E. C. Taylor Again Elected
Head of State’s Hotel Men;
Fairchild Also Is Honored
Competition In Seeking
Conventions Must Cease,
Say Alabama Bonifaces
Th« man who had the honor of be
In* the nrat president of the Alabama
State Hotel Men's Association ia once
again prealdent of the organization,
having been ao honored by the asso
elation In annual convention Wednes
day for a -second time, the widely
known and popular bonlface choaen be
ing E. C. Taylor, manager of the Oay
Teague Hotel of Montgomery.
Every hotel man attending the con
vention aeemed to have hla mind made
Up to elect Mr. Taylor to the presi
dency again aad the report of the
nominating committee, which correctly
sensed the wlehea of the hotel men
present, was adopted unanimously.
The nominating committee was ap
pointed at the morning business ses
sion. It was composed of Fred B.
Shlreman, manager of the Tutwller of
Birmingham, chairman; Bernard Wolff,
manager of the Imperial Hotel, and
Luke Thompson, manager of the Hotel
Thompson. At the afternoon business
session this nominating committee rec
ommended the election of the follow
ing officers: *
E. C. Taylor. president; L. J.
Snow, manager of the McLester Hotel,
Tuecalooaa, first vice-president; Frank
Cater, manager of the Hotel Albert,
Selma, second vice-president; John
Ralston, manager of the Rolston Hotel,
Coden, third vice-president, and Leslie
D. Fairchild, secretary and treasurer.
Mr, Fairchild has filled the position
of secretary and treasurer for a long
time with such fidelity and ability the
members refused any suggestion to
change his duties, declaring that he
was Indispensable to the association
In hla present position.
The executive committee for the en
suing year la composed of Fred Shire
man, Bernard Wolff and Harry New.
Taylor's Telling Talk.
Mr. Taylor happened not to be pres
ent when the convention elected him
to the presidency and a committee was
appointed to find him and bring him
In so that President Barry New could
turn over the gavel to him and In order
that the members of the association
might hear a speech of acceptance from
Mr. Taylor.
When Mr. Taylor appeared Mr. New
arose and said, "Come on and take the
chair—you're the boss, now.”
"I never dreamed of this honor com
ing to me again,” said Mr. Taylotf- with
smiling appreciation. "I didn't dream
of It last night and I bad no Idea of
It th(s morning. It Is a surprise to
me, and I assure you a very delightful
surprise.
”1 accept the honor and promise to
try to do more for the association than
I did when first president. Hotel
men's associations have been of great
benefit to managersv In other states
and this association should be of great
benefit to the hotel men of Alabama.
I trust that you will all cooperate with
me during the coming year so that
we can successfully meet the problems
that are to confront us.
“Many of our employes have been
drafted Into the service of the army
and will leave us for a time. We
should make up our minds to take care
of them with positions when the war
is over. It Ib something that we should
be sure to do.
“The coming of the soldiers to Mont
gomery and to Anniston Is going to be
of Immense advantage not only to
those two cities but to all of Alabama.
Let'lt be understood distinctly that we
are not after the dollars and cents
these soldiers will spend here for we
think more of what will come after
the war, of the associations formed and
of the good that will follow those as
sociations.
"The great factories that made
Chattanooga a manufacturing center
were established there largely by men
who went to Chattanooga during the
Civil war. Many of the men who
come to Alabama for training In the
army will come back to us after the
war to Uvo among us. There Is
where we shall derive our greatest
benefit. The coming of these thou
sands of soldiers is a great thing for
the State. We shall continue to feel
the beneficial effects long after the war
Is over.”
Te Control Conventions.
For many years It has been the cus
tom of certain social, business or fra
ternal organisations to hold their con
ventions In “any old city.’*' so to speak,
which made -them the largest cash of
fer or gave them the most attractive
bonus. Secretaries of several com
mercial bodies In Alabama met with
the hotel men Wednesay morning at
the business session in the Exchange
Hotel to cooperate in cnanging that
system.
The custom practiced by some or
ganizations In selling their annual
conventions to certain cities was
criticised and such organizations
were declared by the secretaries pres
ent to be far from self-respecting
uuaica.
'Competition between the cities of
Alabama In seeking and obtaining con
ventions Is to cease In the future.
The sense of the meeting was that
If any organization desired to meet
In some certain city In the state let
It do so without a bonus or a large
sum being provided for the entertain
ment of the delegates to the conven
tion. The raising of money for such
purposes Is a hardship on hotel man
agers In particular and business men
in general declare the secretaries,
and there Is no reason why the prac
tice should be continued.
The hotel men. of coarse, are more
than willing to cooperate in the
movement and hereafter while each
city In the agreement will do every
thing that could reasonally be
expected In the way of entertaining
conventions, all organizations must ar
range to tay their own way.
The attitude of those discussing the
proposition Indicates that the day has
past In Alabama when an organiza
tion can sell Its convention to any
particular city, or hold up the people
for a bonus just for the sake of Its
patronage.
A Royal *>aat.
No metropolitan hostelry could have ]
served a more perfect luncheon than
Manager Fairchild of the Exchange
hotel served to the men and other In
vited guests Wednesday afternoon.
The decorations were exquisite. the
service smoothly excellent, and the
cuisine beyond compare.
Large American flags draped the
doors of the dining parlor and pa
triotic colors gleamed in tiny red,
white and blue incandescents which
ran the length of the taLle and beam
ed beautifully through trailing ferns
whose green tendrils contrasted most
pleasingly with the immaculate linen
Jairdlnlers of small palms, enwrap
ped with the nation's colors, gave
additional brightness to the artistic
effect, making the ensemble picture
quite as pleasing to the eye as the
well chosen courses on the elaborate
menu were delectable to the palate.
President KXtrry New—not. up to
that tlij»e having been succeeded by
Mr. Taplor—occupied the seat of honor
at the head of the table, while Mr.
Fairchild, although the host, modest
ly tried to lose himself among the
diners at the other end of the banquet
board.
There wore no after dinner speeches
and consequently nothing of tedious
ness to mar the delightful repast. A
number of attractive and inodiBhly
gowned women graced the company.
Those cnjoyln gthe feast were: Luke
Thompson,. Jr., of tho Hotel Tohmp

Wolff, manager of the Imperial; L J.

CLOSE CENSORSHIP
Declares Germany Daily
Losing Friends Because
of U-Boat Campaign
fAssoclateg Press.)
COPENHAGEN. July 26.—A remark
ably frank article by the Berlin corre
spondent of the National Tldenden,
passed by the foreign office censorship,
discusses the seamy side of the sub
marine campaign and the effect It has
upon neutrals. It la generally recog
nised, he says, that the longer the cam
paign 6ontlnues, the few$r friends Ger
many will have after the war.
This consideration together with the
thoughts of many billions which an
other six months war would coat were
the two principal factors which con
tributed to bringing a majority of the
relchstag Into line upon a bid for Im
mediate peace. The correspondent says
now It Is generally admitted that the
effect of the campaign has been miscal
culated not regarding the amount of
tonnage destroyed but as to the time
required to make Its effects felt In
England. The German people are still
convinced that It will succeed ulti
mately If given time and they them
selves are able to hold out.
Disregarding Galician happenings as
accidental, the correspondent says there
can be no question of a big offensive
owing to lack of men as Field Marshal
von Hlndenburg frankly admitted, but
there Is no doubt the front can hold
out. The correspondent gives ak two
of the most striking Impressions upon
his return to Borlin the disappearance
of children who have been sent to the
country in thousands and the appear
ance of a new type of Berliner, a lank
Individual with ekin hanging In folds,
who has supplanted the corpulent Ger
man. A few have lost less than fifteen
pounds In weight, many more than
thirty, but they are healthy and usual
ly improved. Another feature Is the
disappearance of vegetables owing to
the drought. Green groceries display
only lemons and onions.
