HEART PIGS BRING
PRINCE ID PORTUND
Carol of Roumania Is Guest
of Samuel Hill.
FARMING HOLDS INTEREST
ROUMANIAN" PRINCE WHO VISITED IN PORTLAND YESTERDAY
AJVD TWO OF THE MEN WHO ARE ENTERTAINING HIM.
Marriage With Daughter of Com
moner Annuled, Heir to Throne
Tours World Trying to Forget.
Portland was visited by a real
prince yesterday when Prince Carol,'
heir to the throne of Roumania,
stopped In the city on his world-wide
tour made in the effort to forget his
sad marriage to Mile. Jeanne Lam
brino, Roumanian girl, which was
annulled by his parents because the
bride was not of royal blood.
No, he didn't wear hose instead of
trousers and the" story books lied
when they said that a real prince al
ways goes around with a crown on
his head and a scepter in his hip
pocket.
This prince wTre a Palm Beach suit,
smoked cigarettes and talked about
ordinary things like .agriculture and
mowing machines and commerce.
Prince Won't Pom.
"No, I won't pose," declared the
prince in perfect English, giving a
gesture with both hands decidedly not
English, as he stepped from his spe
cial car at the Union station to face
a battery of cameras. "You can get
me as I walk along," he told the pho
tographers. The prince declared that his visit
to this country was entirely unoffi
cial, but admitted that he was inter
ested in building up the commercial
relations between his country and
other countries of the world as a
phase of the rebuilding of his country
following the war. i
He also declared himself to be in
tensely interested In agriculture, as
his nation was pre-eminently a nation
of farmers, and announced his inten
tion of stopping off at the University
of Wisconsin at Madison for the pur
pose of studying implements in use
here in agricultural work.
He Owna 700 Acres.
"I am a farmer myself," he said, re
ferring to his 700-acre farm in Rou
mania which he is now developing and
which forms his principal income.
He -declined to discuss the present
situation in Europe or to speak about
the present successes of the bolshevik
armies,
"I know nothing about that," he
declared, "as I have been away from
home for the last six months." He
also - denied that the present hasty
voyage which he Is making for home
was in any way connected or influ
enced by the advance of the bolshe
viki.
Carol Is Some Democrat.
The prince is an unassuming sort of
. a chap and there is an utter lack of
gold braid and aloofness usually as
sociated with European royal fam
ilies. He was dressed simply. He
wore an ordinary palm beach suit, not
overly well pressed, an ordinary four-
in-hand tie, a soft shirt and low shoe
Except for his blonde mustache he
is not greatly different in appearance
from many Americans met with every
day
There was no "wistful" expression
about the mouth or "tragedy" in the
eyes which the story books would lead
one to look for in a man trying to
forget. There was rather the enthu
siasm and curiosity of a boy who is
seeing many new things and is inter
ested in everything.
The prince lacks the military poise
expected of a member of a royal fam
ily and especially of a man who, like
him, commanded the troops of his
country during the war with Ger
many. He walks with something ap
proaching a "slouch."
Wreck Delays Train.
The special car bearing the prince
and his party was late, the regular
train from San Francisco to which it
was attached having been delayed by
the wreck of a freight train on the

the royal party. Right Samuel Hill, who accompanied the party from
San rancisco and who assisted in bowing the prince about Portland,
with Mile. Lambrino. The marriage
followed August 27, 1918. '
Owing to the fact that the girl was
not of royal blood It was declared to
be contrary to the laws of the country
and at the instigation of Ferdinand,
king of Roumania, and Queen Marie,
the courts issued a decree annulling
the marriage. There had previously
been some talk of causing the succes
sion to pass on to the next son.
Duchess Once Talked Of.
Previous to the 'war there had been
some negotiations for a marriage be
tween Prince Carol and Grand Duchess
Olga, oldest daughter of the czar ol
Russia.
One big step which. has been 'made
by the ruling family of Roumania in
restoring their country to prosperity
after the ravages of the recent war
was the action taken in dividing up
the big estates among the actual ten
ants of the eoil. The result has been
that 80 per cent of the peasants of the

cific line. The train arrived at 11:50
and the prince and his party were
taken to the Arlington club for lunch.
Afterwards they were taken for a
trip out on the Columbia river high
way. Besides the prince the party in
cluded Minister Nicholas Filodor, Col
onel N. Condiscu, LJeutenant-Colonel
Condiescu, General Gavanescu, Sec
retary of Legations R. DJievara, Cap
tain Conrad Lazar and F. Postmantir.
Samuel Hill, railroad man, financier,
good roads booster and self-styled
farmer, accompanied the royal party
from San Francisco.
Trip Taken on Highway.
The visitors were accompanied on
the trip out the highway by Mr. Hill,
Samuel C. Lancaster, who had charge
of the construction of the highway,
J. C. Potter, Mr. Hill's secretary, and
Charles R. Bannerman, special agent
of the department of state at Wash
ington. D. C. Mr. Bannerman is ac
companying the royal party across
the continent, having joined them at
San Francisco.
The party was taken up the high
way to Horsetail falls. All the
visitors expressed themselves as be
ing immensely pleased with the
wonderful scenic views obtainable
from various points en route, the
prince declaring that he was "de
lighted beyond measure."
Upon their return to the city, the
prince and his party were taken to
the University club. The" prince ad
mitted that he was somewhat fa
tigued from the trip. He was taken
to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus
A. Dolph where tea was served with
Mrs. Dolph and her daughter, Mrs.
Edward Clark, of Philadelphia, as
hostesses. .
Following the brief stop in Port
land the party left for the east over
the North Bank road at 7:10 last
night, going by way of Spokane. The
scheduled trip to Seattle was can
celed, it was announced, owing to
the delay en route to Portland, as the
prtnce is anxious to cross the conti
nent and sail for home as speedily as
possible.
. A group of former Roumanians,
now citizens of Portland, were at the
Union station yesterday to greet the
prince. Among them was Adolph
Feldstein. furniture dealer of this
city, now a citizen of the United
States, who was born in Bucharest,
Roumania.
Voyage to Make Him Forget.
The prince and his party arrived in
San Francisco aboard the steamer
- Korea Maru last Thursday. He had
previously visited Egypt, India and
Japan, departing from there for the
United- States. The purpose of the
trip is declared to have been to make
the prince forget his unfortunate mar
riage. '
It was while the prince, who is 27
years of age, was resting with his
regiments following the disastrous
retreat before the German assault in
1318 that he nflt and fell in love
own land. This is compared to GO per
cent in France and a still lower per
centage for the United States.
This fact that the peasants of Rou
mania own their own land was given
out by Sam Hill, who recently visited
that country, as one reason why the
Roumanians might prove a etrong
bulwark against bolshevlsm.
Carol Resembles Wales.
Many people yesterday remarked
the likeness in figure between Prince
Carol and the prince of Wales of Eng
land. This is believed to be due to
the fact that the two ruling families
are related. Queen Marie of Rou
mania is a granddaughter of Queen
Victoria. Some say she is the most
beautiful woman in all Europe. .
Previous to the war the revenues
of the king of Roumania amounted to
approximately $230,000. These reve
nues, however, were to a great extent
from the family estates and other
property, much of which was . de
stroyed, or at least temporarily so
by the war.
The revenues of Prince Carol are
almost entirely derived from his 700
acre farm, and it is declared that at
the present time they cannot amount
to more than $10,000 a year, probably
less.
DANCING BARGE RAIDED
Deputy Sheriffs Seize Samples of
Drink on Craft.
The Bluebird, Montrose Ringler's
new dancing barge, was the scene of
a raid Saturday night when Deputy
Sheriffs LaMont and Mullenhour ar
rested three men on charges of being
drunk, and took samples of a drink
which they reported was being sold on
the barge, if the drink prt.ves to con
tain more than the legal percentage
of alcohol, It is said that Mr. Ringler
will be asked to. explain to Sheriff
Hurlburt.
The Bluebird has been the object of
investigation by the women's protec
tive bureau since its initial trip a few
weeks ago. The public dances held
three times a week failed to meet
with the approval of the operatives,
who said that the girls did not wear
enough clothing, and that "spooning"
was carried beyond the conventional
limits.
The John Robinson circus reached
Portland bright and early yesterday
morning, 'and will give two perform
ances today and tomorrow. The ar
rival was witnessed by many persons,
many of whom followed the first
wagons to the "lot" where one by
one the tents arose, as if by magic.
Until the entire "white-topped city"
was set up.
The first tent to be set up was the
cookhouse or commissary. Breakfast
over, work was resumed on the "big
top."
A noticeable thing about the equip
ment of this attraction was the novel
labor and rime-saving - devices. The
wagons are hauled by tractors, sav
ing , over 300 head of horses. The
tents are erected by the aid of huge
windlasses attached to the rear of
these tractors. The stakes are all
driven by electric stake-drivers. The
tents are rolled and unrolled on large
spools, operated by gasoline engines.
and to which are attached gigantic
wringers, used in the event of wet
weather.
Performances will be given both
oaye at 2 and 8 P. M., the doors to
the menageries opening at 1 and 7,
allowing one hour to inspect the wild
animal departments and side shows.
A parade will be given Mondav
morning only, reaching the center of
the city at 11 A. M., via the followingr
route: Overton to Twentieth to
Washington to Alder to Third to
Burnside to Sixth to Everett to Twenty-second
to Pettygrove to grounds.
The show grounds are located at
Twenty-fifth and Raleigh streets.
BURGLARS REAP HARVEST
Baby's Bank Looted; Woman Loses
Two Xlghties, Five Silk Chemises.
T. H. Gill, 25 North Sixth street,
told the police yesterday that he had
been robbed . of a brown purse con
taining $130 in cash, a Moose lodge
receipt and a health certificate.
Gill suspected a man whom he
named. The police are making an
investigation
Two silk night gowns and five silk
chemises were included in the loot
taken from the room of Mrs. A. F.
Burch, in the Euclid hotel, Eighteenth
and Washington streets, according to
a repprt she made yesterday. The
burglar also took- four pairs of silk
hose, a wrist watch and two dresses.
The home of C. L. Meade, 714 Tilla
mook street, was entered and ran
sacked by a burglar who took $1.50
In dimes from a baby's bank. The
thief "jimmied'. 'the dining room win

preached yesterday morning at the
White Temple on "The Man Who Does
Things."
He took for his text Acts 16:3-10,
which reads: "When he had Been
the vision, straightway he sought to
go forth into Macedonia, concluding
that God had called him to preach
the gospel to them." Among other
things, he said:
'The man who accomplishes the
roost with the gifts with which God
has endowed him will have at least
three qualifications. Let us define
these as 'The Three Vs."
First Is Vision.
"First he will have a vision. The
man who does things must first of
all have a clear conception of the
mission to which God has called him.
God Almighty has sent every one of
us into the world for a purpose. When
man once knows what Gods will
for him is, then he- may be sure if
he will do it ne is bound to succeed.
"A young man or a young woman
who is going to accomplish some
thing worth while needs to get i
vision of the work to be done.
am not talking about, visionary peo
pie; I am not talking about the peo
pie who aspire and aspire and never
perspire in order to make something
transpire.
We have Tlentv of neoDle who
simply aspire but never do anything
until they expire. Emerson said,
Hitch your chariot to a star.' Too
many young people hitch their chariot
to a garbage wagon.
Voice Will Be Heard. '
"Second,- he will hear a voice. A
voice called the apostle into Macedo
nia. The little church at the country
crossroads has just as big a field
as the First Baptist church, for 'the
field is the world.' Jesus Christ came
not to save Portland merely he did
not come to save any man : !one. He
came to seek and to save the world
"If we are going to do things for
Goa, we must hear the voice of hu
manity 'crying for Christ. There is
a cry in the human soul for perfec
tlon; there is a cry for pleasure; there
is a cry for perpetuity: Jesus Christ
and Christ alone could answer and
satisfy that cry.
"You cannot satisfy the hunger of
a lost world for perfection of char
acter by giving it wealth or worldly
honor, or the philosophy of reason
any more than you can satisfy a baby
crying for milk by giving It a milk
ticket.
He Will Have Volition.
"Third, he will have volition. He
must have the manhood to respond.
"Paul answered the vision and the
voice with the best he had. He gave
himself and all his powers to the
accomplishment of his work. A man
may give his money ' and still not
give much. - A man may give his
prayers and still not prevail. A man
may give a song and still not make
any sacrifice. The holiest, the best
gift that man can bestow upon the
world is himself.
'Nothing is accomplished in this
world without the sacrifice of self.
No great musical composition was
ever written without the author put
ting his very life blood into it. N
great oration or sermon was ever
delivered into which the speaker did
not put himself. A man must open
his mouth and throw himself into it.
THISTLE WARXIXG IS GIVEX
Thorny Bush Does Xot Bear Sweet
Fruit, Says Rev. Mr. Bennett.
"Figs and Thistles" was the topic
of Rev. George H. Bennett's sermon
at the Patton Methodist church yes-
erday. He said: "With pointed
irony Jesus inquired, 'Do men gather
grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"
He would teach consistency. The
thistle is a symbol of evil. It is
widely distributed, and of 500 spe-
ies. It is an aggressive, bristling
eed, harsh and repelling like some
people. But the thistle-down is one
the most ingenious and beautiful
works of nature, employed in seed
distribution. Thus, in both nature
and morals, beauty and genius are
often prostituted to perpetuating par
asites and evils. The fig is a fruit
value and numbers 300 species-
It has a prominent place in biblical
history, and is a symbol of benefi
cence.
"It would seem strange to find gold
en figs growing on thistles, which
dorn so many back-yards but why
ot7 They belong- to wholly differ-
nt families of plants. Burbank him
self could not graft a""Iig on a thistle.
Christ teaches a similar difference
exists between good and evil, and we
are to do no evil, thinking good will
come of it. Yet some lawless persons
xpect the thorny bush of selfishness
o drop sweet fruits of charity. There
is no hypocrisy among figs and this
tles but there often is among men.
t is a law of nature and morals,
Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap.' "
MENACE IX EDUCATION' SEEX
Minister Avers Ideals Are Disap
pearing In Passion for Pleasure.
Modern education is held to be a
menace to the world by Rev. John
G. Inkster, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church of Victoria, B. C,
who spoke on that topic at the First
Presbyterian church here last night.
The press of the nation, one of the
greatest educators of the times, he
also declared to be a menace, because
it should be free and honest and in
his opinion it was neither, in many
cases.
Quotations from Senator Harding's
speech to the editors were read and
praised, great hope for the future
of the nation being found in such
declarations by a presidential can
didate as "There is sure progress for
a simple living, reverent people, fear
ing God and loving righteousness. It
is good to look back to make sure
of the way righteous mothers taught
and then face the front with renewed
faith. America needs a baptism of
righteousness and a new consecration
in morality."
Among the greatest menaces to
education in morality the speaker
held to be the passion for pleasure.
Ideals, he declared", are disappearing.
MAXY AT SERVICES IX PARK
Dean R. T. T. Hicks, St. Stephen's
Cathedral, Delivers Sermon.
Several hundred people attended the
open-air services held yesterday aft
ernoon at the city park under th
auspices of the City Federation of
Churches. Dean R. T. T. Hicks- of
St. Stephen's cathedral delivered the
sermon.
"Seeing and Being Jesus to the
World" was the topic of his talk
He chose for his text, "Sir, we would
see Jesus," from John 12:21. He said,
referring to the text, "This was the
request made by certain Greeks of
Philip many centuries ago. A similar
request is made by all classes and
conditions of people today. The great
desire of mankind is to see Jesus and
something of his life and work as
preached by the church today.
Many have gone to philosophers,
past and present, and to other sources
with the hope of getting a glimpse
of the Christ, but their request has
not been granted. They have looked
for him in places where he was not
to be found; they have followed cunningly-devised
tables and isms of all
kinds. The object of life is to see
and be Jesus."

A New Week in the
OLD CREEDS HELD LACKING
Religious Faiths Must Ever Be Cast
in Xew Forms, Says Minister
Dr. w. x. Meeaveen preached on
Mental Journeys" at the First Con
gregational church yesterday morn
ing. "Old creeds will not suffice to
tell the story of modern faith. Re
ligious faith must ever be cast in
new forms. The schemes of reli
gious thought outlined by Augustine
and Luther and-Calvin and Edwards
are no longer adequate. The men
themselves are worthy of our remem
brance. But their schemes of thought
are like antiquated maps," said Dr.
McElveen.
Continuing, he said: "As men grow
in intelligence they revise and re
state their science. The stars and
the flowers remain the same, but we
have a new astronomy and a new
botany. Old tools and old books pass
away. The heterodoxy of yesterday
becomes the orthodoxy of today. The
radicalism of a century ago is the
conservatism of today. Because hu
man life shares in that mysterious
movement we call progress, religion
must take on new phases, use new
forces and state new ideas of the
truth.
"Thus each generation receives an
incomplete work from its predecessor
