Among the defendants named in the .
suit was Frederick W. Henshaw. ;
former justice of the Supremo Court, j
Attorneys declare Judge Henshaw !

could not be done without naming j
him as a defendant.

• NEW YOCtV
The visitor to New York has all his im
pressions of the city colored by the hotel
which he selects.
His comfort and convenience—and there
fore the degree of his enjoyment of the city
—depend largely upon his hotel.
That is why so many thousands of people
of discriminating tastes—people who want,
and are accustomed to, the best there is—
select Hotel Pennsylvania as their New
York home.
For this largest hotel in the world (2200
rooms, 2200 baths) was built and is operated to
make New York more enjoyable to its guests,
by surrounding them with comforts and
thoughtfulnesses.
Consider, too, the convenience of the Penn
sylvania's location. The finest shops in the
world are just east of you, theatres immediately
to the north, business and financial districts in
easy reach by rapid transit lines (there's a Subway I
station, express and local, in the building).
Perhaps you know that the special facilities I
of the Pennsylvania include two complete Turkish
Bath establishments (one for men, one for
women) each having its own swimming pool.
The beautiful "Butterfly Room," glass-enclosed
(a sun-room on the roof), is both novel and
delightful.
Every bedroom has private bath, circulating
ice-water, "Servidor" (an ingenious device which
eliminates contact with servants at your bedroom
door), full-length mirror, reading-lamp on head
of bed, and many other unusual conveniences.
A morning paper is delivered free to every
guest-room.
Hotel Pennsylvania is Sutler-Operated
in connection with HOTELS STATLER,
Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis.

reach one of the boats and to this tire
four men clung until further assist

company on the shore. By the time
this reached them, they had been car
