The recent dethronement of Czar 'Nicholas and overthrow of autocracy in' Russia is a source of great satis faction to Dr. Joseph Goldman, for mer Jewish rabbi In Russian Poland, who will address a public meeting in the Baptist church of Medford next Monday evening, and will also deliver addresses on present and past condi tions In Russia at the Christian church in Ashland on Sunday fore noon, afternoon and evening. He has witnessed and suffered the hardships formerly inflicted upon the Jews In his country, and until four years ago had always lived In Russia, having been a rabbi for ten years. Immediately on coming to this coun try about four years ago he began the study of English and since then has lectured (to 100,000 pcopio in eight states. Every time Dr. Goldman thinks of the deposed czar and government he gnashes his teeth that Is what few teeth he has left, for fourteen of his teeth were kicked out by a Cossack during the big Klshenof massacre. "That's one reason why I am so glad that the great deBpot Nicholas was deposed," said Dr. Goldman to day. Wow Russian Poland is under TWO TRAVELING ELDERS ELECTED Slav J7 Hishon Rcllcw opene.i the second sittinir of the Southern Ore Sn conference, now being held in the Free Methodist church on the corner of Tenth and Ivy streets, with the usual devotional exercises, after which the liishop delivered a very in teresting address on the subject of war, which wns jrrcnlly appreciated by nil who were present. The litisi- n '-s of the niominir sitting consists largely of the reports of the preach ers and tlieir work. It wns decided to man the work of the conference the coming year with two traveling elders. On the first ballot Revs. D. D. Hodge nnd K. 11 Dollarhide were elected traveling eld ers, Kev. Dodge will probably serve the Jlcdford district nnd Rev: Hollar hide will probably serve the Kose bnrg district. There will be preach ing every uftcnioon and evening thi week nnd nil lire invited to attend these services. Dr. Joseph (Jnldimin. Germany's rule, and next will come Kaiser Wilholm's overthrow. He is the samo kind of a despot as Nich olas, but I am of the firm belief that now that the United States has come Into the war Germany is sure to meet her Waterloo. 'I know it Is almost Impossible for American people to realize the for mer Russian barbarism and cruelly toward all people In Russia who 'did not believe in the Greek church, espe cially the Jews. Under the rule of Alexander HI every intelligent mind was pressed down hard, and over 10,- 000 persons from all calsses, all re ligions and all nations were Bent to Siberia for no other offense than that of being educated. It was just the samo under Nicholas II, who haB just been deposed. "Who could ever forget Kishenof that saw that awful massacre, in 1902, when the Black Hundred, an organized mob under protection of the czar's soldiers, killed 25,000 Jews and plundered 100,000 stores. When the slaughter was going on I went to protect an old rabbi, a dear friend of mine, and a Cossack kicked out 14 of my teeth and otherwise abused me. However I was very glad to escape with my life. "In one day of mob violence in Rus slan Poland I have seen 300 bodies of Jews III the street killed and mutilat ed with inhuman cruelty. And all this killing went under the Bpcclal command of the czar. "The czar is no more. Hut do you think that Kaiser Wilhclm 1b a better and more corciful ruler to strangers of the Jews. No! He Is worse than the czar because he acts under civil izatlon. He kills more people with a smile on his face than the Russian czar did in his Ignorance. Germany took Poland and rules It. Now where are the Jews In Poland today? The German army drove them out from their homes and the Jew lives in no mnn's land. But Germany will meet her Waterloo soon and all will he well." A ,very pleasant luncheon was serv ed In the Ashland pavilion yesterday noon, by the ladles of Medford and Ashland, for the visiting delegates to the Tri-State Good Roads association. J. A. Westerlund, president of the association, presided and introduced the speakers, who Included George F. Cotterill, state highway engineer, of Washington, Herbert Nunn, state highway engineer of Oregon, and Mrs. Winnie Braden, secretary of the Polk County Good Roads association. Mr. Cotterill was particularly en thusiastic over the development of the mineral springs III Ashland and declared that Hhey were certain to prove one of the most valuable re sources of southern Oregon. He com plimented the public-spirited people of Ashland for.their energy and pro gressive methods, and advised an ex tensive advertising campaign through out the country and Pacific coast. State Highway Engineer Nunn drove over the Pacific Highway to the summit and was most enthusias tic over the road. "You have here," he Buid, "one of the finest scenic drives In the state; and the road, con sidering the weather, is in excellent condition. No permanent highway tn the state can" approach this splendid mountain boulevard, with the excep tion of the Columbia highway, and I believe the construction of your road Is equal, If not superior, to that. We will start work the latter part of the month on completing the road to the California line; also will assist In the completion of the Ashland hill cut off. When the work is done, south ern Oregon will have a thoroughfare which will he a source of pride to every citizen of the state." Mrs. Braden explained the Impor tance of women working for the $6,000,000 fcood road bond issue, and suggested that the women's clubs or ganize a campaign In the school houses of the country districts. Show the people what the good road bonds really mean, said she, and it will be endorsed by an overwhelming majority. LIBERT? LOAN PROCEEDS IN BANKS WASHINGTON', May 38 Pro ceeds of the liberty loan, the treasury department announced today, will be dcK)sited in bunks and trust com panies which have qualified ns dopos- luries which forward subscriptions of at least ,$100,000. Where possi ble the other financial institutions forwarding a less amount of sub scriptions will be treated similarly later. The government will pay two percent interest. The government's apparent inten tion to advance approximately $1, 000,000,000 to the nllies before July first, $070,000,4000 of which already has been paid, is reflected in a re quest of Secretary McAdoo to the banks to fake as large amounts of treasury certificates m possihlo 'and at least equal to fifty percent" of the payment they will have to make on subscriptions.

Smith, a negro physician, out of town and lodged him in the county jail at Oswego. He wa sarrested In connec tion with the atempt yesterday to pour acid down Hie throat of Mrs, Asa Smith. The assisting prosecut ing attorney tonight related that Mrs. Smith informed him that the man alleged to have committed the act. accused her of bringing an estrange ment between himself and her hus band. Mr. Smith Is said to have fi nanced the physician's medical course and to have befriended him Jrom youth. A reward of $1000 was offered by Ml. Smith for the man's capture a few hours before he was taken. It was said tonight that Mrs. Smith's bums prabably would prove fatal. WASHINGTON, May IS. All available American trans-Atlantic tonnage for the time being will be used to transport supplies to Russia, France, and Italy under an agree ment about to be made by the Amer ican government with the allies. Great Britain has assurred the Uni ted States that stio can carry enough supplies in her own ships to meet the needs of the United Kingdom and perhaps spare- some vessels to sup plement American tonnage in supply ing the other countries. No general agreement as to appor tionment as to shipping among the countries most tn need has been work ed out, but a definite program prob ably will be decided on In the near future. Meantime the shipping board Is putting the repaired German ships into service as fast as possible, char tering them to the allied govern ments for single trips. The govern ment is besieged with requests for tonnage to take coal to France and Italy and general supplies to Russia. Approval by the shipping hoard of diversion of coastwise ships to trans- Atlantic service has brought a flood of offers from coastwise companies for permission to put their vessels to carrying supplies to the allies. These offers will be accepted by the board where It appears removal of ships from coastwise runs wilt not work hardships on communities ser.yed by the vessels. It Is probable also that some ships may 1e withdrawn from other foreign runs to be put in the trans-AtlanUe trade, although the shipping board Is inclined to e ex tremely careful in this reBpect to pre vent disarrangement of normal for eign trade.

I never tasted a Flakier Pie Crust (Report No. 9) By the manager !Here Is my first ex perience with Cotto lene pie crust: One night, early this month, our Lancaster County cook, Alice, an nounced: "You all are going tohave a real bUt k bcrry pie tonight. I used a jar of berries from Mr. David's box, and Cot tolene." I was glad she had used Cottolene. 1 want ed to see how it worked. But I was sorry later that Alice liked that pie. We four bachelors left nothing for her but the big blue pie plate. Ly nn,who comes f rom Lexington, Ky., said it reminded him of the blackberry pies his old mammy used to make. And Dave, who is in the telephone business, got rid of his before we had a chance to say "Hello", I never ate a Thanks giving pie at home that beat that one, I noticed the lower crust especially. It was light and flaky. I at every bit of it, which is a thing I seldom do with lower crusts. After it was all over, we cast an unanimous vote for Cottolene. We have used wholesome Cottolene ever since. Only last night Alice made a Cottolene apple pie that was a wonder. From R. P. B. FREE! Cook Book tnmjininjj 23V twipt by izmtm cok wit ftw. Writ loThe N.
