KING OF HOBOES WILL FIGHT TO KEEP HIS TITLE Jeff Davis Will Retain His Job, Even If He Would Lose Job. B;I I tnl rri Prr ss NEW YORK. Jan. 3.—Jeff Davis. | Kins? of the Hoboes, is going back to Cincinnali and fight for his title even if it costs him the tobaccochewing job he has held for a ,-~r, 1 he vowed today. With yellowed newspaper clip-: pings and worn letters from prominent people strewn over his suite i in a fashionable hotel, the pleasant i Mr. Davis was quite disturbed about ! Dr. Ben Rietman A Chicago, second vice preside-, of the "Hoboes of America," claiming to be king. In fact, the attempt to usurp his throne was so disturbing to Mr. \ Davis and his wife that their trip here to celebrate their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary has been all but spoiled. Elected for Life Mr. Davis, organiser of the hoboes 28 years ago, thought all claims to his throne would vanish with his election as pre.'.'dent, for life at the convention in Pittsburgh last April. Hi# flection then was for the j avowed purpose of keeping these j chislers from claiming titles “they , do not rightfully possess.” “He'll go the w'ay of Dan O'Brien." Mr. Davis said o f Dr. Rietman's claim to the title. Mr. O'Brien was kicked out of the organization in 1934 because he had told around that he was king. O'Brien and Dr. Rietman were knighted by Mr. Davis in 1933. “I’ll call a trial as soon as I get j bark to Cincinnati next, week.” Mr. Davis said. “He'll be charged with making false claims and if he is thrown out of the organization and still claims he's king we ll sue him.” Outlook Seems Dark The outlook for Rietman isn’t any too hopeful—Mr. Davis is “jungle Judge” in addition to being king. The jury Mr. Davis picked from the membership to hear the charges against Dr. Rietman was notable. Georg* Arliss. the ator. Mayor William McNair of Pittsburgh, and Major George Berry. Federal industrial co-ordinator, were among the first named. Mr. Davis considered asking honorary member Harry Hopkins but decidede he was too busy with his projects down at Washington. “I’m not just king of t-hp United States’ Hoboes.” Mr. Davis said with some pride as he exhibited a 1

ife jiß ./■ a jfe HR '.V’ \9 , i I

Funeral services are to be held at 8 tonight in the Flanner & Buchanan mortuary by the Scottish Rite for Manning Norland, above, manager of the Indianapolis office of Ernst & Ernst, accountants, who died Wednesday in Methodist Hospital. Other rites and burial are to be held in Chicago, where Mr. Norland resided until ]7 years ago. when he came to Indianapolis. Mr. Norland lived at 5231 N. Deiaware-st. He was 42. He was a member of the National Association of Certified Public Accountants, Indianapolis Athletic Club, Indianapolis Country Club. Scottish Rite and Prather Masonic lodge. Survivors are the widow. Mrs. Inez Norland, and his mother, Mrs. Stella Norland. Indianapolis. letter from Nottingham, England, “I'm hobo king of the world.” The letter began, “Your Royal Highness.” Mr. Davis called from a store about a fur coat while the king was saying things about “fourflushers” and “chislers.” “Sure, Mama,’’ King Jeff said lovingly, “if it's good fur pay 'em cash and get a receipt for . “ Two years ago Mr. Davis was sawing wood in a Cincinnati woodyard because he was too proud to go on relief. Then the job with the tobacco company was offered and the king of hoboes, who helped Uncle Sam sell $15,000,000 worth of Liberty Loans during the World War, came into his first affluence. That's why Mrs. Davis wears diamond ear bobs and a fur coat and stays in the fashionable hotel with King Jeff. It's all very nice. King Jeff admitted. but he couldn't be happy If he lost the title he has sought for the last three decades. So he's going back to Cincinnati to fight for that, title and he hopes his job will will be waiting for him when its all over.
