Experiences Earthquake To folk who say what Los Angeles needs is "not a new deal, but a new shuffle," Miss Velma Showers wants to say "time's been too much shuffle al ready " She was In the southern city for her vacation at tone time of the earthquake, and according to a letter received by her parents here, didn't exactly like the sensation. "The building began to rock from side to side,'1 she writes from San Fran leoo. "I rushed toward the street with the crowd. Things were falling everywhere. The glass fell out of nearly every window from top to bottom of the largest ones. Electric signs and everything else that could be shook loose, fell." After all these things had happened and she had slept In her clothes for three nights, Miss Showers decided it would be ft good Idea to leave southern Califor nia and start homeward. In the national cnamp.onmps at nimna. One by one the favorites fell by the wayside, mowed down by the girls from the Red River territory of southern Oklahoma. As they pro gressed through the tournament, however, their prowess was comment ed upon In terms of grace and chirm, not rough-and-ready basketbaU. There was not a player on the team who stood out from the others. None of them was famous like Dld rlksoii of the Cyclon1. Ooach S. P. Babb had assembled the nucleus of the Cardinal sextet only at the start of the season. He developed team play to a high de cree at a sacrifice ot personal glory. The result was a smoothly operating organization that furnished the sur prises of the 1933 national tourna ment. Ouch! Practice at 5 A. M. To be a member of the team, a player must report 'ot pra?:!:e at 5 o clock la the morn '.rig. There is BAD EGGS SOLD IS OFFICIAL CLAIM PORTLAND. Ore., Mar. 22 (AP) Concerted action was expected soon by city officials against the sale of undergrade eggs of such poor quality as to really make them unfit for food. Recent free offering In this mar ket of a very considerable supply of undergrade eggs that were so poor that they could not be sold elsewhere has created, a very poor undertone In the trade generally. Undergrade eggs were being sold on the bargain counter but considering ing at all, according to some leaders tneir actual grade, were worth noth ing of the trade. With churning . operations little changed, and off In spots, the mar ket for butter was steady here. Many In the trade were complaining of the unfair prices named on the produce exchange. Local killers were bringing In addi tional liberal lots of broiler fowls from the Winlock, Wash., territory and current needs were being taken care of. Local fowls of all sorts were scarce. Trading In the turkey market Is now of nominal volume; late receipts being very limited. In fact there was Insufficient top stuff now arriving to firmly establish values. First strawberries of the season came from Florida to the Pacific Fruit. The shipment consisted of a single chest, the bulk of the supply being for an Oriental liner. Best sold 40c pint box. .

Dunn of Clarlnda, Iowa, who Is wondering whether or not he owns a gold mine near Medford, according to an Associated Press dispatch from that city, might just as well quit wondering, say mining men here, who know the evangel 1st -miner, who gave him one. Dunn, according to the story, re ceived the mine In payment for an automobile ride he gave a hitch hlger. The man represented himself as an evangelist miner, owning 30 mines near Medford. The trip completed he gave the Clarlnda man, what he claimed was a deed to a mine and disappeared. ' Mining men Interviewed here said the evangelist has about 30 signs at tached to stakes and trees In the Wagner creek country. They are about 100 feet apart and represent nothing more and nothing less than signs. The evangelist, who frequent ly preached In the city park and on street corners of Medford a year or so ago, never proved up on a mine and never staked or recorded one. Miners here further described the evangelist today as "one of the big gest rascals that ever struck Med ford." JIMMY WALKERSWILL BE PARTED BY COURT MIAMI, Fla., March 22. ( AP) T. J.

OntraJ AIR-TIGHT CASE AGAINST BANKS POLJCEBELIEVE (Continued from Page One) a rush of followers to his house fol lowing the killing. Urged "Congress" Meet The evening previous he Issued his weekly paper. In which he attacked the state police, and belittled the ex pected indictments for ballot rob bery. The sheet also urged that all 'Good Government Congress mem bers be present at the trial of Hen rietta B. Martin, the morning of the murder. In accordance with this plea, the courthouse corridors were crowded. At the time. It had been announced, published and broadcast, that the trial of Mrs. Martin would not be held until after the pressure of business In the district attorney's office had slackened. Mpny rushed to the Banks home when the murder became known, but the horror of it caused most of his followers to express revulsion, and denounce him bitterly. They left for their homes and many realized they had been made dupes by a crafty and cunning disturber. The state also has the names of visitors to the Banks home for three or four evenings before the killing. Six or eight cars were parked at the home on these occasions. Wants Outside Lawyer The authorities reported that Mrs. Banks was making an effort to secure a Portland or San Francisco lawyer to defend them. Mrs. Banks Monday sent a telegram to an acquaintance in Salem, asking that he recommend an attorney. Attorneys Rnrlght of this city, and H. Von Schmalz of Burns, have been representing the pair to date. So far the brothers of Banks, and relatives of his wife, In California have not come forward with legal aid, according to officials. One of his brothers lives In Oakland, Calif., the other in Los Angeles, Banks claimed both were millionaires. The authorities report they are substan tial, law-abiding citizens of moderate mean, and highly respected In their communities. Of the three held on Informations charging first degree murder, E. A. Fleming of Jacksonville alone has shown signs of sorrow, and a deep realisation of the seriousness of the crime he faces. Fleming's family vainly used every means In their power to Induce him to cease rela tions with Banks. When Fleming signed the first bond for Banks, on a criminal libel indictment, relatives notified the court that his surety was invalid, aa no property was in hia name. The home of L. A. Banks, scene f the murder of Constable George J. Prescott last Thursday, and held un der a coroner's guard since then, was formally turned back to Mrs. Edith R. Banks late yesterday. The home was placed under guard for the safe keeping of evidence. The home Is under a mortgage for 94500. for which the Medford Na tional bank recently filed suit for foreclosure. A petition for the guardianship of Ruth Mae Banks, 12, daughter of the accused pair, was filed March 14. The document was first filed the Saturday before the bank holiday was called, and Its filing was delayed Mrs. Edith R. Banks is named guar dian Tlie bonds were ordered corrected this morning In an order signed by the probate court. 3ome slight legal inadvertence existed. Mrs. Banks Is still confined In the county jail without bonds. She re quealed to be taken to the house, and It was denied.
