BOY SCOUTS.
Organization Hns Tripled Within
the Past Eight Months.

The Boy Scouts OF America have
tripled in the last eight months. There
are now 400 scout masters registered
with the national organization. On jan
uary / there were only ], 100 These facts
alone show that there are three times
as many troops OF scouts under the di-
rection Of the leaders of the Boy Scouts
of America as there were in the begin
ming of the year. While II Is hard to
figure on the number of boys. yet II is
quite probable that the boy scouts alone
number three times as many as at the
beginning Of the year.
This remarkable growth is due to many
reasons. First, boys in every village.
town, and city throughout the country
have read of the principles of the scout
movement and have appreciated how
much more fun they can have under a
good trainer or scout master, who takes
them into the woods and teaches them
various useful things for play and work.
Secondly, many young men, learning of
the principles of the scout movement
have become enthusiastic workers, and
haYe made efforts to organize troops be-
cause they are fond of the woods and
fond of the activities outlined in the
scout manual. Thirdly, the general in

Legislator Who Ran for Governor
ship Against His Brother, Conduct
ing n Musical Campaign, Healthy
and Happy at Three Score-Famous
as the "Pardoning Executive"

Senator Bob Taylor, of Tennessee,
better known at home as "Fiddling Bob, -
is sixty-one years old to-day. He is IA
nous as a lecturer and humoris., and
there is probably no other man in the
national legislature to-day who has as
many stories and funny anecdotes to his
credit as "Fiddling Bob" He has en-
inexhaustable fund Of good stories, and
he possesses the rare faculty of calling
the right story to mind at the right
time
The Senator earned his musical sobri-
quet by his ability as violin virtuoso.
He is an adept at this difficult phase OF
the musical art, and everybody has
heard the story Of the campaign which
he and his brother made, when each was
running for governor of Tennessee. The
brothersis likewise gifted and they trav-
eled together over the State. making
speeches and giving a joint vaudeville
show from the same platform.
Was Fine Little Pardoner.
When the Senator was governor of
Tennessee he issued a great many par
dons to men and women confined IN
penitentiaries or jails in that State. His
reputation as a "pardoning governor"
resulted in his being besieged by every
body who had relatives incarcerated
One morning an old negro woman made
her way into the executive offices and
asked Taylor to pardon her husband,
who was in Jail.
What's he IN for?'' asked the COVER
nor.
'Fo' nothin'. but stealin' a ham," ex-
planned the wife.
You don't want me to pardon him."
argued the governor. IF he got out he
would only make trouble for you again"
Deed I does want him out OBJ dat
place, she objected. II needs dat man.
why do you need him?" inquired
Taylor patiently.
Me and de chillun.' she said serious
", needs another ham"

CROSS DENIES BETTING
=, SCANDAL INVOLVES HIM
Inspector Says He Is Not the "Polce Officer of High
Rank" Who Is Alleged to Have Placed
Money on Horse Races Here.

Inspector Francis E. Cross last night
denied that he is the mysterious police
officer of high rank" who has been
charged, with other members Of the
metropolitan police department, by agents
of the Department Of Justice with betting
on races, and with having criminal
knowledge Of the operations Of certain
bookmakers.
Inspector Cross said he knows nothing
at all of the matter, and that he does
not believe there is any truth in the re-
port that charges have been preferred
against several policemen. He said that
Collins, arrested as bookmaker, was for
merly a policeman.
Officials at police headquarters say that
they know nothing further than what
they have read. Maj. Sylvester went
The Washington herald., 1911-07-31

to Harpers Ferry yesterday, and could
not be interviewed. but 1t is reported
that he has already had a conference
with the accused.
Both the Department Of Justice and the
district attorneys office refuse to give
any OF the particulars of the case, but
the charges probably will be transmitted
to the Commissioners to-day.
1t is said that the accused officer made
a bet On the day of the raid, and that
IL the government agents had come upon
the scene only a few minutes sooner,
they weuld have caught him in the act.
The raid was carefully and quietly
planned, and the arrests were most un-
expected.
The. accused officer, however. is not
the only person mentioned In the charges,
and 1t Is expected the present handbook
investigation will involve many members
of the force.

charges preferred by T. A. Hegarty, Of

said he would pay the regular charge Of

cases. The cut was treated upon the
payment of the money.
The charge Is possible" said DR.. Ma
