Victor Emmanuel Given Big
Demonstration When He
Refuses to Sign Decree for
State of Seige Martial
Law Order " Rescinded
Fascisti Power Grows.
ROME, Oct. 28. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) King Victor Em
manuel, the newspapers declare, will
refuse to sign the decree (or a Btnto
of selge.
An imposing demonstration by fas
ciBtl and nationalist citizens took
place tonight In front of the Quirinal,
the crowd enthusiastically acclaiming
the king.
LONDON, Oct. 28. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Martial law was pro
claimed in Italy today to take effect
at noon but the proclamation later
was rescinded, it was stated in dis
patches from the Stefanl agency In
Rome, the semi-official Italian news
organization.
It is explained that the with
drawal of the proclamation is the re
sult of an improvement In the situa
tion. Special dispatches this morning
told of the beginning of a concerted
movement by the fascisti against
several towns. Florence, Pisa, Cre
mona and other chief centers were
declared to have been taken over by
the fascisti forces, which deponed the
state forces and assumed command.
Apparently, according to these ad
vices, there wan 'too resistance.
Communications in all parts nf
the country are badly disorganized,
and the news of the declaration of
martial law is the first to reach here
since the movement started.
King Victor Emmanuel Is kiown
to have returned to Rome last night
with the 'intention of conferring to
day with various political leaders In
an endeavor to form a new cabinet to
succeed the Facta ministry which was
forced out by the threats of the fas
cist!. ROMB. Oct, 28. (By the Asso-
dated Press.) The Italian cabinet
in a proclamation to the people says:
. "Seditious movements having man
ifested themselves in certain pro
vinces of Italy, having as their ob
ject the interruption of the normal
functions of state powers and calcu-
4 lated to plunge the country into
grave trouble, the government has as
far as possible tried every means of
conciliation in the hope of re-establishing
peace and reaching a peaceful
j, solution of the crisis."
"Iri the face of such Insurrection
ary attempts It is the duty of the gov
ernment by all means, at whatever
cost to maintain law and order and
this duty It will carry out to the
full In order to safeguard the citizens
and free constitutional institutions.
' "It in thn irnvflrnmnn fa avnnMntlnn
that the citizens' will remain calm
and have confidence In the measures
taken for their safety.
. "Long live Italy.,
"Long live the king."
ROME, Oct. 2 8. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The cabinet council
has. been in session since midnight
in order to receive reports from the
provinces where the fascisti move
ment has taken a subversive direc
tion and to adopt necessary measures
to meet the situation. The cabinet
decided first to issue a proclamation
declaring a state of siege in all the
districts at noon today, but later this
decision was modified and a procla-
( mation was issued urging the public

BEDFORD HIGH
LOSES GAME IN
FINAL MINUTE
The Med ford high school football
team encountered the hardest kind of
tough luck in the last thirty seconds
of play in their game yesterday after
noon with the Oregon Agricultural
college rookies at Corvallis, when with
the score 14 to 13 in their favor up to
that time the. Rookies scored and won
the contest 20-14.
This great showing by the home
team on the enemy's field against
their heavier opponents, has filled the
local student body with pride and a
warm welcome undoubtedly awaits the
homecoming of the team on Monday.
The Medford team was to have
played the Albany high team at Al
bany yesterday afternoon, but that
game was cancelled because of the
unexpected death of the Albany quar
terback 'after "tlie Medford , toairi . had
reached that city. There was just
time enough to arrange a contest with,
the O. A. C. Rookies to take the place
of the cancelled game, hence the Med
ford players and the small body of
rooters accompanying them hastened
on to Corvallis.

him," she continued. "Mrs. Carle

Carleton Btood with a gun In her hand
and seemed crazed.
fiun Failed to Go Off
"She raised the gun and pointed it
at me, but either did not pull the trig
ger or it failed to go off. as it waver
ed a second in her hand and then she
turned it against her left breast and
fired."
Mrs. Christler declined to detail
the conversation which passed during
the time preceding the shooting. She
intimated that only ordinary afaflrs
were discussed and that Mrs. Carle
ton's visit was regarded as a friendly
call.

POLITICAL TALK
CQ'MUNITY HI
Civic Improvement Club De
cides Democratic Candidate
for Governor Can't Dedicate
Club House With Appeal for
Votes.
ASHLAND, Ovt. 28. (Specaal to
M.. T.) Notwithstanding- that a full
page announcement In tho local paper
heralded tho official dedication of
the local - community . elubhouHe to
night -with Walter M. IMorcfS demo
cratic! candidate for governor, de
livering tho dedicatory addresH it has
dawned upon tho Civic Improvement
eluni that its organisation is strictly
non-partiHan, nnd not wishing to re
enact the acenes lately transpiring at
Talent and Eagle Point incident to
political turmoil, ther club has, very
judlcioiiHly, put tho soft pedal upon
Walter'B appearance in .Uie roloj of
laying any political cornerstone for
the new edifice. Ah ft result,- Pierce
will muuo tho political cauldron boil
at the Chautauqua building, although
not as a formal attraction of the as
sembly circuit. Ho will talk Upon
taxation In general and Incidentally
dwell upon cortain phases of the
locnl municipal campnlgn.
Furthermore, we rve to have a trio
of attractions the same evening in
stead of one only. The second one
will be a sort of antidote to Pierce's
pAlnvef, tho scene shifting to the
Armory, where a quartet of speak
ers, including Reames, Colvig, Kelly
and flore will address the meeting,
dwelling upon the qualifications of
candidates, both state, county and
city.' i
Tho third attraction will be emi
nently a social one, It being in the
form of a banquet tendered to Jesse
Winburn by a number of "local
friends tho Indies qualifying the an
nouncement by stating thnt they
"have tendered tho use of the build
ing, for tho purpose, the banquet to
be In .appreciation of tho splendid
spirit shown by Mr. Winburn in
mnklng generous contributions, nrit
only to, the civic club building, but
towards other municipal benefac
tions." Tho denouement implies that
tho ladles have sought to extricate
themselves from a rather embar
rnsHlng dilemma. "Ten Nights in a
Unr Jtoom" was depicted years ago
in both text book and drama, but
here in Ashland wo have Pierce bar
red In one night. The trio of enter
tainments,, in order to attend and
enjoy them all, should assume the
phase of a progressive party, but how
to accomplish this when each event
in staged for eight o'clock In the
same evening. Is a problem which
is on a pnr with the old query, "How
Old Is Ann?"
In tho meantime the reul, genuine
dedication of the Community club
house is Indefinitely postponed until
a more convenient season, probably
not until nftnr the gencrnl election.
