HOTEL SERVICE
HIT BY JURY
ORDERS
Managers Much Concerned
When Court Calls Help on
Biggest Shrine Day.

Washington hotel managers sat
stunned and dull-eyed today as
their clerks, all primed for a heavy
convention week entered one by
one and announced themselves as
prospective members Of the District
grand jury for the June term.
By serious coincidence, the
court summoned a good majority
of room clerks and other hotel en-
ployes for service on the jury,
throwing Washington's hostelries
into CONSERVATION and wild surmise.
Managers, recovering from the
shock developed reactions fearful
to witness. They strobe their office
floors, removing hair by the hand
full, while the walls re-echoed with
their dismal means.
"How are we going to handle
this Shrine conventions" they want
vociferously to know. Here's a
small matter of half a million peo-
pie dropping in for u visit, and our
desks will be empty. We can't
train chambermaids to be room
clerks and porters and bellhops
can't be made into auditors and
cashiers by waving a wand"
The Hotel Washington Is the
hardest hit by the requirements of
the court. Four Of that establish
ment's most efficient workers have
been served with little slips Of
paper asking them to be on hand
at the courthouse on June 4-the
biggest registration day of the con-
Vention.
These employees are Robert H.
Muir. dav cashier; Henry r. Maxey.
room clerk; William T. Knight, night
auditor, and ]. H. Bacon, night
clerk.

JEWELLERS TOLD
TOBEWARE Of
THIEVES
Warned by Major Sullivan Not
to Make Lavish Display Dur

Major Daniel Sullivan. superin-

Washington jewellers today asked
them to refrain from making lavish
displays Of valuable diamonds which
may be an incentive to the window
smasher, and cautioned them to care
fully observe all strangers entering
their stores.
while this department has made
extraordinary plans for the protec-
ton of life and property during the
crowded period Of the Shrine con-
vention," the letter said, ut should
not be overlooked that the occasion
may bring to our city many thieves
among whom there may be number
of 'pennyweighters,' men and wom-
en- whose principal line of criminal
endeavor is that of preying upon
jewelry stores.
I'm the event of any person act
