TOE HORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 VICE STILL BIP1T ASSERTS REFORMER Gambling, Liquor Sales and J : Other Evils Found. PROBE DONE IN SECRET i I Rev. Henry X. Pringle", Assistant t Superintendent International j (Reform Board, Reports. v: WASHINGTON. D. C, May 20. Rev. Henry N. Pringle, assistant superin tendent of the International reform board, which means first lieutenant toj Dr. Wilbur Fisk Crafts, has re turned here for a few days from a 'crusade against vice in New York city, York and Harrisburgr, Pa., Hoi yoke, Alass., and other northern and eastern communities. He found much evidence of gambling-, selling: liquor an other evils and-reported some of them to the city authorities. Mr. Pringle Is the secret service man of the crafts organization. He co-operates with enforcement officers or uplift or reform associations or goes, at it single-handed, just as the occasion demands. Loaded down with visible testimony of all sorts of gam bllng implements, lottery tickets, race-horse wagers, apartment-house red-light centers and llduor traffick ing, he is ready to go to court and prove that despite the prohibition laws the country reeks with wicked ness and crime. v I Lawlessness Is Reported. . In New York, Mr. Pringle said, he found everything: very "close" and difficult to open up, but underneath the veneer of good behavior, boot legging, gambling and other evils run rampant. He explained that af terj 20 years of sleuthing against Im morality and illicit liquor traffickers, he. is an expert at uncovering lawlessness. Mr. Pringle has a letter from Judge Iienesaw Mountain Landis, denounc ing baseball wagers and pools. "Gambling' is rampant in this coun try." said Mr. Pringle today. "More than 2100 persons in the United States are employed In the manufacture of unlawful gaming devices, 2300 are engaged as traveling salesmen in selling such goods, and about 88,100 persons act as keepers of gaming houses, bookmakers, pool sellers and other positions, as professional gam blers whereby they derive a living by exploiting the popular propensity foe wagering. Another consideration Is the division of the $400,000,000 among nearly 30 classes of gamblers and the papers, which collectively re ceive this huge sum annually from - the patrons. It haa bfcen estimated that about half of it goes to the backers of the turf. ! Liquor Sale Declared Large. 'New York is not half as wide open as f Holyoke," declared Mr. Pringle, "but there is lots of liquor sold there. I fonnd one division in New York wh,ere you coul go and meet women or j take women and spend your momey freely. The understanding was that we would foot the-bills of the women wh'om we met there, and that usually meant 3 to J6 each to start with. This is a place where men are solicited by women.' Any sort of drinks can be had. ' have the name of the proprietor of this establishment and its street number.. It will be given with others to a special committee on vice. This Is one of many and the drinks in such dives cost double what you pay for them elsewhere. In a recent letter to Mr. Pringle, Judge Landis said: "I am interested in ; the suppression of gambling by members of the baseball pools. In deed this is one of the most vicious influences in our social life today, for the reason that it draws money from those who can least afford to lose it.' Inladdltion to this, it is most offen sively crooked. In that it is so organ ized and administered that it simply amounts to fleecing the victim." After examining about 20 systems of 'baseball pools in eight states," de clared Mr. Pringle, "I estimate that th scores of systems known to exist in . the United States are collecting about 315,000,000 annually from the players."- ! " gates from all parts of the state were present at the first annual conven tton of the Oregon High School Press association held on the university campus yesterday. As a result of this first meeting a permanent organiza tlon was effected, officers for the coming year elected and definite plans laid for continuance of the sessions.

The programme was in the form of dance advertisements whien gave op portunity ror various pupils to ex- niDit individual talents in specialties. and included two ballet numbers in which the ensemble work was note worthy. The first of these was "My Lady and Her Dressing Table," in which a group of clever little maids por trayed in delightful pantomime the various - appurtenances of milady's dressing table suddenly come to life. A dream fairy, a string of vari colored jewels, a powder puff, candle sticks and fascinating spirits of per fume danced and played prettily. Smart little French maids, besides milady and my lord, completed the cast. w A very interesting number- and one given an effeotfve dramatic treat ment waa an original interpretation of "Le Cygne" in a series of attrac tive parts In which is unfolded the story of the princess whose love for the prince led her to be turned into a swan and later to seek her death in the lake.

Phone your want ad to Th Ore- gojviaa. Main 7070 Ajtomatio 660-95. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright by the New York Evening; Post, inc. .fuDiisnea oy Arrangement- WASHINGTON. D. C, May 20. (Special.) There have been two events in Washington . this week which are essential signboards of fundamental tendency. The first and most obvious Is our refusal to Inter fere in Silesia. -' This step marks the delimitation of America's new policy in foreign af fairs. We are going to ask to "sit in." in fact, we are going to press our right to '"sit in" in all matters as to which America has an interest. The theory of our new policy is hat America's interests and America a rights go hand in hand, but where America's interests and America's rights end and in those matters where we have no rights we are going 10 avoid entanglement. - Broadly speaking, America's new policy is that we have an Interest in every economic matter taken up by the supreme council, but that we have no interest in any political matter af fecting Europe taken up by the su preme council. Distinction Made Clear. The illlustration of this new policy is now complete. We had an Interest in the economic aspect of the German reparations' and therefore we took a hand. We had no interest in tne Dure. ly political subject of the boundary between Poland and Germany, and thArsfnrn wa declined to take a band This is a complete picture of the new policy. 1 Of course, the place where the line is drawn is more or less arbitrary, We say. for example, that we have an interest in the amount of export duty which the allies put upon German- made goods because that export duty will have an economic effect on every person- in 'America who directly or in directly buys from or sells to Ger many. On the other hand, our post tion .is that the boundary between Poland and Germany is wholly a Eu ropean political matter in which we have no interest. Therefore wer stay oyt of it. Friends of the Wilson, foreign pro gramme and the friends of th league of nations will, of course, say and say in truth that this is an arbitrary line. If five years from now the boundary between Poland and Ger many should give rise to a European war, and if that war should take the course which the recent war took and should ultimately involve us, then we would have an interest in it. The answer of those who are responsible for our new foreign policy would ad mlt freely that this is all true, but the line must be drawn somewhere and that for the present they draw at the point illustrated by the two incidents I have rec'tes. Old Policy Reversed. The second episode wbich is a sign board of fundamental policy is Presi dent Harding's refusal for the pres ent to send troops to West Virginia This illustrates a vital quality of President Harding s mind. It Is .his disposition to act on second thought rather than on first thought. When the governor of West Virginia and the senators from West Virginia and various other representatives of West Virginia and Kentucky, all in a rather excited and insistent frame of mtnd. demanded federal troops, the first thing, the easiest thing and the most obvious thing, was to send the troops. President Harding's refusal to do so suggests a policy which goes back ward from what has been the ten tency for at least two decades past. It is a tendency toward refusal on the part of federal government to take a hand In local matters and an insistence that the various statea shall fulfill more completely the func tions of local government which rest upon them. ;V connection with "the death of her 6- year-old stepdaughter. Lilly, was dis missed in the circuit court today. A charge of fourth-degree manslaughter immediately was filed against the child wife. After hearing the murder charge dismissed, Mrs. Parsons said: "I didn't do It on purpose." The court explained that the action was taken because of the defendant's age. The date for trial on . the man slaughter charge was not set. The little girl was shot two months ago. Mrs. Parsons said the shooting was accidental. 'John Parsons, aged 10, , the slain girl's brother, testified at the Inquest that his -stepmother shot the girl when she objected to having her hair combed. He since has said he does-not know how the shooting occurred, as he was bo excited. PROPAGANDA PROBE IS UP MORGAN & CO.

Special House Committee to Make Investigation Is Asked by -Sew Representative. WASHINGGTON, D. C, May 20. Investigation by a special house com mittee of charges that propaganda was circulated to get the United States into the world war was pro posed in a resolution introduced to day by Representative 'Michaelson, republican, Illinois. The resolution was referred to a committee in the usual course. Mr. Michaelson, who is a new mem ber of the house, asked specifically for inquiry into the reference made on the floor of the house in February, 1917, by ex-Representative Callaway, democrat. Texas, to the alleged .Tin- neutral activities of J. P. Morgan & Co., before the United States entered the war. Mr. Michaelson charged in his res olution that M. Hanotaux, ex-French foreign minister, said France was ready to make peace late in 1914, but was dissuaded by the late Robert Bacon, a representative of Morgan Interests, and Myron T. Herrick and William G. Sharp, ex-ambassadors to France, 'who, - according to Mr. Micbaelsbn's interpretation of M. Hanotaux' charges, agreed tp orig inate propaganda designed to put the United States on the side of the al lies. .- PARX PROSPECTS GOOD ' WO.ME.VS AD CLUB HEARS OF CRATER LAKE PIiAXS. H. W.
