SILVERTON, Ore., Mar. 10.
(Special to the Statesman) That
honesty, IS not a forgotten virtue
is conclusively proved by the let
ter which Mrs. M. J. Madsen re
cently received from an old man of
76 years. .
' He writes that 49 years ago in
Virginia Mr. HJorth, the father or
Mrs. Madsen, was able to accom
modate him with the small sum
of $126. and that although he had
not forgotten the debt he had been
unable to meet more than the
most necessary expenses during
this long period, , and that eves
now . he would have been unable
to meet' the obligation had it not
been tor a small snm he had fal
en heir to recently. :.
He had investigated and found
that Mr.-HJorth had died a few
years ago and so sent the money
on to the heirs. . ... .
Nervous Transient is Sus
pected Pervert, Until Shoe
Theft is Admitted
H. Hanson, transient, is not the
moral pervert who is being sought
by Salem cltlsens and officers. But
H. Hanson is in Jail this morning
ust because his suspicious actions
brought him into an acquaintance
ship with Patrolman O. F, Victor
And the acquaintanceship was
certainly .well won by the big Sa
lem patrolman, for Hanson had
reasons to make a getaway and
having a good lead on the police,
he did hia darndeat.
A small posee of citizens and
several automobiles joined in the
pursuit, which wound through
south j Salem streets and finally
ended! when Hanson took refuge
in the basement : of a residence
near South Commercial and Mil
ler streets. The driver of a deliv
ery car was instrumental in pur
suing i Hanson : into his basement
hiding place.
Hanson explained that he had
fled because' he had stolen a pair
of shoes, it is reported. Accord
ing to Night Sergeant Ralph Dav
is. Hanson made a similar confes
sion at the police station. It Is
reported that - Hansen took the
shoes from a display stand at the
Hauser brothers' store on State
street.
And they were too small for me
at that," moaned Hanson, after
being conducted to the' Salem bas-
tlle by Patrolman Victor.
Following his theft of the shoes
Hanson Is said to have retired to
Mill Creek near Bush's pasture
It happens that Hansen s general
description answers that of the
pervert who attacked two little
girls here Sunday. As the scene
of the attack was near the spot
where the crime took place, Han
son attracted the attention of pas
sers-by and the pursuit followed.

the Atlantic were recounted to
day by the'sklper and' crew of the
2 09-ton schooner Eileen Lake,

H. Hornsworthy, and his men,
were picked up by the Belgian
steamer Persier and taken to Ant
werp. Today they were brought
back by the Corsican.
After leaving the distressed
schooner, it was a hard fight to
keep the frail craft from being
swamped by the high waves, the
skipper said. George Foresew, the
cook, dropped dead among his
companions and was burled at sea.
On the second day a ship passed
without seeing the frantic signals
of the men. That night the Bel
gian steamer Persier was signalled
and took aboard the men.
The Corsican also brought from
Antwerp the shipwrecked captain
and crew of the three masted
schooner Optimist, of Newfound
land, which lost her sails and be
gan leaking January 2tf while en
route here from Spain with a car
go of salt.
Drifting helplessly, and with
lifeboats smashed, the Optimist
was sighted by the steamer Am
petico, January- 28. Captain John
Eva ns of the Optimist decided his
many more hours, whereupon toe
sand his crew boarded the Ampet-
ico and arrived in Antwerp Feb

American Delegation Declar
ed By Opponents to Have
Kept Action Hidden from
Public.
HUGHES ACCUSED OF
MISLEADING PRESS
Senator Underwood Sched
uled to Make Prepared
Address Early Today
WASHINGTON, March 10.
Pressing their attack on the
manner in which the four-power
Pacific treaty waB negotiated, the
treaty's opponents declared on
the ' senate floor today that the
American delegation to the arms
conference not only concealed
knowledge of the negotiations
from the public but was respon
sible for the dissemination of
misleading reports concerning
them. ,
Hughes Accused
At the time when the an
nouncement of the treaty's con
clusion was "imminent," Sec re
tary Hughes, it was asserted by
Senator Robinson, Democrat, Ar
kansas, told newspaper corre
spondents that he had no know!
eage 01 any such project. As a
result, the Arkansas senator de
clared, the press was not only in
accurately informed, Ixut news-
paperment assigned to the con
ference suffered professionally
because they placed reliance on
what Mr. ughes told them.
That the secretary of state had
made such denials was charac
terled by Senator Lodge. Repub
lican, Massachusetts, member of
the American delegation as "ir
reconcilable."
Mr. Lodge declared that the
project tor a Pacific concord had
been discussed by him with Mr.
Hughes before the. conference
began.
Senator Robinson's charge
Was made during a brief flurry
of debate just before the treaty
was laid aside for the day to give
right of way to a Judiciary bill.
At first the administraUon
eaders had opposed interruption
of the treaty discussion to take
up the bill, but so many senators
asked for more time to prepare
inerr speeches that a truce was
agreed to.' Senator Lodge an
nounced, however, that tomor
row he would insist that the
senate reach a vote on the first
of the proposed reservations.
Johnson Gets Ready
The Democratic leader. Sena
tor Underwood, of Alabama, also
a member of the arms delegation
is to make a prepared address on
the treaty as soon as tomorrow's
session begins. Several of the
"trreconcilables" opposing the
treaty have been waiting to hear
Mr. underwoodfs speech before
preparing their own.
The first reolr to the minorltv
leader is expected to be made
Monday by Senator Johnson. Re-
puoucan, California.

Belligerent Non-Coopera-
tidnist Leader of India
Arrested at Ahmed abad
BOMBAY, March 10. -(By The
Associated Press) India's non
cooperationlst leader, Mohandus
K. Ghandl, has been arrested at
Ahmedabad, S10 miles north of
Bombay. He Is charged with se
dition.
LONDON. March 10. (By The
Associated Press) Mohandis K.
Ghandl, the Indian non-coopera-
tionlst leader, has been placed un
der arrest. This announcement
was made by the Indian office to
night.
No details were given as to the
place and manner of his arrest,
but the announcement says there
has been no trouble so' far.
Is Revolt Chief
Mohandas K. Ghandi, leader of
the nationalist movement in India
Is the central figure of the' re
markable ''pacifist revolution"
which has stirred the 313,000,000
people of the Indian empire as.
perhaps, never before since the
days of the Sepoy mutiny.
He has been called a philosoph
ic anarchist, a new Tolstoi. He
became more dominant than ever
in the campaign against British
rule in India when, in December
last, the Indian national congress
in its annual session at Ahmeda
bad Invested him with sole execu
tive powers of that congress with
authority to appoint his successor
"in any emergency."
Boycott Attempted
The congress voted to suspend
all other activities in order to
concentrate upon civil disobed
ience, a feature of which was to
the enlistment in the National
Volunteer corps but included also
refusal to pay taxes and an at
tempt to boycott British goods.
Soon after the congress ad
journed Gandhi sent a manifesto
to Lord Reading, the viceroy, of
fering to abandon aggressive
plans provided the government
set free his followers, many hun
dreds of whom were in prison,
and provided the press was re
leased from administrative con
trol and fines and forfeitures re
stored.
The British India office
promptly announced lliat it
would not discuss such demands
and that it intended to adopt
(.tern measures to suppress ; the
campaign of civil disobedience.
Pajuiive Resistance
Non-violence and non-coopera
tion with the Indian government
have been the fundamental prin
ciples of Gandhi's campaign. His
ideas have dominated the Indian
congress and his appointment as
executive of that body virtually
made him dlstator of the revolu
tionary movement. He sought to
attain swaraJ, (self-determination
or freedom for every one) by non-
resisance by conquering the ene
my by love.
Gandhi has been described as a
dark, little wiap of a man. who
has fasted so long and often that
he is physically a rot re shadow of
a man,: He was born 52 years ago

August Huckestein, Democrat, has held the office for
more than-eljht years, his term expiring July 21, 1921. Both
of the other candidates for the office are ReDubllean.
It is by a Republican president and a Republican' con- f
gress that the nomination will be made and confirmed.
While Democrats have often teen certified as elbit!?.
they have not at all times found smooth sailing. The clvU
service commissioners have selected these three men on the
basis of their examinations.
At Astoria, the Democratic postmaster was given the
highest . rating, but was not appointed. V
At any rate the list is now narrowed down to three and
it is up to a Republican ' congress to confirm the appoint
ment taf be made by President Harding. ,!i -
v According to what has been done in the past, he can
select any one of the three candidates and comply with the
civil service rules.
Securing four points out of a
possible six in the debates with
the .two debate teams from Mll

unanimous vote from the three
Judges at Milwaukie. The nega

Twice they did it:
In last night's Freshman Glee
contest at the armory the class ot
1922 of Wllamette, the present
senior class, won the pennant of
the 14 th annual glee.
The class of 1825 came nextln
honor, the second time this class
has won it. The first time was in
1920 with three points less than
the ' seniors. The r Juniors were
third and the sophomore class
rated fourth place.
The song that took the priie
was a; college song entitled "Will
amette Conqueror," having two
verses and choruses. ;
Fred McGrew composed the
words and music of the song and
Miss Eva Roberts was at the pi
ano. The four Eengs, a reading by
Miss Louise Joughin, a solo by
Miss Mable Marcus and a number
by the 'varsity quartet composed
the program. The quartet was a
decided hit. Encore was demand

blows at the affirmative case by
its convincing proof that the plan
