FAOE EIGHT MEDFORD MATL TTjrRUNE, MTCDFORD, OT?EOONT, WEDNESDAY. MARCH -2, 1021- WON 1921 THE F E 1 ,At a well attended forum luncheon held this noon at the Hotel Hollund. Representative Ben C. Sheldon - gave an intereBtlng resume or tnc work of the leRlRlature whose session has Just closed. .Mr. - Sheldon described the sesaton as one which accomplished a great deal of real constructive legislation but, so fAr as concerns floor work in the two houses, was colorless: lurKcly due to. the fact that- most of the larfte problems were settled "on the side lines through conferences between In terested parties before the measures were allowed to come up for passage." Among those development measures, specific, mention was made of the Port of Portland program,' tlio log-Kqd-off-and district bill, tunnel dis trict hill, two school bills, which Su perintendent Churchill says mark a mile stone In the educational progress of the Btate, tax commission for Port land budget bill, commission for in vestigation of general tax iirobloms of the state; and several others. ,JMr, Sheldon also explained the leg islature's action regarding soldier bonus Vfwhich will come before the people at a special election In June) antl-allcn bill, fishing legislation, the raad. program (which was 'touched very lightly as the subject has been set for a la'ter' forum meeting), and the general question of salary .in crciuwn pnd .appropriations.

A brief referonco was made to lo cal measures which hnd been askod of tho ' delegation, all but one. of which had been onacted Into law. ' On this point, Mr, Sheldon very force fully chided local organizations for tholr 'carolcssness In not sending to the legislature tholr requests until the session was- well advanced, ' after wjilqh timo tho -work' of the delega tion . on getting such i nmttors legis lated Into law .was. Increased, threo or four fold. Ho dlsO'dalled attention to tl6 fact, that on such local meas ures as. wore subjects of controversy om6ng our home people,. It was neither wiso nor fuiivto allow the del egation to leave for tho session at Sa lem Until there, hud beon a general disaustilon-'-for .the same hero at home ahd something definite In tho way of Instructions tQ tho delcgatlnn deter mined Upon before tlio opening of the session, '.'. : .

"Having bcon notlflod In tho name of the .allied and associated lowers that all tho Islands north of tho equa tor had bcon allocated to Jnpnn, the council of the league merely fulfilled its resiwnBlblllty of defining tho tortus of the mandate.

V. i.MortliHind, lilmsolf a native Mlssonrlim, spoKo of the achievements of tho 'Missouri con fjronsmiin and declared that ho had boen a great figure In Ilia slate and nation. : The 0agc ludlnus lived In Knnsas until 1907 when they worn moved to Oklahoma to become tho richest' poo )ile on earth. ITHOUT Medford has enjoyed many novel ties In the theatrical line, but It re mained for something entirely new to be sprung at the Page last night when it alrge audience witnessed the splendid production of clever May Robson and company m tho delight ful comedy, "Nobody's Fool" with ev ery member In tho cast in street clothes and without a bit of com pany scenery. Tho reason for this was that the company arrived In tho city from Chlco, at 7 p. m. only to find that through somo unexplalnable reason the train had failed to pick up Its baggage and scenery car at the Cali fornia city. Even their make up trunks were In this car. There was Just timo enough for tho company to hunt up druggists and purchase grease paint and other facial make up material, and send out nnd borrow a police man's uniform coat. The performance began practically on tlme'wlth the actors and actresses wearing their ordinary clothes, bar ring the police uniform, after that lovablo artist and comedienne, Miss Hobson had explained id tho au dience In a happy voln regarding the lost can and company's predicament in a costume and scenic way. . . From that moment the show wont over with a bang, thrcatrlcnlly speak ing, tho appreciative audience Boom ing to llko tho performance all tho mora for Its lack ot stago garb and spocial scenory. Thus again was pioved thnt tho play's ; the thing, whon that play is good In plot and pluyed by an alt around clovor company, TE8TIM0NY CONFLICTING (Continued from Page Ono) Healing Cream Stops Catarrh Clogged Air Pimgei Open at Once Nose and Throat Clear. if your nostrils are dogged and your head stuffed because of catarrh or a cold, get Ely's Cream Balm at any drug store.

Don t tay stuffed up, choked up and miserable, Kcji.ef, it live' .said that District Attorney Roberts, wnon no saw the records, said to Sheriff Ten-Ill: "You've got your dates mixed, haven't you, Charlie," The witness said that Evnns had boen roleascd after his first arrest on tho rocordB of tho firm of Hlnes and Snider. ' J. A. furry, former bookkeeper of nines and Snider, now vlco-presldcnt of thn-Tomlln Hox Factory, was the second witness for tho defense, and Irtontlfled tho time book of tho auto firm showing that Evans had worked In tho garaga on tho dnto of tho' crime. Curry also Identified n number of timo slips .turned in by Evans. The statu, on cross examination, attacked the reliability or tho records. ' In tho cross examination of Curry, tho Btato stressed tho time slip of September 13 (the day of the crime) showing that Kvans had worked la hours that day, and had made a notation on tho time slip for rqferonce, later allowing eight hours. Curry was positive In hl-i . state ments, also that ho posted tho lime, by custom, on tho day 'the work was performed. Tho witness testified he romcmbared seeing Kvnns worklnu on a Ford truck belonging to a n an by tho nunio of Oreen. Thu bill for tho truck repair was prutosttd by Oreen on account of the work per formed by Kvnns, nnd wns compro mised. Tho witness was .cross ones- tinned nt great length unon details of tho timo slip methods, etc., and Ms experience as a bookkeeper. Tho witness testified that. Evans nan caned at tho-offlco on tho even ing or September lath, to get uin : enecK nnd that, ho could not got sumo because Mr. nines had not signed tho check. Tho stntu was unable,, nfter an ablo cross oxnmlna tlon to swervo Curry from the salient points of bin testimony. i:ulry identified a bill sent by tunes una snider to the llluo l.edin mine for repairs, including placing of a vacuum tank on tho nuto driven by nm snndry, which tlio defense main tains Kvans Installed on the after noon of September 13. Tho witness recalled seeing Kvnns about tho gn rnge on the nay of the crime, anil on tho next dny, Sumlny. ijito Tuesday afternoon Sheriff lerrlll was railed to tho stand and testified to elrcumstnnrcs relating to vt line freeing himself by cutting the ropes mat bound him on n l ock.

Kvans toro tin tho loiter when detected passing It to his wife by uepuiy sinoriu John H. Wlmer. who test it led thiisly, nnd It was laboriously pieced together by the sheriff's of (ice. The defense objected to the Introduction of the letter mum the grounds that It was a privileged com munication, which wan overruled by tno court. Questioned regarding his Internal In the. rase, Sheriff Ten-Ill said it was not In excess of that manifested . usually by nn official of (he law. At torney cewnury was mocked In an effort to ask the witness nbout stntn nionts ho Is alleged to have made, to the general effect that if Iho light witnesses could be secured. Kvn; would be admitted. The court in sti'ucled the defense to submit the questions In written form for ruling. V. (!. White, chief witness for the stnte. nnd victim of the hold up was recalled to tho stnnd for a few min utes this morning, nnd questioned by tho state ns to the locution of the crime, and by the defense, ns to whether he wore spectacles when the crime was committed, and ns to the number of prisoners in the county Jail at Klnmnth Falls when ho Identified Kvans.

G. White, victim or the holdup, testified under cross examination In detail re garding his Ford auto, and his Identi fication of same" In a garage at Sort Klamath. Mr. White testified at great length, and the court mildly rebuked Attorney Newbury for tho defense after an exchange with the witness. William Mclntyre, a resident of Jacksonville testified to White's com ing to his house about midnight, Sept. 1919, and untying his hands.. Tho witness was not cross examined by either side. . H. J. Bocker, a painter of Grants Pass was next called. He testified that he bad known the defendant since boyhood, and that he called at his paint . shop on September 13th, and Introduced himself, and the . woman with him as his wife; Cross examina tion by tho defense failed to shako Docker's testimony that It was the lllth ot September.
