DIRT COULDN'T HIDE.
Boy Scouts Inspected Kansas
City After Clean Up.
Five Hundred sharp-Eyed Lads,
Trained to Observe Sanitary Con.
dltions, Were Made Deputy In
speetors, and Reported All
Delinquents.

Kansas City has had $4,000 worth
of expert sanitary inspection free.
After the city had devoted two
weeks to a clean up; after the house
holders and the various clubs and or
CARNATIONS had ceased work, and after
the last tin can and microbe had been
presumably banished, then the Boy
Scouts went forth to look the job over
The clean up campaign started April
IL. The Boy Scouts made their in
spection April "a, thousand of them
giving one day to the work. Those
property owners and tenants who had
not properly brushed up their prem
ises, raked their back yards and taken
care of their alleys and Easements
were reported by the scouts to the
board of health, and the city sanitary
department will use sterner methods.
BY training the Boy Scouts are ex-
perts in sanitation. 1t is a scout law
that he must be clean. Also he is
sharp-eyed, for his scout activities call
into play the faculties of a frontiers
man. AS a spotter of microbes he
should excel.
Five hundred of the scouts who
were called into this service had prac-
teal sanitary experience last summer
in establishing a fiyless camp at Elk
Springs, Mo. True, it was outdoors,
and the floors of their tents were earth,
but a bit of paper out of place, a burnt
match carelessly thrown down, a scrap
of food that a scout had failed to burn,
drew the displeasure of the camps in
spectors. These scouts saw that their
own premises in Kansas City were a
shining example, and then they tried
to bring their neighbors to their idea
of spotlessness.
The services of the scouts were re-
quested both by Doctor Paquin, new
adviser of the health department. and
T. NJ. Finn, president of the hospital
and health board. They clothed the
scouts with the powers of a deputy
sanitary inspector. a. ]. Watson,
scout commissioner, accepted gladly
with the assurance that the work of
the scouts would be backed up by the
city's regular sanitary force.

partial report to Judge ]. G. Slate

the report. They were bills alleging
gambling by Jefferson City residents.
The report says that the jury fully
investigated the charges of lobbying
made by Representative Charles U.

There was no evidence of bribery in
this connection; the jury found no evil
dence that there were more lobbyists

its predecessors.
With reference to the gambling the

Bank Expansion Optional.

J. T. Mitchell, state bank commits
sioner, made the following statement
as to the effect of the new banking
laws on banks and trust companies
already organized:
Section &c of the new act defines
the rights and powers of banking cor
porations. When compared with the
old banking laws, we find several pro-
visions in the new law that are not
found in the old. If any bank now
doing business desires to exercise the
additional powers granted to banks
by the new act, it will be necessary
for them to amend their charters so as
to include those additional powers,
"Such charters can only be amended
by vote of the stockholders, as pruvid,
ed by sections IS and SO of the new
banking law. The same rule applies to
trust companies. Any bank now in
corporated may continue TO exercise
the powers it already has without be-
affected by the new law"

Railroads Intercepted.

RAILROADS Intercepted.
In series of interrogations ad-
dressed to various railroads and filed
before the public service commission,
w. S. McCaull, chairman of the rail-
road committee of the Producers
Shippers and Consumers League, in
Inmates that some of the roads which
are asking for increased rates, have
dissipated their funds by paying pri-
vate corporations managed by rela-
tives and friends of railroad officials,
more for ties, steel, coal, ETC., than
they could have bought them for from
other sources.
McCaull requests that the commits
sion transmit to each of the rail-
roads a list of his interrogatories, and
that the answers made by the roads
be filed with other exhibits in the
rate cases.
Shortly after the adjournment of
the legislature, McCaul filed an inter
vening petition, in opposition to the
increase with the public service COM
mission, in which he asked that body
to require the railroads to file an
itemized account of the expenses of
the persons here seeking the rate in
crease in the legislature, together with
the names of any so employed. He
| asked, further, for information about
the issuance of passes and about the
awarding Of tie contracts.
