BAN ON SET-UPS
IN HOTEL LIFTED
Chicago Owner Acts on Pro-
tests of Patrons and Ale
Manufacturers.
BY The Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May 25-Guests Of the
Hotel Stevens may now inbibe ginger
ale and sparkling waters with IMMUNITY.
The drastic ban clamped on the
service of set-ups in rooms OF the
worlds largest hotel just a week ago,
was lifted today by order Of e. j..
Stevens on the protest of his patrons
and the ginger ale manufacturers. The
locker rooms of Chicago'S country
clubs and the guest rooms Of most
hotels, however, continued dry.
Federal Court Opinion.
A Federal Court opinion holding the
proprietor responsible for law violations
If thirsty guests added intoxicating
potions to the hotels harmless set-ups
was the inspiration for the order for
bidding service of ice or sparkling
waters to Stevens Hotel guests a week
ago. Even ice water is taboo at the
Olympia Fields and other leading
country clubs, and at the Morrison
Hotel orders Tor ginger ale must be ac-
companied by signed card voicing the
guests intentions to permit no mixture
Of alcoholic liquors in his room. These
orders remained in force today.
But E. J. Stevens, after a conference
with prohibition authorities, decided
there was nothing illegal in the sale
of ginger ale and mineral waters per Sc,
agreed to employ every precaution
against the use of intoxicating bever-
ages in the hotel and withdrew last
weeks dry order.
During an ordinary days business,
Stevens said, the hotel sold $1,000
worth of soft drinks and sales reach
$4,000 and $1,000 during conventions.
Law-Abiding Guests Protest.
THE principal protest and criticisms
of our refusing to serve ginger ale and
table waters have come from law
abiding guests" Stevens said, who,
although firmly in accord with the en-
forcement of prohibition laws, strongly
resent the implication that the mere
ordering of ginger ale or sparkling
water indicates an intention to commit
O crime,
I'VE are reminded that the law pre-
Sumes q man innocent until he is
proved guilty. Manufacturers Of legal
beverages protest that our action tends
to reflect discredit upon and works in
jury to large and thoroughly re-
spectacle industry" s-.

1.-THE rolls Of two companies which
marched from lower Frederick early in
the war have been lost. These men
were also drawn from within or near
the District, the same as were the men
recorded in the three companies already
identified. Many of the officers are
known and are included in these notes.
If the lost companies averaged so,
which seems probable, then the grand
total Of men going out from the District
OF Columbia area amounts to 297. The
information found makes it sure that
between $50 and 800 active patriotic
men were to be found within the terri
tory under consideration.
Number Of Sailors Unknown.
cit is known that several sailors
shipped from Georgetown and others
from Bladensburg, in nearby Maryland,
as both were then ports of entry. The
actual number of such sailors is I'M
known. The sailor enlistments in the
Revolutionary Navy, though large in
numbers, have not been so we'll pre-
served, unfortunately, as the land
forces.

Question To
Be Debated
Teams From Libby and
Whitefish High Schools
Will Argue Here.
SHOULD ALL HAVE
COLLEGE EDUCATION
reported for The Tamarack)

titS Spoi tSu lOI 1UG
The Libby High School debate team,
consisting Of Margaret Hamilton and
Maurice Stockner, will meet tho
Whitefish team here Saturday night,
February 16, in the Jr. Hi auditorium
at o'clock.
This is the first of series Of de-
bates for the championship of the
district. If Libby wins from White
fish, Flathead will probably be next
on the list.
The question, Resolved, that in the
United States we are attempting to
give too many people college edu-
cation" is of particular interest to
parents and students alike. Libby up
holds the negative and the team has
done extensive reading, which should
give them an exceptional chance for
success.
Mr.. Edmund Becker, instructor in
debate at North Central, Spokane,
will judge the debate. The team was
very fortunate in securing Rev. Pats
to act as chairman.
We have been assured repeatedly
that debate is an unpopular indoor
sport but our team needs an inter-
ested audience as much as any foot
ball squad. The entire debate will not
last longer than an hour and although
we can't promise you that there win
be any broken bones or bloody noses
we do modestly admit that we have
good team we'll worth your sup
port.
Admission 35 and Is cents.

Picture Exhibition
Calls 0ut Many
{ Reported For Tamarack)

Greeted with one of the largest
and most enthusiastic school audi
ences of the year, the program by
the Central school proved a real sue
cess last Friday For week the pu-
pills had been studying large repro
ductions Of famous paintings and their
program was an effort on their part
to get their fathers and mothers out
to see the pictures and incidentally
to show what Central could do IN dra-
matics. Each grade had some part in
the performance and each acquitted
itself creditably. Generous aid from
the parents allowed the use of many
costumes, adding to the effectiveness
Of the number. The receipts were
s53.15 which will be used to purchase
pictures for rooms in Central build
ing.
After studying the pictures for the
week, Central pupils were called upon
to name as many as possible from
smaller cuts. Elizabeth Dwinnelle
won first place in the primary grades
and Elizabeth Jean Riley in the in
termediate section. Each girl will re-
ceive prize picture of her own
choice.
The policy Of the school is firmly
in FAVOR OF public appearance Of
children who have been trained to do
some act. 1t adds to the self-respect
and to the confidence Of the pupil if
he does his part we'll and is phase
of education that stands him in good
stead later in life,

when Bonners went down before them

to Libby Wednesday evening only to
meet defeat by the invincible Libby
Commercial Club team. The score
board showed, after the din and noise
of the battle, 1888 victory for the
Libby basketeersT
The score. however, only tells half
the story, for the game was one of
the fastest, hardest fought, closest
and most interesting ever played on
the local floor. The first quarter
started with both teams scoring but
with Libby somewhat in the lead. This
however, soon gave way to a battle
royal in which first one team got a
lead Of one point early in the game
and then the score seesawed back and
forth as first one and then the other
scored. This continued to the nervous
strain and great interest Of the shout
ing fans practically through the bal
ance Of the game--up to a few min
utes of the close when Libby broke
away and went into theo1ead, dropping
in several counters and at the same
time holding the visitors scoreless.
As the final whistle blew a mighty
roar went up from the assembled fans,
giving voice to the climax Of a SUI
perb game of basketball.
Both teams are strong ones. The
visitors have string Of victories to
their credit, are veterans at the game,
