Omaha and Council Bluffs Authorities
Will Unite In Making Raids on Ideal
e
Hobo Clearing House In Existence
Twenty Years.
“Hoboes’ Heaven,” ns It Is enlled, or
the “Clearing House For Tramps.” th<*
great summer camp which tho Weary
Willies passing between the east auri
the west have built up just below
Council Bluffs, la., and across the
Missouri river from Omaha, is to be
broken up, and the police and sheriffs
of Omaha and Council Bluffs have
joined forces for this purpose, says an
Oinftha special dispatch to the New
York Herald. This place is not the
abode of any regular number of
tramps, but Is the stopping point and
resting place of thousands of tramps
who drift in, stay a day or two anti
drift onward again.
“1 counted 150 men in the camp one
day last summer,” says Chief of To
ike Richmond of Council Bluffs. "Two
days later I made another trip there,
and while there were more than 10U
(ramps scattered around not a single
one of these had been there when I
paid my first visit.”
Tho camp has attained national re
nown among box car travelers. It is
an ideal place for a tramp camp Sit
uated close to Big I.ake, with plenty of
big shade trees and fine grass and
right by the side of the groat freight
yar s. where trains from all directions
on sixteen different railroads pass at
all hours of the day and night, the
hobo who tires of the road may rest a
few days in peace, while those who
have already recuperated may catch a
freight and go on their way without
trouble.
The tramps have constructed a huge
fireplace, and there are many articles
of kitchen use ss s pert of the camp’s
equipage. It Is s rigid rnls that none
of these utensils ere to be carried from
the place, but nil are to be left for the
free use of any tramp who may be in
camp. This rule Is adhered to without
exception. There are many large pans
and pots and cans, and altogether (be
tramps are well supplied with camp
facilities.
For sleeping purposes there are bun
dreds of empty box cars. In these the
tramps stretch out at night and sleep.
When they wake up In the morning.
If the box car happens to have been
put into a train and started out, It
makes little difference to these trav
elers.
Passing by the “clearing house” are
six railroads to Chicago, three to Min
neapolis, two to St. Louis, two to Kan
sas City and four to Denver and the
Pacific coast. Tramps from all direr
tlons must pass by the camp If they
are bound north, south, east or west,
and thousands of them take the oppor
tunlty to stop off a few days and rest
up.
The tramps have a kind of police
system, and no fights or rows ever
take place In the “heaven.” It Is an
unwritten law that there most be no
trouble of this kind as long as a man
remains in the camp. For food whl’e
resting the tramps forage Many of
them travel in hands, of w-hlch -one or
two are appointed cooks. The others
get the food. Sometimes It Is obtained
by begging. When that source falls
the tramps have recourse to purchas
ing from stores in Council Bluffs and
Omaha.
When a robbery or a holdup b:^
been committed in Omaha or Council
Bluffs a raid Is made on the tramps,
and the criminal is found by the po
lice. More usually the culprit, If he
has been staying In the camp, gets out
of town by the way of the “side door
Pullman” route la-fore the officers can
got him. Last spring a son of the
mayor of Guttenburg, Bwelen, was ar
rested at the place. He was going
under the name of Henry Otto and had
been paroled from the Iowa prison by
Governor Cummins. Papers In his pos
session proved absolutely that the man
was of high standing In Sweden, or.
rather, that his family was. Tin
proved that Otto had served wlTh
Dewey In the battle of Manila Bay and
carried n medal” for bravery on that
occasion.
Marlon Hedgepeth, one of the most
notorious train robbers and holdup
men In the west, was found to have
been making his headquarters in the
camp recently. Hedgepeth was ar
rested while crossing the bridge Into
Omaha. He Is wanted on a charge of
blowing a safe in Council Bluffs.
The Pinkerton detectives make a
raid frequently and find some noted
•rook or criminal who Is resting and
hiding himself after committing a
crime.
The camp has been In existence for
twenty years, but in the last two years
has be-ome so great as to be a menace
to both Omaha and Council Blnffta, and
the police departments of those cities
have determined to break np the
tramp Infested “heaven” If possible.
SURRENDER OF CORNWALLIS.
Hietorieal Event to Be Commemorated
at Jameetown Exposition.
Yorktown day will be celebrated at
the Jamestown exposition Oct. 19.
This will be one of the last historical
days, the ceremonies of which have at
tracted such wide attention. Reprc
sentatlves of the original thirteen
states will meet in the Auditorium
and after the formal ceremonies of the
day will organize a new society, wbicli
will be known as the Society of the
Descendants of the Signers of the Dec
laration of Independence.
Senator p. C. Knox of Pennsylvania
and Senator John W. Daniel of Vir
glnia will be among the orators of the
occasiou. The idea of banding togeth
er in a ^pciety the descendants of the
signers of the Declaration originated
with William Shields McKean, tem
porary president of the proposed or
ganization. Mr. McKean has made a
tour of the thirteen states and has suc
ceeded In interesting a large number
of eligible im-mlierH. No effort will l»e
made, according to the present arrange
ment of tlie programme, to organize
state societies. One national society
will l>e maintained, with headquarters
probably In Washington. The bylaws
will provide for the observance of alt
holidays growing out of the Revolu
tlonary war and also for the proper
decorations of the battlefields and the
graves of patriot heroes.
For a long time it has been the con
tention of many members of the ex
Istlng hereditary societies that there
Is a disposition to slight the acts per
formed by civil obleers In favor of the
more spectacular deeds done by the
army and navy. At the Philadelphia
congress of the f^ons of the American
Revolution held in 1900 it remained
for a delegate from the District of Co
lumbia to point out that the grave of
John Morton, a delegate to the Con
tinenlai congress and one who gave
the casting vote of Pennsylvania for
the Declaration of Inde|»qndence, was
neglected and unmarked.
FOOTBALL IN BLOOMERS.
This Sport and Bare Feet Dabbling In
Dew For Girls’ School.
The girls out at the College For Wo
men at the Western Reserve univer
sity at Cleveland, O., are going to play
football In bloomers and also dabble
in the dewy grass in their bare feet,
says a Cleveland (O.) special dispatch
to the Philadelphia Press. The only
drawback is that Miss E. G. May, tin-
new physical director, Is having hard
work to find an obscure field wherein
the lassies under her charge may in
dulge free from the stares of the in
quisitive boys of Adalbert college, the
law and library schools of the univer
sity, which are neighbors to the girls’
school.
Miss May doesn't call the sport foot
ball. It's English hockey with her.
But eleven girls play on each team,
there are running and line bucking and
all the features of football w ithout any
of those usually found in the game of
hockey. And they’ll wear bloomers,
she says with all the firmness her
eleven years’ charge of the Vassar
“gytn” has given her.

Dissenting from the opinion of most
of his fellow countrymen. Professor
John Lester, an English speaker, at a
meeting of the Friends' Educational

that the manners of boys In tho Unit
ed States were better than thoss of
English lads. This, be held, was 4ns to
the infii’.euce of .k:.ieiicau mothers and
woman teachers In onr schools.

Lester, “learns his first lesson la mor
