HOBO SOCIETY DROPS
IT'S WEALTHY FOUNDER

st. Louis, May flames Eads How,
member Of one of the oldest and
wealthiest families in st. Louis. whose
philanthropy has led him to live for the
last six years in the slums with those
he called mine own people" has been
welcomed back by the hobo society
which he founded and financed and
which attempted to GUST him from its
treasurership a week ago.
When How appeared at the headA
quarters of the association he found
the dingy little room crowded with
some of his staunchest admirers. At
the meeting last week they voted away
several hundred dollars of the philan-
thropist's money to issue pamphlets
urging the laboring classes to lay aside
their work and to take Meyer, Petit
bone and Haywood forcibly out of GUS
tody. When How suggested that this
might start reign of terror they told
him he was a hindrance to the assoc
citation and would oust him.
Since then the radical members Of
the association have found 1t hard to,
get along without How. When he app
peared at the headquarters men and
women surrounded How and told him
they had always been with him and
always would be. The movement to
oust him was dropped.
