YOU have seen, in an prooaDiuiy.
the beautiful monument to the
seagulls In Salt Lake City.
It waa the seagulls, you will re
member, that saved the community
in lta first year by eating the grass
hoppers that were destroying the
growing crops, without which the
people would certainly have starved.
ROMS, as you know, was saved by
the cackling of the geese that
detected Invadera creeping In upon
the city and by their noise aroused
the aleeplng defenders. Geese, ever
since, have been .held In grateful re
membrance In Borne.
M
AND you know the thrilling atory
of Arnold Wlnklereld. the Swiss,
who broke the Austrian phalanx by
aweeplng within hla grasp a dozen
spears and 1 centering them In his
own bosom, thus opening through
the ranks of the phalanx a way for
his comrades, but giving his own life
for the good of his country.

With hla last breath, he whispered:

BY PETITIONERS
Friends of Sheriff Gordon h. Seller-
merhorn today started circulating
petitions eddreiwed to Governor Ju
lius L. Meier. Asking that Sheriff
Schermerhorn, under Indictment In
the ballot theft case, be retained as
sheriff, "pending the determination
of any and all charges that have been
or may be entered against him."
Prank J. Newman, attorney for the
sheriff, said that the petitions were
issued at the behest of friends of
Schermerhorn of many years stand
ing, and that It was upon their soli
citation that he prepared them .
The governor last week called
hearing before Circuit Judge W. M.
Duncan to hear testimony upon his
fitness to continue 1n the office. The
court will report its findings to the
governor. A suspension for 90 days la
sought. The county commissioners
filed a petition with the governor
asking for a hearing. It has been
called for Thursday next.
BANKS BIG 'ROLL'
The authorities today denied the
report that a large sum of money was
found upon either L. A. Banks, slay
er and agitator, or Edith R. Banks,
his wife, when searched following
their arrest last Thursday, for the
murder of Constabn Prescott.
State polios said that when search
ed In the Josephine county Jail,
Banks "had a couple of doltarp In
his pockets." wh.cn he sent back to
his wife. Mrs. Banks, the authorities
said, was searched by the county Jail
matron. She "had a "couple of bills
in her purse."
A legend among Banks followers
has been that he carried a large sum
of money In a money belt, about his
waist.
The Jail register which Banks and
Mrs. Banks both signed," also shows
that neither had any large sum of
money. They also signed the property

FEHL FLAYED FOR

POLITICAL UNREST
Voicing a sincere tribute to Con
stable Oeorge J. Prescott deploring
bitterly his slaying by L. A. Banks,

Then he repeated, "no pictures,

Rela-. for Shock
Attendants started to complete -preparations
for the electrocution and
Zangara said evenly: "Goodbye. Adl

then leaned back In the chair and
relaxed to await the shocks.
One of the guarda who fixed tha
