No one was injured. London, July 24. Not even the most petted and pampered prima donna has ever had so great a com pliment paid her voice as the com pliment which Dr. Casey Wood, of California, has just paid to the com mon British nightingale. The doctor has just completed a 6,000 m'ile quest in order that he might hear the British nightingale 4n full song. The quest must have cost thou sands of dollars. It has meant much discomfort, traveling night and day by sea, air and road, but at the end, risking pneumonia by kneeling on the damp dewy grass, he has tui filled his long-postponed wish. Far away in the fastness of a Surrey woodland the dostor heard the metallic "tweet-tweet" of the nightingale. He must have been dis appointed, for the nightingale has a rather harsh note at times ana orten drives ditracted Inhabitants of the lonely country houses here to shy shoes at the disturber of the night rather than listen reverently to it on bended knee, as did Dr. Wood. It is now dangerous to whisper the word nightingale in the ear of Dr Oasey Wood. It is true he came all the way to hear the songster, but he bitterly regrets ever spilling to the reporters the cause of 'his long journey. Since that date he has been beseiged by well-meaning helpers who wanted to traok their own particular nightingales for his bene fit. Bird lovers from all corners of the continent have been postering him. They even inquired at the Em bassy for him, and at was ail too overpowering for him, so he had to move about incognito. To the International News the doctor gave his impressions of the nightingale. , "The result was highly success ful." he aaid. "Toward noon of a bright sunshiny day the first night 'ingale was encountered. His -deep sweet song was distinctly heard at intervals fro over an hour. This demonstrated the falsity of the current belief that the bird only sings at night or in the gloaming. "During the tramp over the beau tiful downs in Surrey a dozen birds of the species were heard in full or partial song until hunger and the shades of night drove the explorer to rest." Denison, Tex., July 84 Mainten ance of way men on the Missouri Kansas and Texas railroad are vir tually asking, for a 33 percent in crease in wages n drestoration of the overtime rule, G. W. Pyles, genral chairman of the maintenance of way brotherhood on the road an nounced here today.

There - are about 6,000 maintenance of way men on the system. .

Harley White returned last night after spending two weeks with his family along the coast visiting sev eral of the Oregon beaches. heard in the former suit, and therefore, these growers should not be held to the previous rec ord. ' Another Important action was through stipulation between the attorneys for both sides In which It was agreed that the year of 1921 would be ruled out of the case since there could have been little damage done the plaintiff due to the fact that the market price of loganberries was not over 3 Sk cents. To establish the extent of cred it of the Phez company, A. C. Longshore of the Northwest Na tional bank of Portland, and Wil liam Waltbn, cashier of Ladd & Bush bank of Salem were called to the stand. Longshore testified that the company's credit was good to the extent of $125,000. Mr. Walton gave no figures re garding the firm's credit, but out lined the bank's policy In aiding the Phez company to help create a market for loganberries. The loan limit of the bank, Mr. Wal ton stated, was $100,000 to any concern. H. S. Gile, former head of the plaintiff company, was also called to the stand, affirming that the maximum price of loganberries during the years of 1919 and 1920 was around 14 cents, but did not remember the minimum price. The witness refused to state the exact amount the com pany had in the bank at the time of the alleged breach of contract on the part of the growers, say ing that enough money was avail able to meet all bills. - The original contracts between the growers and the Phez com pany were Introduced into the records, with the exception of the one of E. S. Paxson, whose attor ney has not arrived. Just how soon the case will be completed Is unknown due to con gestion of the court docket at the present time because of the Hall Olcott contest election suit. How ever, testimony will be heard to morrow, though there has been some effort on the part of the de fendants' attorneys to have the case postponed until September. In the hearing of the case, a decision In favor of the growers was rendered by Bingham and Kelly, but on appeal to the su preme court the case was remand ed to the lower courts, the su preme court holding that each in dividual grower and member of the Salem Fruit union should be made a party to the suit. Washington, July 24 Bird lover who are also motion ' picture voteea have a treat in store for them. Two motion pictures dealing ex clusively with birds have just been eompleted by the department of Agriculture and soon will make their appearance on the screen in 'movie" houseB throughout the coun ry. One of the Agriculture Depart ment's pictures shows the "Nation al Bird Refuges on the Gulf of Mexico." It starts with the reserva tion patrol boat, which takes the visitors from Pass Christian to the low-lying islands off the Louisiana coast. ' At the outset attention is drawn to the federal regulations adminSis- tored by the IMological Survey against distur.biing the birds or their eggs in the national refuges. Pic tures of the flocks in flight are then shown, together with nesting scenes of many of the interesting species of birds found in that local ity. These include the pelican, the willott, laughing terns, old and young Louisiana herons and royal terns. The other film, entitled "Anne's Aigrette," shows interesting pic tures of the American egrets, snowv herons and other birds on the Walker Lake Reservation in Arkansas. The picture is so arrang ed as to demonstrate the inhuman ity of the traffic dn the plumage of these birds for the purpose of. per sonal adorment. Anne shows her new hat to hor husband, who notices the plume on it and explains that it is an aigrette the nuptial plume of the egret. He tells her how these toirds have been almost exterminated through the work of plume hunters. He then describes his visit to a federal bird refuge and the egrets he saw there. The scenes shift to a great cyp ress swamp in Arkansas. After the explanation Anne decides she will not wear a plume. The pictures are both short, one reel each, and will soon be distributed. Medford, was concluding a sen tence in the Jackson county jail imposed upon him by the circuit court for having engaged In Jhe new Industry of bootlegging. When eveulng came. It is alleged. Burr was released from jail and two men passing by in an automo bile, supposedly by chance, were called by the jailer and requested to haul Burr from Jacksonville, where the jail la located, into Medford. They took Burr into their ma- ohine drove him up Into the foot ranges of the Siskiyou mountains where, some 15 or more miles from Medford they met 15 or 20 others seemingly by appointment. Here, it is stated, a noose was put about the negro's neck and he was thrice strung up to' the limb ot a tree shots were fired Into I the ground about his feet and, tin ally, he was told to beat it and not return. He did, heading across the mountains for California. A Second Instance. On March 17, J. T. Hale, a Medford man ot some property. was taken from his home, escorted some miles out of town where he. too, was strung bp by the neck for tthree or (our times by a masked band. It was demanded of him, so It is related, that he abandon certain litigation he had Instituted in the courts ot the county, that he make admissions regarding cer tain other alleged actB, and that he leave Medford forthwith, "go. as far as he could and never come back." Hale went, and that is the second chapter or the story. Some two . weeks later. Hank Johnson, a well known character of Jacksonville, was taken from that town by night, a rope was put about bis neck and be was PAGE FIVE strung up and finally told to head for parts unknown. Other things alleged to hava been done by the night riders are to be laid before the grand Jury, such, for instance, as threatening letters sent to Circuit Judge Calk ins warning him against granting a new trial to a bootlegger against whom a jury In the circuit court had returned a verdict of guilty. How long It will take to spread all of these allegations before the grand Jury Is unknown, though it Is believed that the greater part of the week will be required for their consideration. But In the meantime the people of Medford, and of Jackson county, are watt ing with tense Interest for the out come of the Investigation. ! .
