George Grigsby, Victim of
Saturday Night Attack Can't
Be Found Witnesses Give
Confusing Stories Regard
ing Tragedyi
The hearing of the case against Luis
Garcia for assault with dangerous
weapon terminated at two ritteen
this afternoon with dismissal. The
victim of the brawl. George Grigsby,
who face a bootlegging charge, was
not present at the court aenslon this
morning and neither was he at bis
home. He could not be located.
Testimony in this morning's ses
sion of court was that Mr. and Mrs.
Luis Garcia. Albert Garcia and Marie
Nickerson had been playtng at the
Shasta and that Marie Nickerson left
about ten minutes prior to the lime
the others left. She arrived at her
rooms at 510 East Mand and had
been there but a abort time when
three men entered the room. She
testified that they had been drinking
and that she was not acquainted with
them. The men were Identified aa
Grlgaby. Nelson and Nichols. Within
ten minutes the Garcia brothers and
Mrs. Garcia arrived: the visitors pro
duced a bottle and offered drinks all
around. The two Garcia brothers
accepted tho offer and took ono drink
each. The girls refrained from tak
ing any of the liquor. Soon the al
leged uninvited visitors offered to
sell liquor to the Garcias, who refus
ed to purchase It. A little later they
(the alleged uninvited trio) became
loud and objectionable and Albert
Garcia testified that he requested
them to leave the house if they felt
It necessary to make such an amount
of 'nolso. They did not leave and
Gnecia brothers, Mrs. Garcia and
Marie Nickerson put on their hats
and coats and left the house hoping
the trio would follow, which they
did.
The Garclns and Miss Nickerson
went to the Optimo cafe and procured
a cup of coffee, started back down
Main street toward their rooming
house and met the trio at the Page
theatre. The entire lot proceeded as
far as tho house where the Garcias
room. While they walked across the
bridge, it is alleged, Nichols and Grigs
by used exceedingly offensive lan
guage in addressing the ladies In tholr
presence. An argument started in
front of the bouse.
Miss Nickerson started toward town
after the police and was detained by
Nichols. Sho called Albert Garcia to
her assistance aud he and Nichols be
came engaged In a fight. It ta alleged
that shortly after this Nichols callod
to Grigsby, "Go get the banjo" (mean
ing a banjo which had been taken
from Gnrcla's rooms while he waa ah
sent at tho Optimo cafe), "and we'll
clean up on the whole bunch " Grigs
by secured the banjo from beneath the
bridge where he had hidden it and
was coming across tho street with it
w hen he aud Luis Garcia mot. No one
saw the actual meeting, as far as has
been shown so far. Nichols caught
Grigsby as ho staggered mid bolped
him west on Main street as far as the
Medford Service Station where he col
latiHetl and was unablo to go further,
At this point the officers arrived and
the ontlro lot wore arrested.

and that the men will be moved as
rapidly aa conditions permit.
The Morning Post, a newspaper
which has steadfastly shown hostility
to Irish home rule and has upheld
the principle of unionism, today print
ed the following dispatch from its
Dublin correspondent:
"The provisional government will
make a great mistake if it does not
level Dublin castle to the ground.
There is an evil spell upon it. Its
spirit of iiftolerant. bureaucracy, the
type of politician that it harbored
and the kind of administration it
bred did more to destroy the union'
than agitators and treason mongers.
"When the exodus begins, the fast
nesses of Dublin castle will disgorge
high salaried officials who have not
done a stroke of honest work in
years."
The correspondent intimated the
officials against whom he was writ
ing are in collusion with "rebels,"
while drawing salaries and wearing
titles received from the crown.

RESERVE B'D
Effort to Defeat Amendment
By Connecticut Senator
Fails Senator Glass De
nounces Those Who Talk
Sense to Bankers and Non
sense to Farmers Why
Not Tell Truth?
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.Th
senate late today defeated a motion
to send back to Its banking and cur
rency committee the bill to put; a
fanner on the federal reserve board.
The motion made by Senator Mc
Lean, republican, Connecticut. - was
voted down, S 2 to 17.
A few momenta later the senate ac
cepted 64 to 10, the Kellogg-Smtth
compromise amendment to the orig
inal bill providing that a farmer be
Included on the reserrs board. Thla
was held to forecast passage of the
hill. The senate late today by a
vote of 63 to 9 voted to amend the
federal reserve act to as to appoint
a farmer to the federal reserve board.
Denouncing "those who would de
stroy the great reserve banking sys
tem for the sake of politics." Sena
tor Glass, democrat, Virginia 'de
clared that much more good woofd
be accomplished for the country "If
some senators and others would talk
sense to the bankers instead of non
sense to tha farmers."
"Why not tell the farmers the
truth once?" queried the speaker.'
"Why insist on drawing the picture
of deflation and credita aa the mon
ster which brought reduced price.
Why not show that a lot of banks did
not take advantage of the resource
of the reserve system, and thereby
impaired and limited their own abit-'
ity to aid "
The senator said that 42 per cent
of the banking power of the south
was lodged In banks not members of -'
the reserve system and that 39 per cent
of the banking power in the west
was not included in the system, while
In the Pacific states, 36 per cent re
mained outside of the system.
President Harding stands ready, it
was said, today at the White House,
to appoint a representative of the
agricultural interests on the reserve
board In event of enactment of the
