BEAT HIM TO BREAKFAST

Agent James Newton of the South
western has armed himself with a
stuffed club and the next hobo that
enters the station and asks him for
match, "the makin's" or any other
old thing will be delivered a telling
blow in spot where it will count for
the most. One morning this week,
upon entering the station, Agent New
ton observed two frst-rate specimens
of knights of the road. They faunt-
ed two freshly rolled cigarettes with
request for a match. Taking to
account the immense layers of filth
with which the travellers were en-
wrapped and withal their general ap-
pearance of dissipation, Newton with
held the match, at the same time ad-
ministering a lecture. Shortly, New
ton went home to breakfast. AS he
entered he observed his previous visi-
tors emerging with their appetites
satisfied. But this is not the worst
of it. When he got back to his office
he found the two hobos putting up
good old money with Daddy" West
for tobacco and magazines.

Starting with seven midshipmen as
defendants last Tuesday, the list mas
been added to until eight midshipmen
and six ensigns now are on trial. Inc
original seven midshipmen were con-
vicfed and recommended for dismissa!
by a board Of officers on the ground
that they had guilty knowledge con-
corning papers, claimed to have been
received through an anonymous source
by Midshipman J. E. Moss, as legitl-
mate dope" but which the board be-
lieved were papers prepared for the
ast examination in modern languages
and stolen from the Office OF that de-
partment.
II has been brought out in the tes-
timony at the present inquiry that the
so-calied dope" was widely dis
tributed among the midshipmen. Coun-
sci for the original seven are trying 70
prove that those who saw copies OF the
papers that Moss had should have been
equally suspicious Of the source Of in
formation as those who saw the origi-
nal papers.

Threatened with the loss Of his sight
unless he spends at least a year IN the
open, James G.. Hurry, for years secre-
tary-treasurer of the defunct Cordage
Trust, and, since the winding up OF
that concern, stock broker, starts
next week on a 10,000-mile trip in a
20-foot Kennebec canoe. He will cir
cumnavigate the eastern half OF the
United States, and take perhaps NJ
teen months for the task.
The route followed will be from the
Battery up the Hudson to the Barge
Canal, TO the Great Lakes, through the
Chicago Drainage Canal and the Illinois
River TO the Mississippi, down that
river to the Gulf of Mexico, across the
gulf to Florida, TO the Atlantic and
back TO New York by the inside route.
1t will be the longest trip ever under
taken by canoe.

Mr. Hurry yesterday, "but the best
people say it can be done, and we are
going TO put 1t through"
With Mr.. Hurry on his trip goes
Charles Marcelle, associated with him
in the banking house of Henry Clews
& Co., and Hurty's Irish terrier Patsey.
They will live outdoors from the time
they leave New York until they return,
and have so arranged their schedr e as
to follow good weather south and back
north again.
Yesterday Hurry and Marcelle were
the chief guests at a grill at George
A. Hurty's summer place at Sound
Beach, where their gear was set up
for the inspection Of a few friends.

no hurry. In our travels on the lakes
We will of course have to hug fairly
close to the shore. That will make our
route longer than the steamship routes,
but we cannot take the chance OF beng
caught in a lake storm. g.
From the mouth of the Mississippi
we will proceed across the Gulf to the
toe of Florida. That is the one point
VIC are not absolutely clear on, but we
understand we can make short cut
there by a river and canal. That is one
of the things we have 10 look up yet.
Then it will be easy TO come up the
Atlantic by the inside route. Yachts do
that every month in the year, so there
is no particular danger there.
at is probable that we will have TO
stay several days in places on account
Of bad weather, and then again If the
fishing or hunting is good at any one
spot we won't be mean enough to leave
hungry fish behind US or allow game
to chase US away The hardest work
we will have TO do will be make camp
each night, and we will be as comfort
able then as we would be on the lawn
here.
THAT will beat being locked up on a
farm, and when we get back we Will
have proven that the eastern half OF
the United States is an island.
Danger? Lord, no, there is not any.
Why. that canoe is uncapslZable and
if it were possible to stow enough gaso-
lene and food in her | would not be
afraid 10 try 10 cross the Atlantic"

I full-sized cots, not to mention cooking

when my eyes began to get real
bad" said Mr.. Hurry yesterday, ex-
planning the trip, "the doctors told me
to quit the city and get back to the
farm for a year. Outdoors, sunlight
and green things were all that would
help me, they said I couldn't see tht
farm. A Wall Street education is not
worth much there. A year Ioa1ng IN
the country would kill me. So | hit
upon the idea Of spending II In canoe.
THE possibility of fitting a motor
TO a canoe made the idea of year on
the water practicable. Marcelle de-
cided to come with me, and when we
got our gear together and outlined our
trip down to the last detail, we quit
our desks and are fastening up loose
ends here and there before starting.
when we leave for New York we
will camp the first night somewhere
thirty or 80 miles up the river.
The next day we win make Albany,
weather permitting, and then proceed
by way of the canal TO Buffalo and
Lake Erie. We will stop at several
cities where we have friends and then
proceed via the lake to the Detroit
River, Lake st. Claire, St. Claire River
TO Lake Huron, to Lake Michigan and
Chicago. From Chicago we go via the
Drainage Canal to the Illinois River to
the Mississippi and the Gulf.
with the kicker the canoe can easily
make fifty or sixty miles a day. II

speed record, the trip would probably
BE- done in $50 days. But we are in

Assistant Secretary RoOse-

The findings Of board Of naval Of
ficers who investigated baseball pool
at the navy yard failed to please
Franklin y. Roosevelt, Assistant Sec
retarv Of the Navy Department, and ne

learned yesterday after it was believed
that the matter. which has been com

hushed up and the men who conducted
the pool whitewashed. One of them y

eminent, though the other is now earn
ing his living by private employment
For some time the pool has been go
ing on at the yard and has reaped a
harvest for one of the bosses, who is
EMPLOYED in the hull division. The in
yestigation was begun by the Navy De-
partment after Representative Daniel
J. Griffin made a report on the gam
bling. One of the men, known q:
"Benrie" by those he formerly worked
with at the yard, made an affidavit re-

For some months the pool had beer
conducted openly by the two men, anC
word Of it came TO the ears OF one Of
the officers in the hull division, Of
which Naval Constructor Rober
/ Stocker is the head. The men were
suspended and brought before a tria
board. The officers who composed thu
board could not get enough evidence
it was said, and they dismissed the
charges. Benny" and the boss were
continued on the government payroll.
After the trial Benny" got int
some kind of scrape and went bach
on his boss. He swore to an affidavit

Officers of the navy yard admitted

twice been investigated, but that M
satisfactory evidence could be secured
Each of the workers, so the story goes

tribute, it was understood, or when
slack period came they would mt

this phase of the case, they said that
complaint by any workman would D.

most instances the men least com

and. of course. this recommendation
was made by the men directly il
