TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, . SEPTEMBER 13, 1920 C1D DACY 0 JONES BARE MOVIE SCANDA! Xo FAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 12. (Spe cial.) Arrested today upon arrival of the steamer Star of France, Alfred Beltran, 19 years of age, Mexican boy, who Is under suspicion as a fac tor in the death of Miss Gladys Gold ing. motion picture actress, which oc curred in Los Angeles on April 18, is expected to reveal information, re garding a circle of drug habitues who are employed in the motion pic ture studios of the southern Califor nia city. , According to Beltran, Miss Golding, who was appearing at the Culver City studios with Will Rogers, was a hopeless slave to the drug habit. Well-known cafes and restaurants in Los Angeles figure largely in the story which he tells of his journeys with the actress in her search lor morphine. Echo of Paris Orgies. Following closely ypon the revela tions which have followed the death of Olive Thomas, motion picture star, which occurred in Paris as the re sult of mercurial poisoning, it Is an ticipated by police authorities that a similar state of affairs may be ex posed through tjie solving of the mystery which has surrounded Miss Golding's death. Following his arrest by San Fran cisco detectives, Beltran stated that he had known Miss Golding but a few days before her death and that their acquaintance had begun when she had approached him upon the streets and asked him whether he could secure a supply of morphine for her. Knowledge of Death Denied. He denied all knowledge of the manner of her death, but admitted that he became aware of her death on April 18 when he called at the Valencia apartments, where the ac tress maintained an establishment, and was told that she had been found dead in her rooms. The boy states he had been with her the afternoon and evening of the 17th. Beltran left Los Angeles two days later for Alaska where he obtained work in a Bristol bay cannery during the fishing season. Statements made by Beltran to other cannery employes led to his arrest. Statement Leads to Arrest. One of his fellow workmen took an overdose of morphine and it was during the excitement which followed that the boy is said to have taken a woman's glove from his pocket which he exhibited with the statement that he had left Los Angeles because of the death of a motion picture actress who had died from an overdose of the drug. When the return trip to San Fran cisco was begun, men upon the ship m'irelessed their information to the Ban Francisco police, and the boy's arrest followed. He is held on a vagrancy charge pending word from the Los Angeles police regarding his disposition. Bail has been set at high figure.

Michael Hennessy, brother of Sean Hennessy, the hunger striker, today showed the Associated Press correspondent a slip of paper. apparently made by a multigraph ma chine, which he said he had taken from a lamp post on a street leading to the Jail early today. The paper reads: "In some districts loyalists and members of his majesty's forces have read notices threatening the destruc tion of their houses in certain eventu alities. Under these circumstances it has been decided that for every loy alist house so destroyed the house of a republican leader will be similarly dealt with. It is naturally to be hoped that (the necessity for such reprisals will not arise and therefore this warn ing of punishment which will follow any destruction of loyalists' houses is being widely circulated.

Member of Washington Veterans' Welfare Commission Urges Kt nomination of Lawmaker. WASHINGTON. Wash., Sept. 12. (Special.) That United States Sen ator Jones has in no way displayed pro-Japanese sentiments and that he has helped to further what local stu dents of the question regard as its true solution, is asserted by Miller Freeman, member of the state veter ans' welfare commission, in a state ment issued here Saturday supporting Senator Jones for rentfmination. "Opponents of Senator Jones have given out the Impression that he is pro-Japanese, said Mr. " Freeman. "The facts, of the case are that a year ago, when as member of the veterans' welfare commission my at tention was called to the Increasing number of Japanese, a movement was undertaken to meet the situation. "The greatest response and best co operation were accorded by Senator Jones, who transmitted the facts which we presented to the depart ment of state with the request that action be taken to protect the inter ests of our people. In December, 1919, Senator Jones introduced in the senate the measure that seems to us to present the true solution of this problem. That was a concurrent resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution providing that no child hereafter born In the United States of foreign parentage shall be eligible to citizenship In the United States unless both parents are eligi ble to become citizens."

The candidacy of Senator Jones for re-election to the senate is an issue of national rather than local or sectional Importance, due to the need in the senate of a man of bis -experiences in shipping matters in framing legislation to make the $3,000,000,000 which the government has invested in merchant marine a paying investment, according to Ad miral Francis T. Bowles of Boston, prominent shipbuilder and during the war general manager of construction for the shipping board. Admiral Bowles is in Seattle to tes tify, in the action of the government against J. F. Blain, formerly north west district manager for the ship ping board and an immediate cub ordlnat.of Admiral Bowles. Acquaintance Xm Intimate.

"It was an able committee, but, even so. Senator Jones was distinguished by his attitude of one seeking information on which to base constructive legislation, rather than seeking political squibs. If the return of Senator Jones to Washing tori were a matter purely of personal or local interest 1 would be reluctant to say a word concerning him.

When the war came on and the south found that it was impossible to get the ships to trans port , its cotton, "nd the middle west in a lesser degree had difficulty with the transportation of Its agricultural products, these sections came to realization that the lowest rate was not the first consideration, but that absolute control of a merchant ma rine by the government in time of crisis. Out of this came the shipping board and the great fleet which it has built or assembled at a cost of 13,000,000 000. Now we are confronted with the necessity of making that expenditure a paying investment. Marine Bill Pralaed. "The Jones shipping bill will do this.
