MIDDLE CLASS
HOTELS MORE
NOW IN LONDON
As Result Of Change in Hotel
Life in That City is Under
going at Present.

LONDON, Jan Hotel life Of
London is undergoing an important
change which is proving disastrous
to old fashioned houses, This is an
evolution in the management of the
middle class hotels. The last decade
saw the introduction Of fashionable
restaurant as the most conspicuous
and profitable feature of the high
priced hotels. In teh old days dining
in public was continental custom;
British people Of the upper classes
sought privacy and retirement. When
men were dining out they sought
their clubs, or small restaurants, and
ladies did not dine at hotels or res
taurants often except when travel
ing. The big restaurants with music
and evening dress were the resort
only Of the ultra gay set.
The new hotel life which is fast
coming into vogue means the large
and brilliantly lighted hotels, with
music and crowds, for the middle
classes. In some details these hotels
are patterned on American lines, but
in some respects they 90 beyon Amer

handicpas to hotel patrons Of the
older days. What are now termed
Inclusive" rates were hardly

known. Charges for rooms were
reasonable, but when to those charges
were added separate items for bath,
fires, lights and attendance, stopping
at middle class hotel became more
expensive than in American cities.
Two dollars, or two dollars and a
half, per day were the standard rates
for the room alone, without the tar
if of extras.
The ultra modern landlords have
discovered that the public wants to
know the round sum that a days en-
tertainment will cost. Consequently
the inclusive" rate. This charge in
the popular houses now covers bed
room. bath and breakfast, as well as
the lights and fires. Some of the
largest houses provide this scale OF
entertainment for a dollar and half
to two dollars. All Of those houses
are developments of the last three
or four years, They make partlcu-
lar appeal to English people from
the country and provincial cities, and
the people of the middle class with
small incomes but Of good station in
life are the ones who respond.
Provincials and army officers stay
ing in London crowd these places,
and more hotels of The same type are
sure to appear. Meantime, the big,
drcary old-fashioned houses are
nearly empty. Some are closing.
One of them ost famous in England
has rented about half its floor space
to the government for Offices. Others
probably will pass into the hands of
the new companies.

 Jewry During the Year.

New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. 18.-Henry Morgenthau, former ambassador to Turkey, was tonight presented with a gold medal which is annually awarded by the Independent Order of BNai B'Rith to the man who has done most for Jewry during the year. The pres entation speech was made by Charles Hartman of New York. The especial achievement of the former ambassador was his efforts to relieve his starving co-erligionists in Palestine and Turkey by securing United States vessels to carry food supplies and clothing to them.
 Former President William H. Taft. who was the recipient of the medal in 1912, spoke and praised MT. Nor genthau's work highly.
 MT. Taft was presented with the medal for his refusal to renew com mercial treaty with Russia. when that country declined to recognize American passports of persons of Russian birth and Jewish faith.
 The ceremonies were held at hotel in the presence of 400 specially invited guests and a banquet followed. Among those present were President Arthur T. Had1ey of Yale, Former Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, Lieutenant Gov ernor Clifford B. Wilson and Judge A. K Cohen of Boston. Colonel I. M. Ullman of this city was toastmaster.

TEIPER CASE WILL

Testimony Closed With Cross Exam

Buffalo, N. r., Dec. 1S.-Testimony in the case of John Edward Teiper, on trial charged with the murder of his mother, closed today with the com plet1on of the cross examination of the defendant. Summing up will occupy tomorrow and Wednesday and the case will go to the jury on Thursday.
 District Attorney Moore's question Ing today took the witness over all phases of the tragedy, but the district attorney concerned himself especially with the revolvers which have figured in the case. Teiper claimed to have bought the revolver found near the murder scene after he had lost another automotic pistol. Today he admitted that he had found the lost automa tlc four or five days before the murder and that he had falsely told District Attorney Dudley after the murder that the pistol had not been found

CONFERENCE ON NEWS
 PRINT PAPER SITUATION.
Federal Trade Commission Sending ln-

Washington Dec. 1S.-The federal trade commission, in conference today with committees of newspaper pub- fishers, paper manufacturers and job bers, in an effort to work out plan for relieving the news print paper sit uation, addressed inquiries to all the interests concerned throughout the country to ascertain if an actual news print shortage exists.
 Publishers of the large papers were asked if they will relinquish some of the paper they have contracts for dur ing 1917; small publishers were asked the extent of their 1917 needs; manu- facturers were directed to inform the commission concerning 1917 contracts and their next years production, and jobbers were requested to furnish general information regarding the amount of news print paper they will handle.
 The conference discussed plan pro- posed by manufacturers under which large publishers would give up , per cent. of their 1917 contract supplies to fi11 the needs of small publishers. There was growing objection on the part of the large publishers to this proposal. The contention was ad- vanced that no actual shortage exists and that manufacturers are to blame if there is a shortage next year.
 Plans of the publishers for financing paper mills to help take care of news paper needs, it was said today, are taking rapid shape.

FAIR MURDER TRIAL
 BEGUN IN BRIDGEPORT Articles of Clothing Found Near the Body Submitted to Court.

Bridgeport, Conn.,. Dec. 1S The jury was completed and introduction of evidence by the state was begun in the superior court here today in the trial of William F. Fair and Jack Deveraux, both of Darien, charged with manslaughter in the killing of Fairs wife, Margaret, in Darien, early in 1914.
 In August, 1914, the much decom- posed nude body of a woman was found in clump of woods in Darien. About 30 feet away was a pile of fe- male clothing and scattered between this pile and the body were, various articles of feminine use. The body was so much decomposed that positive identification was almost impossible and the defense has intimated that it will allege that the dead woman was not Mrs. Fair.
 Much of the afternoon session of the court was taken up with the intro duction and marking of the clothing and other articles found near the body In an effort to prove that they were worn by Mrs. Fair. Two witnesses testified Constable Wilbur Bates, one of the first to see the body, and Rich ard l.. Gillette, an undertaken, who prepared it for burial both testified that the only mark of apparent vio- lence that they noticed was small puncture, about the size of lead pencil, in the middle of the abdomen
 The trial will continue tomorrow.

RELIEF FOR GERMANS
 AND AUSTRIAN PRISONERS
Russia to Allow Shipments Via Vladi- vostok at United States Request.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-America's plea to Russia, repeated about ten days ago by Ambassador Francis at Petrograd for prompt forwarding of large relief suplies held at Tien-Tsin, China, for German and Austrian prisoners in Si- beria, has brought results. It was an- nounced today at the state department that about half of the supplies were started December Is by ship to Vladi- vostok to be sent on to prison camps as soon as space could be found on the railroad.
 Several months ago the Austro-Hun- garian and German governments each appropriated $4O0,000 which, with con- tributions raised privately, made a fund of $1,000,000 for the purchase in China fclothing and food for about 10000 of their nationals in Siberia. Large supplies of felt shoes, underwear and other supplies were bought in va rious parts of China and congregated at Tien- Tsin for shipment.
 Russia, however, claimed that the railroads were too crowded with muni- tions from Japan to find space for the supplies and as result the early part of the winter, which it was planned to guard against, went by without relief. The United States, as Germany's rep resentative in Russia, requested ex- petition of the supplies some time ago, but without result.
