|MADES' HOTEL,

CLOSED
Famous Old Restaurant May
Be Reopened by Son Of
Founder

After nearly four score years,
Mades' Hotel, at Third and Penn
sylvania avenue northwest, a res
taurant which has catered to hun
dreds of prominent patrons, has
closed.
Since 1S4S the hotel, founded by
the late Charles Mades, had beer
noted for it's excellent cuisine. but,
due to the location, business had
been falling off rapidly for some
time, convincing Gus LynbariS. the
proprietor, Of the futility Of running
the place. 1t has been said that
Frank Mades, son of the founder,
may reopen the hotel again.
Political lights and others dis
tinguished in public life visited the
old hotel in its balmier days when
lower Pennsylvania avenue was a
part of the center of social Wash
ington. Since the northward trend
of the city's business hasbeen felt,
trade at the hosiery fell off,.
In the rear Of the place a foun-
tain played, from which was taken
live sea food and frogs, to be killed
on the premises and served.

international News Service.

TOKYO, May 19.-The lot of some
10000 mattresses employed In the
restaurants Of Tokyo is about to
become a more happy one If the
newly-formed Mattresses Association
successfully achieves its objects.
Down with tips" is the slogan
of the new organization. A move
ment has been launched to abolish
the practice of tipping in all restau-
rants. as a means Of elevating the
morals of the mattresses and i'm
proving their working conditions.
The objections Of the mattresses
to the tipping system now in vogue
lies in the fact that tips are the
sole source of revenue for wait
resses. No salaries are paid the
mattresses in Tokyo restaurants and
cafes. In order to earn enough in
tips to support them, the wait
resses, according to officials of the
association, are compelled to curry
favor with the patrons of the
restaurants by practices that are
detrimental to the morals OF the
girls.
Elimination of the tipping sys-
tenn and thC. substitution of regular
salaries will benefit employers as
well as mattresses, it is declared.
Under the present scheme it is al
most impossible for small restau-
rants to obtain competent help, for
all the capable mattresses seek posi-
tons in the larger cafes where tips
are more remunerative.

INQUIRY ENDED
Satisfactory Solution of Problems
in Sight, Head of Agricultural
Conference Says.

Washington-The Presidents agri
cultural conference has been definitely
dissolved. In making this announce
ment the department of agriculture
said President Coolidge had acted on
the recommendation of Robert d. Ca
rey Of Wyoming, chairman Of the con-
ference, that no further sessions be
called. The conference was no longer
necessary, he told the President, be-
cause most of it's recommendations
had been put into effect and "a salts
factory solution Of farm problems" ap-
peared in prospect.
The recommendation of the confer
ence, dealing with cooperative mar
keting, which has not been acted upon
by congress, has been taken up by
Secretary Jardine with leaders in the
movement, and they have assured him
of their assistance in efforts to i'm
prove conditions and in supporting
legislation. Early in the summer,
President Coolidge considered calling
the conference back into session this
fall to continue its study of farm prob
lens, but he abandoned the idea after
learning Chairman Carey's views.

that Of last year, and the sixth in the
nations history exceeding the 3,000,-

Iowa, premier corn producing state,
has surpassed all its previous records
With an indicated production Of 477,-
$4,000 bushels. The boards reports
disclosed that the bulk Of the corn
crop throughout the country matured
without frost damage. The drought
in the south proved to be less damag-

states its effect was severe. The corn
belt east of the plains states had
large crop. The quality of this years

COLONEL MITCHELL
REVIEWS ATTACKS
Defense Launches Cannonade OF
New Charges Against Navy
and Army Air Services.

Washington-Another reverberating
cannonade of accusations was turned
loose by Colonel William Mitchell
against those in charge of the mill
tary and naval air service.
Through his counsel, Represents
tive Frank r. Reid, the colonel in
formed the courtmartial trying him
because Of his previous utterances in
the air controversy that he was fully
prepared to prove his charge of crimi-
nal and almost reasonable negligence
in government aviation.
Among the multitude of offenses Of
which the defense counsel promised to
furnish proof were these:
That the Shenandoah went on its
fatal western trip unfit and against
the will Of it's commander, Zachary
Lansdowne.
That a naval officer sought to have
Lansdowne's widow give false testi-
mony.
That those who arranged the IN
successful Hawaiian flight of the PN-9
No. 1 were incompetent"
That high army and navy officers
had testified falsely before commit
tees of congress.
That Colonel Mitchell himself "was
denoted and transferred because he
told the truth"
That government aviators are put
to unnecessary hazards and many
killed as a result.
Army aeronautics is gradually
wasting itself away under the present
administration of the war depart
ment," said the statement of the de-
tense.

chell, after exhausting every usual
means to safeguard the aerial defense
Of the United States, without result,
took the only way possible that would
cause study Of the true conditions of
the national defense to be made"
