These cold November nights the room
gives shelter to the most miserable lot
of outcasts that could be got together.
Every type OF the Bowery dereiict is rep
resented. from the gray-bearded wreck
OF years Of dissipation to the young fell
low who has settled down to spend his
life in the bread lines and cheap lodging
houses.
These down-and-outs meet in this dingy
room for a purpose-to receive aid and
advice from How The organizer OF
the Welfare Brotherhood" has just re-
turned from a long absence In Europe,
where, he says. he Investigated the con-
dftions of the unemployed on the Cont
nent and IN England. incidentally, ne
says he went there for the purpose Of IN
viting notable persons to come to Ameri-
ca and take part In an international con-
vention to discuss ways and means 70 aid
the unemployed.
This convention. Mr.. How has told the
brotherhood, will be held in New York
next January. As each brother enters
the room he receives a pamphlet con-
tanning songs that are 10 be sung al the

An UnseInsh Reformer.
How is now forty years OF age. He has
been engaged in his work OF lettering
the condition Of the tramp and his broth
er outcast Of the city slums for ten years.
He stands before the world as its most
unique and unselfish reformer and phllan-
thropist. He has divorced himself from
every pleasure and luxury OF wealth and
social position that his birth offered him.
and devotes sixteen hours day to advo-
eating the doctrine Of the brotherhood OF
man.
He lives in the underworld among
tho poorest and most unfortunate OF man
kind At night he sleeps In a cheap
lodging house. He earns every cent he
spends on himself by performing any
labor that his hands find TO Go. He is
ever ready to extend helping hand 10
;he downtrodden OF the race. and he
gives the straggler. regardless of creed
or color. an uplift and tries to set him
on a higher plane of life
Mr. How has made more sacrifices for
the sake Of an idea than perhaps any
other man of the present day. Those
who fail 70 comprehend his PURPOSE pro-
nounce him cratic: others, who cannot
understand why a man Of his social
rank and wealth does not enjoy the
privileges 10 which they entitle him. de-
clare ne is a crank: but those who know
him intimately and have witnessed his
acts Of seIf-abnegation, believe he is the

It is no mere whim that prompts How
to travel in this manner. and that has
earned for him his name Of million
aire hobo
he is a student Of sociology and a
preacher of his own deductions, and
loves TO do both at first hand. The
problem of the tramp the problem of
the slums, the problem of the unem-
ployed. and the problem of the unearned
wealth-these are the knots that James
Eads How has set himself TO unravei as
far as one main may do In his lifetime
He believes in the single tax, social
ism, vegetarianism. and the limiting OF
wealth. He spends q large part of his
time advocating these principles to audi
ences of outcasts and unfortunates, some
times gathered at the camp fires OF the
great fraternity of professional hoboes
into whose mysteries he has been thor
oughiy initiated, and sometimes on the
streets or docks or In the lodging houses
and lowest dens OF slums in great cities.
