LOST BELLBOY FOUND

Youngster Wind Gold Medal for Refusing to Sell Liquor

'NEW YORK. March 25 - Satisfaction of the existence of a non-bootlegging bellboy was the feature of a medal bestowing ceremony at the Hotel Prince George today.'

'The young dry hero was Russell Woods. He stood at attention while A. M. Gutterson, manager of the hotel, pinned a gold medal on his breast.'

'Documentary evidence that Woods earned his medal exists in the form of a letter from a thirsty guest who wrote that he admired the boy's principle, though angry with him because he would not get him a pint.'

NEW YORK, April 29 - A room with bath for a crate of eggs, a few jars of home-made pickles, or what have you. That is the policy of a 1,000 room hotel a half block from Fifth avenue.

Alburn M. Gutterson, managing director of the hotel, said last night he liked the barter system so well after a year's trial that he would continue it indefinitely.

'This plan helps the farmer get a holiday in New York. He needs the bright lights once in a while for a change,' Gutterson said. 'It helps my hotel because I get first-class fresh farm produce direct from the country.'
