ire 0. Gregory, president of the
Boy Scout Council. in an interview
with the Sentinel, gives his opinion as
to the beneficial results which the boys
obtained from the camp which has
just closed.
Says Mr. Gregory:
The camp of the Boy Scouts of.
Weston under the ‘nid of the Council
of the Boy Scouts of Norwalk, has
been a success. "It. shows what a
council can do. This is only one ex-
ample of its possibilities. it has
shown the members of the councii'
what can be done to aid the move-
ment. it has convinced the Scouts
that the council. in Norwalk is deeply
interested in them. it has also beenA
a means of demonstrating to the boys;
and furnishing them with a clearer‘
oi their responsibility as
scouts. and what scouting means.
The scout movement has for its prin-
cipal object. training and preparing
the boys for life, and as citizens of
the community-that is as the motto
says. “Be Prepared," with the idea al-
ways before them of fair play, and
that has been the key note of the
camp.
Each her as part of the routine of
the camp was required to do only one
hour of uot‘k a day, and when the fair.
ness of this proposition was shown.
it was readily grasped by the boys,
{and they attended to their work in
l a manly way.
By each boy attending
to his slotted work. eaCh boy realized
his work stood in relation to the en-
tire csmp activity, and thus the in-
di\lduel rights of the boys were ex-
plained to them in reference to the
rights of the boys as a whole. and
the rights of the oath.- camp were
thus explained to the individual mem-
bers in reference to their own individ y
uni rights. and so the boy analyzes in
his own way the right of others, and
so respects the rights of others. The
way that the neighbors of our camp
in Weston by their courtesy. aided
and assisted the boys. showed that the 4
.boys did in fact respect the rights of?
others. A
There is not a scout. a scout- master,
nor even a member of the council \\ ho
attended the camp that has not re-
Iceived a clearer insight into the work
of scouting and what it means and
I think bevand a doubt they all real-
lze the meaning of the scout motto
“Be Prepared.”

The clever work of Milton Lock-

fellow had on his throat. As a result
the man. who gives his name as Ed-
ward Bouton. of Daubury. was badly
used up.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Officer Lock-
wood was in the Vicinity of the born

of horses trampling about and chains
rattling, the ofllcer called out “is that

Mr. White is in the house."

Clark Smith of 210 Pearl

Yesterday's Hearing.
Not much progress in taking testi-l

Bridgeport in opening his inquiry yes-
terday into the collision ots freight
car and a passenger trolley- car. in
this town Wednesday night, in which
accident four persons were killed. but.
almost at the outset he developed the
main question. Two’ railway employee
differed as to which car had the right;
of way through the block 'ln, which
the collision occurred.
Walter H. Smith, motorman of a

Norwalk to Riverside avenue with an
other car. and was on a spur track

Some time was taken yesterday in

sai'y as Motorman Smith was not told
of the lights in the \Vestport signal
box, and officials of the railway com-
pany assisted in explaining what he
meant in saying that the lights in the
right of
way to ‘the Country Club. It was
shown that in the box light system
double boxes are used at single track
turn-outs. in this instance. the east
light at Riverside avenue and the
west light at the Country Club wor
synchronously. and the west and‘
light respectively worked together.
was explained that a car Coming to 8

against the car the motorman knew
the block ahead was clear and be ex-
changed lights by switching. with is
key, so that he left burning a light
facing the block behind him. This
art exchanged the lights in the box
at the other end of the block so
that an approaching car was warned
by a light that the block ahead was \
not clear.
Coroner Phelan now has in hand
the statements of the injumd em-
ployee and of two others, all having'
directly to do with the conditions of
the lights in the two signal boxes.
besides numerous photographs taken
after the wreck.

Following a consultation with.
Manager .1. B. Potter of the Connec-
ticut'Company, and Attorney Seth M.

Company. Coroner Phc‘an released
Motormen Harold Nadia and Frank '
H. Raymond from custody, with the
understanding that Mr. Potter and
Superintendent C, H. Chapman ' of
Bridgeport, guarantee that they ap‘
pear in court if wanted. Coroner
Pheian made it plain to the oilit‘ials
that if finding of criminal negligence
was returned against the two motor-
men, they would be expected to
furnish bonds of $5,000 for each“ man. 3
Interesting Inference,‘
An interesting point brought out:
was the fact that the the sztches
consented in the actidcnt, are located
3, 800 feet apart. Smith said that. the
express car was 22 poles: west of the
\Vjestport switch when the accident
happened, and that Nadln was
sixteen poles « east of the Country .

proximately, 100‘ feet away from the
next pole, which showed that the ex-
