HOBOES CHARGE RAILROADS FORCED
EMBARGO TO SMASH THEIR UNION
Manipulation of Freight Cars Galled Deliberate At
tempt to Keep "Delegates" From Attending Con
vention in This City Plan College to Study
Scientific Vagrancy
A plot to smash tho International
Hoboes' Union has been brought to light.
It is charged that the lending railroads
of tho' country connived and declnred nn
embargo on freight cars recently to pre
vent; the hoboes from attending last night's
convention, which was held at tho head
quarters, 18C North 5th street.
Tho conspiracy of the railroads was bit
terly denounced by thoho present and
i,ome of tho hoboes declared that they
will direct all their patronage to tho roads
which took n leading part In the omb.ugo.
This means that theso railroad companies
will have to employ more brakeman to
keep off tho human freight or run the
chance of carrying extra heavy loads, thU3
theratcnlng tholr time schedules.
It was also decided to start a -Hoboes'
College at tho North 5th street address
if the hoboes can get the money.
Among other things will bo taught ele
mentary laws of hygiene, laws pertaining
to vngrnncy, ilrst-ald treatment for in
jured and economics.
The only progress mnde so far toward
the establishment of tho Institution Is
a resolution which wnu adopted at a
convention Inst night of tho International
Hoboes' Union. The measure advocated
the tilings named., J. Hads How. the mil
ltonnlro hobo, presided.
The college will bo presided over by an
efflciency expert. His chief object will be
to get the most out of little. Funds for
the proposed Institution will b raised. It
is said, by selling tho things which aio
wasted In the city. A committed will bel
nppolnted to gather up wasted resolutions,
for Instance, and sell tho paper. Tho
hoboes believe that the money from this
nlone will bo enough to furnish the college.
It appears that they read the newspapers.
The flrst-ald treatment course will be
another very beneficial branch. Fre
quently It happens that In leaving a fast
freight suddenly the hobo doesn't get
sufficient opportunity to land on a soft
spot of ground. The result of his collision
with the earth, therefore. Jars his anat
omy. The way to fix the damage is
essential.
Economics will also be a highly popular
course at the college. Many hoboes have
found that it takes considerable talent,
not to say diplomacy, to get a good meal
for S cents Incidentally It often requires
much scientific financial engineering to
get tho price, for in these days of pros
perity very few persons npproached for a
toUch believe the talo ot being out of
work. etc.
An attempt was made to include a mili
tary course In the collego curriculum, but
this was vigorously opposed and
squelched Some of the hoboes had visions
of digging trenches and pushing guns In
tho sweltering heat. They Contrasted this
with a nap by a babbling brook and a
lunch nestling in tho grass. And didn't the
countiy owo them a living, they con
tended, so why should they try to develop
themselves Into human targets In order to
help the ammunition Industry?
The cost of the proposed college has not
been decided upon. Some nf tho powers
tlmt.be In the Union -vylll Investigate
financial conditions In Philadelphia this
week and then perhaps bids will be in
lted' James Scott acted as secretary of the
convention

CHnvr CHASI-, Md.. May 8. Tho tri
umph of the chief cook nt tho Chevy Chase
Military Camp for Women was shown
Sunday hoon, when the mess tent was
transformed Into a bower of spring blos
soms brought there from the forests ad
joining the camp.
The cook, Joseph Pokorny, of tho marine
barracks, said he felt there should be
flowers In tho dining room for the dainty
young soldier lassies for their Sunday
dinner decorations. Ho said so forcibly,
most forcibly Snturday for there were
those who thought otherwise.
-Jhe cook triumphed.
But he had to threaten to "quit" be
fore he was able to get tho right lo have
the flowers In the mesa tent for the girls.
And here Is tho tale. Chief Cook Po
korny, a brawny man with n big heart,
had made arrangemnts for the Sunday
floral decorations. Ho had sent a half
dozen trusty colored assistants to tho
woods to bring home tho llowcrs. On Sat
urday ho was ready to put up the flowers
when tho camp surgeon hove Into sight.
The surgeon said things about tho health
iness of flowers in a dining room.
He declared It was Insanitary to have
flowers In the moss tent He said It drew
bugs at least, that Is what Cook Joseph
said In talking of the "frny" with the
camp surgeon.
CllY OF "INSANtTAIUV
"I tell you, when he said it was Insan
itary and that anything I suggested In
the mess tent was insanitary," said Cook
Joseph, with Ire In his fiery eye, "well,
then I was sore. I guess I know when a
cninp mess tent Is sanitary. 1 guess I
know, too, that girls like flowers. So, lot
mo tell you, I Just went to tho authorities
nnd I told them that If they thought what
I wanted to do was 'Insanitary' they had
better get a chief cook who was sani
tary. So now It Is nil right. Thoy gave
mo to underFtand that they trusted me
nnd they told mo to go abend."
And ho did, much to tho delight of tho
girls.
Tho decorations wero not the only
attractive thing nbout tho mess tent on
Sunday, however. There were "cats"
which wero a marvel cats which made,
the girls wonder how any one could pos
sibly accomplish such "dreams" on ."2 6
cents a day for three meals for each
girl.
SOME SUNDAY DINNER..
For Sunday dinner the young feminine
"rookies" had chicken fricassee, mashed
potatoes and gravy, asparagus and cream
sauce, canuieu sweet potatoes, June peas
stuffed olives, pickles, radishes, bread and
butter, Ico cream and spongo cake. Last
night they hnd shrimp salad, rll vj 'i-esh
tomatoes, sliced boiled ham, potato salad,
bread and butter, lemon Iced tea and
stewed peaches,
And these girls, who all their young
lives have been pampered and have dab
bled and played with their food, eat 'Ike
"day laborers" when If comes to quantity
Glancing through tho following list
J which tho girls consumed In 24 hours will
prove iney are no. eating ciamtny: 32
shad, 10 cans of tomatoes, 175 pounds of
t.olatoe, 24 an of June pens, 44 cans of
lima beans, .4 crate of lettuce, 1 crate of
strawberries, lo pounds of sugar, 28
pounds of butter, 69 loaves of bread, not
to mention quarts and quarts of milk, 1
barrel of cabbage, 36 pounds ot pancake
flour, 6 gallons of maple sirup, 60 pounds
of country sausage, J crate of oranges,
gallons and gallons of pickles, much cel
ery, parsley, cornstarch, rice, raisins nnd
1200 clams and lots of other things.
SI-fcOND WEEK BEQINS.
But tho "cats" side of the camp Is not
the only attractive ono this morning
the beginning of Ihe second week of the
first women's military camp in the world's
history.
The telegraph department has caused so
much Interest that two tents and the 12
tables put p for It have been outgrown.
A miniature telegraph system, with poles
and two stations, was erected Saturday
afternoon nnd was Used today for the
first time. Tho girls are doing exceptional
work In this department, according to their
Instructor, B. It. Deal, who has had 30
years' expcrlenco in the telegraphic world.
"It Is absolutely startling to me," he
said of his pupils, usually n bevy of eo
elety beauties from the social elite of 16
States. "The way these girls grasp teleg
raphy, I can truly say that I have never
seen any man grasp work as quickly as
theso young women have. They are won
derful. "I have had the bright-eyed, red
headed Irish lad to deal with I have
had tho black-eyed young Italian, who
are both considered especially bright, but
theso girls heat them all."
Miss Esther I. Stiles. Bryn Mawr, Is
one of tho members of tho telegraph
class. After today the classes will be
split Into two divisions nnd messages will
bo sent long dlbtanccs. Poles have been
put tip under tho direction of Sergeant
Major II. Lewis Hulburt. of tho United
States larlnc Corp3.
Trenches havo been built around each
Bleeping tent to carry oft the water If
there should bo moro rain. There was
one night storm last week which did Ut
tlo damage. Ono afternoon there was a
little rain, but otherwise tho weather has
been "tho Uln'd ono reads about."
A communication from tho General Nel
son A Mllen Camp of the United Spanish
War Veterans has been received by the
Chevy Chase Camp authorities commend
ing "the success ot tho Initial attempts to
Instruct young women of this country In
elements of Jlcd Cross work, which, should
occasion nrlse, would be voluntarily as
sumed by all patriotic American women
as their national defense In a war of tho
flrkt magnitude."
