Newspapers here complain that some of the women capital whose husbands have been called to the front are falling into evil ways. Many of them, so the pa pers allege, have started to gamble and are financially ruining their ab sent husbands. That this charge is . not entirely without foundation was proven by a raid made recently on the establish ment of a tobacco dealers in the Alte Sehoenhauser street. Behind the store an elegantly fur nished gambling house filled with fashionable dressed women was found. The police arretted ainutt thirty of the women.

WEEK OF JUNE SEVENTH Headquarters Of North Caroli nians Will Be At Hotel Lex ington. All Presidential Can didates Will Be Under Con gress Roof. Chicago, May 11. Chicago is pre paring to entertain the largest crowd in her history the week of June when thousands of Republicans in all their varied states of belief, will flock here to select a 1916 standard bearer maybe two standard bearers. Never before, according to hotel men here, who are used to national conventions, has there been such a nation-wide cry for accommodations. They freely predict that all records will be broken. Even now, it is prac tically impossible to secure accom modations In the hotels in the "Loop." Beside the male visitors to the Re publican and Progressive conclaves, hotel men are confronted with the task of caring for several thousand women who will be here to attend the Woman's Convention the same week. It is the women that are planting grey hairs in the inn-keepers' heads. Local suffragists and women's clubs are co-operating with the hotel men in an attempt to solves this problem, but even with their help it has monu mental proportions. The task of Caring for the women is infinitely more puzzling than that of the men. Mere men, it was point ed out, can be stuck on cots in semi public places with perfect propriety, whereas Chicago will hardly permit 1 of the same treatment to her female guests. Extra waiters by -the hundreds are being drilled and booked for emer gency calls. . . Many of the reservations have been made in the larger hotels ever since the Republican National Committee announced that the convention was corning here. Headquarters of the various State delegations- have teen established. Following is a partial list of them: Congress Hotel: California, Colo rado, Conecticutt, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Idho, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota.
