In Iiih letter Jones said that ho

tion was not accepted.
Ho severely arraigned Halliuger,
whom ho charges with biiiB and fals
ity, and whom, he alleges, has
"greatly injured the Kcpuhlican
parly by not resigning hiiuself."
His letter in part follews:
"I became a special agent of tho
general land office in August, 11)03,
and served continuously from that
date until May 31, 11)10.
"In June, 11)07, I was sent to
Alaska to investigate certain coal
entries. I made a preliminary in
vestigation by instruction of It. A.
Halliuger, present sccrotary of the
interior, and roported that all the
claims should be examined carefully,
iih it was evident that they were not
being taken according to the letter or

"HocnuBo rf)f my connection with

mittee remains to this day uuini
peached. "Hocaiiso I resented certain false
attacks inado on my ability as a spe
cial agent by . A. Halliuger, I was
told by II. II. Schwartz that I was
to bo fired, and Halliuger himself
intimated that this would bo tho final
outcome of my testimony.
"In order to forestall them, I sent
in my resignation, to take effect
May 31, 11)10. June 21, 1010, I ro-
coiod u letter from the interior do-

UNIFORMS
FOR POLICE
ARE WANTED
Public Sentiment Stronuly in Favor
of Having Medford's Police Force
Uniformed, as Suggested Is Easy
to Do and Public Realizes Its Ad
vantancs Step in Right Direction.
The suggestion inado that tho
members ot Medford's police force
bo uniformed in order that they
might serve a more useful purpose in
the city, has met with instantaneous
approval on tho part of tho citizens
of Medford. Stops aro already be
ing taken by tho city officials to give
the force moie of a metropolitan ap
pearance. During tho past few weeks addi
tional policemen havo been put on,
bettering the protection of tho city,
and now tho fore a will bo made more
presentable.
"I beliovo tho polico force should
bo uniformed," snyB Mayor Canon.
"It would help nppoaranccs, give
strangers a bettor opportunity to se
cure information, or at least locate
tho plnco whero the information
could bo scoured and would bo bet
ter nil around. It is dimply a ques
tion of who is going to pay for (ho
clothes."
Chief Shearer thought the matter
was "all right in n way." "Hut I do
not favor it," he said. "Howover, if
tho council orders tho police force
to assume uniforms, wo will do it."
"I was just about to order a suit
of clothes when 1 henrd about tho
uniform idea," said Policeman Kiu
eaid, "and I postponed tho order un
til tho matter is settled. Wo must
buy clothes, and if the uniform ;s
necessary, it might as well be that
as something else."
