CONGRESS PEOPLE
I
Memberships Secured Thru
Misrepresentation Plaint
to District Attorney Cod
ding ' Speeches Tire
A dozen or so members of the so
called "Good Government Congress"
have requested the district attorney's
office, since last Monday, to aid
them In securing the return of their
membership cards, signed through
"misrepresentation." All told the au
thorities that the "revolution" threat
uttered by L. A. Bands, erstwhile
editor and orchardlst, from the court
house steps Monday, and previous
inflammatory remarks at the "Good
Government Congress" meets had
disgusted them and impelled them
to seek withdrawal.
Wild Tnlk Tires
The "take t,he field in revolution"
utterance of Banks last Monday was
preceded by incendiary utterances
concerning "nooses" and "ropes," and
"seize Jackson county." Meetings at
which these rabid comments were
made were opened with prayer and
pledges of devotion to the Declara
tion of Independence. Several told
the district attorney that they Joined
the organization under the impres
sion Its objective was better employ
ment conditions, Instead of political
vengeance and agitation.
The JackBon County Unemployed
Council also agreed to assist all In
securing their membership cards, and
that "terrorism" threats would not
deter them. It was also reported that
L. A. IBanks, "honorary president"
and chief orator, had no membership
card. Under the Oregon syndicalism
law, the individual member Is liable
for the deeds and utterances of the
organization.
Rank and File Revolt
There 1b evidence- In plenty that
the rank and file of the "Good Gov
ernment Congress" Is rapidly drifting
away and renouncing the organiza
tion, except for a few of the second
ary leaders. The sentiment through
out the county, among all classes, Is
for a speedy conclusion of the agita
tion. The past week the court house
halls have been noticeably free of
loiterers and it la no longer a ren
dezvous. Preliminary legal action In the
court house ballot theft cases will
be taken as soon as the bank holiday
ends. The assembling of most of the
evidence has been completed and is
ready for presentation.
The authorities were still working
today on various angles of the brazen
but bunglesome ballot destruction.
Five or six men wanted for question
ing, or on warrants, are fugitives.
To Face Grand Jury
Action will also be forthcoming as
soon as the non-Judicial days end on
two or three cases growing out of
the agitation engendered by the
"Good Government Congress." One is
a decision in the case of L. O. Van
Wegen, charged with possession of a
concealed weapon. VanWegen was one
of the "Banks guaras." Evidence In
the case was heard by justice W. R.
Coleman, but decision was reserved.
VanWegen is also a defendant, with
C. H. Brown and E. L. Fitch, in the
case charging Henrietta B. Martin,
president of the "Good Government
Congress," with disturbing the peace
and riotous conduct as a result of
the attempted lashing with a buggy
whip of Leonard Hall, editor of the
Jacksonville Miner.
0. H. Brown, father of Mrs. Martin,
and secretary of the "Good Govern
ment Congress," was arrested last
Monday afternoon on a warrant
charging "slandering a bank," as t,he
result of an article published recent
ly in the Pacific Record-Herald.
Brown was released on $1500 bonds
with Ernest Dahack of Eagle Point
and Albert Ponton of Plnehurst as
sureties. He is scheduled for an early
hearing.

ing, was underway this afternoon be

today
, That a great deal of Interest is
being shown in the various events
planned for tomorrow afternoon by
the Southern Oregon Mining associa
tion on the Southern Pacific lot across
the track from the chamber of com
merce, is attested by the fact that
this morning Miss Alta Pahl of Med
ford entered in the women's division
of the panning contest with a chal
lenge to all woman contestants.
The rules of the panning contest
are: First, begin with a pan level
full, second, start on a signal with

SEARCH FOR DOPE
IN KLAMATH ZONE
(Continued trom Page One)
Balllnger. United Statss customs pa
trol officer,, chained with his own
handcuffs to a tree In the Stsklyous,
shifted today to Klamath county and
eastern Oregon. Balllnger was "shang
haied" Wednesday noon while search
ing an auto suspected of carrying
guns and narcotics. He was struck
on the head, bound and gagged and
Imprisoned In the rear section of a
Model T Ford coupe.
Louis Older of this city saw the
blue-bodied auto with a brown top
on the Greensprlngs mountain road
yesterday afternoon. The engine was
sputtering and wheezing, as Ballln
ger described It, and experiencing
difficulty in making progress.
Other motorists saw the kidnapers'
car and reported It was traveling at
a slow pace owing to engine trouble.
The authorities believe the desper
ate pair will try to steal another auto
and attempt to "hide out."
Balllnger, weak and weary and bad
ly beaten, left here yesterday after
noon by plane. The plane left ahead
of time and was called back to pick
up the customs officer. He reached
Seattle last night after a short stop
in Portland.
Balllnger told the authorities yes
terday afternoon that he was locked
In the rear section of the auto from
a point 26 miles south of Bell Ing
ham, Wash., until he reached the
Slsklyous. He was endangered by
gas, fumes, and the fact that a num
ber of holes were bored in the floor,
enabling him to get an occasional
whiff of fresh air, probably saved
his life. The auto made few stops
and drove steadily from Wednesday
noon until early Thursday morning.
The customs officer was handcuffed
and cramped In the narrow space.
It was learned yesterday that the
auto stopped Thursday morning in
Ashland and procured gasoline. The
auto was parked about a block from
the service station. One of the men
carried the gasoline to the car. They
did this to prevent Balllnger from
attracting attention by kicking the
sides of his prison. Early Thursday
morning Balllnger had completely re
covered from the blows on his head,
had collected his senses and was
planning ways and means of escape.
He had been shadowing the men for
some time and knew them, he said,
as "tough yeggs who would do any
thing for money."
Balllnger said that he had made
a partial inspection of the contents
of the auto when rendered uncon
scious by a blow adomlnlstered by
an assailant who crept up behind
him. He found a package containing
six revolvers, still in their factory
wrappings, and two Thompson sub
machine guns, also brand new.
The weapons, It is thought, were
to be sold to San Francisco Chinese
for use In China. The Chinese are
willing to pay exorbitant prices for
firearms, as International regulations
curtail ttheir sale and shipment.
Balllnger regarded the thrilling es
capade as Just another Incident In
his work.
