Hotel Rates In
Washington Are
Probe Subject

washington, Jan. A. Congress
is hot on the trail of the Washing
ton bonifaces.
Investigation of hotel rates if
under way and there promises tc
be congressional action to regu-
late rates in the capital city during
the period of Senator Hardings in
auguration.
The ire of senators has been
aroused by reports that these rate.
are going to dwarf all preViou
charges and may set new high-wa
ter marks for the nations hostel
ries.
Senator Spencer, of Missouri, has
started the bali rolling. He inno-
Gently called one of the capitals
leading caravanseries on behalf of
a friend and inquired what their
rates would be for two rooms and
bath" for Inauguration day.
He was promptly informed, so
report has it, that any reservation
of this sort would have to be made
for seven days, and that the charge
for the period would be $3.50
Whereupon there was a hectic at
mosphere in the immediate vicinity
of one senate committee room in
the capitol, and one Missourian de-
cided that he would have ito be
shown" He was joined in this re-
solve by several other senators who
heard the story.
IF the Washington hotels are
going to make any blanket rule
that all reservations for the inaug-
uration are to be for a period of
seven days, when as a matter of
fact the inaugural ceremonies are
concluded in a single day, we
might as we'll know it now and
prepare accordingly" declares one
senator. II do not know what con-
gress can do about it, but l do
know that there is going to be a
real indignation meeting of sena-
tors in the near future if this rule
is ascertained to be the fact"
From other sources various ru-
mors are afloat in the capital that
there is to be an orgy OF proflteer-
ing" in the city in the inaugural
period. Just what steps are to be
taken to combat it have not been
determined upon.
1t was suggested by one senator
that the inaugural committee
might have some influence with
local business men in persuading
them to place their charges on ga
moderate basis. 1t is possible even
that Senator Harding may be
communicated with in regard to
the matter, since the possibility
that thousands of visitors to the
city may receive such treatment
from a small minority of unscrup-
ulous inn and restaurant Keepers
as to constitute a national dis
grace" has not been overlooked.
