Minutes. !
CHICAGO, May 21. WP) What
man has done, man can do with
the probability that woman can do
it even better.
Mrs. Myrtle IDuldleston of Mat
toon, III., was taken from the pool
of the Lincoln Park West hotel
early today after beiriK in the water
50 hours, 1 0 minutes 1 5 4-5 sec
onds. The time beatH by 17 hours
and 20 minutes the best previous
endurance record for women, made
Saturday by Miss Nyle Austin of
San Iternardino, Calif. It heats by
four hours and 10 minutes tlie best
previous reyord of man, held In
Germany by Otto Kemmerlch.
Mrs. Huddleston, a 30-year-old
mother, is no novice to the water.
She formerly held the world's en
durance swimml'i record for
women, besides being the only
woman to finish tlie Catallna chan
nel race.
Mrs. Huddleston, who weighs
240 pounds, was not put on the
scales when taken from the tank,
but tho 1 2 swimming coaches of
Chicago athletic associations, who
acted as officials during the en
durance nt tempt, estimated that
she had lost 20 or more pounds.
When she finished the Catalina
channel swim she came out of the
water 18 pounds lighter.
Physicians immediately took the
swimmer in charge. She was tin
able to draw herself from the
water, nor was she able to remain
on her feet. A wheel chair was
taken to the side of the ivo and
Mrs. Huddleston wheeled to her
room.
Only three times during the 50
hours did she take nourishment
and only hot chocolate then. She
finished the swim much fatigued.
Her hands and feet were shrunken
from the long Immersion. During
1 he entire time she was in the
water a group of officials was pres
ent 'to sec that she did not touch
either the sides of the tank nor
the bottom.
f Mrs. Hudd lest on's reward for
record-breaking was $5,0it0 offered
Ity tho 1 Winner man Hotels. Ine.,
1,000 was offered for breaking the
women's record, with li.ooo addi

the men's mark.

Pert W. Srnlih, between 2t mid 30
years of age, ,is today being sought
following the finding yesterday of
the body of his mother, Katherine
P. Smith, about 55 years of age. in
their home in that part of the resi
dential district known as "old
town."
Mrs. Smith was shot through the
forehead ami from Indications had
apparently been 111 before the crime)
was com mil ted. The last time
Smith was seen here, an far as of
fici rs can learn, was on March -((.
The coroner believes that Mrs.
Smith has been dead nearly three
mont hs.
The house is in a sparsely popu
lated part of town and the dis
covery of the body was due to the
efforts of a friend of Mrs. Smith,
from Pondosa, Ore., to call on her
Saturday.
, The man. Thomas Doyle, went to
the house Saturday and found "no
one at home." He had visited the
place about a month ago and be
cme suspicious after his second
visit. Sunday, in company with
Fred Gray of LaGrande, he return
ed to the house and opened the
front door. A strong odor assailed
their nostrils. Going upstairs, they
found n note on the bedroom door,
which was nailed shut, liecoming
alarmed, they called Deputy Sher
iff Hugo Kilnghamnier, who open
ed the door and found the body on
the bed. The note, which wan cir
cled with chalkmarks, was unsign
ed. It read:

Henry Filer, loader, who left

were those of tho day shift men.'
I le said the rescuers must fight j
their way 4000 feet further back
before they will reach number
nine, north, where the entire night

C. E. Gates, Back From

The recent local imitation for the
establishment of n new Pacific
highway route from tho foot of
Itlaekwell hill back of Central
Point. throiiKll tho (lore land to
the Mcdford-Jncksonviltc road, and
the finlit brewing over this propo

dates, resident member of the com
mission, who rcutrned Kuturdny
noon to Medford nftcr a month's
absence.
The Pacific highway will con
tinue for years to come to follow
its present route through Medford.
the propiwed' new route is Imprac
tical and Infeasible for various
reasons, and furthermore, the state
highway commission never planned
to parallel the present Pacific
hlKhway from Itlaekwell hill to the
Owen-Orcuon mill, according to
Mr. dates, who says the commis
sion merely contemplated in fu
ture years to get a new rlt;ht of
way from Central Point to the
Owen-Oregon mill, to do nway
with tho turns and curves between
those two points, lteforo lenvlng
on his trip east, Mr. Oates told
one or two persons who suggested
tho new highway route to bring
nil travel through 'on Main street,
through the business section, ns
utterly Imprnctlcuble and Impos
sible. .
First of all, In discussing this
subject, the local state hlghwny
commlssloner today called atten
tion to the fact that the commis
sion will not consider any new
highway project until the fate of
the $3 automobile Ilaense Mil Is
known.
He points out that now Is the
very worst time to agitate for a
proposed chungo In the highway
route, and says that Medford has
attained considerable fame In high
way circles as possessing tho best
straight main highway route
through the city of nny place In
tlie country.
"The policy Is everywhere to
rush the auto tourist traffic past
towns as fast nit possible," anld Mr.
Hates. "The tourists want It that
way they want to go ahead and
keep on going toward their dessl
nntiom, as fast as possible, and de
sire to visit tho average city or

enough to buy necessities,
"That Is why the Mate hlqhwny

- ASKS FOR
NEW BILL
President Requests McNary
Haugen, et al, to Get New
Farm Aid Bill Without the
Equalization Fee, Or He
Will Have to Veto One
Before Him.
WASHIXOTON, May '21. IA
An early veto of the McXary-Ilau-gen
farm relief bill by President
Conlldge waa Indicated today after
tho president had conferred with
Senntor MrXary, republican. Ore
gon, and Representative Hansen,
republican, lown, authors of the
measure.
Neither the senntor nor the rep
resentative would divulge directly
the trend of their conversation with
tho president. Asked polntblank
about the outlook for tho bill, Mc
Nary said:
"It looks like rain. The weather
man says the forecast la not good."
Mr.' Coolidge Is believed to have
called the congressional farm lead
ers In a conference with a view to
asking them to seek to put through'
a farm bill which would not pro
vide for the controversial equaliza
tion fee. ,
The equalization fee provision of
the McNary-Haugen measure Is the
stumbling block In the path of the
legislation. Attorney-General Sar
gent a year ago declared it un
constitutional and the president
hns stood on that ruling.
With n view to obtaining con
sideration hy congress of a farm
relief bill, tt Is expected the presi
dent will send his veto of the Me-Nary-Hnugen
legislation to the Cap
itol late today or within a few days..
Senator llrookhart told the presi
dent that the dispute between con-
JQ&ftMft !'0 executive' regai'diii!t.
fui hi relief. lenb?.ttion revolved
around the question of the con-,
stltutlonallty of the fee.
Unwilling to ntinilt defeat. Sena
tor McNary and Representative .
Maugen would announce no plnns
today in the event nf a veto. There
were Indications that the senator,'
might ask to have the bill referred
hack to tho agrtcuUure committee
w-tth a view to having It decide on "
whether to seek legislation Willi- ,
out the equalisation fee.
Tho appnrent determination, of
