 FRANK P. O'BRIEN. The late Captain oBrien had a very wide acquaintance and he numbered among his warmest friends a great many theatrical people. Drifting about the world, as players do, all of his theatrical friends have not yet heard of his death and sometimes when they come to Bir- mingham, expecting to see him, their dis appointment is keen. A pathetic illustra- tion of this fact is given in a letter re- gently received from Fred Lennox, who played here not long ago as the comedian of "The Dollar Princess company. MT. Lennox writes: Many years back Frank O'Brien and I met. We were the pioneers of Asbury Park, N. J. His family and my family were close friends-friends in every sense of the word. One by one, we have gone, so when I arrived in Birmingham I won- dered why MT. O'Brien had not looked me up. was very tired, so did not visit the theatre until evening. I asked for Mr. O'Brien-gone with the others I cannot tell you how I felt; how I must have looked I stood at the box-office window and pictured the old days on the stage I pictured Frank being there. I could not believe him gone. God never made more manly man than Frank O'Brien. Your city he loved-loved as one would an offspring; ever recalling inci- dents, ever picturing it's great future"

LABORERS
FAIL TO SHOW UP
And Convention Of Hoboes
Called by j. Eads How
Was a Failure.
lAmerican News servicel

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 3.-Though
this was the date fixed fOs the meet
ing in this city of the Rational con-
vention of "hoboes." there Was no
outward evidence to show that any
considerable number Of delegates had
arrived to attend the gathering. The
convention was called by J. Eads
How, the so-called millionaire tramp.
who is president Of the Brotherhood
Welfare association. The announced
purpose of the convention was to dis
cuss the momentous problem Does It
Pay to Work?"
Plans for the convention have been
going forward for some time and con-
siderable disappointment was express
ed over the failure of the delegates to
show up. Various reasons for the
lack of attendance were advanced. 1t
was generally agreed that President
How had made a mistake in calling
the convention for this time of year.
1t is a well known fact that the "cas-
ual laborers." with which official ap.
pellation they have been dignified by
the American Federation of Labor.
stick fast to the large cities during
the winter months. Then, again the
call for the gathering was not issued
far enough ahead of time. With walk.
ing practically impossible and freight
trains stalled In the snow 1t is hardly
to. be expected that the delegates from
distant parts of the country could ar.
rive in the convention city on time.
The reason Milwaukee was chosen
for the convention city was because
.hoboes" believed socialist Mayor Sci.
del would prove more sympathetic
than the mayor of Kansas City, where
the last convention was held. He
placed the delegates in the "undesir
able citizen" class and opened the
police stations for the reception in
stead of the hotels

their colleague. who is conservativeiy

without warning.

The consistent kicker against all
the specific limitations and regula-
tions proposed was Senator Royse.
He maintained the specifications of
the amendments are enough to dis

act Is to make 1t a valuable, safe and
well established business such as any

Manufacturers Say Il Would
Be Expensive to State
Denial by Barnard.

indianapolis. Feb. s.--Indiana paint
manufactufers were out In force ON
Thursday night to nght the pure paint
bill before the rights and privileges
committee OF the house. Joseph e.
Bell Of indianapolis. acting - attor-
ney for the paint men sought to dis
credit the bill by declaring It was I'M
spired by the painting contractors
and asserting that the enforcement Of
such. : law would cost the state $780,
do annually.
H. E. Barnard. state food and drug
commissioner. who would be charged
with the enforcement OF the law re-
piled that he held mo- brief for the
master painters. He offered to guar
antee that with this law on the stat
ute books his department could insure
consumers Of getting pure paints at q
cost to the, state Of not more than
500 year.
"A pure paint law is necessary for
the same reason that pure food legis-
lation was necessary" said Mr.. Bar
nard. "At present the consumer has
no way of knowing what he is get.
ting when he purchases mixed paints.
This bill would compel manufactur.
ers to print their formula plainly on
the cans or containers"
Farmers Want Law.
Az explained by, Mr.. Bell the mas.
ter painters are anxious for the pas
sage of such a law 30 as to restrict
the sale of ready mixed paints. Its
requirements would compel the man.
ufacturers to increase prices to such
an extent that more people would EN-
ploy contractors who mix their own
paints. Mr.. Barnard answered the in
creased cost argument by saying that
every paint manufacturer already en-
pIoyes a chemist and that the only
additional expense would be for print
ing a few extra words on the labels
He failed to understand why any hon
est manufacturer should hesitate to
do this.
Representative Rupel of Bryant
WuO lutEOUVCCU tue Uill S6lN tuC A6h Ia
ers want such law. AZ the law pro
vides that the amount of paint con
tanned in each can shall be plainly
printed on the label he declared II
will do away with the practice oi
selling gallon" cans which hold only
three and half quarts.
Use Political influence.
At the suggestion of the manufac
turers the bill will probably be st
amended as to apply to paint mixed
by contractors. The master painter.
will be given an opportunity to pre-
sent their side Of the case at latel
hearing.
Strong political influences are be
ing brought to bear by the paint mer
to defeat the bill. They have sue
ceeded in preventing similar legisla
ton in every state except North Da
kota, although pure paint bills have
been introduced in the legislatures o.
all the states. Mr. Barnard told the
committee that the arguments pre-
sented by the paint manufacturers ART
the same as those which served 81
long in the fight against pure food leg
| islation.
