MEDFORD, OREGON, . SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923 NO. 211 Mail Tribune IS GRANTED .T0S.PACIFI0 Restraining Order Issued By , U. S. Dist. Court in Portland Against Medford Construct ing 6th St. Crossing As Per Order of State Public Ser vice Commission. The city administration was thrown tli In the air this forenoon upon the receipt of the following telegram from Clarence Hotchklss, United States marshal at Portland, by Mayor B. C. Gaddls and City Attorney John H. Carkln: "The United States district court for diBtrlct of Oregon in Portland to day iRsued a restraining order against the City of Medford, members of the city council, City Superintendent C. W. Davis and yourselves, In a suit brought by the Southern Pacific company. The ordcr states that the defendants, their agents and employees, and each of them, are hereby especially restrained and onjolned from entering upon, dis turbing or in any manner Interfering with the right of way, station grounds, tracks, structures . or facilities of plaintiff In the city of Medford, county of Jackson and state of Oregon, until further order of the court. Please obey order or further Bervlce will bo made promptly." The receipt of the above telegram telling of the temporary Injunction suit begun In the fedoral courts means that the proposed Sixth street grade crossing over the outhern Pacific - tracks, the work of establishing which was to have been begun the first of next week, may because of this op position of the railroad company In the courts, be delayed several years, or In caso the company succeeds In getting a permanent injunction will nevor come about. It also means that the city now has a long legal fight with tho company in the courts. The injunction suit is the answer of tho Southern Pacific company to the defi Issued to the com pany last week by the city in which the latter declared Its doclslon to re fuse to pay $18,000 or any other sum to the company for use of its right of way In establishing the crossing; and proposed to begin work on the cross ing after Novomber 24. The action of the S. P. was rathor unexpected by members of tho city ad ministration, although tho railroad had consistently fought against the pro posed grade crossing ovor Sixth street both before, at the hearing of the public service commission on the city's request to establish such a cross ing, which was granted, and Bluce. But the railroad's opposition scorn ed so mild lately, as woll as at the hearing, that the city officials grad ually became lulled into a feeling that when it came down to taclis, tho op position, beyond Informal protesting, bad died away. It seems, howover, that all this time the Southern Pacific had the Injunc tion suit up its sieves ub a last re Bort. LONDON, Nov. 24.

L There is a strong probability that the tax payers of Medford will be given another opportunity to vote on the question of issuing bonds for a now high school building, Bhortly after the first of next year, and that this tinio the proposition will be put up unanimously by the school board and a campaign of education and facts as to plans and cost will precede the election.

At a special meeting; of the school board last night at which the only absentee was John C. Mann and with mombera-A. B. Cunningham, Ai H. Miller, Elmer Wilson and Dr. I. D. Phipps present, the board hold an In formal discussion i with Frank Clark, woll known local architect, on tho subject, and decided to put up the question to tho people again, to gether with ample information ob tained from architects and perusal of other modern high school build ings built in recent years. Mr. Clark, who designed and built a large modern grade school bulld Inc al Sllvcrton, Ore., for $60,000 within the past two years, which has attracted wide and favorable atten tion, will leave Monday on a vacation sojourn in Southern California to re main until the first of January, and during this time he will visit various hih school buildings In the neigh boring state and gather ideas along this line for tho Medford school board, which he will report to the board on his return.

CONVICTS ESCAPE BY Spanish and Italian Consulates in Philadelphia Blown Up Many Injured, Damage Is Large Special Guards Are Ordered Out Reason for Crime Mystifies Authorities. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24. Two terriflc'bonb explosions in foreign consulates In the downtown district to day injured scoros of persons, damag ed many houses and threw the south ern' section of the city Into wild excite ment. No ono was seriously hurt, so far as the police could learn. The first explosion occurred at the Spanish consulate, 701 Pine Btreet, about 1 a. m. and the second at tho Sons of Italy bank, Broad and Tasker streets, an hour later. Tho Italian consulate Is located In the bank building and the bomb was placed on the door leading to the consul's office. Both blasts shattered window panos and shook houses in a wide area. The force of the explosion at the Spanish consulate was so great that many per sons wore hurled from their beds, some being cut and brulsod by flying glass. The bomb, concealed In a wooden box, was found on tho doorstep by Emllio DeMottn, the consul, when he returned from the theater. ,Ho placed it Insido the hallway but after retiring he told tho pollco he had concluded that a passerby had left the box on the doorstep temporarily and might re turn for It. . Without a thought of the doaflly bomb concealed within, he got out of bed and replaced the box on the doorstep. , A few minutes' after returning to hlB room, the explosion occurred, tearing out tho entiro front of tho building and wrecking the consul's room on the second floor. Mr. DcMotta was badly shaken up. The Sons of Italy bank building was wrecked by the second explosion and a number of houses In tho neighbor hood were damaged. The fact that the Italian consulate was located in the building led the pollco to believe that the same porsono were responsible for placing both bombs. Luigi Slllittl, the Italian consul, was not In the city but Vice Consul Guldo DIVIncenzo who ap peared at the scene shortly after the explosion, said he- had no Idea why the place was bombed or by whom It was done. Like the SanlBh consul, he Bald neither he or tho Italian consul had any enemies so far as he knows. Birector of Public Safety Cortelyou assumed personal charge of the situa tion and ordered guards placed around all consulates in the city. He also sent out a general call ordering detec tives to guard the homes of Mayor Mooro, the various Judges ' and other prominent city officials. Ho said he had not definite Information regard ing the Identity of the persons or per son responsible for the bombings but; declared it was his belief (hat they were members of "radical" organiza tions which have been ununually ac tive hero recently.

Nov. 24. President Ebert has invited Herr Von Kardorff, a member of tho German people's party in the relchstag, to form a new German cabinet, says a news agency dispatch from Berlin this afternoon. It Is anticipated that ho will accept, the messago states. BERLIN, Nov. 24. While awaiting word from President Ebert as to his plans for the government that Is to succeed the defeated Stresomann, po litical leaders this morning wero dis cussing the several possibilities tho situation contained. Tho nature of tho new government remained a mystery over night and observers were wondering whether the president would try a preliminary ministry or whether he would decide upon a restricted directorate. The socialists last night let It be known that they would ho benevolently neu tral toward a selection representing the clericals, tho democrats and the German people's party but they mado It plain that they would not approve the Inclusion of a non-partisan expert In such a ministry. In. view of tho political difficulties experienced by Chancellor Strcsemann In dealing with tho retch stag, some party leaders felt dissolution of the national legislature was tho only alternative to a popular coalition. Tho radical leaders, however, wero con tending that the president should make every effort to recruit a govern ment from parliamentary sources. Among the statesmen mentioned overnight ns possible candidates for the chancellorship was Dr. Helnrlch Albert, former German fiscal agent at Washington and later associated with the Cuno ministry as secretary of the treasury. Dr. Albert Is a non-partisan. Anoth er man prominently spoken of was Dr. Johannes Von fileber, premier rt Wurttomburg and a democrat. Whatever President Ebort's final decision, political leaders were urg ing this morning that there be no de lay tn straightening out the govern ment crisis. A long controversy over the successor to Stresemann, these observers' asserted, would have a most unfavorable effect abroad Just at a time when a move for financial assis tance for the reieh was reported as under way. It was also pointed out that a serious parliamentary deadlock would also prejudice the position of the relch tn Bavaria and the Rhine land. ' WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.

Referring to Mr. Graham's conten tion that tho continuance of Repre sentative Glllett of Massachusetts as apenker with Mr. Long worth as lender would be looked upon hh sectional control over tho party's activities in the house, tho Ohio representative finds It "a tit f lo difficult to see how floor leadership from Ohio is sec tionalism and leadership from Illinois is not.' . The republicans, ho says, will havo only a "slender majority" in tho house, having rmt many of their "best parliamentarians and fighting men," while tho democrats "havo a number of additions of great strength," making the leadership of the major ity party "a position of peculiar ro sporiMlblllty and difficulty."
