he entered the Jail corridor to lock
the cells for the night.

second tier of cells extends over and
to one side of the Jail door. Ander

floor, and when Jailer Moses entered
dealt him a heavy blow on the side
of the head. He then Jumped down

by the hubbub, arrived and pleaded
with the infurited prisoner to cease
his attacks. '
Other Prisoners Stay.
Many prisoners, including several
awaiting sentence on felony charges,
were in the Jail, but none attempted
to escape with Anderson.
Sheriff Terrill, who was In Medford

ried - to Jacksonville, organized a
posse, and went in pursuit.
Police north and south were ad
vised to watch out for Anderson.
Moses was brought to a hospital in
this city. ,
Forgery Is Confessed. V
Anderson was captured last Satur
day by John B. Goodrioh, Roseburg
merchant, after he had attempted to
pass a forged check. That same
night he attempted to get out of the
city Jail by picking the lock with a
fork. He also tore the straps off his

NEW TORE, Nov.-13. The name of
ReDresentativa Gallivan of Massa
chusetts was brought into testimony
offered here today in the Walsh com
mittee Inquiry into the affairs of the
United States shipping board.
. Robert E. Kline, special representa
tive of the boards' supply and sales
department, was testifying as to
methods used in disposal of surplus
material. He described an efforj-by
his department to procure what he
said was an advantageous contract
for disposal of scrap-.material. A bid
for its sale on a "six' months' supply
basis" at a rate of 60 . cents a ton
over the market price was accepted,
rejected, accepted again and once
more held up because an official in
Washington discovered he had acted 1
without authority, he said.
In the interim another form of bid
had been offered. The second bidder
alleged he had been discriminated
against and, according to the witness,
the board secured from Mr. -Gallivan
a telegram complaining that this bid
der, one of his constituents, had not
been treated fairly. This first tele
gram, the witness added, was soon
followed by another which he termed
"sharp." demanding an investigation
and threatening to take the matter
to the floor of congress.
Insistence Brings Haste.
- The insistence of Mr. Gallivan, the
witness said, no doubt caused vt'he
home office of the board to give the
controversy ver the "scrap" con
tracts quicker consideration. At any
rate, he said, he forwarded to tne
iboard a complete file . of the casa.
(The delay in determining .the suc
icesaul . bidder, however, cost the
igwvernment money, he declared, for
at that time last June and July--
the market for scrap material was
much higher than.it now is.
From shipyard materials and con
tests over contracts for "scrap" the
hearing, in its closing hours, drifted
back to operations.
Captain James A. MacGregor ot
Baltimore, now general manager for
the South Atlantic Maritime corpora
tion, but formerly district agent for
the shipping board at Savannah and
Wilmington, was called.
Le related Instances of delays to
shipping board vessels, alleged inter
locking operating organizations, de-1
lays in repairs to ships and congested
harbors, which he said cost the
shipping board money. - He admitted.
however, that incidents similar to
those he described had occurred with
private companies, but not to such
an extent as they did with the
government -operations.
Rostn Shipment Told.
He told of a shipment of rosin from
Savannah to Havana which could not
be unloaded at the latter port be
cause ot congestion. Its consignee
raised a vigorous complaint and he
was paid for the rosin by the steam
ship company which carried it with
check on shipping board funds.
The rosin went with, the ship from
Havana to Buenos Aires, thence back
to New York, thence to Baltimore and
back to Savannah, where it was sold
at a loss. The shipping board w
reimbursed, but the-point of the wit
ness was that its funds were used
without proper authority.
decreased materially during the last
few months. Mr. Gram said it was his
opinion that this was not the most
important factor in closing down the
plants. The -high freight rates, he
said, affected the Inland mills to the
extent that they could not compete
with plants having water transporta
tion and were compelled to accept the
alternative of discharging their forces
pending more favorable conditions.
Although deploring any action that
may be taken by employers to the end
of disturbing Industrial - conditions,
Mr. Gram is of the opinion that many
more men will be out of employment
after the first of next year. This con
dition, he believes, will have a ten
dency to reduce wages in case the
oost of commodities is decreased pro;
portionately. - ,

Closing Down of War Industries
and Lumjper Mills Held Be
- sponsible for reemployment.'
SALEM, Or., Nov. 13. (Special.)
There are approximately 7000 men' In
Portland out of employment at the
present time and a proportionate
number in other sections of the state
according to C. H. Gram, state labor
commissioner, who is close in touch
with the industrial and agricultural
conditions in Oregon.
This Information wis revealed by
Mr. Gram following the receipt of
telegram from the national industrial
conference board asking for a state
ment of labor and industrial condi
tions in Oregon. The falling off in
the demand for labor, according to
Mr. Gram, is due to the closing down
of many industries directly or indi
rectly connected with supplying the
government with war materials, and
the inability of the lumber mills to
operate at a profit.
While the demand for lumber has

Painless Methods
-. ' Are
.What I Am Striving
For
Our system of painless dentistry has been brought to such a point
of perfection at this office that we are now able to guarantee to
perform all kinds of dental work without needlessly hurting the pa-;
tient. This is a matter of importance to you, for possibly you are
among the many who have put off having the necessary dental work
done on account of being afraid of being hurt. If you are, then we
tell you that "you need delay no longer" on this account. .
MODEST PRICES
Quantity regulates price. This is a fundamental axiom of business
that cannot be denied. Therefore, the fact that we do a very large
volume of business permits us to take a smaller profit on the indi
vidual patient than an office which does only one-third to one-half"
of' khe volume that we do can possibly afford to take. So when you
comoare our prices with others you will find that ours are the.
lowest, especially considering the fact that we turn out nothing but-
the very highest grade of work.
BEST OF MATERIALS
The best is the only kind of material that we can afford to use. We
found this out long ago. v
OUR 15-YEAR GUARANTEE
is a binding agreement on our part that if, for any reason what
ever, work done at this office does not give you entire satisfaction, -come
back to us and we will make it right. (
SANITATION ;
This is a hobby with us. In fitting up our offices we put in all the'
best appliances for sterilizing instruments. ;;
An examination and complete estimate are yours for the asking, and
acceptance of the invitation places you under no further obligation.
