SINCLAIR WILL
JOIN 400 IN
JAIL SOCIETY
Wealth to Win No Special
Favors, Prison Attaches
Assert.
BY ARTHUR +. DEGREVE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April Hilary
F. Sinclair, oil baron, will be one OF
the 400 when he comes to the
nations capital soon on an enforced
ninety-day visit.
There are 493 persons in the
Washington jail now.
Some have had experiences with
millionaire cell-mateS before and
are inclined to remember the Incl
dents with feeling.
One Pennsylvania millionaire &C
Cepted a more comfortable cot from
a prisoner and when he left didn't
purchase his benefactor a cigar or
say thanks.
We'll treat him nicely but won't
look up to him with hope Of get
ting something SOFT one prisoner
said. He'll be just one of the boys
and be treated that way"
Jail attaches already have sigri-
fed their intention of showing Sin
clair no especial consideration be-
cause of his wealth.
The oil baron will escape at least
one court when he arrives in Wash
ington-the kangaroo" court, There
isn't any at the district jail.
No kangaroo session, where the
prisoner is fined" the sum allotted
him for tobacco and other delicacies
by the prisoners court, have been
held in years.
While it was admitted Sinclair
would be lucrative prey, attaches
said the court" would not be
formed.
Accustomed to luxurious front
apartments and suites, the oil multi
millionaire probably will have to
be satisfied with third floor rear
quarters for three months.
He probably will be given a cot
in the dornaitory, it was learned.

It is so easy. All We do is put a

CEATTLE, Wash, April ia
~ romance that started in a 15-
cent motion picture house led to
the $4,000 breach of promise suit
filed against Mrs. Minnie MAJ
Kennedy, the Rev. H. H. Clark,
plaintiff, asserted today.
The "broken-h hearted" minister
plaintiff said Mrs. Kennedy was
responsible for the unconventional
meeting.
I was seated in dark corner
of the theater when Mrs. Kennedy
came in and took a seat by me-"
Mr. Clark said.
She began to lean over against
me almost Immediately and kept
on doing it even after I had moved
as far away as I could without &C
tually leaving. Soon, she spoke to
me and when I went out she fol-
lowed and persuaded me to have
dinner with her"
The meeting led to a series Of
"love trysts" in Seattle hotels, he
continued.
In the trySts, the mother of
Aimee SempIe McPher -. assert
edly trapped the plaintiff into a
compromising situation by prom
Uses of marriage" Mr.. Clark
charged.
Mr.. Clark said Mrs Kennedy
was known to him as Mrs. Mary
c. Klark" and that Mrs. Kennedy
used that name in all their meet
ings.
a CHECK Of hotels showed that
L n Mrs. Kennedy or Mrs.
Klark' registered on four differ

Mrs. Klark' occupied the same
room in the Bergonian hotel on

rooms in the same hotel on April
%.
The register, however. showed
that Mrs. Kennedy was registered
under her own name on those
dates while Clark commended she
registered as Mrs. Klark" on
both occasions.
A room clerk recalled that the
couple was registered and that
they checked out Jan. 81, but he
said he could not remember them
by name.
While the minister continued
his recital, Mrs. Kennedy was is
suing denialS of his story and &C
cusing him of blackmail.

Lets talk about the regular man
who becomes a success in his home
town. He makes money and a posi-
ton. But he gets SO tied in by
what's expected of him that he's got
to Stifle everything that's inside of
him. He can't have any more fun
in his home town than coed
when her parents are home.
But when he gets to New York!!!
All, then he can let go and be him
self. I've had the Prince of Wales
and Governor of Rome and all sorts
of poo-bahs in my night club. When
they came in they checked their
dignity at the door. Everybody
wants to play and have fun.
when they go out for a good
time, they go out for good time.
They may drop dead when they get
the check, but while they're having
their fun they don't worry about
money.
There one well-known man who
comes to my place. His greatest
pleasure is to walk up to the cash
register, ring up $4,000 and say to
me;
"'Say, Tex, let me know when
that's used up and I'll ring up an
other! 1 see to it that it's used up.
But in his own home town he'd
probably squaWk like blazes if he
had to pay SIS cover charge. I
know,-why, I was asked to open a
night club in Chicago orce. 7 looked
the place over one night and saw
people there who come to my place
and spend hundreds.

STRIKES, LABOR
TROUBLES FACE
COTTON STATES
Union Leaders Blame Low
Wages for General
Unrest.

3" Times Special
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, April II.
The industrial south is undergoing
the first serious growing pains Of its
magic development.
Starting at this mountain city in
east Tennessee strikes and labor
troubles have spread into North
Carolina and South Carolina and
have agitAted workers all through
the industrial sections.
While southern business men have
blamed the strikes and disturbances
on labor organizers, William Green,
president Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, says they have been
due to poor wages and the workers
themselves.
Edward z. McGrady, legislative
representative Of federation. agrees
with Green, as does Alfred Hoff-
man Of the United Textile Workers
Union. McGrady and Hoffman
we're kidnapped here, taken out of the
state and warned not to return on
penalty Of death.
Green Answers Insult"
McGrady says the Strike which
occurred here a few weeks ago was
the beginning Of the industrial I'M
rest in the southeastern states. He
said the workers at the American
FlanstOG and American Bemberg
plants struck for higher wages and
finally obtained them.
Textile workers in other south
eastern plants learned what had
happened in EliZabethton and
walked out and demanded better
pay, according to McGrady.
Green came here last Sunday.
but did so because McGrady and
Hoffman had been kidnapped, and
because he believed that organized
labor had been "insulted' and the
insult had to be answered.
Green's answer was to demand
the prosecution OF the kidnaperS
and 10 pledge the aid of the fedora
ton to the textile workers and their
union.
Plants German Owned
While largely due to the same
causes the strike situation IN Ten
neSsee is quite different from that
in the Carolinas.
Tennessee has more favorable
labor laws for the workers and la
Dor is better organized. The Rayon
and Bemberg silk plants here are
financed by German capital, and
we're set up for the purpose of
avoiding the tariff on their prod
ucts.
The Bemberg plant is the only
one in this country manufacturing
the artificial silk product which is
so difficult to distinguish from the
real silk

A
NEW YEAR
THOUGHT

Let me but live from year to year,
With forward face and un~reluctant soul.
Not fastening TO, nor turning from the
goal;
Not mourning for the things that disap-
pear
In the dim past, not holding back in fear
From what the future wells; but with a
whole
And happy heart, that pays its toll
To youth and age, and travels on with
cheer.
So let the way wind up the hill or down,
Tho rough or smooth, the journey will
be JOY;
Still seeking what l sought when but
a boy,
New friendship, high adventure, and a
crown,
I shall grow old, but never lose life's
zest,
Because the roads last turn will be the
best.
