Loose, for Hurt Did Not Hurt Him
Much"."
J. A. Lemery, nu Ashlnud attorney,
whs in Medford Thursday afternoon
nnd tiled a complaint against Joe
Hurt, a justice of the peace in Ash
land, charging him with wrongful nnd
unlawful assault iiKin the person of
the above mentioned J. A. Letuerv.
The case was to have been heard
in Judge Glenn O. Taylor's court in
this city Friday at 10 o'clock, but
the complaining witness did not ap
loar, he having telephoned Judge
Taylor Thursday night that he was
unable to appear and asked that the
case be continued which would have
been done had not District Attorney
Mulkey moved that the case he dis
missed, ami it wns so ordered by the
court.
There have been hard footings be
tween the justice and attorney for
somo time over trivial matters which
have come up iu justice court cases in
that city from time to time in which
Lemery has apHarcd as attorney.
The assault, jf oho was made, is
thought to have been provoked by
Lemery. Lemery bore no marks of

Samuel Untermeycr, Famous for
Years as a Wall Street Attorney,
Urges House Rules Committee to
Favor Llndhurg's Resolution.
SAYS A FEW MEN ARE
IN CONTROL OF FINANCES
"We Will Never Legislate Intelligently
Until We Thoroughly Under
stand This Question."
WABIUNclTON, Jan. 215.- Samuol
Untermyer, famous for years as a
Wall street attorney, today urgd tho
house rules committee to favorably
consider Representative Llndburg'a
resolution asking Investigation ot the
'money trust." .Ho seld:
Because I am satisfied, that we'll
never legislate Intelligently regarding
the trusts and tho monetary system
until we thoroughly understand this
Question underlying all others, I am
an earnest advocate ot this Investi
gation. "Behind the money oligarchy la a
system vicious and dangerous beyond
conception but still within tho law.
As a result of the recent consolida
tion of Industrial and railroad cor
porations, the control of their financ
es has drifted Into tho hands of a
few groups of New York men. They
dominate great banks and trust com
panies ot New York and Influence
the use of vast deposits for enter
prises In which they are Interested
or approve. . Mt
Money Concentrated.
"In the past five years there has
been a greater concentration ot mon
ey power thau in the preceding fifty
years. This power has been cemented
through tho interlocking of tho di
rectorates In the financial institu
tions which would naturally be com
petitive. "Independent railroad construction
has ended. Competition against the
trusts and Industrial Interests s Im
possible. Their ramifications are so
endless that credit Is irapossib'o for
now enterprises conflicting with,
their plans. And there lies tho
trusts' greatest danger.
"Tho same power dominates tho
New York stock exchango and tho
clearing association, both of which
are beyond Judicial and executive
control.
"With tho different states engaged
in nn Indecent strugglo for patronage
of the corporations and bidding ono
against tho other In laxity ot admin
istration, it is hopoless to expect the
restraints necessary for tho protec
tion of security holders or tho pub
lic."
Untormyor declared that tho Aid-
rich monetary schema would not rem
edy the financial conditions ot tho
country.
