AT MASS MEETING
(Continued from Page One)
technical question, "Who Is a tax
payer." L. 0. Oarlock replied, "Any lady of
your intelligence ought to know that."
Mr. Oarlock, commander of the
Medford post, then advanced to the
loud speaker and said that the check
of the names by the Legion post
showed that 669 of the total were
not listed on the records of Jackson
county as taxpayers, and that 436 of
the signers were. The same check
showed that 336 of the signers were
not registered voters, and that 41 it
the -signers, according to the court
records, had been convicted in the
courts of offenses.
Men Try Hand.
Two men later arose from the floor
and asked questions. One was Roy
Chandler, secretary of the Unem
ployed association; the other was W.
W. Truax of this city, a miner and
well-known resident.
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-

death. She said she had no know
ledge of who killed her husband,

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."

L

uty sheriff, and Fred Chartraw had
been assigned to the Investigation
after a series of fires had broken
out In the Long Tom section. Lowd
and Chartraw had strict Instructions

led to the arrest of the two men,
alleging tha they saw them setting
fires.
The state Introduced two plaster
cases of horse shoe tracks made by
a horse ridden by the defendants.
The state will attempt to show that
the tracks were made by a horse
ridden and owned by Rose. P.hlpps
said that, owing to the nature of the
ground. It was difficult to obtain
good casts, but that the distinctive

nails. The exhibit caused Rose to
shake with good natured laughter.

the state, one to show threats and
comments made by - Rose to fire
fighters.

location of the fires. Witnesses tes
tified that the fires occurred on land

tion of the timber was merchantable.
