TIIE SUNDAY OTIEGOXIAX, PORTLAND. DECE3IBER 24, 1922 3 C1STIS SPIRIT SEIZES ALL GOTHAM Rich and Poor Join in Last Minute Preparations. THOUSANDS GET BASKETS Salvation Army Distributes Cheer to 25,000, While Other Or ganizations Share Work. KEW YORK, Dec. 23 A Salva tion Army lassie climbed the rickety stairs of a tenement in the lower east side today to a room where an aged blind woman sat alone. "The Salvation Army wishes you a merry Christmas and leaves this little gift to help you enjoy the spirit of the day," she said, placing a huge bag in the old woman's lap. "About the same time, on upper Fifth avenue, an indulgent father was trying to sneak a J15.000 silver trimmed roadster into the garage to help his only daughter "enjoy the SDirit of the day." Somewhere in between these Inci dents lay the typical spirit. It is certain that the "spirit of the day" descended on New York early and with all its old-time fer ver. Crowds swarmed through Fifth avenue and the other shopping districts, intent on adding a few more millions to the quarter-billion dollar Christmas that the merchants reported "Father Knickerbocker" as having already run up. Salvation army workers distrib uted about 25,000 Christmas bags of food, clothing, goodies and toys The Knights of Columbus distributed 2300 baskets, and workers for other organisations were busy on similar missions. Street vendors did a heavy business in cedar trees, holly, toys, cams and other Yuletide mis cellany. The Humane society had a Christ mas tree for dogs at its headquar ters. On it were hung fancy neck bands and dog biscuits and sweet cakes galore for every scroot that could be found. Women workers from the Humane society stopped every team that passed on Seventh avenue and fed the horses apples and carrots. Then they presented the drivers with gloves and bags of specially pre pared feed for the horse'B Christ mas dinner. Many organizations, including city departments, gave Christmas parties for poor children, and many are planned for tomorrow and Mon day. AVHITK HOUSE PLANS FEW which is a bulky one, not to open ' it until it had been delivered to the tot, Christmas day, whose identity, the message stipulated, is to be left to the Judgment of Brigadier Hay. Nothing whatever is known of the anonymous donor. Naturally the brigadier is- hard pressed with the responsibility of making a choice; there are many such daddyless little girls of the stated age in the city. He is look ing for some tot who seems to stand a good chance of being com pletely overlooked by Santa Claus otherwise; and he is willing, he states, to take any number of sug gestions. Anybody who knows of just such a little girl is urged to call him up at Broadway' 4927. nrmiTr m TiniiTiinn hr Vfl r III lllulfllliiv! u 1.1 in i l. uii mini uiii GIVEN BOOTLEGGERS E. E Orders Issued for Arrest of Traffickers. RULES CHAIRMAN ACTS PILITICS IN EAST DECLARED DISTURBED, Borah and Johnson Regarded as Republican Potential Possi bilities for President. Prevents Senators Borah and Johnson are two of the republican potential presidential possibilities, although President Harding will be nominated in 1924 if he will accept the honors, said Ralph E. Williams, republican national committeeman from Oregon and vice-chairman of the national committee. Mr. Will- lams returned to Portland late Fri day night after an extended trip thrtfugh the east, during whioh he attended several meetings with the chairman of the national committee and the executive committee of the party. p "Politics in the east is disturbed and unsettled," said Mr. Williams. "This condition is due to local and state conditions, rather than na tional issues. "There is strong talk for Senators Borah and Johnson in the east at present. And, what would surprise you is that much of this support is coming from conservative men, as well as from the radical element. "There is no question in my mind but that Mr. Harding will be renom inated in case he desires to accept the nomination. "Among the democrats, Senator Ralstcn of Indiana,, Governor Al Smith of New York, judge Clarke of Ohio, ex-Governor 'Cox of Ohio and Mr. McAdoo have been mentioned. Ralston seems to . have the lead. Although there is much talk of Henry Ford's candidacy, it is not taken very seriously, .as no one seems to know to which party he belongs." Mrs. Williams, who accompanied Mr. Williams on the trip, returned to the city with her husband. The deliberations of the commit tees, Mr. Williams stated, had to do with the internal affairs of the party rather than issues.. Business conditions in the east do not equal those of the coast, stated Mr. Williams. He believes that the Pacific coast has more real, basic prosperity than the east or central states. While Mr. Curtis of Kansas Gives Instructions, Whisky Bottle Crashes on Cafe Floor. By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 23 Senator Curtis, republican, Kansas, chairman of the senate rules com mittee and -republican whip, issued strict orders to the sergeant-at- party's arms of the senate today to arrest ' any person soliciting orders tor liquor in the senate wing of the capitol Or in the' senate office build ing. Bottle of ythlxky Craahe. While Senator Curtis was issuing his ultimatum against bootleggers, diners in the senate restaurant were startled by a resounding crash and a tinkie. of glass. One of the wait ers, rushing across the floojr wtth a napkin over his arm, had dropped a bottle of whisky. A concerted rush toward the wet spot on the part of the waiters re sulted in the evidence being mopped up almost before those present knew what had happened. Declaration Follow EipoM. Senator Curtis' declaration fol lowed published reports recently that a bootlegger was soliciting or ders for various kinds of intoxicants just outside the senate chamber, while on the floor a senator was pleading for an increased appropria tion for the enforcement of prohi bition. Senator Curtis said that no influ ence, however strong, would protect a bootlegger hereafter from arrest and prosecution if he invades the senate end of the capitol or the senate office building, but up to a late hour there had been no arrests. Mrs. Harding's illness .'Iiristnms Celebration. WASHINGTON, T). C, Dec. 23. Christmas at the White House will lack much of the usual spirit of times gone by because of Mrs. Hard ing's illness. There will be no house guests and no Christmas tree." Neither the president nor Jits. Harding has made any holiday plans. She may come downstairs in ier wheel chair and preside at the table for Christ mas dinner, but otherwise the day wi-11 be like any other since she was taken ill. To add a little cheer, the White House has Yuletide wreaths in the windows and there will be a pro fusion of flowers. As a Christmas present to the thousands of government employes, President Harding issued an execu tive order closing the government departments at noon today and at that hour most high officials also closed up their desks and went home. The senate, too, joined in the early beginning of the Christ mas season, holding only a short session, but the. house went ahead with the consideration of appro priation bills. FARMER SCATTERS MONEY Idaho Man Lands in Hospital - When Gifts Become Numerous. . CHICAGO, Dec. 23. An excess of Christmas good will tonight landed --Sus Mallackas, ared 43, who says he is an Idaho farmer, in the psycho pathic hospital. En route to Chicago on a Chicago & Northwestern train Mallackas, car rying $1820 in cash and two suit cases, each secured with a huge pad lock, began distributing his money among the passengers and crew. The conductor, after receiving a J650 present, collected the funds again and turned the farmer over to the police. At the police station Mal lackas handed the captain's secre tary $1000 and told him to go out and buy a turkey for Christmas. Reports from more than 60 mar keta in the Chicago district indicate that king turkey will rule at more Christmas dinners this year than ever before, according to local pack ing-house officials here today. Belated buyers today were paying 45 to 55 cents for turkeys which merchants said were the best in quality thty had handled in several seasons. FLEXIBLECORSET OUT NEW MODEL EASILY PARKED AT DANCES, Dealers, in Stays Doing Tremen dous Business and Rap Idly Getting Rich. By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire CHICAGO, Dec. 23. Debs and sub- debs who have been annoyed by the labor, required to "park" their cor sets at dance halls, finding a suit able "parking" space and replacing them after the ball, will hail the announcement made before the Chi cago Corset club today that a self parking corset, especially designed for the 1923 dancing season, is ready for the market. The new model is made with ribs of flexible shafting and hooks with snap type clasps in four places. This feature will appeal to dancers who find it convenient to "check" their corsets. The new corsets are quickly placed and removed and rate high in tensile strength. Notwithstanding the corsetless modes designed by fashion arbiters and the fact that thousands of women who never wear stays of any form, it was admitted that cor setieres are doing a tremendous business and getting rich at a rapid rate. Especially in cold weather, they find their sales of fur-lined corsets increasing. The manufac turers of corsets say their creatiorft are easier to take than a diet or any other system of reducing, and that as long as women consume bonbons and other fattening sweets there will be a demand for corsets. DRY' ENFORCEMENT HOPEFUL Commissioner Hayncs Sends Y ule .Greeting of Good Cheer. WASHINGTON, D. C.,' Dec 23. "Be of good cheer," was Prohibition Commissioner Haynes' Christmas message today to "friends of the 18th amendment,' in whioh he de clared the success attained in pro hibition enforcement gave "every reason for hopefulness, gratification and congratulations." - "Do not- be deceived nor dis mayed," said Mr. Haynes, "by a na tionwide programme of misrepre sentation, constituting as it does the motet pretentious, most per nicious propaganda to undermine enforcement since the enactment of the amendment. "Admitting, of course, that there are violations of the Volstead act unfortunately by some who hold themselves above the law the fact cannot and will not be conscien itously denied that the last year has been marked with rapid strides to ward the same degree of enforce ment of this law as obtains in re spect to all other laws, none of which are enforced 100 per cent. "The fact is self-evident." said Commissioner Haynes, "that real liquor is almost,. Impossible to be ........... . ma. niv av erage bootleg product is dangerous to life and health, the law will, to ah increasing extent, enforce itself." at the proper time is entitled to his I chance to make. good. It is apparent i that Roscoe Arbuckle s conduct j since his trouble merits the chance. ' So far as I am concerned there will be no suggestion now that he should not have his opportunity to go to work in his profession. In our effort to develon a complete co operation and confidence within the ! industry, I hope we can start the new year with no yesterdays. Live and let live is not enough. We will try to live and help live." Reinstatement In Denied. "This is no reinstatement of Arbuckle. to his place in films or does it in any way relate to the release of films already made.- It is. simply a declaration that I shall not stand in the way of this man having his chance to go to work to make good if he tan. I neltner sponsor him nor stand in his way, but in a spirit of American fair play and Christian charity I propose that as far as I am concerned he shall have his chance and I am sure we are doing the- right thing to accomplish the great good in the end. "While I am sure my statement is right, yet I do not presume to insist that my idea shall be accepted by others. That there will be some misunderstandings of "the purposes and motives of the statement until all of the problems are worked out I have no doubt. But while I shall deeply regret any such misunder standings, yet from my knowledge of the whole situation, I know it is right a'nd I am content" MINISTER FILES PROTEST Reinstatement of Arbuckle Said ; to Have Been Arbitrary. NEW YORK. Dec. 23. Rev. Charles S. MacFarlAid, general sec retary of the federal council of the churches of Christ in America, to day made public a letter to Will II. Hays, head of the motion picture industry, calling for an explana tion why he, as a member of Mr. Hay's "committee on public rela tions," was not consulted about the reinstatement of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle, film comedian, who fig ured in the party that resulted in the' death of Virginia Rappe, ac tress. , ; Mr. McF'arland, as general secre tary of the church federation, is a membei of. the executive committee of the committee on public rela tions, which Mr. Hays organized re cently from various religious and civic organizations to aid him in putting the movies on a higher plane.. "' , His letter, besides raising . the point of why he was not consulted, declared that "unfortunately the impression has gained ground that this is due to pressure of financial interests invested in Arbuckle pic tures.'' . Mr. MacFarland quoted the fo! lowing telegram from the St. Louiil federation of churches: "St. Louis church people are in censed over the proposal of. Will H. Hays on behalf of moving pic ture Interests to bring Arbuckle into the films. Strong supporting reso lutions will undoubtedly be passed in St. Louis denominational minis terlal bodies, by ministerial alliance and-by church federation. 4s fed eral council taking action?" "The enclosed telegram," his let ter said, "is merely an indication, in my judgment, of the general ex pressions, which are coming and will continue to come from our re ligious and moral forces relative o your decision in the Arbuckle mat ter. "May I raise the question as to why there was no consultation whatever swlth persons represent ing the church whose co-operation you have sought? It would seem as though this would be a matter on which above all you harve wanted counsel and advice from people who represent these large bodies re fleeting so wide an area of public opinion 2 SPOIL PLANS OF 7111 IMMIGRANTS OBLIGED STAY ABOARD VESSEL. TO RESORT TO PLANES LOOMS Marooned Bootleggers Expected to Try Aerial Delivery. ' NEW YORK, Dec. 23. Rum-running by airplane Is the next move anticipated from the few desperate sea bootleggers who still are ma rooned off the coast with theif Christmas cargoes, prohibition offi cials said today. The bootleggers, lolling off the three-mile limits, can not get small boats to ruii the blockade; their supplies are run ning dangerously, low, and every night pirates are putting to sea and are making life for the bootleggers anything but a Joy, the dry navy officials declared. According to John D. Appelby, zone chief in charge of the dry navy for the prohibition agents, big air planes have been requisitioned. He said he had received information that 15 planes were being prepared on the Long island coast, or along the Jersey marshes, In the hope that they can beat the enforcement game. -' - Officials at headquarters assert that the bootleggers practically have given up hope of putting liquor Into New York for Christmas, but they still think they can land some for New Year's day. The dry navy, it is said, has not lessened its blackade. GERMANY" THANKS AMERICA Millions of Marks Collected for Relief of Needy, a BERLIN, Dec. 23. President Ebert, in a Christmas communica tion, cordially acknowledged private financial relief from the United States for the benefit of Germany's children, invalids and needy. The reports received to date indicate that the foreign donations for this cause far outstrip those of last year. The New York Staats Zeitung alone collected $45,000 for Germany and J15.000 for Austria, these sums being converted respectively into 500,000,000 marks and 100,000,000 marks. Street collections in Chi cago and Philadelphia netted liberal sums. c GIFT TO CHILD MYSTERY Daddy Who Lost Girl Has Pack age for Daddyless Girl.

The George Washington had raced to reacb, part before noon, the closing hour on Saturdays at Ellis Island, and was successful, but the count of passengers proved to be short by two. Of the 1583 recorded, only 1581 were found. A second count also failed to re veal them. Meanwhile the minutes until noon ticked off. Not until the third count were the passengers found, one a valet who was busy with preparation of his master's luggage, and the other a man who had stopped at the barber shop and was overlooked in the check-offs. They were discovered shortly after noon, but the authorities then were unable to land the shipload of immigrants. Truck Load Rules Revised. ROSEBURG. Or,, Dec. 23. (Spe cial.)
