TO ACTION OR MATTE Sixteen-Year-Old Boy Scout Leader Speaks for Half an Hour Before the Members' Council at Noon-Day Luncheon Today. A senior in the Hammond high school and for five years an enthusiastic Boy Scout, Emerson Burke, the 16-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Burke of 167 Fayette street, spoke for a half nour to the members' council of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce at the weekly noon1 luncheon today. The heads of banks, representatives of the bar and bench, physicians, clergymen, manufacturers and merchants who listened to the interesting talk of the boy were Impressed by the moral he expounded, that the Boy Scout movement is the solution of the boy problem. Young Burke spoke from Ave years' active experience as a member of one of the three Boy Scout troops in Hammond and he took the men of means and affairs in Hammond to task for not supporting: the cause. He stated Iti has suffered from'negrlect and that the efforts of the few men who are Interested have not been sufficient because the community as a whole does not display the proper spirit. It was in the hope of awakening Interest tnat the young man spoke to the council on invitation of Chairman McDaniel. Burke was introduced by Levi Golden, a scoutmaster. After the boy had completed his talk Mr. McDanlel stated that although there have been many excellent Fpeechea delivered before the members It was doubtful If there had ever been one more interesting that that by Emerson Burke. Judges Keiter and Hardy, A. M. Turner and many of tne other leading men of the city were present. An I nunual Coincidence. Burke opened nis talk with the statement that the scout movement is the solution of the boy problem because it furnishes proper environment, good companionship and things to do. It is the antidote for the gang on the street corner. He gave as a recommendation of tne worth of the movement the endorsement of President Wilson who acts as honorary president, and Taft and Roost velt, who act as vice presidents and the character and reputation of James E. West, the active president. At the close of the talk Jesse Wilson, president of the Chamber of Commerce, read a telegram he had received from James E. West, a personal friend of his, whicn carried the sad news of the death of the scout president's eight year old son. This came as a coincidence to the talk of Emerson. "Men of importance, education and real genuine character are back of the scout movement," stated Burke. "Among these sponsors is Ernest Thompson .Seaton. the author. There are stouts in Egypt, Australia find every country in the world. In tne United States there are 187,000 Boy Scouts. The scouts are taught firt-t aid, the history of the flag, habits of animals, about trees and birds, and they make good students in the schools and efficient employes In the business world. They have their oaths and laws, tney work with the schools and churches arid their movement is a community benefit." "Burke, to illustrate what the boy problem is in Hammond, told how boys who were not 3Couts, gather in an old brewery at Oakley avenue and Fayette street to smoke cigarets. shak dice and swear. The Boy Scouts of the city are learning how to become good and useful men. They have to do a good turn daily, he said. There are three troops of Boy Scouts in Hammond and all are in need of the support of the community. The boy stated that these troops need men of various endeavors to lecture before them on their respective trades or professions, and above all the scouts need a meeting place. A motion was passed as suggested by Burke and seconded by Attorney John M. St'.nson that a committee of three men be appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to meet and confer witn a committeo of three Boy Scouts concerning ways and means of aiding the movement In Hammond, It was announced after the meeting that the lurcheon is not restricted to members only, and all are welcome. The meals are good and the rate Is 35 cents. DEATH OF CARL JOHNSON Carl Johnson. 191 Cameron street, died Wednesday night of pneumonia and neart failure leaving a widow and three children. Johnson was 42 years of age and a chain maker. The funeral will be from the residence at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon to Oak Hill cemetery with the Rev. Talmage Wrltt in charge. GIRL HAS SMALLPOX After being free of smallpox for months Hammond again has a case. Bernice Shriver, aged 14, is a victim and the premises of her home at 98 Highland street, are quarantined. Tnere are five cases of scarlet fever in the city, three of diphtheria and one of chickenpox. NEGRO SENTENCED William Johnson, a negro who attemped to enter several places in Hammond last Thursday night and was captured by Officers Carlson and Hesterman after he had found his way into the State hotel, was sentenced to serve from two to fourteen years for entering to commit a felony.
