Rr Paul Mallon
WASHINGTON, Fob. 31. Senator
Oourens called Henry Ford on the
long distance telephone one night
early tn the ween ana aaia:
'unrv. Til en on a lolnt oeraonal
note with you for twenty million
dollars to aee tnia Detroit nuns
iMim t.hrniich" In caae you do
not know how much twenty million
Is, uae your montns eaiary cnec
aa a common denominator. There
are few other men In the country
who could raise twenty million in
cssh right now aalde from Ford and
Couzens.
. . Ford realised how much It waa.
Ha hemmed and hawed. The offer
waa not accepted. ,
That la only one of the lnalde tales
of big money and big men Involved
in the Michigan bank caae. Nego
tiations to save the situation were
carried on secretly for five days be
fore the governor gave up and de
clared the bank moratorium.
That Is the real reason Treasury
Seoretary Mills called off his trip
to Kanaas Olty and pleaded with
the R. F. O. for action. Negotiations
finally got down to the point where
Ford and two other automobile man
ufacturers of Detroit agreed to
pledge their deposit! In a Detroit
bank as collateral for an R. F. O.
loan to that bank.
. Soya In the know here aay that
would have Jrosen about seven and
a half million of Ford's cash. It
appears later he disagreed to doing
I that way. Hie frlenda ay he sub
mitted a counter-proposition to turn
the money over to Governor Corn
stock if the R. F. O. would give the
governor fifteen million more.
. That was impossible. No agree
ment was reached. The moratorium
resulted.
Since then Ford's friends here have
been trying to blame Couzens while
Cousenta friends are blaming Ford.
They claim the automobile manu
facturer at one time in the negotia
tions threatened to withdraw twenty-five
million from state banks.
They contend that it was solely to
atop this withdrawal that the gov
ernor acted. It is very probable
moat of the people Involved lost their
tempera and made threats back and
forth during the unsuccessful nego
tiations. Direct blame may be hard
to place. .
But In any argument between
Couzens and Ford all Washington
will aide with Oousens. He haa the
reputatton of always being with the
underdog. He and Ford get along
like .two strange bulldogs. They
apeak, but that Is all,

CODDING NAILS
MALICIOUS LIES
OF DAILY NEWS
(Continued from Page One)
Cousens is a very peculiar man
In some respects. He does not want
facts known about hla charities. In
that he Is unlike most every other
politician In waanington. None of
ths facts in the above story come
from him. He will rage when he
sees them published.
. He will likewise resent publication
of the fact that he had a bill on
his desk recently for 1S,000 for half
soltng shoes of children In the state
triAhiMn Tht. mmA unri.i the
ten million gave some yoors ago
for child Improvement. He gave
cool million in Detroit relief and a
quarter of a million In odd chango
to the community cheat. He loaned
a million to see a Detroit street rail
road situation through and nobody
knows hew much else.
The reaaon he keeps all these
things under his hat la that ao many
people are after him for money. His
charitlea are alwaya shrewdly given.
No more need apply.
The beet part of Mr. Hoover's fare
well address will never be delivered.
He decided at the last minute to
keep it wholly to himself.
Advance copies of the speech were
given to the press at the White
House last Sunday. It was announc
ed the president would Issue an im
portant addition Just before he spoke
In New York Monday night. Over
Sunday night he changed his mind.
One sddttlonal paragraph was Issued.
It- was merely sn unnecessary eum
matlon of hla arguments. .
The natural auppoaltlon was that
ths president had Intended to say
something regarding his own politi
cal future and changed hla mind.
What had been expected waa some
thing like Mr. Cooltdge'a "I do not
choose to run." The situation was
ripe for It but there Is no evidence
on the lnalde or out that Mr. Hoover
had such an Intention.

WETS SPEED UP
EFFORT TO PUT
0REG0N0N LIST
Passage By, Congress Of
Submlssal Act Is Spur
Information Sought On
Future Actions Necessary
SALEM, Feb.. 31 (AP) Prohlbl-
tton haa again become the focal point
of legislative attention with receipt
of word from Washington that the
national house has passed the reso
lution submitting to state conven
tions the question of repeal of Vie
18th amendment. . .
Leaders of the wet forces In both
houses and the lobby renewed their
efforts to speed up consideration of
legislation to provide for a state con
stltutlonal convention and the elec
tion of delegates thereto.
Last week the senate rejected by
a vote of 17 to 13 the Upton bill
netting up the machinery for a con- '
stltutlonal convention. Immediately '
the same bill In amended form was
Introduced In the house by Repre
sentative Oouley and Is now being
held In the house committee on elec
tion pending receipt of more de
tailed Information from Washington.
Ask Future nam.
Today Representative Romeo Ooul
ey of Marlon county telegraphed Sen
ator Charles M6Nary requesting Im
mediate Information as to what con
gress may be expected to do tn the
matter of convening, state conven
tions and providing machinery for
the election of, delegates. He asked
particularly aa to, the prospects of
congress attempting to set up elec
tion machinery, and whether candi
dates for election as delegates will
be required to state their positions
for or against repeal,
The Oouley bill provides for tho
eleotlon of delegates to a convention
at such time aa congress shall des
ignate at the next speolal or general
election hold in the state, apportions
delegates by counties in accordance
to population, and apoclftes tfiat all
candidates shall state their position
upon the repeal.
Must Take Action.
Notwithstanding defeat of the Up
ton bill in the senate Isst week wet
lesders, encouraged by action of tho
national house, were hopeful of en
acting legislation to provide' for ft
constitutional convention before the
legislature adjourns, probably some
time next week.
"Action of congress In submitting
the question of repeal to state, con
ventions makes it imperative that wo
take action before adjournment to
provide the machinery for holding
auch a convention In Oregon," said
Representative Oouley,
"In the face of what congress has
done this legislature haa no right to
deny the people of Oregon a right to
vote on this Important question at
the earliest possible moment."
has shouted from the public plat
form a demand for my removal.
Facts of Case.
What are the facts? Walter Long
lost his life. Shortly thereafter I
waa notiflted and went directly to
the scene of his death. All available
witnesses were questioned at that
time and I gave orders to the officers
to arrest and hold the only persons
present when he met his death. The
next morning a complaint charging
manslaughter waa prepared against
the person with whom Long had had
an altercation. This complaint was
prepared In the office of the district
attorney and signed before Judge L.
A. Roberta of Ashland by Ralph Jen
nings, then sheriff. The party charg
ed with the crime, after spending the
night in the county Jail, put up bail
to appear when called by the court.
The same day that Long lost his
life I ordered an autopsy to be held.
This was performed by Drs. C. I.
Drummond, county physician, and Dr.
Chae. Haines of Ashland, to determine
the cause of death.
10 Witnesses Heard.
A few days later a preliminary
hearing was held before Judge Rob
erts In Ashland. About 18 witnesses
were called and certain exhibits In
troduced. Judge Roberta felt that
there was not sufficient evidence to
hold the accused man to the grand
jury, and accordingly he ordered him
released. This was a public, hearing
and over a hundred persons heard all
the evidence, and stenographic notes
were taken by Walter Looker, a court
reportor.
Although the accused was not
bound over to the grand Jury, I volun
tarily submitted the case to the pres
ent grand Jury and recalled all the
IS or more witnesses before that
body, and the grand Jury found "Not
a true bill." In other words, the
grand Jury thought the evidence In
sufficient to warrant the expense of a
trial in circuit court.
Up to Grand Jury.
The district attorney could not try
this case unless the grand Jury
brought an Indictment,
Now. this fellow Banks, who wishes
to be the dictator of Jackson county,
rente and raves because no coroner's
inquest waa held. Why should ft oor
orner's Jury of fix be called, 16 or
more witnesses be called,-and all that
expense thrown on the county to de
termine certain facts which were al
ready known. Mr. Long's sister was
present through, the whole affair and
gave Information regarding all that
the coroner's Jury could have deter
mined, except who, If anyone, was
guilty of a crime?
Here is quoted from Section 13
3405 Oregon Code 1030. the facts
which ft coroner's Jury shall find:
"When the examination la
closed, the Jury or two-thirds of
their number, must give their
verdict in writing, and signed by
them, setting forth, so far as they
know or have good reason to be
lieve, who the person killed or
wounded Is, and when, where,
and by what means he came to
bis death or was wounded, and
whether any person, and who, la
guilty of ft crime thereby."
It will plainly appear that Mr.
Long's sister g&ve the officers all of
the above information except the
last.
Hearing Already Set.
Had a coroner's Jury been called,
and all that expense incurred, all that
coroner's Jury could have done would
be to require the accused to be ex
amined by Judge Rooerts, and I had
already done this by filing th com
plaint In Judge Roberts' court.
Now, the accused was already
charged In court with manslaughter,
was out on 13000 ball and the date
for hla hearing set. Why, In the
face of all this, burden the county
with the. additional expense of a cor
oner's inquest?
In short, all the coroner's Juiy
could possibly do. bad already been
done by the district attorney, so why
add further expense?
The grand Jury HAS made a thor
ough Investigation, because the dis
trict attorney voluntarily submitted
all the evidence to that body.
Matter of Record.
The above Is all a matter of public
record, and anyone Interested can ex
amine that record.
In a recent apeech before the so
called Good ' Government Congress,
this man Banks stated that the wid
ow of Mr. Long came to Ashland,
looking for Information regarding her
husband's death. That she could get
no information, and finally consult
ed Dr. Swedenburg, who sent her to
Banks. Dr. Swedenburg Is Banks'
partner In ft wildcat mining deal on
Foots creek. - Also, Dr. Swedenburg

1 the personal physician or Banks,
and attended him In ft recent Illness.
Why did not Swedenburg send Mrs.
Long (If she ever was nere) to the
district attorney's office, the sheriff's
office, to Judge I. A. Roberts, to
Walter Looker, who took stenographic
notes of all the evidence, or why not
to the grand Jury who investigated
all the evidence?
Why Were Officers Ignored.
Furthermore, TF Mrs T.ong was ever
here, and IP she did Interview Banks,
why did not Banks send her to the
grand Jury, Judge Roberts, the sher
iff's office, the district attorney's of
fice, or to Walter Looker, who took
all the evidence Introduced?
. The Long case was handled strictly
In accordance with law. and In the
same manner as thousands of cases
of this kind are handled tn every
jurisdiction In the United States.
If Banks knew thli. he Is lying tn
the readers of his paper, and his
hearers. If he does not know It he
Is too stupid to be a newspaper pub
lisher. Do the taxpayers of Jackson county
want the district attorney's office run
on a strictly legal and economic ba
sis, or do they want It run according
to the dictates of a person who is
too stupid or crooked to state the
truth?
Business First Aim.
The district attorney's office Is the
legal department of Jackson county
and must he administered on a strict
ly business basis. It has been my
policy to give my best efforta to the
conduct of this office, and this leaves
but little time-to answer false and
libelous attacks, such as have ap
peared In the local morning news
paper. As I have stated before, this article
Is not made In defense, but merely
to correct falsehoods which have been
uttered against- the district attorney
and the courts.
