Preacher's Visions of
Fame Blasted When He's
Arrested as Swindler
Denver, Oct. 21. The dream of
Wuae and fortbne of the Rev. Kol
mrt E. JenkJnHon, twenty-four-year-aM
preacher and oil shale stock
atUeaman, who aspired to the dizzy
eights of financial power that he
might become America's greatest
jgbilanthropist, has been blasted
auid the youthful clergyman will be
Mturned to Omaha, Neb., where he
M accused of fraudulently secur
ing large sums of money In con
nection with an oil shale stock pro

lty, despite the fact that he stout
ar maintains his innocence of any
wrong-doing, declaring that his
amnsactions have been entirely
tMnest.
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.

Jenklnson was divorced by his
wife in Denver on August 20
i the ground of "mental and phy-
I cruelty." Mrs. .lenklnson, who
the daughter of a prominent
h, Colo., family, I charged,
ong other things, that the min-
"ran around with other wo-
mn."
He was married for the second
ne within three weeks of the
lilting of the final decree of di-
wrcd from his first wife, to MIsb
jNartba Peterson, of Havelock, Neb.
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. "I am
wot selling stock in my company,
Mx United Shale till Company
Jfm giving it away. Eventually my
B&un would have netted me an an
nual income of $480, U0O."
Ki plains Ills Scheme.
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

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

against a total expenditure of twenty-five
billion, but the financial fu
ture of Italy, one of the keenest
sufferers of the war, is not dis
couraging. 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.

Italy is convinced that trade with

"I have been authorized by Slg

li, "to accept three conditions put
forward by the Italian vo-operative
representatives, These are:
"That regular fortnightly com

Oregon Must Have a Port Equal to
Any Port on the Pacific Coast
Initiative measure No. 310 on the ballot gives to the Port of Portland means
to create such a port.
The primary object of this bill is to furnish the means to insure the
opening and maintaining of a 30-foot channel from Portland to the sea and
of building and establishing port facilities at the City of Portland suffi
cient to handle the foreign and coastwise shipping of that port.
The cost of this improvement will be met by the people living within
the boundaries of the Port of Portland.
When you go to the polls November second, vote 310 YES and give to
the Port of Portland the power to maintain its 30-foot channel to the sea
and to build adequate port facilities to handle all of the great products of
the interior of the state.
The passage of this bill Means Lower Freight Rates for the products
of Oregon in reaching the markets of the world and a consequent greater
profit to the producers.
This is the most important and the most valuable measure that has
ever been put up to the voters of the interior portions of the state. m
