what is the Boys Brigade

Few people realize the work of the
Boys brigade. When we say Boys
brigades we do not mean the local
company but the world wide organiza-
tion Of the United Boys Brigades OF
America.
Organized twenty eight years ago by
Mr.. Smith, of England, it slowly
progressed until to-day it is world
wide crusade for Christ's work among
boys. Started with few boys, to-day
numbering over 10000 with companies
In great many states of our great
United States and in England, Ire
land, Scotland, India and Africa.
Christ said go out unto all the world
and preach the gospel and this is what
the Boys brigade, an undenomina-
tional organization is doing to-day.
Its object is the advancement OF
Christ's kingdom among boys, and the
promotion of habits of obedience, rev.
erence, discipline, eself-respect and all
that tends toward true Christian man
illness with view to the DEVELOPMENT
Of piety and patriotism.
The agencies for carrying out the
objects Of this organization is Bible
training, literary, missionary and pa
triotic studies and military drill
The representative body is nation
al assembly composed of all commits
stoned officers of the organization the
president of state and regfmental or
ganizations. This assembly elects the
commander-ln.chi and all other Off
GERS as provided for in the constitu
tion.
Each state has a division command
er and his staff. He takes care of al
state brigade work and co-operate'
with the national headquarters. A
division that has membership o.
over 500 elects its own division com
mander.
Companies are organized by churches
of all denominations and are chartered
and officers are commissioned by the
national headquarters.
The Boys brigade serves to binC
more closely to the church, the boys
already connected with it and it at
tracts from the outside, boys who
have no church connections and start!
them in the right direction.
The church begins to discover The
boy, the important question Of tho
church and our country. If you save
man, you save unit, save boy ant
you save a multiplication table.
The Holy Bible, the American flag
the constitution of the United States
these three are woven into the Boys
brigade. These three are what makes
our country the greatest country ir
the world.
Let us take hold of the boy let III
arouse his enthusiasm for Cody an(
a pure life and we will succeed in edu
eating better citizen and far bet
ter man.

RICH DON'T PAY;
MERCHANTS FAIL
Newport Dealers Ready to Take
Vigorous Measures to
Collect Debts
Especial to The Herald)

NEWPORT, r. l., Oct. 30.-Mer-
chants of this city, recognized as the
most fashionable summer resort in the
United States, are ready to organize
a squad to guard all outgoing trains.
The merchants are not looking for con-
flicts; rather they want money, and
some want it so badly that they will
be forced to join fellow tradesmen by
seeking the bankruptcy court. All this
has been brought about by the failure
of the wealthy cottage owners to PITY
their bills. A number of merchants
have failed because the men and
women of millions cannot take the
trouble to settle tradesman's account.
There are some people, of course, in
Newport who pay their bills, but mer-
chants have gone on record as saying
the majority of people who spend the
summer and fall in Newport leave
without paying their meat, grocery OF
wine bills. Some cottages were sup
piled all summer without sending a
check to their tradesmen.
A fish dealer of years standing has
closed shop temporarily, unable to tide
over his accounts because he carries
almost $4,000 on his books, and his
creditors crowded him. Other shops
are totttering for money owed them in
the cottage settlement. A merchant
said that woman abroad with her
children and who rents her cottage on
Bellevue avenue has owed him about
$500 for several years. Each year he
adds per cent interest to the bill.

Authorities Give Out Names of
Men Suspected in Times
Dynamite Plot
TWO OTHERS STILL DETAINED
Captain and Engineer of Power
Boat Held Under Guard
of Officials

MEXICO CITY, Oct. SO.-The names
Of the three men who were arrested
at Acapulco yesterday, suspected of
being implicated in the dynamiting of
the Los Angeles Times building and
who were aboard the power schooner
Kate, are Harry Ham, o. Carlson and
Dan Archer, according to kilograms
received here today.
The names are given as they are
registered on the boats papers.
In addition Swan Engdethe, the cap
tain, and Adolph Adolphson, the engi-
neer said to be the owner, are still
aboard the Kate, under guard of Gus
toms house officials.
AS soon as the schooner entered port
to take on supply of gasoline she
was boarded by the American consul
and a port official. The sum of $4,000
was found.
The captain stated he had been en-
gagged at a contract price by Adolph-
son to take the schooner from San
Francisco to the Galapagos islands,
off the coast of Peru and Ecuador.
The register of the schooner states
that Ham, Carlson and Archer were
each to receive the sum of 500 month.
Carlson, Ham and Archer are now in
prison pending investigation. On ac-
count of a storm the men were forced
to throw overheard the gasoline on
hand and run into port for new
supply.

DENY CONNECTION WITH
CAMERON DAM CONFLICT

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 30.-A state
ment was issued tonight by the Chip
pewa Lumber and Broom company and
the Mississippi River Logging COM
pany, through John r. Rhodes, secre-
tary for Frederick Weyerhauser,- con-
cerning the controversy with John r.
Deitz, and disclaiming any connection
with the recent conflicts at Cameron
Dam, Wis.
1t is stated that Cameron dam was
built under a charter granted by the
Wisconsin legislature in 1874, that one
end of the dam was built upon land
owned for many years by the company
and the other on land now owned by
Hattie e. Deitz. Court records are
cited to prove that former owners of
the land granted the owners of the
dam a perpetual right to erect dam
and flow for the facilitating of the TAX
ing and driving of logs.
When the land was conveyed to Mrs.
Deitz this reservation was inadVert-
entity omitted, it is stated. But, says
the statement, the United States court
finally ruled that the only interest
which the Deitzs had in the dam was
subject and subordinate to the rights
of the logging company.
The trouble with the Deitz family,
which began in 1904, resulting in a re-
sort to arms on several occasions, is
reviewed, and it is finally stated that
neither company had any connection
with the recent conflicts with Deitz.

MAN, 80, NEAR DEATH AFTER
BEING LOST IN MOUNTAINS
Robbed in Los Angeles, Wanderer
Starts Long Walk
Especial to The HeraldI

SAN 'BERNARDINO, Oct. SO.-After
being lost for two days in the wilds of
City Creek canyon, Joseph Perry, SO
years old, was rescued by Dr. Edward
Rohrer near the outskirts of Highland,
to which place the old man had finally
found his way. The exhausted wan
derer was carried to the home of DR..
Rohrer, where he is now recovering
from the hardships that in another few
hours would have probably ended his
life.
Perry says he is from Arcata, little
town about fifteen miles from Eureka,
and that he came south for his health,
only to be robbed by friend who
came with him and who took $75, rep
resenting all his savings. He also says
that he took ill in Los Angeles and
was taken to a hospital. While lying
sick all his belongings except the
clothing he wore were stolen from his
home in an italian lodging house,
Perry walked from San Bernardino to-
ward the mountains and became lost
