Tills MORNING OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1919. 11 POMEREHE IS THDRH TO no DEMOCRATS Ohio Booms Its Senator as Candidate for President. RADICALS TO SEE FIGHT riamb Plan Will Be Attacked J'omrrf-ne Is Chosen but Jlost of Others Are Mlcnt. if OREGON I A.N NEWS BUREAU. H'ashington. Oct. 1J. Senator Atlee Pomtrcn, of Ohio is now being intro duced to the country as a candidate lor the democratic nomination for ! president in a booklet entitled "The Call From Ohio Hosts." This candidacy attracts attention because it Is the first challenge to all of the diMlngulxhed aspirants for the presidency within the democratic Prty no may have been flirting with bol.heviiii in general and the Dumb plan of railroad operation in particular. It is a disturbing noise to Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, who regards himself as a formidable candidate for the presidency as the result of three elections as the state's Chief executive. ox. so far as can be ascertained, has never declared himself on the Plumb plan and. by the way. does anyone recall an expression from William Gibbs McAdoo. ex-secretary of the treasury and director-general of railroads, on this little brotherhood plot which is recognised as the en tering wedge to a sovietixed govern ment? Cox Regarded aa Oral am. James M. Cox Is a genius. Prom the day he first came to congress he dis tinguished himself as a political weather vane and observers had to admire his ready adaptability to the aide of any great question which would net the most votes. To this Ingenuity is credited most of his rue cess In pontics. Pomerer.es constituents at leas know where he stands most of the time. His position is not determined by a poll of the voters. He does hlJ own thinking and the day that the Plumb plan was officially launched In Wanhington he came to his feet in stantly and denounced it. And. so far. he Is the only democratic candi date mentioned who is unmistakably on record against bolshevism. A. Mitchell Palmer. like several ether persona mentioned In connec tion with the democratic nomination. has declared against bolshevum In general terms, but It will be coiuenl ed thai no public man has made his position clear until nie has denned his stand on the Plumb plan, because this scheme of grabbing the railroads and making the public foot the bill is rau'dlv shaping into a political Issue. Hope Pot la Democrats. In the pre-conventton campaign the Republicans will not be troubled with It. because every aspirant who has a chance Is known to he against this radical proposal. The republican candidate at all Inclined toward it would be out of the running from the start. It Is therefore regarded as certain that the Plumb plan advocates will center their light in the demo cratic party to capture tne nomina tion. They have been careful to place at the head of their organixation none but men who have always called themselves democrats, including two ex-members of congress who were defeated for opposing the war. Senator Atlee Pomerene may never get within gunshot of the democratic nomination, but Ms entry makes it plain that the bolshevists are going to have a light before they matte way with the remains of Thomas Jeffer son s party. As between Cox and pomerene in their home state, the election figures for 1914 would indicate that the sena tor has some advantage over the gov ernor. In that year, when w nson carried the state by 0.nM over Hughes. Tomerene won for senator by 33.001. while Cox on the same ticket for governor got by with a paltry 6000 votes. and to Miss Julia Palmer, who Is about to go to Alaska as a missionary Mrs. Forrest Fisher has made ar rangements for discussion of current events and an in. cresting programme has been prepared on "What It Cost to Be a Christian."

Lamp and Whetslonc Named as Weapons t'M-d In Figlit Brought On by Money Matters. In defending: a charge of arson on which he Is being; tried in the circuit court. Charles Broadus, colored, con tended that John Perry, colored, is the real offender, saying" that this negro knocked him unconscious and then tried to murder him by setting fire to his house. Perry was found not guilty of assault on Broadus in the circuit court a few days ago and the prosecution maintains that Broadus set fire to his own house in hope of avenging- himself on Perry and. Incidentally, collecting $1000 in surance. The trial opened yesterday befora Circuit Judge Belt in the local court Broadus testified that Perry had robbed him of $112 on July 25, 1919, on which occasion the house at 307 North Sixteenth street was set on fire and some furnishings which were Insured were damaged. Perry ad mitted hitting Broadus and taking $3.40 from him. but justified himself by saying that Broadus had owed him $14.20 for several months and that he was trying to collect the debt. Where did you get $112?" Deputy District Attorney Bernard asked Broadus. "Why. man. It's a poor bootlegger hat can't get $113 these days," re plied the colored man. Broadus was frank about his deals with illicit whisky, but Insisted that he got his money from rich men only. "Ah only sold to attorneys and fel lers what had money," he said. Broadus testified that Perry threw a lamp and whetstone at him before setting fire to the house. He de clared the fight took place in the kitchen and that he ran into the bedroom-where ' he received the blow which knocked him unconscious. "Why did you run Into the bed room?" queried Deputy District At torney, Hammersley. "why didn't you run out the back door where he could not catch you so easily?" L.isten to me ef you had a man chasin' you with a knife and gun you wouldn t take no time pickin' out no doah to go through," answered Broadus. "Ef Ah had kep my mind. Ah would ha' gone right on through the winder in the bedroom." Deputy District ' Attorneys Ham merely and Bernard are conducting the prosecution. Attorney Tom Gar land defending.

Plea of Guilty, Entered in Judge Gatens' Court, Brings Peniten tiary Commitment. Rex Shields, whose record in the juvenile court for petty offenses cov ers many pages, and who Is known to most of the policemen of Portland for recent depredations, was sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary by Presiding Judge Gatens yesterday on hla plea of guilty to an Indictment charging burglary. The chief crimes with which Shields has been charged in the past have been thefts for which numerous cor rective measures have been- applied, both in juvenile and circuit court without apparent success. In sending him to the penitentiary for seven years. Judge Gatens is carrying out his avowed policy of severity with burglars, automobile thieves and highwaymen, which brought one sen tence of 10 years and one of five years last week. Indeterminate sentences are no longer given by the local courts, due to action of the last legislature which amended the law to permit a Judge to fix the exact sentence maximum and STRANDED CRAFT RESCUED Hammond Lifesavers Bring In Two Fishing Boats and Crews.
