Alburtus Mystifies
Crowds at Rialto
Call it what you will, call Albur
tus a humbug, a fakir, but you will
have to credit him with having
yome mysterious method by which
you havp to believe in him or you
don't, believe your own eyes or
give credit to your own senses .Sci
ence has long ago demonstrated
that menial telepathy and psychic
sciences are realities and the
world's greatest institutions of
learning are giving these sciences
considerable consideration right
along the same lines Alburtus an
nounces the method by which he
achieves such amazing resuits and
holds his audience spell-bound al
the Itialio every night where he is
filling a week's engagement.
Thursday evening at six-thirty,
starting from in front of the Itial
io theater and finishing at the
ha in e point. AlMit tus will give a
public demonstration In mental
telepathy, by having Mrs. Alburtus
blindfolded, drive a car thi rugh
the main parr of the city guided
by Alburtus from a car following
by mental suggestion. Tills se
vere test will be conducted by
committees in whose integrity the
public will have the utmost cuii
fidciice and as the experiment is
entirely free to the public a large
crowd will undoubtedly be on
hand.

for the college in the immediate
future- and also the early selection
of a new president for tht Il.-.e
lo succeed in-. ('. ', (ireene. who
has just been called to he president
of Parsons college at Fairfield.
Iowa, after five years of splendid
service at Albany.
Nearly '2 of tin- Albany college
students joined on Monday even
ing at their dinner tables, where
the synod was gathered, in giving
a fine program of stirring college
son-'is. Two of these college songs
were written, both words and mu
sic, by Victor Arenlel of linselmig.
who graduated in June Irom the
college. These tire entitled "Old
Albany" and "The Pirate Song."
Hi uce ('(tie spoke to the synod

lowing action was taken:
"Whereas, the wet forces
throughout the nation are puttinj;
forth every effort to nullify the
1 8th amendment and are .support
ing for the high office of president
or the I'nited Stales a man who Is
known to he a foe to '.prohibition,
ami whose oris and utterances as a
legislator and governor give every
indication that he 'will, if elected
president, interpret Ills oath as per
mit tt iug him to use Ins oft ice to
secure either I he repeal or the
practical modification of prohibi
tion: and
"Whereas, this situation consti
tutes the national election this fall
a referendum on prohibition and
also upon lite ri-iht of a president
to use his office to secure practical
nullification of Ibe constitution as
well as the right of a state to in
terpret a provision of the constitu
tion to suit itself; now, therefore,
he it
"Resolved, that the synod lav
forcefully upon its ministers and
churches the urgency and import
ance of taking a strong and ag
gressive stand upon this clearly
drawn and paramount issue in the
field ot Christian citizenship by 1 h
use of up-to-date information on
Ibe developing situation: by united
ly supporting candidates known to
be dry, and by co-operating with
the agencies working to this end.
We reaffirm our confidence In the

19 FOREST FIRES LOCAL
SET YESTERDAY; SUFFER FROM RAID
ALL CONTROLLED BY PETTY THIEVES
Nineteen forest fires within ;i
radius of a mile were started yes
terday afternoon In the Fvans
creek section, which it is thought
at the forest headquarters here,
were undoubtedly of incendiary
origin. Due to their prompt dis
covery and fast work by state
laud and volunteer fire fighters,
a phone message received late
this forenoon at the - forest head
quarters office in Medford, staled
that while there was much smoke,
in that section, so far as could
be learned there, these fires had
all been rounded up a ml were
under control.
These fires were in brush and
old t i m her, and so fa r as was
known here, tip to early this after
noun, no ranches had been burned
It will not be known just how
much damage was done until the
return of Slate Fire Warder,
I'hlpps from the scene.
It will be remembered that
about t wo years ago, t here was
a series of incendiary fires in the
Kvans creek district, started, it
was thought at that time, by per
sons who wanted jobs at fire-fighting-.
This motive, it was
t hough! today, lniuhl also have
been responsible for the I : fires
starieil yesterday afternoon A n
olher theory ventured is that they
were started by Incendiaries to
burn away brush to make way
(or berry bushes.
The lively fire situation started
in the Kvans Creek district early
yesterday afternoon, when a small
fire was discovered al Hybee
Springs at '2 o'clock, and an
other at Dixie (lulch at :(::::
o'clock. State Kire Warden Philips
and a crew of half a dozen fire
fighters then left to combat these
two fires.
Then at 4:31 p! m.. the lookout.

( me of the most peculiar auto
accidents that ever ha io tied in
Medford, both as to cause and as
to insurance adjustment on a dam
aged car bettm paid so soon after
the accident, occurred on Nort h
Oakdale avenue near West Main
street this forenoon.
Mrs. Rertha Kinisey of Corvallis
was driving her Pont inc sedan
