PACE THREE
TRANSFER CO. D
il ARTILLERY
!II
Surprise, consternation and indig
nation reigned among the member
of Company D tf tlie Third Oregon
Infantry when it became known that
Captain H. A. Canaduy received an
official order this morning from Ad
jutant General Straffin in notifica
tion of the transfer of the local com
pany to the Oregcn coast artillery
Bervfce battalion about to be organ
ized with Captain A. J. Vance of
.Medford in charge.
The members of the company de
clare that they will not abide by the
order without putting up a strenuous
light against the propesed change,
and assert that much injustice will
)o done the command and each man
in it if such a change is made against
their will. The officers of the com
pany have nothing to say beyond the
fact they are surprised and cannot
understand why tho order should
have been Issued.
Aiiout the ntiddlo of December
when Adjutant General Straffin and
Cclonel Dentler, I'. S. army inspec
tion officer, were here to inspect the
company; they at the time broached
the subject of a change to the coast
urlillery service, saying that a bat
talion of that service was about to be
organized and that there was a fine
opportunity for the local company to
get Into it if they wished.
Company I) to a man did not wish
to, as was shown at the next com
pany nieelinp, when they unanimous
ly voted against tho suggested
change, and this news was sent to
the. adjutant general's office. The
members of the company, which is :t
federalized cemmand, say that they
enlisted in the national guard by
preference as' infantrymen, as mem
bers of Company i), an infantry or
ganization of the Third Oregon In
fantry regiment, and that this at
tempt to change them to artillerymen
and merge tho company into a unit of
tho new battalion of ccast artillery
service is wrong and an injustice to
them.
To say that the men of the com
pany are disgusted is putting it mild
ly, as despito the fact that the Port
land companies or the regiment have
long had their full equipment the
.Medford company has been plugging
along fc'r six months past witii only
partial equipment, and (o this day is
still wearing Its old cotton uniforms
and Is' without the federal uniforms
and other personal clothing equip
ment. There is not even one over
coat in the company. ( ..
The' reason for the delay In send-
ing this equipment is now apparent
ini view of the order just received,
and the men assert that it was held
back because of the contemplated
change of tho company over into the
coast artillery service.
Jt is understood that the Ashland
cttnpany of the Third Oregon is also
to be transferred into the coast nrtil
lery service battalion which Captain
Vance is scheduled to command.
.Major White of Kugene, arrived
in the city today to inspert the local
company tonight. Ho is commander
of the Third Oregon Infantry battal
ion to which the company is attached.

Tho appointment of Mrs. Schieffe
1 1 il to this hiiih honor reflects credit
on the wemen of Medford and south
ern Oregon irrespective of politics:
and all acquainted with her well
known ability and capabilities nfjreo
that no better selection could have
Ifeen made,
For years Mrs. Schief felin has
been a public spirited woman of
much activity in club affairs and gen
eral activities. She is a former presi
dent of the (i router Medfcrd club
and was its secretary for several
years, and is now and has been prom
inent in led Oops work. She was
one of the organizers and "leading
members of the Women Suffrage
club of Jackson ccunty.
All of her adult life Mrs. Schieffe
lin has been interested in politics and
has always been u democrat. She
was an ardent supporter of President
Vih:ou in his two campaigns, worked
hard for his election and made many
speeches thruout the county.
The notice of Mrs. Schieffelins
appointment is contained in the fol
lowing dispatch on .Ian. ifth from
Wiashiniaon, D. C.f to a Portland
newspaper,:
"The democratic national commit
tee yesterday declared a vacancy in
i he office of assoi iate committee
woman from Oregon, thereby ousting
Mrs. Alexander Thompson because of
a lack of harmcay with the national
committeeman. Dr. .1. W. Morrow.
Dr. Morrow was authorized by reso
lution to name her successor, and
announced he will appoint Mrs. R. Ci.
Schieffelin of Medford.
"The action taken by the demo
cratic national committee at "Wash
ington amounting, virtually, to the
direct removal of Mrs. Alexander
Thompson as the Oregon representa
tive of tho women's bureau of the
democratic national committee is the
direct result of a loiij? standing feud
existing between Mrs. Thompson and
Dr. .T. W. Morrow, national commit
teeman from Oregc-n.
"Mrs. Thompson does not like Dr.
Morrow a little bit and has not hesi
tated to express her mind on that
subject. She-now contends that the
national committeeman is "st re tell
ing the truth" when he says that he
'made repeated requests for her
resignation." She says she was never
asked to resign and that she does not
consider it much of an honor to work
with Dr. Morrow, anyway."

Ijiscu at Liberty Today
The first local showing of "Lasca"
featuring Frank Mayo and Kdith
Roberts, opened at the Liberty today.
"Lasca' is based on tho famous
poem by Frank Desprez, adapted for
the screen by Percy Heath, and pro
duced on a lavish scale.
The scenes of "Lasca" are laid on
both sides of the Uio , Grande. It
shows the life of the MeNican's as
well as that of the Texans and gives
a picturesque view of the wealth;
frontiersman's existence during ,t he
most colorful period in the history of
the Lone Star state.
Around the story suggested by the
poem the author has woven a plot
of the most engrossing interest of
love, jealousy and adenture culmin
ating in the great stampede of the
herd.
Frank Mayo plays the part of
Morcland, the wealthy young Amer
ican ranchman; Kdith Roberts was
chosen as the Ideal player for the
role of Lasca.
