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repealed at every council meeting,
any many others are to be repealed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.

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
