Three etranger pals never stood be fore the Municipal Court. There was Dan Burns, near to 70 years, gray eyed. gray-hairei and bearded like a prophet; Harry McFarland, 32, lop sided with lameness and smiling with a. twisted grimace", and Eddie McFar land, the novice, not yet 18. They were vagrants. Detectives Hellyer ana Tackaberry arrested, the three several days ago as they left a Front-treet old-clothes store, where they had purchased a suit for Eddie. Certain records and articles in their possession appeared to warrant their detention as "bunk" operators. The court wanted to know what Harry McFarland had to say for him self. Why, for instance, he carried a .smudged subscription list setting forth that he was crippled of arm and leg and was the sole support of a small daughter who suffered from infantile paralysis. And why the boy was in their drifting company. McFarland rolled up his right trouser leg. Along the shank lay a deep scar fully a foot long. He tugged his coat eleeve above an elbow. The arm was swollen and twisted at almost a right angle. Cripple Auks Chance. "I can't work." eaid McFarland. "So I sell water filters and small kitchen articles. As long as a roan's sober and doing the best he knows how, I think he should have a chance. We met the boy in Pocatello. and he came with us. We ain't no relation, although the name is similar. I've tried to do what's right by him." Dan Burns waggled his drift of beam in speech. He sold shoestrings and lead pencils, he told the court, and followed the road wherever it led him. The two McFarlands were chance com panions of the way. Why had Eddie McFarland left home for the career of a hobo? Eddie had quitted his father because of many an argument about washing dishes. In the "jungles" at Pocatello he met Burns and McFarland. They took to the "rods" together. "I used to have to wash the dishes." explained Eddie, with serious brown eyes fixed upon the court. "Sometimes I wouldn't start right away, and my father would get sore and cuss me. Then my mother would side in with me, and my father would cuss her. I took my mother's part. Finally I couldn't stand it and I went to Twin Falls to work. Only my mother knew where I was. By-aqdrby I came back to Pocatello. They was gone. I don't know where they are, but I think they are in Colorado." Each Has Money. "How much money have you?" queried the court. McFarland had $57. Burns had $46. "Humph! That beats practicing law," mused Judge Langguth. "Judge, you don't know how long it took me to get that together," ven tured Harry McFarland. Two great nuggets, of gilded babbit, were found in the pockets of Dan Burns. The officers contended that theee were his stock in trade, the wares of a true "bunk." "They've never been out of my pock et." objected Dan Burns, "since a man give them to me in Pocatello." Eddie McFarland assured the court, with solemn emphasis, that he had seen the "PnnntAlIrk traTisarfinn. anil that Tin n was guiltless of guile In the matter of the nuggets. With 40-day suspended sentences and an edict of banishment from Portland. McFarland'e limp and Dan Burns' whiskers went south some time yes terday. Eddie McFarland was given into the custody of the Juvenile Court. His parents will be located if possible. AUXILIARY IS FORMED New Body Will Look After Interests of Company E flembers. An auxiliary composed of friends and relatives of the men in Company E, Third Oregon Infantry, was formed Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. F. R. Cook. 430 East Fortieth street.

Cook; secre tary, Mrs. E. Harrison; treasurer. Airs. J. Friedenthal. A feature of the meeting was the talk of Edward Wisendanger, who has just completed 20 Tears of service with Company E in the Oregon National Guard. Mr. Wisendanger reported that the boys at the border were all well, and that the camp at Imperial Beach was ideally located. CHAMBER NAMES C. F. BERG Jfew Director Recommended by Re tail Merchants' Bureau. Charles F. Berg yesterday was elected a director of the Chamber of Commerce to fill the position recently made va cant by the resignation of J. C. Eng lish.

CHINESE CASE IS UNUSUAL Lottery Operator Goes to Jail Lack of Money' or Friend. for The lot of Lee Gow, Chinese lottery operator, is unusual. In default of friends and money he went to jail yes terday forenoon, to serve out the $20 fine imposed by Municipal Judge Lang ruth. On the contrary. Ah Yin. con victed of visiting the game, blithely tiaid his $10 fine and was released. Cases where the Chinese permit one of their race to remain in prison when . ne will release, them are so rare that Lee Gow's fate occasioned much comment in Municipal Court circles. ! $2-$3.50 Sports Silks $1.29 200 yards of striped sports silks, khaki kool and heavy pongee a bargain at, yard, $1.29 2d Fir. $2.00 Senator Watch 98c Thin model "Senator Junior" Watches in the size popular for women's use, 98c.

Wagnitz, 337 Morris street: and Martin Marks, 1007 Savier street. That other Portland residences were nnea by Hoffman, and the robberies not reported to the police, is evidenced by the following unclaimed list of jewelry recovered by Detectives Hellyer and Tackaberry: Masonic lapel but ton, pearl stickpin, opal Btlckpin. gold neckchain, sapphire and pearl stickpin, gold neckchain, gold nugget, sapphire ring, gold bracelet with initial "A," gold cross, opal ring, turauoise rln?. -ring set with four garnets, circular gold locket and heart locket.

ENROLLMENTS NOW 100 MORE THAIS' 00 EXPECTED TO GO TO CITIZENS CAMP. Portland Office Will Enlist Men From All Paris of State for Ameri can Lake Enenmpment. Enrollments are coming in well for the American Lake citizens' camp, to be held August 28 to September 23. The Portland office, on Washington street, near Broadway, will be kept open to list applicants until Saturday, August 26. Nearly 100 men have en rolled their names at this office for the American Lake camp training. The Portland office will list men from all parts of Oregon. Physical qualifications are not rigid and. in fact, it is said the work at the camp is almost certain to improve the physi cal condition of all enlisting. The round of exercises., drills. regular hours, hikes and target practice in the open air Is recommended to prove helpful to all who take the course of I training. Officers in charge of the local office expect at least 600 citizens will avail themselves of the opportunity to take the American Lake training. They hope to bring the total attendance to 1000. The -no-elty of the affair is proving attractive to many, as it is the first such -camp ever established in the Pacific Northwest. It will be modeled after the well-known citizens' camp at Plattsburg. N. T. ment responded to the call, and actu ally got water on the fire at the same time.
