OFFICERS HAVE HARD FIGHT IN ARRESTING RIGGS Homer Rlggs, recently fined $500 in the justice court on a booze charge, was arrested early this morning by Chief of Police Wm. Vaughn and Officer Rauch. The officers were watching Rtgg's resi dence on South Pine street, ex pecting a liquor sale to be made, and when a susplcioned "customer" left the building, the officers en tered,' having previously secured a search Warrant. Rlggs heard Ranch coming up the stairs and ducked .back Into his room, where, according to the Etory told the of-1 fleers, he seized a gallon jug of moonshine and broke It In the washstand, turning on the fauet to wash away the evidence. Officer Vaugh, who had been guarding the front entrance, heard the coma- . tlon and went up stairs to find Rauch and Rlggs fighting. Vaughn soaked up the few remaing drops of moonshine with a rag and dropped tho rag into a glafs before going to Rauch's relief. Rlggs was choked1 into submission after ft hard fight and was then handcuf fed, but while the officers were continuing the search of his, he seized the liquor soaked rag and daehed out of the room with it with the officers in pursuit. He was overtaken at the foot of tho stairs and another lively fight took place which was not ended until Rlggs was rapped over the head with a billy. The officers gather- ed up what remained of -the evi dence and placed Rlggs In the city jail until the case can be tried. HEAD Bones Near Myrtle Creek Elephant of 150,000 Years Ago, Prof. Horner Says Professor John B. Horner, of the Oregon Agricultural College, in company -with W. S. Hamilton, re turned from Myrtle Creek at noon today with the elephant tooth and fragments of tusk recently found by J. M. Martin in his hydraulic mine on Lees Creek. 12 miles east of the town of Myrtle Creek. Tho specimens, which are rapidly de teriorating, will be Immediately treated at the Oregon Agricultural college museum for preservation. They will be soaked In shellac un til sufficient successive coats have been applied to Beal the speci mens from air and moisture so that they may be preserved indef initely at the museum, where they will be placed on display. Mr. Horner interviewed Royal Diekman of Myrtle Creek, In the absence of Mr. Martin, and from Mr. Dlekmau obtained au account of the discovery of the bones and information concerning the type of soil and topography. Prof. Homer expresses the belief that remains of mastodon will probably be found In the same locality and says that the remains will probab ly be unusually well pres-ved. considering their age, duo (ti the fact of the great growth of the blue clay in which they were im bedded. Along with these remains Doctor Horner predicts that specimens of strange woods which grew here in the age of the elephant and the mastadon will be found.,, Mr. Horner stated before his departure this afternoon that he will endeavor to Interest Dr. C. D. Livingston, professor of J geology at O. A. C. in the discovery and that it may be possible that scien tific excavations will be made. - Dr. Livingston has had a great deal of experience In identifying remains of prehistoric animals and might be able to discover in the speci mens at the Lees Creek claim much important information bear ing upon the early ages of this country. Prof. Horner stated that there Is no question but that the tooth found by. Mr Martin is that of an elephant, which probably roamed the southern Oregon Jugles' about 150,Q()0 years ago. 'Oregon Was once a tropical country' Inhabited Over 7000 Policemen, With Machine Guns, to Guard ; Polls; Even Troops May. Be Called. ' CHICAGO, April -2 Chicago's mayoralty campaign, which so far had largely been confined to the calling of names, entered a more serious phase today when. Sheriff Charles E. Graydon called upon Governor Small to hold himself in readiness for an appeal for troops. The sheriff,.., a partisan 'of Wil liam Hale Thompson, Republican, candidate, charged that friends of Mayor Dever had been trying to Incite a race riot here to aid the Dever campaign. He also said he had evidence that Michael L. Igoe, minority house leador, was re sponsible' for circulation of a spur ious letter,- purporting to -have been issued- by Mr. Thompson and inviting about 10,000 negroes to meet him at a loop hotel wearing Thompson badges. Whether troops are called, Chi cago next Tuesday probably will use armed men on a scale never before known at a municipal elec tion. More than 7,000 policemen will be on duty, Chief X)t Police Morgan Collins announced.. The police program calls for 250 squads in automobiles, 35 machine guns, and a policeman in each polling place armed with a rifle or pistol. "Get trouble Sniakers. before' they get anybody else," Chief Collins told his men. "Round them up and bring them in as fast as- you ind them. This election is going to be bitterly fought, and I intend to see that it is peaceful and orderly-" ,:. The Democrats already have taken steps to obtain a special grand jury and a special state's at torney to investigate what they termed a plot by Republicans to manipulate the election, maintain ing that Crowe's political alle giance with Thompson disqualified him from conducting an inquiry. ! A number of Roseburg , people went to Drain Friday to . attend the three-day Douglas County Christian Endeavor convention be ing held there. Among those who are there are Rev. H. E. Mow, Rev. R. W. Achor, Miss Iris McAllister, Mlsa Lucille Sappington, Miss Lu cille Leo ox. Those forming a par ty to leave this afternoon-' 'were Mrs. Chan. V. Stanton, Tfoas Church, W'ilhia Howard and Klsle Hudson. r CHIGAGDTpLDDK: Oni ELECTION DAY by elephants, mastodons urn! other animals of huge size, he states. "I am not a scientist," Mr. Horn er sayf, "but a historian. Oregon history, however, goes back so far that history and science are very closely interwoven. The words of Doctor Condon that 'Oregon is a very old part of the earth' are cer tainly true, when we stop to con sider that once the equutor ran through Roseburg. At the north pole there are great coal beds and the fossils to be found show that once there were great forests of a sub-tropical nature at what is now the top of .the world. In the hundreds of thousands of centuries of the past there have been great changes on this old earth and as a result we - find fossils of flora and botanical life of a tropical na ture and within 100 yards of these specimens we find great granite boulders that remain as relics of an ice age. "Oregon was once on the equa tor, and where we now have giant pines and firs there 'were great groves of ferns' and of palms and bananas a great garden where once roamed huge mammals, such as the elephant, mastodon, rhiu noceros, hippototamus, and other huge beasts and birds that go with them. No one knew this better than Dr. ThomasJ Condon, once Oregon state geologist, also pro fessor of natural science iu the University, of. Oregon. "While Doctor- Condon was studying sea shells in the stone de posits at the junction of the East and fNorth Umpqua he said, 'Ore gon js a very old part of the earth,' and he spoke of Oregon under the sea pi' Oregon when. it. first came to be' dry land, Oregon when It was Inhabited by great reptiles, Oregon as the home of mammals or verte brate animals that nourished their young, and among these he includ ed the elephant and the mastodon. "He stated that he and Profes sor Jessup of McMinnville college had found fine fossil remains of elephants at Dayton, Oregon nnd j tne aocior, wno-was not oniy u re ntable; scientist but also a teacher of high rank, took much .pleasure in ' displaying und describing the (Continued on page 4.. ., , DE AUTREMONT'S PLEA . , DUE, THIS AFTERNOON . .. , , " ' MEPFORD, Ore., April 2.' .Hugh de Autremont, alleged Siskiyou Tunnel bandit and killer, w.11.1 he arraigned for' pleuding In, the courthouse, at Jacksonville at, 1:30', o'clock this afternoon. .'.

BOARD IS PLEASED Suggested Changes Meet Approval and Have Been Ordered Adopted Contract Given. A plan proposed by' City School Superintendent W. M. Campbell to make certain chunges in the op eration of the city schools, result ing in a reduction of $5,058 in ex penses, without the sacrifice of any department has been accepted by the school board and will be put into use for next year. The pro gram met with great favor on the part of the members or the board as it puts the schools Inside the budget for next year so that the schools may be operated, unless unforseen circumstances a r i se, within the district's income. During the past year the income has not been sufficient to meet the expenses, and the board feared that it would be necessary to ask the voters' to provide a large amount of money to carry on the work. The city superintendent, however, has devised a way where by the incomo may be made to cover the expenses and yet lose little of the efficiency of tire schools.: '. Cuts Proposed : One of the 'suggested changes outlined and approved Is the reduc tion'; of the number of classes In typing 11 and 12 in the senior high school frbm.3 and i to 2 and 1 re spectively.
