FREEDOM ON BAIL ASKED ENLISTED MEN DECIDE Truck Manager Says Financial Trouble Turned Head, Ex- -plaining Departure. Effort of Small Clique to Inject Partisanship Into Organization Is Decisively Defeated. G COS J COMIvIaNDER " 7 Wis ' f ' if' ' is, '' : TV ' ; ' ' I have returned to Portland to face my accusers. At no time did I threaten to fight extradition, and I have returned voluntarily to fight any charge which may be placed against me. I am absolutely confi dent that I can prove my innocence." This was the determined expres sion of August Junge, auto truck dealer, as he stepped from a Northern Pacific train early Monday night In custody of Deputy Sheriff Schirmer. Junge, who was apprehended at Scot land. S. D., after leaving Portland three weeks ago Monday, faces two embezzlement charges which have been filed in the district court. The charges grew out of his business dealings prior to his sudden departure from Portland. Mrs. Junge was at the Union sta tion to meet her husband as he stepped from the train, and she ac companied him to the county Jail where he was taken in default of 120,000 in aggregate bail on the two criminal charges. Wife Allowed Conference. The wife of the auto truck dealer was allowed a private conference with him, after which Junge an nounced arrangements would be made the first thing this morning to pro cure his freedom on bonds. Since Junge was first apprehended In South Dakota more than a week ago, his wife has been assisting his attorney, K. V. LIUlefield, In arranging some of his local business affairs, and it is understood that plans for procur ing the bail have already been com pleted. "Although I have been advised by my attorney not to go into this whole business with any reporter, I want to say right now that I have no fear of the future," Junge asserted with a smile of confidence playing about his lips. "You mark my word, that before this thing is settled, there will be a number of supposed busi ness men in Portland mighty sorry that I am back. There are several of them who have been bemoaning my absence and claiming I fleeced them, who wish they might never eee me again." Absconding; Story Causes Langh. Junge laughed in apparent good na ture when informed that men who had had dealings with him had re ported he absconded with a sum ranging from $60,000 to $100,000. "If my business affairs were in "such awful shape why didn't they force me through bankruptcy?" he queried. "I tell you .honestly that when my affairs are straightened out I will be left with assets of . nearly $25,000, providing ' I get a square deal." Junge left Portland on the morning of March 29, about 24 hours after 36 trucks had disappeared from the sales room of the Diamond T auto truck agency, of which Junge was the head. Most of these trucks were re covered later, a majority of them at Vancouver. .Liio iiuuiu I'l. ilio ii UL.no a i. Van couver resulted in the arrest of Frank L. Waller, Ben K. Walling, D. G. Lebb and J. S. Lebb, local loan brokers, and David A. Pepp, a truck dealer, on charges of grand larceny. Loan Brokers Blamed. Upon his arrival in Portland last night, Junge sought to fix the blame for most of his financial entangle ments to loan brokers who charged him usurious rates of interest. He jsald he bad been compelled to pay as high as 45 per cent Interest in order to procure money for his busi ness. 'When this entire case Is sifted out it will bs found absolutely that 1 did not know those trucks had been taken from the agency salesrooms until late Sunday morning," said .lunge. "Both my wife, myself and Mr. Llttlefield made every effort all day Sunday and Sunday night to lo cate those trucks, and I was in con ference with Mr. Littlef ield for more than two hours the Sunday night be fore 1 left Portland. "It will also be shown that those men who took the trucks had no legal right to do so. I had borrowed money from them on the trucks but none of the notes are due yet. They had ab solutely no right? to claim title to the trucks until after I had defaulted in the payment of those notes." Names Are Withheld. Junge asserted that others, who heretofore have asserted they were 4 losers in his financial transactions, will be found to be responsible for his difficulties. He would not make public the names of these persons he says will be Implicated. Junge could give no reason why he left Portland so suddenly, other than he just lost his head and took the first train out of Portland to get away from his financial troubles. He denied he had traveled under any alias, but said ha used his right name everywhere he went. He said he left Portland with just 200 and arrived at Scotland, S. D., with less than $80 In his pockets. His wife's people live at Scotland and be visited with them during the time he stayed there. He said he was compelled to borrow $200 from his father-in-law to pay a Scotland lawyer for his services, while his wife's- people :-l?o posted the $1000 in bonds to Insuro his release pend ing his return to Portland. Deputy Confirm Story. Deputy Sheriff Schirmer sustantl ated Junge In all his statements rel ative to his operations in South Da kota. Telegrams which Junge is said to have sent to. Portland in which he announced he would fight extradition were sent by a South Dakota deputy sheriff without Junge's authori'ty, said Schirmer. Junge made no effort at any time to elude officers in t'outh Dakota and announced his willingness to return to Portland without a legal fight as soon as he learned criminal complaints had been filed against him. "He was the best prisoner with whom 1 ever traveled," said Schirmer. "I never had one bit of trouble from the time I first met him at Scotland until we arrived here. He seemed as anxious to get home as I was." I couldn't say now whether or not he had a pair of handcuffs about him," said Junge with a smile. "It really seemed good to see somebody from Portland. Public Statement Probable. Junge said he probably would give out an extended statement covering his entire financial troubles after he has a conference with his attorney. Although he was apprehended more thas a week ago Monday night is the first time he slept behind cell bars since he made his sudden exit from Portland more than three weeks ago. r 5h f - ft . . t . ...j .... -0 LOOK!

TO One You tli Shot in. Fierce Combats In Londonderry Clubs and Rocks Are Weapons. . BELFAST, Ireland, April 20. There was renewed rioting in Londonderry Sunday night between Unionists and Sinn Feiners, the police clubbing both impartially. Revolvers were used freely. A youth was shot in the lung and lies in-a critical condition. The fight ing was so 'fierce at Carlisle bridge that pedestrians were unable to re turn to their homes. The bitterness of the fighting be tween Unionists and Sinn Feiners led police to Intervene with fixed bayo nets. The combatants were driven into their own quarters. The police were heavily stoned by the mob and made several bayonet charges. They cleared the streets about midnight. All suspected persons were searched for firearms. Only one arrest was made, -however, in the case of a youth with a pocketful of Iron bolts. As the result of Saturday's rioting more than 60 persons were treated in the infirmary. Many injured declined medical attention. Londonderry was quiet today. Peo- Under auspices of Sumner Women's Relief Corps No. 21, three soloists from New York City, Florence Otis, soprano; Florence Austin, violinist, and Joseph Martin, pianist, appeared in the first of a eeries of two con certs Monday In the ballroom of the Multnomah hotel. The audience was so large that it taxed the seating ca pacity of the hall. The three soloists are In the west on tour and are managed by the Na tional Society for Better Education, New York. Each soloist is a finely selected specialist and their cultured programmes give much pleasure. Miss Otis has a sweet, charming. finely trained soprano voice and it was heard to advantage In such numb ers as: "I've Been Roaming" (Horn), 'In a Boat" (Grieg), "The Maid of Cadiz" (Bizet) and "Amid the Roses" (Ward -Stephens.) Miss Austin is a violinist whose art Is a personal message to her hearers. She plays with exquisite feeling, has a large violin tone for a young wo man and fine technique. Her "Hymn to the Sun." (Rimsky-Korsakoff ) and "Second Polonaise Brllliante," (Wien iawski) were brilliantly rendered. Mr. Martin, a piano student with Capriccioso," (Mendelssohn) and "Noc- the famous Emil Sauer, is much gifted and plays with superb ability. His rendition of the Andante and Rondo turne, opus 27, No. 2," (Chopin-Wil-hemji) were notably excellent. Organization of "Oppressed pies' of All Nations Aim C ferences Called Slay 15. FIUME, -April 20. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Gabriel d'Annunzio Is forming an anti-league of nations, consisting of minority elements In all countries of "oppressed peoples" which will be called "the league of Flume." He has invited a conference here on May 15. Delegates are expect ed from Egypt, Ireland. Turkey, Per sia, Montenegro, Hungary and India. Leon Kochnitmiky, D Annunzio's secretary for foreign affairs," said to the Associated Press: "We will include all peoples which the peace conference has put under the heel of peoples of other races. "We will include the Germans of the Saar region, of German-Austria and Danzig, and also the Turka and Egyptians, certainly the Irish, the Hindus, and-the peoples ef Dalmatia, Croatia, Montenegro, Malta. Morocco. Algeria, Syria, Palestine. Cuba. Porto Rico and Panama. The new league will be a great league of democracy, based on the principles of self-determination and communism, but with out the atrocities of bolshevlsm. D Annunzlo has used the good points of bolshevism in his constitution and disregarded the bad ones. The poet believes in a great national spirit, but bolshevism would kill this. We have chosen for the league a flag with a red field and gold serpent, signifying revolution and eternity." MUSIC LECTURE HEARD MRS. L. VAX OGLE RELATES STORIES OF OPERAS.

SLAYER RELIGIOUS MANIAC Fanatic Always Armed Finds Pleasure in Hearing Sermons. NEW TORK, April 20. Thomas W. Simpkln, who killed Dr. James Wright Markoe In St. George's Episcopal church Sunday, was revealed by the police today as a religious fanatic who took pleasure in hearing sermons in different churches but who always went armed in rear of being returned to the insane asylum from which he had escaped. Arraigned in court, he was held without bail for hearing Wednesday. Mr. O'Shaughnessy. assistant district attorney, said he had obtained from Simpkin a voluntary confession that he had come to the city to kill J. P. Morgan, but he found he was dead and that he then planned to kill G. B. Miller of Duluth, ex-representative in congress. 'I am sorry for what I did," Simp Kin was quoted as saying. 'I am only sorry for Dr. Markoe's wife. If had. a chance, I'd do it all over again. He denied believing in anarchy say. mg: All anarchists are fools. Efforts to arouse war-time class feeling in the ranks of Portland post of the American Legion met with sweeping defeat Monday night when James O. Convlll, ex-captaln, finished 3-to-l winner over Martin L. Kimmel. who was discharged from the army with grade of corporal, at an election for post commander attended by more ex-enlisted men than ex-officers. The vote, which was 186 to 63, was considered a rebuke to an apparent effort of a small clique In the organi sation to inject partisanship based on t former rank into the affairs of the post. Although Mr. Kimmel made a vigorous campaign he was not as well known as Mr. Convlll for activity on behalf of the American Legion in af fairs during the past year. The new post commander has been in charge of employment work for ex-service men since the conclusion of the war and was the representative of Oregon at a recent meeting in Washington, D. C at which legionnaires from all over the United States presented their views to congress on the bonus ques tion. Kimmel Against Partisanship. In an address to the post after the vote was taken but before the result was announced Mr. Kimmel set at rest the belief that he had entered into the campaign from a partisan standpoint. saying that those who sought to make n issue of previous rank in ecrvlce did so without his sanction. Win or lose, I intend to rive the same degree of support to Portland post, and my friends will be found earnest, loyal members with one aim only the welfare of the legion in mind, regardless of the decision," he declared, to a heavy round of applause. The only competition for another office in the post outside of the exec utive committee was for the position of vice-commander. James R. Bain defeated Jerrold Owen by a vote of 161 to 82. Though the issue was not drawn in that case by friends on either side, it happened that the win ner was an ex-corporal, the loser an ex-officer. James W. Craw for Adjutant. James W. Crawford was elected ad jutant. Merle Campbell finance offi cer, Edgar E. Piper historian and Rev. John W. Byrd chaplain, without op position. Cassius R. Peck, retiring post com mander, led the nominees for the ex ecutive committee with 211 votes John A. Beckwith, retiring adjutant, was second with 208. The three other committeemen were Arthur M. Geary, 13o votes; Frank S. Severs, 123 votes. and Thomas R. Mahoney, 116 votes. Losers in the executive committee race were Arthur Bryan. 'W. A. Ek wal, James S. Gay Jr. and Ralph E. Norton. The officers will be Installed at the meeting the first Monday in May. Franklin F. Korell. nominated for the executive committee, resigned on en tering the political field and was not voted on. Rev.- John W. Byrd was nominated to replace Edgar E. Piper, who has been nominated as historian Removal of offices of Portland post of the legion from the Liberty temple to rooms 420 and 421 Morgan build ing was announced.

Mrs. Louise Van Ogle, a member of the music department of the faculty of the University of Washington, ap peared Monday night in the assembly room of the Multnomah hotel, in the first of a series of two lectures on musical subjects, under auspices of Uie MacDowell club. She lectured and played her piano presentations with such personal charm that she cap tured the affecttons of her audience. Mrs. Van Ogle is tall and stately and has quite- an attractive person ality. Her vocal delivery Is fluent and her accent pleasantly English of the kind possessed by E. H. Soth ern.
