Into the limbo of outtuwed and contriibund thiiiKB will be cant various aliened guliU'ious, lewd and obscene iiiuku lies now circulated without let or hindrance on Portland newHHtnnds, if United States Attorney Humph reys bus his way. A complaint was received by him Thursday UKUiust nine publications, which was said to have been Hindi by 12 of the strongest civic and so clul organisations of the city. The complaint characterized the.se maga zines as "questionable, obscene and rotten." Tliey were named as fol lows: "Whiz Bung," ''Wampus Cat." "Quirt," "Pujuiuas," "La Vie Porisi enne." '"La Petite Parlslenne," 'Hot Dog," "La Journal," and "Kun." Mr. Humphreys w:u bring to the attention of distributors of these magazines section 24 5 of the penal code, which provides severe, penal ties for any manner of interstate transportation of anything of an in decent character. This makes it a punishable offense for anyone to take such mutter from an cspress company, a steamship, train, auto mobile or other common carrier, the law providing a fine of not more than $5000 or imprisonment for not more thnn five years, or both Buch fine and imprisonment for their circulation in any manner. lo 2,0(10, 000 children nnd 8.000,000 adults in 'the Volga region. This was revealed in u recent speech by M. Kalinin, the "poasaut pnsidunt" of Soviet 'Kusslu. The sums expended by the ltusslan v ernment for transport of the Amer ican food from the llultic ports to the actuul famine areas, said M. Kalinin, almost eiiuul the cost of ,'the food. Up to date, lie deVlared, llussia has spent 15.000,0110 gold rubles, or about $7,500,000 for transport ing food to the Vola, und, in 1!)22, will have to spend not less than 40.000,000 gold Yubl.-s, which, he ardded, Is not Ii'sh than thu Amer ican Relief - Administration itself spr-tids. iMOlI DERBY' EMASOfiW T I PROBLEMS PP 1ST (Bv Associated "Press) DETROIT, Mich., Mur. 21 Hwj "major" problems confront Tyrus Raymond Cobb as he Inaugurates his second attempt to pilot the Tig ers to the pennant. Tho Detroit leader must holster up his infield, wrecked last year when the keystone combination gave way, and from a coterie of a dozen pitchers taken into the training cump at Augusta, Georgia, eight or ten must be found to bear the brunt of the coming campaign. On lust year's showing, the catching and outfield corps can hold then- own with anything In the American Lea gun, while Blue and Jones, also veterans, are without competition for their placed at first and third this season. If "Pep" Young Is back in form that marked his .playing prior to last year, Manager Cobb's worries about second base will be ended; if not, George Cutshaw, the National I.eaguw veteran, is expected to have the call for the post, unless one of the youngsters, aspiring for n btrtll, shows major league ability. At short, the field probably will be open to recruits only, asFlag stead, who filled In last year arter Bonnie Bush was benched, Is classi fied as an outfielder. Cobb has let It be known that seven infleldors will be carried this year, in order to insure plenty of utility strength, and with Blue nnd Jonos assured of their Jobs, the fight for the other five places lies be tween Young, Cutshaw, S. T. BarneJ from Kalamazoo; D. C. Clark, Wic hita Falls, Tdxas; Fred Haney, Oma ha; J. L. Mann, Evnnsvllle, Indiana, E. E. Rlgnsy, Fort Worth; F. C. Herman, Edmonton, Alberta, and H. G. Merrill, who was with the Tigers in the latter part of 1921. Rlgney, who cost Detroit $7,500 is considered' one of the leading oandidntes for short, and glowing advance notices have also been ic celved of Mann. Tiger adherents point to the 1021 record an indicative of the task Cobb faces In whipping his pitch ing staff into shape. Of the hurlor counted as regulars, Cole alone wes credited with more victories thuu defeats; the figures being 7-4. Leon ard, another lefthander, led the lo cal pitchers in point effectively?, with 3.74 earned runs per gnme, and he ranked fourteenth in Amer ican League averages. The others, Oldham, Holllngs, Douss nnd Ehmke trailed fur behind. Seven youngsters, Including Ste wart, who saw service with tho club last year, constitute the additional material on -which Cobb Is to draw. Of the lot, principal attention is Wnterlirg on Herman Pillette'ond Sylvester Johnson, the pair of right handers for which the club paid around 40.000 to Portland. Cobb plans to carry only three receivers, probably Bassler, Wood all and Manion of lust year. Barring injury or Illness. Cobb. Heilman and Veach will likely con stitute the outfield when the bell rings on the opening day. 11 RATES RUSSIA TRADE FAIR SAN FRANCISCO, Mur. 21.
