Senator ' Henderson - was just preparing-
to vacate -his office, his term having
expired yesterday. His assailant entered

On Seaman
. Irv Nagasaki there ' are : no street
lights. ' Down near the waterfront,
where the scum of all nations stirs
restlessly, fAbe Franklin, able sea
man, met and bargained with an Ori
ental vandal.
"No 'rickshas entered, the deserted
street where Franklin counted out 1000
yen. and received for this fortune a
priceless gold-lacquered- Buddha. Until
the greedy- fingers t of the Nipponese
Judas, itching for the ' touch of the
foreign gold, filched the self-satisfied
little god. this gold Buddha sat undis
turbed in its sacred shrine and watched
over . tha . fortunes . of . : many . thousand
worshiping Japanese. .......ft
PRIESTS SLEEP j ; TEMPLE LOOTED
While,: the -'priests of the temple slept
and the little god was unprotected, the
vandal violated the shrine. Buddha was
borne away. ftEven though-Buddha Was
unable to protect himself from the sac
rilege of the thief, in some way the
priests were aroused.
Just as the transfer was made and
Abe Franklin with Buddha wrapped In
a soiled bandanna handkerchief started
for the dory waiting at a near-by
wharf, the priests , dashed frantically
into the deserted street.
A fusillade of shots first warned
Franklin that he had been discovered.
There wis, a mad chase and a dash
for ; the dory.; which lay by the 'wharf,
peacefully rocking from side to side
in the gentle swell. - .-
ABE MAKES HIS ESCAPE
' One- jump, oars in hand, and Abe
shoved away, from - the wharf. ' The
priests drew nearer, the distance of
open water between the dory and the
dock spread' wider, the firing of the
Orientals, went wild. Far out in the
harbor j Franklin found bis tramp
steamer and safely climbed aboard
without the captain finding out about
his escapade. . -ft ..ft.
Months later the tramp put in to
Portland. All this while Franklin's
precious Buddha had been kept safely
hidden and not even his messmates in
the forecastle knew of his treasure.
In Portland there are detect! ves.: so
it' sometimes seems. Abe Franklin car
ried his Buddha to a curio dealer and
again tried to bargain. But the -curio
dealer was indeed curious, r She tem
porised and told Franklin to - call the
next day. Friday , afternoon the -able
seaman went again to bargain and was
forced to complete his arrangement
with Inspectors Coleman and Collins.
An expert in Japanese art was called
to have a look at Buddha and made an
offer of 25 cents or two fairly good, ci

HMD SEEKING
BOLIVIA
George Hyland, of whom many"
Portland people will have 1 remem
brances, wants to go to Bolivia, there
to live and serve as minister from
these United States so long as tho
Harding' administration, shall last.
In addition to his desire he has a
clear field; so far as possible opposition
from his home state is concerned. Col
onel David M. Dunne, who. it has been
consistently reported, harbored the same
longing, having retired from the llHtj-,
probably with some other object in view.
Hyland, the word comes from Wash
ington, has the support of Senator Mc
Nary andtof Congressman McArthur and
Is making a hard stab to win the ap
pointment. .
In the olden days Hyland used to be
a familiar figure about Portland. I io
was a paving contractor In the palmy
days when Portland was putting most of
Its hard surfaced streets down and be
longed to all of the civic organizations
and clubs and was before the public
eye continually and prominently. Later
he moved over to Vancouver where he
edited a newspaper for a time, and was
m candidate for mayor of that munici
pality. .. . ' .- - ..
Hyland's latest eonnection with public
affairs was during-the -Han Francisco
International Exposition. when he served
as a member of the Oregon commission.
: While Hyland was In California one
of his daughters married Luis Atvll, son
of a wealthy Bolivian, who was also an
attache to the Bolivian exhibit main
tained at the exposition. The daughter
how resides with her husband in that
country.
