HOBO billy
Who Met His Future Wife In
Parkersburg Five Years Ago
Attracts Attention.
tsrfsiAL 70 ms rELEanAn,

WASHINGTON, D. G., June N-
Heralded as the millionaire hobo"
James p. oBriant, better known as
Hobo Billy" arrived IN Alexandria
Thursday morning on a Southern
Railway freight train, armed with a
suit case containing his good clothes
and O bundle of newspaper clippings
that tell OF his wanderings. Later in
the evening he entertained a large
crowd on the streets, where he de-
liyered his lecture, Sixteen Different
Kinds OF Hoboes." Billy came on
over to Washington Friday morning
and spent part of the day here, leaving
some time Sunday morning ON fast
freight for New York-just which
freight he has not specified for fear of
interference with his schedule.
After twelve years Of hoboing,
Billy says he Is tired Of 1t, and Is on
his way now to ParkerAburg, w. Va.
where he Is to meet his prospective
wife and take her to Luray Cave, to
be married August 2. But before he
goes there, he says, he Is going to New
York to collect a $4,000 legacy which
was left him by his mother recently.

ued. II happened along near the
freight station there and saw her
leaning over a tub. l started to bum
some food. l told her that II she
would get some food for me, that
would finish the washing. 1t was go.
She got the food and l finished the
washing"
Billy is somewhat of philosopher,
after his fashion, and has very per-
suasive line of talk as to why one
should not hobo. His motto for sue
cess, which he handed out free of
charge, whosoever-will may-hear-
fashion, is that mo man gets SO far
down the hill that he can't climb it
again, and no man can get so high
that he cannot fall"-which after all
contains more truth than poetry.

DETECTION

ton Law is to Be Made by

duction at the machine factories cur
tailed by nearly fifty per cent there
was comparatively small amount Of
glass produced during the month Of
June. Present indications point to a
still further reduction in production
at the machine operated factories, and
1t Is likely that less glass will be made
this summer than has been the case
for several years.
No move has been made as yet by
either the manufacturers, or the
workmen toward a conference regard
ing wages for the coming FIRE, and the
opinion prevails quite generally that
operations at the factories will not be
resumed until late in the fall.
From reports which have been COM
piled it is known that stocks held by
the trade, both large and small, are
considerably below normal, and the
manufacturers report no excessive
stocks at their factories. They seem
confident that their glass will be to
a large extent disposed Of during the
summer and early fall months, and
have given evidence as to their faith
in the situation by guaranteeing
prices against their own decline to
August /.
Jobbers from several sections re-
port some improvement in demand
during the last few weeks, and they
are looking forward to a steady and
regular demand during the summer.
Many of the factory stocks are de-
cidedly short Of A quality and popular
sizes, and this will be felt by the job
bers and their trade before the sum
mer is over.
The Situation In Belgium.
The following excerpts from foreign
exchanges were translated by F. +.
Criner:
There is no sign or improvement in
business. However, there is no ques-
ton Of a doubt that there is an exist
ing need for glass, but buyers seem
toshesitate in view Of the uncertainty
Of the situation due to political causes.

Who are They.

The question was asked at a
meeting held the first Of thc
week "Who are the Civic
League?" and for the benefit OF
those who do not happen to know
anything about this organization
we gave the following informa-
ton.
The Civic League was organ
lied in the city nearly year ago
by body of men who have
the welfare of WASH burma at
heart. Since it's org IMITATION il
has had quite a rapid growth
until today it has a mem bershir
of nearly half hundred men
and it promises to grow until il
becomes one of The important
organizations of The City.
The civic league mem bers are
all residents of the city Of Wash.
b lrn, the greater part of whom
a"e also taxpayers. 1t is mol
strictly a political organization,
but expects to devote it's inten-
tions TO other lines as well, II
is not confined to any one de-
nomination, but includes men
| from every walk IN life and Of
every religion and creed. 1t is
not an organization that is or
ganized for any one campaign OF
| for series of cam paigns but
one that will stand for all time
to come.
Some of the people of this
city who did not seem TO be
aware of the eXlstance Of the
Civic League may learn that it is
of more Importance than they
give it credit for.
