Cheaper to Live Than

Industrial Comm ssion Of Wisconsin
Finds That Poor Widows
Pay Up to $500.

MADISON, WIS, Nov. 15.-If the bills

TRANPS COST

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. 10

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. b.
THE cost Of tramps of the country
is 100000 a day" said Professor VIII
liam Bailey, Of the chair Of econo-
niles at Yale University, in an address
on THE American Tramp" before
the Hope Church Brotherhood.
"Jails are of no value in solving
the problem. Tramps discuss the rel
alive merits Of lock- ups and jails in
the various towns much as the or
binary citizen discusses summer re-
sorts.
after pros and cons have been
carefully weighed, the tramp decides
in which place he will commit a mis-
demeanor which win establish him n
a comfortable Jail for the winter"
There are four grades of tramps,
ranging from the lowest, the tomato
can" variety, to gypsies, Profess n
Bailey says. The former with the
proverbial can strung over his Shout
der is not exaggerated in the least
in comic magazine caricatures
The tomato can tramp is old in ex-
perience If not in years He knows
that he has not long to live, but seems
not to mind this phase of existence.
His outlandish attire often includes
two or three suits, one worn over the
other. He spends his days in begging
and sleeps in crates, on lawns or in
Railways.
Next above the Knights of the To-
mato Can are the "dossers." so-called
because they have the price Of a bed
in a doss house in which lodgings
may be had at from 5 to Is cents a
night. The "dosser' is vain aAd Goa
siders himself a respectable citizen.
The everyday hobo" who comes
next in the scale, is more dignifiad
and Of higher grade Of intelligence
than the "dosser"
The gypsy is the highest type Of
tramp, though the American gypsy is
not really a gypsy at all. The gypsy
has two or three wagons. several
horses, more dogs and often numar-
Gus children, His principal occupa
tion is swapping horses. The women
tell fortunes and the bows earn odd
nickels doing gymnastic stunts.
The common occupation Of gypsies
is picking pockets. County fairs are
veritable gold mines for them, and
the average gypsy has a flourishing
bank account. The gypsy is the only
kind of tramp the authorities toler-
ate. The gypsy Is merely ordered to
move on, and as a result towns mere
ly swap undesirable chara Cters, and
the gypsy, with his petty exasperat-
ing depredations. is in a fair way 10
flourish indefinitely.
