courts in an endeavor to have it de

P. F. Lindas of Medford, who will

Mr. Lindas' Idea is not to attack the

DAILY GRIST OF
I
Sad tales of the hard hearted state
motor traffic cop grinding down in
nocent auto owners and drivers,
which almost moved, almost 'Squire
Parrell to tears are heard in Justice
court here daily, but that tender!
hearted official always recovers in!
time to impose a fine.
The story of L. M. Julian, clean cut
young man of Seattle who has been
visiting his father at Rogue River
for the past nine days, as related la
court today was especially sad. He
was returning in his Ford bug from
taking a friend to Ashland last night,
whun between Gold Hill and Rogue
River Motor Traffic Officer J. J. Mc
Mahon, lurking about seeking whom
he might devour, motorically speak
ing, approached him on his motorcy
cle and Julian failed to dim the head
lights of his bug, which aa it proved
atterwarda, was of the lightning bug
variety.
Stopping and turning around Mc
Mahon pursued the fast flying car,
which he says was going at 38 miles
an hour, stopped it and placed Julian
under arrest. . He then discovered
that Julian's rather delapltated look
ing car, had only one tall light, was
wearing a Washington state license
and had gunny sacks for side cur
tains. Otherwise it was all right.
Julian frankly pleaded guilty in
court to speeding, the only charge
which McMahon had preferred
against him, being broke with the ex
ception of 35 cents in his pocket, and
that if he was fined he would have
to serve it out in Jail.
Too bad, such a nice young man,'
muttered the substitute judge with
fast moistening eyes, and then quick
ly recovering his composure ejaculat
iug "Ten dollars or five days in Jail.-'
On the court's suggestion Julian went
out and pawned his car at a local
auto establishment tor $11, the extra
dollar 'being obtained as car fare back
to Rogue River.
A. C. Morau of Grants Pass was
the next McMahon victim up on
charges of speeding and failing to
dim tho lights ot his car, Mr. Moran,
as autolsta in court usually do, de
clared that "Mac" waa mistaken as
to the speeding charge Dtit he plead
ed guilty to failing to dim his lights
on being approached. Ho said he had
just traded cars and had not got ac
quainted with this one yet. There
were four buttons to press and he
pressed the wrong ones when ap
proached, trying twice.
Furthermore Moran said he had no
funds with him It he were fined, and
that he had had so much bad luck
lately.
"Poor man," said the sympathetic
judge as he reached for his handker
chief, which had not been used since
Thursday when C. C. Lemmon was
before him on an auto speeding
charge. Changing his mind suddenly
he "soaked" Mr. Moran fines ou the
two charges aggregating $15 and

Whips and canes were used by the
combattants in the struggle, which
arose over efforts to win control of
the permanent commission which is
to act' during the recess ot congress
January 1 until next September.
Election of this commission has
been expected for the past fortnl'hr,
and the galleries at each session
have been crowded with the sympa
thizers ot the contending groups. The
liberal constitutionalists represent
moderate political opinion while the
social democratic bloc is credited with
radical tendencies.
Hooting and shouting in the gal
leries have made the sessions almost
impossible and last Monday Eduardo
Yascolcelos, president of the chamber.
ordered the police to clear the galler

crowd remaining until the sitting was
finally adjourned. Afterwards a
fight took place outside the chamber
between the two groups which requir

President Obregon for armed forces
to maintain order and the latter
placed 200 soldiers at his disposal.
The galleries were crowded at an
early hour and the usual disorders
began, whereupon the soldiers enter
ed the chamber and stood at atten
tion for halt an hour. Members ot
the chamber protested at the military
display and the troops were ordered
to retire to the corridors.
Discussion ot the budget then was
continued until there came a sudden
Invasion ot the galleries by follow

and sticks. They attacked the lib

and a hand to hand fight ensued, in
which the attackers were victorious.
