HOBO KING IS HERE
ON BUMMN1G TOUR
BASED ON
WAGER
The "Hobo King,", who is 5 touring
te world at the world's own expense
under the terms of a wager mde
January 21 in an exclusive "New York
flub, passed through Portland today
and after a brief visit in The Journal
office, hurried away toi Puget Sound
in a borrowed automobile.
A, alight complication arose after
a reporter assigned to . Interview the
Hobo .King carelessly permitted hint
self to be Induced to sign the travel
er record book. It seems everyone
who signs the bookr has to donate
something to the hobo.
CABBIES HIS FOIST
There Is no doubt that he always
carries his point. It must be his eyes,
which are baby blue with black lashes,
and very steady and disarming.
By way of compromise the king ac
cepted a package St expensive, cigar
ettes, whth immediately restored dip
lomatic relations.
No one knows the name of the hobo
king except the men who signed the
contract and two secretaries, one who
goes before him and a second who
follows after him to collect publicity
clippings and check up on his activi
ties to be sure the terms of the con
tract are not violated.
He is required to visit all . the prin
cipal cities In North America and
several foreign countries. He cannot
remain longer than twotweeks in one
place. He cannot receive more than
enough for one day's expenses for one
day's work.
MUST AID CHARITY
But he must distribute each week
$100 for charitable purposes. This
money he must 'bum." He must have
$1000 at the end of the trip. He had
$1 when he started. "
In appearance he looked like the son
of a millionaire who had been for a
week-end in the woods without a
handbag.
He needed a shave badly, and his
white flannel trousers and gray and
green tweed coat was dirty and
wrinkled. He wore no hat and was
very sunburned.
His publicity book says - he served
overseas, where, ha lost two fingers
from one hand, and tells of his bum
ming around cthe world I several times
and his 19 years of hobo experience.
He-'olaims to speak 11 languages. The
reporter did riot attempt to test this
claim. -
BEACH FLAPPERS ARE

kins, chairman of tha newspaper men's
Committee, as 'he watched a bevy of
lretty girls splash In ' the shallow
water at Wtndemuth.

AL J. X. VEBDICT
What the other newspaper men.
James fl- Sheehy, Lawrence G. Smyth
and AettAl S- Mafctre, said .were merely
- reiterations, in Ahe roost part, of the
statement of their companions. The
: latter ttrreo, however, probably said
- more, as they are unmarried, while
tha others are married, : and not so
used to-.doing the talking.
Tn contrast to the interest shown
' alike by inspectors and blathers in the
annual beach censoring, was the suave
indifference to the beaches attractions
of Earnest Vonr der Wertlh, skipper of
the Naughty Girt belonging to W. H. &
K.- Yon der Werth.ship builders, who
furnished the boat for the newspaper
men's committee.
AH the way up and flown the 'river,
from the beaches Vat the Portland
Flooring mills to The Oaks, Von der
Werth showed not a particle of at
.:" tentlon to the beach "flappers' .and
-mermaids that beckoned to his boat.
HQT7SEBOATEKS HArV
One thing that looked good to the
inspectors, a .they skirted .the house
boats at Willamette moorings and the
Oregon ' Yacht-dub, was the cool and
easy. life of the house boaters. Here
'half a dosen: persons, .clad in bathing
'suits, "were taking turns drying "from
'the porches of their homes into the
. river. Another fortunate one. wear
ing a -bathing suit, was seated in a
halr, .reading- a periodical.
, "Soft," declared Klingensmlth, whose
swivel chair and cool office loomed
- up In his mind as a burden when he
: !nw the advantages of houseboating.
!'. Again, as the Naughty Girl sped by
.the "old swlmmin' hole" near the In
'man-Poulson mill, south of the Haw
thorne bridge, a wistful expression
crossed the face of -Captain Circle, an
old Fortlander.
Thar the place," he said; pointing
. .with -his hand. A few dirty urchins
. ' jr era splashing there. Oily piling of a
. railroad cut diagonally across the
. beach. "The sand was strewn .with rub
bish. ;onehow, it didn't seem as dingy
- black in the days when the) captain,
- fsmed locally as a swimmr, took his
daily dtp in tha Willamette.
Hardly had Captain - Circlet" finished
Ma reminiscences, when the Naughty
Girl slipped into her moorings. The
day was over. -
Four newspaper men gathered at the
prow of the boat for a verdict
"Well, wha have we got to say
, ahout alt these" complaints about the
- beach flappers ?" demanded Chairman
' Perkins.
.- "Where do they get that stuff 7 was
the answer.
The chairman didn't get to vote. He
4ida't need to.

DEFEAT FOR SENATE

(Continued From Pass One)
are sufficiently independent of party
ties to throw their strength to a Re
publican candidate.
Naturally Mr. Reed will make an
effort to recover some of the Demo
cratic votes which were obviously op
posed to him. But lils majority wasn't
big enough to make certain a triumph
In the autumn for Democratic-Republican
fights in the last few years have
shown that the state shifted by narrow
majorities. Even If Reed can reeover
half of the Long vote or three-quarters
It would not be enough to win.
HEED GOOD CAMPAIGNER
.. As a campaigner, Jim Reed has few
equals in American politics. He may
swing votes galore before the elections
roll around. He Is shrewd enough to
make a bid for the Wilson vote in
Missouri, and to do It boldly, though
In similar circumstances Democratic
candidates who have found a divided
party in their campaigns have turned
to the Republicans for support. Former
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon is one
of the men who used to count on Re
publican votes every time he ran, and
that's why more than once he was
able to exhibit his independence of the
Wilson administration.
Apart from the result in Missouri,
the Republican administration can pri
vately derive ' much encouragement
from the defeat of Representative Phil
Campbell of Kansas, chairman of the
rules committee of the house. Just as
Senator McCumber as chairman of the
finance committee " has shown a dis
position to go along independently of
White House wishes, so has it ''been
difficult every now an dthen for the
administration to get Chairman Camp
bell to give a rule whereby important
legislation eould b brought to an early
vote
HABTJIXG'S HANDICAP
It is an open secret that Mr. Camp
bell's unwillingness to give the ad
ministration, a rule so aa to bring the
ship subsidy bill to a Vote has been
a handicap to Mr. Harding's pet meas
ure. The Democratic leaders here' do not
take a pessimistic view -of any of the
elections. The Missouri contest they
regard as a personal affair with an x
traneoua taflaanc brought is by Mr,
Wilson's earlier letters on Mr. Reed's
personality. ? They aay j .it, presages
nothing national or far reaching. - As
for Mr. Campbell's defeat i. Kansas,
they point to it as a sign of the times.
Mr. Campbell himself says idle strikers
voted almot eoltdly sgalnat him. This
straw is naturally made the most of
by the Democrats, who count upon tha
cumulative - power of all the discon
tented elements in the country to swing
congress ia their direction next fall.

Horace Humphreys, the Republican

and with, being short in his accounts aa
magistrate, but he was elected by a
tremendous majority in what is nor
mally a strong Democratic county.
The negroes all voted for Smith, the
Democratic candidate. but their
strength was evereome by the enorm

Negro Sentenced
To 13 Months on
Narcotic Charge
"Honesty is the 'nest policy," Federal
Judge R. B. Bean advised Shelley
Mitchell, colored, as he sentenced him
to 13 months in the Leavenworth prison
this morning. Mitchell's sentence fol
lowed immediately his conviction by a
Jury of violating the Harrison nar
cotic act. Albert Corley, who was a
Joint defendant, was- acquitted in the
same verdict.
The judge sharply criticised Mitchell
for trying to shove the blame for his
crime on to the shoulders of his com
panion, and indicated that in the-)
court's opinion he had not told the
truth.
The judge refased to consider a plea
for leniency advanced by Morris Gold
stein, counsel for Mitchell. Goldstein
pointed to Mitchell's military record,
and asked that time be allowed for the
75 days Mitchell has spent in jail wait
ing trial and also because Mitchell was
shot by the narcotic agents when ar
rested. At the time of the arrest Mitchell
attempted tt escape and was shot. The
wound did not prove serious. During
the trial Thursday Mitchell said he
ran away from the arresting officers
because he thought they were either
members of the Ku Klux Klan or rob
bers. Assistant Untied States Attorney Ma
gulre prosecuted and John Stevenson
defended Corley.

which was called off Thursday, did not

It distrubed their quiet and, having
seen a way to reduce the power of the
labor organisations, they war deter
mined to drive home their advantage to
the utmost. Those who la M19 and
1920 most feared for their property
were, en this occasion, the boldest.
The strike was Intended to force the
authorities to choose a ministry of the
left which would repress the Fascist!.
This aim wis not realised. The So
cialist surrender at the last moment,
when the Republican deputy, Turattl,
visited King Victor Emmanuel, cams
a year too late. Twelve months ago
the Socialists might have taken legal
power and. mitigated the reaction, but
today their forces are divided and their
power is shattered. The strike lacked
any precise aim. though It showed that
many stilt obey the, labor organisers
and win vote as Socialists at the com

It Is noteworthy that the new cabi
net, which contains a number of men
lass favorable to violence than those In
the preceding ministry, showed more
strength in the face of the strike
threats and warned both sides that no
nonsense would be permitted.
Generally speaking, the strikers and"
the Fascist! abstained from violence.
