Business Rivals Are
Sought i'm Baff Murder

Alter an investigation lasting four
years the authorities believe they are
on the trail Of the influential business
rivals of Barnet Baff who contributed
TO The fund of $4,000. which paid for
having Baff SLAIN just outside his
poultry stand in West Washington
Market on November "a, 1914 Evi-
dence against the men highest up in
the commission of the crlme, it is be-
ileved, has been supplied by William
Simon, prosperous poultry man, who
was to nave gone to trial Yesterday,
charged with having been Implicated in
the murder of Baft. Instead of going
to trial, Simon turned states evidence
simon, who was in business at
6O6 Sixth Street, was indicted in
January, 1917, for completely in the
case. 1T was charged that he acted as
collector of the murder fund Subse-
quentlv the indictment was dismissed
by Judge Mulqueen in General Ses-
sions for lack of evidence. Simon was
rendlctcd in September of the same
year. When the case was called yes
terday it developed that Simon,
through his counsel, Samuel S. Koenig
and Martin w. Littleton, had reached
an agreement with Deputy Attorney
General Becker whereby the indicted
man was released on his own recog-
nizancc.
Neither Mr.. Becker nor counsel for
SIMON would talk about the nature Of
Slmon's statement, but it was init
mated that it would probably result
IN new grand jury investigation of
the Baff case, and that possibly a
score or Baff's business rivals would
be indicted for completely in the mur-
der.
1t was learned yesterday that sev-
eral detectives have been at work
checking up the vital parts Of Simon's
statement. Simon's counsel said the
statement was not confession. be-
cause Simon has not admitted any
connection with the crime.

SCOUT PROGRAM IN WAR.

Prof. Norman F. Richardson of Bos- ton university tells the Boy Scouts of America that the war iu European na- tions has resulted in q rapid increase of juvenile delinquency. Information that has been carefully secured goes to show that this increase in r of the larger cities and towns of Great Brit ain during one year averaged 34 per cent. The causes of this unfortunate condition are in many instances slmi- lar to forces that have already begun to operate in America. IL Is lmpera- tive that the American people take time by the forelock in this matter by setting in motion immediately in- tluences that will eounteract a number of injurious forces which will play upon the lives of our boys during the coming months and possibly years.
 A careful study of the causes of in- creased delinquency and of the suita- hility of the Boy Scout program 10 re- duce the harm coming from these in- iiuences presents n powerful argument for the immediate enlistment of thou sands of Americas best citizens as scoutmaSters.

 The boy scout movement only brings the boy in closer touch with the church. The government now wants men to go to the front and fight. Ii wants and needs good, clean, strong men.
