Hirte, officially known as convict

March 9. 1920.
Mr. Joseph C. Hirte, Walla Walla.
Dear friend Hirte Your letter re
ceived and I was certainly sorry to
learn that they had taken you back
to Walla Walla.
I will write to the governor as soon
as I get some additional information,
also would be glad to have yoor war
den give me all the facts in his pos
session, if he will, as to why you are
held at Walla Walla, that is. as to
whether or not your return there was
necessitated because of some offense
committed after your return from the
army.
Very truly yours. E. L. FRALEY.
March 9, 1920.
Warden of Walla Walla Penitentiary.
Dear Sir I would respectfully ask
details of Joseph C. Hirte. at present
incarcerated in your penitentiary.
Very truly yours, E. L. FRALEY.
Walla Walla, Mash.
Dear Sir I am in receipt of your
letter of March 9 concerning the case
of Charles Joseph Hirte, our Xo. 6171,
who was returned to this institution
as a parole violator January 10, 1920.
The facts of Hirtes case are about
as follows:
On January 4, 1916, he was released
from this institution on parole, and
violated same on January 29, 1918,
by committing a number of forgeries,
which he admits he did in the city
of Portland. Hirte makes absolutely
no denial as to his guilt in the city
of Portland. You will recall the cor
respondence w-fth you. We also had
more or less ivith the district attor
ney's office, Portland, Or., as well as
with the police department, in which
we asked to be notified in the event
Hirte was not convicted on the
charge pending against him in the
city of Portland. We did express a
desire, however, If he violated the
laws of the state of Oregon, for him
to be tried and convicted there, and
we would file a detainer against him
at the expiration of his time there
for the purpose of returning him to
this institution, and if for any rea
son he was released, inasmuch as
there was no question as to his guilt,
he having admitted that he was
guilty, it was our desire to return
him before he was released from cus
tody in the city of Portland.
Parole Violation Charged.
We had -no official or authentic in
formation that he had joined the
Canadian army, hence we sent a num
ber or escape notices lor his appre
hension. Later on w were advised
that he was to be deported from Can
ada. We at once asked the immigra
tion authorities to hold him for us as
a fugitive from this institution.. I
might say further that up to the
time of his return to this institution
as a parole violator, we did not know
that he had been in the Canadian
army.
It would occur to us that it would
have been a quite natural and proper
thing to have done if you wished to
get him into the Canadian army, to
have first communicated with us and
given us an opportunity to take the
matter up witn the prison board
rather than to have gotten him into
trie army without our knowledge. The
fact of his joining the Canadian army
would not in any way affect his hav
ing violated his parole from this in
stitution prior to the time that he
joined the army.
Trusting this answers your inquiry.
l. am very truly yours.

F. R. THOMAS.
Health, Infant and Child Welfare
and Education Advocated at
Workers Meeting.
"Before more immigrants come- to
this country,' declared Franklin K.
Thomas, head of the sociology de
partment of the Portland center of
the University of Oregon, last night
to the Social Workers' club, "we
ought ta send some sign boards over
seas for distribution. They might
well say, 'The American citizen Is a
pretty good fellow, but is awfully
bashful. Be sure you look him up
and show him a welcome!'"
Mr. Thomas was describing some of
the things organized labor might do
to co-operate with social work and
particularly stressed Americanization
because unions have a better grip on
the workmen of alien extraction.
Some of the other points he empha
sized were public health, feeble-mind-edness,
infant and child welfare and
education.
C. M. Rynerson of the Labor Press
replied by saying that, "a. poor way
to rnake Americans is to beat them
over the head and put them In jail.
That is being tried too much in this
country."
The confidential exchange of all
social service work in the city will
be resumed Friday at the courthouse
with Miss Margaret Creech as sec
retary.
"SQUARE DEAL" PLANNED
PROFITEERING DURING CON
.
VENTIONS TO BE PREVENTED.
Chamber Better, Business Bureau
Guthering Data With Which
to Keep Tab on Pripes.
To make Portland known to the
thousands of visitors who will be
attracted hither this year by the con
ventions that are to meet here as
the "city of the square deal" is the
task which the better business bureau
of the Portland Ad club has assumed.
The work of gathering Information
by which prices charged for subsist
ence and refreshments will be checked
has been under way for some time,
and woe be to the place that makes
increases in prices not warranted by
conditions of the season.
The movement has the backing of
the principal business houses of the
city. Profiteering in prices for ac
commodations, meals, automobile
trips or anything else that the visitors
may purchase will be punished.
District Attorney Evans has ap
proved the plans and will designate
a deputy to work with the bureau in
the event that there should be any
flagrant violations of the law. The
good name of the city and it9 reputa
tion for hespitallty will be protected
by every possible means.

CHINA WANTS 0. S. GOODS
OBIEXTAL TRADE OPPORTUN
ITY AWAITS AMERICA. .
Dan. Malarkey Amazed at Spirit of
Friendship and Welcome Ex
tended Visitors Across Pacific.
That China, rapidly awakening un
der the stimulus of contact with west
ern civilization, will shortly become
one of the great consumers from the
world's market basket and that Amer
ican trade is given a wonderful op
portunity to profit thereby was the
statement of Dan J. Malarkey, who
with, Mrs. Malarkey returned Sunday
from a three months' tour of the
orient. The trip was made largely
for the benefit of Mr. Malarkey's
health and he returned to his office
yesterday feeling exceedingly fit
after the absence.
"The American business man and
American goods are welcomed in
China as are the men and the prod
ucts of no other country on earth,"
Mr. Malarkey said. "Largely because
of the recent action of the senate on
the Shantung matter the Chinese look
upon America as a friend, and they
are apxlous to show their friendship
by welcoming American businessmen
and American goods.
"I talked with many Chinese and
with many Americans In the orient
and was convinced that an unusual
opportunity awaits this country in the
way of oriental trade If we but grasp
It. One thing that I had already fre
quently heard and read before . was
greatly impressed upon my mind, and
that was that American shippers
must study Chinese methods and Chi
nese needs and supply the goods
which they want In the way they
want them, instead of trying to force
down their throats goods which have
proved popular in Kansas or Okla
homa or some other such place. A
great need at this time is for addi
tional American ships on the oriental
runs. I felt before my departure that
the shipping board had been neglect
ful of the west coast and favorable
to the east and south In its handling
of vessels, and I was further Im
pressed with this upon our trip. Amer
ican vessels are much needed to car
ry American goods and we should
not have to send our goods across the
Pacific via Japanese or British bot
toms.
The three-months trip enabled Mr.
and Mrs. Malarkey to cover a wide
territory, stops being made at Hono
lulu, Japan, several points in China
and in Corea and time being taken
for trips by rail through Corea, China
and Japan.

PARIS. April 12. Debate in the
chamber of deputies on now taxes
began today. Deputy Auriol.. social

Among the fresh taxes Is one of 10

kept. If it should prove otherwise; if
