lb addition tho postmaster general
proclaims (hat a reward of $5000 will

by a postal employe. No reward has

The reason of this arming of em

throughout the United States.

"When a man Is in a hypnotic sleep

President Harding's refusal to arbl

' ItYMPNB, England, April 113. (By
Associated Press.) (exchanges which
have been going on for some weeks
between the Ilritlah and French for

the German government doea not sub

German proposal Ib exported to be
kUbmltted to the allies immediately,
but even Its decision Is expocted to be
conditioned upon satisfactory execu

. From a French source, however, It
was learned that when a similar sug
gestion was previously considered he
decided that Its acceptance would
mean throwing work Into the hands of
the German laborers and industries
which should prnporly belong to the
French. Besides, It was said, whnt
France was chiefly Interested In at the
moment was whether Germany Intend

WRONG IMPRESSION
IN BARNUM CASE
"A wrong Impression was created
by the publication in a recent issue
of the Tribune In which it was stat
ed that the California Oregon Power
company, prevailed In Its case against
Mr, Barnum in tho supremo court."
said Attorney LN'cwbury today. "The
company lost Its case In the circuit
court In which It prayed tor Judg
ment against Air. Barnum for $160(1.
The case was thereupon appealed to
the supreme court and tho supreme
court affirmed the decision of the
circuit court. A small sum of money
was earned by the receiver while he
was operating' the road amounting to
$3SC. This had been paid over to
Mr. Bnrnum, and tho California Ore
gon Power company filed a petition
for modification of the supreme court
decreo to havo this $306 paid to Mr.
Barnum because it had hoen wrong
fully paid to him, and tho supreme
court modified the decreo it had
mado to this extent; but In the case
of Its claim against Mr. Bnrnum In
the Bupreme court It lost, and recov
ered no part of Its claim from Mr.
Barnum."
IT
PUT IN MIL ON
An uulooked for commotion occur
red at the public dance In Jacksonville
last night when Dud Wolguniott, a
well known Medford man was placed
under arrest by Deputy Sheriff J. J.
McMahon on the charge of Intoxica
tion and was escorted to the county
jail where he was later released on
$25 cash bail by Sheriff Terrill to ap
pear In justice court this morning.
Wolgamott did not apiear In court
but was represented by his attorney,
G. M .Roberts, who entered a plea of
not guilty and the case was st for
trial next Wednesday. The case Is
attracting much Interest.
It is claimed that when the deputy
sheriff first placed Wolgamott under
arrest the latter attempted to resist
and struck the officer, whereupon Mc
Mahon knocked him down, and then
hustled him away to tho county jail.
Enroute there and In the jail It is
further claimed that Wolgamott used
very abusive language and threatened
to kill the arresting officer later on.
Wolgamott, according to tho police,
feigned sickness in Jail, Or. Sweeney
was summoned from Medford,
and when the physician was about to
shove a hypodermic needle into his
body Wolgamott refused to let him
and said: "I am not sick, I am just
mad."

was forced to make a landing in a
Tield, where this plane has since been,
nnd will be for some time until a new

iNTING PAPE
A!R LATEST STUNT
LOMJOX, April Initial trials will
soon be made in the publication of a
daily newspaper from airplanes in
flight, a new phase of journalism.
Air planes will leave Paris and Lon
don daily. Machines from Paris will
print editions of the Aerial Mall in
French and those from England will
print their copies in English. Matches
of the papers will be dropped by para
chute in Boulogne, Rouen, Aimens
and other cities where there are sub
scribers, says the Daily Mail.-

ing plants and will issue news oT poll

eral character.

M ANAL A, Nicaragua, April 211.
Nicaragua has given up it.'i member
ship in the League of Nations, this
step being due to the expense of hold
ing n. place In that organization
BELFAST TRADE
DUBLIN'. The boycott against Ufl-j
fast by the rest of Ireland, officially j
irdered by the heads of Sinn Fein, is
being enforced with all the power or,
the Irish republican army, and daily J
reports are received of attacks onj
traders who continue to do business,
with llelfast. j
The Tact that all tuts pressure lsi
necessary shows unwillingness ou the I
part of traders to sever their relations
with llelfast, which does an cxtesnlve
and varied business with the most dis
tant nationalist districts. The bread
supply of many of the towns In Con
iiauglit is baked in Belfast and deliv
ered daily by train. Several consign
ments have been followed up and de
stroyed. In some of the towns as fur away as
the County of Clare the local traders
are served from Belfast, and many of
them have been warned against dis
obeying the Sinn Fein order. At rail
way stations in that county Belfast
goods have been destroyed In the
stores.
It Is imiiossible to obtain accurate
Information as to how far the boycott
has proved effectual. Belfast citizens
admit it is an embarrassment but not
a very serious attack on their trade.
Sinn Foincrs insist that it will cripple
Belfast.
There oro many kinds of trade
which Dublin could do a3 conveniently
for the rest of the country as llelfast.
Tho boycott nffords Dubln business
men a chance to capture some of this
extensive trade, but so far apparently
it has not appealed to them as a busi
ness proposition, and thero is no ap
parent sign that capital is being in
vested on the prospect.
