HOW SCOUTING AIDS PARENTS

Here are two sample remarks made
by a Boy Scout and by his father. each
without the knowledge of the other,
after father and son hike. The
scout said:
II never knew what a darned good
fellow my father was till he came here
and camped with me. He always
seemed like a stern man, whose big
idea was to punish me when l was not
good. and then I did not want to be
good. But now he has been here, and
we have been fishing together. and he
has shown me lot of interesting
things that l never knew before, and
that never would suppose he knew.
Now all of q sudden he seems like n
chum of mine. I hope he'll keep right
on coming up"
Within an hour the father Of the
same boy had said: "Pve just realized
my hoy for the first time. Say. he
isn't a baby any more, and I've been
handling him like one. I'm going to
change my tactics and keep on know
ing him better"
On these hikes the boy entertains
his father at the camp and at the
other doings. lie prepares the ten
for him, sharing his own, which at
other may share but his father.

In addition, the government has been

Louisville, KY, April 27.-It cost

question" in Police Court yesterday.
1t was during the trial of his client,
William j. James, accused of shoot
ing to death Robert Lowe, colored
driver who ran over James son. The
courtroom was filled with negroes.
Brent Ovestreet and Samuel Ander-
son had been employed by negro or
CARNATIONS to prosecute James.
The State announced it was ready
for. trial, but Mr.. Higgins sought a
continuance because Richard l.
James, the defendants brother, is out
of the city. When Mr.. .Overstreet
objected, Mr.. Higgins accused the
former of "grandstanding" before
the negroes who had employed him.
'If. this had been a negro who
killed a white man or another negro
continuance would be granted" re
torted Mr.. Higgins.

Coiored Suspect Nearly Lynched
Luoien jenkins, colored, narrowly
escaped lynching following the dying
statement of the Trimble lad that a
colored man committed the crime
jenkins is now in the Lexington jail
for safe-keeping, for although he has
been eYonerated by the murderer,
authorities fear for his safety.
Murderer ModiGes Confession.
After Phillips had broken down and
assumed complete responsibility for
the death of Trimble, it is claimed
that certain influence was brought to
bear upon him which resulted in the
modification of his confession to the
effect that he had been paid five dol
lars by Lucicn Jenkins, the colored
suspect, to commit the murder
This modification seemed plausible
enough to relieve Phillips of the onus
of the crime, by reason of the dying
statement of the murdered boy.
Phillips took the police to his home
and showed them the blood-stained
hammer with which he committed the
murder.

Louise had been sent to the gro

Grove Ave. by her mother. While
returning along Cottage Grove Ave.
she was seized in front of house at

She was gagged and beaten in the

and Cottage Grove Ave. for examna-
ton. The chief surgeon after ex-
animation gave her certificate to
the effect that she had been violent
ly used. The matter was at once re-
ported to the police department who
assigned detectives to the case.
Accosted Again Next Day BY Same
Assailant.
The next day, Louise while play
ing in front of her home was accos-
ted by white man whom she recog-
nized and identified as her assailant
of the night before.
The man was George Blum, white
teamster of 750 f. 46th st.
Blum had seen her talking to two
detectives, and had again threatened
her life in case she exposed his das-
tardly deed.
Mrs. Smith, the mother, from her
apartment on the 4th floor saw the
man talking to Louise, and called to
ask who he was. At this juncture
Blum sped across the street and con-
cealed himself behind coal wagon
there.
Blum Put Under Arrest.
Learning the identity of the i'm
dividual from Mrs. Smith and Louise,
the detectives put Blum under ar
rest.
AT the preliminary examination be-
fore Judge Fry in the Stockyards
Court, Blum made sweeping denial
of the charge, and all attendant cir
cumstances.
Louise positively identified Blum
as her assailant, and as the man who
accosted her the next day. Blum
denied this.
Mrs. Smith positively identified
Blum as the man seen talking to her
daughter in front of the house. Blum
denied this also.
The two detectives testified that
Blum was hiding behind a wagon
when arrested. Blum denied this in
addition.

sharply eonflicted with the testimony
of the other witnesses.
In holding Blum to the Grand Jury
Judge Fry commented upon the
seriosness of the charge, and pointed
out that the character of the testi-
mony offered by the witnesses and
by Blum himself was such as to raise
doubt in his mind as to its sincerity,
while on the other hand, the testimo-
ny of Louise, Mrs. Smith aad the
two detectives left him in no doubt
as to the probability of its truth.
Blum's bond was set at $2500,
which was signed promptly by his
father.
