NEWS OF THE BOY SCOUTS


The good turn" of last Saturday
morning in aid of the Belgians was
successfully carried out to the satis-
faction of the committee in charge
of this work appointed by Gov. Mil
Ter. Seven thousand cards bearing
an appeal for aid for these starving
people were distributed by the scouts
of the city. Starting yesterday, the
scouts are taking part in a ten day
campaign to raise funds for this same
purpose. Each afternoon at four
o'clock. twenty uniformed scouts,
apportioned among the troops of the
city, start out prepared to receive
money from all those desiring to aid.
The boys will be on duty from 4 to
$50 p. m, excepting on Saturdays
when they will report at a. m. and
work in reliefs until p m Il has
been arranged so that IL will not fall
heavily upon any boy, and will give
practically every member of the
Troops volunteering for the service
an opportunity to take part in this
i splendid good turn" movement. VIII
/ mington scouts may feel proud that
at a time like this when there is need
of help. the governor of the state
turns to them. confident that they
will cheerfully render the assistance
called for. Troops 2. 3, 6. Z, Q, IL,
70, IA, 15, 16 and II have so far
signified their desire to take part in
this work. One or two scout masters
are absent from the city, but it is
quite certain that their Troops will
also fall into line. In addition to
the above, the members of two new
Troops at the Emmanuel p. 70. church
and the Central Presbyterian church
although they have. not as yet re-
ceived their charters. have shown
their true scouting spirit by volun-
teering for this service and have been
assigned TO the work. This generous
response is most gratifying to tho
governor and to the committee in
charge Of the relief work, Of which
Judge Marvel is chairman.
The team shoot will be held at the
range next Saturday afternoon.

SUFFRA6E-PRO AND CON
Pro.


 A great opportunity lies before the Democratic State Convention which assemblies today in Hartford. Scarcely any reasonable man or woman in the United States now doubts that within a very few years woman suffrage will be universal in the United States All ready women are voting on an equality with men in nine states and Alaska. In Illinois they may vote for president and for local officials; and in seven states the popular verdict is to be taken in November on the establishment of State Constitutional amendments guaranteeing the right to vote to the women. Connecticut is at the present time one of the most backward of even the eastern states on this question; for New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Iowa have all taken at least one step towards amending their constitutions. and by all appear ances the next step is almost certain to be taken in the coming legislative session.
 The Republican convention in New Haven last week listened with interest and attention to the pleas made by Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Associa- tion and Mrs. Carlos F. Stoddard of New Haven. But interest and atten- tion do not go far enough for the suffragists and the Republican platform appeared without a mention of woman suffrage and without even an endorse ment of the demand that the voters of Connecticut be permitted to pass on constitutional amendment
 The Republican party having thus missed the opportunity to make friends with the future voters, it now rests with the Democratic party to retrieve this error and to come out with n strong endorsement of the plea of the women.

SENECA READY FOR
ICEBERG PATROL
Revenue Cutter Will Garry
Scientists to Study Move
ments Of Shipping Menace.

The Revenue Cutter Service has or
dered into Northern waters two OF its
best equipped vessels. the Seneca and
Miami. for ice observation duty off
the Labrador coast and along the
Northern steamship lanes.
The Seneca now lies at Port Rich
,mond. Staten Island, in New York
harbor. undergoing a complete over
hauling and taking a supply OF pro-
visions. 1t will sail tomorrow to re-
main in the North for three months.
The Miami, now in Florida waters,
will put into New York next week
and follow the Seneca.
Determination of the course of the
ice bergs will be the primary duty of
these cutters. They will convoy" the
ice down to the transatlantic steam
stip routes and dispatch at 5 o'clock
each night from radio stations the
position of the danger ice masses.
The ice observation will continue until
about April 1. All this time the Seneca

for a few hours at Halifax at intervals
of ten days to three weeks, for supplies.
She will carry seventy-five officers and
men.
When the great foes have broken up
into icebergs and started to drift apart
toward the south. tho Seneca and the
Msml VIII Degln patrol along Inc
northern limit of the steamship lanes,
locking for drifting ice. Wireless warn
ings will reach every steamship within
900 miles. At half-past s a warning will
be sent out on a shorter wave, which
viii be picked up by smaller ships and
those closer to the patroIling cutters.
In this way it is expected that ocean
steamships, tramps and sailing vessels
will at all times have full knowledge
OF just what danger they may expect
from the kind Of ice which proved fatal
to the Titanic.
The Seneca will carry several sci
entists. who are to be taken on board
at Halifax. who will study the question
of the reported sudden change In tenn
perature and in the salinity of the
water in the neighborhood Of icebergs,
and the feasibility of breaking u, these
terrors Of the deep with heavy guns.
There also will be tests of apparatus
designed to indicate through echos the
presence Of icebergs.

UNDERWOOD TALKS
TOLLS WITH WILSON
Panama Canal Exemption
Clause Subject of White
House Conference.

Congressman Oscar W. Underwood
majority leader of the House, went to
the White House this morning to dis
Cuss with President Wilson the sug-
Sestcd repeal of the exemption of tolls
went at the invitation of the President.
II have made it an unvarying rule
said the House leaders, that when
come nero on a matter in which l am
PERSONALLY interested. to speak freely
about 1t. But when I come here at the
in which he Is interested. I must Let
him give out any news that is to be
had"
Mr.. Underwood has been opposed TO
the Presidents request for q repeal OF
the clause cxemptinF American coast
wise vessels from canal tolls. There was
nothing in his manner. when he left the
White House. to Indicate that he has
changed front. His friends are inclined
TO the belief that he might compromise
With the President on the subject, but
never give In entirely.
Tho President is believed to have laid
before the House leader the pressing
nature of Great Britain's insistence that
the exemption clause Is lit violation of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Views o House Leader.
Mr.. Underwood is thought to have pre-
scnted the view that the exemption
clause in no sense violates the treaty
obligations. Mr.. Underwood is thought
to have reminded the President that the
United States has never charged do
mestic commerce tolls for the use Of
any waterway improved at the expense
Of the Government and that to do this
wit hthe Panama Canal would be an in
novation.
Furthermore, the House leader Is be-
lieved to have pointed out. the Demo-
cratic platform indorsed the exemption
with an eye to the fact that were tolls
charged the coasters they would be i'm
mediately reflected in the freight rates
of the transcontinental railroads with
which the coasters compete.
Mr.. Underwood nevertheless, Is be-
lieved to have indicated a willingness
to amend the clause without repeating
il. and by inserting the word ''exclu-
sively' in the clause in describing coast
wise traffic. remove all doubt as to the
intention of the clause to benefit only
American coastwise vessels.
Mr.. Underwood is thought to have
suggested to the President the adv!s-
ability of a special message to Congress
which would clearly define the Presf-
dents argument for a repeal.
Congressman Kitchen Of North Caro-
lima also discussed the tolls question
with the President.
