Mission OF Boy Scouts
Explained BY Leader
Colin H. Livingstone, Presi-
dent of National 0rganiza-
ton Writes Of that Body
BY COLIN H. LIVINGSTONE
President, Boy Scouts of America

-.'scouting''-old words
bursting and bristling with new
meanings to every boy in all civilized
lands.
lie plans to be Scout" for he
longs to be a real red -blooded, brave,
clean, wide-awake, snappy boy, full
of pep, knowledge and do"
He wants to cut his way to USE
full, forceful and resourceful man
hood by new alluring paths and ex-
periences that give him a great and
broad vision of his to-day"
He builds in his mind and plans a
future--his tomorrow" He will be
the master mechanic of successful
life of service.
The oath, the laws. the program
of scouting are fitted psychologically
into the needs of the boys unfolding
mind and growing body.
Playing the game of boyhood with
all the zest of his nature, he is be-
ing led almost unconsciously into
manhood, equipped with power OF
resistance against wrong thinking,
wrong actions, wrong pleasures and
evil associations.
His better self is freed for a sue
cessful career of helpfulness and
leadership among his fellows.
"Once Scout always a Scout is
the inherent slogan of this vast army
of potential citizens of a greater
civilization and mightier nation
than we ever dreamed of.
Other countries-a score and a
half of them-are training their boy
hood under this same fascinating
program.
To them. it is universal league
of boyhood and the brotherhood OF
man, religiously obeying the laws OF
the eternal God. to whom every Boy
Scout in deepest reverence bows his
head.

Chief Niels J. Tonnesen or The
local force was questioned this mora
Ing as to lis knowledee OF any
policemen having been indicted. He
said he had received no official IN
formation of the latest status Il the
case from New Brunswick but was
awaiting developments. It is be-
lieved that If any officer is Indicted
on the graft charge he will be at
once suspended from the forcs.
Patrolmen Louis Hansen and
Lawrence Marmon are the two To-
cal police officers who were Charged
by Langfeld originally with ashak-
ing him down for $236 Accotsir
ing to the South River hooflegsef 1
first story he came to thi7~cllx-5
his automobile on the Tight uf a y
vember 8. carrying in it fhres cases
of liquor. he said he was met 1t
the corner of Oak and Faveffe
streets by Hansen and Maruou "a
1880 O'Clock ami the officers de-
manded S300 from him on the
threat that they would arrest him ii
he failed 10 give them this amount.
Langfeld. in his statement. said
he told the officers he had only SI50
with him Hhereupon the policemen
told him to take the three cases oi
liquor into the saloon of Henry
Roth, on the corner Of Oak and
Fayette streets, and sell il Thi
the bootlegger said he did, receiving
$46 a case. Langfeld told the coun-
ty authorities he then was iHstruct-
ed by the police to turn over the
s13S he received for the sale of the
booze and also the $3.50. making a
total of $2ss.
After the South River man de-
cided to report the occurrence to-
the county detectives. those inter-
/ ested in the case apparently In
fiuenced Langfeld to change his
story. 1t was reported by the au-
thorities that Langfeld's $2SS was
returned to him and other offers
were made to him by those connect-
ed with the case if he failed to
prosecute. Langfeld then changed
his story. declaring that he could
not positively say that Hansen and
Marmon were the officers. He also
said the cases contained non-iutoxi-
eating wine cordial
Langfelds s denial of the truth or
his original statement then resulted
in his being arrested on charge
of transporting liquor. He at first
pleaded not guilty but later changed
his plea to guilty This change in
plea was made the authorities say
so that the case might not be tried
and others brought into It. When
he appeared. before the grand jury
yesterday 1t is believed LangfeId
realized that his second story would
not stand up under the greaf
amount of evidence secured by The
county detectives and he is thought
TO have told his original story with
the result that two or more indlct-
ments were at once handed down.

berry Not Motive

NEW YORK, Feb. e-The mys-
terry of the murder of Louise Lawson
mannaquin and actress, in her fash
ionable 77th street apartment yes
terday became deeper today when
detectives found part of her jewels
in a shop where she had left them
to be prerared, the discovery tend
ed to dissipate the police theory Of
a robbery motive.
Miss Lawson, a towel stuffed in
her mouth, her hands and feet tight
ly bound, was found dead by her
negro maid. Police found the apart
ment in disorder and the young
woman s jewel box empty. This ev-

Los ANGELES, Feb. s.-Legal
effort to test the validity of a 30
year lease given by the Board of
Harbor Commissioners to E. L. Do
henys Pan-American Company on
municipality owned land in the har-
bor district there was urged in a
iiiessa pe sent to the City Council
late yesterday by Mayor George g..
lryer.
Attorneys have contended that Ihc
i1arbor board is expressly prohibited
by. the city charter and ordinances
from leasing for private use any por-
tertront property of which 1,200
front feet were leased to Doheny on
June %. 1928.
Calling attention to these opinions
and indirectly to personal attacks
made on members of the harbor
commission in connection with the
lease the mayors message asks that
'fhe matter be definitel- settled and
determined by the judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction" to
the end that agitation of the matter
shall cease.
AT the outset of today's session,
the committee heard read the bill
of complaint in Stacks suit against
the Pioneer Oil Company and tn
Mammoth Oil Company for $5,000,-
600 claimed under his contract with
the Pioneer Company to assist
in obtaining leases in the Teapo,
dome field.
Stack charged that the Pioneer
company had entered into a conspir-
acy with Sinclair by which it with
drew practically all of its applica-
tions for the leases; surrendered al
its rights to Sinclair and allowed
Sinclair to get the lease, thereby de-
feating Stacks just rights under his
contract.
1t appeared that Stack originally
had a contract with e. l.. Doheny
to get leases for a double set of Off
set wells in the Salt River fields ad
joining Teapot Dome, and Stack
charged that Doheny surrendered
his interests to the Pioneer company
