Of Oregon
Most Senators get into the news for what they say. Retiring Senator Robert Nelson Stanfield of Oregon is news for what he does. In September, 1925, he was arrested on charges of throwing crockery drunkenly around a restaurant. The case against him was dropped, but the incident contributed to his defeat in the Senatorial elections last year. Then in July, 1926, he fought a menacing undertow for 15 minutes at Ocean City, Md., rescued a drowning woman. Last week he was greeted with a law suit; two Manhattan modistes demanded that he pay them $1,121 for his daughter's trousseau/---a bill which has been due for more than a year. Mrs. Stanfield announced that the account would soon be paid.
But why has Mr. Stanfield, once a millionaire sheep rancher, neglected a bill of a mere thousand dollars? Perhaps one reason is "The Boar's Nest," famed Washington gambling institution closed a year ago, where Mr. Stanfield's poker is said to have cost him some $250,000. In spite of such unfavorable publicity, he leaves Congress with many friends, who admire him as a gentleman of impulses.
