OYSTKIl HAY, duly ."). -Speaking
upon the tariff, Colonel Uoo&ovolt to
day said:
"I nut not Mire that the tariff is
partly rohponisblo for tho high cost
of living. As tar us I can see, the
greatest ineroitse.s have been in the
oosof eggs, milk and meat. Monop

"If the tariff should bo removed

Dcmoorats, the farmer would bo tho
most affected.
"If froo trade should be ostabliMiod

countries like Japan nud China and

spiracy today Is alleged to havo been
discovered among Turkish officers
at Adrlannplc. looking to tho trans
formation of European Turkoy Into
a ropuhlle. It was nseortainod that
tho Turkish officers 'hold a meeting
to establish a military dlstatorshlp

Tho wreck was tho worst In the
'history of the roadj whose boast pre
viously was no ono had been killed
on It since 1900. Tho road officials
blame ongineer Schrecdcr. Ho was
in tho cab of trnln Xo. 11, which
wns running SO miles an hour and
crashed through tho standing Buff
alo limited. The company officials
say the semaphore a anllo distant
was at danger. That tho block In
which tho limited was stalled was
also set against Xo. 1 1 and that flag
men from tho passenger train sig
nalled to stop the oncoming train
half a mllo from tho necldent. Tho
engineer says tho distant signal was
at "clear" and that he saw no flag
man. Ho Insists that tho fog was
vory dense, making It almost Impos
sible to sco trains ahead.
Police admitted today that the dy

Smith has dotallod 15 special offlcors

which was picked up from tho wreck

The story of tho wreck was ono
of steel cars formed into death trap.

like a knife through cliecso, but tho
stool pullmnn cars and tho stool day
coaches held fast. They woro bent
out of shape by the terrific forco of

their occupants woro not killed.
TEDDY ONLY CAN SAVE THE NATION
OYSTKK HAY, July 3. That the
democratic platform wns for "public
consumption" only and that it cannot
bo enforced wn- the position taken
by Colonel Uoo.sovelt today. Tho ex
prc.sident gavo tho opinion Unit Gov
ernor Wilson was a free trader and
further said:
"Either tho democrats will, if elect
ed, plungo tho country into ruin by
means of free trade or continue tho
presont tariff system and wink at
their platform and say that it was for
campaign purposes only. v
lloosoyolt expressed the opinion
also that both tho republicans and
deinoerats have taken tho wrong po
sition on tho (rust question,
"Hoth of the.se platforms call for
the rigid enforcement of the anti-trust
law and both aro wrong," hu said. "1
wits, tho first nud only president that
ever rigidly enforced tho anti-trust
law. Yet I know that trusts havo
come to stay and that the only thing
is competent legislation."
Hoosovelt denied that ho had of
fered the vice presidency of tho pro
gressive ticket to Judgo Hen Ljiulsuy
of Denver.
"Last night it was Ilenoy that thoy
had mo picking out as my running
mate," ho bind, "Today it i Undsoy,
I want to say that I havo not offered
the vice presidency to any one,"
Tho Pacific Tclephono and Tele
graph company have sold their local
plants in Medford, Jacksonville, Cen
tral Point, Gold Hill and Rogue River
to the Home Telephone company of
this city. The consideration was not
made, public.
The deal was consummated on
Wednesday afternoon nt a meeting of
the board of directors of tho Home
Telephone and Telegraph company.
The toll line or long distance scrvico
of tho Pacific company is not passed
to the Home company by this ar
rangement. In a great many places
the Pacific company has transferred
and sold its local tclephono exchange
business to tho local Home company,
particularly is this true in tho eifies
of Los Gates,, Gilroy, Reedslcy- in
California-, Lc Grande, in Oregon, anil
Kenton and Kent, in Washington.
Home Makes Illg Growth
The growth of the Home company
miicc its organization has been phe
nomenal. Without mukiiiR very much
stir about it they havo quiotly gone
abend and increased their buuinesM in
the cities of Gold Hill,. Rogue River,
Jacksonville and Hedyird. In tho,
city of Medford, prior to tho cprisum
matioii of this deal,, tho 'Home com
pnny had in operation 040 phonos us
against 1037 Bell phones, and n force
of men havo been working overtime
for the past three months instulliug
Home phones in the resident and busi
ness districts. '
It is going to take some little timo
to have the matter so completely ad
justed that Pacifio phones will
be taken out and tho Home phones
substituted in their blent. But at
this time any subscriber of the Home
company can get long distance con
nection over the Paeifio long distanco
service just as though thoy. were talk
ing from a Pacific phono. It will bo
iinH)sstble, however, for tho timo be
ing for the Home company to com;
plete the consolidation of tho two sys
tems so that the Home phone sub
scribers may telephone direct to Pa
cific subscribers. This could be douo
in probably thirty days if it were done
in a makeshift manner, but when tho
new system is installed tho Home
company recognizes that it should bo
a permanent system and one that will
reflect credit upon a oity of the sizo
of Medford, and for that reason it
may require ninety days to fully com
plete the consolidation of the two
local plants.
Vmtco to bo Manager
At a meeting of tho new director
ate A. J. Vaueo was tendered tho
position of manager of tho Home
company. Mr. Vaneo has had a wide
telephone experience and was former
ly general manager of tho Rocky
Mountain Telephone Co., with head
quartors at Salt Lake For somo
timo past ho has boon tho local man
ager of tho Pacific company. His
thorough knowledge of the details of
the old Pacific plant makes his' ser
vices invaluable to tho now company
for it is a Herculean task to dismantle
tho entire Pacific plant and to cause
its subscribers to bo connected up
with tho Home plant without soriotis
inconvenience. Tho Home compaily
recognizes that when tho chungo is
made that it is duo to all of its sub
scribers that tho change bo inado with
the least possible delay and incon
venience to tho Paeifio and Home
subscribers.
George C. Ulrieh, who for tho past
two years has been beeretury un'd
treasurer of tho Home company, re
tains a similar position and will havo
full charge of tho receipts and 'dis
bursements of tho company.
By the deal eoiifuminuted(ti6 reor
ganization whatever of tho Ijomu
company was mado, Tho corporntiu
has simply acquired from the Pacific
company all of tho local telephone ex
change rights of tiie Paeifio company
in the towns and citios uffeoted.
