nils MOKMXG OREGOMxlX, TUESDAY. MAY 23, 1923 DEBS JOINS FIGHT TO FREE PRISONERS Political Offenders Held No More Guilty Than He. HARDING'S STAND RAPPED Shutting of Door in Faces of Child Crusaders Cited President's Words on Christ Recalled; WASHINGTON, D. C. May 16. (Special.) Eugene V. Debs will in sist that he be returned to the peni tentiary unless the political prison ers incarcerated' are' released. In a letter to Kate Richards O'Hare, leader of the "children's crusade," he de clared the fathers of the children now appealing for executive clemency are no more guilty that he was and advised picketing of the White House and the department of justice until the crusaders get a hearing. "I Bhould never have believed that an American president would shut his door in the faces of sad, weary and bedraggled little children, who had made their way by charity across half the continent to plead the re lease of their unjustly imprisoned fathers," Debs said. - . ' "In my interview with the presi dent he talked about the spirit of Christ and I am wondering if he made manifest his conception of that spirit when he had the White House police forbid the little children of whomChrist said, "Forbid them not,' to come into his august- presence. Picketing la Advised. "Would he have denied them if they had been the children of the profiteers instead of the children of the victims of the profiteers? "I advise the picketing of the White House and the department of justice, so called, by the' little children until they secure a decent hearing at the hands of the nation's servants. If their fathers had been foreign spies and criminals instead of honest American citizens, they would have been released long ago. Not one of them committed an overt act or any other crime save that of belonging to a labor union and expressing his honest opinion and to hold them in prison as convicted felons when every other nation on earth released its war prisoners years ago, is nothing less than infamous and a foul and damning blot on the government of the United States. Slalce it Isfrae, Is Advlee. "If the fathers of those children deserve to be kept in prison - with convicted murderers I have no right to be at large. They are no more guilty than I and I shall insist upon their release or upon my being re turned to the penitentiary with them, where I belong if the expression of opinion is a crime. "We shall make this the burning iesue and upon that issue we shall arouse the American people and com pel action in behalf of the martyrs of free speech, wose pleading children the president had his police turn from the White House door." At Attorney-General Daugherty's office it was stated that Mr. Deb's sentence had been served in full and that there is no legal way by which the department could return him to the penitentiary unless ' he commits a new offense. DO YOU REMEMBER? ;- iiiii ::'-:W:-;ii:i:::: The. funny clothes you used to wear back In the early '90s when you went to high school, and when the unseen ear was unheard of? High school girls of all classes wore skirts to their heels, and it was nothing for a toy in the freshman class to go to school under a derby. The young woman who did not wear a pompadour, or at least a curl, wasn't in the swim, and collars and sleeves were high and long, respectively. For instance, witness the picture lent The Oregonian by Molly Morris Hasten, which was taken on the steps of the old Portland high school at Fourteenth and Morrison streets one day back in 1892. A photographer came along and all the students who happened to be near sat down on the steps and had a picture taken. Many of them are now prominent Portland people, to-wit: .

' . CAMP IS SET FOB JUNE FEDERAL FUNDS MADE AVAIL ABLE EARLIER. Chief of Police Jenkins Is Halted as Speeder. Traffic Cop at Cornelius Caution Officer to. Go Slower. Coast Artillery Units to Train at Fort Worden and Infantry i at Camp Lewis. As the culmination of a four months' fight by Adjutant-General White, seeking authority to hold the 1922 encampment of the Oregon na tional guard in June instead of July, announcement was made in Portland yesterday that the chief of the militia bureau had approved the plan and that the camp would be held between June 15 and 29. " ' A special appropriation of $104, 269.80" has been set aside by the mili tia bureau for pay, subsistence and transportation. The camp was fixed originally for July, due to the notification received In Oregon that no federal funds would be available ' for the purpose before July 1. The matter was taken up with the ninth corps area commander and militia bureau. Colonel White pointing out that the June camp would draw a much larger attendance due to crop and fruit conditions and would immediately follow school va cations. It was necessary to obtain a special dispensation from tie sec retary of war to get the funds re quired. Coast artillery units will 'trin at Fort Worden on Puget sound, instead of Fort Stevens on the Columbia, as in 1921, and the infantry and other units at Camp Lewis. ' away by the excitement of the occa sion, threw her arms about his neck in an affectionate embrace and cooed, "Tou're the sweetest papa in town." At least this is the assertion of Herbert Dawson, her husband, in a divorce suit field in the circuit court. He cites this instance as a major reason why a decree should be given him. The demonstration took place in the presence of "several hundred people," he avers. The Dawsons were married Feb ruary 15, 1920. No misconduct is al leged prior to April 17, 1922, when Dawson claims his wife began to "keep company with Rose. There were automobile rides and telephone conversations "nearly every day" after that time, declares the husband. Other divorce suits filed were Mabel against. Frank Alaen, Garrett B. a gainst Murl Ethel Hollo way, and O. A. against Juanita M. Dahlheim.. HEAD GF CULT ACCUSED WILLIAM STACY CHARGED WITH DRY VIOLATION. HERDS TO BE STUDIED AUTO CARAVAN TO VISIT TILLA MOOK COUNTY. POLICE CHIEF JENKINS Sunday night got a wee bit of the sort of grief he has been handing out for a good many years. ' Fact is, the chief got "pinched." And it wasn't one of these fake movie arrests, at that. It was the genuine thing, wherein the affable Portland police chief had to do a lot of te.ll talking before he could squire him self. . It happened at Cornelius, Or., where a lynx-eyed traffic cop caught him speeding through the town limits at the terrific rate of 23 miles an hour. "Stoj, you're under arrest," the motorcycle cop cpmmanded as he paced up to the side of the chief's motor car. ... "Say, if I had an officer on my force who arrested a man for going this fast, I'd fire him," retorted the chief. "Who are you?" demanded the cop. Chief Jenkins then revealed his identity. As a result he was allowed . to proceed on his way with the ad monition to slow down hereafter while going through the town of Cornelius. Unlike traffic officers in some of the other rural communities, Portland motorists report that the Cornelius traffic officer is not "hard-boiled," but he sure watches the speedometer so closely that a motorist who gets a shade over 20 miles is apt to find himself under arrest.

Defendant Held to Grand Jury for Purported Use of Moonshine Liquor in Headquarters. Though he protested that his sup ply of moonshine whisky was a wind fall and that he used it only as a dentifrice and mouth wash, "General" William Stacy, head of the religious cult of Nazarenes in this city, was held to answer to the' federal grand jury yesterday when he appeared before United States Commissioner Frazer cn a charge of violating the Volstead act.

"God knows I never sola a axinK or whisky in. my life," protested "General" Stacy under examination. "I did use some of this liquor as a mouth wash. You can see that my teeth are bad. It was too hot and I mixed some sugar and water with it. Of course, I won't say that some didn't slip down my throat once in a while." i .
