Has the Credentials.

That this title of A-No. has not been in vain is atteSted by the cards and letters he has with him, from men in many stations of life and from fuence have returned to their homes to settle down in their native com- munities. In his memorandum book are cards and autographs of Pres1- dent Wilson, ex-Presidcnts Taft and Roosevelt, Thomas A. Edison, Luth- CT Brubank, Admiral George Dewey and many others prominent in Amer ican life. He has also letters from high railroad officials, thanking him for his actions while jumping freightS. The noted tramp has been in nearly every railroad in the United States, and besides this has toured the world several times. He says that at times he feels very much alone in the world but that he is still held to the road by that same feeling of wanderlust that draws so many boys from com fortabls homes the world over and that now he cannot betake himself from the life.
 His Two Notices.
 G-No. 1 has two notices, and these two notices he tries to impress upon every boy he meets on the road. The first is, Never associate with anyone in whose company you would be ashamed to pass your parents home in broad daylight" The second motto is Whoever you are, wherever you may be, whatever you do--be A-No 1.'' He feels, he says, ,,that if these notices strike home together with a little talk that will make the wandering lads think of their fathers and mothers, the latter particularly, their life in the ranks of hobodom will be short, for he believes that in nearly every case it is easy to make a boy homesick and eNsy to draw him from the false. glamor of the life of the tramp.
 Why Boys Leave Home.
 Boys leave home for three main reasons,'' said this well known hobo. ITO escape punishment; to see the world; to hunt for work. As long as their money lasts all is well, but without cash the bangs of hunger soon turn the victim of wanderlust to beg for food. Then it Is that mothers of other boys have a chance to start that boy back again on his homeward journey. As a rule, when a youth appears at a back door, asking for food, the woman, pitying him, lays be- fore him the best the house provides, exclaiming many times that she has a son about the young tramps own age If more of these mothers, in stead of letting the boy go with a good meal, should talk to him and endeayor to persuade him to give up the tramp's life. remembering their own boys, there would be fewer lads on the road from year to year. That is the root of the tramp problem to- day.
 RunaWays Become Tramps.
 Out of the approximately $50, 900 hoboes roaming the land today, over 95 per cent. were young boys who ran away from home for one or an- other of the three reasons I have named Boys who learn to beg never learn to work. Less than per cent. had trades before they ran away. For this small percentage, however, there is hope. When in need of food or

wearing apparel they work for a few days in towns and cities. Many times they find a place to their liking, a boss that treats them right, or they find Q sweetheart. Then they settle down to become good citizens and forget the life of the road forever.

N MANUFACTURERS
WANTED TARIFF
COMMISSION
Mulhau Says They Planned TO
Control Body 10 Be Named
by President Taft.
Associated Press.

Washington, July l6.-Betore the
lobby investigating committee today
Martin Mulhall told of the efforts OF
the National Manufacturers Associa-
tion to control the tariff commission.
This followed the statement made
yesterday, that the commission was
created by the manufacturers. The
association wanted Miles and
Schwedtman on the commission, and
wanted TO control ii themselves" said
Mulhall. Schwedtman was secretary
to President Van Cleve OF the asso-
citation; but IL was not explained who
Miles was.
A letter from James A. Emery,
counsel for the manufacturers, to
Mulhail, January l6, 1908, said:
Doubtless you know we had tussle
oil the floor of the house last Satur-
day. where an attempt was made by
the democrats, under cover OF an

ion of the revised statutes, TO enact

labor legislation now before the ju-
dietary committee Our friends stood
firm and the attempt to make cam
paign plunder was squelched in a
most admirable way"
A letter from Mulhall at Indian
apolis, Ind, June II, 1908, to
hwedtman, said: "A convention OF
miners will be held here on the 2lst.

manufacturers did not favor it. He
testified that he had no personal
knowledge of the existence OF fund

zation recently gave figures to the

Mulhall testified that in January
1908, he received a letter from for
mer Senator Foraker suggesting that
he visit Cincinnati for a short inter
view. He testified that he presented
a written report to Foraker showing
how the senator stood among the
business men of Cincinnati. Foraker

Plans for the national convention
of the Midland Trail Associations
are now being considered by the sec
retary and the local advisory board.
This meeting was to have been held
here this spring. but because of the
unsettle,' condition of the organiza-
tlon at that time and the fact that
the energies Of he association were
centered on the preparation of the
roads for the reception of the Indiana
tourists. caused postponement.
The association has now received
the organizations OF the states Of
Utah, Colorado, Nevada and Califor-
mia. The state of Kansas, represent
ed by the Golden Belt route, is now
anxious to come in, and Its applica-
tion will probably be acted upon In
the next month.
II is planned to hold the conven-
tion late in August or possibly IN
September or October. II Is not un-
likely that an effort will be madf
by some of the larger cities to change
the present organization headquar-
ters TO another city. The success OF
this venture, however. is not looked
for.

ther, in n statement today, the SEN
ator declared that there is no reason

1t is the plan to continue the prop.
aganda of state and efdral aid to tht
extent that the money for the worl
can be made available within the

Commissioner Ehrhart are wholly il

believed that, if the association push
