TAKES SHERIFF (Continued from Page One ) known among the older residents. He waa Indicted for burglary not m a dwelling in connection with the bal lot thefts. He won the Democratic nomination in the spring primary last year, and In the general election defeated Ralph G. Jennings by a narrow mar gin of 123 votes. With the Issuance of a certificate of election, he came upon tempestuous days. Jennings, a "write-in" candidate. announced he would life a contest late last November, and Schermer horn absented himself until taking office, in Siskiyou county, to evade aummons. The recount petition was then filed under the "corrupt prac tice act. Recount Ordered. The matter was pending In circuit court for two months. Finally cir cuit Judge G. F. Skip worth of Lane county, after bearing the preliminary arguments in January, returned on February 10. After a day in court, Judge Sklpworth ruled the recount should be held, following a deter mined fight to prevent it. That night, and in the early morn ing of February 20, approximately 10, 000 of the ballots were stolen from a courthouse vault, and destroyed. The brazen and bungled crime, automat ically ended the recount. On February 25 Schermerhom was arrested by Cor oner Frank Perl, on a ballot theft charge, and on March 15 he was in dieted with 22 others, on the same charge. Later, Commissioners Billings and Nealon filed a complaint against Schermerhom, charging him with in efficiency, obstruction of Justice, and favoritism to "congressmen. Was Hanks, Fell! Cntspaw. The governor ordered a hearing, and some sensational facts were revealed including testimony that Schermer hom had been sworn in at the resi dence of Earl H. Fehl, who made his appointments; that he was unduly solicitous toward L. A. Banks and Fehl, and waa under their domina tion: thnt he showed an indlffer- j enee towards . "congressmen" and loiterers dally Jamming the court house corridors, that he had taken no action when Banks, at an Inter view proposed the naming of "50, 100 or 1,000 deputies" to take over Jackson county," that his cftlef dep uty had written Banks, suggesting a convenient time for Banks to be ar rested on a criminal libel charge, and that the deputy had loaned his sedan to Arthur LaDleu and Wesley Mo Kitrlck, two men Indicted for ballot theft, on the night of the robbery. Denied Wrongdoing. Schermerhom In defense declared he had made concessions in the ap pointment of a Jailer, but after agree ing to resign had "refused because I was guilty of no crime, and had done no wrong"; that he did not know of the acts of his chief deputy until told in court; that he showed no favoritism, and performed the duties of his office as best he could. Friends of Schermerhom of many years standing say his present trouble is due to accepting the advice of political plotters and schemers, and express a firm faith in his integrity, arhgt?

There they can live on sixty cents a year, and can get along without the sixty cents if they want to use tapa cloth." Suoh was Cap tain Edward A. Salisbury's reference to the Marquesas group of South Sea Islands, where he recently made a visit In his numerous Journeys of exploration. Captain Salisbury la in Medford in connection with the showing of his moving picture "Ra-Mu , being pre sented at the Crater! an theater. The captain waa a visitor in Med ford nearly three years ago, and to day he expressed regret at the trouble that recently occurred here, spread ing adverse publicity throughout the world. "The quicker you ship these people out of the country who have been causing all this trouble, the better off you'll be. We really ought to find a poorer place than the Mar quesas islands, because It's a para dise." "These suggestions are merely for the grumblers," the captain said, "because personally, I am quite satis fied with the finest government and the finest country in the world. I only hope I don't do anything or say anything that they will want to ship me out of here." The Islands referred to by Captain Salisbury, are about four hundred miles below the equator and six hun dred miles from the French head quarters at Tahaltt. The country was formerly densely populated, but due to many deaths from white men's diseases, la now sparsely In habited. The vegetation and animal life grow In great abundance, with the streams full of fish, and all ani mals that were once domesticated, now make up the wild animal life of the island. Referring to his movie "Ra-Mu". the captain said he was "bringing a picture that tells the truth about twenty thousand miles."

Lieut. Calnan came along and ask ed me what I waa diking there. I called his attention to what I had noticed and he told me to stand by the co-unit. Went to RmoklnR Room. While standing there, Oommandei Cecil came up from the control oat and I noticed the wings on his coal and asked him whether he would rather be on an airplane or where he was. "He replied he was "damn glad to be where he was.' "I then went to the smoking room and X left the smoking room at 13:03 by my- watch which was set with the chronometer in the crew's men hall. "I then took my flying gear off. also my shoes, and laid down on my bunk in the outer keel, with my head on my hand resting on my elbow. -I happened to be looking up and noticed the No. 7 cell was swishing quite more than usual. (Inters Give Way. "While looking at this cell the ship gave a tcrrlfio lurch sideways and longitudinal girders seven and eight gave way as well as some of the wires. I waa on my feet in the keel and the ship started down by the tail. My first thought was to get a pair of aide cutters to slip the fuel tanks aft, but while thinking thla I noticed the control wires go through the sheaves and looking forward at another noise noticed the tank at 147 drop from her forward suspension. At this time the ship had reached a very sharp Inclination, so much so that I had to reach for the .side girders to hold myself up. I decided to go forward as I was afraid that the gasoline tank would carry away altogether and come back and hit me. I proceeded forward, when I got at frame 170 BUI Russell and Dean were there and some other fellows who I do not remember. Ship Falling Fast The ship was falling quite rapidly now and I knew she was to crash. About five or ten seconds before she crashed the lights went out in the keel. I retained my stand on the keel and then heard a noise aft and then water hit my feet. A gnsollne tank or something hit me under the water, and Z started to go through the motions of swimming, but my right leg was caught In a girder or wire and I pulled on it. And then after quite a spell came to the surface. I took In a couple of mouth fulls of water which was mixed with gasoline. I started swimming and then no ticed lights on the water. It came to me that It was the flares In the control car going off. For a second or so during a lightning flash, I saw a portion of the ship floating In the air. X started to swim for the ship, but she went out of sight. Heard Cries for Help. I heard the men crying for help and saw a couple of men float by me. They were either floating or dead. X do not know which. Arter about 30 minutes' swimming I sighted a gaso line tank and saw men on It. I swam up to it and asked who the men were. Erwin replied jus name. Copelnnd replied his name and then I br n in asked who the other man was. Erwin then replied Ruta.iv He (Rutan) did not answer. Due to the high waves, the tank would roll and we would lose our hold on the tank. I remember Copeland or myself say ing to Hj and take it easy to keep the tank from rolling as there was a spout on It and she would take in water every time she would roll. Ship to ltesoe Approximately a half hour later I sighted a fthip and told the men on i , r rvW William Phillip, of Boston, who I, thoroughly acquainted with th. operations of the American foreign service.
