TRUNK WITH BOOZE
HELD IN MEDFORO
A Ynklma, Wieli., citizen who had
been visiting relatives una friends In
Med ford and who had tried to take
home with him on the train Saturday
night his trunk, which in addition to
his personal effects contained tour
quarts of whisky and one quart of
sherry wine, is now safe at home, but
minus his trunk which is in the cus
tody of the authorities here, who say
the man was not a bootlegger bt
was merely attempting to smuggle
the booie, which he had obtained In
California, home for his own : use.
Prosecutor Roberts feels confident
that the man wants his trunK and
clothing and therefore will arrange
thru a local lawyer to plead guilty
of transporting liquor and pay a
more or less stiff fine.
The utter carelessness of the night
baggageman at the S. P. depot Satur
day night gave the whole plof away
when ho dropped the trunk too hard
on the floor, after It had arrived a
moment before the train In a local
taxi cab. The trunk owner just had
time to have the trunk checked and
hurry aboard tho train,
Had not Deputy Sheriff Terrell
and Speed Cop McDonald, who Is also
a deputy sheriff, been nosing around
the depot the Yakima man would to
day, be home dishing a taste of the
booze out among friends and gleeful
ly telling about how he fooled those
Med ford jays.
The second the taxicab man ar
rived at the depot and deposited the
trunk on the platform, the deputy
sheriffs were alert and susplcloned
what was up. This suspicion was
verified when the baggageman drop
ped the trunk and liquid began flow
ing on the floor from the broken bot
tles. The deputies ordering " the
trunk held, got Into phone communi
cation with Prose:utor Roberts, but
by that time the train had pulled out
of the depot. 'McDonald jumped onto
Ills motorcycle and speeded to Cen
tral Point hoping to find the Yakima
man aboard the train there, while
Terrell procured a search warrant
from Justice Taylor. , ,

TURNS OUT TO BF
"Albany has at last won a Croix de
Guerre," says the CorvalHs Gazette
Times. "As a coffin was being un
loaded there today, with four pall
bearers properly creped standing by
to lift the dear departed gently to
the hearse provided, the baggage
man, who, like the Lord, is no re
specter of persons, bumped the coffin
a little too strenuously with the re
sult that something broke loose In
side, and a stream of liquid flowed
from the casket
"Until the aroma began to distrib
ute Itself in' the murky atmosphere
for which Albany Is noted even on
the sunniest days. It was thought
that this was but embalming fluid
and so it proved, but of the kind that
quickly drew a crowd like unto that
of flies about a molasses barrel. In
the crowd came a policeman, . be
opened the casket right then and
there; and instead of a flu victim, it
was found that the casket contained
enough booze to swamp any commu
nity in the Willamette, with the ex
ception of Albany, which is in the
non-slnkable class.
"Our dispatch does not say what
became of the pallbearers but It is
probable that they hurried away .to
get some more crepe, their sorrow
havig suddenly become overwhelm
ing. And 'tis Bald the flags on Air
, .bany's court house and city hall hang
at half mast."
f VIOLATORS OF
SPEED LAW ARRESTED
Eight violators of the speed laws
and one of the motor light law were
gathered in by Speed Cop ' McDonald
Saturday and Sunday, but seven of
the persons are juveniles and their
cases will come before the Juvenile
court. Among the juveniles were C
Cowley, son of the mayor of Central
Point; Ross Small, Marvin Glisan
and a youth named Terrell. ,
James Leslie, the Medford taxicab
proprietor, was charged with driving
his auto at 35 miles an hour on the
Pacific highway Sunday afternoon
between Medford and 'Phoenix, and
will answer to the charge before Jus.
tlce Taylor. McDonald also arrested
It. C. Georgoson of Ashland for fall
ing to dim lis lights. A. C. Plcklns
pleaded guilty and was fined $10 In
Justice Taylor's court today, for not
having a 1919 license attached to his

Xot Time Enough
-. The uncertainty' f the future on
the part of employes would iuerense
as the '!! months period would draw
to n close.
Twcntv-one months is not enonch
time to complete mnnv extensions and
improvements, and it would be hard
for the government to undertake such
a protrram which would show results
durinsr the control period.
Early relino.uish.ment would not
cause nnv more chaotic condition now
than later, even under lesislation
providing a reform scheme.
Uld rates would not so into ettuci
automatically with cessation of eov
emment control, nnd railroad com
panics would not be thrown into bank
ruptcy, us has been fenred.
Mr. nines went into detail to ex
plain that he believed the courts and
the interstate commerce commission
would uphold the present level of
rates, nnd thnt the railroads were
nndulv alarmed over tho prospects of
financial d'snster in case their prop
erties wore soon returned to private
tn"nnacer""t
iieuocrnuon auviscu
'"'Advising more deliberation on the
railroad ancstion, Mr. llines said:
think that before anv more lee-
islation can aetuollv be shaped, there
will be a strong; renssertion of the
permanent views of that part of the
public which insists on a creatcr de
cree of social control of the railroads
and thnt this reassertion of the viws
now temporarily in the back eround is
soin? to defeat the adoption of any
permanent procram in the next two
years.
I f this shall be tho case, the result
will be thnt the end of the 21 month
period will approach nnd thnt there
will be no actual solution at all. and
then 'there will be an outcry for an
extension of time and ill all proba
bility the time will then have to be ex
tended."
At present, said Mr. llines. the un
fair inference is persistently drawn
that the heavy operating costs are
oeci3jirilv due to increased rates of
waees. whereas thev are lareelv due
Jj)jSrconditions. Since last year
was under abnormal wnr conditions,
this year ini'olves readjustment, and
norma! conditions will not be until
next year, he declared, nnd will be in
the middle of 1921 before a fair view
of eovernment operation can be ob
tained. ; ,
Permanent Solution
No plans before the committee meet
the fundamental-necessities of a per
manent solution, said the director
srenernl. Those already proposed, he
declared, would perpetuate existing
railroad capitalizations which he be
lieves were the cause of deep seated
suspicion on the part of the public
and labor, and which must be cor
rected before any permanent solution
can be had. f
A permanent solution. Mr. llines
said, should eivo the eovemment and
perhaps labor, participation in excess
profits of some companies under
standard rates. Plans heretofore
proposed were based on the theory
that railroads should receive a rea
sonable return, no more and no less,
but in actual results, he believed the
return would be inexact and widely
fluctuating. Mr. Hines added that
proposed plans for poolinor and con
solidations will prove, illusionarv be
cause thev cannot successfully - be
made compulsory.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3. An appeal
to the Christian public of Great Urlt
aln to support the prlu'clplo of self
government of all peoples qualified
tor it has been Bent from this city
to the leading newspapers of Great
Britain and Ireland by the national
committee on the Churches and the
Moral Alms of the War. This com
mltteo has been conducting a cam
paign thru the American churches in
support of President Wilson's pol
icies In prosecuting tho war. Inter
national justlco and a league of na
tions. It comprises representatives
of the Church Peace union, the
League to Enforce Peace, tho Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ In
America and the World Alliance for
International friendship thru the
churches.
The appeal is signed by former
President William II. Toft, Alton I)
Parker, Hamilton Holt, the Rev
Charles S. Macfurland. and the Rev
Sidney L. Gullek and others.
They assert in their appeal thnt
foremost among the moral alms of
tho American church is "the princi
ple of self-government, self-deter
mination and. In the duo and fit end.
Independence for all peoples with
reference to their development, their
training In self-government and their
final and complete self-direction.
"Wo believe." continues tho appeal
that this policy should be applied to
all the acquisitions of any of tho
allies. Lands, Islands and peoples,
not yet advanced in social organisa
tion, government, or a capacity for
the articulate expression of their de
sires may require control, direction
and education. Such should bo kept
In tutelage until they are able to
speak tor themselves and act on their
own account; but this should be done
solely for them, for their develop
ment, nnd tor their frco and self
governing future, and not under pre
text whatever to prqvide the world
with their products and furnish a
profit for others."
