The St. James hotel has openly refused
to entertain negro delegates and canceled

Several weeks ago the officers of the
Tlppccunooclub. under the direction of
M. A. Hanna. niode n centr t with
Thomas P. Miller. the pulprlcto of tin
St. James hotel, to take cure of a certain
number of delegates for five days during
the bonvcntlon. The club officers than
wrote to certain southern delegations that
rooms had been engaged for them at the
St. James. When Mr‘. Miller learned that
the club intended to fill the rooms with
neuron he objected. ‘
"if I pcrmitvou to bring negroes here,”
be said. "nil my help will leave. it will
put me in s most embarrassing prcdlco
moot." , .
Upon the arrival of Mr. Hanna from
Cleveland he was told of what had occur-
red. .
\' ”I am sorry for Mr. Milieu". said Mr.
Hanna to his agent. "but he signed a cen-
tract. and unless he lives up to it he will
find himself involved in a most unpleas-
ant legal complication."
When the h'otcl man was so notified of
this, he made the following written rnply:

ored delegates in our' main dining room

As all the leading hotels are crowded,
the Tippecnuoc club is in a quandary as it
what it will do with the colored delegatel
whom it promised to cure for.
“trainees Mcnls League Not to Blame.
Mr. Hanna saidi be felt very sorry for
the Business Men’s league, which prom-
Iscd the national committee there would
be no color‘lino drown. '
“Thu league has done everything in in
power to prevent this trouhlu."he added.
“and 1 db not consider it in any way to
blame." . ‘ "
Mr. Hanna's emissnrlos also rented the
big exposition building for use during the
convention. lt‘wus suggested that cuts
he placed in it for the use of the colored
men. but when the management of the
bulldingloarnod of this it told the clot
that the nogroes could not be quartered
there. it was finally cg d, however.
that the colored delegates might be fed
there. Tony Faust. who holds the least
of the kitchen at the exposition, said he
could not furnish cithor food or marks to
do the Work. An ofllcer of the club said
that cooks would be imported from Cleve-
land.
Many of the colored incl have. of their
own accord. gone to the homes of colored
people living here and obtained board and
lodging. Some of them, however, refuse
to do this.
