THE OREGON' SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY . MORNING, APRIL 3. 1921. CAFTAN BOEHM RECENTLY SEEN IN NEW YORK CITY German Spy Responded to Rec ognition of Portland Woman " Who Knew Him Here. while Captain Hans V. lioehrn of the general staff of the imperial German government and former steward at the University and Arlington clubs and the Chamber of Commerce, who was imprisoned in the Tower of Ixn don dllHner th wurmftur )iln o- ar, rented as a:.German spy, has returned ty the United States, according to in formation furnished The Journal by a prominent Portland woman. .The woman, who knew Boehm he lived here, recognized the former erman agent in the Hotel Gotham in New York; where he is a waiter. Boehm is -said to have ; recognized ' the woman in return. ' Until informed by The Journal Satur day that Boehnuhad been seen recently in New TTork. looal federal authorities heJieved the German spy to be hiding in Spain, out of the reach, of American, i criuHn ana uerman authorities. ALLOWED I'SE OF AIK In a f!omnlint filtH Vrirlaw in tVi federal court. Joseph Woerndle. a Port land attorney and former Austrian coun- sul. is alleged to have allowed Boehm to ub his citizenship papers to secure passports to travel between the United Stales and Germany during 1914 and 1915. As a result of this alleged un- , lawful act the attorney general has ordered United States Attorney Lester . Humphreys to start proceedings to can eel Woerndle's citizenship. Prosecution of Woerndle on a felony charge cannot of limitations has run. ' The. complaint sets forth that Woerndle gave Boehm the use of his citizenship papers to secure a passport October 3, 1914. and that Boehm used the papers for passports at later -dates. These trips between the United States and. Germany are said to have been- secret "missions . ESCAPED EXECUTION ; When Boehm found it difficult !to sail under the name of Woerndle he is said to have adopted the name of . J.i Leroy' Trasher, "a Southerner,' and to have used other names when necessary. ' iBoehm . finally was taken off a Dutch, ship by the British when it landed at Falmouth, Kngland, during 1917 and lodged in the Tower of London. Boehm was in the tower when Sir Roger Cason was exe cuted. How Boehm escaped death is a mizzle, to local officials, but Jti is be lieved he turned traitor to Germany. Boehm's name however, appeared in the British White Book as one of the arch spies of the war. 1 - . Boehm married Helen Willis, a Doug las bounty girl, who also left Portland before this country entered the war. She is br id to have joined lioehrn in Ger many, taking along their two children. The last heard front Mrs. Boehm was that she was living in a suburb Of Ber lin with Boehm's parents. Woerndle was naturalized August zj. 1504, by-Hhe superior court judge at South !nd. Wash. The ?ovprnment a.1- leges that he secured his final papers by fraud and deception, as he did not re i nounce all allegiance; to every foreign prince, sovereign or potentate, but, that he maintained a mental reservation of allegiance to William' II of Germany. "Woerndle is not charged with any treasonable act, as' the United- States was .not at war with Germany when Boehm secured the passports, but he is charged with assisting in furthering the interests of warfare between two nations with whom ihe United States was at peace and thus helping to strain! the re- lations between the United States and on the these nations. i i Woerndle was formally swerved: with a copy of -the complaint Friday by the United States marshal. - He has 60 days in which to reply.

J Harding Fulfills Promise Given; He Dines Men of Press Washington, Jpril 2. President Hard ing fulfilled one of his campaign pledges tonight when he gave a White House dinner to newspaper correspondents who were assigned to him during his race for the presidency. These reporters, who organised them selves into "The Order of the Elephant," gave a dinner for Harding last Sep tember. "if I'm elected I'll have you all down at the White House for dinner," he said then. One of his first acts, dur ing the busy days when he was getting settled fn the White House was to issue Invitations. ; Most of the correspondents have been with him since he opened his front porch campaign and went on his trips to Panama and Florida.

Frank Zimnierman Crushed by Train Pasco, Wash..' April , 2. Frank Zim merman, 60 years old died at 11 :15 o'clock tonight at the Ilady of Lourdes hospital, where he was taken after hav ing both legs cut . off when -he was caught between two boi. cars here at 7:35 o'clock. Ha was "stealing a ride" at the time the accident occurred. The name of the man was ascertained when he was taken to the hospital, but nothing could be learned as to where he was from and if any relatives survive his death. ; - Elaborate in every ; detail, the fourth annual entertainment of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club was held Saturday night In fhe Audi torium , and the spacious building was filled to overflowing. From the opening number to the errand finale there were nd lagging moments. Many acts could well have been re peated, but time would not permit encores. - Professor O. C. Mauthe. director of physical education at the Winged "M" club, had so arranged -the time for each number that he requested that no encores be given and as aNresult the two wings of The Auditorrfum were thrown open to social dancing shortly after 10:30 o'clock. All the contestants, from the "littlest" boys and girls to the oldest men and women worked hard and did well. On the flying rings the two smallest girls Ann Morrow and Virginia Oeorge created quite a furore, for they barely could reach the rings, yet they man aged to do all 1 the stunts. Owen T. Carr directed the games of the first and second section junior boys and girls and quite a "kick" was obtained by the audience from the "boat race," "rocker race," "roll ball" and "rabbites r.est." .' - - , , WAND DRILL APPEALS The wand drill by the high school section junior ' girls was prettily 'exe cuted, while the Bet-up exercises by the women's annex class brought forth much applause because of the way the "fair ones" performed the famous ' "army" exercises with ease and grace. To the ordinary spectator they looked- easy, but to those who had performed many of the same "stunts" daily before break fast it was known they were quite dif ficult and tifing. The high school section of junior boys used "horse" to good advantage "and they did some buck vaulting. This Mas followed by a dance, Elygian Fields, by the junior girls and directed by Miss Marie Gammie. President H. A. Sar gent spoke on the history of the club and was well received. The, junior wrestling under the lead ership of Instructor Ted Thye, and the boxers under the tutelage of Professor Thomas .A,. Louttit put on an act which showed -what waa going: on at the club in the way of developing future stars. 3ASCK PROVES NOVELTY A novel act known as the "Jockey Dance" was staged by the junior girls with Miss Hortense Bleeker as the ring master. She "drove" the little jockeys back and forth at .he snap of a whip and the dance waa one' of Professor Mauthe's own creations. Sidney Noles Sr. and Ben Altenburg were billed on the program as "Clever Capers of High Caliber" and they lived up to advance notices. They sang, talked, danced and then did a tumbling and balancing act "whjch. would do credit , to any acrobatic performance among professionals. It was not too long and they had a good "climax." , Very, few of those present tnow that two world's champions participated on the parallel bars. The program simply said. the performers were seniors. Louis "Happy" Kuebn. world's , champion fancy diver; and Clarence Plnkston, world's champion high diver, both win ning -t their. : laurels r at the Oyympic games last summer, showed ; that they were "there" on the bars. Jack Ren shaw, Holland Houston and Earl Crow also showed to good advantage. The ribbon dance was "something different" and the junior girls did them selves proud. The final number of the evening was the pantomime and social dancing by the junior boys, and girls. Ail the couples came in for a great deal of attention, but the work, of little Jack Lyons was especially noteworthy. Fallowing this number, the spectators and performers mingled in social danc ing until midnight. Make Clothing ' Paper Montreal. Quebec, April 2.

' Rather has the opposition centered on Colonel Harvey's alleged attitude toward prohibition, which is not especially pleas ing to the "dry" element here. It has been pointed out that Great Britain is not a prohibition country and that presumably- sentiment in London would favor the selection of a man like Colo nel Harvey instead of one of the :Puasyfoot' Johnson kind. Indeed, the British government in response to an inquiry from the United States govern ment said ,promptly that Colonel Har vey was "persona grata," HIS LIFELONG AMBITION - When Colonel Harvey goes abroad" as ambassador to Great Britain, he will have achieved a lifelong ambition. It is not generally known that the colonel was very anxious to have President Wil son appoint him to the same ambassa dorship. Long after Mr. Wilson and George Harvey had their sensational controversy, in which the then candidate for- the presidency - asked his editorial friend to cease his support on the ground that it waa more harmful than helpful, the ambition -of the co'onel to become ambassador to Great Britain , did not wane. - When Jr.' WIS i.n hesitated for some weeks before appointing Walter Hines Page, the friends of Colonel Har vey beseeched Mr. Wilson to let bygones be bygones and appoint a man who had been so instrumental In bringing the name of .Wood row Wilson in the lime light. WILSON WAS OBDURATE 'Bui Woodrow Wilson was obdurate. The. same reasons which actuated him in declining Colonel Harvey's editorial support, namely an ; apprehension that support y Harvey would be construed out west as the backing of Wall street, were potent in the subsequent decision against the sending vof the colonel to Great Britain. Kver since that episode Colonel Harvey's pejkhas been employed in an incessant attack . on Mr. Wilson and his policies,' so much so-that many Republicans believe he owes his elec tion by Mr. Harding to the remarkable way in which he exposed" to satire lh ills of the Wilson' administration. Tra ditionally he is not a Republican, though, after hi break with Mr. Wilson, he sup ported the national Republican ticket in 1916 and 1920. - The fact that Mr. Wilson was inclined to-select Colonel . Harvey, for the am bassadorship and was merely afraid of the colonel's supposed Wall street con nection. Is seized on as conformatory at least of the editor's ability and capacity, for If fate had brushed aside thesot cir cumstances, he might have served in the same post under a Iemocratlo in stead of a Republican administration. , Swiss opticians have developed an aro light in which tho, carbons are impreg nated with Iron salts, 'producing a llfiht rich in ultra violet rays, for scientific purposes.
