BOY SCOUT FALLS
INTO LAKE; DIES
WHITEHEAD IN MUD

NEW YORK, July 9-An afternoon
Of woodcraft study yesterday had q
tragic ending when Thomas Thomp-
son, fourteen years old. one Of q
Brooklyn troop of Boy Scouts, camp
ed on the shore OF Glove Lake, Staten
Island, fell out Of q row boat and
was smothered to death in thick mud
on the bottom OF the lake.
With his younger brother George,
the Thompson boy accompanied the
troop from Brooklyn early in the day.
Late in the afternoon the Thomp-
son boys got q rowboat, and with the
younger boy at the oars managed to
navigate along the shore. Others Of
the troop on shore were startled to
see the older OF the brothers rise In
the boat, lose his balance and fall
over the side. George Thompson's
calls for help and the failure Of
Thomas body to reappears made 1t
clear that the scout had not 1eaped
into the water for q swim. 49,
Thirty Of the scouts aided In the
attempt at rescue. Boat hooks were
obtained, and for more than an hour
efforts were made to ind the body.
II finally was found with the head
ana shoulders buried in the mud.

PASTOR FLAYS RALPH
FOR BUREAU SITUATION
The Rev. A. E. Cook Draws h.
dictment Of Is Counts.

Responsibility for the overworkins
OF employees OF the Bureau OF Engrav-
ing and for the breaking down OF the
health OF workers there was laid ut
the door Of Joseph z. Ralph, director
by the Rev. A. E. Cook at last nights
services at the Capitol Heights Con-
gTegational Church.
The minister drew an indictment Of
thirteen counts against Director
Ralph and demanded the removal of
the latter II investigation substan-
tiated the charges.
DR.. Cook charged, among many
other things, that Director Ralph had
made the bureau IAN incubator for
tuberculosis, through his forcible ex-
haustion OF the vitality OF employees
through unnecessary overtime work"
The minister accused the director
OF having used bullying methods with
the employees and OF having demand
ed that they work on Sunday. He
also charged that Ralph speeded up
work and demanded overtime labor
when Il was not necessary.
Refusal to transfer employees OF the
bureau to other departments Of the
Government, declinRtion to train ap-
prentices at the Bureau: demands for
the resignation of employees unwilling
to work overtime, and failure TO give
contracts to private printing and en-
craving Arms 80 a. to tighten the bur-
dens at the Bureau, were included
among DR.. Cooks other charges.

CONGRESS NDOUBT
ADOUTFINAL ACTION
AS TO PROHIBITION

Although the Senate has disposed
temporarily Of the prohibition issue
by prohibiting manufacture OF dis
titled spirits and providing for Gov
eminent purchase Of liquors in bond,
Senate leaders still are in the air
over what will be the final action OF
Congress on this question.
For that reason they do not know
what to do with respect to the war tax
bill
The House has put through a bone
dry" provision, which includes wines
and beer as well as spirits. The
senate has prohibited distilled spirits
and has not Interfered with wines and
beer.
Outcome In Doubt.
Action of the two houses must be
adjusted in conference, and while 1t
is supposed the House will recede,
this is not entirely certain.
Until it is known how the two
houses will adjust these differences
the revenue bill cannot satisfactorily
be adjusted.
Looping off the manufacture OF dis
titled spirits in itself will deprive the
Government OF a large revenue. Pur-
chase of whiskey in bond, a quantity
estimated at POS, 900 900 gallons, will
cost a sum estimated from $3OO.OOO'OOO
upward, though II Is impossible TO
Ray now Just how much liquor will be
Withdrawn from bond before the law
takes effect.
Hunts for $40, 100000.
The Senate Finance Committee be
Ean wrestling with the problem OF
nnding 1920, ooO, 900 to meet the wal
revenue deficit caused by the Senate's
action. Complete redrafting Of the
SI,s7o, OOO, 900 war revenue bill may
be necessary.
The COMMITTEES had before It thest
three plans to meet the defcit:
Authorize a bond issue of 100000,
900.
Boost the income and excess profits
taxes still higher.
Place levies upon heretofore un
taxed articles and commodities.
1t Is likely that q combination Of
the last two plans will be adopted.
In addition TO the S42O.OOOOoO cur
rent revenue deficit, the Treasury De
partment must ind 5000, 100000 &c
pay Tor the Two hun0Ic0 Ouo AAAAAASAs
of gallons of whiskey now in bond
Want Early VOte.
Senate leaders were prepared &c
use every parliamentary expedient &c
force the food control bill, OF which
the "dry" provisions are a part, TO
vote before the end OF the week.
The President wanted the measure
passed by July 1. 1t has already been
under consideration three weeks.
Senator Chamberlain. IN charge OF
the measure, still had the cloture club
IN his hands today.
Hard fighting is promised over th'
section forbidding voluntary agents
of the Government, such as member.
