SAY ENGLEHARDT
FOSTERS RECALL
APPLEGATE AREA
Petitions circulated la the Apple
gate district the past week seeking
the recall of Circuit, Judge H. D.
Norton were In the hands of Prof. C.
Englehardt, well-known resident of
the Eagle Point district, who was a
defendant in an assault case In cir
cuit court last spring, In which a
Jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Prof. Englehardt was fined $250 and
coats by Judge Norton. A nephew
of Englehardt's Carl Stedter was
paroled from a sentence of 30 days
In the county Jail In the same cose.
The Information was received from
highly reliable sources and pioneer
residents of the Applegate, many of
whom have known Judge Norton for
years.
The recall plot has met with a
chilly reception In the Applegate dis
trict, stores and service stations re
fusing to allow the leaving of fie
petitions in their places, It Is re
ported. In the Rogue River d istrlc t one'
petition open to public inspection
now has 35 names. Two weeks ago
It contained 39 names. A report said
"the petition that went up Evans
creek is full of names." -
Complaint has been filed by sev
eral Rogue River residents objecting
to their district being referred to as
"a hotbed of recall sentiment." They
hold that the majority are vigor
ously opposed to the recall scheme
and blame the agitation on "dis
gruntled litigants."
Known circulators of the recall pe
titions are Mr. and Mrs. Adah Dea
kln of Ashland and a Mrs. Crowe.
Mrs. Deakln lw vek claimed 93
names on the recall petition. When
she first started, she informed the
Ashland Tidings, she was receiving
10 cents per name, and also told
other parties before witnesses.
The recall petitions have been In
circulation for six weeks or more
but the fatherhood of the movement
Is still a mystery. One advocate at
tributed the recall to "spontaneous
combustion." Another said : "It
makes no difference who started the
recall it's started."

ADDED TIE ON
LOANJAYMENTS
Government Will Ask Only
25 Per Cent of Amount
Due, Account Continued
Low Prices tor Products
WASHINGTON, Sept. 38. (AP)
It was announced at the White House
today that farmers owing crop pro
duction loans to the government
would be asked to pay only 25 per
cent of the amount due, with an
agreement to secure the remaining
75 per cent on whatever terms con
gress may authorize.
Present low prices on farm producta,
the statement said, would make it
"practically impossible for wheat
farmers to repay their crop produc
tion loans without Incurring grave
risk of need during the winter."
On September 14, Secretary Hyde
said he had been authorized by the
president to say the agriculture de
partment would not press for collec
tion of Its feed and seed loans until
congress had an opportunity to act.
The White House statement today
said this order had not solved the
difficulties In all localities, since It
had been construed as meaning that
a claim remained upon the crop, pre
venting the marketing of any part
of it.
After further consultation with the
president the statement added. Sec
retary Hyde has Issued a new order
to accept from farmers 35 per cent
of the amount due, and upon receiv
ing such payments to press for no
further money from the farmers In
volved until congress has acted.
ORDINANCE GIVEN
Mayor Wilson today released the
following signed statement giving his
views on the much discussed city
milk ordinance:
To the People of Medford:
"To know real sentiment on our
milk ordinance the question should
be submitted to the people. .This
would also eliminate all future con
troversy on this subject.
My views regarding milk regulation
can be very briefly elated, as follows:
Milk Is an important diet for chil
dren, hospitals and the public gen
erally, and all users are entitled to
know the purity of what they con
sume. Being easily contaminated,
the conditions under which milk Is
produced snd carried to the consum
er are of particular Interest whether
under negulatlons or not. Without
regulation the producer is his own
Judge of cleanliness and this Judg
ment varies to a wide degree aa evi
denced particularly by sediment tests
in the early stage of our present
regulatory ordinance and which are
of record. Without regulation the
consumer hss no certified means of
knowing the quality and purity of
the product he conaumes. Our regu
lation does not prohibit any producer
from disposing of his product direct
to any consumer but It does provide
that the quality of such product
shall be stated that the consumer
may be fully advlxed. The "A" on a
bottle of milk Indicates purity from
diseased cows, purity from dirt and
bacteria, and that the product has
been produced under the very best
sanitary conditions recommended by
our national government.
Our milk regulatory measure Is not
of local origin but national, and Is
of national health Importance, hav
ing been studied by our national gov
ernment for a period of about two
years before being first adopted In
Alabama. It has since been adopted
by twenty-six of our states and to
over five hundred cities of a total
of over 7,500,000 population. This
regulatory measure haa never been
repealed by any municipality, and I
do not believe the consumers of Med
ford will ever consent to repeal. If
they should so express themselves,
the city council would gladly give
them any change or adjustment to
meet the public demand.
There may be differences arise be
tween the producer and distributor
which Is a question to be settled by
and between themselves and has
nothing to do with determining the
quality of milk being served to the
public.' Neither does the ordinance
have anything to do with determin
ing prices. Prior to the ordinance
milk, sold at 12 cents per quart and
was reduced to 10 cents In August
1930 and has so remained.
On the subject of economy the
people are particularly interested and
the record of the city council during
the past two years explains Itself In
that disbursements have been ap
proximately $38,000 less than budget

REVOLT AGAINST
E FLARES
Bands of Chinese Railway
Guards in Rebellion
Spread Terror Japanese
Consul Telegraphs for Aid
TOKYO, Sept. 28. ( AP ) Fear that
a serious revolt against the new state
of Manchhukuo had broken out In
western Hellungklang province In
Manchuria worried Japanese govern
ment officials today.
Communications with the western
part of the huge northern province
appemvd to have broken down com
pletely, it was said, after the Japanese
consul telegraphed Tsltslhar, asking
for help.
The consul said bands of Chinese
railway guards had risen In rebellion
and that a Japanese airplane which
was sent out on a scouting expedition
west of Tsltslhar failed to return.
Hope Residents Safe.
The foreign office expressed the
hope that Japanese consular repre
sentatives and residents of the sec
tion had taken refuge In Russian
territory since the soviet government
had agreed to afford them protection
In the event of trouble.
Officials said they were fearful,
however, that a small group of Jap
anese "on special military duty" In
the territory might have been killed.
News of the revolt did not come
as a complete surprise, they said, be
cause General Su Ping-Wen, formerly
a subordinate of General Mah Chan
Shan, is commander of the Chinese
Eastern railway guard garrison at
Hallar, which has charge of the terri
tory west of the Klnghan mountains
and he never actually was brought
Into the Manchukuo fold,' although he
accepted nominally the Changchun
regime. - .

A circuit court Jury late yesterday

for Pearl Wilson and her hus
band In her suit against the
Rogue River company. The Jury,
of which Oscar Laws was foreman,
started deliberations at three o'clock,

o'clock. The Wilsons sought $20,000
alleged damages. Attorney George M.
Roberts said today an appeal to the
state supreme court would be taken
by the defense. The trial of the case
lasted five days.
The action grew out of the sale of
land In the Ashland district, near
Fern Valley. The Wilsons purchased
the tract for $11,000, with a down
payment of $6000 In 1928. The suit
grew out of the discovery In the title
that the mineral rights to the land
were vested In L. Nledrmeyer and
others, who asserted ly intended to
develop It as a coal or oil property.
The suit alleged that the Rogue River
company was unable to deliver a clear

His own statement to police, in which
they quoted him as believing he un
wittingly placed the suitcase bomb
which exploded during the San Fran
cisco preparedness day parade, July
22, 1916, killed 10 persons, Injured
42 others and sent Tom Mooney and
Warren K. Billings to prison for life,
resulted In Paul M. Callicotte. 32,
well-known Portland mountalnerr,
being held here without bail today
as a fugitive from San Francisco.
Detectives Indicated they were not
Inclined to give full credence to his
statement. In which they quoted him
as saying he had attempted unsuc
cessfully to sell the story two years
ago. under & fictitious name, to an
eastern magazine. They were making
a full Investigation today, however,
and announced all Information would
be turned over to San Francisco
authorities.
Su It case Left on Curb.
Callicotte stated, police said, that
he took the suitcase from a man In
front of the I. W. W. hall in Oakland,
delivered It to a man In San Fran
cisco, then at the latter's request
set It on the curb at the comer of
Steuart and Market streets.
He returned to the Ferry building,
and shortly after heard a "loud noise
which sounded like an automobile
backfire or the slamming of a steel
door," his statement as given out by
police read, but he did not connect
the noise with the suitcase until he
read that night In Oakland of ths

this to a magazine. It was returned
as "unavailable," police said he stated
to them.
Callicotte said he was accosted by
the Oakland man the day before ths
parade and accepted the offer to
make $5 by delivering ths suitcase.
He met the man the following day
In front of the I. W. W. hall, took

WILL-
ROGER?
BEVERLY HILLS, Cui., Sept.
27. Politics pretty quiet over
the week-end. Democrats are
attacking and the Republicans
are defending. All the Demo
crats have to do is promise
"what they would do if they
got in," but the Republicans
have to promise "what they
would do" and then explain
why they haven't already
"done it."
I do honestly believe the Re
publicans have reformed and
want to do better, but whether
they have done it in time to
win the elcctiuu is another
thing. The old voter is getting
so he wants to be saved before
October every election year.
Yours,
