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

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:

Traffic Cop at Cornelius Caution

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.

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.

at this season is high and swift.
Whitcomb's condition was said to
be serious.

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. Bail was furnished in
the amount of $150.
Late Saturday, acting on numerous
complaints, Federal Agents Price and
Linville raided Nazarene headquar
ters, 722 Mississippi avenue, and
seized five pint bottles of whisky, to
gs ther with a large number of empty
but redolent flasks. These latter, said
Stacy, had Been collected with cloth
ing and other salvage donated to the
relief work of the organization. The
full bottles, he asserted, were found
by him in a suit case left behind by
a guest befriended by the Nazarenes.
"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 .
Stacy's insistence upon his inno
cence was almost pathetic, while his
naive explanations were seemingly
made In all sincerity. Yet the agents
who made the arrest informed Com
missioner Frazer that they did not
re id his premises until after several
complaints were received, adding that
