(Conducted by National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.) BURGOMASTER MAX TALKS The following little address was made by the famous Belgian patriot Burgomaster Max of Brussels to the Boy Scouts of Belgium. Its message rings as true for the Boy Scouts of America as for their brothers across the sea: “In becoming a scout, each one of you has made the most important res- olution of his life: that of seeking to acquire those manly qualities and moral ‘virtues which make the good citizen. “You know already that to be a scout it is not enough to wear the uniform. You must obey the law which you have voluntarily imposed upon yourself, whose ten points embody your duties toward yourself and to- ward your nelghbor. “In subjecting urselves to the training which renders the body sup- ple, in exercising your will power, in developing your powers of observas tion, of decision and of judgment, you v 0k g e MATTER OF DEATH IN DOUBT Authorities Puzzled as to Whether Man's Being Pronounced Dead Makes Him Legally So. Al F. Williams, United States dis- trict attorney for Kansas, recelved a letter a short time ago asking his opin- lon as to the status of a person upon whom a death sentence has been exe- cuted, who has been legally pro- nounced dead, but afterwards regains consciousness and recovers. The case cited was that of five ban- dits who were convicted of highway | robbery In the province of Cagayan, Philippine Islands, and sentenced to | die by the old Spanish method of | strangulation. After the exccution the five bandits were placed on the floor of a church to await funeral rites in the morning. In the night three re- gained, consciousness. Two of the three died “again” in a couple of days, but one recovered, although left in a deformed condition. The questions asked are whether the | bandit who lived could be slrnngled again, or, if he could not, would the fact that he was legally pronounced dead prevent his being tried in the courts if he committed another crime. Mr. Williams wrote an opinion to the inquiring person, declaring that he be- lieved that an order could be obtained from the court setting aside the first execution as having never been per- formed and another one ordered. His opinion was that if the bandit were not killed, finally, he could be | held amenable for other crimes, al- lii*i*fiilfflil’l*\ BAGLEY x Q*ifiiitbfittiiil*l | Mrs. Walter O'Neil and son left {Friday for Superior, Wis., where they will visit relatives.
