PEOPLE WHO
KNEW HOOVER
mo Affectation In Bert's
Case" Say Hoover's
Salem Friends While
Commenting Upon His
Attachments.

HQXer.s record right up to the pres
ent time is one confirming his early
reputation for courtesy and kindli.
ness says Joseph H. Albert, president
of the Capital National bank. MIR. AL
bert had very little opportunity tc
meet Hoover, during his boyhood here
as the bank president was getting into
the banking game at the bottom rune
of the ladder, and Hoover was work
ing over time in the office of the Ore
gon Land company.
However, Mr. Albert has pleasant
recollections of visit to Stanford uni
versity with Hoover in 1888, two years
after the future food administrator
had entered the California college.
Despite the limited chance for pre-
vious acquaintance, Bert, met me a.
Manic Park and showed himself to be
genuine good fellow, escorting me
through the grounds and doing every
thing to make my first visit to the
school enjoyable, recalls the banker.
"Our impression Of him is that he is
most thoughtful, courteous and unself-
ish."
Prominence and prosperity These
are two Of the causes Of exaggerated
ego" and common "onery class bufnp-
tiousness." None OF that in Bert's
case, when you come to know him"
says another Of Herbert Hoover's old
er Salem acquaintanees. Perhaps
many of the Journal readers have
heard of Hoovers action In making
an allowance for his grandmother
Mrs. Mary Minthorn, during her last
years.
When Hoover returned In 1900 from
China, he was already known as one
of the highest salaried mining engi-
neers on the Pacific coast. There Is
no sign that this recognition Of his
fight for advancement had
turned the head of the former Salem
lad, Immediately after arriving In the
United States, Hoover came to Salem
for visit to Grandma Minthorn.
Although grandma was well pro
vided for, SO far as her immediate
needs were concerned, Bert's allenusn
was drawn to the fact that grandma"
liked to have little extra money for
charity and for the aid of the strug-
Cling Quaker church. And so, Bert set
aside certain sum for her. When
grandma expostulated with him for
doing this, said is said to have received
this reply; Grandma, 1t Is that have
plenty. What is to hinder my placing
q sum at thy credit and thou need 10
worry thysef no more concerning tine
matter" This incident is vouched for
by Mrs Phoebe Hammer of Salem, an
aunt and sister of Herbert Hoover.
Hoover's thoughtfulness in this
manner is reflective of his mother
Appreciation OF the aid and encour-
agemept given him by Mrs. Minthorn
while Bert was preparing for fse
larger battle of life.

Prussia seems to be the nucleus
around which military leaders have
built up their movement. Reports
from other parts Of Germany would
indicate that Gustav Noslxe, minister
Of defense in the old government, has
forces 1T his disposal. and there is
popular opposition to the new regime
Even in Hamburg the old government
is said to have taken control OF strat
legic points and the Hamburg senate
has issued proclamation denounc-
ing the new government and assert
ing its intention to retain control In
that state.
Political Support Lacking
Men who are directing the policies
of the government headed by DIR.
Wolfgang Kapp have not yet secured
political support, although state
ment issued lust night declared the
prestige of the government has In
creased In South Germany since Sat
urday. Fatalities In fighting at F'rank
fort and adoption of resolutions by
workmen at Dusseldorf, Essen and
Cologne against the revolt would not
reflect sentiment in those localities
favorable to the new government,
Strike orders We're issued here yes
terday and 1t is expected the critical
moment for the new government
win come when worlSmen walk out.
Chancellor Kapp has announced he
would take decided steps to suppress
any insurrection by strikers, In some
sections the strike order Is said not
to be viewed with favor. but there
are indications the socialist parties
win attempt to bring about total
tieup OF business today or tomorrow.
Democracy Assured
Chancellor Kapp has issued mani
festos In an attempt to convince tho
people the government over which he
is presiding will insure the establish
ment OF real democracy In Ger
many. Promises that elections will be
held as soon as quiet is restored have
been given, and the people have been
informed that maintenance OF order,
and protection OF the eountry's een-
nomic life will be the only reasons Tor
the taking OF drastic steps by the
government.
Announcement was made by the
new government late tonight~of re-
ports from Munich that the Bavarian
socialist government had resigned
and that troops were in control Of
that city. The report added that the
lantag would meet Tuesday to form
a new government.
Another announcement by the Kapp
government stated that conditions in
East Prussia were quiet.
As regards Hamburg, the govern
ment statement said the situation
there was not clear. II added
"In Mecklenburg-sch strikes
have taken place. Saxony Is quiet and
the troops are neutral General
Mercken has ordered that no strikes
take place. stettln, Hanover. Hesse
