.HOBOES FINDING
PROSPERITY
PREVALENT
Fewer Migrants and Number
of ,Drunks Arrested Is Less,
Wisconsin Reports.
By JOHN ID. MUELLER,
International News Service.

SUPERIOR, Wis, July 19.-Ho-
boes finding their way into this city
are sharing in the general pros
perity smiling upon the land.
: There are by far fewer "vags'
and "drunks" arrested here this
year who are financially broke
than was the case one year ago, ac-
cording to police records. The num-
Der has fallen off approximately 25
per cent, the records show. While
the average hobo is far from opu.
lent, he has at least few dollars,
the records reveal-quite different
from conditions one year ago. Then
the average person arrested on such
charges possessed, in hundreds Of
cases, not even so little as a nickle.
Another indication of improved
financial conditions among the
knights of the road is the fact that
the number of men held to work
off sentences for petty offenses
shows a marked decrease. The
average drunk" this year is able
to furnish the required $40 and
costs" himself, or has friends with
sufficient funds to secure his re-
lease.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Orders d.
recting all unemployed members OF

fellow members of the organiza-
ton there, have. been issued by
every 1. w. w. organization in the

rotary of the ! I. w. w. branch OF
the Marine Transport Workers

"At least three, and perhaps six
members Of the L. w. w. were
taken out by citizen mpbs at Port
Arthur and beaten. Our members
have been ordered to prevent any
thing like this occurring again. OF
course we do not plan to use force
just oratory," Shuskie said.
Shuskie said he was unable to
estimate how many men would
answer the call, but expected the
number to be from 10000 to $4,000
and that reports indicated that five
thousand members of the l. w. ~
were already on their way to N

NEW YORK, July 10. - Mrs.
Charlotte Cheatham Mayo, whose
matrimonial ventures have been
much before the divorce courts,
must appear in person to defend
the counter suit Of her husband,
Roy Mayo.
Identification, Of Mrs. Mayo from
a photograph was frustrated today
by the court when Ralph c. Kretch-
mar, Of New York, attempted 20
testify relative to an alleged
bigamous. marriage. last March to
Mrs. Mayo. He identified a photo
graph, presumably one of Mrs.
Mayo, as the woman he married.
The court refused to admit the
photograph, ordered Kretchmars tes-
timony stricken cut, and adjourned
the. proceedings. z. A. Heffonan,
counsel for Mayo, said he would at.
tempt to compel Mrs. Nayo's pres
ence so she might be positively
identified by Kretchmar.
The woman sued for divorce
alleging infidelity, and won a yer.

reopened again and filed a counter
suit. Mayo testified today he mar.

$50 Bogus Draft Means Moth

BY ROLAND KREBS,
International News Service,

CHICAGO, July 10. - A judge,
three baliffs, fourteen policeman
one court clerk, two stenographers
and a husband were willing to take
an oath today that Mrs. Geraldine
Emmanuel Cortez Prettyman could
get just about anything on earth
she wished if she fox-trotted her
eyes enough.
part lightning, the CLEAN of three
pecks of sapphires, eight parts

Jaw, please" and lot Of Nov,

When Lieut.. Lee T. Prettyman,
OF Chicago, formerly a naval pilot,
got in , their range in Barcelona,
Spain, where her wealthy parents
live, he took & combination nose
dive and tail-spin into romance and
they were married.
Today they were in court charged
with ,cashing a bogus draft for $50.
When the Spanish eyes and Span
ish lips and Spanish features en-
tered the room the heart of every
one, from Judge O'Toole down, went
bump, bump, bump, BANG!
The judge dipped his pen in the
Ink and prepared to be awfully
generous. He frowned at a tubby
policeman who slicked back his hair
and tried to look fascinating.
"Oh, honey love you so much,
30 very much" said the senora-to
her husband, not the judge. Every
thing went foggy in front of his
honor. He didn't hear the lieutenant
explaining that the draft was against
his father, a Maryland clergyman.
He couldn't read the telegram from
the minister saying the $50 would
be remitted.
All Judge O'TolIe could see was
Spanish eye, moon silver, latticed
windows, flashing guitars, Spanish
eyes. Spanish eyes, Spanish eyes!
The prisoners are released on
their own recogniZance," he said,
"and this case continued"
Out went Senior Don Lee and his
bride.
The Judge got hard boiled. The
policemen grew stern. The next
case was that of a husband who
didn't bring his wife along. Just
what the charge was doesn't matter.
He'll probably get ninety years.

HIGHWAYS
NEEDED, SAYS
FORD
Auto King Thinks Roads
Should Be Wider and
Better.

That Henry Ford does not desire
the same air of antiquity in the
approach to his recently acquired
Wayside Inn as he does in the in.
terror Is evidenced by his remarks
on road conditions throughout the
country surrounding his property.
'I am charmed with the inn and
the land around it." he said, al
though I cannot say the same for
the roads. Something must be done
about them, the constantly growing
use Of motor transportation cannot
be stopped and as the roads are now
inadequate to meet the demands
made upon them they must be
made so.
my belief is that the solution lies
in parallel roads and roads double
the width Of the present ones. And
they must be of concrete, too. There
Is nothing like concrete for roads;
1t is unbearable. I know from OBJ
servation by my own organization
that concrete is the best Of known
road construction.
Properly constructed, q concrete
surface will outwear any other and
will prove the most economical in
the end.
"The trails of New England served
well enough years ago, before the
Inn was built, but the utilization of
the motor car makes 1t necessary
to abandon the old winding trail
idea and construct our present and
future roads, straighter and of per
manent materials"

WHY'S CLOSED
CAR HAS NEW
FEATURES
Display at Local Rooms Shows
Greater Refinement Of Ac-
copied Lines.

The new closed car models an.
nounced by Willys-O Overland, Inc,
and displayed at the show rooms
of r. McReynolds & Son, are mark
ed by q number of commendable
body changes featuring various Inn
provements, added beauty, more
comforts and increased utility.
Any mechanical innovations are
in the nature of incidental refine.
ments which have in no way alter.
ed the chassis Of either the WHY'S.
Knight or Overland cars. Both
chassis remain practically un-
changed.
The new Overland models are now
going out equipped with a more
powerful motor having q larger
bore.
Most noticeable in the changes
brought about IN the Wi11ys-Knight
seven-passenger sedan at 1896
f. o. b. Toledo. are the long sweep
ing lines back from the radiator
which gives the car q longer, lower
and more fleet appearance. Certain
well-defined body improvements
have added comfort and convent.
ence for driver and passengers.
In producing the new Overland
Champion, early in October, WHY'S.
Overland again succeeded in actual.
~ introducing to the public some
thing radically novel and fresh.
Front and rear seats can be adj
justed forward or back to provide
absolute ease and comfort for tail
and short people, three distinct
positions being available which
gives two inches Of adjustability on
each seat.
Another uncommon characteristic
of the Champion Is that both seats
and upholstery can be entirely re-
moved and made up into a luxuri-
GUS bed right in the car. This in
itself will be an outstanding boon
to motor campers.
Another remarkable feature Of
this versatile car is the arrange
ment whereby the rear seat and
upholstery can be taken out, pro-
viding fifty feet of clear space for
the salesman's sample case, trunks,
luggage, etc.; the farmers tools,
bags Of grain, seed, groceries, sup
plies, truck and what-not; while
the camper will rejoice in the avail
able room for camping duffel and
other equipment that is necessary
for the proper enjoyment Of the
outdoors.

BAKER HEADING
FOR PACIFIC
IN OLDS
"CannonbaII" Is Making His
Sixty-second Run-only
One Gear in Car.

In October, 1908, exactly twenty
years ago this month, the first auto
mobile was driven from coast to
coast. This feat was heralded as a
great achievement and columns were
written about it.
This great undertalking-and it
was great when one considers the
conditions that existed at the time
proved to the country that the auto
mobile was a practical vehicle OF
transportation and marked the real
beginning Of the growth Of the auto
mobile industry.
Thousands Have Made 1t.
Since 1908, thousands Of cars
have been driven from ocean to
ocean. However, to "Cannonbali'
Baker belongs the distinction b1
having made the transcontinental
trip by automobile or motorcycle
more times than any other indi-
vidua1. This famous race driver
cific exactly sixty-one times,
"Cannonball' Ia now well on his
way from New York to Los Angeles
in one of the recently announced
new Oldsmobile skies. Instead Of
the usual 6pS0O tSSI gu1S pEcOcAe
trip-his sixty seconds being made
in high gear every foot Of the way.
One Gear Left.
Prior to leaving New York city,
low, second and reverse gears were
removed from the transmission Of
the Oldsmobile car in the presence Of
newspaper representatives, and the
transmission case was sealed.
The car and driver are attracting
nationwide attention. Baker re-
ports that every hill encountered so
far has been made with ease, AMI
he predicts no trouble whatever even
when he reaches the far Western
mountainous country.
