rA'GE FIVE
RAID JAIL; TAKE
CROOKSTON, Minn., Oct. 23. AP)
Five audacious criminals raided the
city J ei It today and fled with a truck
load of plunder.
Arousing sleeping policemen to seal
fhetr eyes and mouths with adhesive
tap, th robbers carted away a ma
chine gun, police pistols and rifles,
600 rounds of ammunition, liquor,
$500 in cash and 20 slot machines
with their contents, estimated by au
thorities at about $500.
The bandits clouted James Duck
worth, night Jailer and watchman,
with a blackjack before taping htm
up and binding bis hands and feet
a few minutes later trussing up Iver
Porseth, jay Jailer, and his friend,
Clifford La rum. In s similar manner.
Seizing Duckworth's keys, three of
the Invaders lugged out the loot,
stowing It in a light delivery truck
where o.ie of the bandits sat behind
Vie wheel. Another waited In a se
dan nearby.
Before fleeing In the two vehicles,
the robbers shoved the two police
men and La rum Into a padded cell
and locked the door. They missed
one key always kept hidden on his
person And, aided by a woman In
mate, the three men later freed
themselves.
James E. Montague, former county
attorney here, said he believed the
gang made the raid primarily to get
t,h machine gun. The liquor and
slot machines had been confiscated
In raids throughout the county and
were held as evidence for forthcom
ing trials.
BRITON SEES NO
Experiencing a rough air trip from
Walla Walla, Wash., and catching the
Medford-bound trl-motor from Port
land by thirty seconds, Major Yeats
Brown . arrived In Medford Saturday
afternoon for his speaking engage
ment at the high school last night.
Alighting from the plane, he express
ed the belief that "everybody should
fly."
Major Teat -Brown has Just re
turned from, Russia, where he was
sent by a Liberal English newspape.
which favored bolshevism. He stated
that although conditions are terrible
In that country, he believes they will
become much worse. Several crop
failures and the inability of
the Russian peasants to master the
combines and tractors Imported from
America wore among the reasons giv
en by the famous writer and sports
man. " '' ---'-
Speaking further of his Russia vis
it, the major In the Indian army said
that he was only allowed to see cer
tain things In the country in spite
of the fact that he was representing
a paper in favor of their policies.
The English lecturer said he viait
ed this country seven yoara ago, but
despite the constant talk of depres
sion, it was hard for him to realize
there was any such upheaval here.
He said one seldom sees people here
who are not dressed In decent clothes,
and although He visited some of the
' poorer sections of New York, distress
was nothing like that found in Ber
lin. He told how many men on the
streets of Berlin did not have boots,
and their clothes were lh rags. When
one gives them a little sum, they run
to buy bred and coffee, he said. Ma
jor Yeats-Brown said conditions in
England were somewhat the same as
they were, with many people out of
employment.
Yesterday afternoon It seemed as
If every woman in Medford was wear
ing a corsage from the Monarch Seed
and Peed Store and according to Ray
mond Miksche there was a steady
stream of people going through the
new store at Sixth and Bartlett streets
all day yesterday.
The new home of the pioneer seed
company is modern In,every way. At
tractive displays are arranged so that
they may be easily seen, and custom
ers can be waited on quickly. Large
windows on two sides of the building
glre the store a real daylight ap
pearance .
Besides the free corsages to women
every adult visitor was presented with
s two-pound sack of Crown flour.

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 23. (API
After bearing testimony purporting
to show that heavwy deflation In the
market value of preferred shares of
the Central Public Service corpora
tlon during the present general eco
nomic crisis was in every way com
parable to the blows dealt In the
same period to values of other se
curities. State Public Utilities Com
missioner Charles M. Thomas today
concluded his extended hearing into
t,he financial relations of the Chi
cago Holding company and its Port
land child, the Pacifio Northwest
Publlo Service company.
Thomas said he would take the
case under advisement and would
set forth his findings at an early
date. In the midst of the hearing
he had already entered an Interlocu
tory order forbidding the local com
pany from continuing payment of
the servloe fee, amounting to 922,000
a month, imposed by the C P. S.
C. R. Young assistant manager of
the Russell Miller & Co. office .here,
said at today's hearing that the fact
that values of C. P. S. stock had col
lapsed was no proof of "fraud or
manipulation." Dividends on the
stock stopped some months . ago,
while Pepco stock (P. N. P. S.) con
tinued to meet its dividends. Several
million dollars' worth of the Pepco
stock was traded by Oregon invest
ors for O. P. 8. stock.
Commissioner Thomas made the
following observations on points he
said he regarded as substantially es
tablished: That during the stock selling
campaign of C. P. 8. purchasers were
given to understand that Albert E.
Pierce & Co., Chicago brokers, would
maintain a resale department and
would buy back Vie stock purchased
at the rice paid less $1.50 commis
sion. That the stock of the Seattle Oas
company was bought by a O. P. S.
subsidiary and sold to the P. N. P. 3.
company at (6,753,000 and that the
same stock now appears on the frisks
of the Seattle company at $459,000.
That about 7,000,000 of C. P. S.
stock was sold and converted in Ore
gon before June 25, 1030, the date
that It was qualified with the state
corporation commissioner and a per
mit issued.

"Observing this, and examining
the dominant elements of his party I
under the leadership of the vice
presidential candidate, we can only j
assume that this program is still in
abeyance, to be produced by them if j
they shall come into power,"
The president directed one main j
shaft of his attack upon a letter
he quoted as having been writ- J
ten by Roosevelt and containing ,
the statement that he believed
"in the Inherent right of every j
cltlren to employment at a liv
ing wage and pledse my support
to whatever measures I may
deem necessary for inaugurating
self-liquidating public works,
such as utilisation of our water
resources, flood control and land
reclamation, to provide employ
ment Jor all surplus labor at all
times."
Hope of Dole
There could be "only one con
clusion from this statement,"
the president asserted, terming
It "a hope held out to 10.000.000
men and women now unemploy
ed and suffering that they will
be. given Jobs by the govern
ment." An effort to furnish such a
number of men with government
work, he said, would cost be
tween J7 .000,000.000 and 913,
000,000,000 and would withdraw
so much money from industry as
to cause more unemployment.
"I ask you," he said, "whether
or not such frivolous promises
and dreams should be held out
to suffering and unemployed
people. Is this the new deal?"
The president likewise devoted a
considerable portion of his speech to
what he called "a misstatement of
facts" concerning the fiscal policy of
the government in reacent years.
Quoting Roosevelt as saying in his
recent Pittsburgh speech that the
administration had been "extrava
gant" In Its fiscal affairs and had
Increased the "routine" cost of gov
ernment by $ 1 ,000,000,000, between
1927 and 1031. the president asserted:
Truth Mussing Amazing
"The ordinary expenses of the fed
eral government except for relief
purposes have been reduced while
those of the government of New York
state jJave been Increased. Moreover,
there will be proof that the gov
ernor of New York, no doubt through
Ignorance of our fiscal system or
through misinformation supplied to
him, and totally ignoring the actions
of the Democratic house of repre
sentatives, has broadcast a misstate
ment of facts. In consequence, his
conclusions are amazingly removed
from the truth. So few of the state
ments made by the Democratic can
didate are In accordance with rec
ords of fact that it leaves me non
plussed where to begin."
He said If Roosevelt would

a thing that he may poeslbly
know already, that bla promised
saving of a billion dollars already
haa been accomplished, even
thoug.1 we are still struggling
with the expendlturea forced on
us by the Democratic house."
The president asserted Roosevelt.
In his statement that government
costs had Increased by ai.000.000.000
between 1037 and 1931, had failed to
mention that the Increases "were al
most wholly for relief of tha depres

"wanted to be fair." he would have
chosen for hta comparison of fiscal
totals not the year 1937, but 1029.

he ssld. "It will be due to the

Major Francis Yeats-Brown, author
and sportsman of international re
nown, carried hla audience last night
at the hlRh school auditorium, and
ba-k again to London "for a walk
at dawn with Mr. Gandhi."
Speaking under auspices of the
Rogue River Valley University club.
Major Yeats-Brown addressed a large
and appreciative audience, which de
mantled continuance of his lecture
with re pf a ted questions at the close.
'A few more exercises! More, more
of Yogi I" the voices Insisted. So the
major stood on his head and took
the posture of the Buddha, "with an
extreme sense of peace." before the
delightful evening drew to an end.
And. sneaking of Mr. Oandhl and
,hls walk with him at dawn, through
a slushy London in November, the
major of the British Indian army
said: "I have a great respect and
reverence for Gandhi, the man; but
I think he Is dangerous as a poli
tician. I have often sat up all night
to walk with him at 6 o'clock In
the morning. Sat on his doorstep
before sunrise waiting for htm to
come forth In loin cloth, ahawl and
sandals, regardless of the weather.
"It was on those walks I got his
sensitiveness to nature. His spirit
uality and the beauty of his mind."
Major Yeats-Brown then explained
that the independence and freedom,
which Gandhi Is a ."king for India, Is
not the freedom and Independence
recognized by Americans, but some
Viing spiritual. "He doesn't expect
to be without the British army," he
added.
Such is the general opinion In In
dia, today, he further explained. The
people realise the necessity for some
form of English control. As proof that
India can give "England, America, the
world, much." Major Yeats-Brown
listed the mathematicians, the artists.
the poet, Tagore, and he knows the
latter well. "In all the abstract ad
