Jeff DAVIS TALKSOF
HOBO, TRAMP AND BUM

With Assistant Secretary Of

That there is wide difference between
"a tramp. a hobo and bum" was the
declaration of JEFF Davis, known as
the King of the Hoboes." and pro-
prietor Of the Hotel De Gink" Of New
York. who held a conference yester-
day with Assistant Secretary Post of
the Department Of Labor as to how
men could be secured to take up GER
tain irrigation projects in the far west
in which the government is Interested.
"A tramp is one who can work. but
won't" said Davis, while q hobo is
one who can and will work. A bum
Is SO filled generally with strong drink

be given treatment to get him in con-
dition to labor"
Interests the President.
Some months ago Davis had a con-
ference with President Wilson, and the
chief executive. 1t is stated. was much
interested in his establishment of the
Hotel De Gink" in New York, where
he endeavors to entertain unemployed
men and separate those who will work
from those who will not and cannot.
His suggestion today to the assistant
secretary of labor, he said. was that on
the irrigation projects in question the
government should give piping for wa
ter to be carried from the large bitches
and that it should help the work OF
colonization by also furnishing at the
start army cots and tents for the men
who go into the section to take up the
work OF laying the pipes. The forts In

out, should be authorized to take care

Captured Confederate Officer Finds
Good Meal Awaiting Him on

Discussing the recent G. A. r. parade,
Secretary Daniels related an interest

his friend, Peter Umstead Murphy of

battle of Mobile bay, and Murphy COM
manded the Confederate gunboat
Selma, which was captured after a
hard fight by the Metacomet.
Friends Before the War.
Murphy had been a lieutenant in the
United States Navy, and had resigned
to hsht on the Confederate side. In
the old days, before the war, Murphy,
then a lieutenant. had been very kind
to Jouett, then a midshipman. Two days
before the battle of Mobile bay, SO the
story runs. Jouett, while at Pensacola.
remembering that Murphy was fond
of good eating. bought a quantity of
crabs and oysters and other delicacies
and placed them on Ice. Three Con-
federate gunboats, including the Selma,
Murphy's ship, were then lying under
Fort Morgan. and Jouett. knowing that
Murphy commanded them, told the Of
phy," as he was called, and hoped to
catch him, and he always kept on hand
some good wines and cigars for him.
1t happened as Jouett had hoped. The
Metacomet was ordered by Farragut to
pursue the Selma, and Jouett did catch
Murphy. When the fight was over.
Jouett ordered his steward to prepare
breakfast. When the Selma had
struck her colors, Murphy, his right
arm in a sling from wound received

Comet to surrender his sword.
"Glad to See You, Murphy"
Jouett had sent the crew forward, in
order that Murphy might be spared
any unnecessary modification, and only
two officers were at the gangway with
Jouett to receive Murphy. Murphy
came up the gangway, drew himself to
his full height. held out his sword and
began speech, but Jouett took his
hand. put his arm around his shoulder
and said: L am glad to see you. MUIR
ply. Come below; your breakfast has
been waiting some time"
When they reached the cabin, MUIR
ply saw a beautiful table laden with
oysters. crabs. beefsteaks. wines. etc.
Turning to Jouett in establishment, he
said why didn't you let me know you
nad all this? I would have surrender

And the officers sat down at the table
as though they had never drawn
swords against each other.
