DEFENDS THEFT
IN POLICE COURT
Radical Doctrines Expounded
by Pilferer, With Disastrous
Results to Himself.
GOES TO THE ROCKPILE
Miss Annie Anderson Decides to
Leave City Because Her Happi
ness Is of a Kind Not Appre
ciated in Portland.
James J. McGinnis, professional philos
opher and victim of social theories of
his own creation, preached his doctrines
to an unappreclative audience In the Mu
nicipal Court yesterday forenoon. The
Ineffectiveness of his creed was empha
sized In a striking way by the court and
the hapless philosopher was given an
occular demonstration of the potent In
fluence of a doctrine of life opposed di
ametrically to the McGinnis ideas.
McGinnis was the first man that ever
arose to dellveran oration on the occa
sion of his trial. Most every offender
puts up a talk for release, but McGinnis
stands alone in his method of trying to
convert the court to a view that would
abolish all courts If generally accepted.
And while McGinnis' logic was question
able, his audacity was unadulterated. In
disputable and of the finest quality ever
noted in police court annals.
McGinnis was arrested for simple lar
ceny. He took a canvas covering from
a peanut wagon at Third and Columbia
street, an offense for which he was ar
rested an hour later while engaged in
tacking the canvas up as a covering for
his rattletrap Junk wagon, which he uses
in making a living. ,
"When asked , whether or not he was
guilty, McGlnnLs arose and delivered him
self of a doctrine which marked him as
a cross between a rlb-rlcked Socialist
and a deep-dyed Anarchist.
"I took it," he said, with the bombas
tic ln'entness assumed by all extremists,
"1 took it and I feel that I did no wrong!
It was of no use to the man that once
owned It. It waa going to waste, and
when I took It no one interfered. Under
such conditions I
feel that I did right,
for I needed the can
vas for my junk
'wagon. '
"Why didn't you
buy canvas?" sug
gested Judge Cam
eron. "I do not make
money -enough in the
Junk business," said
McOlnnis.
"You don't have to
stay in the junk
business you might
go to work at some
useful occupation,"
persisted the court.
"Work!" exclaimed
the prisoner. "1
would not work for
any man. I tried to
work once. I was zy
not a union man and 2-4
me unions wcic
against me. Then the
nonunion workers
got down on me, and
because I denounced
Christianity. the
Christians got down
on me. I lost Job
after Job and now I
won't work at all."
McGinnis assumed a heroic attitude pe
culiar to martyrs.
Just why factional antagonism should
Jestroy a man's usefulness the. court was
unable to understand.
"If you want to follow notions like
those "it i your privilege, I suppose,"
aid Judge Cameron.
- "You're right there. Judge, and" be
gan McOlnnis in nn encouraged voice.
"But if you hold to such views you
have got to meet the consequences," in
terrupted the Judge.
Then, Just to Impress McGinnis that his
philosophy needs revision, the court gave
him three months wherein to enjoy those
Advantages for introspection and reflec
tion afforded by the county rockpile.
The town la not as happy as it was
yesterday.
Miss Annie Anderson, the happy girl,
was ordered out of town. M1ss Anderson
Is perennial sunshine
-always smiles and
IT -'" a glance at her
ifCW9i)i countenance Is
l"iSWaSk enough to dispel the
VvF;:? severest attack of
morbidness, as she
parses up the street.
Mr. Kay made a
discovery, however.
Mr. Kay is always
making discoveries.
That's his business
and he is eminently
successful at It. He
discovered, in this
instance, that Miss
Anderson's smiles
v, 7 r- were artificial, quite
Trr -'as much so as her
complexion and her
dark graceful eyebrows.
So he relieved her of her hypodermic
equipment and confiscated her supply of
laughter-producing morphine. Judge
Cameron did the rest, yesterday fore
noon. He gave the hapless happy girl
an hour in which to leave town, because
her kind of happiness Is not wanted here.
Francesco Geari got into tro'uble be
cause of being like an ambitious mother
of half a dozen daughters. In Geari's
case It was chickens and Gearl was too
particular about the society they trav
eled in. Gearl thought his chicks should
be permitted to associate with Mrs.
Frank Bessie's children and should have
all the privileges o that lady's newly
planted garden.
When Mrs. Bessie. m
who lives next door
to Geari. near the
Exposition grounds,
protested at the lib
erties assumed by
the Geari chickens,
the owner of the
fowl allowed his
emotional nature to
get control of him
and said some things
that most likely he
did not mean.
"Madame, you
bother my rhlecks
and I will kill you
sure, so help me God
and not alone will - : -VW . CIM?.
I kill you. but I will ?5i

peruna!" was one
of Geari's amusing
little bon mots.
"But what did he
mean by 'peruna?'
this case sounds to
nie like a patent medicine advertising
Scheme," protested Judge Cameron.
"Nein," said Interpreter Goldstein."
i' V
. j
,r- f
"Dot wort 'peruna' iss a Polisher wort
meanin' "dunder und blitzen." "
Gearl got off by posting JSO as a forfeit
.to the city in event he does not sell all
his chickens Inside of ten days.
"Jlmmie Hill!"
"Yissor!"
"Were your
"Yissor."
"Ever Intend to quit this drinking?"
"Yissor. yer 'oner."
"When?"
Whin I'm dead, yer 'oner!"
"Thirty days!"
"Thanks, yer 'oner."

FLOOD -OF ENTRIES
Many Apply for Places in the
Rose Parade.
RULES FOR THE FIESTA
Umatilla Indians in Native Finery
W ill Be Feature of Great Flower
Pageant Large Entry In
the Trophy Class.
Entries by the hundreds poured in at
rose carnival headquarters yesterday
for participation in the big floral
parade of June 21. It kept the clerical
force busy handling these applications
for positions in the parade, and the
results of the day indicate very plain
ly that the public's participation will
meet all expectations.
Hereafter applications will likewise
be received for space in the floral ex
hibit at the Forestry building. While
the spacious structure has more than
50,000 square feet of available exhibit
space, it is hoped that every portion of
this will be utilized by exhibitors.
Those presenting- their applications
first will be given the choice of the
exhibit space. As in the parade,
nothing of an advertising nature will
be permitted in the exhibit unless It
be a creation of flowers.
While yesterday's applications for
space In the parade could not be
segregated, a cursory examination dis
closed that the majority of entries
were sent In under the trophy prize
class. Those competing for cash prizes,
however, were numerous. The follow
ing rules will govern in the parade:
Norn ins: of an advertising nature will be
allowed in tho parade unless It is a crea
tion of flowers.
No con t esian t can enter the same ve
hicle, horse, pony or float in competition
for more than one prise.
Each and every contestant for prtxe hon
ors will be assigned to a position in the
parade and must be at the point designated
by the parade comlmttee at 1 :30 P. M
harp. The judges awarding prizes will review
the pageant in its entirety from different
places along the route, and mark points of
merit which are to be compared when the
awarding committee reassembles.
Th peristyle at tho Lewis and Clark
Fairgrounds will serve as the grand re
viewing stand before which all contestants
for prise honors must pass for Judgment
before disbanding the parade.
After passing the grandstand the entire
column will be arranged in a semi-circle
at tha court of honor and sunken gardens,
where a historical photograph will be taken
the Government building and Guild's
Lake forming a picturesque background.
The Judges will score points favoring dec
orations of natural flowers over the arti
ficial ones.
Arrangements are being made to im
port a band of Umatilla Indians from
the reservation to appear in the parade.
It is intended to secure as many of
these redmen as possible. Those that
come will bring their reservation finery
with them and appear as aborigines.
It is being urged by the publicity
committee that postcards be sent out
In lare quantities. Everyone is ex
pected o send out a few of these cards.
The cards have been left in thousands
at the various department stores, cigar
stands, newstands and trading places.
They may be had for the asking, and as
a 1-cent stamp gets the card through
the malls, the expense, of sending a
few to friends, relatives or acqualnt
ences Is obvlouslynot very great. The
benefits to the city, however, from this
combined publicity, are Inestimable.
