P3TGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON", MONDAY, MARCH 6,' 1933. Plan Grubstake for Jobless in Jackson County Mining Regions COUNTY COURT ONll TOUR SEES MANY TAK!NG0UJ GOLD Small Amount of Assistance May Make , Many Self- Supporting Numerous Areas Yield Yellow Metal Demonstrating to ths county court that with ft email amount of assist ance and grubstaking, hundred of miners In Jackson county could be oome Independent and aelf-support-Init citizens, tr. J. F. Reddy, local mlnme man. led a tour of the mln. Ing district last week with. County Commissioners Ralph Billings and R- E. Nealon as special guests. A committee from the Southern Oregon Mining association arranged the visit to several of Uia leading Kold-dlRclng centers of the county. Dr. Beddy explained the Inspection tour, pointing out the advantages to be gained by the county In putting more men to work at recovering the county natural resources. 20 Mine One Aore. The Willow Oprlngs area was the first visited. There the commission ers found 20 men mining within an area of one aore. They were working with small sluices and rather inade quate equipment, but were still able, they informed the visitors, to keep the wolf from the door, and were not asking the county for food. One hundred were found digging gold In the town of Jacksonville, once the gold capltol of the coast. The men stated that none of them had been forced to resort to the county commissary for their food. The A pp legate district also reported very little patronage of the county commissary as a result of gold mining activities, carried on there In a small but paying manner. The same, condition, members of the tour found existing in the Bar dine creek, Foote creek, Talent. Phoe nix and other regions, where men are working industriously and con tinuously at sluloe boxes, getting out mail amounts of gold, but enough to keep them supplied with the na- ; oessltles of life. Most of them, with out access to the gold diggings, would be entirely dependent upon county aid, the commissioners were Informed. Will Consider Plan, Following the tour, Commissioners Billings and Nealon asured the min ing association committee that oon- slderatlon would be given the request for grubstaking some of the miners to aid them In thir commendable desire to keen working. The plan is to be brought before the county cotu-i today. SCHEDULE OF HOME EK Assassin's Victim ri 1 J. " .. ... ..,.!

"Oh, he wanted to live so much," Mrs. Rlchey Oraham, a daughter, said. And Mrs. Frank Jirtcs, another daugh ter, added, "He fought so hard. He didn't. want to die." Mayor Cermak had previously ral lied after three crises In his condl tlon. Colitis, threatened heart failure and pneumonia beset him In quick succession, Just as his physicians had begun to believe he would recover from the bullet wound. Physicians still were optimistic Saturday, but that night gangrene appeared in the right lung, the one grazed by Zangara's bullet, and he grew steadily weaker. A third blood transfusion was performed yesterday In an attempt to save his life and an attempt to check the gangrene was made, but the mayor did not respond. He lapsed Into a coma, last night and shortly arter midnight physicians said death was a matter of hours. The mayor, growing steadily weak er, weathered the early crises by sheer power of a will to get well, and a stout heart. Mayor Cermak was shot the night of February 16 by Giuseppe Zangara, a naturalised Italian bricklayer, who tried to take the life of President elect Roosevelt at a public reception in Bay Front park. Each of the five bulteta he fired Into the crowd around the Roosevelt oar found a mark, but none touched the President-elect as spectators deflected the assaesln's aim by seining his arm. Meanwhile, another victim of Zan gara's bullets lay critically ill in the same hospital. Mrs, Joe H. GUI, Mi ami soolety -woman, whose abdominal wound has become Infected. State's Attorney N. Vernon Haw thorne said early today that Immedi ate lndlotment of Zangara, on first degree murder charge, will be sought. "The Jury la In recess, now." he said, and as much as I regret to think of It, It Is not a question of recalling them but how soon they can be recalled." After the family recovered from the 1 first blow of the doath. they left the hospital and went to the home of Dr. Jlrka at Miami Beach. The special train bearing Mayor Oermak'a body back to Chicago will leave Miami at 6 p. m. today.

POINTS TO TRAGEDY MARSHF1ELD. Ore., March 5 (AP) Discovery late Sunday of the wreck age of a fishing boat on the north Jetty of ths Umpqua river, led to the belief here today that Dexter Pendle ton and Linn Reckmyre. Wlncheater Bay ftahermen, had lost their lives. The boat was washed up on ths Jetty, but tftere was no trace of the men who owned It. An hour before the wreckage was found the two men had been seen In the boat, fishing near the bar In a calm sea. The cause of the wreck was not known today. Ths "red berry" disease of black berry may be success fully controlled by spraying all canes with liquid lime sulphur, one gallon to 12 gallons of water, at this time of season, states L. P. Wilcox, county agent. This so-called "disease'' is In reality caused by a .small mite, which works Its way Into the buds during the bloom period and so injures the berry that normal development is stopped. The Injured berries remain red and herd and fall to mature. The Hima laya is more susceptible than other varieties, but Injury Is known to oc cur to a certain extent on all varie ties, even those growing In the wild state. Growers desiring a crop of edible berries should plan at this time to spray all vines with lime sulfur be fore the buds break open. In districts where wild berries are harvested, It Is suggested that some community effort be made to spray as recom mended, these areas of wild vines. T ALL UNDER RULE SECRETARY KEEPS LAW FROM COPS' SIGHT In view of existing conditions In Jackson county, the Committee of 100 believes the exact terms of the state syndicalism law should be known.

If an or ganization Is guilty as an organiza tion, each member of the organiza tion Is also guilty. The following provisions of the act were quoted: "Any person who shall be, or be come A MEMBER of any society or assemblage of persons which teaches, advocates or affirmatively suggests the doctrine of criminal syndicalism, sabotage or the necessity, propriety or expediency of doing any act of violence or the commission of any crime or any unlawful act as a means of accomplishing any indus trial or political ends, change or revolution or for profit. Is guilty of a felony and upon conviction there of shall be punished by Imprison ment in the state penitentiary for a term of not less than one year nor more than 10 years, or by a fine of not more than $1000 or by both such Imprisonment and fine." The state supreme court has also held that the terms of this act. do not violate the constitutional rights of free speech nor of free assemblage. MATTHEWS HELD C.-C.

Matthews was also a central figure In the raid on the Reese Creek still, which ended tragically in the death of his cousin, Everett Dahack, In November, 1030, and around which so much of the turmoil of the past two years has cen tered. Nye Matthews was released from the city Jail Sunday morning after furnishing $10 bond on charges of being drunk In a public place. He was . arrested Saturday night.

Brown, secretary of the "Good Government Congress," for whom a warrant al leging violation of the state banking law was Issued last Saturday evening. The warrant la based upon that sec tion of the state code, prohibiting circulation of false and malicious Innuendo against banking institu tion. Early apprehension was pre dicted. A diligent search was Instituted for Brown Saturday night, and he was not circulating around the' streets or at the courthouse this morning. He has been a daily figure In both places since the first of the year. He has been actively engaged for two months in the current turmoil. A week ago, he was questioned by Commissioner Nealon about meals he had allegedly been enjoying in the county Jail. A stormy scene followed when Brown was asked on whose authority he waa dining at county expense. The warrant now issued for Brown is based upon a signed statement by htm, which appeared on the front page of the last Issue of County Judge Fehl's weekly, the Pacific Record-Herald. The statement de clared that money was being removed from a side door of the Farmers & Fruitgrowers bank, contrary to the governor's banking moratorium. Em phatic denial, and a clear explana tion was made by William A. Gates of Gates Ss Lydlard. In the Sunday papers. The article, it Is alleged, tended to sow suspicion In the minds of people, and its publication created a firm public demand for action to curb further baseless rumors. There were no further arrests to day in the courthouse ballot robbery case. The district attorney's office was. busy assembling the evidence, for presentation at the forthcoming session of the grand Jury. All legal action In connection with the arrests Is marking time, .pending the ending of the bank moratorium. The authorities are still looking for a half dozen men, wanted on warrants or for questioning, who disappeared from their accustomed haunts - the past week.

BANK HOLIDAY Does Not Affect HOLMES Insurance Agency We are today in receipt of letters from our companies as follows: BANKING HOLIDAY This morning's press dispatches Indicate that the Governor of the State of California has declared a banking holiday extend ing over a period of three days. Similar declarations have also been made in other states supervised by this office. It is appreciated that even with this short banking holiday claimants of this Company may find it impossible to realize the proceeds of any loss drafts, loss checks, or other evidences of Indebtedness which they may hold from this Company. Arrangements have, therefore, been made to dispatch to San Fran cisco sufficient funds In currency to pay such claims when pre sented with adequate releases and with proper identification. Our records show that some claimants are located at points more or less remote from San Francisco, and as It may be difficult for them to take advantage of the assistance which this office can render, we will arrange to substitute United States Post Office money orders for loss drafts, loss checks, etc. Where such substi tution Is desired, It will be necessary that the evidence of Indebted ness be forwarded to this office, bearing the endorsement of all payees and also the endorsement of the local agent guaranteeing the endorsement of the payees. Under postal regulations, money orders cannot be Issued in excess of $100.00, and In connection with any claims for greater amounts more than one money order will require to be Issued.
