and Bill, their much browbeaten un-
derstudy, were industriously at work.
At one side Of the office diagonally
from. the managing EDITORS desk was
q high mahogany desk which backed
against wooden partition which cut
off a small room used as a "morgue,"
the place where newspaper and maya
zine clippings are kept for reference. T.,
p Through the partition round hole
about five inches in diameter had been
cut with a handsaw, and on a table in
the morgue a camera had been rested
with the telescope pretuberance con-.
tanning the lens projecting through the
hole in the partition into a private
mail box directly above the desk. The
door of this box, into which We're
placed letters arriving for the managr
ing editor during. his absence, had
been unlocked. A line Of shoe thread
had been fastened to the door of the
box and extended down behind the
desk to the floor and across to the
left hand side of Brands desk. A
slight tug on the thread would cause
the door Of the mail box to open, ex-
posing to the lens Brands desk, his
chair and another chair which had
been placed at the right Of the desk
next to the telephone.
For several minutes the mysterious
preparations went on. Just what they
meant no one but Brand could tell,
and he was strangely silent, except as
to directing what should be done:
Hartley was anxious to make GER

The answering voice came back.
Yes; that's the very thing. It's all
right now"
Brand stepped forward from a cor

been watching the final preparations

BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT
 IS GAINING IMPETUS
Organization May Sometime Be Re
 presented In this City.

The development of the Boy Scouts" in America is earning we'll deserved praise on all sides True. there have been several criticisms on the ground that the movement is too military. but these have been few and are without foundation Frank R. Arthurs, in the December Outing. thoroughly discusses the organization. He says in part:
 Before going a step further it might be we'll to correct an impress sion that is false. though it still per sists in the minds of many and might with them prove hostile to the Boy Scout movement. The Boy Scouts of America is not d military organization Drill is precisely the thing it aims to get away from. Drill is monotOnous, and can be relied on by a leader who is looking for the line of least resis- tance. No one need fear that the Boy Scouts of America stand for mil itarism in any sense.
 But in America, where he have no such intense military rivalries, there is no military significance to the Boy SCouts-unless indeed tO he prepar ing for war to have body of healthy, keen-eyed. alert, observant. capable boys growing to manhood Here its significance is very different from war and is best expressed by a story Mir. Seton tells:
 " on a certain estate in New En- gland it was found several years ago that the boys of the town were ex- tremely annoying They would paint ln to bear a fiendish ill will against the owner. and to vent it in depredations on the property at every safe oppor- tunity. MT Seton had a bright idea. One day he invited a group of the town boys to come on the estate and camp. He told them to bring their friends.
 Most unexpectedly the boys did bring their friends. and on the day ap- pointed NIT. Seton found himself taken at his word by upwards of forty little savages. as keen for fun as young America ever it. He told them they could go in swimming naked if they wished. ir the lake. He led their sports. and that night when they had thoroughly eXhaused their animal spir- its and were gathered about the camp fire after a hearty dinner, he pro pounded his scheme It was nothing less than organizing themselves into a band of backwoodsmen and seriously playing at woodcraft.
 Tt was settled with a shout of ap- proval In short order Mir. Seton had those boys SD in love with Nature that the problem of the owner of the estate was solved. There were no more depredations. In fact. just the opposite-they protected the estate. One day a little fellow brought in a rabbit which he had secured from a friend and turned it loose.
 That's to pay. sir. for one I killed when we used to sneak in here," he said. referring to the former state of hostifities between the boys and the owner.
 Tt is with some such ideal of creat- ing a wholesome love of Nature for Natures sake that Mir Seton has talk en hold of the Boy Scouts-peac9 scouts War drill has no real part in it"

Ad Wolgast showed a good head when he decided that he would have none of Battling Nelson's game until next February. Promoters evidently went one step beyond themselves when they announced that arrangements had been completed for twenty round bout between the former and present lightweight champions. for they had failed to consult the Michi- gan lad.
 It would have been fools folly for Wolgast to get into the ring with the Dane within the next month CT two The champions arm is still in bad shape and. although the fracture is mending rapidly. it is still far from fit for a grueling grind such as would re- suit were the title-holder and Nelson to get together

PAYNE DEFENDS
 THE TARIFF HE AND ALDRICH MADE
Special from United Press.)


 Lyons, N Y, Sept ,23-That the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill absolutely full filled the promises of the last Repub- lcan platform for downward revis- ion'' and that it is an excellent law with the possible exception of the wool schedule, was the defiant contention of Sereno B. Payne. one of its authors, in a. speech here today. For the 14th time Payne was renOninated by the Republicans of the 31st New York dis trict and he took exception to defend the tariff, especially from the conten- tion that it is responsible for the high cost of living.
 every foreign country he said, ttand with differences in wages in every part of this country. honest men, seek and abroad, will not agree. To recon ci1e these differences 12 men selected for the task was part of the work that Congress had to do in making up the tariff schedules in the last ana1y- sis these differences had to be settled by a vote. The result was satisfac- tory to me in general results.
 T was anxious to revise the woolen schedule but the committee could not ag1 ee on the amendment. This was not that the committee was unduly it could not agree upon the labor cost of producing wool and woolen goods inthis country and abroad with a req sonable profit to the producer.
 
 for the bill as it passed the House When the bill went to conference it was stated in the House that I would not agree to any Senate amendments unless I were given the facts that warranted it. I have no apology to make for the result. When the con ference report was adopted by the House officially ten of the progress sives' voted for it.
 ''The Payne law has turned a deficit of $58 COOL 900 into a surplus of 2,000,- GOO, in it's first year of operation. It is an easy thing to say that the pres ent tariff law has increased the cost of living, but it is impossible to prove it. It is almost impossible to find a single item on which the tariff has beeen increased which the price has shown a. similar increase.
 Much important legislation was passed and greater progress made to- ward conservation of natural resources than during any year in history. Other legislation is needed but con servation would be safe if no other laws were enacted. The time will come when lying and false witness shall e.''
