John Adkins had a very narrow
from death Sunday afternoon
when the southbound local collided
with a motorcycle he was riding on
the Jackson street crossing. Adkins
was carried on the cowcatcher of the
engine into the depot, the niotoroyle
being toed into the ditch, completely
wrecked. He suffered two broken
Ig-, n severely injured knee cap and
a slight gash on the head. He is in
fair eoiulitiou today and whilu there
is ,-tiitl to he no danger of his death
he will probably never regain full use
of his legs.
Adkins was traveling west on Jack
son street when lie approached the
crossing. He was accompanied by
Charles Vcrbee on another motorcycle
who was slightly iu advance of him.
Verbee made the crossing safely but
the train picked up Adkins. Veibee
glanced back when tho train thun
dered by and saw that Adkins hud
disappeared. He saw the demolished
motorcycle and rushed for aid.
There still being no sign of Adkins
he rushed to the depot ami pointed out
Adkins lying on the cowcatcher. The
ciigiuemen knew nothing of tile acci
dent uulil the injured man was found.
Medical assistance was at once
summoned nml the man eared for.
His leg was set and wounds dressed.
He will recover but his right leg may
he stiff for all time as the knee was
badly injured,
Adkins was fortunnto in escaping
with his life. Had the motor struck
him instead of the local train he
could not have lodged on tho cow
catcher but would havo been cut to
bits.
The authorities aro today consid
ering asking tho Southern Pacific
company for the installation of a sys
tem of alarm bells at tho various
crossings in tho city. The Jackson
street crossing is very dangerous as
the approach from the west is blind.

CONVENTON
CHICAGO, June 10. With every
indication that the winner will con
trol the Keptibliean national conven
tion by les titan half a dozen votes
both Taft and Hoosevelt leaders are
iu secret conferences here today. Iti
mors of desertions from the Roosevelt
and Taft camps are vigorously de
nied by leadrs of both. It is blievod
that last-minute coups by both are
in course ol preparation ami the
greatest doubt still is felt by tin
prejudiced observers as to where tho
victory will rest.
Senator Dixon still denies that Col
onel Hoosevelt is coining to Chicago
in person. State Senator Flinn of
Pittsburg was in telephonic communi
cation with his leader for more than
an hour today. He would not dis
cuss the subject of their talk. Coit

also declined to make any statement

LONDON, Juno 10. A national
sttiko of transport workers and al
lied trades of Knglund, to become
offoctlvo tomorrow, was declared
this afternoon by union leatlors
when they failed to reach nn ngroo
niont with tho employers following
a two day's conference.
William Carroll Hyrne, vho was in
jured by tho explosio't iu the Jack
sonville nuarry Thursday morning,
lied at the Snored Heart hospital
Sunday, making tho total deaths us
tho result of thu accident six. Hyrne
was supposed to bo the least hurt of
the four injured conveyed to Hie hos
pital, but internal injuries caused his
death after lingering three days.
John Sutton uloue remains alive at
tho hospital alive of tho four who
were carried there immediately after
the accident. He is badly injured
nud may succumb to his injuries 'is
tho shock was sovcre and ho is an old
man.
No additional impicst will bo held
Over the remains of Jlyrue. Ho was
a mini about '.Y2 years old. Ills home
was on the Appleato.
More than one half of the money
derived from the four mill tax levy
for road and bridge purjmseH by tho
county of Jackson has been 'collected
ami turned over tho county treasurer,
Instead of being placed in a road and
bridge fund as specified by the state
law it lias been placed iu the gen
eral county fund and hns been paid
out for the redemption of county
warrants. To be exact t $-18,075.84
out of approximately $70,000 which
should be placed in a bridge and road
fund has been collected and nearly all
of it expended.
Xo Itonil Fund Ever Kept.
More than this, the pounty has
never kept a road fund. Present"
county officials state that they never
saw a "road" warrant, the so-called
"road" warrants being paid out of
the county general fund. The only
record on the county books, seSfblieil
back as far as 1901, show the only
"road" fund was kept in 1003 when
between $2,000 and $3,000 was re
ceived from tho sale of state lands,
the law stating that this money must
bo expended for rond purposes only.
Section 0320 of tho general lnws
of the state of Oregon prevides: "The
county court .... of eaeh
county in the state may levy a tax
not to exceed 10 mills , . which
shall be set apart as a general road
fund, to be used in building und im
proving the public or county roads or
bridges. . . Said tax shall bo paid
iu mouev and collected in the same
manner as other county taxes aro col
lected and when so collected shall be
used for road purposes only. , . .
and 50 per cent thereof shall be ap
portioned to the several road dis
tricts . . and the remaining fiO
per cent shall be applied to roads- in
such locality as the court may di
deet." This law was passed in 1003.
Over Half Collected.
Ill accordance with this law the
county court in January in making its
tax levy, levied a four mill tax. This
provided approximately $12,000 for
road and bridge purposes during
1012. Of this amount there has been
collected by the sheriff and turned
over to the county treasurer $9(1,
lfil.b'S. One half of this amount has
gone to the road supervisors, or will
go, us is provided by tho act. The
other half has been placed iu the
county general fund nud itnt in a gen
eral road fund ns provided by law.
Imiuiry shows that the county has
never had a road fund. Warrants for
road work have all beon drawn on
the county general fund and the road
money placed iu the county general
fund and not in tho county general
road fund as has been done this year.
Only Fund Not Kept,
The minutes of the commissioners'
court show but one detailed order
making a tax levy. That is tho order
for this year and iu it it is specified
that the money derived from the gen
eral road levy shall bo placed in tho
"onernl county fund, iu direct conflict
witli tho state law.
The road fund appears to bo tho
only fund for which u spociul tax levy
has been made which has not been
placed apart as a special and distinct
fund. Thu money derived frnrn the.
school levy has been placed in a dis
tinct fund. Tho money derived from
a direct tax for the Ashland unnory,
the county fair and for other pur
poses hns been kopt In distinct fund,
but tho rond fund has uovor been
created.
