the organization.
In her statement today Mrs. Mar
tin declared that th "Good Govern
ment Congress" retained 8000 mem
bers. In contradiction, there" Is posi
tive proof of wholesale withdrawal!.
Evidence Indicates that the bona
fide membership at no time exceeded
800. The withdrawals started with
the ballot theft, and were speeded
by Banks' revolutionary talk on the
courthouse steps. The wanton slay
ing of Constable Prescott yesterday
caused a widespread revulsion oi reel
ing against the "congress," Its lead
ers and all Its works.

Brown show that the collection of
"funos" was fairly profitable. One
day's proceeds were 839.60. The list

customers at the county commissary,
Mrs. Martin has been a firebrand
figure In the recent agitation of the
"Good Government congress" ieaa
ers. She presided at all meetings.
She attempted to buggy-whip Editor
Hall of the Jacksonville Miner, pro
posed a boycott of all local merchants
and was a commanding figure In the
many conferences at Banks home.
She was a frequent untlnvlted wit
ness before the grand Jury of which
William T. Grieve was foreman. In
her l&st public appearance, on March
8, on the courthouse steps, she con
doned the ballot thefts with the claim
"they should have been destroyed
long ago," and Intimated thta the
. brazen and bungled crime was com
mitted to "cover up liquor dlsap
pearances."
State police today were searching
for "congressmen" on warrants cnarg-
lng criminal syndicalism. A sheaf of
warrants have been made out for
service For the most part, they are
said to be for "courthouse guards"
and agitators. Many made the court-
hou-e their dally rendezvous, and
were "cheer leaders' at all demon
strations.
None were around the courthouse
this morning. , Authorities report
general "hiding out."

HELD AS WITNESS
IN BANKS PLANS
State police announced today that
they were holding Mrs. Arthur la-
Dleu as a material witness in the
slaying of Constable George Prescott
by L. A. Banks, yesterday. The au
thorities also said "that several new
angles are developing in the case,
which are being scrutinized closely
for leads
The authorities refused to divulge
the nature of the "angles," or to deny
or confirm a query that a "confer
ence" was held at the Banks home a
night or so before the murder.
The Banks home is known to have
been under survellance since the
threat of a "revolution," and the
names of those who attended "the
vital conferences" known.
Mrs. La Dleu was arrested yester
day when she appeared at the city
police station, and asked to see her
husband, held on a ballot theft in
dictment. She expressed satisfaction.

today at his home in a Milwaukee
hotel.

The issue is plain. It can't be dodged or side-stepped. As
this paper called on the people of this community over a month
ago to AWAKE, to STAND UP AND BE COUNTED, we
now call on them again.
fa ND as we declared then, the call is NOT for violence, NOT
to return lawlessness with more lawlessness, we need no
secret vigilantes, no table pounding agitation all we need is
what the Mail Tribune knows we have.
AN AKOUSED AND MILITANT CITIZENSHIP.
A citizenship that will support the law enforcement officials
we now have; that will stand 100 percent behind constituted
authority and the government under which we live; that won't
rest, or pause, until this section of Oregon, from Ashland to
Rogue River and from the Applegate to Rosy Anne, is cleaned
up and freed of these ballot burners, horsewhippers and mur
derersand cleaned up and freed of them FOREVkK !

accompanied Constable Prescott, de
nies that any letters were handed to
the slain officer, as Mrs. Banks
charges.
The state will also show that Banks
was warned n a telephone message
that he had been Indicted, and that
a warrant would be served. The au
thorities last evening questioned Ja
net Ouches, his secretary, regarding
what she knew concerning the trag
edy and events leading to it.
Banks and his wife, In interviews
yesterday, both attempted to Justify
their actions, and Banks condoned
the murder by setting forth the plea
he was "acting In defense of his
home."
Mrs. La IMeu Tearful
In the ordinary course of court
procedure, Banks and co-defendants
would be brought to trial within
two weeks, but It it expected that
every possible legal delay will be In
voked by the slayer.
The grand Jury will also consider
the case of Mrs. Arthur La Dleu, ar
rested yesterday in the police station
when she rushed to tell her husband,
held as a ballot burner, that Prescott
had been killed. She la alleged to
have expressed satisfaction at the
murder and to have told Officer Cave
"And you will get yours." Mrs. La
Deu wept at her Imprisonment. An
effort will be made to indict her on
a felony charge.
