"FOrty or More Pass Through
Every Day"-Gaines.

GVCIy my WoAMCSs
According to Union Pacific Special
Agent H. f. Gaines. there is an aver
age Of forty tramps pass through
North Topeka every day. The most
OF the tramps are foreigners who are
out of work and are trying to get 10
some place where they can obtain en-
ployment. Some of them are the
usual class Of hoboes who go SOU
during the winter and north In the
summer. Gaines says that he seldom
arrests the men but sees to it that
they get out of town as soon as pos
sible.
Gaines has a peculiar way OF nan
ding the tramps which is proving
highly successful. Instead OF taxing
them off the freight trains he makes
them ride on through the city. re
says that this saves the railroad 40
keeps them from loafing about the
yard until night and breaking INTO
cars of merchandise.
