The authorities said they were win nowing as much fact aa possible from the mass of rumors and reports that have come to them from many sources, but had no definite an nouncement to make as yet, and could not make any definite promise, as to when one would be forthcoming. The authorities say they are busy on a number of new leads, but ex pected the most of them to 'lead into "blind alleys." The officials were also searching for ballots, they think might not have been destroyed In the court house furnace. The authorities said that nothing definite had been established, except that It was an "Inside Job" and that the perpetrators were well acquainted with the lay of the land around the court house. The names of the two men ques tioned, and the reported missing wit ness in the case, were not divulged. Southeast Storm Warnings Issued PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 24.

E. Daniels, first exalted ruler of the lodge, last night at the anniversary celebration at the local temple. The lodge waa organised Septem ber 33, 1909. The installation was held in the old Angle opera house and the dedication banquet In the skating rink on South Front and Ninth street. "They spent one thousand dollars on the banquet and that was a lot of money when a uniform could be purchased for four," Mr. Daniels told the crowd. All Elks had to appear In uniform at the elaborate party and there were fines for those who didn't, each hour without uniform adding an increased penalty. There were banners strung thruout the town and that was when the streamer lights were first placed across Main street. The Elks put thera up to light the city for the gala celebration.

Reddy, Jeff Heard, H. Von der Hellen. T. E. Pottenger, Lee L. Jacobs and Clarence Reamea. The lodge was organized with 43 charter members and Mr. Daniels as exalted ruler until the spring elec tion, when W. W. Elfert was elected. By the end of the second year the lodge had over 300 members. Meet ings were held in the old K. P. hall over what Is now the Rex Cafe. The night of the big banquet, de scribed as the most elaborate social affair In Medford, Evan Reamea acted as toastmoster and the guestB were also entertained by such celebrities as Tom Marshall, one of the greatest trnpshooters In the United States, and Ed Morris, professional marks man from Portland.

Riverside BANGS ON TABLE AND MAKES EXIT ASCASEGOESON (Continued on Page Five) Banks, appearing as his own coun sel, presented a motion asking that the hearing be "indefinitely postpon ed" on the grounds that M. O. Wll klna of Ashland, his former counsel, was holding all the papers In the case, and because "the Southern Oregon Bar association which I call an illegal legal trust has denied me counsel." t Wllklns Denies Possession The court ordered Attorney Wll klns to produce Immediately all pa pers in the receivership action un der penalty of being adjudged guilty of contempt of court. Attorney Wll klns, who was in the court room, under oath testified that he -had no legal papers other than copies in his possession, In the Tuttle suit, but waa holding copies of documents on an attorney's lien in 18 other legal actions against Banks. Attorney Wll klns testified also that an audit of newspaper books had. been turned over to A. J. Blschoff, Banks' book keeper. Banks also contended that affidavit of prejudice in the action filed against Circuit Judge H. D. Norton were filed by his attorney, M. O. Wllklns, without his authority. The court ruled that Wllklns was then his counsel and that, his procedure was binding. The editor contended he did not personally file the preju dice affidavit against Judge Norton. Postponement Denied The court was advised that all the original papers were on file in the court. Judge Duncan then over ruled Banks' motion for an "Indefi nite postponement. When the court overruled the mo tion and Banks screamed: "I'll not try any case In this court, and I will withdraw from it," he emphasized .bis defl with his clenched fist, table with his clenched mflst. The court replied that departure was his privilege, "but it would be well if you remained, and I wish you would stay."

CHARLES A. WTNO AOENOT, INC Exclusive Agents. folio, Attorney William McAllister appeared and Informed the court that Banks yesterday had filed an affidavit of prejudice against Judge Duncan In the suits of O. B. Waddell, acting as agent for the Medford National bank against Banks and his wife and the Suncrest Orchards, Inc., for $9, 000 losned on mortgages on the or chard and West Main street prop erty. To Resist Prejudice Attorney George M. Roberts an nounced that the latest of a score of affidavits of prejudice filed by Banks In his legal battles, would be re sisted. The court announced that hearing on resisting of the prejudice affidavit would be held at the con clusion of the pending case. Banks then picked up his port folio and strolled from the court room, playfully shaking hands with Attorney Roberts on the way out. The crowd silently watched the exit. , During the course of his harangue for an "Indefinite postponement," Banks read twice the letter of Wll klns because "X want the people to know," and "there els no use trying to the people." The court held that the original documents on file In the clerk's office was all that was nec essary. Banks plead for time, and during the course of the argument there were a number of sharp wordy exchanges between Banks and At torney Gia Newbury for the plaintiff. Banks, before departing, declared : "It is not necessary for me to hear thecase, as I know what it will be." Admonished By Court When the excitement flared Judge Duncan said: "This Is a court of law. Because one of us loses his head, It la no sign all of us should." The court further stated he had been sent here by the state and that the coming was not of his own choos ing. "However, I have a duty to per form, and I am going to do It. Mr. Banks, I will see that every consti tutional right to which you are en titled is amply safeguarded. You win be proteoted in your rights." At another stage of the proceed ings the court declared "no more heat than already engendered should be engendered." Avoid Crowding Courtroom The court also instructed the bai liff to allow no more to enter the courtroom than could comfortably sit or stand. "All who can enter ore entitled to be here. I think con gestion should be avoided because of the hazards of fire." The court also Inquired if the sheriff or state police were present. Can Swlgart, another of the origi nal founders of the Dally News, was In court as a witness. The News Publishing Co., Lee B. Tuttle, president, in 1029 sold the paper to Banks. Last December they filed a petition for recelverahtp, pos session and collection of approxi mately $11,000, on promissory notes for payment price due. Banks, in an answer filed a month ago, alleged fraud and filed a coun ter claim. AGED FOOTS CREEK MINER SHOWN IN TR1E-UP' ROLE (Continuau nou. rage one) officers of Jackson county are dls honest and In a conspiracy. If some man had sent Banks letters, demand ing $20,000, and threatening death II It were not paid, and had, in open court, admitted that he sent the let ters and that the signature on the letter was his, the question Is asked whether or not Banks would want the man to run at large, and to be en couraged In his threats by some news paper editor bent on creating a stink and disturbance.

Any reader of the Dally News, any member of the Good Qov- trnmtnt, fnncrmitm at mnv fnllnart- of Banks can draw his own conclusions ! as to Banks' regard for the truth, and his absolute refusal to believe It when he sees It. Further facts brought out by a thorough Investigation of the "P. A Bates, Foots Creek miner" case, upon which Editor L. A. Banks, leader of the Good Government congress and editor of the Medford Dally News, has based one of his chief "Miscarriages of Justice" prove that Bates has been attempting to force D. H. Ferry to buy his property. Instead of Ferry trying to force Bates out of the country, as Banks has contended. When the Ferry dredge at Foots creek was first started. Ferry pur chased the lower 20 acres of the Black Channel mining property from the owners at that time, the Latimer estate of Seattle, for $20,000! Bates had a lease on the POO acres, and was paid $2000 for his lease on the 30 acres bought. Bates took the 2, 000 that Ferry paid him for the op tion, and PURCHASED THE ENTIRE REMAINING PROPERTY FOR $2, 000, or only $500 more than Ferry paid him for his option on the lower 20 acres, it Is commonly believed that had Ferry wanted the entire property, as Banks and Bates claim he does, that he would have added $500 to what he paid Bates for the lease on the 30 acres and bought It from the Latimer estate. Bates of fered to sell his lease on the lower 20 acres for $1000, but Ferry paid him $2000 for it with the provision that Bates would allow the water to run down Foots creek unobstructed, so the dredge would not be forced to suspend operations for want of water. Tried to Frame Ferry One concrete example of how F, A. Bates, the 74-year-old Foots creek miner, has been "persecuted" by of ficers, Is brought out by the follow ing statements from Assistant Dis trict Attorney George Nellson of an Incident whloh ocourred in the dis trict attorney's office about one year ago: "On February 9. 1932, Mr, F. A. Bates called at the dlstriot attor ney's office In the Liberty building, at Modford, Ore., and came Into my office. He talked about the troubles n Foots creek, which had been a matter of practically continuous complaint from various parties for two or three years. Ayr. Bates stated to mo that he had a proposition to settle this trouble, and his conver sation to me was: 11 'You get Ted Dole and Guy Bates In this office and tell them If they will turn state's evidence and make affidavits that O. H, Ferry hired them to blow up my dam, destroy flumes and other acta I will not proceed against them. Then when you get these affidavits you get Ferry In the office and have him stand against that filing case there; get Cod ding and Jonmngs In and you tell Ferry you have the goods on him, that Guy Bates and Ted Dole have sworn that he hired them to blow up my dam and that unless he pays me $20,000 ' and leaves the county you will put him tn the penitentiary. "He later stated in this conversa tion that he would take $10,000 from Ferry and that If Ferry did not have IN LOVE AT 91 INDISCREET AT 121 IN BAD AT 31...

"1 called wstrict Attorney George Codding into my office and asked Mr. Bates to again repeat his propo sition to me, and he di1 so. "On several previous visits ot Mr. Bates to my office, I had read to him the Oregon law on extortion and cautioned him against writing any more leteers, such as he admit ted he had written to several resi dents of the Foots Creek section, de manding money or he would send them to the penitentiary. It was only on account of his age and men tal condition that no action waa taken in the district attorney's oflice In the case above referred to and the office was guilty of a miscar riage of Justice for falluro to do so, but up to the time of the charge in volving firearms we were hoping tliat the troubles would smooth out, or that his family would take Mr. Bates In rharge and look after him.
