There must be a different breed of
PRIMERS made here than elsewhere.
Il believe IL wild require something

cefved a telephone message from Ser

that Merriman was arrested. Merri-

Called For Report.
On Wednesday morning Assistant
Chief Pollock called IN Sergeant Ket-
lam and obtained from him a writ
ten report of the case SO far as 1t
had progressed. Assistant Chief Poll
lock then demanded. it is said, a writ
ten report from Capte in Mcmahon.
Captain McMahon wrote out his report
and Immediately handed ii in. 1t II
said to be the custom in the detective
department for the detectives to make
out their written reports only after
! the cases on which they are working
are completed or dismissed from
further attention. The Merriman
case, It is said, is not yet complete.

ried but four months. lis i'll in vir-
ginia hospital and has not yet been
arrested. Though Sergeant KeIIam
was ordered to make a written report
10 Assistant Chief Pollock no such
report has yet been made to Cap
tain Mcmahon.
Observers of conditions at police
headquarters say that the charges may
result in general shake-up OF tho
detective department.. as there is an
undercurrent OF ill-feeling, which is not
| wholly due to profession rivalry. II
I iy Thought likeiy THAT general in-@
vestigation into conditions, and into
the manner in which the department
/ is conducted will follow. and every
man in the office may be more or less
involved.

THOMPSON SETON
ON BOY SCOUTS
Great Naturalist Believes in
Making Real Men Out
of the Boys.

THOMPSON Seton. the chief scout Of
the boy scout movement of the United
States. spoke at the high school on
The Boy Scout Movement" Mr..
Seton went into detail in regard to
his work in some branches Of the boy
scout movement.
He told Of some ofthe pledges that
the boy scouts have to. agree to to
keep each day and the most prominent
one being the pledge that they will
do each day some kind deed.
He illustrated this one by several
different examples which were very
amusing. He went on to show by
statistics that the average American
boy leaves school at the age Of IA and
that 500 out of every 1000 boys make
wrecks Of their lives. He showed that
the boys who left school and went to
the cities to work. got into bad COM
pany and he showed that II the boys
would join the scout movement how
this could be overcome.
He told Of the healthful life that
each OF the scouts must necessarily
get. as the different bodies or orders Of
the scouts all go out camping. they
sleep out of doors all the time and are
required to eat proper meals and this
helps life n health of each member.
He spoke of different physical require.
ments of the scouts.
Mr.. Seton told how the sign Ian.
guage which is used by the Americans
unconsciously originated and was per-
fected by the Indian tribes. He then
told his audience about certain traits
regard to their habits. His lecture
a completed by his showing how
the boy scouts are taught to make fire
by friction Of two sticks.
