Frank Walter a check for 800, reducing

Accompanying Mr.. Walters check
was the following letter:

BOY SCOUTS CAMP
. MAY Be MADE INTO
NATIONAL AFFAIR
Success of Venture At River
View Leads to Larger
Plans.

So very successful has the Boy Scouts
camp at River View been that II now Is
planned to make It a national AFFAIR.
The grounds of the old river resort can
be obtained for next summer and tenta-
tive plans call for a general invitation to
Boy Scouts all over the United States.
According to e. s. Martin, in charge Of
the local offices of the Scouts, there are
hundreds Of Boy Scouts throughout the
United States who never have paid the
National Capital a visit, or have seen
Mt. Vernon. The plan is to make the
camp 80 attractive next summer that
parents all over the country will send
their boys here for several weeks
While at camp they could come to the
city sightseeing and in the Scouts boats
visit Mt Vernon.
There is room at River View for sew
eral hundred tents, and It is believed
that once the proposition is properly
advertised that there would be no
trouble in making the camp a national
instead of a local affair A better place
than River View hardly could be OBJ
tained; for almost every camping con-
dition Is met there.
At the present eight army tents are
used. Next summer II is planned to have
ct least a hundred, and more II neces-
sary.
The present camp Is under the man
agement OF Malcolm p. Junkin. of Penn
sy-lvania State College. Mr.. Junkin In
addition to being a splendid swimmer
and all-round athlete, Is physician,
and has established a hospital tent at
the camp. J. T. Wise. of Georgetown
University, is director of water activ-
tiles, and J. A. Martin, also George
town man, Is director Of athletics. X.
]. Bonde and r. c. Howes are Scout
masters.
The buildings at River View have
been turned over to the boys. the
dancing pavilion has been made into a
basketball course. The old dining room
and kitchen has been put into CONDITION
and is being used as a mess hall the
merry go-round shelter has been turned
into carpenters shop; me ten-pin
alleys have been repaired and the boys
roll games daily. The office building
has been converted into storeroom.
J. A. Thomas and wife are In charge
OF the kitchen and dining room. They
formerly were with a local steamship
line, They feed the boys on chicken
ham and eggs. fish. and almost every
thing the market affords. What is lack
ing Is obtained in the city and taken to
the camp in the motor launch, Black
Arrow, which makes one and sometimes
two trips daily.
A basketball league has been estab-
lished. Tent No. leads the league
with five games won and one lost. Tent
No, 6 comes a close second with five won
and two lost.
Tomorrow will be visitors day. the
Black Arrow making trip at o'clock
and another at o'clock.

NEW CLUE GIVEN
POLICE IN HUNT
FOR GIRLS SLAYER
Neighbors Heard New York
Child Tortured and Know
Young Mans Name.

NEW YORK, July IA new clue in
the Bronx murder mystery surrounding
the death Of twelve-year- old Julia Con-
nors, whose mutilated body was found
In vacant lot last Sunday, caused a
reinforcement Of detectives to be
placed on the case today.
The police learned that the Connors
girl was taken to Clason Point last
AND ft hat @as ons past md e
night before they returned. Three fresh
detectives from the central office were
placed upon this clue, while the other
detectives and police working upon the
case continued along the old lines.
Commotion In Flat
Rose Psackis a stenographer, who
lives at 1859 Third avenue, near the va
cant lot where the Connors girls re-
mains were found. told the police that
she believed that a number of people
living in the tenement at 1868 Third ave-
nue., are concealing from the police the
fact that they heard a commotion in
the fat last Sunday morning, when the
girl was taken into It and tortured.
Detectives have established the fact
that the girl was stabbed and otherwise
rnistreated IN a vacant apartment of
this house before her dead body was Sc
creted in a vacant lot near by.
1T is common talk about the neigh
borhood that people living In the tene-
ment heard some one moving about in
the vacant apartment last Sunday
morning. said Miss Psackis today.
Clue Is Concealed.
Even the children know about 1t. I
cannot understand how the police over
looked the fact. 1t Is gossip, too. that
some Of the people know who the young
man is who was in the vacant apart
ment.'
The supposition is that because of the
lateness of the hour when she returned
home from Clason Point, which Is a
miniature Coney Island, the girl was
afraid to go home.

III L had resigned I should say So"
The commissioner Of corporations was

has not been strongly in sympathy with
the present Administra ton. With James
Garfield he was one Of the l90i-l9OS
cabinet most frequently in the public
eye. Since President Taft assumed the
office he has played a rather inconspic-
vous part. although those who are op-
posed to his political sympathies have
not charged that-he is not an efficient
