THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1930 1. BAND PLAYS AS POLICE STAGE London (IP) Heigh ho tor the wide open places! There are a tew of them even In the heart of Lon don, notorious for the observance of closing hours. Tempted by the prof it to be made In a short and sweet span of illegal existence, socalled clubs are opened in ereat secrecy . and then run with the front door wide open until the gentlemen from the Vine Street, or Bow Street, po lice station awive. There is no doubt whatever about the gentlemen from one of the above stations arriving. The pro prietors of the clubs wonder wheth er it will oe tonigro or tomorrow night and hope that they can have at least a few weeks of soiling well watered stimulants at one shilling each. There is ouly one essential difference so far as the customers are concerned. The gentlemen from Bow Street come in a wagon and ' take the "members and guests pres ent" for a ride to the station. The gentlemen from Vine Street take only names and addresses. A typically Londonish spirit of "sorry you've "been troubled' per vades the entire proceedings of t sudden swoop by the police into premises not conducted in accord with the stipulations or His Maj esty's government. There is n smashing of bottles on the floor, no willful destruction of the spirit of the gathering. Ten or twelve de tectlves v.ilk In while the band plays "Happy Days Are Here Again." The gentlemen from Vine street resemble detectives in that some 01 them wear bowler hats, but other wise they might be taken for or dinary Londoners who heard the music and just dropped in to while away a few hours. One or two of the Vine street visitors remain on the outer door to keep anybody from geting into trouble bv accidentally dropping in while a raid is in progress and also to see that those who have already dropped in don't accidentally drop out The leader of the raiders steps behind the bar and asks for the proprietor or proprletoress, as the case may be. Meanwhile tne remaining detectives start a sys tematic checking of the customers. The band keeps on playing. "I am a police officer," says de tective to customer, "May I have your name and address, please? "Certainly ,slr," responds the cus tomer, "idolph Smith, 27 Glou-cester-Terrace-on-the-Hill, Toot ing Broadway, 8. W. 14." "Smith is spelled in the usual way?" "In the usual way." The detective passes to the next customer, a large woman whose bulk alone would prevent her from escaping any drag net. "I am here on business," says the voman. "Not two minutes ago I packed me dresses and put me cases away, I did. Yes." - "Noma and address, please," re peats the officer. "Name and address, -yes, mind you don't get it wrong, now." The complete absence of any thing like panic is one of the out standing features of the evening's entertainment. The band, a three piece organization whose pieces fit somewhat like the parts of a fam ily bathing suit, stops playing only at the request of an officer.

The cause of their Indignation was a circular quoting seven busi nessmen and citizens individually, and a group of eight bankers and bank directors collectively, in op position to the municipal ownership yian as emoracea in uie cnarter amendment upon which the people wui vote. Printed on the back page of the folder, which was mailed to all of the registered voters in the city by uie water company, ur a copy of a petition directed to Uie city coun cil and signed by 134 businessmen protesting against the waste of $7, 000 for an appraisal of the water company s properties. Many of those who signed the pe tition to the council are strong ad vocates of municipal ownership and are supporting the charter amend ment which goes the whole way in providing a means whereby the city may take over the water system, and were only opposed to the fu tility of the council's plan to drag the matter out by seeking an ap praisal of the properties without providing the money with which to consumate the purchase, or even determining actual public senti ment on the question of purchase. "As explained to ns by the man ager and attorney for the water company that petition was a pro test only against the $7,000 ap praisal bond scheme then before the council and had nothing to do with the charter amendment which has since been submitted to the voters by charter amendment," said one merchant whose name was at-1 tached to the petition. "The use of my name as being opposed to this charter amendment is wholly unauthorized and several others who signed the original pe titlon have told me the same thing." NOTICE OF SALE RECALLS INDIAN BATTLE STORY OranU Pass, Ore, ( It was only a legal notice such as the United States government posts when it is necessary to sell govern ment property. It occupied only an ordinary posi tion on the bulletin board In the Grants Pass postoffioe. , But its presence revived the mem ories of a tragedy and murder that snuffed out the life of one of the moot famous Indian chiefs ever II 11 VV"N In Effect jKC MAYE2 r,: JSEPT.30 ' I'rafr MM nmnjT I ' T .WT M S Pul...77.M .

The bulletin aald the government would sell on a certain date a cer tain piece of property, but to old timers those grinded Teterans of sour dough days it revealed that the old stamping grounds of Chief Jump Off Joe was about to revert to the whites, after technically be ing held In the name of the Indian since 1855. Chief Jump Off Joe, according to the stories which have been hand ed down from the days when the call of gold was rampant, was a character among the Indians and whites. On many occasions the unusual physical powers and the native cunning of the chief made him victor In deadly combat It was on the small plot of land, lying 17 miles from Grants Pass, that the chief met a man, who if not his master, was his equal. It was in the gathering (loom of murky November night that Chief Jump Off Joe and an Indian buck named Pico met in verbal clash. For an hour. It Is said, the men tramped through the woods until they arrived at piece of land again about to be bought by white gold. Here the battle of death started. Stripped of their scant presence of a group of friends bat garments the two Indians, In the tied. Nothing but brute force was used. Nothing but the craftiness of the clan was applied. Midnight came and the men battled on, gory, heaving men, but still fighting with a fleros determination. rYiends from, the cam pi ire sought to Inter vene but to no avail. It was a bat tle to death with no quarter. When the grey dawn crept into the narrow walls of the canyon now known as Jump Off Joe creek sll was quiet. The fight evas over. Death had won. Jump Off Joe and Pico were both dead. From that day to this so far as has been known, no Indian ever spent a night on the plot of land. It bad previously been set aside by the government for Chief Jump Off Joe because of his repeated acts of friendship for the whites, . The Indians claim that on every murky night when the moon Is sn the last quarter ths death struggle of Jump Off Jos and Ptoo can be heard from the fir wrapped 'tills adjoining the creek. It is because of this strange superstition that none of the relatives of the dead chief ever claimed the land. Genoa ffl Contracts have been let for two new Italian liners.
