GET YOUR MONEYS WORTH.

Surprising that you had some work
to perform with which you were un
familiar as to its detail and manner

tc do it? That is the way the sue.

handled.

ways employs the most experienced
labor possible. for in their line they
are fine business men. and they hang

first questions that will be put to You

you know your business? If you do

MOTION PICTURES SHOW
LIFE Of THE BOY SCOUTS
Special Performance Attracts
Throng to the Cosmos
Theater This Morning.

Boy Scouts in regulation uniform, some
of them bringing their little sisters and
some their parents. swarmed about the
entrance of the Cosmos Theater this
morning long before IL O'clock the time
for the benefit performance given for the
Ditrict Boy Scouts through the courtesy
of the mana cement.
The Boy Scout was "u" every minute
Of the performance Everything was done
to convince him that it was his per-
Torrance. When he entered the gates
a pretty miss in uniform showed him to a
seat, while A. ]. Brylawski, manager Of
the theater, halted him just long enough
to pin tiny American flag on his coat
No one was permitted to enter the thea
ter unless he could show an American
flag.
Reels showing the life of the real, live
Boy Scout were shown, and a short
vaudeville performance was given. The
theater resounded with cheers and vigor-
Gus hand-clapping of the boys.
Edwin Keller, the Mississippi whistler,
delighted the boys with numerous bird
calls. Every scout patrol has a bird call
by which it is known. and keller's whis-
Ting was as helpful to the boys as it was
amusing. Fred Grogan, the blind pianist,
and Miss Charlse. harpist, played, and the
Miranda quartet sang.
Then for the real fun, for the Boy
Scouts have their own ideas of their life
and it was correctly presented in the pic
lures. '.Wig-wag'' was the first reel,
showing delicate little moliycoddle who
fell into the Boy Scout ranks, and was
made a manly little fellow. The camp
life at Ernest Thompson Seton's Camp, as
depicted by the pictures, was realistically
pictured
There were other scenes and other reels
showing how the scouts live and work
and play. When the reel was displayed
showing Gen Baden-Powells recent visit
to Washington and the parade of the Boy
Scouts the boys rose to their feet and
cheered
Arthur c. Moses, president of the Dis
trict scouts, and Director Martin were
present.

STEAMSHIP COMPANIES
NAMED IN FEDERAL SUIT
Said to Have Acquired Monop-
oily Of Freight Traffic
by Suez Canal.

NEW YORK, March 3o.-The United
States government has prepared papers
in suit to be filed for the dissolution Of
certain steamship companies engaged in
traffic between New York and the far
east by way Of the Suez canal.
The papers charge the companies with
pooling freight rates and rebating TO con-
Germs that ship exclusively by their lines.
The papers in the suit are in the hands
of United States District Attorney Wise,
who said this afternoon that the suit
would not be entered until next week.
1t was understood that the suit would
be filed today, but at the eleventh hour it
was decided to postpone the filing.
Result of Investigation.
The announcement from New York that
the government will file an antitrust suit
against several of the big steamship COM
panies transporting freight between the
Atlantic coast of the United States to
the far east by the Suez canal comes as
the result of comprehensive investiga-
ton into the general steamship conditions
Alleged pools and agreements covering
other phases of American ocean trade are
being investigated.
The papers prepared for filing allege
ehoe SO'CId1 ui6 SlednSnlp companies
have acquired a complete monopoly of
the transportation of freight between
the United States and the far east by
water.
The action will be brought under the
Sherman antitrust law and will set
forth that by means of agreements,
pools and conferences, freight trade
between the United States and the
Philippines China, Japan and other
countries of the far east has been
mOnopoliZed.
An unlawful combination and conspir-
acy will be alleged through two agree
ments, one cornering the eastward traffic
and the other the westward.
Both the eastward and westward agree
ments, it will be alleged, divide the traf
fc among the defendant companies; that
under the eastward agreement the lines
do not compete at all for government
contracts and the profits are divided and
that deferred rebate system is main
tanned under the westward agreement
Pools are said to exist under both agree
ments into which the earnings of the
steamship lines are placed after the de-
duction of certain expenses.

DR.. THIRKIELD IS DOOMED.
Methodist Episcopal Conference
Nav Elevate Him to Bishopric.

Rev. DR.. W. p Thirkield, president of
Howard University. is to be doomed
for the bishopric at the general con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. to be held in Minneapolis May
/. Already clergy and laity Of the
denomination in all parts Of the country
have had DR.. Thirkield's name brought
to their attention by his friends, and
according to the prevailing opinion, he
will be named as one of the six or more
bishops to be chosen at the conference.
The feeling that DR.. Thirkield should
be elevated to the bishopric is especi-
ally strong in the Cincinnati conference,
and it is understood that the entire
delegation of Ohio representatives will
be the strong supporters of the local
clergyman when his name is presented
to the conference. DR.. Thirkield also
is popular in the Baltimore conference.
