The preliminary Hearing of Pete
Storff, "Iiutch Pete," and Krank Ko
dat. the alleged Gold Hill bank hurd
lers, which began In Justice Taylor's
court thin morning, was resumed at
1:30 o'clock this afternoon. The
prisoners were defended at the bear
ing by Attorney Frank J. Newman,
end the stale's Interests were looked
after by Assistant County Prosecutor
George Codding.
The big feature of the hearing to
day was the revelation bow President
Smith of the bank and the authori
ties came to be tipped off that the
attempt to burglarize the bank was
going to be made. The star witness
of the prosecution was Chas. Foster,
ei-convlct, living near Cold Hill, who
not only testified that several days

Tete with whom he became acquaint
ed while they were serving sentence
Is the Oregon state penitentiary, sev
eral years ago, and Kodat told him,
be alleges, that they were going to
rob the bank, but that the next day
he Informed President Smith, Sheriff
Terrlll and Deputy Sheriff Mc.Mahon
and came to Mcdford and pointed out
to those officers Dutch Pete and Ko
dat, unknown to the suspected men.
Another good witness for the stato
was W. C. Wise, the bank watchman,
who had a one-sided gun battle with
the two burlars who entered tho bank
at 1 a. m. last Teusday. Wise's Btory
does not differ materially with that of
this exciting night In tho bank from
that previously published In the Mail
Tribune except that both burglers
wore masks upon the upper part of
tbelr faces and had the lower part or
their faces blackened or puiuted,
when they ontored the bunk, and the
fact that a Btreet light near tho bank
Instead of a nlmp in the buck room
Illuminated tho banking room Instead
heretofore published.
WlBe In his testimony Identified
Dutch Pete and Kodat as the two
burglars, by their general size, cloth
Inng and generul contour of their
faces. He said Unit Dutch Pete was
the first man to enter, that he had a
euck strapped over his back, and a
search light In ono hand, and wont
over to tho vault at once and was
stooping over and reading a paper
on the front of the vault door, when
the second burglar entered the room
and Wise begun shooting nt him with
his 4 4 caliber Colt revolver.
Charles Foster, the ex-convlc't who
served four years of a term for ar
son for burning down Deputy Sher
iff Wilson's homo in Jacksonville
years ago, has beon engaged in clear
ing a tract of land one mile north of
Gold Kill for somo tlmo past. He
testified that he became acquainted
with Dutch Pete in tho penitentiary.
He said he had not Been him since
until Friday, April 8th, he was In
Pusenbury's utoro at Gold Hill talking
with Dusenhury and otherB when
Dutch Peto and Kodat came In and
the former walked back and forth
seeming to bo trying to attract his
attention, until he finally greeted
him arid that Dutch Pete then ask
ed him', to' step outsldo and tuko a
walk aa;ho wanted to talk over some
thins with him. He went outside
and then he and Dutch Pote and Ko
dat, whom he had never seen before,
walked down to tho vicinity of the
railroad bridge.
. Poster testified that the two men
told him they were going to break Into
the bank the following Sunday, Mon
duy or Tuesday night at 1 a. m., and
that while they did not ask him to Join
them In thin crime they told him to
ltoep his mouth shut and that $-00
would be loft for him under a walk
near the bridge. Foster furthor testi
fied that Dutch Pete and Kodat had a
can of nltro-glycerlne, powder, fuse
and caps with them undor their over
coats ut this time which they In his
presenci concealed under a walk.
OBITUARY.
MEI.ILLA. Morocco, (By the As-
jocluted Press) Slavery and trujirjt;
in alavts atlll flourish In thfe unco.i-
qur red districts of both th French
and Sjjaniflh zonts of Morocco. There
have been stories that tome of the
h laves are white people, Ivit these re
ports are not borne out by inquiry.
Threats by the turbulent Moors of
tho Jtiff coast to sell Into slavery a
Spanish sailor boy, Francisco Sallud,
unless his father, with whom he had
been wrecked and captured ( aid a
rannom of 4,000 pesetas, lei the As
sociated I'resM correspondent t'j make
an Inquiry Into the question of the
existence of enslaved white people
In Northern Africa.
The result of his hiquii i;s shows
that of recent years instances of
white people being wold into slaveiy
have been very rare, but there ure
slave markets for- the sale and pur
chase of colored people in the districts
to which French or Spanish rule have
not reached. The traffic varies iic
cordinff to the economic situation of
the tribesmen who, when they are in
funds, do not hesitate to give hlnh
prices for slaves to be used as serv
ants. Slaves so purchased become per
sonal property of tho family Into
which they are bought and are dis
posed of by testament when the pror
prletor dies.
However It Is customary for the
purchaser to make a formal agree
ment before a competent legal au
thority to grant his slave his liberty
on his masters death, when the heirs
have to give up all claim and at the
Hainu time to allow tho liberated
fllavo to 11 vu on and cultivate any
portion of his dend master's land,
which may have been left to him ai'
one of the family,
A slave-owner may give his slave
a wife from among his other slaves
bought In tho same way and the chil
dren of these marriages become
slaves of the same owner unless he
has signed the agreement already
mentioned In connection with their
parentH.
Tho price fca!o! for slaves vary
considerably. Generally the ag is
tho chief consideration hut girl slaves,
beauty calls for tho highest prices.
Seven hundred and fifty pesetas
(about J 100 at the present rate of
exchange) is about the maximum fig
ure ever paid and this only In the
cam) of a very young and handsome
girl. Should tho human merchan
diso have passed tho ago of 35 or 40,
the price paid Is round about 400
pesetas, never more.
All purchases are made condition
ally on the slaves proving satisfactory.
A close examination is made of th
slaves mouth to see whether ho or Mu
posse nses a complete set of teeth.
Proofs are required that the slave is
neither weakslghted nor deaf and
dumb, white limbs arc tested and
muscles tried and every part of the
body subjected to minute Inspection
in order to discover physical defect.
For women slaves three days'. trial
of their domestic aptitudes is de
manded before tho purchase is completed.
Such are tho conditions of the stave
trade In Morocco at tho present day,
and this Is tho fate from which Fran
cisco Satlud escaped, probably by the
payment of part of the ransom de
manded, although exact Information
as to the transaction Is unavailable.

URGES CONTROL LABOR UNIONS
(Continued from Pag Ont)
SAX FRANCISCO Calls for help
from veterans of the World war fend
their families to the Red Cross are in
creasing constantly, said a statement
Issued by the Pacific division of the
Red Cross here today. The peak of
the relief work has not been reached.
Reviewing the work of the 160 Red
Cross chapters in California, Nevada
and Arizona during the last twelve
months, the statement said 63,733 sol
dier cases were handled. During the
period J341.016.48 was expended for
lellef work.
Work of aiding the former soldiers
Is handled by Red Cross home service
committees. These same committees
started their work during the war and
have continued it since.
In addition to the work conducted
by the various chapters, the state
ment said, the Pacific division has the
highest hospltilizatlon task of any o!
the Red Cross divisions. In the west
ern division there are six United
States public health service hospitals.
Records in an average month show
that in that time more than 2000 pa
tients in the hospitals were treated.
The six hospitals are Arrowhead hos
pltul at Arrowhead. Nevada;. Marine
hospital at San Francisco; Kearney
hospital at San Diego; Palo Alto hos
pital at Palo Alto, Cal.; Tucson hospi
tal at Tuscon and '.Whipple barracks
hospital at Prescott, .Arizona. In ad
dition to the patients at the govern
ment hospitals, 867 patients were
treated in "contract hospitals" in the
division's territory.
"Hundreds of Boldier eases are
brought to the attention of Red Cross
chapters daily," the statement said.
"In 1920 chapters dealing directly with
the various government departments
or indirectly through national Red
Cross headquarters In Washington
handled, throughout tho nation, more
than 200,000 service claims."
The Idea of making a display of
"Madti In the KujfUe liiver Valley Pro
ducts" in the Medfurd Chamber of
Commerce building next week, which
is Home Products "Week, as suggested
by this paper Saturday evening, has
been warmly received by some of the
manufacturers in the vallt-y and with
a committee appointed from the
Chamber of Commerce tonight to as
sist with the project a splendid ex
hibit can be arranged, and the people
will be surprised at the different pro
ducts that are made and sold in this
valhy.
The people, when ordering any;
thing at the stores should always in
sist on having the home made pro
ducts first and after that the products
made outside of the valh'.v and in the
state.
ASK ABSOLUTE EXCLUSION
(Continued "roin Pact One)
"Cascarets" for
Constipation
v, he declared there Is now "no ne
cessity for labor unions" In the opin
ion of the Inrgo majority of both em
ployers and omploycs."
Turning to the subject of possible
duotioa f worklnr hours for em
ployes of tho steel corporation, Mr.
Oury said.
"The officers of this corporation,
ho president of subsidiary compa
nies and a majority of others in po
sitions of responsibility are in favor
of abolishing the twelvc-hour-day for
this roftson and hecuuse of the public
sentiment, It Is our endeavor and ex
pectation to decrenso tho working
hours wo hope In the comparatively
near future."
Tho question of reducing wages
among tho 265,000 employes of the
Bteel corporation has not been con
sidered up to tho present timo, ilr.
Gary said.
"I think when tho high cost of liv
ing has been reduced," ho added, "it
will bo only a question of tlmo when
thero will bo somo readjustment of
wages. The bonrd of directors will
lake tho matter under advisement at
tho proper time.
"Always It has been the effort of
our organization to treat Its employes
very liberally. If a reduction Is made
It will be one of Justice and equality."
The stockholders approved a profl:
sharing plan providing for Betting
aside annually a certain proportion o(
nil net profits abovo J 100,000,000
The distribution would be made to
employes "who by their ability, in
dustry and loyalty havo contributed
In an unusual degree to tho success
of tho corporation."
A special committee will put the
plan into effect, determine who shall
receive shares In the profits and su
perintend their distribution.
Four directors. Richard V. I.lnda

Attention of the committee was In
vited by the witness to what be ehur
acteri'i'd as "the surreptitious entry"
of 700 Japanese -who bad settled in
Nebraska. They came without pass
ports and were unable to send for
picture brides." Mr. MK'latchy said.
with the result that ten per cent of
them already bad married American
girls.
Mr. McfTntohy declared that Japa
nese in the Hawaiian islands would
mpriHo a voting majority of the
people there in a few years and would
largely control the affairs of the
Island. He snid the Japanese In the
continental United States did not seek
citizenship and that only 114 bad be
come citizens under the act of 1!US.
Mr. McClatchy told the committee
Japanese In the I" nit oil Stales were
required to report regularly to Japa
nese government officials and main
tain allegiance always, adding that
this form of dual citizenship was a
very dangerous menace to the United
States.
JAP POLICY BARED
(Continued on Paea Flval
continued, Japan would draw atten
tion that at the meeting of the com
mission on mandates on July 19, 1910,
Colonel K. M. House, one of the Amer
ican peaco commissioners, opposed
Viscount ('Hindu's claim that the same
equal opportunities for commerce and
trade should bo guaranteed In territor
ies of the "C" class (such as the
Pacific Islands) as In those belonging
to the "II" class of territories under
mandate.
Japan Opposes Open Door
"In view of the position thus taken
by thn American delegate," tho note
added "the Imperial government feels
obliged to statu that In their opinion
tho American government cannot with
Justice contend for tho open door in
tho "C" class territories as against
Japan and to inform tho United States
government at the same time that
they cannot consider themselves
bound In any way to recognize the
freedom of other nations In the man
ner insisted upon by the American
government in regard to the landing
and operation of cables even in places
where tho principles of tho 'open door'
is to be guaranteed."
Reverting to its claim to the award
of the mandate over Yap by the su
premo council, tho Japanese govern
ment said the British government had
placed the same Interpretation on the
action of the supreme council on May
7. It also declared that It was unable
to understand why the United States
had waited for more than a year and a
hnlf to question tho decision of the
council.
COMMUNICATIONS

eral interest. Communications to be

Regarding Revivalists
To the editor: I wish to make a
little matter of Interest public through
your dally paper. In regard to the
coming "Revival" to be held In Med
ford. The people here should insist
that this meeting be conducted on a
very different basis than heretofore.
I happened to be In Walla Walla and
Klamath Palls at the time of the ones
there, and myself am a church man.
but must say It was a shock to me to
hear such language used in a pulpjl,
and not only myself but the greater
part of the people thought the same
Now we should be trying to set a high
standard for our young and cannot do
so by such meetings. To show the in
fluence they have' on the young mind
and the conception they get from
such meetings can be seen in this con
versation between two young boys of
Klamath, who met on the Btreet. One
suid, "Where are you going?" The
other replied, "To the show, come
along." The first then snid, "Nit, 1 am
going to hear that revival man; he Is
better than the show, he can swear to
heat the band and it is just like a
circus to go there. ; Ho makes the peo
ple yell and sing like they do at a
real show." Now this is ti nt It, not
fiction, and if it looks that way to two,
many more must think the same, and
does the real good come from excite
ment and noise, or the quiet peaceful
sermons heard in a church pulpit, and
how soon nre the words of a revivalist
forgotten and the ones he attracted
drift back Into the same old way.
Count the good and the evil done by
them and I think the evil will come
out ahead. Could not the money given
to an evangelist be kept at home
among our preachers who stay with
us, or shall we tax the evangelist like
a circus, and how do the people feel
at bavins a meeting break up with a
fight, rotten egging and quarrels, as
it has In other places?

An event pf unusual interest In the

when .Marjorie Rambeau. in "The Sign
on the Door," will take possession of
the Page theatre Tuesday night, April
20th.
.Miss Rambeau, is appearing under
the direction of A. H. Woods and this
is her first venture away from Flroad
way in six years. It was not Miss
Rambeau's desire that has kept'her in
New York It was the insistent de
mand of the playgolng public. Her
engagement in "The Sign on the Door"
might easily have been extended into
the present season, and doubtless
would have been carried along if Miss
Ram beau herself hud not insisted upon
a tour of the principal cities. In "The
Sign on the Door" Miss Rambeau ap
pears in a role that gives her a wide
range of freedom in the display of her
art. Tbut she has given force aud
power to the play and at the same
time added to her own prestige aB an
emotional actress Is shown by the
unanimous verdict of critics and play
goers that her dramatic efforts In I
Channing Pollock s play mark a new j
achievement in tho American drama, i
'The Sign on the Door" is the thril-1
ling play of the hour crowded with j
tense moments, softened with delic-1
Ions comedy and entertaining from i
start to finish. Miss Rambeau Is sup
ported by a company of recognized '
ability. Including ' Lee Baker, Harry
Minturn, Harold Salter, Hugh Dillman,
Beatrice Allen and many others.
