O or FLYING the LockheedTcga monoplane " ankec Doodle," using Richfield Aviation Gasoline, Captain C. B. D. Collyer, round the world record holder, established a new cast to west transcontinental non stop record shattering the Army record that has stood since 1923. Captain Collyer, accompanied by Harry Tucker, owner of the ply, took off from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, at p. m, Wednesday and landed at Mines Field, Los Angeles, at 2:08 p. m. Thursday com pleting the third successful transcontinental flight in the history of avi ation, after 24 hours and 51 minutes in the air. Collycr's feat follows a series of record-breaking flights made by Art Goebcl in the same plane, including the spectacular flight from Los An geles to New York last August in which he established the present Coast to Coast record of 18 hours and 58 minutes and the recent Los Angeles to Cincinnati non-stop flight. ' Richfield gasoli.ic was used in all three of these flights the same famous gasoline that captured four of the six major, events in the National Air Derby, the fuel used by Captain Wilkins on his record-breaking dash over the North Pole the fuel that has won more victories and world's ... records than all other gasolines combined. , - adorn Fra&'m Cmmtii oo o "Know Tour Onions" will bo the ploy nt the now Playhouse, start ing Thursday nlcht.

Cal culated 'Distortion," they make several explanations and we will Uxke icm up in their ortlet. 1. Heplying to the first aliened fact. Judge. Thomas j states that Judge Leavitt of KK)math County was called in because of an affidavit of prejudice, filed by K. K. Kelly. The record shows tht this was a case in which S. S. Hull is was one f the parlies, and that Judge Thomas had, for n number of years, been attorney for Hullis, nl therefore should have been disqualified without the necessity of any affidavit, as i would havbeen manifestly improper for i judge to sit in Sic case of one of his clients. TL record shows that Jtidgo heavitt was called in on four other occasions WHEN Til EH K' WERE NO AEI'T DY1TS FILED. 0 2.JIT)GE EVANS OP PORTLAND. irB was not brought here on account of any affidavit of prejudice. Tn , January, 10'2G, there was a lawsuit pending betweeiPtwn factions of an Ashland church. It looked like it might do Judge Thomas some harm politically, and he got Judge. Kvns to come down; wl'ii he' opemsjl tho case ho ex plained to the court room full of these church people, that he had wanted to try the cflfce; but that a newspaper re- . porter, commenting of? someo ruling that ho had mad, in the case, had written it as though Judge Thomas igight have nn opininP, and ho was afraid somebody might Sus- pieion him of leaning towards one side or the other; hence he called in Judge Evans. lie said thaPhe could do 0110 of two things first, opunish the reporter r contempt (which had not been committe?!), or second, mako the state the great expense of calling in ft judge from Portland, which he had done rather than to have them think Hint he was biased. In the middle ofhis talk he demanded that defendant, Dr. Sweeney, plead guilty or not guilty. . lie was told by Sweeney's attorneys, of whom George Roberts was one, that they had had an understanding with him that he would call in another judge to try the Swee ney ease. Notwithstanding that Sweeney was- pleading for an impartial judge, and notwithstanding that Judge, Thomas was getting out of the church' case because he wanted to appear fair, ho denied Sweeney's application for a change 6' judges, although his ill will towards Swee ney dated from n previous warm campaign nnd other po litical matters. . Hot 1 ho contestants in the church ease settled their differences in court in a remarkably kindly, pood naliired way, which ended up with devotional oerv ijs in the court room. Duo to the good offices of Judgo Kvnns, the bitterness, if any did exist, faded away. Con sidering Judge Thomas' concern for his political future) how he must lvc regretted that he did not continue with the church-cr.hr. Judge Evans was hero other times: The Chief Justice, would not have Rent Judge Thomas to Port-, land if he had had anything to do here. It is a ruin of tho Supreme Court not to tako a judge from his own()-ork.. Some of the political judges like tn bo sent nwny from home and have others tako their places. 3. gjiis is the same Sweeney case. ' ' . Judge Tliomns in his explanation gives tho impres sion tljjt A. E. Kennies inndc nn nffidavit of prejudice against Judge Thomas, nnd Hint this resulted in a new judge. This is not true On January 1!), lOL'ti, the day mentioned of the meeting of tho church people in court, George Roberts and A. E. Rennies, representing Sweeney, filed Sweeney's nffidavit, but only nfter endeavoring for two hours to persuade Judge Thomas that ho should not sit in judgment agaiiQ, one who believed would bo fair to him. Judge Thomas on that day that tho affidavit, was filed, denied Sweeney's motion for another judge, Afterwards Judge Thomas, iu order to get rid of a politi cal hituntion, disqualified himself to try Sweeney, nnd hnd the Chief Justice name nnnther judge. The Chief Justice ' named Judge McMahnn of Snlem. Judgo Thomas tclc- o 00 phoned the Chief Justice at Salem that an affidavit of pi'cjiPlico had been filed against McMnhan. This was not trtie. 0 None htfd been l ited. The telephone caused the Chief Justice to believe that the defendant, Sweeney, had objected to Judge MoMahan and that caused the Chief o Justice to appoint. Judge liggley, whom Judge Thomas named in this explanation of his. Four days after Judge McMahan was filed. It was filet out of the Pistrict Attor ney's office and contained the statement that McMaha was q prejudiced against the State nf Oregon. We charge that this was inspired b.f Judge Thomas. Subsequently, Judge Thomas puf?an order oil the Journal dismissing tho in dictmentsiigai)st Sweeney. He knW the ewe was out of his hands and that the order ws ineffective, and would leave Dr. Sweeney forever under indictment. As Judgo 0 Thoiftas was not Retting any place with his prosecution of Sweeney, and nn prosecution could be forced nter Judge Thomas had entered the void order, Judge Hagley dis missed the case. . .0 4. These so-cylled facts furnished by Judge Thomns contain the following: "lie (Judge Hamilton) has never presided in Hun district sinc$ Judge Thomas was elected, although Judge Thomas has held court at Rosehurg." This statement os urjtnt and Judge Thomas must , know, that he is mistakoji in the statement, because of tho oofolloving facts: July 30, lOL'ti, Porter Ncff, attorney for plaintiff, and ndvocale of Judge Thomas, filcda ease en titled "Medford Irrigation District vs. Rogue River Valley Canal Company, ct al," being Circuit Court file No. 3:I8G-K. He obtained nn order on that day from judge Thomas setting a hearing for Augus-I. Having signctrtho order, Judge Thomas telephoned to Salem and had the Supreme Court send Judgo Hamilton to try that case on August 1, and then Judgo Thomas left. Judge Hamilton did so try the ense in open court at Jacksonville. Fred N. Cumniigs, water master, was'not only a (ftfendant, but was a wit ness. Please telcphono him and ask him whether Judgo Hamilton sat in that enso athnt time. ( 5. : His fifth explanation is that A. E. Rcamcs filed an affidavit of prejudiciPngninst Judge Thomas in Torrey vs. Daniels, Unfortunately, this gives tho wrong impression. , The affidavit was that of Mr. Daniels. The statement also gives tho impression that that affidavit was what caused Judge Corking to bo here, lie tried numerous cases while here, nnd ho wnsTerc numerous other times when no nffi- e davits were filed against Thomas, and whciPThomas was not sick. , G. His explanation is that Judge Skipworth was 0 called in to try Newton C. Chancy. In his published state ment wherein he attacked Mrs. Grieve, forewoman of tho grand jury, Judge Thomas stated the following concern ing the nine questions asked him: cxnmincd it nnd found it to be a scries of questions, which, if answered by tho conrt, would undoubtedly ereato the impression that lOas not impartial in thenvestigation then un(f?r wny'' If ho was impartial, why could he not have tried the Chancy easel Chancy didn't object; Chaney filed no af fidavit of prejudice against him. Bert Anderson didn't object. Wl.o did object? QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED Now would tho so-called Republican Central Com mittee, that got its information from Judge Thomas, an ' swer the following questions! 1. Was it nny distortion of tho fact to any Hint 11 Qndges from' various parts of the stnto havo presided in Judgo Thomas' court on 24 different .occasions?'. 2. AVas it any distortion of tho fact to' say that tho mileage and expenses of these judges was paid by tho tax payers? "' ' ; 3. Was it nny distortion of the fact to say that durr. ing the 3(i preceding years prior to the incumbency of Thomas that only four judges were called into this dis trict to do tho work of the presiding judge? Comparing the records for tho preceding 36 years with its cnll of four outside judges, ngninst tho six-yenr record of Judgo Thomas, with II outsido judges, wo ask you wiieiiir tho statement that Judgo Thomas is nn ex pensive luxury on the basis of this record, is a distortion or not.
