GREETERS MAKE
/. D.. c. MEETING
PLANS
Convention to Attract 5000
Visitors to Washington
Next Summer.

Greeters here are preparing for
the national convention OF the
organization which meets in Wash
ington July to 3, inclusive. Al
ready many Of the entertainment
features have been worked out In;
cluded will be a variety Of activities
which insure the visiting hotel
clerks and managers for the Greeters
Organization Is made UP exclusively
Of that fraternity, shall carry away
with them the conviction that
Washington is the premiere conven.
ton city Of America.
Among the initial activities under
taken by the local Greeters to
secure the required entertainment
fund, is the taking over of the Ma.
tional Theater for the week of
March Is. All indications are that
the theater will have packed houses
that week. A regular road show.
will be the attraction and 1t Is ex-
pected a substantial SUM win be
raised.
5000 At Convention.
More than 5000 persons will visit
the city in connection with the con-
venti0n, according to advance in
formation received here. Delegates
will come from all of the leading
cities and larger towns, every State
being represented. In addition there
will be delegates from Canada and
Local hotel arrangements have
announced they will cooperate with
the local Greeters chapter to enter
tain the delegates and their friends.
No other men, 1t is conceded, are
in a better position to spread the
fame OF city than those men who
extend the "glad hand" to the
stranger domiciling temporarily in
the hostelries Of a strange town.
Outside the larger hotels they not
only look after his comfort but are
often his sole resource for social
entertainment, and naturally the.
talk. Naturally also, they talk
about men they know. and places
they have visited, and as the COM
ing convention marks the first tiTre
in the organizations history that 1t
has met here, Washington is sure
to be widely talked about the COM
ing year.
Local Interest Strong.
Local interest in the GreeterS
convention is enhanced by the fact
that the local membership is limited.
Any other line of business would
muster its hundreds Of members in
a trade organization, whereas the
number of men eligible for member
ship in the local Greeters organiza-
ton is confined strictly to the hotel
clerks and managers of the city.
Fortunately for them, it is said,
they have hosts of friends in Wash.
ington who will back up the local
contingent in putting over the
greatest convention ever held by
Greeters in America.
The committee in charge Of
arrangements includes William d.
Mesenzehl. Of the Shoreham Hotel,
Albert Heath, Of the Riggs Turkish
Bath, and Jesse X. Stevens, Of the
Shoreham Hotel.

SING SING WARDEN ASKS
END OF DEATH PENALTY

ALBANY, Feb. 21.-In a hearing
before the Assembly Committee on
Codes Warden Lawes of Sing Sing
declared that capital punishment is
not deterrent to crime and
should be abolished. He said that
murders almost always are com
mitted in moments of passion or
high excitement, and he urged the
adoption of one of the four bills
now before the legislature.
Capital punishment is older than
civilization ITSELF" Warden Lawes
declared, ''yet the development of
sentiment against it has been
steady. The theory of capital pun.
ishment is illogical. Society stresses
the severity Of the punishment, yet
many punishments more severe
have been devised and we con-
tinually strive to make capital pun
ishment as humane as possible"
