Entangled in a web of love, high Snance and religion, the Rev. Jen sUnson, who is a former pastor of Jrresbyterlan churches in Chicago, Tayuga, Ind., and Brush, Colo., smilingly "tells the world" that his JU experience here Is a real treat, ""though the benches are hard," and says that his conscience is ab Mutely clear.

Officials question the legality of marriage. I iiIih Infidelity. In his cell at city Jail Jenklnson tly denied charges of infidelity unst him. "When I walk along th3 streets a thank Cod that no woman can Hstint to me and say that sho had ttsw wrong kind of a love affair With me," he said. "Listen, brother, and I'll tell aou." smiled Jenklnson In referring e his first wife. "When I think my first wife I recall that popu r song: 'I laugh When I Think tow I Cried About You.' My first wife wanted to be a soc il butter fly, and it was whilv she was still tmy wife that 1 got the Idea of mi taking money instead of Just teaching. -My business transactions are ntirely honest," Jenklnson said, rfwcusslng these money-making 1MTO8 that led to his arrest.

Kxplainlng his scheme, Jenkln on said he maintained a boys' some In Omaha where nearly 100 live. "I ask them," he said, "Tiow much It costs them to live. Invariably the reply names a fig w from IK-, to $100 a month. 1 attve them room, board and laun dftry for $65 a month, and make tQsem a present of some stock In say oil shale company as a bonus. In my working boys' home I can feed the lads very good for $25 a month. I planned a home that would accommodate 1,000 boys. My arrangement would result in a (profit of $40 a month from each r 1,000 boys $40,000 a month r $480,000 a year profit. "And the best of it I am doing tthe boys a favor. 1 cannot be prosecuted under the so-called blue kky law, or any other kind of a Law, because my company Is all viftht. If I'm wrong on oil shale, then Governor Slump, Sir John Madman, Lord Foster and scores of others are wrong in their concep tion of the value of oil shale. "However, I dislike the idea of snlllng stock, so in the last month ve bought back several thousand dollars' worth that 1 had previous ly sold." "I like to preach.' Jenklnson Continued. "I still preach to the great Woh College Student. "I studied six years in the Uni versity of Illinois and other schoolB I played on the championship basketball team in Chicago; I was athletic instructor for the largest church in Chicago. They cannot say of-me that 'he did not try.' And It is ridiculous to charge that I had affairs with women. That Is the most fantastic thing that can be said of me, because It Is opposed to all my principles. 1 believe firm ly In the single standard of moral ity." His intention to make cheap gas oline, Jonklnson said, involved the "mixing of the crudest kerosene and an oxidizing agent witli wa ter. It will make the highest-test gasoline in the land." Jenklnson said he was enjoying 'great experience" in Jail. "I've been working too hard and needed vacation," he said, "and I will remain in Jajll until 1 rot before accepting bail and surrendering one ot irtv convictions.

Such is the view of Professor Ar- naldo Agnelli, under-secretary of state for the treasury, stated In an interview. The view strikes a note of optimism in Europe's financial discord because Italy has been con sidered the weak link in the en tente chain, and the nation most threatened by bolshevistic tenden cies. "For the present yea"r," Agnelli said, "we can calculate on an in crease in revenue of four billion lire over the previous year. The greatest impulse to the revenue is due to the firm hand and de termined will of the present gov- erament. The Glolitti cabinet has decided that all war excess profits should be confiscated by the state. Must Improve Excluingi'. "Therefore, we can look forward with full confidence of faith. On the whole, the situation is very far from discouraging. "There is urgent need for activi ty in every field of our economic life. We must endeavor by every means to improve our exchange. with American, British, and Frenc't. currency. Our export trade is al ready on the increase." Italy is convinced that trade with Russia is a necessity in the cam paign of post-war revival. "I have been authorized by Slg nor Giolitti," said Professor Agnel li, "to accept three conditions put forward by the Italian vo-operative representatives, These are: "That regular fortnightly com munication be established between the Black sea ports and the Italian ports. "The soviet representatives in Italy to be fully assisted by the government officials and the ex perts belonging to private enter prises. "Telegraphic and postal services to be guaranteed at once by the ministry concerned."

C. Kellev, nsistant state highway engineer, who has been ing the negotiations chanke states that highway involved east of Crater lake. "All of the peaks are visible from the line and with the timber left standing it would make a very scenic stretch of road but If the timber is allowed to be devastated j adjacent to tne highway it wuutd be a sore spot entirely out of keeping with the beauty of Crater Lake re gion," Kelley declares.
