MAD ANARCHIST CAUGHT.
Police Near Lyon, France, Have an
Exciting Battle.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS. June 2O.-An exciting arrest
was made near Lyon Of dangerous
mailman named Pechouse. Pechouse, who
has been reported to the police as an
anarchist, did not yield without fierce
struggle, in the course of which he at
tempted to use knife and an automatic
revolver. Stripped and searched. he was
found to have several bombs concealed
about him. One of them, and the most
dangerous, was an intricate affair. The
bomb was held in place in the small Of
his back by wires which were connected
with an electric switch on his chest. The
police exploded this bomb in a piece OF
waste ground near the town. 1t proved
a most formidable machine, which, had
1t burst among a crowd, would have
blown, not only its wearer, but his imme-
date neighbors. to pieces.
Pechouse's lodgings proved to be veri-
table bomb factory. Among other infer
nal machines found there was travel
ing bag, filled in such a way as to ex-
plode when opened. Fortunately for the
police. it lacked the finishing touches at
the time of their examinations. Pechouse
appears to be a bomb maniac. In 1910
he was convicted of having placed in
the streets of Lyon a parcel which ex-
ploded, doing considerable material dam
age.

BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT
is STARTED IN TURKEY
Part Of Farseeing Plan Looking To-
ward the Regeneration
of Su1tan's Land.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
CoNSTANT1NOPLE June 18th.
Boy Scout movement has been initiated
here with the swearing in of the troop
leaders before Enver Pasha, who, it is
understood. is to be made the bashbogh,
or chief scout. of Turkey.
The movement is part Of a farseeing
plan to rejuvenate Turkey. On the
patriotic side, the members. with the
support of the young Turks. will try to
purge the language of foreign words
which have corrupted the Turkish of the
border into more or less of a jargon. On
the military and civic side, the govern
ment hopes not only to pepularize army
service among the educated classes, but
to develop initiative and f1eHbility among
the people. SO as to compete more favor
ably with western peoples.
It Is significant that in the oath taken
by the boys the Arabic word for God,
Allah has yielded to the Turkish
"Tengri." All names used in the organi-
cation, such as 'izdjis'' for scouts" and
.'oimakbegs'' for leaders," are pure
Turkish. The word for leader in official
use has heretofore been hey"
The young Turks and many Of the
older men, believe that the country'S de-
cline has been largely due to Persian and
Byzantine influences. They hope to
teach the youth to remember the racial
origin of the people who once came near
subduing Eprope.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, June 19-Princess Mary,
daughter Of the king and queen, has
seriously taken up the game Of lawn
tennis. and is receiving lessons from
Mrs. Lambert Chambers, the present
lady champion. The game is now one
Of the most popular in the British
Isles. having been given an immense
impetus from the championship
matches played last year. when the
Americans won the Davis cup, and Nc
Loughlin made such a spectacular
fight for the British championship.
During the winter and spring new
courts have been laid down all over
the country. and the game is played
at all the big house parties, while
innumerable clubs have been organ
lied. All the parks, too. now have their
tennis courts, and II not Immediately.
at any rate In the near future Eng

to replace the veterans. who have to

Other members Of the royal family

George plays fairly well on the courts
at Buckingham Palace and Windsor
Castle. and is a frequent spectator at
tournaments.

SALVATIONISTs THOUGHT
PAGE NOT PATRIOTIC
Clerk in American Embassy at Lon
don Explains Why "old Glory"
Was Not Unfurled.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON. June 19.-The American am
bassador, DR.. Walter Hines Page, came
near to being charged with lack of pa
triotism by the 700 American Salvation
Army delegates on their official visit to
him, but the misunderstanding was
cleared by one of the embassy clerks.
The Salvationists made an American
patriotic display on this occasion as has
been rarely seen in London. Bands
played American patriotic tunes, the
American colors alternated with the Sal
walton Army banners. and each of the
paraders waved a small American flag
as they marched through Victoria street
past the window at which stood DR.. Page.
The chief officers then paid formal call
| on his excellency. But in the matter of
bunting, the embassy might as well have
been one of the big shops alongside.
Where is the American fiag?" asked
one of the officers in a grieved tone OF
one of the clerks. "Our parade was simply
ablaze with old Glory and there isn't a
single flag displayed at the embassy to
| welcome US. II doesn't look patriotic
| The clerk explained that the flag of the
| embassy has purely ceremonial duties tc
| perform rather than patriotic or orna-
mental, and is displayed only on instruc-
tons from the State Department at
| Washington.
| This explanation was passed around
| and seemed to satisfy the patriotic scru-
pies of the visitors.
| On account of the comparatively small
quarters American diplomats without
| large private means necessarily maintain
| in foreign countries DR.. Page was un-
able to invite the Salvationists to his
home. and the embassy itself is likewise
cramped reception in the street would
have lacked dignity. SO the delegates felt
disappointment in not being able tc
shake hands with him. They had been
| rather spoiled on their way over. they
said by Col. Roosevelt. who had frater-
nized with them, stood in snapshot groups
and answered to the familiar titles OF
Colonel and Teddy"
| The American Salvationists who have
been visiting London In parties speak
highly of their courteous treatment by
the people.

Germany Developing Canals.

Germany proceeds steadily with canal
development. The Rhein-Weser canal will
be completed in few months, and in
about years time the city of Han
over will be connected with the Weser.
The great ship canal from Berlin to the
Oder has just been finished, and a prof.
ect to be realized at an early date is the
Leipzig-Saale canal which will make the
City Of Books" a seaport
The Berlin-Oder canal is a noteworthy
engineering feat. 1t is sixty miles long
and has cost s1o,ooOooo. 1t connects
the capital with the greatest Prussian
port. Berlin and the Oder have been
united by the F1now canal. but that
waterway, with its old-fashioned locks
and narrowness, is out of date. The new
canal will carry cargo vessels Of 600
tons. It has only eight locks. and these
are Of the most modern construction.
Four large locks at a point near to
where the canal joins the Oder raise or
lower vessels 100 feet in seventy-two
minutes, and the entire time taken up
at the locks on the whole canal is about
an hour and half as against ten hours
on the old FfnoY canal At one point
the canal is carried on a bridge nearly
100 feet high.

Statutes Now Exclude Trust
Companies From Federal
Reserve Membership.
NOMINEES FOR DIRECTORS
SOON WILL BE NAMED
Lists to Be Mailed to Electors of
All Member Banks for Cast
ing of Ballots.

Fifty state banks and trust companies
all told have qualified for membership
in federal reserve banks. as. against
1900 national banks.
This small number of state institutions
in the new federal banking plan is due
chiefly to state laws forbidding state
tons. There are only twenty states in
which the Treasury Department officials
are absolutely certain it is possible for
state banking institutions to become
members of the new federal reserve
banks without some modification of the
laws. These states are Vermont, New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland.
Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ten
nessee. Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, South
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas.
Texas, Arizona, California and Oregon.
Two of these states. Kentucky and
South Carolina, passed enabling acts
since the passage of the federal reserve
act which make it possible for their
state banks and trust companies to en-
ter the federal reserve bank system. In
New Mexico and Montana it is possible
for trust companies, but not for state
banks to become member banks of fed
eral reserve banks.
State Laws to Be Changed.
The information of the reserve bank
organiza ton committee is based largely
on letters written by state officials in
reply to inquiries concerning their state
laws and the necessity for amendment OF
situations may participate in the new sys-
tenn Without exception the state Off
Gals give assurance steps would be TAX
EN- to make changes in state laws which
will enable state banks to join the federal
reserve banks if they SO desire How
ever in many states the legislatures do
not convene until 1915.
No effort has been made by the reserve
bank organization committee to induce
state organizations to participate in the
new federal reserve banks. National
banks oversubscribed the stock of the
reserve banks and it was not necessary
to solicit the participation OF state banks.
However, there were state institutions
which were anxious to be among the
original members of the new reserve
banks and all such were welcomed In
case they met the requirements of the
federal reserve act.
The reserve bank organization commit
tee early next month will mail to the
electors of all member banks a complete
list of the nominees for directors in their
various districts. Each elector will be
allowed fifteen days after the receipt OF
this list before he casts his ballot for di-
rectors. The member banks elect six
directors, three of class A and three OF
class B. The federal reserve board will
name three directors for each of the fed
eral reserve banks.
