Kiekenapp. CONDUCTOR HELD AT FAULT Street Railway Superintendent Says Man's Own Report Shows He Waft Aggressor in Fight Over Peanut Shells. Scattering of peanut shells on the floor of a Mount Saott car last week led to fisticuffs between a passengei and conductor, the "firing" of the car man, his arrest for assault and battery, and a protest yesterday by his mates on the Mount Scott line against hie discharge by the Portland Railway, Light A Power Company. A delegation of 16 conductors and motormen visited Fred Cooper, super intendent of transportation for the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany, yesterday, asking that H. F. Kiekenapp, the conductor In question, be restored to his Job and that they be assured of protection by the com pany in cases of altercations with pas sengers. They were assured that their rights would be upheld by the company, but the demand regarding Kiekenapp was refused. "The days of settling disputes with passengers by means of a coupling pin or fist have passed," Superintendent Cooper said. "The passenger In this case was not a rowdy, and he was not treated with the courtesy we require of our employes. According to Kieke napp's own report of the occurrence, he was the aggressor." The delegation was not entirely sat isfied wtih the result of their inter view. It was reported, and It was said that a petition would be circulated among all employee of the company for the reinstatement of Kiekenapp. to be presented to Franklin T. Griffith, presi dent of the railway company. Kiekenapp is 22 years old. married, and lives at 1663 hi East Thirteenth street. He has been four years in the employ of the railway company. Ray Crawford, the passenger to whom Kiekenapp gave two blacK eyes, is a larger man than the contfffctor. Kiekenapp. it Is said, objected to Crawford's throwing shells on the floor of his car, told him he was a "dirty pig" and threw him a broom with the command that he clean up the mess. Crawford refused and the fight began. Each says the other began the attack. The trial of Kiekenapp for assault and battery will be held tomorrow aft ernoon at 2 o'clock In the District Court.

Mr. Johnson now carries his 70 years lightly, and Is arrayed in habilments that he declare will surely make him popular with the nurses at Multnomah County Farm. Every police officer knows him, and he was ushered in with the welcome of an old guest when he applied for lodg ing at the City Jail several nights be fore Christmas. A charge of vagrancy seemed kindness, and Tuesday the vol untary lodger appeared before Judge Langguth. He was tired-looking and his clothes were tattered. The court continued the case pending the appli cation of soap and water. Judge Langguth was first puzzled, then pleased, when he recognized the trim old gentleman who tripped lightly forth for Judgment yesterday. He was clad in black, with a cut-away coat, wore white linen, cravat and stickpin, carried a cane and was shaved to the pink. His silvery hair was pompa doured and on his lip perched a Chaplin mustache. The court made arrange ments for hlo reception at the Multno mah Farm. "I am 10 years older than you, al most." Jailer Ben Branch said to him. "Yet I look the youngest, don't I?" John Swen Johnson bobbed agreeable assent. "You see." the veteran turnkey plumed himself. "I never boozed, around and slept In the streets." "Neither did I drink," objected John son. "But I slept outdoors. Urn-hum, yes! Three yeans ago this Winter work was hard to get. I slept outdoors for 17 straight nights. It rained every one of 'em. I was soaked. Sometimes the sun came out bright and I'd take my duds off, out in the scrub somewhere, and hang m up to dry." "I walked out to the County Farm once or twice," he confessed to Jailer Webster, "but I never had no papers, and I didn't daet go In. but I want ed to." He has been before the County Board of Relief a number of times, it is said, but queries always stimulate his imagi nation and he defeated his coveted en trance to the farm by tales of wealthy relatives, of legacies about to befall and friends who would aid him as soon as they knew. Public Defender Dave Robinson ar ranged for hlo entrance to the Institu tion today. MISS STEWART IS BURIED Interment in Plsgah Home Ceme tery, Fulfills Deaconess' Request.
