ALAMEDA, CAL, July 22.-Thomas
Slater and Aubrey M. Yates, two young
Alamedans, started out last Thursday
afternoon with community funds of 81 30
and three toothbrushes TO tramp to San
Jose. They reached San Jose on Friday
night hungry and footsore and begged
supper from friendly-loolxing young
woman. Her father, Sheriff Lyndon OF
Santa Clara County. looked in upon them
while they were enjoying their meal, and
then marched them to the County Jail
Slater exhibited their money left and ex-
planned that they were in search of work
as fruit-picKers, and the Sheriff let them
go. They were unable to get employment
at San Jose or Los Gatos in the orchards.
Yates says that all the girls in the country
are getting boys jobs now since the
woman suffrage question started, and he
feels hurt.
Yates boots also hurt him and he took
advantage, so he says, OF the meeting with
another tramp to buy new pair of shoes
from him for 10 cents, selling his old razor
pointed toes to some one else for 80 cents
The owner of the new shoes recognized
them later on and Aubrey NJ. was marched
to the Jail second time. His mate put
up the silver dollar left in the treasury
and Yates was allowed to go on his promise
that he would remit another so cents to
the bootmaker when he returned to
Alameda.
After these experiences the boys decided
to leave San Jose and get back home,
which they reached last night on foot,
with sundry lifts from passing wagons on
the road. Both boys are under IA years
of age.
