The gross income of hotels has gradually decreased with to time. But, despite all this, the in- dustry, as a whole, has responded splendidly and the saving in food has been tremendous, “Mr. Hoover has said that millions of people will suffer and die of star- vation in the warring countries the coming winter, with pestilence and famine stalking abroad.

When Julia Onnusl of No. 427 Past Sixth Street, convicted of abduction, was brought before Judge Mulqueen in General Sessions for sentence to- day, R. L. Waring, a negro lawyer who represented her, sald: “While the language used by Your Honor in charging the jury was im- partial, the manner in which it was sald conveyed @ different meaing Cosequently, the jury was impressed with the {dea that you did not mean what you said.” “Do understand what you are saying?" asked Judge Mulqueen “T certainly do,” responded Waring. To what extent will New York ho- tels and restaurants reduce their Prices now that Food Administrator Hoover has ordered a further curtail- ment of bread, butter, sugar and the discontinuance of superfluous china, linen and silver? Heretofore the hotels and restau- rants have willingly complied with Mr. Hoover's orders about curtailment of food, but in most cases instead of reducing the cost to their patrons in | proportion they have increased their prices, Now the Food Administration Is taking an interest in this phase of) conservation, According to a Wash- ington despatch, the Administration Proposes to see to it that the ad- vantage doesn’t all go to the man who runs the “eating houses,” believ- ing that prices should be adjusted to meet the decrease in quantities of food and service that is to be de- manded, In a circular addressed to propri- etors of all eating places in the United States setting forth the new orders, the Food Administration| “Your language ts an insult to the aayet court,” said Judge Mulqueen, “Ap- “It has not been deemed advisable pear before me to-morrow morning and either purge yourself of con- tempt of court or pay a@ fino of $250 It ls time to call a halt on this sort of thing.” Judge Mulqueen also directed that charges against Waring be presented in the Appellate Division.

Alla A. Templeton, Frank W. Blair and Thomas P. Phillips, chairman, treasurer and publicity director of the committee which conducted the suc- cessful campaign of Truman H. New- berry for the Republian nomination, are the men who refused to answer questions of the Federal Grand Jury investigating expenditures of the campaign. Attorneys for the three men de- clared to-day that If Judge Clayton vacates tho writs they will take an appeal to the United States Supreme Court or necessary at the present time actually to Hcense the operation of public eating places, but In cases where the patriotic co-operation of such public eating places cannot be secured by other means the United States Food Administration will not hesitate to secure compliance with its orders through its control of the distribution of sugar, flour and other food supplies.” The managers of various New York {hotels to-day said they had not had time to study the details of the new regulations and could not say what readjustment of prices might result from the decrease in quantities of food to be served and reduction in the service, More than one hundred restaurants and lunchrooms of the chain system plan have also signified their tnten- tion of planning their meals In ac- cordance with Hoovers new regula- tions, Child's Restaurants—42 tn number— will go over the new regulations tn detail and adjust thetr prices accord- lingly, said the manage | The ©.

Morris Rothenberg, known to the gambler, accused of the murdér of Harry Cohen, police stool pigeon, on April 1 last, was acquitted to-day be- fore Judge Rosalsky in the Court of General Sessions. | The acquittal was made on motion of Axsistant District Attorney Broth- | ers, who told the Court there was not sufficient evidence for a conviction. shot and killed in the lobby of the apartment house at No. 7 West 921) Street, where he lived. He was a! mer comrades and was giving in-| formation to the police. Rothenberg had been in the Tombs more than six months, The only wit- ness against him was Richard Edney, 4 negro elevator operator in the apart- ment house, who swore he saw Roth- enberg fire the shot that killed Cohen, Louis Fridiger, counsel for Rothen- berg, tried in vain to shake Bdn testimony. Dut Acting Captain Me- Kenna, chief of the detective forces that worked on the case; John Cor doni, Assistant District Attorney in charge of the Homicide Bureau, and several detectives declared Edney had told conflicting stories and had said at various times he could not make a complete identification of the slayer. Fridiger told the Court Rothen- berg had suffered greatly through his imprisonment, His mother died of a broken heart as a result of his arrest, it was declared, and Rothen- berg. who was permitted to attend her funeral, threw himself in tears on her grave. In announcing the acquittal Judge Rosalsky told Kothenberg he nad no- body but himself to blame for his ar- rest, If he had been a hard-workin man instead of a “gambler and para- site," the Judge said, no suspicion woulu have attached to him. “This should be a lesson to you and cause you to discard your former companions.” the Judge concluded. Rothenberg’s sisters, who were in court dressed in deep mourning, wept with the prisoner when he was discharged, [WEWS BREViTiES | Lucilla Geerkan, thirty years old, a bollor maker at the Seabury Ship Yards slashed his throat with a razor and was found dead this morning in his room at No. 1786 Sedgwick Avemie, the Rronx He had been {il from Spantsh influenza, ‘The tugboat C.
