Are Dead to Be Taken After

SIXTEEN"-YEAR-OLD PATRIOTS WHO LEFT HOMES TO ENLIST
IN ARMY AND NAVY, AND POLIQEMAN "BIG BROTHER."

Requested by Mother.
TVie paths of two boys, each 16 years
of age, have led them to the Portland
police station within the last few days.
With the first lowering: of the war-'
. cloud each young patriot burned to
serve the Nation, and applied for enlist
ment. One waits In the City Jail, for
his parents' arrival, when he will be
taken back to Spokane and school. The
other, more happily fated. Is to realize
his ambition and enter the Navy, in all
probability.
Testerday morning', slim and straight
in his grimed overalls. Joseph Murphy
presented himself to Acting- Captain
Leo A. Harms. "I want to join the
Army," he explained, "but they say I'm
too light. I wonder If they'd take me in
the Navy?"
The delighted bluecoats thronged
about him. To their questioning, the
boy returned straightforward, manly
answers. He hailed from Baker City,
lie said, and was without kith or kin to
claim him. Four years ago his mother
was accidentally burned to death, and
a short time afterward his father
passed away. The eider Murphy was a
member of the Masonic order. , The
mother had Joined the Eastern Star
lodge.
Army Rejects Iid.
For two years, the boy related, he had
fended for himself, working in saw
mills and playing a man's part In the
world. Of late his thoughts had turned
to service under the Flag. An attempt
to enlist in the Army had been met.
with rejection, because he was under
weight. -
A day or two ago, with $5 in his
pocket, young Murphy responded to the
Celtic strain and set forth from Baker
City to see what he could do about it.
He sent a suitcase, with his Sunday
suit and trinkets, to Portland by ex
press and resolutely "beat" his way to
Portland. . -.
' On Friday night he found hospital
ity at. the. T. M. C. A. quarters, and
early yesterday found his way to Sec
ond and Oak streets, to ask aid of the
police. So Atlng-Captaln Jenkins and
Desk Sergeant Thatcher accepted the
charge from the second-night shift of
the police, and became young Murphy's
enthusiastlo aides.
The suit case was taken from the
express office and the Sunday suit was
donned. A proper young American, a
distinct credit to the colors he seeks
to serve, stood forth. And they went,
Acting-Captain Jenkins and the boy, to
the Naval recruiting station in the
Dekum building.
Guardian to Be Named.
The recruiting officer looked the ap
plicant over with pleased appraisal. He
punched the unflinching son of the
Murphys judicially and mused for a
moment. "He'll pass, alright." was the
officer's conclusion.
The boy's story, which is not doubted,
will be investigated as a matter of
form. A guardian probably will be, ap
pointed. It is said, to conform to the
regulations, and, in due course, Joseph
Murphy will Join some ship of Uncle
Sam's fighting fleets.
In a corridor of the City Jail, while
the other boy "saw his dream fairly
launched to fulfillment. stood Paul
Warren, a Spokane schoolboy, his eyes
frankly wet with tears. Not this sea
Bon, at any rate,, will he shoulder a
rifle and Join the awkward squad. He
is to be taken back to Spokane.
On January 18, Paul Warren left the
home of his stepfather. Dr. F. W. Hlll
cher. of 1006 South Rockwood Boule
vard. Spokane, he says. Trouble at
school had brought the warning that
the reformatory was awaiting for him
if he erred again. He feared his step
father's threat, he said, took his
boarded dimes and nickels and came
to Portland.
For a few days he, too, stopped at
the T. M. C. A., while he sought work.
He got a Job with Closset & Devers,
but the work was too heavy.
Boy Dopes Hotel.
Last Monday his store of cash failed
and Paul Warren took to living by his
wits. At the Imperial Hotel he said his
father had gone on to Oregon City-
business trip and he was to stay at
the Imperial until his parent s return.
For two days the boy brazened it out.
Then the management became curious.
They found that Paul was wholly with
out luggage, save for a bottle of car
bolic acid, which he didn't know what
he was "going to do with.

gated the case. It developed that the
boy had been reported as a runaway
from Spokane, and he was held to await
the arrival of his parents.
Tet a third boy is sought by the
Portland police, who have been asked
by the mother, Mrs. Julia P. Jones, of
American Falls, Idaho, to restrain his
ambition to enter the Army. The
mother has telegraphed that her son,
Walter Ellsworth. 16 years old. ran
away from school at Weiser, Idaho,
February 6, after having announced
hi3 intention to become a soldier.

Mr. Berry is the inventor of the float
ing waterpower plant which was re
cently tried out at Oregon City before
a committee from the bureau of manu
facturers and industries of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and proved success
ful. Local capital has taken an Interest
in the floating power plant and it has
already been advanced materially to
ward the status of a. going concern.
Mr. Berry's experiments which have
resulted In his new type of airship have
extended over a period of 30 years,
though it Is only three years since his
work began to materialize into the defl.
nite application of the principle he had
been testing out.
Models Are Successful.
He has made three models, the
smallest 200 pounds and the largest
3000, and has operated them success
The principle on which he has de
veloped his aerial craft does away with
the propeller that is used In the aero
plane and on the Zeppelin, and, to use
his .own expression, employs suction
fans In the body of the machine to con
vert the resistance against which the
airship must go into driving power.
The centrifugal blower within the
machine,' which is shaped in general
like a Zeppelin, draws the air in at the
nose, creating a partial vacuum at the
forward end. Half of the air drawn
in is discharged through the box rudder
at the rear, filling the displacement and
cutting off suction that might retard
the speed, while the remainder Is dls
charged along the intake air column
and thrown back along the outside of
the dirigible by means of diversion
blades. This, according to Mr. Berry,
removes all resistance caused by coun
ter air currents and creates a pulling
power equal to the driving force of
the rear discnarge. tnus eliminating
all back pressure. In other words, the
dirigible simply sucks itself through
the air.
Weather Is Ko Bar.
The dirigible is fitted with planes so
that when the lift of the gas In its
body ceases to be operative, the planes
can be adjusted for either upward or
downward motion of the machine under
the blast of air discharged around the
body of the car.
Mr. Berry declares that the machine

'Just Wanted to Break Your Arm,"
He Tells Victim of Sis Shot, Who
Had Befriended Him When
Previously In Trouble.
Creed Evans, deputy probation of
ficer of the Juvenile Court, was shot
and slightly wounded by William Mc
Leod, a 16-year-old boy he had under
arrest, yesterday afternoon.
"Where's your gun?" he had asked
the boy. who was reputed to have a
.38-callber revolver with which he had
frightened other boys.
"Oh, It's out of the house," replied
the lad.
"But where is lt7 persisted the of
ficer. "well. If you must know, here it is,"
was the quick answer, as William
whipped the gun from a trouser pooket,
aimed it at Evans' stomach, and pulled
the trigger. It snapped on an empty
chamber. 'Again, he pulled. But Evans
had recovered from his surprise and
had reached for the revolver by this
time. He succeeded In knocking the
muzzle aside, but the shot pierced bis
right thumb.
It all happened in the front yard of
William's home, 522 East Thirty-first
street North. The boys widowed
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth McLeod. had
Just stepped to the lawn when her son
rired at tha orricer. She promptly
fainted.
Boy Makes Knife Play.
With blood flowing from his injured
thumb, Evans retained hold of the re
volver and succeeded in wresting' it
from the youngster's hand. He then
half-carried, half -dragged Mrs. McLeod
into the houBe, dashed water in her
face, and began to bathe his bleeding
thumb.
As he did so, he became aware of a
quick step behind him and turned in
time to see William coming toward
him with an open clasp-knife. He dis
armed the boy and took him to the
juvenile quarters In the County Jail.
"I didn't want to kill you when I
shot," explained the juvenile gunman
later. "I just wanted to break your
arm. You wouldn t leave me alone.1
Possibly unknown to himself, William
had Injured the best friend he had in
the Juvenile Court. Two weeks ago
when he was arrested with Edward
Smith and Linn Cooper, boys who ad
mitted the theft of five automobiles
and the burglary of two houses. Chief
Probation Officer Keady and Deputy
Simmons were inclined to send him to
Salem. It was on the representation of
Evans that William was released on
, parole.
Parole Violation Reported.
Yesterday morning it was reported
that the boy had violated his parole.
and Evans, being familiar with- his
case, wa,s sent for him. He was found
at the Portland Broom Works. East
Twenty-fifth and Irving streets, and
was first taken to his home.
The boy wore a khaki unlfocm.
though he admitted he was not a Boy
Scout, and the long coat well con
cealed the bulge of a revolver in i
trouser pocket. The weapon was of
ancient design, with heavy bulldog
frame and large caliber.
William probably will be sent to the
State Training School at Salem. He
has an elder brother and sister and
a brother 8 years old. He and his
oldest brother assisted their grand'
father, William G. McLeod, to support
their mother, and this was one reason
for the leniency previously shown the
youthful bad man. The boy was In
trouble a year ago with the authorities
for the first time.

Small Towns Send Volun

Special efforts are to be made by
the various divisions of the military
arm of the Government to organize a
greater Army and Navy. While offi

ing stations are non-committal, it is
understood that instructions have been
issued at Washington to Increase re
cruiting with all possible haste.
Early in the week the Navy recruit
ing office, in the Dekum building, re

tain a night recruiting force,-and yes
terday similar orders were received at
the recruiting headquarters of the
Marine Corps, in the Panama building.
In the event of actual war, it Is
pointed out that the Navy would be
called on to bear the brunt of opera'
tlons, and, as International complica
tions are still critical, the Navy De

in all parts of the country.
Officers in charge of the local sta
tions report that the number of appli
cants to Join both the Navy and Army
is increasing. They say this is due
more to a special campaign started
two or three months ago than to the
present war scare.
During the past few days several of
the small towns and cities in the Norm
west have been contributing briskly
to the enrollment in both the Navy
and Army. Seven young men enlisted
