WASHINGTON. Aug. 20.
(AP) Two moves toward reliev
ing congestion in federal peniten
tiaries were disclosed today by
President Hoover and Attorney
Oeneral Mitchell.
The first, as announced by the
president, contemplates use by the
department of justice of three mil
itary prisons for incarceration of
criminals until completion of the
pending $6,250,000 construction
program. Subsequently the attorney-general
said the budget bu
reau had received that program,
calling for a new penitentiary in
the northeast, industrial reform-!
atory In the west and three short
term jails in sections yet to be se
lected.
President Hoover had conferred
with Secretary. Good and Mr.
Mitchell regarding the availability
of the military prisons. They de
termined the disciplinary barracks
at Fort Leavenworth eould be
turned over to the department ot
usttce temporarily as soon as the
COO military prisoners there could
be transferred.
The disciplinary barracks at
Governor's Island and at Alcatras
also were said to be available If
necessary, but at present the jus
tice department does not content
plate their use.
Attorney-General Mitchell said
the Fort Leavenworth barracks
could accommodate 1,800, and
after these barracks are turned
over in about two weeks they
prooaoiy win do operated: as a
part ot Leavenworth penitentiary.
As soon as organization is com
pleted, prisoners will be trans
ferred there from the Atlanta and
Leavenworth penitentiaries, la
each ot which there are now- 3,700
prisoners, although the prisons
were designed to hold half as
many.
The new penitentiary will cost
13,000.000, the reformatory SI,
500,000. and three jails 1250.000
mr. xniicneu said tne program
first would have to be authorized
by the budget bureau and con
gress, and then would take about
six years for completion.
The attorney general hopes the
use of the Leavenworth barracks
will meet the situation until the
new penitentiary is completed. It
will be designed to accomiaedate
2,000 prisoners, wbile the indus
trial reformatory would accommo
date 1,000 prisoners and each of
the Jails not more than 500 pri
soners. He said the -reformatory
would be conducted along the
lines of the present federal re
iormatory for first offenders at
Chllllcothe, Ohio, which is a non
walled prison.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.
(AP) At 4:09 o'clock this aft
ernoon, Doland Templeman, for
mer army aviator, had completed
30 hours in the air, and had ten
more hours to go to accomplish

solo endurance flying.
Officials at Mills field, where
Templeman took off Monday
morning at 10:09 o'clock, said

made with Templeman's plane

"Klwanls can do nothing more
lmnortant than to help the young
xaan to find his proper place in
life," Kiwanlan Howard W. Coo
per told the delegates to the con
vention Tuesday morning in open
ing the reports to be at the ses
sion ia the state capitol. "Some
dabs give their vocational guid
ance program orally, contacting
the various boys which the club
wants to reach by personal conver
sations. Others have written pro
grams ot Instruction." Cooper
cited one club which had organ
ised a junior Klwanls for the ex
press purpose of assisting In the
vocational guidance of the various
boys in their community.
Charles F. Walker, later In the
day elected northwest governor
for the ensuing year, reported for
the district committee on Klwanls
education. He stressed the fact
that only one-third of the clubs'
committees on Klwanls education
had regular meetings and de
plored this tact. Walker charac
terized Klwanls, through a series
ot apt Illustrations, as a form and
an instrumentality through which
force is manifest. Klwanls is
Walker's opinion, constitutes one
of the greatest means In the na
tion of making the forces ot hon
esty, loyalty, integrity and sim
ilar building forces, manifest.
Harry Nobbs of Vancouver, B.
C, chairman of the district com
mittee on Klwanls efficiency,
made the presentation of awards
for the year to different clubs
which had won prizes tor club
excellence.
In the gold division Spokane
was awarded first place; Astoria
was winner both of northwest and
International honors In the silver
division; in the blue division, Til
lamook and Elma took first hon
ors while la the white division,
the awards went to the Wenatchee

"We are having a wonderful

Questioned today in the district

case ot Alexanderfantages, 64
year old theatre magnate, who is
charged with a statutory offense
upon Eunice Pringle, 17 year old
dancer. Pantages is due to en
ter his Plea to the charge on
Thursday.
The new witnesses, who were
questioned by Chief Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Robert P. Stewart
were Marie Lowell, stenographer
employed by Pantages and Ruth
May. cashier at Pantages theatre
Stewart said that both girls made
lengthy statements concerning the
case against Pantages, but he de
clined to disclose any details.
Simultaneously Stewart stated
that death threats had been made
against another girl accuser of
Pantages, a former usherette in
the Pantages theatre who has sub
mitted an affidavit charging him
with attempting to attack her by
force a year ago. The former
usherette's identity has been kept
secret, but despite this, Stewart
stated. an unidentified man
threatened her by telephone.
"You may think your identity
is a secret," the deputy said the
man had telephoned, "but you are
known and if you don't keep your
mouth shut you will be taken for
a ride."
The deputy said as the result
he had assigned two detectives to
guard the girl and watch over her
home. Shortly after Pantages'
arrest on Miss Prlngle's charges,
similar threats were made to her
and she was given police protec
tloa.

Dr. Wllford H. Belknap of Port

Governor T. Harry Gowman's tro
phy for the best flve-mlnute ora
tion on Klwanls when he was call
ed before the Klwanls banqueters
at the armory Tuesday night and
informed that his speech earlier
ra the day had been pronounced
the best by the three judges. Bel
knap received continued applause
as he returned to his Portland
table after being informed by
Governor Gowman that the tro
phy would be presented to him
at an early meeting ot the Port
land club.
The contest, held Tuesday
morning at the state capitol, was
a unique feature introduced this
year by the governor of the north
west district. The speakers, chos
en in elimination contests held
this spring in the nine divisions
ot the northwest district, each
brought a stirring message ot Kl
wanls loyalty to the delegates.
Choosing as his theme "Seven
Questions of Kiwanis," Nelson J
Craig of Everett, Wash., repre
senting the second division ot the
district, made a graphic presenta
tion of the means which Kiwanis
adopts to make Its members vital
to the community.
"Service is the rental which we
pay for the space we occupy on
earth," declared Warren Butler of
Tacoma, Wash., who spoke as the
representative of the third divi
sion. Butler is secretary of his
own club and received hearty ap
plause from ths Tacoma delegation.
Kiwanis was likened to the
business of play enactment by
Matt Themes of Spokane. He di

declared.
With a driving bit ot oratory
through which was woven similies
and metaphores taken from the
medical profession. Dr. Willis K.
Belknap of Portland likened Kl
wanls to the human body which
he characterized as the most re
markable instrument in all the
world. Unity, cooperation, brav
ery and loyalty are all necessitat
ed from one who would safeguard
his body, said Belknap. Just so
such qualities are required of the
successful Kiwanlan.
Frank Bennett, of Tillamook,!
speaking for division eight which
includes Salem, declared that the
nation was engaged in an experi
ment ot self government whose
success would be dependent upon
the development of capable men.
