as the greatest ariator in the
world, and as true and fine an
American as ever came across the

I.ffoi-( to Balk Removal of Court
House to Medford lioses in
Supreme Court
Thp mandamus proceedings filed
hy W. w. Cameron in his attack
upon failure of a county clerk to
accept referendum petitions were
dismissed yesterday by the Ore
gon supreme court. This action
was an attempt to force Delilia
Stevens, Jackson county clerk, to
accept a petition aimed at the last
legislative enactment authorizing
removal of the Jackson county
courthouse from Jacksonville to
Mod ford.
The county clerk refused to ac
r pt and file the referendum pe
titions for the reason that the law
under attack carried the emerg
ency clause and was in. effect im-
mediately upon Us passage by the
legislature and being signed by
t'ie governor. .
The plaintiff contended that the
Ii'Rislat ure exceeded Its . authority
in attaching the emergency clause
to the courthouse .law for the
reason that alt local and special
measures are subject to referen
dum attack under the provisions
of the constitution. ... .
"It would seeni," reads the su
preme court opinion, "that unless
expressly prohibited by some con
stitutional provision, the legisla
ture has as much power to pre
scribe when an act shall take ef
fect as it has to enact the law it
self.' and that in order to make, it
take effect at once. It has the
power to declare an emergency.
When so declared the act is not
subject to referendum attack.
"The necessity for this Dower

Flier and Plane
WASHINGTON, May 24. (AP)
Navy destroyers were placed today
at the disposal of Captain Charles
Lindbergh. New York to Paris
flier, for hia return home and the
transportation to this country of
his plane "The Spirit of St.
Louis."
This offer was flashed across
the sea after a call at the White
House by Assistant Secretary Rob
inson of the navy, as the presi
dent and all Washington contin
ued to admire and make plans tor
honoring the youthful aviator.
Making known that destroyers
of the 25th division now in Eu
ropean waters were available to
Captain Lindbergh President Cool
idge reflected today that the ac
complishment of America's avia
tor was something which grew on
one the more it was contemplat
ed. The more that is learned of
his feat, he considers, the greater
It seems to hare been.
Commander W. W. Galbraith, in
charge of the destroyer division,
was directed by the navy to in
form Lindbergh that he could re
turn to his homeland aboard a de
stroyer and that his plane would
be brought back the same way.
The division is sailing for Ameri
ca June 15.
Meanwhile other means of
showing its admiration were un
der consideration by the admin
istration and city of Washington.
The hope has been expressed that
a form of material decoration can
be given Lindbergh by the govern
ment and Washington which has
welcomed the heroes of many
lands and wars in the past, is pre
paring to give him one of its best
receptions that the several organ
izations are planning to bestow
medals on Lindbergh when he
reaches the capital. In addition,
the Distinguished Flying Cross
and the Congressional Medal of
Honor will be sought for him.

Advantage to Exceptional aa Well
as Average Pupils Shown by
Miller
With the view of segregating
pupils in the city schools to give
greater opportunities for advance
ment to average pupils, and those
below and above average, E. A.
Miller, principal of the Grant
school, and director of research
and guidance, has made a study of
boys and girls in the fourth, fifth
and sixth grades, it was revealed
at the school board meeting last
night.
His . investigation shows that
there are a number of students In
the fifth grade with an intelli
gence quotient of 115 or better.
The plan proposed by Principal
Miller is to place these pupils In
a special class at the Te-opened
Washington school where they
would be given an especial oppor
tunity to progress. There are not
enough of these "accelerated' pu
pils in any one school to warrant
special classes, but if they could
be brought together at some cen
tral point, it would be a great ben
efit to their development.
"Smart" children drift into''slov

retarded by the remainder of the
group, it was pointed out. The
desirable thing is to keep the pu
pils up to their maximum. This

MEDFORD, Ore., May 24.
(AP) Monday. June 6. has been
set as the tentative date for the
retrial of Hugh DeAutremont, 23,
alleged Siskiyou tunnel bandit
slayer. The first trial ended in a
mistrial, owing to the death of

of Charles O. Johnson, a trainman:
Three other men were killed in the
holdup in southern Oregon in
October 1923.
The state today filed a motion
with the court asking an early
hearing of the case, as two vital
witnesses were said to be making
plans to visit foreign countries.
Since their testimony is regarded

FIVE CONVICTED
IN KERRICK CASE
JURY RETURNS VERDICT IN
MANSLAUGHTER AFFAIR
Widow and Others of Drinking
Party Will be Sentenced
Next Friday
LOS ANGELES, May 24. (AP)
Mrs. Sarah Kerrick and four
others were found guilty of man
slaughter here late today for the
killing of Tom Kerrick, motion
picture actor, at a drinking party
in Hollywood early In April.
Thosa convicted besides the
widow of the slain cowboy actor,
were Anita Davis", Iris Burns and
Henry Isabell, small-parts players
in motion pictures and Joe Hunt,
Arizona cowboy, all of whom were
members of the "moonshine"
party which the police character
i?ed as one o the wildest ever to
come to their attention.
Mrs. Kerrick, whose testimony
in her own defense was marked
by hysterical fits of weeping and
sobbing, evinced little emotion
when the verdict was announced.
Sentence will be pronounced
next Friday. The penalty for man
slaughter is from one to ten years
imprisonment.
The trial of the quintet, each
member of which attempted to
throw the blame for the shooting
on another, was unusual in that
defense attorneys, through Cross
examination, conducted almost
wholly the prosecution's case.
When the time came for sum
ming up by the state, no attempt
was made by prosecutors to fix
the blame on any one, but asked
that all five be convicted.
Kerrick was shot to death early
on the morning of April 9 in his
Hollywood flat. Widely varying
stories of how and who fired the
shot were told by the defendants.
