A Criminal or q Liar?

A man named Harris the other day
startled the New York police by an
nouncing, when arrested on a bad
check charge in Buffalo, that he was
one Of the gunmen hired to kill Ell
we'll, the whist expert and turfman,
nearly a year ago in New York city.
The story has been subjected to all
possible tests. He has made some mis-.
takes Of statement in respect to the
layout OF the Elwell premises and
twisted some other facts that have
been established In connection with
the crime. But in the main. in the judg-
ment of New York police representa-
tive who went to Buffalo after him,
Harris version Of the killing fits prac-
tically into the known circumstances
OF course, he may have read up on
the crime if he Is faker. and pro-
vided himself with a circumstantial
story OF the killing. His version is
that a woman unknown to them hired
him and his comrade to do" Elwell.
She promised him 5000. but they got
only about $500 apiece. Harris thinks
his partner double-crossed him and
got the whole sum for himself. The
partner. he AYERS. did the actual shoot
ing.
Just why a man should confess to a
crime Of which he is not accused Is
not clear. There are no signs OF un.
usual conscientiousness in this case.
The man was not a neurotic. He has

Canoes of Potomac Indians.

There are many seasons in Wash
ington and one of these is the canoe
season. That season is opening or is
about to open. OF course, some men
paddle their canoes all winter. as
some men carry on open-air or open
water bathing all winter. but there
are not many Of these fellows. 1t is
that the canoe season comes and that
these trim and shapely. light and
speedy craft glide upon our rivers.
And not only do our rivers know them,
but on the canal they are passing to
and fro from spring till fall. They
glory in gay colors. bright red. vivid
green and all that. How lndianesque
they seem," is what we often say as
they pass.
If spirits Of Potomac Indians float
above the river or lounge along
it's shore they must marvel at the
beauty. lightness and swiftness of
these boats. We never had any
thing like that" is probably what

Capt. Smith is bartering with Indians

therefore, are James River Indians.

Indians as those of the Rappahannock.

of Smiths boat is a canoe containing
three Indians and several bushels of
corn. 1t Is the real Indian canoe of
this region, for the makers of that
striking group made things according
to the best available informa ton. The
Indian canoe is neither light nor grace
full. 1t is not gayly colored. 1t is
tree trunk that has been followed
and rudely shaped by stone axes and
perhaps bone knives. Its color is that
of barked wood that has been long
exposed to weather and water-dark

Cabinet Changes.

There is sporting blood in this coun.
try. Chances are taken on nearly
everything. The latest gamble is on
the Harding cabinet-as to whether it
holds together for the four years, or,
if not, which member will be the first
to retire. Calculations are based on
the difficulties of the different depart
ments, and the temperaments of the
different men assigned to handle them
In the lingo Of the sporting world, you
lays down your money and you takes
your choice. You employ such knowl-
edge as you may have Of departmental
business, and of the patience of those
intrusted with it's transaction.
Only four Of the men with whom
Mr.. Wilson started remained with
him during his eight years in Office
Mr.. Daniels, Mr.. Burleson, Mr.. Hous-
ton and Mr.. w. B. Wilson. Mr.
Bryan, Mr.. McAdoo Mr.. Garrison and
Mr. Redfield passed out by resignation,
and Mr.. McReynolds by appointment
to the Supreme Court.
The earlier cabinets held together
fairly well. But IS time passed politics
became more strenuous, party factions
more exacting, and shifts necessary.
The Tyler cabinet-1S1-5-stan
out as the topliner in the matter of
changes. Under Mr.. Tyler four men
served in the State Department., four
in the Treasury Department, five in
the War Department. five in the Navy
Department. two in the Post Office
Department and three in the Depart
ment of Justice. Quite a collection of
statesmen.
Mr.. Tyler. it will be remembered,
succeeded William Henry Harrison,
who lived but a month after entering
the White House. A row between the
new President and his party-the whig
party - threw everything into con-
fusion. and paved the way for the
democrats at the next presidential
election.

The Peonage Murder Conviction.

Conviction of John S. Williams for
the murder Of one of the eleven
negroes whose dead bodies were found
on or near his farm in Georgia, on
which it is charged he practiced peon-
age, was based chiefly upon the testi-
mony OF colored helper on the farm,
who acknowledged participation in the
slayings. Rarely does such a result
occur in the south, where on the un-
supported testimony of negro a
white man can hardly be convicted.
But in this case there were other cir.
cumstances that weighed with the
jury. Still. the verdict is strange
one. The defendant was found guilty
Of murder, with recommendation to
mercy. and accordingly he was given
a sentence of life imprisonment instead
Of death. This remarkable finding is
believed to have been a compromise
between conviction in the first degree
and acauittal. The crime itself was
as atrocious as could be conceived.
The fact that the specific killing for
which Williams was tried was done by
Manning. the helper, at Williams
orders does not lessen the guilt OF the
principal. Still, for this murder he
will not suffer death as would his ac-
complice if he had not turned state
evidence and if he had been tried and
convicted.
Now will follow a series OF appeals.
The principal counsel for the defense
declares that he has lust begun to
fight" This means a long delay. The
hope is that before the legal procedure
is finished the state OF Georgia will
have cleared itself of reproach by put.

The Boy Scouts.

Two years ago there were in the
District Of Columbia forty-three troops
of Boy Scouts with a membership Of
Ss3. There are now 119 troops and
2,443 scouts. That is a big increase.
But yet the totals are not big enough.
There should be more troops and many
more scouts. Every boy in Washing
ton should. in fact. be scout, for
scouting" is the best of experience
and training for every boy. Individual
ly these troops are self-supporting
when once started. But there Is GER
tain amount of expense attached to
the District organization as a whole
that must be met. There are no other
sources of income but the small fees
paid by the boys themselves. part Of
which goes to the national and part
to the local organization, and the pub
lie subscriptions. Just now the sum OF
s10,0 is needed to make UP the diff
ference between the fees and the esti
mated cost of the years activities. The
kiwanis Club of Washington has un.
dertaken to raise the money. 1t is
passing the hat" before the people
Of Washington asking for contribu
tions to this splendid cause. The
drive" will continue until the 18th.
Whoever gives to the Boy Scout
fund is giving to the cause Of good
citizenship. He is making it possible
for the boys to have the best of train.
ing and to enjoy wholesome and help
full summer vacations. These vacation
trips Of the scouts are part Of the
course. The boys are not merely hav-
ing fun. They are learning. they are
combining health and pleasure and in
struction.
President Harding recently said:
IT am with the scout movement
heart and soul. 1t is an organization
teaching the spirit of service and
honor which we must always have in
our citizenship. 1t is a school Of de-
mocracy because in it standing is won
only by taking the equal opportunity
given all individuals to show their
own merit, capacity and worth. 1
wish every boy in our America could
have the advantage and the honor of
being in the Boy Scout organization
and Of learning therein that co-opera-
ton. justice, the customs OF fair play
and the gentleness of good manners
make for peace and growth as dis
tinguished from the results of disor-
ganization and selfishness and cow
ardice which lead to contentious and
conflict"
The way to make the organization
in Washington reach every boy is to
give it an adequate endowment. Who
ever gives to this fund is investing.
The welfare Of Washington depends
very largely upon the character and
good health Of the younger generation
Boy Scout work is foundation work,
and on it is built the citizenship Of the
future.
