ADELPHIA FREE LUNCH
DISPENSER IN GLOOM
Sad, Indeed, Is Billy, Mourning
for Nickels Wiped Out by
Brumbaugh's Pen

Billy is sad. Billy Is the man who waits
not any more, but who at one time
waited upon the free lunchers that made
the Adelphia Hotel bar their monday res
taurant. Some law, some law" he said,
sadly more than once today For he is
unable to reconcile himself to the fact that
he Is to be deprived ~ the many nickels
and dimes that daily came his way.
Usually he is a pretty busy individual,
or at least he was until Governor Brum-
hauEh, with one stroke Of the pen, made
Biy's daily occupation a dead issue. But
today he merely stood around, hopefully
waiting that some one would come in and
sit at one of the tables in the rear of the
room, so that he might at least carry to
them their thirst-Quenching orders.
The Adclpha lunch, that tickled the
palates Of more than hundred persons
was one Of the most sumptuous Of the
Philadelphia hotel handouts"
Daily the hotel served lunch that cost
between 500 and $50. in addition to which
there was an attractive little table con-
tanning such choice delcaCics as pickles,
olives crackers. cheese and pretzes. These,
OF course have all disappeared. and many
were the sorrowful glances that were di-
iCCted toward the empty space that this
