(I') The task of placing responsibility for the wreck of the Stales Line Kteanshlp Laurel, which broke amidships on Peacock Spit oft' the Columbia river last Sunday during a raging gale, rested with two fed eral Hteamhoat inspectors tonight alter a day of investigation. Captain Louis Johnson, maslet of the shattered craft, and other of ficers and crew, went through a rigid examination today, but their testimony, according to the inspec tors, failed to develop an explana tion of the wreck. As Captain Johnson, last on. the stand, concluded his testimony. Captain Frank X.

City Gives Views on Court--, house Location, and Ex plains Own Position In Statement Explains Re mark About 'Bums'. Mayor A. W. Pipes yesterday Is sued the following statement anent the selection of a site (or (he new court house, and why ho favors the it y park Kite. The statement in: "The subject of a court house it for Jackson county is now occupy ing a prominent phice In the mind of the people of Medford, whose business It is to furnish a perma nent site, free of cost to the other residents and taxpayers outside the city of Medford. This Is in har mony with an agreement entered into between the city of Medford and the rest of the people of the county, and this agreement must be lived up to. As citizens of Med ford, we recognize our duty, and we will keep faith in the fulfill ment of this obligation. I'nder this' agreement, and In duty of the county court to make the selection. should the selec tion made by them appear unsatis factory to even a small number of registered voters, they are entitled to their relief under the referen dum and the law makes It manda tory upon the county court to call a hearliiK of the people after they have made their selection of a site, for the sole purpose of ;de- , turminlntf whether or not any . group of .voters desire to protest and to present other sites. If other sites are presented, the selection of a site then sues to a vote of the people.. . j Knowln thut the funds for the bulldlnn of the .court house have already been provided and that the city of Medford would soon be call ed upon' to.' submit aites to. the county' court, I proceeded in a q u lot way two or three months ago to secure data on various site which have been put forward 'or. aupKested at sundry times, and iwhen 1 nad completed thin tak, i,n i ne am ok our euy superin tendent, we prepared a chart shuw I Ins fix altes In different parts of .the city, and I then presented the , ,,, tl . ... i J , - Tu, coun,cil for tneir approval, Thin was done In ex ecutive ficKftloii of the council on June 7th, followinK a apeclal meet-Iiik- Hlx memhera of the council were present In thia executive sea slon and the nix altes were freely dlKcuNHed, and on motion of one i of the councilman, which was duly Hcconded, it was decided by a vote of thrto to one to submit the six site to the county court for their consideration. Two of the nix councilman who were present dur Iiik most of the discussion left the chamhurs before the vote was taken. My poiltlon in the matter at all times has been to fulfill the ctty'a part of the aKteement entered Into at the time, of the removal of the county seat. At that time some of the members of the city council and the county court under for mur ad mitt 1st rat Ions viewed some of the sites now under discussion, including the city park and the Washington school, und in view of the fact thut I have been misin terpreted and misunderstood, I want to make my position cleat to the public. The city park site has been at tacked on the ground that the erec tion of a court house In the park, would destroy Its recreational 1 fen lures, render It useless for out , doors KatherliiKs, and take awuy from the people their down town ; -u". Nothing could he I more erronooun or Incorrect than , uch HtutetnentK a these, and no I man In Medford would do more to resist dent rue Ive encroachments u"" u"r "lttrl ,han I: anrt no m?n nuum uu in it it io prt-'serve us recreational value to the people of Medford. That Is why I made the statement that the bums are en I'lnitchinK tipon the park to the detriment of our own citizens, , for many times during the summer . months there can be seen loung- Iiik about the park from two or three to half a dozen or more totiiih looking strangers with . a newspaper, for a pillow, veritably making a ' hobo bedroom of our park. If a court house should I adorn this site there would Imme diately bo created a better atmos phere in the entire park area, and not a hobo would be seen any when near, for a court house is not the kind of scenery they enjoy. Complaints about the hoboes in (h(. pnrk rvme my offU,e frt. (l(,ntly .Women and ehildi en pass- Inn through the park are some- j times annoyed by their hrazen and , impudent manner. This menace fi,( the court house, and our on iteonte would be encouraged I ( tn k y ore
