TOUGH LUCK FOR SCOUTS


Boy Scouts have run into some tough
luck and are entitled 10 the sympathy Of
all.
For months thousands of Scouts in al
parts Of the country, and throughout the
world for that matter. have been look
ing forward with considerable anticipa-
tion to the world iamboree" 10 be held
in Washington next week
Thursday night, President Roosevelt.
as nominal head of the Scouts. called off
the lambOree because of the presence of
infantile paralysis in the Washington
area. 1t was feared that with thousands
of boys from all parts of the world gath
cred together in a huge camp, the dis
ease might spread and claim many vic
Tins. From his own personal experience,
the President didn't want anything like
that to happen and after discussing the
matter with Scout officials and the chief
of the public health service it was de
cided that safety and the protection of
the boys deemed the amboree too risky.
We don't know if any Scouts from this
area intended to go to Washington, but
even if not, our sympathy for the young
sters who are doomed to such disappoint-
ment Is sincere.
The world iamboree" brings Scouts
from various nations together. 1t gives
them an opportunity to meet on common
ground, regardless of nationality, race
or creed, and past 'iamborees" have been
the means of creating many firm friend
ships among the youths of various coun-
tries, all of which goes to make up
better understanding between peoples of
different nations, now and in the future
Keen as the disappointment of the
Scouts must be, they will take this set
back as the Scout code DEGREES, with
chins up and eyes to the front.

Gerald Thompson, 26, Peoria
slayer, was released from prison
this morning at 1918. But the
lush harvest moon was not for
him. He was dead-electrocuted
for Staying Mildred Hallmark, Pc
oria beauty.
Young Thompson entered the
death chamber at 1874 a. m. He
was game, his step firm. He
seated himself in the chair.
He had issued a four-page state
ment advising potential criminals
to embrace religion.
Spurns Morphine
Even the needles with their
memory-dulling morphine he
waved aside when prison doctors,
as is customary, offered to give
him an injection to make lighter
those last 40 steps. He said:
That's all unnecessary. L
don't need it. / am not afraid
to die."
Watching the reflex of muscles
pull the young slayer'S body into
convulsive thrustS against the
straps vas John Hallmark, father
Of 17-year-old Mildred.
Hallmark, tall and husky, with
o square set jaw; seemed to drink
in the scene being unfolded before
him until the black masked figure
Strode slowly into the room be-
tween two priests.
"Sure Gets a Mani"
His eyes flashed as the slayer
Of his daughter sat in the chair.
AS ThompSon's body Stiffened to
the crash of the current, Hall
mark dug his nails into his hands,
on the verge of collapse.
First to leave the death scene,
Hallmark went to a window, his
face paSty. AS he gulped at the
fresh air, color returned to his
face and he said:
"Sure gets q man, doesn't it,"
care you satisfied now that
he Is gomez"
81 am. We are, that is the
family. We have felt that this
was the only punishment which
would fit the crime. 1t Is too
bad, though, that he didn't get
this years ago. He was absO-
lutely without any respect or
feeling for women"
ThompSon'S body was trundled
out into the night, almost as he
had trundled the body of the
young girl out of his second hand
automobile into a dark ravine in
Springdale Cemetery in Peoria
that night of June II. She was
found next morning.
Talks With Mother
Thompson, given his "hang-
mans supper" was taken to the
cell in death row shortly after
10 p. m. The afternoon and early
evening hours he spent in his cell
talking with his mother. She
brought with her a letter from
Gerald's sweetheart in Peoria. In
it the girl renewed her protesta-
tionS of love and urged him to
"go to the chair like a man."
His mother has claimed his
body. She is burying him today
