Following a severe lecture given to
him last night h.r Culled States Dis
trict Attorney Haney, Rolph Weber
stadt, tho young rancher arrested
early this week because of having
mado seditious utterances, was re
leased from the county jail by Mr.
Haney 's orders and given his free
dom.
As far ns tho government Is con
cerned Andrew J. Vedder, the float
ing laborer arrested on the same
charge, will also he a free ninn ns
soon ns he has served out his 10 days
jail sentence for carrying a concealed
weapon. He also was bitterly ar
raigned for his treasonable talk of
the past by Mr. Haney and warned
nffalnst any repetition of It In the
future.
The district attorney did not deem
either caso of sufficient importance
to bring before a I'nited States com
missioner, especially as he doubts
the nanitay of Vedder ami thinks
MieherMadl's conduct was due more
to ignornme llian downright treason.
Janitor Hovey of ihe Medford high
school building came to grief through
violating the rood administration's
sugar purchasing and consumption
ruling, and as at consequence the
local Red Cross chapter Is 2o richer
in money for patriotism. Other vio
lators may yet he caught.
In checking up t:ie sugar cards
from grocers County Food Adminis
trator Folger discovered that this
man, who part of the tiirio has only
two members in his family, and the
rest of the time three, had purchased
during tho canning season '200
pounds, whereas at the most he was
only entitled to 1U0 pounds. The
sugar was purchased from two differ
ent grocories, 100 pounds from each.
"You Just thought you could put it
over on us" said Mr. Folger to the
man, whom ho had summoned before
him for a hearing, and who had
claimed ignorance of the sugar rul
ing and any intent to violate. Mr.
Folger finally suggested ho would
have to pay $25 to the Red Cross
and $2 costs for the hearing, or take
a trip to Portland and he tried be
fore the federal authorities.
The checking of the sugar cards
from tho different groceries is only
partially completed and others may
get caught in this checking process.
EXPLOSION WRECKS PLANT.
(Continued from page one.)
er'te-i were devoted to a vert ins a
wor-e dia-ter.
.Thousands of people had hurried
awnv from Morgan ami surrounding
towns (lurinir (lie nitiht, leaving
iiiunv communities virtunllv without
resident populations and with them
muv have one mini v of the (iillespie
emplovps.
Military trunrds were thrown
around the plant and all newspaper
men were barred from the vicinity of
the explosions.
T, . T. Mngaincs Ituiied
With bii: explosions still takiim
place at Id a. m. shaking surrouud
inir towns. Vice President Yales of
the Gillespie company gave out the
following statement :
"We eanoiit conceive how it can
Inst much louver. The larL'e mairn-zine-i
of T. N. T. nre buried in a bank
of the Cheesemmke creek and we
feel are safe."
The actually known dead number
11.
While utiof fieinl estimates placed
the number of known fatalities nt Tt7
nt 10;;itl a. m., an officer of tho (iil
lespie cotiionnv expressed the opinion
that the death lit would prove much
smaller.
Out of the confusion mine this
storv of heroism. A trainload of ex
plosives lav on a sidimr near tite
Gillespie plant. A railroad fireman,
his identity not vet known, jumped
to the engineer's post on n loeomo
tivle, coupled it to the train und took
the ears out of the danger zone. As
his task was completed, a shell struck
him and he was killed.
As u precaution, authorities order
ed evacuation of all towns within 10
miles of .Morgan.
Some refugees said that before the
first explosion occurred last niuht
they saw an airplane hovering over
the Gillespie plant.
Slgnor Iterenlni, Italian minister
of education, has ordered the estab

the liattle, eKpeclally on the left of
the line ,near the Argonne forest,
where the advance was quite rapid.
These machines were able to go over
the ground easily becuuse the mud
had dried out considerably. During
the past few days the co-operation ot
the tanks with the Infantry has been
perfect.
DOUAI FIRED BY HUNS.
Continued from page one.)
that each end of it enfilades any
force that attai ks another portion.
The American troops on the left
kept in perfect touch with the center
and rapidly cleaned up Exennont and
Chehcry and captured Fleville. Hy
noon they had mopped up I. a ter-
Siette and I.e .Menil farm, as well as
the Grange farm. They had also
taken Hill 2 10. This advance had
"been just as rapid as that of the
troops further to the east, notwith
standing the fact that they went over
the top a 5S0 o'clock without any
artillery preparation and handed the
Germans a big surprise.
Just south of C'hehery the general
advance was slowed up by a German
counter attack and the American
tanks had to be sent for to drive the
enemy hack. ,The Germans have set
fire to villages of liomagne, Gesnes,
Cornay, Danthoville, Chevieries, St.
Juvln and Marco,. Shells from Amer
ican guns fell thick along the front
and ammunition dumps everywhere
were exploded when the shells reach
ed them.
Center's Task lluMrst
On the center of the line fell the
bulk of the work. It was here that
the deppest advance of the day had
been planned. On the right the
troops operating northward along
the Meuse met with hardly any resis
tance at first and easily pushed up
to the outskirts of Bruleulles. Ger
man artillery on the east side of the
river, however, soon opened up an
enfilading fire which not only af
fected the extreme right of the Amer
ican line, but carried far over toward
the center. Tho enemy artillery fur
ther west along the line opened up
with a barrage thru which one Infan
try regiment had to storm before the
American guns could silence the Ger
man batteries. t
All the areas back ot the American
linos were subjected to nn Intense
bombardment before the attack had
boen going on very long. After cross
ing No Man's Land and getting into
the enemy defenses, the American in
fantry was "Htet 'with "machine gun
fire which ' was Intense all along the
line. The fighting was so bitter
everywhere that the number of pris
oners taken fell far below the total
for the first days of the last two
drives. Among those brought in
were some belonging to naval units,
showing that reinforcements had
hurriedly been thrown In against the
American nttack.
Tanks played a prominent part in
fortwss. While the British advanced
toward I. Hie from the west, the Brit
ish and Belgians In Flanders con
tinue to widen the salient east ot
Vpres, further menacing the German
position in Flanders and south of the
Scarpe.
Villages fiPt Afiro
American troops stormed the Ger
man lines east of the Argonne forest.
They advanced all along the line,
especially Just east of the Argonne
forest, where they pushed forward as
far as Fleville.
Many villages hacke of the Ger
man lines are reported burning. They
are evidence that the enemy intends
to retire further toward the Krlem-
hlld line, .which is the main defensive
position west ot the Meuse.
Dispatches show the enemy Is
abandoning his submarine bases on
the Belgian coast.
In Albania Austrian armies along
the Semini river seem to be in precip
itate retreat. Italian cavalry Is op
erating in this theater of the war.
Save vour papers and mneazines
specially the irlnzeil paper ones, lor
Ihe Jied Cross, and R'md them to
Ihe corner of Main and Bartlet next
week and the Red Cross rooms after
nevt week.
