Tonight.
Ttflth a parting shot at the Repre

'"Who are responsible for the thousands
,of Americans now wandering about
the country without Jobs," while for
eigners of all nationalities have regu
lar employment, James Eada How's
convention of unemployed, which has
teen in session In this city since last
Friday, will wind up its business late
this afternoon.
A long list of resolutions, which the
liobo delegates, represenUng every
cjacs of labor and every section of
the United States, have adopted. Is
being whipped Into shape by Miss Coia
D. Harvey, secretary of the Brother
hood Welfare As..ocIation, and will be
submitted to the labor committee in
Congress next winter.
The convention, according to a num
ber of the delegates, is not breaking
up any too soon. Many of the "boes
who came from .cross the continent;
from Oregon, Washington, California
and Texas; from Maine, Florida, and
the Canadtsn northwest, are openly
dissatisfied with the recepUon accord
ed them since thrlr arrival In Wash
ington. Poor "Punki."
The 'punks," as they call their meals,
have not been as frequent or as large
as they expected. The hoboes haven't
fared any better glnce coming to Wash
ington than they did while on the road,
they say, and It will be a difficult propo
sition to ever again get the delegates
in session again.
With an entertainment which promises
to be unique in Its class, the conven
tion will close tonight. Among the
delegates are several former actors,
both professional and amateur. These,
together with Miss Emma Carus, of
comic opera fame, and a dozen other
actors and actresses now appearfng at
local theaters, will give an entertain
ment for the benefit of the hoboes in
convention headquarters, 1314 G street,
at 7:45 o'clock tonight.
Miss Carus said this afternoon that
she would do everything possible to
help the unemployed. Some of the best
known amateur talent In the city will
help in the entertalsment. Hundreds
of the little red tickets for admission,
the sale price of wMch is 10 cents each
are being dlstrbuted this afternoon.
The " Insurgent" delegates to the con
vention have been held In check by Mr.
How thus far, although his task has
lieen a difficult one. A number of the
Socialist delegates, angered at what
they term suppressive methods used by
Mr. How. have left the city, saying
they will not again participate In tho
meetings of the association.
Too Conservative.
One Baltimore delegate left because
he said the convention was too conser
vative, while E. B. Story, who says he'a
the son of a wealthy Oregon hop grow
er, gave as his excuse for suddenly de
parting that the delegates were too radi
cal. It Is likely that the convention this
afternoon will indorse resolutions draw
ing the color line, making It Impossible
for even the brown-skinned Europeans
to gain membership in the association
For several months the question of
permitting the colored unemployed of
the country to make use of the em
ployment bureaus established by the
brothred has been considered. This
morning, at the nxecutlve committee
meeting, the tramps practically decided
to draw the color lino and keep all col
ored persons. Including Chinese and
Japanese, out of tho association.
Last night's open-air meeting at
Eighth street and Pennsylvania ave
nue came near ending In a riot. It
was the largest meeting of the conven
tion, and the Socialistic teachings of
some of the delegates who tried to get
possession of the floor, offended Mr.
How. . . ,
He declined to permit several of them
to speak, and to insure silence on their
part the "millionaire hobo" called upon
the detail of policemen to assist him.
No arrests were made.

HOBOES WAR
OVER
RESOLUTIONS TO BE
How's Forces Finally Win
Over Socialists and "Phil
osophical Anarchists."
Turbulency and excitement such as
never before seen at a similar meeting,
marked the morning and last session of
the executive committee of the hoboes'
convention, at the G street headquarttrs
this morning. For more than two hours,
the delegates from San Francisco, and
the representatives from Maine contend
ed that the Canadian Northwest "boes"
know nothing about conditions existing
in the United States, and consequently
are unable to discuss the questions
which have arisen during the conven
tion. "Frisco Ed" Andrews, the boy wan
derer, and "Happy" George Brown, the
stolen painting expert, threw their
lorces with James Eads How, the "mil
lionaire hobo," and Miss Harvtv, his
secretary, and the "regulars" llnally
won out.
The several resolutions which the con
t ention has passed tdnce It opened here
last Friday, came up for final consid
eiatlon. To present them to Congress.
Mr. How said they must be put into
readable shape. Miss Harvey, who has
been engaged In this Important piece
of work for two or three days, sr.ld she
would have no trouble carrying out the
wishes of the convention)
But Miss Harvey evidently was not
familiar with the various wishes of the
hundred or more delegates to tho con
vention. . .
It seemed that each delegate had a
different lew, and before the commit
tee had been In session five minute?,
the trouble which has been brewing
for the last twenty-four hours, broke
out. Fifteen minutes later there were
half a dozen erbal wars, with Mr.
How, Miss Harvey, and their follow
ing on one side, while on the firing
line of the other were the Socialists
and the "philosophical anarchists,"
who have tried to gain control of the
convention.
The "regulars" finally won out, and
the resolution will be framed as origi
nally Intended by Miss Harvey.

"LITTLE MOTHERS"
TO
Health Officer Praises Oys
ter's Plan to Reduce In
fant Mortality.
The first of the schools tor "Uttte
Mothers" to be opened in connection
with George M. Oyster, jr.'s milk sta
tions, will be Inaugurated next Mon
day at the Noel House, when a new
station will be thrown, open.
Mr. Oyster was In conference with
Dr. W. C. Woodward, the Health De
partment hoad, today to talk over the
plans. Before the end of the month
Mr. Oyster hopes to have instruction
arranged for the five stations already
open, in addition to a new one at
Georgetown University Hospital, for
which negotiations now are In prog
ress. In-structlon will bo given girls of
twelve years old and upward. Mr.
Oyster believes such a course will
lower the mortality rate among chil
dren, as the girls will be taught meth
ods of best caring for little tots.
New York Is provided with similar
schools according to a statement of
Dr. Woodward, who has offered his
hearty co-operation with Mr. Oyster
in working out ths plan.
"Too much pral'e can not be given
Mr. Oyster for this work," said Pr
Woodward. "In addition to furnish
ing pure milk through these stations,
which Is done In needy cases without
cost, he now Is Inaugurating a plan
which will be of far-reaching social
benefit."
The details of the general plan will
be worked ort at the Noel House sta
tion, and Instruction begun in the oth
er stations as soon ao possible.

clude an Item for the purchase "of the
property in their annual estimates.
Nothing In the way of park improve
ments in the District la more earnestly
desired by tho Commissioners than the
purchase of tho Klingle Ford Valley. la
view of rapidly Increasing land values,
and the Intention of owners to grade to
a. level the land adjoining4 tha Klingle

constitutes, the Commissioners say,

trees and will make a most picturesque
and beautiful addition to the park sys
tem. Its purchase Is in line with the
recommendation for the acquisition of
parks made by the McMillan Park
Commission. The land comprises 25.8
acres on Connecticut Avenue extended,
along the Klingle road from Woodley
road to Hock Creek Park. Its esti
mated value Is J1S8.600.
In connection with the purchase of
this property, the Commissioners are
considering the improvement of Lovers'
Lano between Massachusetts avenua
and R street by means of which a
beautiful connection will be obtained
between Georgetown and Intermediate
points and Rock Creek Park.
The Commissioners are considering
including also In their estimates an
Item for the purchase of -Mt Hamil
ton, situated opposite Mt. Olivet Ceme
tery, east of the Bladensburg road and
north of M street northeast This prop
erty Includes eight-one acres, and is
regarded bv the Commissioners as one
of the most desirable for park purposes
