q WH"
Concessionaire Asks Court to
Restrain Interference Of
Hotel Manager

Claiming that Samuel Stein.
berger is interfering in the bust
ness management Of the Arlington
Hotel roof garden where Meyer
Goldman has a concession under
an agreement, the latter today
filed suit in the District Supreme
Court to restrain Steinberger
from meddling or interfering with
his business until the expiration
Of his lease, September Is.
Cites Contrast.
Goldman, represented by Attorney
William Wendell, says that on June
Z last he made an agreement with
Steinberger, who operates the hotel,
whereby he was given the use of the
roof garden for a public dining and
dancing place and was also accorded
the privilege Of kitchen space tables,
chairs and other paraphernalia be-
tween the hours of p. m. and 1890
q. M.
1t was agreed. according to Gold
man that he should have the use Of
the ball room in case Of inclement
weather, provided it was not used
otherwise. He says he was to pay 20
per cent gross of all cover changes to
Steinberger, the charges to be 81 per
person on Saturday nights and so
cents other nights.
Force Threatened.
1t is claimed by Goldman that he
spent large sums of mwley to build
up patronage, contracted for mu-
sic and refreshments and that Stein
berger has repeatedly refused min
the use of the ball room during June,
July and August and interfered and
meddled with plaintiffs business.
Goldman alleges that Steinberger
on August IL threatened to use
bodily force to prevent him from
carrying on business, saying he
would see to it that no more bust
ness was done on the roof garden.

WATERS DENY
PRISONER IS
MEMBER
J. w. Stinchcombe, Held in
SWindIe, Does Not Belong
To Union

The Washington Walters Union
today denied that John William
Stinchcombe, of 1918 Fourth street
southeast, who was turned over to
the Maryland authorities Tuesday
on charges of embezzling S55 from
a fashionable Washington country
club, was a waiter.
If Stinchconfbe ever has belonged
to the walters union, he never will
again, it is said. Harry Littleford,
business agent for the union, de-
clared that the prisoner is not a
waiter, but "a front-office clerk"
Our organization values it's repu-
tation," said Mr.. Littleford. IF a
theft is committed by any memhnr
of our union, we make It good.
We, were therefore doubly pleased
to know that Stinchconbe is not a
waiter as the papers reported"
According to Sheriff j. Stanley
Gingell, who took Stinchcombe in
custody, the latter called up the
country club, using a members
name, and made reservations for
party. He asked the club to ac.
cept and pay for a package marked
c. o. d.
Stinchcombe, it is said. later drew
S55 from the club funds for the
package. AS the reservations were
not filed, the package was opened,
and was found to contain six bricks.
Stinchcombe himself denies that
he ever worked as waiter, but
says he had been employed by the
club, up until about two months
ago, as a clerk in the office.
He eXonerated the club and it's
employees from having any part in
his alleged sale of liquor to a club
member. During the war he served
in the. aviation forces. II is said

THE GOOD WE DO FOR
OUR FELLOW MEN

Gust a Soldier" from the For
Myer, Va, garrison, writes to
heartily approve the idea of a
Blues Bouncers' button or pin
for all fans of this column, which
he says is the first thing he
reads in his favorite newspaper.
He thinks the pin idea would
make a "big hit" and he sends
in "a poem descriptive of a
thought that would animate the
Blues Bouncers-that of sowing
seeds of kindness in this world:
II nobody smiled and nobody cheered.
And nobody helped us along;
If each person looked after himself,
And good things all went to the
strong;
If nobody cared just a little for you.
And nobody thought about me.
And we stood all alone In the battle
of life,
What dreary old world it would
be.
III there weren't such a thing
AZ symbol Of cOmradeahip here:
II we lived as animals in the woods
With nothing held sacred or dear;
II selfishness ruled us from birth to
death,
And never neighbOr had we;
And never we gave to a neighbOr In
What a dreary old world it would
be.
