WAY, BUT DOUBT

After having spent tho day hero
Thursday In conferring with city of
ficials about a subway and other im
provements the city government has
requested, E. h. King and Ben Dey, I
superintendent and attorney respec
tively, of the Southern Pacific in
Oregon, left last evening for their
headquarters at Portland.
So far as can be learned nothing
definite resulted from this confer
ence beyond the fact that it looks
very doubtful that the railroad in
cooperation with the city will build
a subway at Sixth street, or even a
surface road across 6th street, as the
city officials had hoped. Supt. King
refused to give a definite statement
on the subway proposition, but show
ed that. he did not regard that pro
ject as fcasabje. Ho stated yester
day that a subway would cost from
$90,000 to $100,000.
Attorney Dey, who has much to
say about the proposal to establish a
surface road across Sixth street If a
subway cannot be built, also did not
seem inclined to favor that proposi
tion.. In addition he pointed out that
such a surface street crossing could
not be established without the con
sent of the state public service com
mission, and that it has been the
policy of that commission to do away
with all grade crossings possible.
Hence it is argued the commission
would not regard with very much fa
vor the establishment of a new grade
crossing in Medford.
Another feature why it Is said the
Southern Pnclfic itself would not fa
vor a surface' crossing is that it
would cost the railroad company
about $300 a month to maintain
crossing watchmen at the point, and
that the company does not want to
transport the mail between the depot
and the postoffice.'
There is a provision that wherever
a railroad Is within a certain direct
distance of the postoffice it must
transport the mail between the train
and postoffice. The Southern Pa
cific now escapes this provision
through the fact that there is no
crossing at 6th street and hence the
route to the postoffice is not direct,
but round by way of Main street and
side streets.
However, Superintendent King and
Attorney Dey agreed with Mayor Gad-
dls and the other city officials that
the old warehouses along the rail
road right of way through the city
should be done awny with, and with
other minor suggestions, which
would tend toward improving the ap
pearance o tho city in the vicinity of
the railroad tracks.
They departed last evening with
the promise thut they would forward
back In writing within a reasonable
time their understanding of the con
ference yesterday and the position
the railroad will tako about the sug
gested improvements.
Superintendent King made the
statement yesterday that the build
ing soon to be started of long freight
tracks In the southern and northern
terminals of tho yards, and the re
moval of the water tank from Its
present location to one near Jackson-
street improvements that the rail
road management Itself some time
ago decided to make to do away wich
much of the blocking of traffic at
street crossings, will cost $45,000,
Ho declared that with these contem
plated changes made the Southern
Pacific would save $45,000 annually
by being able to handle freight traf
fic faster in and through the city.
nous said ho was laburliiK under tho
apprehension thut JoluiHun was Word
but had since discovered his mistake.
8. W. Dunham, elevator operator,
testified thut Jonn-ioti Had tried to
shako hunds with him, thinking ho
wub someono else, and that when he
discovered lls tnistuko ho retired.
Chief of Police Adams testified
that he was called to the hotel, and
that he had been told by Davidson
that "Tom Word is drunk." The de
fense counsel questioned Admns rela
tive to why he hud not sworn to the
complaint, ln November, 1922, at the
time of tho alleged crime, "instead
of waiting until the eve of tho so
caled nightridtng trials." Adams said
ho did not know Word, and thut the
complulnt was held until Word cnnie
to town, on offieiul business. Tho
defense asked. Adams who had In
structed him to muko tho complaint.
and the query was blocked with an
objection from tho state.
Mrs. Mabel Hammersley of Port
land testified that she saw liquor at
tho table at which Word and a party
of friends were seated, but did not
soo "who drank It." Sho said she
thought tho defendant was "drunk
from tho way ho acted." Mrs. Hum
merslcy is a former resident of Gold

coherent manner, nnrt that he detect
ed no liquor on his breath. Tho last
time tho witness saw Word was about
seven o'clock In tho evening when he
turned over incomo tax papers to him
and that they talked for a few min
utes beforo taking leavo of each
other.
J. F. Keller, Investigator for the
Pacific Coast Auto association testi
fied that ho met Word on Fir street
near tho nlley, between nine and ten
o'clock, about tho tinio Davidson,
McQownu and Fifer testified they
saw him pass the cigar store, and
that they stopped and talked, after
wards returning to Word's room In
the Holland, and that ho was sober.
Keller said he had known Word
'since 1904 when he cleaned up
Portland," and that ho always car
ried his overcoat in a peculiar man
ner, and such wus "a Joke among
tho boys." One of tho links in the
state's case was the manner in which
this act was performed, being held
by the collnr in the crook of tho arm.
E. E. Kelley testified ho saw Word
on tho night of November 22, 1922.
between the hours of six and seven,
and that he was sober, and' when he
called was reading tho Portland
Telegram.
Maurice Coturri.f chief special
agent for tho Southern Pacific, made
a deposition ln which he said ho was
in n dinner party at . tho Medford
Hotel on tho night ln question with
Word and Evan Reames, that no
liquor was in evidence, and that a
man "who introduced himself as a
brother of Hiram Johnson came to
tho table, and pulled' a flask from
his, hip pocket." Ho, testified that
Word left just befono this, and that
Johnson was seated nt another table
muklng a nuisanco out of himself.
Word took tho stand In his own
behalf, and denied all tho allegations
of tho state. iHo said ho was 65
years of age, former sheriff of Mult
nomah county, and previous to that
had been a travelling salesman, visit
ing this section for 06 years. He
testified that ho drank no liquor on
November 22. 1922, and that he did
not tell Richardson, tho hotel clerk,
"Rich, I'm drunk."

for 20 years. f
S. C. Richardson, clerk nt tho Hoi
land Hotel, testified that Word came
into the hotel, shook hands with him
and said, "Rich, I'm drunk." Rich
ardson said he smellcd no liquor on
his breath, that ho walked to tho
elevator without staggering, and thut
Word was "known as a kldder."
C. M. Speck testified that he saw
Word in tho lobby of tho Medford
Hotel on the night in question, that
