BOY SCOUTS WIN
A REAL BATTLE

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE first
recorded battle in which the Boy
Scouts of America ever partici-
pated occurred here when gang
of street urchins and "toughs" gave
chase to the Brooklyn scout patrol,
out on parade.
The test of the scouts came un-
expectedly, and the manner In
which the boys acquitted them
selves has excited favorable com.
ment.
The patrol was marching past the
marine barracks of the Brooklyn
navy yard. A gang Of toughs We're
in the yard watching a ball game
between the marine team and a
team of outsiders. When they saw
the scouts in their natty Uniforms
some street gamin piped, up: "Oh,
look at de tin soldierst
The young rowdiesH rushed the
scouts, who stood their ground as
we'll as they could, although out
numbered four to one. Finally a
detachment of marines was ordered
out to guard their little brothers OF
the scout patrol. The scouts had
the sympathy of all the spectators
who helped them to drive off their
prosecutors.

keeping eyes at the same time on
the intruder. Not much was accom-
plished on the first visit, as the girl
had strict orders not to speak to
Americans.
The second time the girl was
found alone, the boss Of the shop
having gone outside for a few mo-
ments. She admitted the life she
was leading and the conditions I'M
der which she lived. She seemed to
have abandoned hope and consented
to drift with the tide. She admit
ted a partnership with the italian
in the life she was leading, yet she
would not consent to the publica-
ton of a statment that would lay
the matter bare for official acton.
The case of this girl is but an
other of many such existing today
in Spokane, under the present po-
lice regime. Until the control of
the police department has under
gone a change there seems to be no
hope for an improvement, as The
Press has time and again in the last
month called attention to the motor
ious conditions of white slavery car
ried on in connection with some of
the fruit stands and cigar stores Of

She lived in the country and some
distance from Spokane, and one day
saw an ad in the want columns of
one of the evening papers of this

advertisement, inserted in the paper
by one of the foerign fruit stand
proprietors of Spokane, and took
the job. She was supposed to have
taken a clerical position, but soon
the real character of the employ

natural instincts at first rebelled
against the life she was asked to
lead, but necessity soon broke her
down and she was victim of the
system of white slavery that flour

Funds of Rockefeller Foundation to
Be Handled by John D., Jr.

New York, March 3.-Jno. d. Rock
efeller, jr, will probably become the
active head of the new Rockefeller
foundation and devote his entire
time to the philanthropic work under
taken by his father.
To this end young Rockefeller re-
signed as a director of the Standard
Oil company on January IL. Mr..
Rock efeller, this week severed his
connection with the United States
steel corporation and plans to retire
from all active buiness relations that
he may be unhampered in the direc-
ton of the Rockefeller foundation.
The control and directions of the
vast sums of the Rockefeller founda-
ton involves a task which will require
the undivided energies of young Mr..
Rockefeller for years to come.
