affairs. A meeting of the stockholders

person interested in the loan association.

CONN'S TIGERS
WILL MARCH In
BOOST PARADE

Bert Conn, manager Of the Trenton
Tigers. the team the Chicks will
play here on Boosters Day August
2S. has written the local committee
that he and his team will cooperate
in every way to make the days cele-
bration a success. From the tone of
Conns letter there seems 10 be doubt
in his mind that Wilmington as a
team is really superior tc his own
Tigers. Trenton supporters have
always imagined. 8 that the Jersey
Capitol team excelled the Chicks. and
that the only reason Trenton is not
leading is that things broke wrong.
Anyway, with the Tigers storing up
their fighting energy for the Booster
Day game, a worthy contest can be
expected. Conn has not announced
who will do the mound work for him,
but local fans can anticipate that he
will use his star twirler. Jackson
will reply in kind and send in the
pitcher best calculated to turn the
trick.
AS an Illustration Of the way Will

Booster Day project one banker yes
terday purchased a block OF ten tick
cts. He bought the t.Ckets notwith-
standing the fact that he will be out
of the city three weeks on his yaca-
ton and will be unable to see the
game himself The tickets will be
turned over to his Office force.

BRANDYWINE SUMMIT CAMP

Meeting. The majority OF the cottagcrs
left early this morning bag and bag
gage, and the 1913 season of the camp
meeting viii soon be but memory.
While most Of the cottagers leave to-
day. a number will remain until Sep
tember.
The camp meeting formally came to a
close last evening following upon day
of recreation and general relaxation. The
thermometer was at the highest point
since opening of the camp. The special
features OF the closing of camp were
marred by a terrific storm which came
about 745 o'clock in the evening. The
storm had been threatening an after
noon and broke with force the thunder
claps being heavy aud the flashes of
lightning vivid, for about one and one
half hours.
Previous to the storm the camp
grounds had been Illuminated for the
closing exercises and at no time during
the camp did they look more attractive.
On each rockery and flower mound on
the grounds had been distributed 500
little candles. st. Pauls avenue. always
noted for its decorations ON closing
night OF camp, again carried off the
honors.
Elmer Perry's tent was brilliantly
iighted, there being more than forty
large Japanese lanterns. Almost all the
other cottages also were decorated.
However, the fates were kind and
the rain ceased before the close of
the evening service. After the SER
vice, the majority of the persons old
and young formed in line for the
walk around"
Starting from the Tabernacle. the
long line of people, numbering sew
eral hundred, circled the camp
grounds, headed by cornerst Charles
Cleaver, chorister Amos Croweu
and number of the ministers. Many
of the old familiar hymns were sung
in chorus as they marched. When
st. Pauls avenue was reached. red
light were burned. After circling
the grounds several times the crowd
marched in line back TO the taber-
nacle, singing I'm the Sweet Bye and
Bye" where the Revs. Beauchamp,
Gallapher, Crowell, Latshaw, and
Wright, and Aubrey Vandever, stood
on the platform and shook hands
with each one in passing. All stood
while the doxology was sung.
A short intermission followed
Then, armed with dish pans. frying
pans and every other kind of a tin
pan. a small army started out
serenading. First the cottagers were
serenaded. then the minister's, be-
ginning with the Rev. T. +. Beau

sioner at Sunshine Meeting.
SIDD0NS ALSO,SPEAKS

| Unless they are satisfied to allow the
Juvenile Court to remain powerless to
| accomplish the important work incident
TO its jurisdiction. the people of Wash
ingtons must interest themselves in that
institution In order that the present
meager and wholly inadequate provisions
be remedied. was stated by Judge Lati-
mer in an address delivered before the
District Sunshine and Community Society
at a meeting at the Raleigh Hotel yes
terday.
"Enectsve work. by the Juvenile Court
has been made impossible by the made
quate provision made by Congress for the
conduct OF this court Judge Latimer
said. ''The community is to blame for
this because it has not realized the i'm
portance of f'the work OF the court nor Its
duty toward 1t.
Good Juvenile Court work means good
probation work. This has been hopeless
in the past because of the insufficient
force of probation officers. When took
charge of the court there were $50 chill
dren on probation and three probation
officers to look after them That made
the situation bad enough. but what made
II worse than hopeless was the fact that
these probation officers also had to make
investigation of the children brought into
court and to do all their own clerical
work.
Funds Not Sufficient.
In the National Capital. Judge Lati-
mer said. only one-third OF what is need
ed to meet the problem OF delinquent
children is provided. Judge Latimer has
asked for eight probation officers. A new
detention house and a better housing OF
the court, he says, is needed. Also, a
larger general fund is necessary.
Commissioner Frederick L. Siddons ad-
dressed the meeting upon the subject OF
Penal Servitude" and the Education OF
the Blind"
I'VE want to plan an institution" he
said, where the prisoners will be made
better men and women as well as pun
| ished for their offenses against society.
We want to make II possible for them
to be received naturally into society
| again upon the expiation Of their
faults"
Commissioner Siddons condemned the
old idea of solitary confinement in mar
row cells. In the new District institi-
tion. he stated, the moral. physical and
social welfare Of tine offending men and
women is TO be an equal care with that
of their punishment.
The Sunshine Society pledged its aid

G. L. Peckham, vice president, presided.
in place of the president. Mrs. Ella s.

Sabens was convicted of murder in the
