The preliminary hearing of Robert
Harnltsh of Eagle Point, under arrest
on the charge of forging checks on
the state highway commission, which
hearing wus continued from yesterday
afternoon in. order to give time for the
highway department to check up the
payrolls of ilarnish, was begun in
judge Taylor's court this afternoon.
District Attorney Chaney asserts
that Harnlsh, who has lor a long time
been a valued employe of the highway
commission as foreman of a crew of
men at work on the Crater !ake high
way, with th reputation of turning
out un extra large amount of fine
work, has made a complete confession
to him about how he had puddod his
pay rolls to the extent of pocketing
about f 100. The district attorney
says that while a complete check has
not yet been made of the accounts,
the alleged peculations will not
nmount to more than $100 or $150.
This checkup was still in process
today by Mr. JJromley of Grants Pass,
the division state highway engineer
in this district, and by James Devers
of Salem, attorney for the commission.
Harnish, it is charged, worked by
padding the pay checks of certain
members of his crew and induefng
them on his payment to them of the
eact sum dun for their work to turn
over to hitn the balance, on his state
ment that he needed the extra money
to purchase at once needed acces
sories on the job until the state fura
lulled the money to do so. i
Harnish is a young man with a wile
and 3-ycur old child.-

Better Site Committee Come Out:
Into the Open
This Executive Committee wus selected at a conference of rep
resentative Medford citizens to conduct the campaign for the North
Holly llit,'h School site.
. This committe has no financial or business interests to consider
in this fight. It has at heirrt only what it believes to be the best
interests of the City of Medford. We are all volunteers. AVe liavo
no paid workers. We have no coerced or bribed school teachers to
spread poisoned and partisan propaganda among the children of our
public schools, at public expense. " In our organization we have no
hotel architects inspired by the prospect of fut fees to broadcast
pamphlets for us; we have no plumbers with promise of juicy eon
tracts, nor real estuters blinded by their desire to unload unsalable
property. AVe do not have to stoop to distortion of fact or falsehood
but we are going to demand a showdown fight, without any quar
ter asked or given. ''
In the preliminary skirmish we are going to undertake to un-'
mask the individuals who arc hiding behind this "RETTEIt SITE
COMMITTEE." Come out into the open, gentlemen, so every voter
in the city of Medford can take a squint at you. AVe know who you'
are but -lot's of our people do not. Let the voters have a chance
to look you. oyer, sj'ze you up and analyze your motives. Do it fts
gracefully a.4 you can, but do it. Quit shoving your women and
children into the front lines. To break cover may hurt your' Bear
Creek pride, but it will recover you from the contemptible and
suspicious position in which you now find yourselves.
