Checkroom Beauty Suing

Chicago, Ill, Nov. 1.-THE suit OF
Mildred HiIdebrand against the
Hotel La Sale OF Chicago for
$4,000. representing the tips she re-
ceived during six months as a
checkroom girl. which tips were
taken from her every night. reveals
a new twist tor very old game.

CHECKRO0M GIRLS
MUST BE BEAUTIFUL.
Miss Hildebrand is beautiful. She
explains that Z. J. Stevens. mana
ger of the hotel. sees to II that all
the checkroom girls are beautiful.
She left her job last May after si1
months service and is now at her
home, 1886 South Troy street.
''Of course. I'm going to collect
that money" she says. 1T belongs

The average tip IS q dime, but
often some fellow would give .

But 1T DIDN'T WORK
The girls work split tricks like
the street car conductors. i might
come on duty at IL in the morning
and work until and then come
back at for the dinner rush. We
were allowed 20 have pockets in
our dresses. but when OF duty we
had to put our tips in an envelope
and turn them in.
Did some Of tho girls hold out.
Sure. ] tried il myself. but il did
not work. The superintendent is
always watching and he can figure
out very close how much the days
tips should be. He used TO walk
around the racks and keep track
Ct the hooks that were filled. He
knew as well as anybody how
much a full set OF hooks meant in
tips.
Every few weeks the manager
would give prizes TO the check
girls. He always kept track OF the
money turned in by each girl. At
the end of each month or six weeks
the girl who turned IN the most
would get a SIS bonus. the next
$50 and so on down to S.
But the girls who did not turn
in much, they got a talking TO. The
manager would ask them II they
weren't holding out and " ould tell
them to get busy. II they didn't
show more tips right away they
were discharged"

Spilled All the Prisoners.

The recent arrest of the driver OF
the criminal court van for speeding
brought back to the memory of DAN
TEL HOBBS. an old citizen, the time
in the late SOS when a furniture
wagon. used as an impromptu Black
Maria" ran amuck from Fifth and
East Capitol streets. while proceeding
to the old workhouse loaded with
violators Of the District laws. Tho
vehicle was in charge of Constable
Spraeue and another guard. 1t was
drawn by two frisky young horses
fresh from pasture in Charles County,
Md. The horses carried the wagon
across the eastern commons at a
breakneck speed, the colored driver
having jumped from the vehicle Ieav-
ing the reins dangling on the ground
behind the frightened animals.
One by one the prisoners were spilled
as the horses proceeded until only
Spra9ue. the guard and a venerable
pauper on his way to the poorhouse
remained In the wagon. They were
lying fat on the floor holding on for
dear life. Near the site of the present
Jail the animals came to a halt from
semi-exhaustion, but Sprague had lost
all his prisoners and was himself
lamed by the excessive jolting.
This wagon business was wisheS
on me as an experiment" he said
angrily. Hereafter we will resume
the old order Of things and march
the prisoners to the workhouse"

After one of the big fights they

MERGER WILL GET
COLUMBIA DEGREE
Cardinal to Receive Honor
Tuesday and Attend Lou
vain Library Meeting.

Cardinal Mercier will receive the
degree Of LII D. from Columbia Uni
versity on Tuesday. At the same time
he will attend a meeting of the Nation
al Committee Of the United States for
the Restoration Of the Library OF Lou
vain.
II is proposed to raise by popular sub
scription 100000 to build and equip a
new library in place of the one that
was destroyed when the Germans
burned the city OF Louvain in 1914
The executive committee is composed OF
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, president
Of Columbia; Thomas w. Lamont. E. H
Outerbridge. Alexander ]. Hemphill and
Herbert Putnam.
After comforting the degree on Cardi-
nal Mercier in the university library at
2:30 o'clock Mr.. Butler will hold a re-
ception at his home, go Morningside
drive, at which the Louvain project will
be launched. The Cardinal is especially
interested in Louvain University as he
was a student there and member OF
the faculty. He is expeced to discuss
the subject In his address.
The burning OF the Louvain Library
was a deliberate act OF wanton and in
sensate crime. This Is the view taken
by NJ. Delannoy, librarian of the uni
versity. who witnessed its destruction by
German soldiers equipped with special
apparatus. Nothing was spared and
the loss of over 1000 dTeplaceable
volumes and manuscripts is beyond re-
pair.

ing tho most precious OF all muniments.

SHERIFF ROW STILL
PERPLEXES QUEENS
Latest Court Decision Only In
creases Doubt as to Next
Election.
MITCHELL STANDING PAT
Incumbent Says He Was Put
In for Three Years and
VIII Stick.

Public officials, as wen as politicians
Of Queens, together with all of the best
attorneys Of the county are greatly per-
picked as the result of the decision of the
Appellate Division OF the Supreme Court
in the Second Department, which set
aside the decision of Justice Leander B.
Faber and directing that an election of
Sheriff in that county take place this
next election. Unless some decision is
given by the Court of Appeals, to which
court an appeal is to be taken at once,
setting the time when the new Sheriff is
to take office, it is pointed out that the
most endless confusion and costly litiga-
ton will result
In handing down his decision restrain
ing the Election Board Of this city from
holding the election. Justice Faber
pointed out that 1t would be necessary to
resort to the Legislature at the next ses-
sion and have measure passed fixing
the term of the Sheriff. The Appellate
Division took no notice Of this fact
Sheriff Samuel J. Mitchell is in office,
and yesterday he stated that he proposed
to NIL out his three year term to the min
ute He was elected on January 23,
1917, and sworn in on his term on Feb
ruary !, 1917. The term Is three years.
Even the Sheriff himself ie in doubt
whether his term began January 23 or
February 1.
Il am now in office and I propose to
serve my term to the last minute" said
Sheriff Mitchell yesterday. 81 was
elected for three years and I propose
to collect salary for that term IL
have to go to the courts to get It II
the courts want some other man in here
to serve for part of the time that I
have been elected for and pay him a
salary as well as myself, l have no
objections, but they are not going to
get me out until get the salary for
the full three years"
AS the law now stands II provides
, that a sheriff elected In November shall
| take office in the succeeding January 1.
Justice Faber pointed out that the Legis-
| lature could be appealed to and a law
passed which would provide that a
| sheriff elected In November should take
office either on the succeeding January
23 or February /, whichever is deter
| mined to be the end of Sheriff Mitchell's
term.
Attorneys In the county pointed out
| that should two sheriffs be in office a
question would at once arise as to which
one had the authority to serve papers
and endless litigation would at once be
| started.
| The Appellate Division in the decision
| just handed down said that the Consti-
tuition and statutes OF the State pro-
| vided for the election of a sheriff in
November and the fact that Sheriff
Mitchell was elected and was holding
office in no manner interfered with the
effect of the statute and the Constitu-
| tion
