L
ILL TALK HERE
" The citizens of Med ford and vicin
ity will have an opportunity to near
Monro L. Baker, who 1 tald to be
one of the most Interesting and dy
namic speakers on the Pacific coast.
Mr. Baker will be the ohlef speak
er at the prohibition rally which will
beheld In the Presbyterian church.
South Holly street, Mectford, Friday
evening. April 29th, at 8 o'clock. The
other Med ford churches are cooperat
ing to make this a real rally.
Mr. Baker, who Is an editor, trav
eler and lecturer, la deeply Interested
In two questions which are agitating
the minds of a great many citizens;
y 'iff
Wfc
w
M' If
AIoiuo L. Baker.
first, "Do the defects of prohibition
warrant and necessitate Its repeal
and the establishment of some other
system?" and second, "Should the
United States discard Its prohibition
amendment and in Its plaoe substi
tute some form of government con
trol of legalized liquor?!'. . To. both
of these questions the ever vocal
and Increasing vociferous "wets" de
clare a clamorous "yesl" The "drys,"
on the other hand, give the dispas
sionate reply, "Let us be on our guard
lest we Jump from the frying pan
Into the fire. Let us not change
until we know what we are changing
to and are assured that It la a change
for the better."
In order to evaluate this oft-mentioned
alternative to prohibition
government control of liquor Mr.
Baker made a trip through Canada
a few months ago and visited each
of the eight provinces of that do
minion having a control system. This
Journey took him from Victoria on
the extreme west, across the vast ex
panse of Canada to t Halifax on the
extreme east.
Mr. Baker thoroughly Investigated
the facts concerning "the liquor
boards," "government liquor stores,"
'beer parlors' and "taverns" of Can
ada. Also he investigated the actual
working out of the Canadian plan
as It relates to the Increase or de
crease of the amount of liquor con
sumed. Its benefits or injuries to the
average Canadian home and Its ef
fect of other lines of business. He
win answer the question, "Is govern
ment control a boon to Canada, or
do Its drawbacks more than offset Its
advantage?"
Bev. R. E. Close, superintendent nf
the Anti-Saloon league of Oregon,
will accompany Mr. Baker and will
deliver a short address dealing with
the campaign of the "drys" in de
fense of the state prohibition laws.
Mr. Close states that Alonzo L. Baker
Is In great demand by clubs and vari
ous other organizations, that citi
zens on both sides of the prohibition
question are anxious to hear this
gentleman and that the universal
testimony Is that they are all "highly
pleased with Mr. Baker's unbigoted
presentation of a very controversial
subject which gives food for thought
to those who differ with him in prin
ciple as well as to those who are
heartily In accord with him."
All are cordially Invited to hear
these speakers. There will be no ad
mission charge, but an offering for
the promotion of prohibition in Ore
gon will be taken. Children are wel
come but they should be aocompanled
by and sit with their parents.
No session of the grand Jury Is con
templated within the next month,
owing to the lack of sufficient Im
portant matters to Justify the expense
of the session. The circuit court is
watching Its budget with extreme
care and holding down the Judicial
costs as much as possible. The May
term of the circuit court is scheduled
to start the fourth Monday In May,
and at present no matter of Import
ance Is pending.
The district attorney's office re
ceives from three to ten complaints
dally from citizens demanding a
grand Jury probe. Most of the lot
are of a civil nature and concern
Saturday night dance fights, cow,
fence disputes, tampering with Irri
gation ditches and neighborhood
rumpuses. The district attorney's
office views these as an effort to
settle private differences at public
expense end matters that should be
adjudicated between the parties con
cerned. Troutdale Chas. E. Lambert open

Relief Important.
R. E. Bradbury, of the delegation

ployment committee, declared that
unemployment work was more Im
portant to the county than the con
struction of the 13 miles of Merrlll
Malln highway, whloh was let by
the commission several weeks ago, or
far more Important than the con
templated Klamath Falls-Lakevlew
oiling project. The former project
was let for about $100,000 while the
latter will be advertised, to cost
about $80,000.
"If the county doesn't care for
those roads and feels that way about
It. there are other places we can
spend the money where It will be
appreciated," Chairman Leslie Scott
told Bradbury.

MASSIE FLAYED
BY PROSECUTOR

(Continued from fa go One)
confessed participation, could be
considered only as it related to
Massle's mental state.
Relating to the defense contention
that Massle's mind went blank when
he confronted the native with a
pistol and heard him confess. Judge
Davis Instructed that if a plea of in
sanity had been Introduced, the
burden of proof was on the prosecu
tion to show the naval officer sane.
Unwritten Law "Out
The Jurist warned the 12 men
that "no man may take the law
Into bis own hands, and the alleged
fact that the deceased ravaged the
wife of one of the defendants can
not be considered."
To Justify a second degree mur
der verdict. Judge Davis ruled, the
Jury would have to conclude the
prosecution had proved the four
persons killed Kahahawal and that
they had Intended to kill him.
However, the Jurist said. It would
be unnecessary for the prosecution
to have proved premeditation If
it had shown the defendants entered
Into an agreement the reasonable
consequence of which was the slay
ing. Final Pleas fleard.
An Intense plea In support of
the Insanity defense of Lieutenant
Massle and In behalf of the unwrit
ten law, made by Clarence Darrow.
and a fiery demand by Public Prose
cutor John C. Kelley for conviction
of the quartet, preceded the in
structions. In concluding his argument Dar
row proclaimed his kindliness toward
all races and directed a special re
mark to the three Chinese on the
Jury.
With brevity and fire Kelley
whirled Into his argument.
"You have been presented with
a defense of sympathy, not of In
sanity," he said. "If you are going
to decide this case on passion, then
tell me and I'll be silent.
"I Intend to paint the other side
of the picture you have been shown,
and show you a vain, egotistical man
who has been the cause of trouble."
Officer Blamed.
Kelley then asserted that Massle
had taken his wife, against her de
sires, to the dance the night of the
attack, and that the naval officer
was responsible for it all.
"They sacrificed that girl," Kelley
shouted, pointing to Mrs. Massle,
"for his ego and made Roman
holiday for the crowd that disgraced
this court with applause last week."
Then he sjwerted Massle was "high"
the night of the dance. Massle had
testified to taking a bottle of liquor
to the party.
Again hinting disbelief In Mas
sle's admission that he held the
pistol which killed Kahahawal, Kel
ley aald:
He couldn't hide behind the
skirts of his mother-in-law, nor be
hind the two sailors who helped
him. . . . The best you can say
for him Is that he lied like a gen
tleman." Slaying Unjustified.
Striding up and down in front
of the Jury, his face red with passion.
Kelley asserted Massle's story did
not Justify the killing, "and that,
under the laws of the territory, la
murder."
"Is there to be one law for the
people here and one for the vis
itors?" he demanded. "If you' let
these people go they will make Mas- i
sle an admiral because he and Adml- J
ral Pratt (chief of naval opera- j
tlons) think alike. They both be-!
