STARVED DUDE
PONIES SHOCK
ING SPECTACLE
FALL IN STREET AND DIE OF
HUNGER-135 SKELETON
AROUSE
HUMANE CITIZENS

A shameful sight which caused ev-
cry passerby to stop and look, and
sent tender-hearted little children
home with quivering lips to tell their
mother, was witnessed on Thursday
when a herd of 1876 head of starving
horses-living skeletons-ghosts of
horses-crawled at a snails pace up
the street from the mill to the Key
stone barn, which was their destina-
ton.
Falling down to lie by the roadside
or to be raised and pushed on by the
men walking behind them; so weak
from hunger that they had to stop
every few feet, their legs swaying
under them; with barely strength to
raise their heads when they put them
down to eat the dried weeds they
were passing over, it was a disgrace
to a civilized country and a spectacle
which made the eyes of those who
saw it blaze with indignation.
One horse fell down by the mill
and vas gotten into a barn by a wo-
man and little boy. 1t was too far
gone to eat and died later. Another
stopped and stood on it's shaky legs,
unable to follow further and men
pushed it with their hands to the barn
where it fell in the doorway and laid
there. The starved mother of a skel-
.ton co,t d;ed IN a stau hofora ro--
ing.

sEASC0UTING TO THE FORE
sd by National Council of the Boy
 Scouts of Amertca)

That vigorous and picturesque branch of the boy scout program known as seascoutins and designed In the interests of the older boy is to bs opened up to all boy scout troops. 10 matter where they are To- cated. according to the plan of the recent seascout conference.
 Where the salty sea is not avail able, at least those features of the seascout program that can be carried out on land will be, such as naviga- ton, astronomy, ship construction, signaling. wireless. sail-making, boat drill, sounding, map reading, charting etc.
 The objects of seascouting are iden- tical with those of land scouting, with greater emphasis on nautical train ing. Because seascout training has proved of incalculabls benefit to the older boy. the conference recom- mended h the interests of greater progress, that the formation of troops be simplifed. and be made similar to that of land troops; also, that certain requirements be made for advance ment in the first three ranks. as in land scouting, and that other ad- vanced work be optional. as In the case of the Merit badge work of the land scout
 A seascout reserve Is also recom- mended, the program of which is to lahI tN al | troops. This work of the reserve will develop more experts in water safety, thereby providing safety-first leader ship In camps, and will make possible community lifs-saving units.
 The blue and tan uniform Is to be done away with, according to plans of the conference. and the regu- lar sailor uniform Is to be adopted A special dress uniform for shore leave Is also recommended.
 At the conference fifty of the seven ty-seven registered ships were repre- sented.
 In the nautical world are many prominent supporters of the character building work of seascouting.
 Admiral William 8. Benson, U. s. N., who is one of these strong advo- cates of the work, has said: "The seascout training included in the boy scout program emphasizes the highest ideals and traditions of the sea, and by teaching the necessity in seafaring for such virtues as unselfishness, self discipline, team work and obedience, makes for men of purpose and char acter."
 To James A. Wilder chief sea- scout. much of the success of this virile branch of the scout movement is due.

Senate Passes Bonus Measure
 Over the Veto

WASHINGTON, May 19.- The three years fight for the soldiers bonus legislation terminated suc- cessfully today when the United States Senate with two votes to spare passed the bill, overriding the veto of President Coolidge. The President used all his efforts to the last to prevent the enactment of the bill, making an eleventh hour at tempt to save his cause by summon ing seven Republican senators to the White House today for a conference at the breakfast table.
 Several Republican leaders joined the strong Democratic lineup in favor of the measure.
 The final vote was 59 to 26.
 Thirty Republicans, 27 Democrats and two Farmer-Laborites voted to pass the bill notwithstanding the Presidents veto and seventeen Re- publicans and nine Democrats voted to sustain the President.
 The bonus bill now becomes a law without the signature of the Presi- dent.
