Call on Court
As the first official action ot the
Committee cf One Hundred, a ape-
elM committee called on the county
court yesterday and pledged its en
dorsement of the petitions which
have been clroulated for ft week or
more, protesting against further hold
log of political gatherings In the au
ditorium of the new court nouse.
To support this endorsement, the
following resolution was presented
for th consideration of Vie court:
"Whereas, the use being made of
the audttorlum In the county court
house has been objected to; and It
appearing to the court that auoh
use has at times been unlawful;
"It is hereby ordered that the use
of said auditorium to any and all per
sons be and hereby Is prohibited, ex
icept by written permission of the
county court for each and every such
, meeting, signed by two or more mem
bers of the county court.
"It Is further ordered that the sher
iff of Jackson county, Oregon, Is
hereby directed and Instructed to see
that this order Is obeyed."
Fehl PiolesU
Over the protest of County Judge
Fehl, wjho claimed such an order was
unconstitutional, and declared any
organisation could use the court
house auditorium as far as he was
concerned, such en order was signed
by Commissioners Billings and Nealon
and made a part of the official rec
ord. epokeamen of the Committee of
.' One Hundred told Judge Fehl they
were willing to have the constitu
tionality of the action legally tested
t any time, that It was based upon
the sound policy that the court
house was the property of all the
people of Jackson county, and the
members of the court, delegated to
represent ALL the people, had the
right to take such action, regulating
the use of the court house, as they
believed a majority ot the people
would sustain.
Crime Follows G.-G, Meet
' It was following the last meeting
of the Good Government Congress
in the court bouset that the court
house was broken Into, the court
- vault smashed, scores of ballot boxes
stolen and their contents destroyed.
This resulted In the recount ot the
sheriff race, ordered by Judge skip
worth of Lane county the night be
fore, being called off, threw former
Sheriff Ralph Jennings out, and al
lowed Sheriff Schermerliorn, whose
legal right to the office uad been
disputed, to retain the position.

"We find that there has been some
soliciting of legal business in the
county Jail. While we realize that
defendants In criminal oases should
have full legal representation, we rec
ommend that soliciting for such bus
iness In the county jail should not
be allowed or permitted.
"This grand Jury has made a con
scientious and extensive investiga
tion Into the matter of the shortage
of confiscated liquor in the special
basement in the court house. A
large number of witnesses hav been
Interrogated, but we feel that there
has not been sufficient admlssable
evidence produced that would war
rant any indictment, with reason
able prospects of securing a convic
tion. "We believe that O. W. Dunford,
the former Jailer, is open to severe
censure for his carelessness in the
handling of this liquor and for his
failure to have a proper system in
receiving and accounting for the
same and his inability - to account
for this ahortage.

"We as a body have the hlaheat
esteem for our circuit Judge, Harry
D. Norton, for George Codding, dis
trict attorney, and for George W.
Nellson, deputy district ( attorney;
that we have had splendid co-operation
and assistance from these offi
ce of this county and that there
has been no attempt in any way to
hinder or unduly Influence this
grand Jury.
"We have also had the co -opera
tion of all of the other county offi
cers and so far as our Investlgtalon
shows, these officers are conducting
county business entrusted po their
charge in a very efficient manner.
VII.
"We find that since the first ot
this year there has been a saving ef

and that this work la being cared for

VIII.
We find that alnce the first of the
year there has been a deputy Jailer
employed, and that a probation offi
cer has also been applonted. We
consider that one Jailer Is suffi
cient and. therefore recommend that
the services of the deputy Jailer and
probation officer should be Immedi
ately dispensed with.
IX.
'We find that a number of master
keys, which open practically all of
the offices In the court house, have
been Indiscriminately distributed, and
we recommend that these keys be at
once taken up and the Improper Is
suance or use of these keys be abso
lutely prohibited.
We have examined all matter that
have come to our attention and where
Justified, have filed Indictments In
this court.

MARVELOUS NEW
1933
PERSECUTED ROLE
FORCES BANKS TO
SIDESTEP TRUTH
(Continued from Pags On a)
affidarlt against Judgs Norton It vat
Just as legal as the one Banks sign
ed against Judge Brand."
A second statement In the Medford
Dally News Immediately followed the
first, which said:
"Second, we hare reason to be
Itere that this motion or preju
dice was prepared and placed In
the files after Wllklns had with
drawn as the attorney for L. A.
' Banks, and after he had demand
ed the S18S7.53, in attorney's fees,
which were not due htm and on
which he held up all of the doc
uments In this and other cases."
An Inspection of the files at the
court house shows that the affidavit
6f prejudice against Judge Norton,
signed by Wllklns, was filed on De
cember 7, 1933, and that Wllklns' let
ter of resignation, printed In Banks'
paper, was mailed to Banks on Feb
ruary 19, 1933.
Falsehood Preferred
Banks could have determined these
facts If he had bothered to call the
county clerk's office, or go there him
self and personally Inspect the files,
but he preferred to Intentionally dis
tort the truth to further mislead his
readers and give them the Impression
he was being persecuted.
L. A. Banks himself signed the
affidavit of prejudice against Judge
Brand, on December 8, which makes
the two affidavits of prejudice al
lowed a litigant, and. according to
law, only two affidavits are allowed.
Time Was GlTen
Banks further claims he did not
have time to file affidavits of pre
judice against Judge W. B. Duncan
because he received the notice on
February 20, that the case was set for
trial on February 34 According to
law. the affidavit of prejudice would
have been filed Feb. 30th or Feb 21at.
Banks filed the affidavit of prejudice
February 33. or the day alter Wash
ington's birthday, which was too
1st.
Yesterday's editorial was but a con
tinuance of the misleading editorials
written by Banks for many months,
for the sole purpose of prejudicing
the minds of the people against the
officers and courts of the county.
Many of these people who have been
misled now firmly and honestly be
lieve that courts in the county are
corrupt, but It Is reported from many
places that people are changing their
minds about Banks and his Good
Government congress since the truth
of Banks' charges has been printed.
START RECALL
OF DIPLOMATS
PETPING, Peb. 35. (AP) The na

Pln, the Chinese minister at Tokyo.

tilities started in Manchuria, Dr.

ment which followed upon the fight
ing between the Chinse and Japanese

DUFFER GOLFERS
HAY PARTICIPATE '
IN BIG TOURNEY
Medford's golfers will have a chance

tournament for "duffer" golfers. If
present plans of the leaders of ths
local club materialize. It was an
nounced yesterday by Jack Hueston,

tral tourney grounds to play off the

fers." "Some golfer will win a national
championship on a score Of 100,"
Hueston said, "if he has any luck.
The dub golfer, which takes In most
of the golfers In the United States,
have' been completely overshadowed
by a handful 'of sharks, and this
tournament Is to stimulate Interest
In the game by the lesser lights."
