pays expenses going and coming. The
companies. thus make approximately 10
cents profit on short hauls, but. accord
ing to statistics assembled by the Ter
minal Taxicab Company, one of the
largest in this city, the average haul is
little over three miles. This reduces
the actual profits of the company to about
cents for each mile traversed by their
cabs, they explain.
In the analysis. however, the passenger
who travels one mile in a Washington
taxicab pays 123 1-3 per cent profit to the
company On the service rendered him.
A change in the District regulations es-
tablishing frequent stands for the ma
chimes and forbidding hotels to sell ex-
elusive right to streets in front of their
establishments to certain companies,
would remedy the situation, II is claimed.
In discussing the taxicab tariffs. John
]. Boobar, secretary of the Terminal
Taxicab Company, explained that the
costs to the company, expressed In the
unit "passenger-mile." were about %
cents
Mr. Boobar stated every effort was be-
ing made by officers of the company to
cut operating expenses as low as good
service would allow. He also stated that
the overhead charges of the company,
which maintains a service ready for any
emergency twenty-four hours of the day,
were a certain element which has 10 be
reckoned with in determining the tariffs.
The Washington herald., 1913-05-31

"Dodo." baked hen in clay. is another
dish which the king claims Is better than
anything yet discovered by the quick
lunches.
Citizens of Hoboland. on authority of
its king. are divided into three castles
There are the-plain hoboes, all such as
have the wanderlust; the buns, generally
victims of dope and drink, and the
tramps. mostly cases OF lost ambition.
The hobo and the bum beat their way
over the land on the freight trains while
tramps beat II oyer the stems" (thor-
oughiares). Tramps are not as classy
as buns and hoboes in Hoboland.
In lingo native to the sons of the road,
the king thus told of his experiences thus
far at the Capital:
'I battered the main drag CPepnsyi-
vania Avenue). A live wire came along
the stem. He had a nifty sky-piece, .
tailor-made suit Of rags, brown kicks,
yellow squash (watch), and a spark
That guy had rocks on all his mud
hooks. pringed him with my gag
tmeaning that he told his little story.
He was my meal ticket He yanked
out of his bank a big leather full of
jItnies, demons. sinkers, and bucks
Jnickels, dimes. halves, and ooIIarsy. we
beat IL into a beanery and had a regular
jungle feast. The hash singer threw US
meat with sand and gravel, Java, Ger
man fried spuds. and dummy dread
with real salve (butter)."
The king did not disclose his name. He
said that he would lecture before the
Boy Scouts today and probably will be
in the Capital for several days. He in
tends to visit the Corcoran Gallery of
Art and the Smithsonian Institution.
The Washington herald., 1913-05-31
Hobo King Reaches Capital on
The Pilot of,a Jack O'Brien
He Says He Keeps Himself Fit by Taking Turk
ish Baths and Having His Face Massaged.
He Writes Poetry, but Didn't Recite 1t.

The King OF the Hoboes blew into
town yesterday. Here's how he DESCRIBES
his arrival:
Il blew into this burg on a Jack
o'Brien, holding her down on a pilot.
The iron horse crawled. Tne snack
made me bite the grit A lightning -pug
put me hip to the buttons. A dicer
came along. and 1 boarded a sIue-door
Pullman. but a railway bull ditched me.
1 pipes a great big harness bull. He
dogs me and four-nushes with his smoke
wagon"
The Hobo King is stetson hobo.
which. by the way, is the Iasc word In
Hobodom. He has been a hobo. he ex-.
planned last night. for more than
twenty-six years, and IN that time mas
seen this country from end to end.
Il took to the road when 1 was a KID,
he said. When l began 1 was just a
poor beggar hobo. i learned to cook IN
hobo jungle Chobo camp) outside a
city. Then ! became a stage hobo
That's a guy that works at MS trade IN
city until he's got a stake before he
takes to the road. Now I'm a stetson
hobo. That is, 1 am seIf-supportIng.
The hobo king supports himself by ad-
dressing girls seminaTies, exclusive
clubs, university boys; by selling choice
recipes Ito hotels and lovers of good
viands: occasionally by putting on a
hobo specially at the theaters in towns
which he visits. and also by supplying
information to men who have tales TO
tell of hobo land.
Though he has spent his life on the
road. the hobo king has acquired many
of the parts Of good education. He
says that he attends the best plays.
the best concerts and lectures that are
running in towns where he sojourns.
He also claims to be a friend of many
of the country's leading educators.
The hobo king has shaken hands with
William Jennings Bryan and with Will
lam Howard Taft, he says He uses the
best of English. and. though he has
twenty-siX years of irregular road life
behind him, he looks ft and fresh for
twenty-six seasons more. He said that
he kept himself fresh by use OF turkish
baths and face messages.
The hobo king is a poet. He admitted
that his poetry was one Of his main
sources of revenue. One day in Augustus
he sold a recipe for making chile con-
carne in a new way TO the Dest motel IN
the city. 'Mulligan" is his favorite dish.
