PICE ETOTTT MEpFOM) MAlt TRTBUXE, - fEDPOTfb, OKEflON, MONDAY APRIL 27, 1925 F SAVES MEDFORD FROM BiG FIRE A minor fire, but which occasioned much excitement and apprehension for a short time because of Its location in the business district, occurred at 8:30 o'clock last night In the one-story old frame building on Front street at the corner of Eighth Street, occupied by the Scotf Second Hand 8Ure. The one-story framo building immediately adjoining and occupied by the Scott store for stock storage was alBo badly scorched. Both old buildings were owned by C, D. Mobley, who had been planning to tear them down in tho near future and erect a modern business building on the site, hach structure was In sured for HOC and ' because of the city's building restriction, which does not permit the repair of such old frame structures beyond a cost of $25, Mr. Mobley's loss is complete outside of the tSOO insurance. This morning Mr. Mobloy sold both old structures for $20 to a man on the latter's agreement to tear the build ings down at once and cart thorn away, and Is now in the market to rebuild a modern business structure if suitable tenants are found. The Scott Second Hand Storo proper had its roof partly burned off and tho interior badly burned, but the storage room next door and Its stock was not badly damaged. Ray R. Scott carried an Insurance of $3000 on his second hand and new Btock in both buildings. His loss Is estimated at between $1000 and $1500. He had recently leased tho storeroom In the concrete building several doors north, on South Front street, and planned to soon move his store there. He will now move his business to that location as soon as possible.. The flames wore well under way when the fire department arrived, and tho situation looked vory threatening for the business district bounded by South Front street, Main street. Eighth street and South Central ave nue, but a few minutes' work by the now powerful pumper extinguished the fire. Several Iioro lines were laid as a precaution, and two arrests wore made of-auto drivers who drovo ovor the hose, and who were fined for that In police court today. The fire was caused when Chester Henderson, on omployo of the Scott store, loft his car standing In front, went Inside to get a pa'r of pilars with which to fix the car, lighted a match and thoughtlessly threw It on n pile of oil-soaked rags. Flames immedi ately arose from this pile and spread rapidly. "l Honderson ran to the nearest fire alarm box and rang In an alarm, but In bis anxiety to get back and move his car to snfoty, did not remain to phone in from the box the exuet lo cation. Hence, when the alarm rang and the firemen d)d not cntch tho oxneti location, they first proceeded to an- other location, corner of Main and , Holly streets, having a similar box number. However, on finding no fire there they hurried back tn the other! box and by this time the flames wore showing up and there were men to direct them to tho blaze. Only a few minutes' time wns lust, however, thru j the mixup in box signals, the tire jle partment doing excellent work.

Franco Sees Benefits. PARIH, April 27. (Hy the Asso elated Press) That Von Hlnden burg's election to the German pres idency may prove beneficial if it opens the eyes of the world to the real sentiment of the German people was the opinion expressed today in official circles, wherp the result of yesterday's polling caused no sur prise. In the same quarter, it was said that tho largo women's vote for the field marshal was deemed the most significant feature of the . election. The men. it was believed, had voted for either Dr. Marx or Field Mar shal Von Hindenburg in tho greater part for party reasons, while the women votes for the war hero, it was held, probably were chiefly sen timental. , : "This," said a spokesman at tho foreign office, "ought to open the eyes of the world to tho fact that there is no such horror of war nd militarism among tho German people as, has been thought in certain coun tries. 'This lesson," he added, "ought to be meditated upon, particularly in the Anglo-Saxon countries whore thero has been a marked disposition to give the German people credit NOW!!!

Dr. Marx, it was pointed out, showed himself equally hostile to the treaty of Versailles. Wis pro postal .that Germany annex Austria was quite as alarming to the allies as any extreme project Von Hinden burg might have in view. Tho con clusion wns, the spokesman - said, that the success of the field marshal might turn out to be more advan tageous in the long run if the logi cal lesson were drawn from it everywhere. A.
