MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1033. PAGE THREE UNG FIRMS FLOCK HERE ON I The county court again today con ferred with representatives of auditing concerns, chiefly from Portland, seek ing employment, for the auditing of che county books, as recommended by the grand Jury, and approved by the county court. No decision has yet been reached, and it Is held probable that the work will be let on the com petitive bid system, with the right to reject or accept. Cost of the work ranges from 913 to 630 per day, according to the esti mates, with the county court as a whole against the expenditure of any exorbitant sum. They want the audit, but feel it should be secondary to the needs of relief and employment. William A. Bausch and Son ot Portland, appeared before the county, court this morning, and Bausch, ft grey-haired man. Informed the court of his qualifications, "without any desire, to boast which It sounds like.' Rausch claimed exceptional ability In auditing, and made a num ber of seml-sensatlonal statements. Asked by Commissioner Nealon rela tive to his experience and references In Portland, he replied: -Well, I would have to refer you to many now dead. Including George Joseph, who we Intended to elect gov ernor of this state." The elder Bausch further declared "I have no doubt several died of heart failure, as a re sult of my reports." He further de clared he was making no Imputa tions. Rausch further declared that friends had told him "you better be careful In your audits, or somebody will knock you In the head." Rausch then de clared that "I can not be bribed or frightened, and fear no man or the devil, but I can be coaxed." The younger Rausch said, in re sponse to a question by Commissioner Billings that they decided to make application to do the audit when they read in the Portland Journal that "some sort of a row was going on In Med ford, and that an audit would be held." 1 The elder. Rausch said that be had had many years experience, and that he had "conducted hundreds of audits." The county court was also sched uled today to confer with representa tives of other auditing firms. The ap plicants, so far, number close to a dozen. TRIAL OF WILSON GETS UNDER WAY Trial of Leslie (Buck) Wilson of Ashland, Indicted by the grand Jury for alleged receiving of stolen goods from the J. O. Penney store In Ash land last July, was started In circuit court this morning, with the selec tion of a Jury and opening state ments by the state and the defense. Luther (Toots) Crosby was the first witness called by the state, and he told of meetings to discuss the store burglary, at which Wilson was pres ent. The witness said that the loot was brought to a house occupied by Ematee (Bobby) Mansfield, the morn ing after the robbery, in suitcases and later stored in a house next door. Tne Mansfield woman and Crosby both entered pleas of guilty. Attorney Frank DeSouza, appearing for Wilson, in his opening statement, told the Jury that the testimony would show that Wilson had nothing to do with the robbery, and knew nothing about it, until after It hap pened. The defense Indicated It would show that Wilson, on parole from state prison, with Crosby, was the "victim of circumstances." The state declared it would show that Wilson had guilty knowledge of the burglary, and that when arrested he was wearing articles of clothing stolen from the store. The case Is expected to go to the Jury late tomorrow morning. A num ber of Ashland residents attended to day's session of the court. EAGLE PT.

Gores Attend Krelsler Concert In Portland Mr. snd Mrs. E. E. Gore and daugh ters, Rosa and Dorothy, were among Medford's very fortunate folks who motored to Portland for the concert of Fritz Krelsler. They returned from the north Tuesday, still inspired with the beauty of his music, which they described as far beyond the descrip tive power of words. The great mas ter of the violin played something for everyone, Mrs. Gore remarked this morning, speaking of the concert, and brought into the most simple num bers the same spirit of poetry which characterized his interpretation of the works of the greatest composers Appreciation of the artist was shown by the crowd, which packed the audi torium, not discouraged by meager purses when in search of something really beautiful and of lasting in spiration. On their way to Portland the Gores stopped In Eugene, where they were Joined by their daughter Beulah, stu dent at the University of Oregon, and attended the Sunday concert of the university orchestra. Among players In the orchestra are Miss Beulah Gore, at the viola; Douglas Orne, formerly of this city, first violin, and Ellen Galey of Ashland, second violin. Mrs. Gore, with her daughter, also attended the Mu Phi Epsllon tea given at the home of John Stark Evans, while on the campus. The wonderful opportunities in music offered stu dents at the university demanded much of her attention and she was enthusiastic this morning in her praise of the department, which Is each year giving students more and more In the way of history and foun dation of music, as well as appreci ation of the art and ability to in terpret the works of the great mas ters. Something far greater than "lessons," she stated today, is brought to the school of music students.

The bill would make more than 25 changes in the national and federal reserve bank laws laws designed to curb bank failures, assist depositors of closed banks and stop the flow of federal reserve credit to specula tive channels. It would allow branch banking In nine states where state laws now per mit this system and require national banks to drop their securulty affili ates within five years. In addition.

Medford, Orefon OPEN EVERY EVENING BEER BILL BRINGS F (Continued from Page One) Eight or nine bills were Introduced In the house this morning, one or two or them passing second reading all In an hour and a half. The committee on Judiciary alone round ed out eight legal reform bills last night and had them ready for intro duction today. Lawmakers have at last struck their stride, and committee meetings are producing results. Some ambitious committeemen get down to work at 8 or 9 in the morning. Others stay up until late at night. Everyone ap pears determined not to drag the term out any longer than the allotted 40 days. It is interesting to note that very few of the bills are really authored by the names that appear on them. In fact, some of the sponsors of bills haven't even taken the trouble to read the bill Introduced. New men at the legislature are often made the goats for poorly drawn bills this way, the "young sters' believing their popularity de pends upon the frequency with which the reading clerk reads their names. SALEM, Jan. 25. (Spl.) A day in supreme court with Arthur Benson, veteran clerk, as guide, is-something to write home about. Mr. Benson, who has acted in his present capacity since 1902, used to live In Grants Pass. His boyhood pal waa Clarence Reames of Jacksonville, whom he visited frequently. One notable day he accompanied Clarence to school, where he met Teacher Gus Newbury. According to Mr. Benson, "Gus" waa considered one of the most efficient and popular teachers in the county. When Arthur Benson began his duties as clerk In 1902, there were only three Judges on the supreme bench. This number was later In creased to five and still later to seven. The need for such an Increase is best comprehended when looking through the supreme court files where Judgment rolls dating back to the '50s are stored. These documents have grown in volume with the years. Looking through the old Jackson county files, a group of six judgment rolls, bound in cowhide, bore the date 1863.' The documents are all (n handwriting, and are considered of historic significance. Aside from the black silk robes worn, the supreme court Judges look human when sitting on the bench. They yawn, stroke their chins, chew gum, and occasionally look Inter ested. In most cases, according to Mr. Benson, only four of them preside. In the center Is the chief Justice. On the right and left ends are the two youngest In the service and to ward the center the next two young est. While these four are hearing cases, the other three are "back stage," writing opinions. In the case of rehearlngs, all seven Judges pre side. While the supreme bench ground out Justice today, a group of lawyers from Portland lobbied at the capltol against the proposed constitutional smendment that is aimed at cutting judges' salaries. That this proposed piece of leg!- latlon will only tend to weed out the efficient Judges and retain those who couldn't make a decent living other wise, was the argument set forth by the lobblsts. Of all the groups who have button holed legislators so far, these were the most untiring and persuasive In their arguments. . But then lawyers are that way.

(Associated Press Photo) UNEMPLOYED GET 1000 AT SLIGHT COST TO COUNTY By the use of county trucks to haul the logs from the county wood lot In the mountains, and through the efforts of Claude Stevens, of the Medford fire department, who Is In charge of the wood lot across from the fire hall, wood Is now being fur nished to the unemployed of the val ley at a cost to the county of eleven and two-thirds cents & tier. .Figures on the cost to the county of furnishing the wood were prepared cms morning by Hamilton P&tton, and compared with the $1.35 a tier that the wood cost the county before the county trucks were used to haul the logs from the mountains to Med ford. Any man who will work either In the city wood lot or in the moun tains for five hours gets a tier of the wood. The surplus wood Is given to families where there la no one capable of working In the wood lot. Twenty men were working In the wood lot by the fire hall this morn ing, and an equal number In the mountains, getting out the logs. Last night the supply was down to one tier, Stevens said, but a truckload of logs arrived early this morning, and another later In the day, and .by nightfall nearly 40 tiers of wood will have been sawed and split, ready for use in heater or cook stove. So well Is the system working, Stevens said, that no particular effort is made to keep the saws sharp because the men would get ahead of the trucks and get more wood cut than they could dispose of. - 1 Triese men are earning the wood they get," Stevens said, "and don't think for a minute they aren't. This isn't any dole, and It Isn't going to be. Anyone who wants to work, and follow orders, can get a tier of wood when he needs It. we haven't any time for troublemakers."

FEED FOR BIROS SCATTERED WIDE BY MILLING CO. Loaded with two and one-half tons of feed the Monarch Seed 5s Feed Co.'s truck left this city early this morning for various parts of the val ley distributing feed to the wild birds. The blanket of snow covering the valley has deprived all wild bird life of their "dally bread" and re ports coming in from the country tell of the many dead birds which have fallen prey to the wintry weather through lack of food to sus tain life. The recent heavy snows have com pletely covered all natural food and as a result birds are dying from starvation. The food being distrib uted by the Monarch Seed & Feed Co., consists of cracked wheat, corn and miscellaneous cracked grains ac cumulated at their milling plant In tnis city. "The Monarch Seed & Feed Co.'s mission of mercy should be backed up by a general campaign by all," said one bird lover, who continued, "scatter grains or bread crumbs, suet or fruit on the snow so that the birds will receive food to keep their bodies warm. Birds serve humanity to such a degree as to warrant protection in times of need. But for the birds our gardens and orchards would fall prey to untold millions of Insects which our feathered friends keep under control. Feed the birds. Don't let them starve." FOR STEELHEAD FISHING IN FEB. Steelhead fishermen of southern Oregon were pleased to learn that the state game commission has approved the opening of the Illinois river to steelhead fishing during the month of February. Notice of the decision was received here by H. L. Nobllt, secretary ot the Jackson county game protective asso ciation yesterday. The move was In response to requests from the local organization and from the Ieaak Walton club of Grants Pass, that the Illinois river be opened for an extra month. It has ordinarily been closed on January 31, to remain closed until April 15. Only steelhead over 15 Inches In length can be taken under the ruling, and the ruling does not effect Rogue river. The ruling applies only to that part of the Illinois river from Ita mouth to the Illinois falls. Local sportsmen were Jubilant over the news, as It will provide an extra month of some of the best fishing in Oregon. Many large catches have been taken In the Illinois In the past few years and It Is a Mecca for many Med ford fishermen. 4 Down from Ash land Ike Frldegar of Ashland'was In Medford this morn ing attending to business matters and visiting with friends.

That Is the question local relief work ers are asking today. But not in the spirit of slang. For while the birds are being fed, woodsheds and larders filled to defeat the march of old man winter, there are a lot of feet heading straight toward chilblains And the relief workers would like those persons who have had cold feet and that Includes Just about every body) to think back on them. For they feel that anyone who remembers the agony that can come with honest-to-goodness cold feet, will be glad to do something to cover up the many feet in Jackson county now exposed to the snow. Relief workers recommend shoes as the best corectlve for the prevailing condition and anyone who has some pairs to give away, or the price of a pair to donate to the legion of cold feet, la asked to get In touch with the Welfare Exchange in the old city hall. There the shoes will be re celved and distributed In the cam paign to prevent the multiplication of chilblains. In weather such as this. It is stressed by the welfare workers, shoes that leak are of little benefit to cold feet, and those with soles, linings and sometimes sides missing, are of still less use to their wearers.
