MILITARY MEN AND SCOUTS

The constitution of the Boy Scouts Of America rcHds as follows:
 "In carrying out thu purpose of the hey scout movement technical military training and drill shall uot b. iHelud- cd for the reason that they are not equal in value or IS suitable for boys of scout age, in training for good eiu- zeuship Us the program of scout ac- tiYitics"
 This reflects the attitude of the founder of the Boy Scout association of England as well as those Who haye promoted genuine scouting in the United States of America.

URGING ICE
PLANT. TO
AID POOR
Project to Start Harvest
for Immediate Relief
Up to Health
Board.

A plan is afoot among a half
dozen public spirited citizens of
Bridgeport to supply the city's
poor with ice during the COM
ing summer at the cost Of har-
vesting and its perfection
hinges on the decision of the
State Health Department, as to
whether the ponds proposed to
be harvested are contaminated
or otherwise unfit for ice har-
vesting.
Reports that such proposition
was in the works, have been circu-
lating for several days and the name
of Tax Collector Howard F. Smith
was mentioned as one of those con-
nected with it. When pressed for an
interview by The Times today Smith
admitted it to be the truth, but said
his part in the affair was only to get
it before the state health officials.
The men who will push the project
! will not allow their names to be made
public.
The names of the men to furnish
the capita are withheld, but will be
announced Immediately if the board S
| decision is favorable. These men plan
| to put their money into the PROPOSE
ton and will. providing the plan ma
terializes, sell the ice at figure suffi-
cient to return abe money advanced.
! They plan an economical method
of storage, which is similar to a plan
| in vogue. in Maine, where ice is
| stacked in the forests and covered
| by canvas and preserved with a salt
preparation.
Distribution points will be estab-
! lished and a sufficient quantity will
| be harvested to keep the needy fam
| lilies supplied during the entire sum-
mer season. The men interested have
| several ponds in view and it is their
| desire to start harvesting immedi-
ately as the water is now frozen to a
| thickness of 18 or 19 inches.
Collector Smith was reluctant to
discuss the proposition today, but
said: Don't get the mistaken idea
| that this is plan to buck the ice
| trust, for it's not. These men think
| the ice companies have their hands
| full supplying the wholesale buyers
! and it is simply a patriotic move ON
! their part to afford economic buying
| to the domestic users"

2 Arrested MEN
REPORTED HUN
terror AGENTS

At the request of the department Of
justice, Thomas Farrell, 221 Water
street and Chester E. Stephens, of 121
Brakeman place, Stratford, were held
by the police under bonds of $1,000
each until January 81. Both men are
said to be under suspicion as being
implicated in the recent widespread
Hun plot to terrorize the country with
a campaign of sabotage.
Chester E. Stephens was arrested
yesterday, it was said, because he had
overstayed his leave of absence from
the naval station at Newport, and had
made the railroad depot his home for
the past couple of weeks. He claimed
when apprehended that he did not
have~the money to return to Newport
and was ashamed to go home.
Now it is said that his motives had
a more sinister aspect and that he
was taken into custody by Federal
agents upon information that he was
implicated with others in. a plot the
extent of which is not fully exposed
as yet
Little can be learned of the man
Farrell, but it is intimated that he is
supposed to be a dangerous prisoner
and one of the many important cap
lures made within recent times by the
federal agents working in Bridge
port.

SEVENTY-EIGHT
MEN ENTOMBED
IN ALLAN SHAFT

Halifax, N. s., Jan. 24-Seventy
eight men, alive or dead, are entomb
ed in the Allan shaft near New Glas-
gov, where a terrific explosion occur
red late yesterday afternoon. Of the
SO men believed to have been in the
mine, only nine escaped from high
level. Eleven bodies have been re-
covered. Little hope is entertained
that any of the IS entombed men
will, be rescued alive.
The nine who We're rescued were
on the 500 foot level and did not hear
the explosion but, warned by smoke,
they ran for the cage. Joseph Lahey,
a Belgian boy who was found at the
bottom of the shaft, was kept alive by
a pulmotor but died after being
brought to the surface.
The violence of the explosion blew
the cage up the huge shaft and drove
mine timbers 200 feet long the levels
New Glasgow, n. s., Jan. 24.-It was
feared today that all the miners i'm
prisoned in the Allan shaft of the
Acadia Coal Co. near here, as a re-
suit of the explosion late yesterday,
had perished The dead, it is be-
lieved, will number 90.

QUESTION TAX
EXEMPTIO FOR
The HOME GUARD

Is a Home Guardsman exempted
from paying his personal tax? The
Military Emergency Board say he is
and the states attorney general says
he is not.
With these opinions confronting
him, Tax Collector Howard F. Smith
will not accept a personal tax pay
ment from any Home Guardsman un-
til he has received an official opinion
from City Attorney William H. Cons
ley.
Under the tax laws. any member
of a military organization is exempt
ed. The Military Emergency board
regards the Home Guard organiza-
ton as a military unit and has in
structed the company commanders to
inform the Home Guardsmen not to
pay the tax and further advises them
that if the collector tries to enforce
payment, the board will stand back
of the men.
In order to avert confusion Collector
Smith will not enforce Home Guards
men to pay the tax until City Attor-
ney Comley studies the matter and is
sues an official ruling.

PRESIDENT
Deceived
On WAR
Senator Cham
berlain, Replying to
Criticism By
Wilson.

Washington, Jan. 2l-Stand-
ing firmly by his charge that
Americas military establish
ment is enmeshed in inefficien-
cy, Senator Chamberlain of
Oregon, replied in the senate to-
day to President Wilson S de-
nunciation Of his recent New
York speech repeating the state
ment which drew the presi-
dents fire and declaring that
the president himself does not
know the truth.
Senator Chamberlain declared he
would show that the deaths of the
hundreds and thousands of men at
cantonments and camps were due to
the war department and that 'aI1 cpl
denies could have been prevented if
the war department had been effect
ive."
Senator Chamberlain said the Pres
ldent mad attacked both his veracity
and his integrity, heretofore unchal-
lenged, but that in replying he die so
without any personal feeling against
the President.
For "a years." Senator Chamber
lain said, 81 have served the. public in
my state to the best of my ability and
in all that time have never had nv
veracity called into question nor NV
integrity impeached. and I have pass
ed through some bitter campaigns,
| 1t is, therefore, with some feeling of
humiliation and of sadness that I rise
to question of personal privilege
| when my veracity has been called into
question, not by an ordinary citizen,
not by one of my colleagues, but by
very distinguished gentleman, who
has the love and admiration of the
| people and who by their suffrage oc-
cupies the highest place in the gift
of the people, and I may say, the
highest place of any man in the
world"
These personal charges against me
amount to nothing to the American
people, but affect policies which may
involve the future of this country, if
not the entire world,' he said.

TAX list Will
Be MORE Than
S2OO,OOO,OOO

A statement of the city's prelimin-
ary grand list will be filed with City
Auditor Keating tomorrow and it will
show grand total in excess of $780,
100000, an increase of more than
100000 over the last grand list.
The official figure could not be OBJ
tanned at press hour. but a member
of the tax commissioners force ad-
mitted it would exceed the above CIV
en- total.
The grand list of 1915 was $751;
5O4 4,459, rising from s139.099,S31, the
total of the 1915 list. The Bridge
port grand list will exceed its nearest
competitor, New Haven, by nearly
one-half million dollars.
Only by wholesale slashing of the
municipal acquisitions will the Board
of Apportionment be able to keep the
taxation rate within distance of the
% mill mark, despite the enormously
increased grand list.

CANDY is
POISONED
Impurities" Discovered in

Canteens,

Washington, Jan. 24-Discovery
of impurities" in candy supplied
to canteens of navy ships caused
the issue today of an order SIS
ending the sale of candy to the
men and the purchase of addi-
tionaI supplies pending investiga-
ton.
Navy department officials were
careful not to say what the ''im-
purities'' were, but the announce
ment of the order Immediately
caused a recurrence of the report
that powdered glass had been dis
covered. There was no confiT1na-
ton for this, however, and no
case of sickness from eating the
candy has been reported.
So far as is known this is abe
first official action of its kind on
a great crop of reports of food
poisoning by enemy plotters which
have ranged from breakfast
foods to canned goods and now
finally to candy.
