CENTRAL PT. BANK
TO LIQUIDATE AND
CEASE OPERATION
Th doors of the Central Point State
bank were closed to business this
morning as a result of the meeting
last night of the board of directors,
at which it was decided to discontinue
business and turn the affairs of the
bank over to the state superintendent
of banks for liquidation.
The decision followed the annual
meeting, at which T. P. Tollefson was
re-elected pr widen t and all other old
officers re-elected to carry on. A
complete survey of the bank's busi
ness brought realization of the ne
cessity to discontinue.
In the statement issued by the
board of directors to the depositors.
It was explained that Central Point
Is situated so close to Medford and
means of transportation be ewe en the
two are so convenient, the volume of
iiia'.v. transacted by the bank has
constantly decreased and has reached
the point where the income of the
bank Is not sufficient to pay the costs
of operation.
The board of directors further stated
that the bank Is In sound financial
condition, but It is impossible to col
lect a great bulk of its loans at the
present time, even though the large
portion of such loans are well se
cured by mortgages on real property
end other securities.
"The directors considered that It
would be to the best interests of the
depositors to let the bank be liqui
dated by the superintendent of banks,
and thereby Insure that each depositor
receive his proportional part of bis
money at the earliest possible time.
In all probability, as soon as the as
sets of the bank can be disposed of,
the depositors will receive all, or prac
tically all, of their money," the state
ment of the board announces.
The directors of the ban): are ail
very well known property owners of
the Central Point region: Wm. Boh
nert, Elmer Hull, W. C. Leever and
W. J. Freeman.
Each year. It was pointed out to
day in explanation of the need to dis
continue business of the bank, Med
ford has become the business center,
patronized by a larger number of
farmers and other residents of the
northern portion of the county. Con
struction of the Midway road a short
time ago brought Medford still nearer
to the agricultural area, neighboring
Central Point, and brought a greater
number of people here to do their
banking.
Producers have also been unable
to obtain sufficient funds from their
farm products to pay loans obtained
from the bank, which was dependent
for its support upon the agricultural
population.

QUASH
TO
DENIED BY JUDGE
(Continued from Page One)
the provisions ol the Corrupt Practice
Act, which permitted bringing Sheriff
Schermerhorn within "the Jurlndlc
tlon of the court," by Issuance of
alias citations. Attorney Neff con
tended that the law Intended there
should be & recount, but that the
general election laws were weak, and
allowed evasion of service, which th
Corrupt Practice corrected.
Judge Sklpworth rendered his rul
ing shortly before noon, an hour after
the arguments closed. Besides the
motion to quash, a demurrer to the
proceedings was quashed.
Law Not So Bad
The Corrupt Practice Act, under
which the recount la sought, Is not
as bad as It sounds. It Is the title of
a law, and does not mesn that any
body or official Is "corrupt." as busy
rumor hath It. The Corrupt Practice
Act also prohibits distributing hand
bills, or loafing around a polling
place on election day.
It la anticipated that there will be
severe', legal bridges to cross, before
the actual counting of the official
ballots starts. One point to be aired,
In all probability, will be the validity
of Jennings' "write-In" candidacy, on
the grounds he was & primary defeat
ed candidate, and therefore not a
legal candidate. The right of a voter
to "wrlte-tn" any name he chooses,
the "marking of an X", and the In
tent of the voter will also be ad
vanced. Sheriff Schermerhorn on the face
of the official count was elected by
123 votes, and was Issued a certificate
of election. Jennings claims that 381
"write-In" votes for himself were
erroneously discarded by the election
boards of the county, because of tech
nical defects. He avers that It all
were counted he would have the elec
tion, "by not less than a majority of
97 votes."
The courtroom this morning was
well filled with spectators, and con
siderable Interest was manifested In
the actions by partisans of both
sides.
C. P. SUPERINTENDENT
AT
H. - P. Jewett, .superintendent of
schools at Central Point, was con
fined to hts home yesterday with a
badly skinned nose and forehead he
received in a fall at the Central
Point high school freshman bonflte.
Superintendent Jewett was taking
part In the annual festivities and
tripped on a board, causing him to
fall headlong Into a pile of wood and
old boxes. His Injuries, although not
believed serious, were painful and
will keep him confined to hla home
for several days. It was reported.
