boy SCOUTS CAMP
FOR ST. SIMON
ARRANGEMENT WILL PROB.
ABLY BE MADE AFTER THE
STATE ENCAMPMENT.

The boy scout movement is grow
ing so rapidly and has taken such a
hold upon the country that encamp-
ments are being arranged for the
scouts following the custom of the
national guard.
While those who have the arrange
ments in hand are not ready to
make definite announcements, it is
highly probable that number OF the
boy scout organizations from the in
terror towns of Georgia will camp on
St Simon during the summer.
1t is an ideal place for such pur-
pose--lanned by the breezes from
the Atlantic, ii is one of natures
beauty spots and u few weeks there
with the regular routine of the camp
would give the youngsters new life
and ambition. 1t is to DE hoped that
arrangements will be concluded Civ
ing the boys, especially from the in
3tefior towns, this rare treat, as well
as the benefits to be derived from the

STATISTICS ON ACCIDENTS
AT GRADE CROSSINGS
A Large Proportion Of Deaths Due to
People Trespassing.

Atlanta, June 14.-In connection
with the proposed effort to have
grade crossings abolished by the
Georgia legislature, it Is interesting
to note tina the railroads have com
piled careful statistics to show that
while people do occasionally get kill
ed on grade crossings, much great
er proportion OF the deaths are due
70 the trespassing OF outsiders upon
the track where there is no crossing
at all. and that strictly enforced
law to keep people from trespassing
on railroad tracks would save many
lives annually.
"Vigorouus measures must be TAX
en- in some way to make the people
understand that railroad tracks can
not be used as footwalks with impu-
nifty" said prominent local official
discussing the situation here today.
1t is shown that in the past five
years 4,361 persons were killed at
highway crossings in this country
while throughout the nation in the
same time 1851 persons we're killed
at other points along the tracks. Ol
the persons killed at highway choss
ings more than ! 900 were trespass

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THAT
NUMBER REQUESTED AT
CELEBRATION.
THE BLUE AND THE GRAY
To Provide Against Famine Amono
the Veterans Arrangements Have
Been Made for All Supplies Be-
fore They Arrive.

Philadelphia. June Forty-five
thousand veterans of the civil war
wearers of both the blue and tn,
gray, have asked the Gettysburg an.
nlversary commission to provide ac.
jommodations for them during the
celebration of the 50th anniversary OF
he famous battle next month.
These figures were given out yes.
erday at Harrisburg by DR.. Samue
:. Dixon, of the state department OF
.iealth, as a final estimate.
Under the most favorable condi.
ions there would be many cases OF
illness among these old soldiers dur.
ng the encampment, DR.. Dixon esti-
mated. But much greater numbel
t is believed, will suffer because O..
the heat, the excitement and tn,
strain of travel. Among other pro
|isions for caring for the sick, ar
.angemen.s have been made Will
hospitals in cities within radius
% miles, to receive cases from the
emergency hospital to be installed or
the field. Harrisburg, Lancaster, Yori
Chambersburg, and Hagerstown. Nd.
will give aid.
An estimate of the accommodation
which Gettysburg's 5000 inhabitants
IAN offer to the crowds of visitors in
dicates that $4,000 at most can be Civ
en- sleeping quarters. Food, perhaps
will be available for more, but Tho
pressure of passenger train service
probably will limit the amount oil
food which can be brought into the
town. To provide against famine
commission has arranged that all sup
plies for them be brought in before
they arrive.

WEBER OF BECKER
CASE IS STABBED
GAMBLER WITNESS TRIES TO
KEEP IDENTITY DARK WHEN
WOUNDED.

New York, June IL Bridgie"
Webber, one OF the four gamblers
who testified against Poliece Lieut.
Becker and the gunmen convicted of
the murder of Herman Rosenthal,
another gambler, was stabbed in the
shoulder early this morning under
circumstances which he seemed
loathe to explain.
He was in the st. Vincent hospital
today suffering some pain and weak
from the loss of blood, but his wound
will have no serious result unless
blood poisoning sets in. Although
branded by some of his former asso-
eiates in the under world as "squeal-
err in the Rosenthal case, the little
informer" closed up tight when de-
tectives tried to pry from him at the
hospital this morning the story Of
the attack upon him.
At first Webber tried to hide even
his own identity and the fact that
he had been wounded. The ;stabbing
occurred on East Eighth street.
