SAYS HE STOLE
 FOR EXERCISE
Fred Swanson is Prisoner at Police Station Pending Investigation of His Ad- mission He Just CouLdn t Help Pilfering

Stealing for the mere pleasure of 1t ana for the exercise entailed is new one in the records of the local police, but in the arrest early last evening ot Fred Swanson, who admits he is pet tv piIferer. Chief of Police Moore be- Heves he has unearthed one of the most unioue cases in the history Of the department Claiming to have S9O0 III a local bank and possessed of $l4 when arrested. swanson acknowledged that he is liable to take almost anything of value upon which he can place his hands.
 out on East Portland street swan son occupied a small portable house, where he lived more or less the life of q recIuse. He spent most of the day light hours in sleeping. At night be- cause he needed the exercise, he prOWled Incidentally his prowlings, according to his own statement. led him into the backwards of people living out in the Brill addition. It made no diff ference whether it was moonlight or in the dark of the moon, Swanson was just enough of nyctalops to be able to see better the darker it became.
 The latest acquisition of Swanson,
 
 of cement sacks which he sold for two and half cents each, despite the fact that the market price is ten cents per sack. Whatever seemed easy to acquire and for which he felt that he might sometime have use or for which he was of the opinion he might find market was prey for him.
 When suspicion began to point to him as the purlOiner of various articles which had disappeared from the resi- dences in the vicinity Chief Moore de- tailed a man to watch for Swanson. Late yesterday afternoon Swanson ap- peared at the door of his place of abode and was at once placed under arrest.
 Indicating the versatility of the man. Swanson told a story of having ac- quired a speckled hen by the under ground method He wasn't particular ly in need of a hen at that time and he thought eggs would be better than stew. But he realized too that he couldn't keep that hen with it's telltaIe speckles without in some manner ob- literating them. Then a bright idea struck him and he proceeded to give the fowl lamp black bath After that the hen was allowed to enjoy her free dom until the fatal day arrived when she was destined to grace Swanson's table.
 Swanson says that he had means enough to have lived comfortably with out resOrting to thieving but that he rather felt that it was good exercise. A search of his premises is to be made today in an effort to locate further stolen plunder believed to be hidden there.
