CAMP GOOD WILL
IN NEED OF FUNDS
Third Party, to Arrive This
Week, May Be Last for
Summer.

Lady Luck is smiling on scores of
eager youngsters and their mothers
who are finding it hard to wait until
Tuesday and Wednesday in anticipa.
ton of two weeks OF fun and rest at
Camp Good Will.
Those who are fortunate enough TO
be included in the third party of
campers are lucky, indeed. for the
Summer outings committee is making
no promise for a fourth party to Ali
their places unless additional funds
are received in the meantime. With
August bringing promise of sweltering
days, Harry G. Meem, treasurer of
the committee. is asking Washing
tonianS to contribute so that other
children can escape from the city
streets and mothers from the hot
cook stoves for n brief period in the
country.
The committee is still several
thousand dollars short OF the amount
required to continue the camp to the
end of the season, SO rather than
close the grounds. the committee
urges all who can afford to give to do
so at once, mailing checks to the
treasurer at the Social Service House,
1920 Eleventh street.
Second Party to Leave.
Approximately 165 children and
their mothers will take the places OF
those who have been enjoying a two
week outing at the camp next
Tuesday and Wednesday, when trans
portation will be provided. The past
week was one of endless enjoyment
for the second party of campers, and
during the hot spell the "ole swimmin'
hole was the center of attraction.
Miss Florence SHADING of the Red
Gross life saving section taught many
a youngster to swim and dive, besides
giving lessons to members of the
staff.
The days were filled with glorious
playtimes in the field and woods. and
then after supper the regular night
stunts sent the campers early to bed
only to dream of the next days hap
penings Last night there was
another motion picture program, films
for which were loaned by the Vita
graph Films Co. and the Educa-
tional Films Corporation.

Ensign Smith, is to have charge of
the vespers service at 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon. Tomorrow there will be
an exhibit of the handwork done by
the campers and in the evening Mr..

are coming out to take their places,

.ROBBER IS KICKED
TO DEATH IN FIGHT
Farmer Says He Killed In.
truder in Terrific Struggle
in Dark Kitchen.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, Ontario, July 23.-Kick.
ed to death in a terrific struggle with
a Beeton farmer, whose house he had
entered. the body of an unidentified
robber today was taken to an UNDER
taking establishment In Beeton, while
provincial police sought to learn his
identity.
One theory. that the man might
have been Harry Duncan. convicted Of
murder in Tennessee. and a fugitive
from justice in Canada after escaping
from the Toronto City Hall. was vir-
tually dispelled today when 1t was
learned that the dead mans hands
were normal, whereas Duncan had
only four fingers.
Fight in Dark Kitchen.
Alex Hodges. the Beeton farmer.
who told the police he had killed the
robber in hand-to-hand fight in the
darkness of his farm kitchen, said that
the man had covered him with re-
volver, but that he had jumped at
him, pushing the weapon aside, and
engaging in a struggle in which the
kitchen was wrecked.
The medical examination of the rob-
bers body showed that he had died
from a fractured skull, the injury
coming either by falling against the
stove or when he was lying in a semi
conscious condition on the floor
