r PAGE SIS MEPF6RP nilB VBtfBVm, SEEBFORTV , OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MAY, 16, ?923 10 BE PROTECTED BY A NEW ORDINANCE ' Tho city council last night had a busjj' session during which 14 ordl pances, niostly of a routine nature, were passed including one changing the present tire limits In one or two minor features, as drawn by the city- planning commission and which has heretofore been published. Another new ordinance passed was one' at the request of the local photo grapbers which licenses all photo, graphers doing business In Medford both resident and visiting picture takers, and whose purpose is to pro tect the resident photographers from temporary outside and fly-by-night competition. Heavy penalties for vio lation are provided. Among other routine ordinances passed 'Were otoea repealing water measures relating to water rules In accordance with all tho water affairs of the city npw being In the control and 'management of the city water commission. ; City Attornoy Carkin has long beon busy at work culling out tho useless and dead letter ordinances passed since the city government was found ed, many of which are covered In sim ilar ordinances on the books. A numbdr ot these ordinances are being repealed at every council meeting, any many others are to be repealed as Mr. Carkln finds time to cull them out. It will bo some time yet before this simplification and reduction of ordinances is completed. E. M.. Wilson, the accountant has just completed his audit ot tho finan cial affaire of tho city for tho past four years, an advance copy of which report waa submitted to the city council last night by Mayor Gaddis. Theeport was referred to the fi nance committee of the council. : CLAIM WIF.E WA8 BIGAMIST that won the friendship of Mr. Rocke feller, and a plan for harmonious op eration of the Rockefeller and Gould railroad Interests was arranged. Next, Mr. Gould seized upon a cir cumstance which brought him close to Andrew Carnegie, who was engaged In a controversy with the Pennsyl vania railroad at the time. The Iron master offered Gould a liberal con tract in exchange for bringing the Wabash road into Pittsburg on its way to the Atlantic coast, and through these concessions the railroad builder secured another powerful friend. Showed Marked Ability For two decades after the death of his father, George Gould continued to manage the vast properties, anc many financiers and railroad men have do clared that he frequently surpassed his famous mentor In his capacity to weave an Indefinite Jumble of rail roads Into a definite and complete syo. tem. He was a director of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway company, the Rio G-ande Southern railroad, the Utah Fuel company and of the Manhattan Railway company. During his career he had been president of the Little Rock; and Fort Smith Railway; presi dent and chairman of the board of ill rectors of the' Missouri Pacific rail way; president of the Texas and I'a clfio railway; president of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern railway; president of the Internation al and Great Northern railway; direc tor of tho Wabash railroad, and vice president of tho Western Union Tele graph company. Dissatisfaction among othor ot the heirs of Jay Gould over George'B nan dling of the estate, however, had been growing for some lime, and in July, 1919, he was removod aa executor and trustee by a court order. Mr. Gould's, first marriage was in 1880 to Edith Klngdon, who dropped dead while playing golf on tho Gould estate at Lakewood, N. J., In Novem ber, 1921. From this union there were five children. Elopes With Actress In May, 1922, Mr. Gould married Jeanne Sinclair, a former actress, 30 years his Junior. The second marriage was regarded as almost as much of an elopement as the marriages of three ot his children, Edith, George Jr., and Kingdon. The first nows of It came from Paris, where the couple were 8endlng thoir honeymoon, but It later transpired that the ceremony was performed In Lakewood. As n consequence of this marriage, Mr. Gould lost property valued at $3,000, 000 left by his first wife, which re vorted to a trust fund for hor children. While Mr. Gould apparently enjoyed good health during the years he spent as a railroad builder, It developed dur ing a lawsuit In 1923 that ho had suf fered a breakdown, and was spending most of his time In Europe recuperat ing from bronchial trouble. In the Bpring of 1923 he became seriously 111 while In Kgypt, and was hurried back to his villa In southern France suffering from pnoun-.onln. For several weeks his life was despaired ot by tho foromost physicians of Eur ope. Mr. Gould's home In Lnkewood. N. their part of the responsibility ofij,, been described as one of the (Continued from page one.) calumny" conducted in the Ameri can press. , This afternoon the court ot ap peals granted the application on be half ,of Mrs. White to intervene in the .probate action against Mrs. Crofeer. The Intervenor's plea gives Guy R. Marone as the name of tho previous husband of Mrs. Crokor. Attorney Jollelt testified that the marrtuge of Bula to Marono was solmenlzed at Northampton, Mass., In September, 19 11,. and that the couple lived to gether some sixteen mouths.

Optimism Misplaced TIEN TSIN, Mny 16. (Uy tho As sociated Press.) Reports from Wu chang yesterday said that optimism pointing to tho Immediate rolease of tho forolgn captives hold by Chlnose bandits wns based on, misplaced ne gotiations lasting three days and that a settlement was no nearer than at tho start. The delay was said to havo been due lnrgoly to tho tho fact that the brigands who seised the express train near Suchow were not acting Inde pendently but wore members of on extensive organization which must bo consulted. Other factor mav hnvo entered Into tho situation but it Is evident thnt the attitude of the bandits has stiffened.
