RENTS
In N. Y. HOTEL
5-Room Apartment Brings
$4,000 a Year at New
Ambassador.

A striking indication OF the demand
for high-class residential accommoda- =
tions in New York and the steady in
crease in prices being paid for space
OF this nature is revealed by a state
ment by the management OF the new
Ambassador Hotel. now under con-
struction at Park avenue. betwe0,
Fifty-first and Fifty-second streets.
Although the hotel will not open be-
fore October |. the management an
nounces that enough applications al
ready have been received for residen-
tial accommodations to more than fill
the amount of space that will be leas-
ed to permanent guests. No reserva-
tions. however. have as yet been al
lotted.
Five-room apartments are listed at
$4,000 to $50. 600 a year. Some of these
suites include maids room. boudoir,
baths, foyers and private halls. Three
room apartments will rent for from
81, 900 to $1,000 per year. While same
Of the apartments will be listed at
the rate of $50 per room a year. the
1900 to 5000 per room.
Highest In L. =.
While these prices probably repre-
sent higher figure than those
charged by any other hotel in the
United States, investigation among
the first class hotels of New York
would reveal sharp advance in the
prices asked for permanent suites
as a result of the strong demand for
living quarters of this description.
The shortage of servant labor is
among the chief contributing causes
OF these conditions. With regard to
the situation an official of the Am
bassador Hotel made this statement:
1T is really amazing to note the
rush New Workers are making to
secure permanent quarters in hotels.
Although only about 800 of the Am
bassador's rooms will be devoted TO
the use of permanent guests. we are
being overwhelmed with applications
for space OF this kind.
At our temporary offices, II West
Forty-sixth street, every mail is
bringing applications for reservations
and we take this as an Indication
that there are many more people in
New York who want to live in hotels
than there are hotels to take care Of
them.
NO doubt an investigation would
show that all the better class of
hotels are being compelled to turn
away many persons who desire to
become permanent guests. If this is
the case. it may be expected that the
next few years will witness the con-
struction of large number of new
hotels and apartment houses in this
city"

CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Major league club owners today met in joint ses- sion and received the recommenda- tions of the joint nominating com mittee for chairman of the national baseball commission to succeed Au- gust Herman, whose resignation be- came effective today Five names were submitted by the committee and final decision was left to Pres. identsl John Heydler of the National league, and B. B. Johnson of the American league, who will announce their decision at their discretion.
 The names of the men submitted, according to club owners, were:
 Judge K M Landis. Chicago; Will liam Edwards, New York; State Sen- ator J. E. Walker, New York; Harvey T. Woodruff, sporting editcr, Chica- go Tribune, and J. Conway Toole, New York.
 Of the foregoing names, those of Senator Walker and MT. Woodruff were most prominently mentioned. Retiring Chairman Herman declared to newspaper men that he favored the selection of Woodruff as his suc- cessor, because he was of the opinion that a newspaper. man was best fit ted for the positiNn. A high official
 in the American league said the name of Judge Landis could be elimi- mated, as the federal judge would not be chosen.
 A resolution commenting the work of Herman aS chairman of the com mittee since it's inception, was pre- sented and adopted.
 A slight increase in admission charges to the championship games of 1920 also was decided upon. The scala for unreserved seats in the bleachers, pavillions and grand stands this swear will be 50 cents, 75 cHlts and s1, war tax included. The re serve seat scale will be decided upon by the individual clubs.

 To Mothers Club

About 25 mothers were present yes terday afternoon at the meeting of the Mothers club at the Y. M. C. A. Ed. J. Lawrenson, athletic coach for the high school, spoke on the Value of Athletics" and Mir Haley of the Scoville eVangelistic party, entertain- cd the club with singing and ~51aw- ing.
 Coach Lawrenson said in his talk that the reason that a number of mothers objected to their children taking part in athletics was because they were afraid that they would be injured. He pointed out to the moth CTS that more children are injured on the streets of Bisbee every year than are injured in athletics in the schools. He also pointed out that If the boys took more interest in athletics they would not roam the streets or spend their spare time In the pool halls every night. He suggested as rem edy to this evil party once week at the homes of the different stu dents.
 MT Lawrenson told the good fea- lures of athletics in developing self control. respect for the other players, and teaching the students team work"
 He gave as an example, the high school basketball team for which there were 25 aspirants at the be- ginning of the season, though only five were picked for the team.
 The club voted to have it's next meeting at the Y. w. c. A. on Feb. 25 The speaker for this occasion will be Miss Catherine Goodrich. the Copper Queen librarian. She will speak on Good Reading for Boys and Girls"

To Sail in March

NEW YORK, Feb 11.-Paris cable advices received here today state that Georges Carpenter, European heavy weight champion, will sail for this country on March 13 and expects to box Jack Dempsey for the worlds title, in the United States, during the month of September. In addition to Carpentier and his manager, Des- camps, the party will include two French pugilists of lighter classes, Charles Ledoux and Georges Papin.
 It is understood that Carpentier has both film and vaudeville contracts which will occupy his time for four or five months after his arrival in America. Before the expiration of these contracts, it is expected that the sensational French pugilist will have been formerly signed to meet Demp- sey for the title.
 Tex Rickard, who promoted the con test between Willard and Dempsey last July at Toledo, refused today to discuss the report that Carpenter was coming to this country under contract with him. It is known, however, that Descamps has requested Rickard to secure matches for both Ledoux and Papin, which leads to the general ex- pectation that Rickard will announce the formal matching of Carpenter and Dempsey shortly after the form CTS arrival. In case Dempsey is un- available for any reason, Mike ODowd or a promising light heavy weight may be used as Carpenters opponent in the Frenchman's ring debut in America.

 The reinstatement of Carl Mays was said to be automatic because a suspension, as in this players case, is seldom carried over into another season.
 The awarding of third place in the American league race for 1919 to the New York club was declared to have been a sportsmanlike move by Frank Navin.
 Failure of the major leagues to get in touch with the minor leagues pre- vented the holding of a joint session at which it was hoped that a new agreement would be reached.

STOCKS AND BONDS
sY REVIEW LEASED WIRE

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Trading on the stock exchange today was dlVlQeo into three distinct phases, heaVy to weak tone prevailing the early dealings with irregular rallies during the mid.session and another sharp re- versal at the disorderly close.
 Resumption of selling for both ac- counts at the outset doubtless had its inception in the more unfaVoraple railroad labor situation and various uncertainties attendant upon the im- pending holiday.
 Very heavy offerings of the flrst hour. which comprised almost one third of the days turnover, represent ed a combination of enforced hqulda ton and bearish pressure. Reports agreed that much of the selling came from disheartened traders and weak ened speculative accounts. While the decline was in full swing virtually all classes of stocks established new low records. In many instances losses ranging from 25 to 100 points from highest quotations of tue previous month were registered
 The most disturbing feature was the weakness of investment rails, which rallied only feeDly only when stocks of less intrinsic worth respond ed for short covering Some of the high class transportations with as sured dividend reputations, were at lowest prices in one to almost three years. Sales amounted to 1,375,OOo shares.
 The movement of bonds was in keeping with stocks, rails losing to 1h points. Liberty issues were irreg- ular, internationals steady. Total sales. par value, aggregated $14,150,- 900. old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
