
too f1imsy to waste time on.
Will two-million-dollar hotel cor
poration be able to keep the redlight
sign going in front of its place while
other hotels and saloons obey the
law at 1 o'clock.

YOUNGER BROTHER GETS HIS
SHARE OF MURDER PLOT BLAME

With the eye of suspicion slowly
turning toward him, young Herbert
Updike of Oak Park today became
the central figure in the murder plot
mystery where two sons planned the
death of their parents to get the
family fortune. His father declared
today that Herbert was to blame as
well as his elder brother, Irving.
Meanwhile Irving, called a defec-
tive by the police, claims the death
plot was of the younger brothers
making and that Herbert formed the
plans and then exposed them to in
gratiate himself at home.
According to one story, Herbert
stood very poorly in the graces of his
parents because of his marriage to
Nellie De OnsOnne, cabaret singer.
The murder plot and expose was his
plan to get back their friendship and
at the same time disinherit his older
brother is one story.

WHY MERCH IS MARKED
 DOWN

"Shucks, To at this. Here's a
 lccal merchant advertising clothes that sold for s25 last fall at $19. H.. swears it's so. That's evidence that i; he can dc this and live at presen, be was robbing the public last fall. ' We overheard this conversation by q citizen the other day. It is typical Of kind we have heard off and on fer good many years.
 To understand why merchant marks down" goods late each ssa- Sen is to know legitimate business principle, which, after you know #, seems So simple you wonder why you ever overlooked it.
 A merchant must pay for his stock Of goods. He cannot return the ur- scld portion to the manufacturer at the end of sthe season.
 No merchant, hawever, can gauge beforehand just how much merchan- disc he is going to sell throughout LH- OCAochs dHA lO DC ouIG VI dl W tyo having good stock of goods on hand, he purchases literally.
 When the season is bali Or three quarters gone, the wise merchant looks over his stock and makes pre- parations to mov2 it by the end cf the season.
 Suppose, fer instance, MT A bough. 1000 oyercoats. He sold them for s25 at the beginning Of the season, each overeoat bringing him s6 gross profit. Remember, this is "for in- stance" figures may vary and the profit may be less. But the figures will do for cur purposes.
 When the season is half or three quarters gones MT. A, the merchant finds that he still has 300 of the ori- ginal 1000 oYercoats on hand The bill against him for the 1000 over coats, at $19 each, is $19,000. He sold TOO of them at $25 each, which brought in $i7,5G0. Though he had gross profit of $6 on each of the 700 oyercoats seld, he still hasn't taken ir the cost of the 1000 overcoats he Originally bought. So ho decides to sell the remaining 300 overcoats for. what they cost him, $19 each. This will net him $5,700. Adding this to the $17,500 already taken in we have S23,200, and the merchant, Mr. A, can pay his bill.9f $l9,Ooo, which he could not have done if he had not sold the 300 overcoats al cost.

The committee is made up of experts from both departments. They will go over everything that has been done to aid in the manufac- ture of paper and will make recom mendations as 10 changes which they may find necessary.

YALE'S LAST BIG "PKOM.-

New Haven, Conn.,, Feb. 16.-A strain of sadness has run through the gorgeous annual Junior Promenade week at Yale on account of the news that this will be the last big prom for several years.
 Thus is the policy of preparedness brought home forcefully to the prom girls The Yale students thought they were doing their share for preparedness when they organiz- ed the Yale battery and the Yale Avi- aticn corps.
 But now they will have to give up the social event, so far as it's present size is concerned, because of an agreement between President Hadley and the military authorities of the state that Yale will not again ask for the use of the Second Regiment armory, where for years the dance has taken place. No hall in the city apprCximates the size of the armOry.
 The state authorities have taken the stand that the drills of the vari- GUS military companies must not again be interfered with. and it al- ways takes a week or ten days to decorate the great hall for the prom" ball. Then for the week fol- lowing local organizations who want to reap the advantage of the $5,000 decorations put up hy the prom committee have always used the floor. Hereafter the Yale event will have 1 to be curtaled at least half to fit any of the other halls.

New York, Feb. 16.-The work of German and Austrian invaders in re- building structures destroyed by fire and bombardment in Serbia, appears to be of a permanent character, Dr. c. M Cheadle, a Red Cross surgeon of Rockford, H., asserted on his re- turn from Europe.
 Buildings of stone and concrete arc replacing those razed, Cheadle said, and Serbian roads. particularly those of military value, are being restored and improved
 The impression, Cheadle said, he re- ccived was that the Teutons were planning to control Seryia perma- nently.

THE COTTON FUTURES ACT.

The .Smith-Leyer law, known as the cotton futures act. is before c2ngrfss for the purpose of curing certain de- fects that appeared in the measure. The law has .been in effect long enough to have proved its usefulness t. the cotton trade and great pro- tccsion to the cotton srower.'' as Ono authority states.
 There is one section of the law however, that is inimical to the cot ton interests cf this country. This is section II. which forbids cotton dealers in this country trading ia such foreign exchanges as have not adopted tho United states standards of classification 1t has been founl that this works hardship on Amer icaIts attempting to export cotton, while it does not interfere with foreign houses having their own em- ployes in American markets. The ef- feet Is to put Americans at disad vantage.
 Illustrating how this prohibition works to the detriment of American interests, the Memphis Commercial Appeal says:
 "In the case ef cotton bought to be consigned to Liverpool, for instance purchases are made on the basis oi Liverpool contract values, while the hedge. undsr the Lever law, must be sold in the American markets. owing to the advantage which foreigners en- joy of trading in the domestic mar ket, while the foreign market is closed to Americans, this hedge is not always fair. So that the buyer in this country is unwilling to take the risk in buying cotton ahead, and confines his operations to cotton fol which he has immediate orders Therefore. the demand for Liverpool account is held down to the immedi. ate and urgent needs of the English spinner.
 Had this inhibition been absent or the recent advance in Liverpool buyers in this country could have sold hedges in tha Liverpool market bought the cotton here and awaited $ convenient season for shipping it. IT the meantime, this cotton would have been just as completely off the mar aet as if il had been shipped to Liver pool"
 Cotton dealers and cotton grower. should Immediately inform their rep resentatives in congress how the. feel toward this section. Everyon, interested should at once write hi congressman and senators, and othol representatives with whom he ma, influence urging the repeal of thi obnoxious clause.

DECISION IS DUE ON
MEXICO SUGGESTION
Polk Expected to Hold Daily
Conferences With Ambassa-
dor Designate Arredondo.

Definite decision upon the propose
commission plan Of settling the diffi-
culties between this country and Mex
leo L. expected early this week.
Acting SECRETARY OF State Polk Is ex-
morrow with Eliseo Arredondo. ambas-
sador designate OF the de facto govern
nent, and to continue them daily until
some conclusion Is reached.
Grave apprehension was expressed to-
day about the outcome Of these confer
ence5. In marked contrast to the OPP
umism early last week, II was stated
To-Day that the negG.:ations are prac-
ticsiiy at a standstill for lack of any
reply from Mexico City In regard to
substitute proposals informally sug-
gested by this Government regarding
me scope OF the issues to be determined
through the commission.
"A principal snag Is understood to be
the insistence Of Carranza that the
commission shall discuss the matter

United states is that the army was
sent into Mexico for military purposes,
and that Its withdrawal Is UP to the

been told that the withdrawal Of the
American forces almost 800 miles from

the United States desires to go no fur
Their into Maxico than Is necessary to
accomplish the purposes OF the exped-
ton.
1t was admitted today by officials that
the activities of bandits about Parral
might form a subject of consideration by
the commission IL one is decided upon.
II is said that such operations would
have no effect upon the negotiations
looking to commission. as Villa Is
recognized as n bandit, and this Govern
ment has tactily accepted Carranza' s
statement that his supposed activity has
nothing to do with the de factor govern
ment.
The United states is trying to give
the negotiations the widest possible
scope, while no word has yet been re-
ceived from Carranza that he Will &C.
cede to negotiations along any lines save
the narrow scope indicated in his most
recent note.
