southpaw slabman of the Senators, had
the distinction Of being the first to turn
this trick against Speaker. The count
on iris was two and two at the time

a strike. Speaker seemed more sur
prised than chasrined and improved the

GOT 'STUNG'
French Hotel Keepers sect Rich
Quick Scheme Ends in q Boycott.

French Seaport, Jan. Z (Corre-
spondence of the AssociatedNPress).-
The exploitation of Apaerican soldiers
by French hotel keepers and mer-
chants, to which attention was first
called by the French press, has just
eliminated here in vigorous measure
which SO far as this important disem-
barking point is concerned at least
has made great impression.
The landlord of one of the principal
hotels. finding his rooms all taken by
American officers, appeared to con-
slider that the law of supply and de-
mand justified in his case a consider
able increase in profits. The price of
rooms doubled; meals and drinks went
up in proportion. a.
Rear Admiral Wilson's attention
having been drawn to the situation, he
waited On the mayor, who regretted
the fact but found himself unable to
interfere with the freedom of com
merce. Admiral Wilson, ordered the
officers living there to move, placed
sentries in front of the building with
orders to keep every American soldier
away from the place. The argument
was decisive. The landlord begged
that the Introduction be removed but
thus far Rear Admiral Wilson is OBJ
durate and the hotel is almost emmy
