James McGowen, of 146 Yonkers avenue, the boy who was assaulted, is in St. John’s Hospital with wounds that are not serious. Tlie boy makes another charge in addition to that of assault which, if true, proves Welch to have been a degenerate. McGowan says that he was ap proached by- Welch in Getty Square Saturday afternoon. The man said he Was looking for a room, and asked the hoy to assist him in finding some house on a list he carried. A trip to W hite Plains by trolley was pro posed by the man, and the boy agreed. They came to this village and walked out to Bloomingdale As- I 11111 . On the way back to Y’onkers, in the woods along the Grassy Sprain road, the assault occurred that led to W elch’s death.

CountySLAndrew Members Meet Hold Quarterly Session in Mount Vernon and Organize New Branch.. —New RocheUe Represented. From many places iu W estchester County Brotherhood of St. Andrew members assembled at Trinity Church, M o u n t Vernon, Sunday afternoqn at a quarterly meeting and conference of the W estchester Local Assembly. There were about 170 Brotherhood members present. Delegations were present from chapters in Peekskill, Ossining, Tar rytown, Yonkers, New Rochelle and Harrison, as well as from the senior and junior chapters in Ascension and Trinity parishes. President V , M. Griswold, of St. Peter’s chapter, Pcckskill, presided. The feasibility of forming a separ ate junior assembly was the most im portant part qf the business meeting, The boys were asked to consider the matter further at their own chapter meetings. The business session closed with prayer by Rev. W . H . Owen, Jr., rec tor o f Trinity Church, and tile senior and junior conferences were then held. E. C. Freeman, of Ossining, was chairman o f the senior, and F. H. Phipps, of Jlount Vernon, of the junior conference. Both conferences had thc same topic: “Thc W ork of tlie Brotherhood—Urgency.” A number of men spoke in -the sen ior conference, emphasizing the fact that Brotherhood work is always urg ent, a s is all of the more strictly re ligious side of church work. In tlie junior conference Chairman Phipps made some remarks. Rev'. H. I.. R . Thomas spoke, and Percy J. Knapp, director of St. Andrew’s junior chapter, Yonkers, tlte largest chapter represented, told several ef fective stories illustrating thc sub ject. Four juniors spoke, one from Yonkers, two from Ascension junior chapter, and one from Trinity junior chapter. Supper was served at Trinity House by the Daughters o f the ' King o f Trinity Church, tlie ladies receiving a hearty vote o f thanks. Above the stage was a large illuminated St. An drew’s cross. A Brotherhood sermon was preach ed t o the members o f the assembly at tlte evening service by Rev’. W ilbur L. Caswell, rector curate o f St. Thomas’s Church, New York. M UST SH O W BAD GE. Trolley Employees Warned, to Do So If They Would Ride Free. Superintendent Wheeler, of the Westchester Electric Railway, has is sued an order that all employees o f thc company, if they expect free transportation over the lines, must vvcac their badges in plain view. Heretofore employees whenever they- were not working were in thc habit of simply stating their numbers to t h c conductors. The order applies particularly to thc men as they travel between the terminal in this city and the car barns. T h e new order went into effect the first of thc month. It gave rise to the report that 110 longer would any of the employees be permitted to ride free. Such is not the case at all. “A ll wc want is that our men wear their badges o r number on their hats, where they can be seen,” Mr. W heel er said. “ T h e y don’t need to be ashamed of their job. There is no truth in thc report that the employees of th c cars will not be permitted to ride free outside of working hours, The notice has been posted and it is simple enough.” COUNTIES M UST P A Y BILLS. The state civil service commission announces that Joseph K . Pettingill of Jfonnt Vernon has passed the re cent competitive examination for the position of chief inspector of gas in I thc office of the second district pub lic service commission. The salary of thc position is $2,500 per annum. B y a vote of 27 to 2 the Senate on March 1 passed Assemblyman A l Smith’s bill saddling on the counties the cost o f investigations of their affairs conducted b y state officers, deputies appointed by the Attorney General to conduct cases before grand juries and the like. There was no debate, the matter having been thrashed out pretty thoroughly pre viously when the organization did not have votes enough to pass the measure, and so laid it aside. Tell of ftto day’s Business Statistics Compiled b y Merchants Ex change for Wat Department. The Merchants Exchange has com piled for the W a r Department statis tics o f the commerce and passenger traffic of Echo Bay harbor for 1910. The Jferchants Exchange was in strumental in organizing the “Har bors Improvement Association of New Rochelle” about a year ago, composed of the various organiza tions of the city, for the purpose of obtaining an adequate appropriation for the improvement and deepening of our harbors. The report for 1910 shows that New Rochelle is entitled to better harbor facilities. The statement shows the class of vessels that used the harbor, in 1910, the number of trips, their tonnage and draft, as follow s: Tugs and steamers, 3474 trips, 75 to 90 ton, 2 feet to 12 feet draft. Sailing vessels, 35 trips, 500 ton. Barges etc., 650 trips 300 to 600 ton, 8 feet to 13 feet draft. Jliscellaneous 250 trips. Passengers carried, about 80,000. Thc statement shows the freight handled in 1910 with a total tonnage of 267,922, valued at $3,215,460, as follows: Gcnerpl merchandise, 26,225 tons, value, $2,059,795, _________ NORTH PELHAM NOMINEES. Durham and Coder to Run,— Presi dent Reiliy’a Name Not Mentioned. The Republicans and the Demo crats of North Pelham met in the town hall Monday night and held their primaries. As told, the Republi cans nominated Knecland S. Dur ham for president and. the Democrats chose Peter Ceder jo head the Demo cratic ticket. President Reilly’s name was not mentioned a t tlte Republican primary. After it was all over, Ceder met Durham and began questioning him about compromises which had been suggested last week. Finally Ceder said: “This w ill be a fight to thc finish.” “A ll right,” said Dur ham, “let it be that; but we w ill be just as good friends after it is a ll over as we were before.” “I don’t know about that,” said Ceder, The two men then parted. A little later they were seen sitting side by side in tlie front of the room, and when a news paper man walked up to them and asked if there was any chance of a compromise, lie was (old that they were simply talking on personal mat ters. Durham said last night that there would be no compromise. Ceder said so at the Democratic primary.— Mt. Vernon Argus. s u e s F o r $ 50 , 000 .

W h a t are the indispenjible benefits of habitual attendance upon the Stated services of the church? Other pertinent questions along a similar line will be suggested and a frank, open message with such in view suggests the sermon of Sunday morning. “ Back to the Bible” will be the evening topic. Perhaps there are few,topics, which just now are auch living) burning, up-to-date themes as this, and this message w ill endeavor to suggest thc place which the Book of God must have in all our thoughts, and what kind of a Book it must be to exercise authority over character and conduct.

John Ferris ia Found N o t Guilty of V i o l a t i n g C o m p u l s o r y E d u c a t i o n a l Law. The first case tried in Westchester County under the Educational L a V was before Judge P latt and a jury Saturday, John Ferris, o f Bedford, was in dicted for not allowing his two chil dren -to attend the little Bedford school. The schoql-fs taught by Miss Rose M cNeilly. Ferris does not like the school teacher or her teach ings and says his children did not learn at school which he blamed to the teacher. The school district au thorities and Ferris have been in hot water for several months and he paid no attention to many notices of warning sent him and his indictment followed. W h ile Ferris w a s sick at home he said he wanted the law test ed and by his request the case was 'on trial in his absence. The case took ail day and was full o f interesting testimony that showed bitterness on both sides. I t was near ly five o’clock whcn^ thc jury had been charged and retired. They were out only a few moments when they returned w ith a verdict fo r tlie de fendant. Should Ferris have ’ been found guilty thc extreme penalty could only have been a fine of $5. Jfiss Rose JIcNcilly, the ' school teacher, was quite indignant over the verdict. W hether any steps will be taken to compel Mr. Ferris to send^ his children -to school has not been’ decided. B u t it was remarked fol lowing the v erdict by several' of anti- Ferris people that the matter was not settled yet. N E W S O F B O Y SCO U T S .

With six teams to play in the league, three games thus being- as sured each Saturday afternoon, the organization, starts on a . firm basis. There have been city and county leagues in the past which have had their share of success; but none has been organized-.with'the,seops of the commercial ledfgur. No better section could have been covered than that represented, in. tht- league, -by the Jones Speedometer company, o f New Rochelle,- the Federal Sugar Refining Company, M ( Y p & e f'i n « £ . Hodge man Rubber Company, o f Tuckahoe, and the Mauser Manufacturing Com pany, New Y o rk Telephone Com pany, and Weatchester Lighting Company, of this city, There has been a discussion oi the schedule which assures so much sport for loqal fans from May 6 to the mid dle of August, and possibly longer in the event of any rainy Saturday or if it should be necessary to postpone any of the games. An indication of the desire to, g p about the formation of this league with the object of mak ing it as big a success as .possible was the manner in which representatives entered into- the discussion of plans at the Argus office meeting on Wed nesday evening,’ There will be an intense rivriry, s| each o t the teams is esger to land the championship for the first year o f the Commercial Baseball League,' together with the prizes which w ill g o with the honor.
