I'. M.t yesterday, clad In tlio conven
tional striped, roll collared sweaters and
poked caps of tho higher realms ot
lUtmmanshlp. They were escorted to
the Presidential suite on tho sixth floor,
where they tipped a pair of bellboys
itventy-flve centa and wished them
well. From that safo baso the pilgrims
proceeded out Into tho city by limousine
to lilt many high spots as might be
encountered In tho space of twenty-four
hours, beginning with dinner at Del
tronlcoV, They are State Senator Maurice Boik
on, who is seventeen years old, and
Prosecuting Attorney Max Swlren, 15.
Their titles are duly derived from a
plebiscite of the Uoys Brotherhood lie
public of Chicago, which also has a
Governor and flvb Mayors, with no
Reds and no scandals and nobody to get
lore If bonuses are not voted.
In Chlcaso Berkson nnd Swlren are
newsboys. Since April 11 they havo been
scouting through the East for their Re
public, telling the world it keeps boys
out of troublo and puts them In tho way
of success In life, nnd helping to or
ganic ncv branches, one of which New
York ifl soon to have.
Marshall Field, 3d. and other grown
up interested In tlu. Republic financed
the missionary trip of Berkson and
Swlren. I'hey got to Now York Satur
day and suit up In a Jl a week room In
Henry stree'.
Yesterdiv arrived the moment for the
hip sphir,v. which, unknown to their
adult advisers, tlwv had .planned long
before thy left Chicago. Their sup
posed Intention was to break the tour
with a vacation of three days at Sara
toga. Eniulmlnc "Butch" McDevltt.
Their real intention was to emulate
"Butch" McDevltt of Wilkesbarre, the
"millionaire for a day" who burned up
$2,500 In an assault upon New York
eight years ago. Against this ambition
each of the newsboys brought along
1110 of his savings, the fact that he had
this much for Idle dispensation proving
where the money goes In the newspaper
orofesslon.
From Henry street State Senator
Berkson telephoned tho Wajdorf at 3
P. M., engaging a room with two beds
and bath for two gentlemen temporarily.
unaccompanied by servants. At i :30
P. M.. the exact moment when, accord
ing to schedule, their twentji-four hours
of creamy madness was lo siari, w;y
alighted from a taxlcab In Thlrty-fouri:i
street. The Senator handed two small
handbags to a portar, while the Prose
cuting Attorney paid off the driver.
One regrets to report that further
tvldence as to how many minutes two
strangers can exist In New York on
r In the stylo to which they have been
unaccustomed Is -worthless, for this rea
son: No sooner were they Inside the
Waldorf than the hotel's mlnls'ter of
publicity heard .of their presence, and
from that Instant theirs was the free
dom of the city.
They did succeed In forcing tl upon the
taxlcab man and six bits Into the ever
io reluctant palms of the bellboy usher
tag them to the Presidential suite. But
the next they heard their programme
for the full twenty-four hours had been
mapped so nearly completely by the
minister of publicity, with tho help of
confederates up the line, that It looked
is If tl ey could hardly' ge trld of their
t-'JO cx.'ept by remorseless riding In au
tomobiles and by tipping. Kor the even
ing It was dinner at Delmonlco's, with
limousine approach, followed by "Clar
ence" at the Hudson Theatre, supper
wherever they pleased and "Tho Mid-
night Frolic,"
Decide on Breakfast in Bed,
"Now for breakfast to-morrow morn
tar." their benevolent friend began to
venture.
'TVe'll breakfast In bed," said the
prosecuting attorney. Accepting the Im
plied reproof, the good man so arranged
it. At a fashionable hour In the fore
noon the pilgrims will bathe, reassume
their purple and white sweaters and re
sort again to the limousine.
They will have luncheon at the Cla
ridge and Immediately thereafter will
refresh themselves at the Russian tea
room, which Is rushing them some, but
their day is up at 4 :30 F. M. nnd there
Is much to be done before that hour
finds them Just newsboys from Chicago
on the.r way to Plalnfleid, N. J., with
good tidings of the Boys' Brotherhood
Republic.
