HOTEL PRISONER
 SOMEWHAT BORED
Sandwiches May Cause Capt.
 Miles to Surrender

New York, Nov. 21 LPl-Capt. A. the sixteenth day Of his self-imposed siege in his Ritz Tower apartment on Park avenue.
 If I ever wave the white flag in this thing it'll be because of egg sandwiches" he said. My friends, my attorneys, and my friends the reporters, they come and the only thing they think of to bring me is egg sandwiches. This" he said as he nodded toward the soggy morsel in his hand, lis the thirty-second one of the things. I'm getting to hate them"
 With his attorney prepared to file suit for s25O,00O today against the Ritz Tower Hotel Company for al- legged damage 10 his reputation, the captain commented upon Arthur Brisbane, journalist and owner Of the Ritz Tower, in a letter he ad- dressed to Will Rogers.
 T do not blame my friend Mir Brisbane, who, l understand from his writings is a great and good man. How could he betray me? There is a Niggcr in the wood pile somewhere. but I hesitate to blame the great Mr. Brisbane"
 Capt. Miles tells Rogers in lis let ter that he has learned to launder his own evening shirts during the siege but fears he is developing into a lounge lizard from his seden- tary life.
 T have no excuse for writing you" he explains, except that we both love polo. But it's very diff cult to keep in practice in the Ritz Tower We are also kin through the fact that you advertise chewing gum while I advertise egg sand wiches, As to polo, had handi- cap of two in 1920. and although I am 52 years old, l still have a handi- Cap Of one.
 T have had q worry definite con- finemcnt here and have given birth to nothing except q fcw fairly good ideas, l have from necessity become domestic. l SOW on buttons ana wash all my underwear. I am al most capable of taking care of a house for some modern business woman. Gee, I'm lonely as hell.'
 No one has yet achieved a soIu- ton to the mystery of the Ritz Tower siege"
 The hotel explained that it depriy- ed Capt. Miles of service because his bill was unpaid. Capt. Miles coun- tered with the assertion that he has offered his check in payment. and that his monthly income of S1,75o insures the hotel against loss. Hc insists he has offered to settle his S70o bill, but the hotel management Genies this.
