gatious hy tho dcpaitment of ngri

that the shippers and carriers aro
i!o-operntinj moio doely Ibis year
to avert a oar shortugo in tho move
ment of tho country's 030,000,000
bushels estimated wheat crop.
While it would tuko 52 1,000 ears
to movo thu entire estimated product
lion, only about 8 per oent of the
orop usually is shipped out of tho
country where it is grown. On that
basis i'l would reUtro approximately
:i0!l,0l2fl ems to carry this season's
blilpmciits.
It k tlio consensus of opinion that
tho inoreaso in car supply docs not
koop pace from year to year with in
creasing need for ears. Tho depart
ment says that witli the indications
this year for a heavy orop of corn
and oats, tho movement of those
commodities will still further eompli

order is obeyed by llio plajers every
American lotiguc bull purk will close

Mr. Kultz declined tu make the
term of the ultimatum.

It wns rcM)rtcd Hint the eouunis-
Moii hail been given until July 22 to

the event of nn unfavorable or uu-sati-factary
reply, .Mr. Kultz nid, the

"drnstic action." Mr. Kultz was un
willing lo suy what the nature of thin
action would be.
The differences between the fra
ternity and the national commie i'.'U
in the Kraft cno arise from a re
c?nt ruing by the commUsioti that
Kraft belong In llio Nashville club
of tho Southern nooiution. TJie
fraternity eliiims ho belongs to the
Newark liitcrnntionnls nnd that he
is entitled to the snlnry paid him bv
tho Kewnrk club, which is higher
than ho would receive from Nash

Kn.shvillo club. In tnkin? thi stand
ho acted on the advice of tho fra
ternity. ,

"Tho American league is ready this
issue witli n solid front," declared
Mr. Johnson. "Our club owners nre
a unit for war. It's about timo that
this fraternity nonsense should end.
We Imvo been very patient with Mr.
Kultz nnd his associates, but tliev
have gone loo far mid wo intend to

"You can say for mo that if the

ity of them obey n strike order on

WASHINGTON', July 20. -Application
of thn new militia laws to tho
National Guard has caused a heavy
pajer mortality nionjr the highly or
namental offices. The requirement
that Hie militia conform iu organiza
tion to regular unnv standards has
been met by all of tho states except
South Carolina, with the stnrtling re
sult that there have already been
dropped three major gencrrnls, thirty
brigadier generals, moro than one
hundred colonels nnd n corresponding
number of officers of less rank.
As n result of thcue changes there
has been a great improvement iu the
physical fitness of the enlisted force
of tho militia nnd progress iu tho in
struction of officers who aro now
really availing themselves of th.
kindly criticisms of the inspection
officers of tho United States unnv
were nmong iliem.
Despondent from Ill-health and
falluro to obtain work, I, L. Park,
aged 50, whn has worked In and
about tho city occaslonalry for the
past, few years, committed sulcldo
Sunday morning by hanging himself
to a trco on tho bank of Kogue river
north of Hybco bridge Tho body
was found by fishermen at 8:43
o'clock Sunday morning.
Inquest Show Suicide
Tho inquest was hold Monilar
morning. It was brought out that
Parks had applied to Chief Hlttson
for any kind ot work last week, but
was unable to find any. He walked
out to Uybce bridge, apparently to get
work on tho road, but when ho ar
rived his ftlcknes made It impossible
for him to work. Without money,
and suffering from severe rupture,
ho made an end to himself. Even
after ho let himself down on the rope
ho could havo saved his llfo by
clutching two branches of tho oak
trco that wero In easy reach. Even
tho agony of the strangulation did
not alter his Intention.
It Is thought that Parks worked
here two years ago, driving a team
for tho Clark-Henery Construction
company. He has been here at dif
ferent times since. ,
A Former Pirate
That Parks, waa rormerly a British
pirate Is the belief ot A. R. Parker,
ex-marine of the United States. Mr.
Parker bases hi belief from a taUeo
mark found on tho dead man's arm,'
which ho say Is bo British pirate's
mark according to tho training Ut
has received Iu tho American nar.
Tho mark is a heart, pierced by an
anchor and a sword. Above tho
heart Is tho iron mask and a crown.
Dclow Is tho death's head and tho
cross bones, the ancient mark of tho
pirate. Tho coat ot arms Is crudely
tattocd. and was placed on the man's
arm when ho was quite young. In
tho center of tho heart wero the Ini
tials L. P.
Parks has been around Medford for
several weeks. lie has been seen
many times on tho city park benches.
He wa small ot stature five feet
three In hctghth, wearing a mus
tache, and about 50 years of ago.
Sect Last Saturday
When last seen ho was walking
toward Dybeo bridge passed a gang
ot men working on tho road Saturday
evening. Ho told thorn ho was not
reeling very well. Ho walked o.i
down toward tho brwgo. C. H. Far
mer and Everett Acklln, who wore

body at 9:43 o'clock dangling from
