HOOVER DECLARED TO BE PRO-BRITISH Senator Reed Says Controller Doesn't Know Party Names. the uniforni of the Salvation Army When queaioned at police head quarters MiBrlde broke down and said that le resorted to soliciting funds underjthe banner of the Salva tion Army In order that he might provide neceisitiea for his. family.

McBride is being-held In the county Jail here pending a preliminary hear ing before Justice Unruh. . OHKGOMAN NEWS BUREAU Washington, Jan. 24. t&pecial.) Herbert Hoover is hearing many sin ister things about himself as a result of the New York World having de clared for him as presidential candi date. For example, he learned today through the Philadelphia North Amer ican. in a story re-echoed by the madly anti-British Hearst papers, that his boom for president was launched Ht a luncheon attended by Colonel Hou3e and Viscount Grey, the British ambassador. Xo one could be found in Washing ton who believed this story, and, ap parently, nobody regarded it as some thing expected to be believed. Inere is no floodtide of sentiment for Hoover for president in Washington, but there is a very general resent ment of the attacks made upon him. Mr. Hoover is here devoting him self to the cause of humanity all over the world. Those who meet him and see much of him admire him and have the utmost faith in his sincerity. When he said he would not be a candidate for presitlent he meant it. He is not a candidate, and if his running for the presidency depends upon any personal effort on his part it can be safely guaranteed that he will not turn his hand over the job. Hoovfr'd Tantrn Simple. He is a man of the simplest tastes, who cares not a great deal for honors. Helping the starving peoples of Eu rope is a labor of love, and the 15 hours a day he puts in at the work and at the sessions of the Industrial conferences is devoted to the public good without compensation. Herbert Hoover's public and pri vate life stsnds the closest inspection. It loses none of its luster at close range, which is saying much. Several opportunities have been afforded re cently for studying him. one of the most interesting of which was his at titude at public and private dinners. When the sucarbowl came to him he "passed." The waiter with the second helping of butter was waved away. He wasted nothing. He is ns conserving now as if the war were still being fought, and doubtless he will continue to eat sparingly so long as he knows there is a hungry human bring in the world. Mrs. Hoover exhibits the same traits, and the two childly n, both manly young boys, have been brought up in the same way. and back of it all from Mr. Hoover himself down to the youngest, a boy of 12, the most note worthy fact is the utter unselfishness which marks everything they do. Slandera Are llrxrolnl. It is because of this opportunity to study Herbert Hoover first-hand that the thinking, fair-minded people of Washington resent the personal slan ders heaped upon the man Just be cause some one happened to favor him as a presidential candidate. The pos sibility today is that he will issue some public declaration soon, flatly disapproving the use of his name in connection with the presidency be cause he believes it is interfering with the humanitarian work to which he wishes to devote his life. This much was intimated by one of his closest friends here. However, it is conceivable that his nomination may be forced upon the democratic party, and what would happen should he receive the nomination is another matter. While few democratic lead ers appear to favor him. the rapidly changing conditions in the party are likely to result in anything. For instance, only a few weeks ago there were two going candidates for the democratic nomination William Oibbs McAdoo and Attorney-General Palmer. The McAdoo boom flattened when his letter was read at the re- I cent .laokson-day banquet. His letter evoked but slight applause because it contained nothing but a scolding of the republican congress for not re ducing taxes. He offered nothing new, and former admirers voiced the criticism that this letter gave evi dence that his thinking processes had been at a standstill since he retired from public life. Acta Are Againat Him. Against his assault on the congress for not reducing taxes is balanced the forceful fact that his democratic suc cessor as secretary of the treasury. Carter til ass, a few days thereafter wounded the warning that there could be no tax reduction for the present. Also there is the fact of the vast . economy achieved by the congress which he asasiled. By the time this session adjourns the entire slashing of estimates submitted by Mr. Mc Adoo's father-in-law's administration will aggregate something like four billion dojlars since the new congress was seated. lastly, the Palmer boom has been deflated by the attorney-general's lack of stability on the coal strike and on anti-sedition legislation. In these controversies he has lost the respect of both sides, according to the gossip of the capitol cloakrooms. What .is most disconcerting is the effective manner in which Mr. Bryan is playing the role of "the bull in the china shop." His latest attack comes in his comment on the Hoover boom. Three days ago he attacked Governor Kdwards of New Jersey and criticised National Chairman Cum mings for keeping company with the wet executive of New Jersey, who also is a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination. What will Bryan do next? Is the ouestion which disturbs the demo cratic mind. WOMAN GUILTY OF ARSON MUS. OLIVE BOYD OF SOCTH BKX D AGAIN" COXVICTKD.

Verdict at Second Trial Returned After 2 3 Hours Deliberation. Insurance Policy Involved. RAYMOND, Wash.. Jan. 24. (Spe cial.) Mrs. Olive Boyd of south Bend, after retrial on a charge of arson with intent to derraua. as found guilty in the Pacific county su perior court last Friday. The verdict was brought in after deliberation ot 23 hours by the Jury. The motion for new trial was granted in November j on the contention of errors of law in the admission of evidence concerning the insurance on the Boyd home. The case attracted wide interest in the county because Mrs. Boyd had resided in South Bend and Raymond for more than 12 years. Kvidence in the second trial was in troduced to show an insurance policy of $12,000 had been issued upon the property which Mrs. Boyd was charged with having burned. P. W. Rhodes, the South Bend agent for the com pany, testified that Mrs. Boyd had made inquiries at his office concern ing the insurance upon her home the day before the fire. Testimony also showed that the rugs and wall paper had been satu rated with kerosene and that the fur niture which was not insured had been packed for shipment and placed in the front part of the house. It was also charged that fires had been set upstairs and downstairs. A motion for a new trial has again been filed by Mrs. Boyd's attorney Democrat is Aroused by Room Launched for Orcgonian. for Pres ident and Scores Move. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Charges that Herbert Hoover was "one of the go-betweens of Colonel House and members high in the British govern ment during the negotiations preced ing the entry of the nL'ited States into the war" were made by Senator Reed, democrat, (Missouri, who launched a vigorous attack today in the senate against what he charac terized as Mr. Hoover's "self-promoted boom for president." Senator Reed said Mr. Hoover was so close to the British government that he "constituted a convenient connecting link" and challenged any member of the senate who doubted his statement to introduce a resolu tion of investigation. Declaring that Mr. Hoover "served a tutelage all of his adult life" in the British service. Senator Reed said Hoover "never cast a vote In the United States," unless he had voted since this war to Qualify himself.

" said Senator Iteed. "Apparently he hasn't been In the United States enough to know the names or the political parties In this country and has to designate himself as a L,ibera!,' a British political or ganization. 1 think Mr. Hoover's nomination would put the finishing touch to the league of nations and that the league would surrender the sovereignty of the world to the British empire." the senator continued. In addition to her own votes. Great Hritain would control the votes of Portugal. Greece, France and Belgium the league." Senator Reed said adding that Belgium "was in no con ditlon to resist Great Britain's im puj ious win, ana mat France, ac cording to high French officials, had admitted that she was dependent on the British army and navy for pro tection against German attack. Senator Reed said that if a Britlsh- cpntrolled league of nations were to be established, this country ought to have as nearly a British subject as possible to represent it. "so why not Mr. Hoover?" Wallingrord and Hoover Linked. Referring to . reports that Mr. Hoover made $10,000,000 before he was 30 years old. Senator Reed said he was a "get rich quick" and turn-ing-to Senator Lodge, the republican leader, declared that if Mr. Hoover were nominated for the presidency tue only thing that could save the re publican party from defeat was for it "to nominate J. Jiufus Walling- ford." "Then we'll have two horses bred alike, he added. Declaring that he understood that the gentleman from London" recent ly had bought two no wsnaners the Missouri senator Faid he did not Know tor what purpose unless "it was to keep the people from nominating mr. noovor. Mr. Keed spoke for half an hour and no reply was made to his ad dress. Renewing later his discussion of Mr. Hoover's candidacy, Senator Reed suggested that George Creel, former chairman of the committee on public information, whom he termed an "in tellectual red," be nominated as the vice-presidential candidate. Creel Called "Intellectual Red.' "If that were done then you'd have two masters of publicity," the sena tor said. "Both are progressive and forward-looking gentlemen. "Mr. Creel's opinions," Senator Reed continued, "have been embalmed in the Congressional Record and show him to be abreast of the times." This ticket, the Missouri senator added, could be supplemented by the sedition law proposed by Attorney General Palmer, "while Creed could continue , to arouse his country re garding the 'reds,' failing to say he was formerly one of them that is. an intellectual 'red,' but never a physi cal one."
