CAMP INQUIRY TO
 BE BEGUN TONIGHT
Reorganization Of Massachusetts
 National Guard RuIn0red

Boston, July 25 R-Althoush cloaked in considerable secrecy, it was reliably reported that inquiry of It. Col. Henry D. Cormerais, state inspector of the National Guard, in- to charges that Captain Samuel E. Murray of the 26th National Guard division, assaulted three enlisted men while drunk at the recent en- campment at Camp Devens, would open tonight in the South Armory.
 21 Witnesses Summoned
 Twenty-one witnesses were known to have been summoned. More will be called if necessary. Captain Mur- ray has the right to be present. He will be represented by Lieut.. Har- old J. Smith. Boston lawyer, an of ficer in Murray's tank company and former commander of the South End post of the American Legion. The accused captain has character ized the charges as bunk"
 The Murray case is the third un- savory incident arising out of the recent encampment. The first con- cerned the dissemination of fake liquor raid stories and resulted in severe reprimands for five high of- ficers, including the chief of staff |, at the express direction of Cover nor Allen. The second, which is still under investigation, had to do with responsibility for abandonment of a number Cf cavalry mounts when the division broke camp. This matter is also being investigated by the federal government which owns the horses.
 Reorganization Rumored Reports that a sweeping reorgaui- zation of the guard including the re- tirement of Major GeGneral Alfred r. Foote, commander. would soon be announced have lacked official confirmation although the general was said to have taken steps to ap- ply for retirement on pension as a disabled emergency officer of the World War. His retirement as m emergency officer would, it was said, make necessary his resignation of the guard command.

"The Waters Fine, ,"Say Children Splashing About Walnut Hill Pool
 On Bhstering Summer Afternoon
Rich and Poor, in Real Bathing Suits and Make shifts, Go Swimming" in Hilltop Basin.

Tiny tots and their older brothers and sisters climbed to the top of Walnut Hill park yesterday-as they do every day in summer when the weather man turns on the heat and the solar king of the universe sends his beams beating down upon the earth with a deadly intensity They did not go up for a view of the scenery and rave about the view as nature worshipers may. Neither did they. like Jack and Jill, climb the hill for a pail of water.
 They went up to enjoy the cooling waters of the Walnut Hill wading pool, to splash and splatter amidst the showery spray from the c. F. Smith fountain and bask in the shade of the towering monument. There were children hardly too large to be babes in arms. beautiful little girls with golden locks, and chubby boys with freckled noses. Some of them were carried by parents. Others trudged up the newly paved road or climbed the short-c paths alone. Still others rode in automo- hiles. driven,' of course, by their elders.
 All was democracy. The poor lit tie rich girl in her snappy bathing suit played ring around the rosy" in the water with her less fortunate playmate who could afford only the usual five and ten cent store" lingerie as a bathing suit.
 Pool Fills Early
 The children began to arrive shortly after lunch. They usually come in groups. One group may be seen, the members of which live on Grove street. Another group prob ably comes from East street or the and at about 2:30 o'clock the capac- ity is almost reached.
 The park is provided with places where the children can undress and don their bathing suits without fear of being seen by the many spectators who come to watch the antics of the children when they are swimming" :" When the youngsters are prepared to enter the pool, they carry their clothes from the dressers and bunk" them under the benches and hedges. Some of the children are fortunate enough to have some member of their party stay out of the water and guard the clothing.
 All Types of Suits
 There is no special ordinance on the mode of bathing suits to be worn. The children wear, besides bathing suits. overalls, old clothing, and old dresses Some of the children wear bathing caps and are equipped with water wings, One little girl was seen with an automobile tube yesterday afternoon.
 The children swim there by walking on their hands. Some of the daring youngsters duck their heads under water and some of the most daring ones jump from the fountain in the middle into the water
 These afternoon groups represent all sections of the city and present a wide range of nationalities. Practi- cally all the leading nationalties in the city are represented, but the Polish group predominates.
