TRADE PROBLEMS Will
Be DISCUSSED AT Meet
u. S. Chamber of Commerce to Hold
Sessions Here Next Week to
Study Big Issues.

What added facilities we most need
for the development of our trade abroad
IRON now on; what are the changes 10
come affecting our immigration and what
we should do with the alien population
we now have to knit IL more closely to-
gether: what part business men should
play in the evolution of constructive
national program: vocational educationi
d merchant marine; the general theme OF
commercial preparedness-these subjects
all closely related with the outcome OF
the European war, the biggest pending
factors affecting our commerce. Will be
among the topics discussed next week
at the fourth annual meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce Of the United
States.
This convention. to be held here Tues.
day, Wednesday. and Thursday. will b<
addressed by President Wilson. high gov
ernment officials. and prominent men
Three hundred Thousand members o,
700 commercial bodies In this country
Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the
Philippines, will send delegates to what
II is believed. will be one of the most
important business gatherings ever held
in the United States. The principa
American Chambers OF Commerce abroad
such as In Paris and Berlin. may be rep
resented. The latest OF foreign organiza'
tions to be elected to membership In the
National Chamber are in Rio de Janeirc
and Shanghai
National defense will be considered ir
addresses by the President, Lindley II
Garrison. Secretary of War; and Josephu'
Daniels. Secretary OF the Navy. In thi,
connection much interest is attached to q
report which will be submitted by

OF the United States on the subject OF

The reason women and children don't

public service to the people of the city
OF Washington In the fearless manner in
which they have performed their duties.
Zone thing is certain, II prohibition
Is fastened upon Washington, II will be
the dullest, dreariest town in all the
country, and it seems to me that an
argument along these lines should be
prepared and sent to every citizen in
the District of Columbia, to the end that
tragedy may be averted.
Another matter must be given serious
attention should prohibition prevail in
the District, and that Is the ever-decreas-
ing number Of conventions that Will meet
In the National Capital. Dry towns,
high-priced rooms and increased restau-
rant and hotel prices have no attrac-
lions to the average delegate to conven-
tions. On the contrary, such cities are
usually Stunned. That is the history
Of towns that have gone dry.
I'VE have here the foreign legations.
We have here the representatives of the
countries of the world and We are an
nually visited by thousands of globe
trotters speaking all tongues, and Wash
ington dry to these nationalIties will be-
come city to be avoided rather than
cultivated.
Believes In Regulation.
II am one of those who believe In
the present law limiting the number OF
saloons to three hundred and l believe
IS | said before, in the strictest reeula
ton consonant with the cosmopolitan
character OF the Capital am also
pleased to pay my respects to the police
force of Washington. which I believe Is
most earnestly trying to enforce the pres.
ent license laws with but one object In
view, to make this wonderful Capital OF
. hundred millions of people a model for
the world. ~
Personally. should prohibition come r.

conditions, but for one, / am an un.

Live and let live"
Mr.. Buchholz added that a conservative
estimate indicates that fully 5000 person.
here would be thrown out of work by
the passage of the Sheppard bill ant
that the taxpayers would be confronted
with the problem of raising, in some other
way. more than $4,000 in revenue now
contributed in license fees. mo one will
dispute the serious effect on real estate
and with so many important interests
vitality affected. II would certainly seem
that the people should be given the right
to at least express their views by a refer
endum vote" Mr.. Buchholz concluded.

Asserts Hotels Will Be Hurt
By Passage Of Sheppard Bill
Drearies City in Country with Higher Prices for Rooms and
Meals, Visitors and Conventions Passing 1t By, and
Realty Taxed Higher, Foreseen by Gus Buchhok

That Washington hotel interests will be
very seriously injured II the Sheppard
prohibition bill Is enacted and that the
standard of the Capitals hostelries must
necessarily deteriorate is the opinion of
Gus Buchholz. the foresighted proprietor
of the Occidental Hotel. on PENNSYLVANIA
avenue, who predicts also a serious set
back for washington's business interests
generally.
How many tourists or other visitors
would come to such a Capital as the
Sheppard bill would make" he asked yes
terday. "and how many conventions such
as now contribute SO much to the city's
prosperity? And what sort of hotels will
1t be possible to maintain without this
sort of PATRONAGE
win Lose Thousands of visitors.
1T should be the duty Of some one to
get before every member OF the Board of
Trade and the Chamber of Commerce
the results that will inevitably follow
should Washington so dry When Wash
ington is put in the dry list the hotels
will be compelled to increase their room
and restaurant prices to Offset the loss
that must ensue with the closing of the
barrooms.
Many of the hotels. when prohibition
Is put upon Washington. will be COM
pelieo 10 aDdndoh their european serv-
ice and go back to the old American
plan that had its heydey in Washington s
| time, namely, breakfast from seven to
nine, dinner from twelve to two, and
supper from six to eight.
Prohibition will do away with all first
class restaurants and those that remain
will be compelled to limit their bill OF
fare to suit the changed conditions.
If Washington should go dry the
city will show loss of thousands OF
visitors every year and only those per.
sons will come to Washington who have
business with the Departments or with
Congress and they will not tarry here
long, but will complete their business
as soon as possible and get to some more
| congenial stopping place. Our own peo-
pie will, many of them. 60 to New York

Der of shares to have a par value of
