Peripatetic Hoboes Find
Real Joy in Rail Strike
Ship as Strike Breakers and
Ride in Pullmans, Says Reit-
man: Roads DENY Tt

CHICAGO Aug. 9 (By the Associated
Press).-The rail strike may cause
sleepless nights and worry in Ameri-
can homes from the White House down
to the humblest cottage but according
to DR.. Ben L. Reitman, vice president
of the Hobo College for the Migratory
Workers-plain hoboes-it has proved
one long season of bliss. Railroad Of
ficials here, however, say that hobo
labor comprises only a comparatively
small portion of the new men.
The migratory workers, according to
DR.. Reitman, have evolved a system
for beating the railroads. They sign
up at Chicago to work in the shops
at some distant point. The railroads
ship them out in Pullman cars, while
their meals, the best of everything, are
furnished in dining cars. Arriving
at his destination, the, hobo works
day or two, or. jumps the job and soon
is signing up with another road to
work at some still more distant point
In this way they keep travelling with
only an occasional day or two of work
to interrupt an otherwise perfect "see

Chinatown to Give
Slain Tong Leader
Elaborate Funeral
Body, i'll $4,000 Coffin, to
Lie in State Tomorrow,
and Burial Will Be i'm
Cypress Hills ON Sunday

Chinatown is preparing for the most
elaborate funeral ever held within its
limits. 1t is for Ko Low, the national
head of the Hip Sing Tong, who was
shot down on Monday night in front
of Chinese Delmonico's in Pell Street
and died the next day. Tong officials
will spare no expense in paying tribute
to their late leader, for Ko Low was
great power among his race and was
as we'll known on the Pacific Coast as
in New York and Newark.
The body of the slain tong head will
be taken from Bacigalupo's undertak-
ing establishment at 26 Mulberry
Street tomorrow afternoon to the head
quarters of the Hip Sings, at Doyers
and Pell streets, where it will rest in
state until the funeral on Sunday at
o'clock. The coffin in which the body
will be buried has been completed at
a cost of $4,000. At least fifty auto
mobiles will be required for the
funeral procession. Burial will be in
Cypress Hills Cemetery.
An announcement from the head
quarters of the Hip Sings in Philadel-
phia was received last night, saying
CAdo CliCy Woulu nave Il QeleSaIlOn ut
the funeral and declaring that so far
there had been no disturbance in the
Chinese colony in Race Street as re-
suit of the shooting.
Ko Low had been in the United
States for about five years, coming
here from England, where he had lived
for some time previous. He had been
national president of the tong for two
years. He is survived by a wife and
two children, who are now in Canton.
Tom Yee, thirty-two years old, of
So South Oxford Street, Brooklyn, and
James Chuck, thirty-eight, of 1910
Broadway, Brooklyn, arrested Tuesday
in connection with the shooting of Ko
Low, were held without bail for forty
eight hours by Magistrate Mcclellan
in the Tomhs court on suspicion of nav
ing been implicated in the murder.
A third Chinese, Harry Wong, nine
teen years old, also of ITO Broad
way, Brooklyn, was held without
bail for similar length of time as
material witness.

Hotel Man Seeking

Trenton Recognizes Pictures
of Harold as Dish Washer;
Family of His Latest Wife
Here Refuses 10 Talk

Confirmation of the varied and
checkered career of Harold Schwarm
alias Prince Louis Henri de Bussigny
de Bourbon and a string of other
names, formerly mechanic of New
Britain, Conn, continues to be re-
ceived.
1t was learned last night that the
manager of a family hotel in Hartford,
Conn, is also looking for the youth in
connection with check. The manager
declared that after Harold disappeared
he received letter from him confess
ing his ambition to be great and we'll
known without the drudgery of having
to work for it.
Employees Of the Hotel Sterling in
Trenton, N. j., said yesterday that they
recognized the pictures of the "prince"
as those of a man who worked there in
1920 as dish washer. At that time,
they declared, he went by the name of
Martin Van Buren, claiming to be the
great-grandson of the former Presi-
dent. They described him as an i'm
maculate dresser and asserted that he
was much enamored Of q cook at the
hotel.
1t was discovered last night that
Lillian Wllkomerson, the latest wife of
the bogus prince, lived in an apart
ment house at l West 112th Street be-
fore she Joined her "titled' husband
and that her mother, an older and a
younger sister and younger brother
were still there. They refused to see
a reporter who called, but Leo GAN
berg, the owner of the apartment house,
knew something of the case. He said
that Lillian was a very bright girl
and that every one in the neighborhoo ood
thought highly Of her. He declared
that her family had opposed her match
with the "prince," and that since she
had joined him she had hardly been
seen there. He. also asserted that
LILLIAN had not only supported her hus-
band, but that with the help of Ida,
the older sister, she had done the same
for her mother and the two younger
children.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 9.-Inspectors
for the State Public Service Commits
sion daily examine locomotives on the
New York Central Railroad when they
halt at Albany and other division ter
minals on the system, to be certain
that there are no dangerous defects,
according to an announcement tonight
by Charles r. Vanneman, chief en-
gineer for the commission.
This inspection has been in progress
since the strike of the railroad shop
craft employees began, Mr.. Vanneman
declared. He also said that where
minor defects were found the inspect
ors required railroad officials to repair
them at once, and that in the case of
major defects the locomotives were
ordered withdrawn from service until
they had been repaired.
Mr.. Vanneman added that recently
the condition of the locomotives and
other rolling stock of the railroad had
been better than it was in the early
days of the strike.

Jeweler Freed of Charge He
Received Stolen Goods

A charge Of receiving stolen goods,
which has been on the criminal calen-
dar of the Supreme Court for more
than a year, naming Adolph w. Bren-
ner, jeweler of Broadway and Forti-
eth Street as defendant, was dismissed
yesterday by Justice Finch. Brenner
was tried a year ago and the jury dis
agreed. Since then, accordicng to
Samuel l. Ferguson, counsel for Bren-
ner, the case has been on the calendar
fortytwo times. Ferguson asked for
dismissal on the ground that the Dis
trict Attorney did not intend to bring
the case to trial.
Brenner was indicted in December.

247 Checks Discovered
With No Record of Any

Testimony tending to show irregu-

Brooklyn Bureau of Fire Prevention
was brought out yesterday at an inves~
tgation begun before David HirshAeld,
Commissioner Of Accounts, at the re-
quest of Fire Commissioner Thomas

Joseph B. Temple, an accountant in the
Commissioner OF Accounts office, tes-
tilted that on June "a last he discov-
cred in five different places in the

checks, totaling $1,9o4, for which no
permits had been issued, and for which
no entry had been made in any books

found in folders.
In reply to questions by Commission

evidence that cash had been taken out
and checks substituted in these trans
actions.
at would seem," said Commissioner
Hirshfeld, that the Brooklyn office
of tho bureau is conducted without
any bookkeeping system whatever. Hun
dreds Of checks sent with applications
for permits were found scattered in
drawers and files, of which no entry
could be found anywhere. The city had
no claim on this money until the per-
mits were issued, but it seems these
checks were deposited prior to the is
suance of the permits. Then, again, it
appears the cash deposited frequently
was in excess Of the cash received"
In answer to further questions by
the Commissioner, the witness gave it
as his opinion that the checks had
been used to cover up some previous
shortage, but, he said, the absence of
any record of receipts had made it very
difficult to ascertain exactly what dis
position had been made of the money.
He testified that the bureau had an
average income of from 5000 to $500
a day and that to ascertain whether
persons sending money for permits had
received the permits would require a
tremendous amount Of work. He esti-
mated that it would mean checking up
on about $4,000 applications. No in
vestigation of this department has
been made during the last three years.
Several representatives Of Brooklyn
concerns were examined for the pur-
pose of identifying checks that had
been sent to the bureau in payment of
permits. In each instance it appeared
that the check had been deposited
prior to the issuance of the permit
