Proprietors, managers, stewarda and others ' con nected with hotel management In many sections of the United Btatea and Canada are gathering in Chicago to attend the Interna tonal hotel exposi tion ana conventions to be held during the coming - week.- All signs point to the largest gathering of its una ever held in this country. Like wise, it promises to bo the most inv portant conference in which the boni- faees nave ever indulged, i ;. -' During the past few years, and par ticularly during" the past several months, the hotel business in America has been called upon to face the most serious problems that nave ever con fronted the business- since the first inn opened Its doors in the .western world. High prices, the problem of la bor, and. most serious of all, the com' ing of nation-wide -: prohibition, are things that have combined to turn gray the head of "mine host" 'and cause him to view the future with the deepest concern. At the convention - about to open here the hotel men will exchange views and experiences and endeavor to ar rive -at some satisfactory solution of the difficulties that now beset them. Proprietors of hotels in sections where liquor has been abolished for several years or more, will be Invited to tell their brothers from those sections new ly "gone dry" how they have managed to weather the storm. Reports will be received showing the results-of sub stituting soft drinks for the concoc tions that formerly passed over the hotel bar, also the financial relief de rived from a general Increase In the prices of food, and sleeping accommo dations. Ways of eliminating -waste and cutting down running expenses without impairing the services will al so receive the attention of the hotel men. Hotel men who have arrived to at tend the gathering are unanimous in dec-luring that the hotel business in America, especially In the larger cit ies, is in a critical condition. .Though the volume ot business la larger than ever before and the average hotel rates nearly double what they were a dec--ade ago, the proprietors declare that the large hotel today Is In many In stances a losing investment, owing to the In rue amoant of capital Involved and the high cost of operation. Many hotels in the larger cities have been forced to close their doors since the advent of prohibition . abolished the revenue from their bars and at the same time dented a big hole hi the re ceipts from thelr dlnlng-rooma -and cafes. - . , ,.. , Ju conjunction with the gathering of tbe hotel men there will be ,1eM an elaborate exhibition of labor-saving dev vices ami new "wrinkles . that are calculated to make the lot of the ho tel men a happier one by reducing the volume of work and expense involved In tbe maintenance of an up-to-date hostelry. Among the numerous organisations th-lt will hold meetings here during the week will be the following: Hotel Men's Mutual Benefit Association, In ternational Stewards' Association. Northwestern Hotel Association,. Illi nois Hotel Men's Association. Iowa Hotel Association, TJbio-Indiana Hotel Association, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota Hotel Association, Nebraska Hotel Association,' and Missouri-Kansas-Oklahoma Hotel Association. Between business sessions the visit ing bonifaces will be elaborately enter, talnede bv the Chicago hotel men. The program for the week provides for au tomobile rides, banquets, ineaire par ties, and luncheons at near-by country clubs. . ,4 CHICAGO "BLACK BELT f : IS' AGAIN NORMAL No Indications Now That the Race Riots WW Occur In City Again.

Kay Patterson Defeated Yesterday by Bell Finals JfliU Be Played Monday Afternoon. .. The Inter-City Tennis Tournament has now narrowed down to Leslie Bell and I. I. Davis. These men have won all their matches, though Duvls has played .in only one, while Bell has played and eliminated three other contestants. Davis drew the blank in the match Thursday afternoon, and had no opponent while Bell was de feating Patterson yesterday afternoon. The match yesterday was different from all others played in the tourna ment In that it took three sets to de termine the winner. The play at all times was close, but neither player was in the form displayed in the pre vious matches. Bell won the first set 6-4, Patterson tbe second set 6-2 and Bell the third set 0 4 Each player yesterday displayed streaks of fast tenuis,' but Patterson did, not play the steady, smashing game .against Bell yesterday as htl did against Robert Bell Thursday. Bell played a good, steady game yes terday, but his shots were not so ac curately placed as in other matches, and he did not display the smashing, crashing game that has characteriz ed his playing up to this match. The game Monday will be the best of the entire tournament. Bell is cer tain to play a good game, and Davis showed in his only match that he is in top form. The two men will have two days rest also, and this should give them the added "pep" which will be neccessary to make the match fast throughout The game Monday will he played beginning at 6 o'clock. Doubles will be played next week, beginning Wednesday. .-. The drawing will take place Monday night, and the teams will be . announced Tuesday. Most of the practice during the sum mer months has been at doubles, and these games will probably be faster and more Interesting than the singles have bees. .

Captain Gregory arranged tonight for food relief for Budapest. He is bringing up supplies from the Banat region and also sending them down the Danube in Austria. The overthrow of the Bela Kun reg ime has been impending for some time. The peace conference, as it made clear a recent statement, had found it Impossible to deal with him because of his failure to keep tbe armistice agreements. Likewise, it regarded him as not truly representative of the Hungarian people. These facts led the peace conference through Its president. Premier Clem- euceau, to issue an appeal on July 26 to the Hungarian people to substitute new government for Bela Kun, point ing out that the lifting of the blockade, economic u'iasuoei!tlon aa tne enamg of peace to Hungary could only be brought about "with a government which represents the Hungarian peo ple, and not one which rests its au thority on terrorism."
