UPSETS STORY OF MURDER
Oregon Convict Had Made Affidavit
as to Jones' Death and Human
Bones Were Found Where
He Had Directed.
MEDFORD. Or., April 80. (Special.)
In May, 1903, H-nry Jones, a young
farmer livlnf? In the north end of this
county, suddenly disappeared, leaving a
young wife and Infant son. Early one
mornins that year he left for Grants
Pass with a sum of money to deposit in
the bank there. That same night he was
seen in a saloon In Grants Pass and that
was the last heard of him in- this part
of the country.
As his family relations had always been
pleasant and he left home bright and
happy, his disappearance remained a
mystery until two years later, when one
Ingram, who. was tried In. the Circuit
Court in Josephine County, convicted,
and sent to the penitentiary at Salem,
made an affidavit that Jones was mur
dered for his money and his body was
cut up and placed In a sack and dis
posed of. Several months later a sack
containing human bones, which were sup
posed to be those of Jones, was found In
the lower Rogue River.
Oral Jones, his wife, was appointed
administrator of his property. Early this
month Jones surprised his wife by wiring
from Kamloops to meet htm In British
Columbia. She did not make the trip,
and ho came to her, and the two are
now In this city.

WOULD CONTROL-STREETS
Mayor Lane Urges Adoption of New
Provisions.
Mayor Lane yesterday took a decided
stand in the matter of street grants, and
filed vylth the Council,' at its special ses
sion, a communication, recommending the
passage of substitute ordinances for two
that were passed at a previous meeting.
He asked that clauses be Inserted In
each, protecting the city In its rights, and
specifying that. In all such cases, the
streets are to be controlled by the muni
cipal authorities, and thnt the permit
may be revoked at any time.
The ordinances referred to by the Mayor
are those which were passed by the
Council one week ago, granting permis
sion to the Pacific Bridge Company to
use certain streets on which to operate
a temporary railway for Improvement
work; and to the Western Baking Com
pany to use a portion of the street near
Its plant, at Twelfth and Glisan. Mayor
Lane has expressed himself on the sub
ject several times recently, saying that
It has been proved to be a difficult prob
lem to revoke these kind of permits, once
they are granted. He also asks the Coun
cil to require a bond In each similar in
stance, making It obligatory upon the
part of the grantee to put back the streets
in as good condition as they were prior
to being cut up.
Mayor Lane's message to the Council
was filed.
MANY PERMITS IN. APRIL
Building Inspector's Office Reports
Great Activity.
Another record was made in April In
the Building Inspector's office. During
the month 576 permits were issued, carry
ing total reported valuations of $978,310.
These totals exceed those of the month
of March by 32 Items and $126,405 in
valuation. The totals for March were 644
permits and $851,845 in values.
The total for the four months of this

year, unlike the first quarter of .the
previous year, has recorded but few
items exceeding $50,000. whereas In April
of 1907 there were three permits for
buildings to cost over $100,000. and this
fact will show an apparent falling off
In comparison of values. In April, 1907,
there were but 392 permits Issued; in
last month. 576. This comparison Indi
cates the rapid growth of the city, for
the reason that a large percentage of
permits issued since the first of the year
was for dwellings and mostly for those
to cost under $5000.
