Bow Scouts Demonstrate
First Aid to Injured

Practical knowledge OF first aid to
the iniurcd'' came handy to some OF
the thirty Boy Scouts of the Emery
School patrol who went out on a hike
Yesterday that took them nearly To
Great Falls. When the most distant
point in their trip had been reached a
game of hare and hounds was start
ed. The hills and bluffs on the Virginia
side of the Potomac were still iCe-coV-
cred in spots and a half dozen young
sters weer bruised and shaken up while
tumbling, skidding, and falling in the
chase. Their comrades quickly ban
dagLd their minor wounds. None of tho
boys was seriously injured.
The party of scouts left Washington
at 10 O'Clock Saturday morning. They
walked from the Emery School to
Georgetown, and then took the tow
I,ath, which they followed until l
o'clock, when they stopped for lunch
They then followed up the Potomac to
Chain Bridge. After the game of hare
and hounds" the party returned Ia
Georgetown, most of the boys resolute-
ly continuing their tramp to their
homes.
During these trips the boys are made
familiar with Boy Scout regulations
and are given practical tests in wood
craft, trailing, first aid, and other aC'
Complishments taught by the patrol
leaders and scout masters.

quarters, and of the serious nature Of
the charge against hinl-a verdict of
guilty means his dismissal from the
army-created much excitement at Fort
Myer today.
Some stir also was created among
War Department officials, and promi-
nent Hebrews eagerly sought for de-
tailed word of the situation. Few of
these last care to comment, as yet on
the story, because the chief friend
of Mr.. Bloom was out of the city. This
is Simon Wolf. He and Rabbi AbTam
Simon led in an appeal to President
Taft for Bloom at the time OF Colonel
Garrard's report.
War Department officials said this
morning the Bloom Court-martial mat
ter would not come before them and
that the regular routine in the matter
of preferring charges of ordering and
holding court unqueStionablY VIII be
followed in this case.
Officers of the army unanimously eX-
pressed regret today that the present
matter has come up just at this time.
The army is getting too much unfavor-
able publicity is their feeling. what
with the Ray case, the retirement OF
General Ainsworth the argument In
Congress over the Hay reorganization
bill, and the prospective Congressional
inquiry into the line and staff alter
cation, the army is suffering greatly"
say men who have it's interest at heart.

The resolution introduced in the House
yesterday by Congressman Cary of Wis

ought to be done. The resolution pro-
vides for the appointment of a special
committee which shall examine the
financial record of the association, and
ascertain the probable cost of taking
over the property.
The anti-fce campaign has brought
out the statement that there is a very
close Connection between the Mt. Vernon

REFUSES IMMUNITY
TO SCH|FF AND CANS
IN BRANDT SCANDAL
District Attorney Will Not
Give Capitalist Chance to
Go Before Grand Jury.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Forcible meas
ures may be taken by the district attor-
ney to get possession of the four letters
said to be held by Howard S. Cans,
counsel for Mortimer Schiff, whose one
time valet Foulke f. Brandt, is waiting
the result of hearing on a habeas
corpus writ of his thirty-year sentence
on a charge of burglary.
Three of the letters were found in
Brandts room following his arrest, and
the fourth was written by him after he
had been sentenced to prison.
According to informa ton obtained to-
day, there rs likelihood that the three
letters found in Brandts room will be
voluntarily turned over TO the district
attorney, but the enc written from pris-
on Is being withheld. 1t is said that an
offer Qf this letter has been made, but
with the condition that both Mr. Cans
and Mr.. Schiff be permitted to appear
before the grand jury, which would give
them immunity.
Offer Is Refused.
The district attorney has refused to
accept this offer and he was informed
that in order to get he letter he would
have to issue subpoena duCcs teCum.
This action, it was learned, would give
both Mr. Cans and Mr.. Schin the
right to appear before the grand jury.
Delaney NiCOll. who is acting as coun-
sci for Mr.. Cans and Mr.. Schn. has
advised his clients to give up the let
tors. Mr.. Whitman made plain tOdaJ i
that he intended to get the letters
even If he has to issue a writ of re-
pleVin.
Mr.. Cans and Mr.. SchiT will try to
get Il public hearing SO that they may
appear and tell their stories. but the
district attorney will make strong cf-
forts to prevent such action as would
be equivalent to securing immunity.
Will Ask Indictments.
Judge Richard Hand, Governors Dix :
special commissioner to Investigate the
Brandt case. has inforE'cd the dis
trlCt attorney t%at lie will not call be-
fore him rs witnesses any persons
whose knowledge of the case is believed
Ivy the .attCr to be of importance in the
conspiracy Investigation.
It was the intention OF tn" district
attorney TO appeal to the Shplc.n" court
| for an order preventing thC appearance"
| of MeSsrs Cans and SChift DcfOl" Judge
Iiand. but this step Will not h" H"ccs-
| Sdry now. This fact i" considered DG

| ttGt indictments for conspiracy win h"
| asked for on the ground that efforts
! were made to compel Brandt to S"rN"

BAKER CASE
IS FINISHED

The wardcn>hip hearing come to
l close last evening with the Gov
,rnor submitting hi testimony and
the Warden placed hi, before the
Board. During the past week ol
more the affair ha, attracted the at
tention OF the public from the fact
that Governor Oddc set forth i'll his
complaint that Warden Baker had
been cNtraNagaut and hi figures
were unreliable. The Governor pre-
,entcd a report OF conditions a fur
ni~hcd by Paul Ga>ton. an rNpcrt
accountant. The Warden on the
other hand furnished figures a, they
come from the prison books and his
prison clerk Mr. Griffith, lad a very
plain but understandable account /"
render. while the experts report was
highly complicated and therefore
confusing The result was that the
general public could make little from
his account and had to rely ON the
palmer statements a. furnished by
the Warden
From observation, taken and re
PORTED during the time the testimony
was mainly furnished by Warden
Baker. His testimony WAS all fav-
orablc TO his administration and
showed a great deal OF work had
been done out OF the usual in 4
warden capacity. The establishment
OF the road camp. gave him a double
duty. The many change, under tn,
law in prison conduct and uniform,
placed additional duties and expense
on the administration. while tn,
transfer OF prisoner, between the
camp and the prison and t" the larn
called for additional expenditures
The permanent and better repairs a
the prison were necessary and OF
dcred by the board.
All these facts have been laid bT
| fore the board. who will take 'h'
matter up a. soon "a the t0trS ar

Md national park
The above is OF more than passing
interest to the people OF Carson and
Nevada in general. Lake Tahoe
should be set aside as the property
OF the people and not for any other
purpose. 1t is regarded as the most
beautiful lake in America and by
making National Park Oi If would
put it under government control and
management 1t would be handled
as is the Yellowstone PARK and Yo-
semitic Valley. which is for the peO-
pie.
The government in such an event
would see that road, are made bet
ter, the destruction of timber ceased,
and would help stock the waters 1t
would be move in the right direc-
ton. The Nevada representatives in
the Senate and House should lend
every assistance in this matter.
Last year the Native Sons OF the
Golden West held a meeting at the
Lake. and they like others were
struck with the idea that it should be
forever reserved for the people by
making a National Park Of the lake
and shores. The bankers. who hold
their conventions at the Lake are
boosting along such lines and with
a little assistance from the Western
repre- eScntatives in Congress the affair
will go through. The section now is
pretty we'll guarded as most Of it has
been put in the forest reserve By
making National Park i will fur.
ther help along such lines 1t IS
hoped that the scheme will mater
ialize.
