TONCHEG OPEN CANPAIGH TODAY . 8,000 Expected to Pay Fee to Hear Him Talk on “Who’s Crazy?” By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, July 13.—Representative Marion A. (Zipper) Zioncheck, Wash- ington’s escapading Cengressman, pre- * pared quietly today to deliver a speech on “Who's Crazy” tonight as the opening shot of his re-election cam- paign. Zioncheck recently took sudden leave—over the fence—of an institu- tion near Washington, D. C., to end - & serles of exploits which included arrests for speeding and allegations by his landlady that he ejected her from the apartment she rented him and his bride. Since his return here he has shown no hurry to fille—as Democratic and Republicans eagerly have piled up their announcements of opposition. “There won't be any prepared ad- dress,” Zioncheck said. “I've prom- ised to appear and I'll do so. “I'll answer any reasonable ques- tions the audience asks, also.” The fence-jumping Representative will compete with a big open-air Shrine operetta for the ears of Seattleites. The operetta, staged in connection with the national convention of the Shriners, will be free. The “people’s | forum,” at which the Representative Is to appear, charges an admission | of the forum, was a little uncertain as to how large a crowd to expect. “The admission fee may keep some | people away,” he said. “If it wasn't for that we'd expect a full house— 8,000.” The filings for office opened Fri- day. In the rush at the Secretary of State’s office at Olympia, State capital, Zioncheck was missing both that day and Saturday. He will have until August 8 to make such an entry. One of his potential opponents, Chester J. Chester, Republican, slept on the marble floor in the State Cap- itol all Thursday night, to be on hand when the filings opened. The two others who filed are: Knut J. Knutson and Chris Wilkins, both Seattle Democrats. BOAT CRASH HURTS MAN, DUCKS WOMAN | Concussion | Alexandrian Suffers as S. S. Potomac and 40-foot Yacht Collide. An Alexandrian was seriously hurt and a young woman hurled into the river when the S. S. Potomac, moon- light excursion steamer, and a 40-foot yacht collided off Fort Washington fast night. Thomas Monroe, 24, received a con- cussion of the brain and possible in- ternal injuries when the entire cabin of the yacht was torn away in the crash. At Emergency Hospital his condition this morning was described | &s “just fair.” Miss Leona Chisolm, 32, also of Alexandria, was thrown into the water from the stern of the yacht, but man- aged to swim back to the craft un- harmed. “I was tossed almost under the prow of the Potomac,” she said. “The back- Wash from the steamer swept me back to safety and I called to the people on the back of the boat to throw me & life preserver, but I guess they did not hear. Two boys from our boat dived in after me and the steamer Yowered a boat, but I was able to swim to the yacht without aid.” Miss Chisolm said the two boats *saw each other and blew signals for the Potomac to pass on the port side of the yacht” She said she realized the steamer was coming close, but was surprised when the collision occurred. Six others on the small craft escaped dnjury. J. R. Harding, 30, of Alexan- dria, is the owner of the cruiser, which ‘was able to make its way back to thas city under its own power. Officials of the Potomac River Line, - which operates the steamer, said they threw the engines into reverse when the yacht suddenly changed its course. ‘They claimed the cruiser “drifted into the side of the boat.” Monroe was brought to Washington by the Potomac. —_— | “Prisoners’ Religion Tested.

LOS ANGELES, July 13.—Death Valley Scotty is heading back for the desert with the finest string of mules he ever had. “The 15 mules cost me, together with the feed and packs, about $4,500,” said the desert rat philosopher and man of mysterious gold. “I bet there ain't another mule in the world like my new pal, Barnum. All my life I hunted for one like him. He's big, 1,250 pounds, 15.2 hands. He'll make a great saddle mule for me. “Some folks spend as much for an automobile, but I bet they never get transportation as good as this string. It ought to last me the rest of my life. “I'm completing the round-up and sending them back by truck. “I've sent 50 tons of hay in. The truckin® cost about $35 a ton. And I sent in about 55 tons of grain. “It'Il take about three weeks to whip the mules into shape, and then T'll be headin’ up in the Rocks. You know I've got $700,000 in gold in the Rocks, and a little mill of my own at the castle.” Scotty’s castle is in Grapevine Can- yon, the northern end of Death Valley. He started bullding it in 1922, and so far has spent $2,300,000 on it. Paris-Stockholm Airline. Nine-hour air service between Paris and Stockholm, Sweden, has been es- tablished. —Wide World Photo.
