New York, Sept. S-Dr. Newell Dwight
Hills. pastor of Plymouth Church. of
Brooklyn was served with a summons

b. c. The suit followed news of a meet
ing Friday of the board of trustees of
Plymouth Church, during which the noted
divine's affairs were discussed
DIR. Hills was served in person by his
nephew's lawyer. William y. Moore, who
gave the following explanation of the
action:
when the Rev. Dr.. Hills was lectur-
ing at Chautauqua. in the vicinity of
Portland, Greg. on July l3, a suit was
instituted against him on account of
notes amounting to a little more than
81. 900 by Brayton & Lawbaugh, of Chi
cago and Portland. who had examined
several years previously large timber
tracts in British Columbia owned by DR..
Hills. For this service he had given
them his notes.

go West. 'hoboes,' go West" advised
a volunteer speaker at a meeting of un-
employed at Socialist headquarters, sl1 E
street northwest, last night. "Washing-
ton amt no place for a hobo All you
git here is sixty days and an Occoquan
hair cut for being out of work.
1t was unanimously agreed that the
speaker was right.
James Eads How, the millionaire
hobo" who presided. was not so pessi-
mistic about Washington. He named a
committee of five to represent the
Brotherhood Welfare Association in this
city. and expressed the hope that the
committee would be able to better con-
ditions for the hobo here.
Mr.. How reported that he had been
unable to secures permission from the
Interstate Commerce Commission 10 have
''hoboes" en- route to prospective job
ride the cushioned seats instead of the
bumpers
II was informed such permission would
have to come from Congress- said Mr..
How. The railroad magnates seem to
favor the plan. but they could only
transport the hobo within one State
without violating the interstate COM
merce law. If there should be several
States between the hobo and the job
at the border of each State
The "mililonaire hobo" said an ef-
fort probably will be made at the COM
ing session of Congress to have the
hobo with a job i'll sight exempted
from the present interstate commerce
law.
Frequently during the meeting elo-
cutionary debates arose between dele
gates" as to the cause of unemploy-
ment and how it is to be remedied. But
a word from the millionaire hobo"
each time forestalled an open break.
A controversy arose as TO whether
a man who wanted a job should con-
sent to being termed a hobo. Mr..
How ended the controversy by stating
that the latest edition of Webster s
dictionary defines hobo as an unem-
ployed man. IF you're unemployed
you're a hobo whether you're willing
to work or not" said How.
