Everything Is
 For EIks, Even
 The Big Moon
Antlers Find Warm Greet ing in Atlantic City and
 Open House
Especial to the Farmer.)

Atlantic City, July 10--"Hel1o Bill" has the town and will hold it for a week or more. Everything else must give way. It is Atlantic Citys de- sire to make this the biggest, the merriest, the most interesting conven- tion the B. P. O. F. ever held. The officials of the county and the city are Elks almost to a man. Under these auspices if a man with an Elk button wants anything, all he has to do is to ask for it. Let him but ask for the moon, if he will, and there will big golden orb.
 That's just the way it looks to No. 36, the Bridgeport 1odge,- which arriv- ed yesterday with the rest of the Con- necticut and Massachusetts delega-- tions at o'clock. The merry crowd the Pennsylvania depot led by the Att lantic City lodge. The latter bunch have put on white suits of clothes and do not intend to take them off except for night caps until the visitors have left the resort.
 The Bridgeport delegation, over 150 strong, found everything waiting for them on their arrival at the palatial Hotel New England, which will be No. 36's headquarters for the week Din ing at 6:s0, the Bridgeport crowd kept among themselves for the evening, visiting the many places of interest.
 Today when they awoke it was to look upon a purple ands white city. Bridgeporters, old visitors to the re- sort, did not know the place. The whole aspect of things has been changed. There are office buildings that are purple and white from the attic to the basement. Not g. store in sight lacks its banner in honor of the visitors. Clocks have the hands pointed to Il. Elks' heads adorn even some of the churches Private resi- dences add to the gaiety of the pie ture. Last evening the city was aglow in white and purple incandes- cent lights, today it is a sea of white and purple bunting.
 After breakfasting this morning, the Bridgeport Elks hurried to the Steel Pier where the registration books were open for business, and got in line for the Elks button, which is the badge of authority over the town. and every thing in it as long as the Hello Bills" choose to remain. This little lapel sign is worth getting, for it entities the wearer to everything that's free. In word, Atlantic City has declared open house for week, and the Bridge port delegation intends to make the most of it.

Boy Scouts May
 Camp Out With
 Black Wolf Seton

Mir. Ernest Thompson Seton, Chief Scout in the organization of Boy Scouts of America, has expressed his desire to have some of the. Bridge port scouts make use of the camp ing facilities of his estate at Cos Cob, during this week and part of next.
 For nine years Mir. Seton has thrown open his large property dur ing part of. June and July to his craft Indians, now affiliated with the boy scouts. The grand councils of the tribes held about their council fire are sights which people go miles to see. At the present time, a tribe from Rutherford. N. IT, is camping on the Seton estate, and last night, when Scout Commissioner Went wis ited MT. Seton to arrange for the visit of the local scouts, he was in- vited to remain after dinner and at- tend asi the meeting of f., the council. x'e l,.u seton) in the. full dress of Grand sagamore, and of Mir. John L. Alex ander, Dean of the Scout Masters Training School at Lake George, was greeted by many gutteral, How, fire was burning high in the center of great circle, back of which was grouped goodly audience. The regular course of business of a couf- cil meeting was carried through. When it was time for complaints, the mented upon the number of Jolly pop papers seen by him in his woods in- spection. The claims of several of the tribe for honorS for work done and for woodcraft requirements were allowed the Chief Sagamore giving the coveted feather which are the signs of honora ble exploits satisfac- torily accom- nDlished
 Then a member qualified for the rank of second class scout, and Mr. Alexander put him through his paces in first aid. He treated g broken and a wounded head. He ressusitat- ed a boy partly drowned and den- onstrated the fireman's lift and how to drag a perscn out of smoke f1ll- ed room. The tests were satisfacto :. fly passed, the nine others required were guaranteed by the scout master, and the applicant received his rank.
 AS there was a large audience, many coming from a distance, sev- eral being Bridgeporters, the tribe represented several Indian ceremonies, strong Caribou Medicine. a dirge for the dead, etc., accompanied by Black Wolf on the tom-tom. Mir. Alexander told several stories, and the Indians presented their water boiling contest. Did you ever take a log of hickory, an axe, ana two matcne6 anu pTo' ceed to time yourself at boiling quart of water? It turned out that the logs were wet, but that rather increased the interest as we'll as the record for time. All succeeded, for a scout does not give up. N
 Members of the Bridgeport scouts who would enjoy a very inexpensive outing are invited to call upon Com missioner Went this evening at eight Q clock and talk it over. Scout Mas ter Maitland will be on hand, with some of his boys. and plans for the start tomorrow will be perfected. A boy needs a blanket or two, a few a very small sum over his car fare, as a. grocer supplies the campers so that the expense is reduced to minimum.

OF FROST DEAL
Says He Has Enough Evidence
TO Sustain Claim on
Player

Pete Cassidy. while in Trenton yes
terday made an effort to gather a bit
Of evidence in his fight for the services
Of Lennie Frost Cassidy states he has
enough evidence to prove conclusively
that he is the real owner of Frost, but
that President Carpenter will not take
the player away from York. Cassidy
has letters and kilograms which ne
says show that he accepted terms with
Frost four days before Manager Wei
gand. incidentally Cassidy AYERS that
he considers Frost one of the most
promising youngcatchers he has seen
in some time.
Meyers. the left-hander, who has
created such a favorable impression
by his work for Wilmington, was a
member Of the Trenton club last sum-
mer He worked only a few games, but
his curves did not suit the powers that
be and he was let go. Meyers is a big
fellow, strong enough to stand the
vigorous work of six days a week base
ball and Cassidy looks for him to make
good.
