"As nor Blll tThompson, I -will follow in the footsteps of the men who made us what we are, and if that isn't good enough for the newspapers they can call me what they damn please." (applauee.) "Outwalking the undertaker" i3 the task which Clarence H (Casey) Jones, Boy Scout, of Bur lington, Skag t county, Washing ton, has set for himself, and to date he has led that funereal in dividual a 30.000 .mile chase in ' the last three years. Friday night he lodged in Salem, Jim three " days out on his present venture, which he expects will take him around the world. He had exactly 25 cents in his possession when he visited The Statesman offfice, but that is one of the least of his troubles. I "Casey" Jones father died of; tuberculosis at the age of 30, and the son showed symptoms of the disease three years ago! When he started out on his first long hike, he was unable to climb a flight of stairs without becoming exhaust-, ed. Health came back gradually; he built himself up from 110 pounds to 206. Then, while stopping at home for a time, the idle gossip of neighbors drove him to work, against the advice of his physic ian, and he lost 75 pounds. Today he is back to 147, after another trip which took him across 35 states. Hiking alone in 4 3 states, as well as Into Canada and through three Mexican states, and earning all of his way as he goes, is a task that might daunt many a youth, but young Jones finds much in his travels to interest him. He has collected the autographs of the governors of many states, and also those of people even more noted: Governor Al Smith, Lnther Bur lk. Bill Hart, General E. F. i frey, Indian fighter; Chief Standing Bear, of the -Sioux; Da kota Clad Jones. Jack Dempsey, Clfvernor Hartley -of Washington, Miriam (Ma) Ferguson, - Nellie Tayloe Ross, once woman gover nor of Wyoming; Joseph us Dan iels, former secretary of the navy; Queen Marie of Koumania, Prince W'iliam of Sweden, John Philip Sousa, rnd many others. Caey" was in Seattle on Col. Charles the "Lon Eagle;" but seeing an "autograph crowd" approaching. Lindy decided not to set a danger ous precedent. Jones called on Governor Pat terson Saturday morning, and then contijgvd on his way south to San Diefco and then east. His note book also contains h'-s own draw ings of many of the famous people he has met. fill S era AXXUAL nrvXEU FU.M SEP ARATE FROM ALL OTHERS liquor OF Fll CAUSE is TWO PAY Third Defidant Isn'vBoot- leggerj Cas Two bonleeeers ai man who ad liquor So He Hsn't For Penalty one other his poscs- In order to clarify the situation with ."ga'd to the -nnual Salva Mon trm, campaign for Christmas rheer funds, Ens gn Pitt Friday night gave out the following statement: "The Salvation Army has begun to realize the Jr'tmas needs of 'he COmm HltV.
