At the start of the meeting Attor ney E. E. Kelly announced that ne would reply to the 13 demands of L. A. Banks. The mild heckling came Just before the answering started. Up to this point the audience was good-natured, and frequent laugh ter greeted the comments of the 'speakers. The meeting closed with the adop tion of a short resolution, by a stand ing vote, pledging support to "the duly elected and appointed officers of the county," .All hut approxi mately 300 arose. A collection was started, to cover ' expenses of the meeting, but most of thosa present, tired with nearly three hours M talk ing, started to leave. Many, how ever, came forward and ,gave dona tions. Speeches Reported. W. J. Looker took a stenographic report In detail of all speeches, sched uled and Impromptu. Nell Allen of Or ants pass, a Le gionnaire and head of the Southern Oregon Bar association, in his re marks "regretted the conditions here" and said, "In Josephine county we often hear the remark, 'I'm glad we haven't such an uproar, and 'I wouldn't want to live In Jackson county now'." Raymond Reter, president of the Rogue River Traffic association, told of the organization's relations with Banks, and described htm as ' no torious non-cooperator." Reter said, "With the disturbed conditions now prevailing, It will be a problem where money will be procured to finance the fruit crop. Nobody cares to lend money under the present conditions. We will have to do the best we can and find a way." CMo League Head Talks. Rev. L. A. Oldenburg, secretary of the Jackson County Clvlo league, In a short address, gave assurances that the organization would stand back of any move for the return of har mony. Attorney Ous Newbury, called from the rear of the hall to the platform, made a speech and told a story. He praised the law-enfomtng agencies of Jackson county. Cheers and applause greeted his observation that "Earl H. Pehl will not make a half-bad county Judge If h. A. Banks will leave him alone." The speaker told .how Banks, follow ing an action In which he represent ed him, had complimented Judge H. D. Norton as an able and consci entious Jurist. Attorney Newbury reviewed the history of "affidavits of prejudice," filed through Attorney M. O, Wllklns, describing the preju dicing of Judge James T. Brand of Coos county In the receivership suit now pending. The speaker declared, "affidavits of prejudice Just roll out of them." Attorney M. O. Wllklns, occuplng a seat In the gallery, was an interested, and sometimes amused, spectator. Roberts Holds Hope Attorney George M. Roberts, In a rousing address, deplored the aha- otlo local condition and ventured the opinion that the level-headedness of the people of Jackson county will prevail, and "old time harmony re turn, when all can live free of the constant agitation that has beset us the past two years." The loudest ap- k v ' ( J Mrs. Frances Schlldhauer, widow of Edwin Schlldhauer, elain Chi cago band master, waa questioned by police In connection with his death. She said she had no know ledge of who killed her husband, (Associated Press Photo) plause of the evening greeted Attor ney Roberts. H. D. (Johnny) Reed, Justice of the peace at Gold Hill, described In detail the "P. A. Bates case." He was the committing magistrate and declared that every consideration .had been shown the aged miner, whom he described as "a trouble maker." He said he knew the Foots Creek people and had endeavored to settle their disputes In a neighborly fashion. Jus tice Reed stressed the fact Bates was "not banished, as claimed by Banks, but went to Linn county after a stipulation to do so had been en tered Into between Attorney Wllklns and the district attorney's office." Many facts not heretofore generally known to the public were brought out. Demands Shown Up Chairman Kelly In his final re ttiiriu took up one by one the de mands of Banks. He said: "I regret as much as anybody the death of Everett Dahnck. It has been investi gated by two grand Juries, one with a special prosecutor. No indictments were returned and it is time the Everett Dahack case was dropped for all time as a political Issue." The Banks demand for monetary payment to the widow of Everett Dahack was a matter "beyond the county court, and a matter for legis lative enactment." The nullifying of the 918,000 libel suit verdict against County Judge Pehl, ,he said, was possible only "by paying the Judgment or tearing up the records." The demand that "all prisoners un lawfully confined In state prison be liberated, was too much like Russia." The demand for the resignations of District Attorney George A. Cod ding and other county officials, Chairman Kelly described as "mob blackmail" and further that "any body who had been at the court house and heard the cries of 'Throw .him In the river,' 'Drive htm out of the state, and hang him,' could not help but feel ashamed." He describ ed the "Inflammatory address of Banks." The meeting then concluded and the Elks' band played. Opinions were divided, naturally,1 Many de clared on the streets today that they had "a different angle." and that the "need of settling down and work ing out problems calmly were plain."
