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.

mayor's room, close to the death
scene, for several minutes.
"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.
Officials of the organization today
pointed out that mere membership
In an organisation which advocates
or affirmatively suggests criminal
syndicalism Is sufficient to gain a
conviction under this act. 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.

Up to noon today, the authorities
had been unable to find C. H. 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.

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. These will be forwarded promptly on
receipt of evidences of Indebtedness properly executed, as stlpulat
ed herein.
