Regulation of Hotels. etc.

Mrs. Maud Williams Smith Of
Portland. the only prepayment for the
act to provide for the licensing. in
spection and regulation Of hotels and
logging houses at the hearing before
me committee on legal affairs
Thursday afternoon, declared that
the proposed law would help her in
hcr work as a representative Of the
Children's Protective Society of
Maine. The bill, which was heard
TWO years ago, would compel all
hotels and lodging houses to have
registers and is said to be patterned
on the so called true name" law in
MaSsa chusetts,
" men this measure came up two
years ago." said Mrs. Smith. 1.-THE
only opposition came from the so
caAed first class hotels. These hotels
could not have understood the import
OF the measure for the class of girls
which come under the care Of our
society rarely find their way into
the so called first class hotels. And
again. all first class hotels have reg
listers.
THE cause Of the troubles Of our
society is the low grade hotels and
lodging houses. many of whom are
run by foreigners. Recently a girl
was taken from one of these cheap
places who stated that during the
night her room was entered by some
one staying in the house who had n
pass key. Only a short time ago, a
l3-years-old girl was wronged by n
man staying in one of these houses.
In this case the man could not be ap-
pretended mainly because the house
had no register
How could the hotel keeper under
this proposed law know whether a
guest registered his right name or
not" asked Rep. Hale. Portland,
House chairman of the committee.
THE hotel keeper has no way of
Knowing the right name replied
Mrs. Smith. But if any investiga =
ton is made il can be ascertained
whether the name was the true one
or not
do they have this law in Massa-
chusetts?" asked Rep Martin of Au-
gusta. a member of the committee.
Yes. a similar law" replied Mrs.
Smith.
Does the law work satisfactorily
in Massachusetts?
80 far as | know it has. The law
in Massachusetts has certainly help
ed up
do you think that a fine of SO
would deter man or woman from
registering any other name but their
OWN"
TT might"
rs there general demand for this
law. Mrs. Smith, asked Frank d..
Marshall of Portland. representing
the Maine Hotel Keepers Associa-
ton.
Il think there is was the reply.
The Opposition
Charles A. Hill Of, Belgrade, pro-
prietor of the Belgrade Lakes Hotel
was the first speaker in opposition to
the bill. He said that the SO called
true name" law in Massachusetts
was passed as a war measure.
The passage OF this act would
make 1t embarrassing to many re.
putable people," said Mr. Hill.
Attorney Marshall said that the
true name" law was passed in Mas
sachusetts in 1918 during the war
when so many soldiers were located
at Boston and other large cities.
Probably at that time the law was
right from many angles" said Attor-
ney Marshall
There Is no call for this bill and
no other state but Massachusetts has
a similar law" continued Mr.. Mar
shall.

She requested Miss Hall to explain
the case OF Evelyn Keene of Dexter.
Miss Hall said that she first made
test OF that girl and found. her a
remarkably superior child. The test
result showed her to be one in JUOO.
1t was desired to provide her with a
college education, but the whole Of
Dexter was not informed OF this
plan. Instead she was left to com
plete the grammar school in Dexter
and then taken to Brewer, where
the agent arranged a place for her
In a home In q little group of homes
around the high school building on
the river bank. She remained there
from Sept. IL, to oct. ~, when She
was given back to her faster parents
in Dexter. The plan had been to
place her in home of culture in a
college town, next June where she
should remain until her college
course was completed.
Miss Hall said that while there
was q court order for the child's re-
turn to the foster parsnts she had,
upon finding the attitude Of Dexter
been willing to fOrgo her plan and
return the girl.
Answering a question by Chair
man Buzzell Mrs. Wing said that In
her judgement a commission OF five
interested persons serving without
pay was to be preferred to one COM
missioner who was political APP
pointee.
Judge Joseph B. Reed of the
Cumberland county probate court
told the committee that a number
OF cases coming from the board OF
charities and corrections had come
to his court and these cases were
handled by the agent at Portland
with the greatest care.
perhaps the board has been for
tunate in the selection OF this par
ticuIar agent" said Judge Reed. .
Ex-senator Reynolds said that he
had noticed Right Rev. Louis S.
Walsh OF Portland, bishop for the
Catholic diocese OF Maine, in the
audience.
II do not know how the bishop
stands on this proposition, but ] am
going to call on him just the same,
said ex-senator Reynolds.
From any point of view this act
should not be passed under the
terms OF this BILL" said Bishop
Walsh.

| ued Bishop Walsh.

stituted is all right. / believe that
