A Blow to
'I 'Hi! sudden death of William Levens, deputy attorney gen
eral in charge of the prosecution of L. A. Banks, came as
a tragic shock to the people of this community and particularly
to the many personal friends he
weeks he was preparing the case.
A capable and experienced attorney, Mr. Levens was in a
very true sense, a gentleman and a scholar. Well versed in the
law, a deep student of legal principles and procedure, he com
bined tireless industry with a rare charm and courtesy of man
ner. He was a very quiet man, therefore no doubt disappointing
to those who associate a prosecutor with noise and fury, the
typical "killer", declamatory, dynamic and dramatic.
But underneath that quiet
came to know him were quickly
and strong moral force, within.
WITH the aid of his assistants he had prepared this case
with the greatest care, and was heart and soul in the
effort to bring the guilty to justice, and relieve this community
from any return of another reign
That he Bhould be fatally stricken, just as the case was about
to begin, is one of those unfair and inexplicable quirks of Fate,
which renders life on this whirling ball of dirt, so difficult to
understand. .
HIS assistants of course, will carry on. . But they will neces
sarily be handicapped, by the loss of their leader, at such
a critical time, particularly when they are opposed by five
lawyers, two of them regarded as the best criminal and jury
lawyers in the state.
In the Interest of justice and fair play, we feel that Governor
Meier should appoint the best jury lawyer obtainable to take
Mr. Levens' place. Such a man would necessarily be placed at
a disadvantage at the start, but his appointment would at least
show a disposition to do everything that, under the tragic cir
cumstances, can be done, to compensate for the unexpected and
fatal blow of an unkind Fate.
Money Talks Too Much
ONE of these fine days our entire system of criminal pro
cedure will be changed. Instead of a publio prosecutor
and a private defender there will be a publio prosecutor and a
publio defender. ,
In this way the advantage a rich criminal enjoys, in
OPPOSING a poorly paid prosecutor, with his own highly paid
staff of criminal defenders will be eliminated.
Under the present system the rich offender has a tremendous
and altogether unfair advantage. The most striking example in
recent years was the case of Harry Thaw.
Had he not had millions behind him, everyone knows he
would have met the punishment his murder of Stanford White
deserved. Also everyone knows that had this deluded ignor
amus Zangora, had a family and wealth behind him, he would
never have gone to the electrio chair, a week or two after he
killed Mayor Cermak of Chicago. His case would still be drag
ging on. ". .
WHICH of course is .ALL WRONG I Every defendant is
entitled to absolute justice and fair play, but NO MORE

three times a day
for a period of 10
weeks. Calcium
lactate Is best
dissolved In a
little hot water, and this mixed with
nearly a glassful of cold water, the
dose to be taken soot, after the meal.
It has a taste- not very bad, but the
taste may be covered by putting ft
few drops of lemon Juice In the
water, or some syrup of orange, or
one may take the nearly tasteless
gluconate of calcium Instead of the
lactate, though the gluconate la too
expensive, I think.- Occasionally cal

I do not guarantee It to do anything;
I merely assure you it is a harmless

Every little while some reader writes
in to tell me of the remarkable bene

this course of calcium lactate. Now

(Continued from Page One.)
He made no comment save "They are
not making much haste.''
Mrs. Martin on Hand. ,
Mrs. Henrietta B. Martin, chief
lieutenant of Banks in the activities
of the "Good Government Congress,"
waited in the back of the courtroom
for ft chance to speak to Banks. She
was asked, for an Interview by Eugene
newspaperwomen, and granted it
briefly.
Mrs. Banks, facing trial with her
mate, sits moot of the time with
eager attention for all that is trans
piring, as the drama in her life tin
folds. At odd moment she sit with
downcast eyes In deep contemplation.
Both Banks and Mrs. Banks ex
pressed deep regret at the sudden
passing of Assistant Attorney -Gen
eral William S. Levens Tuesday. News
of his death cast a somber note over
the courtroom, and the two gray-
haired defendants.
Levens complained to Medford
friends Tuesday morning that he was
HI, but dismissed it as of no conse
quence. Soon after court opened he
excused himself and retired to his
room. Shortly before noon a phy
sician was called. Just before court
opened In the aftemon he was
stricken. As soon as the Jury was
selected. Circuit Judge Sklpworth ad
Jorned court until Wednesday after
noon. District Attorney George A.
Codding then formally notified she
attorney -general's office at Salem of
the death.
Moody to Prosecute.
Attorney Ralph B. Moody was
named assistant attorney-general late
Tuesday, and will 'have charge of the
murder trial and ballot theft oases.
He has been engaged in both esses
since their Inception. Moody has
had wide experience In the law. He
was In the legal department of the
Southern Paclflo railroad and engag
ed in securing the right-of-way for
the Marsh field branch of that road.
tn the Harding and Coolldxe admin
istrations he was a U. S. axlstant at
torney-general. He came to Medford
about five years ago, and for a time
was in the law office of A. B. Reames.
Of the five attorneys engaged in
the Banks case, Charles A. Hardy of
Eugene is the moat Impressive.
Master of Suavity.
Recognlred as one of the leading
criminal lawyers of the state, and
one of th two ranking counsellors
of Lane county, he Is master of
courtroom suavity, addressing all his
queries to the Jury in a conversa
tional tone, with flashes of brilliant
legal thinking. He Is a man of plead
ing appearance and personality, de
scribed by acquaintance as "a law
yer who knows his way around any
kind of a trial. He enjoys a wide
acquaintance in Lane county. His
retention by the defense is regarded
as "a master stroke."

a few cases of these afflictions when

He believes calcium lactate Is most
effective when given as above direct
ed and in doses of from 10 to 20
grains.
There it Is. And that's all there
la. Don't ask me for any more. You
take It or leave It. Sometimes you
take it and leave It, too.
I have but one last word to add.
Just now as I looked up at old John
J. Iaw him wink slowly. That re
minds me I quoted Dr. Tavarnes's
report' from a German medical jour
nal. The Germans are great ones for
cracking new remedies or treatments
to the skies when they first announce
them, and then after the long-suffering
druggists everywhere are stock
ed up to the celling with the won
derful new medicine, discarding it in
favor of a still newer one.
However, calcium lactate is an old,
standard chemical and the market on
it Is not likely to' be affected by the
mere recognition of one of Its toward
effects.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Soda. .
What effect has soda on vegetables?
I cook green beans with a teaspoon
ful of soda In the water three min
utes, then drain and cook 10 minutes
and they are done. They retain their
color and flavor, but I am told they
lose their vitamins. Does soda form
ball in the stomach? Mrs. I. F.
Answer That Is the only objection
I know. The soda destroys Vitamin
C. If the daily diet or ration In
cludes some raw vegetables, relishes
or fruits, no cause to worry about
Vitamin C. Soda does not worm "ball
In the stomach."
Scarlet Fever.
Tou classify scarlet fever as a res
piratory infection and imply the in
fection occurs through conversational
spray, if that is so, why does the
health board quarantine all cases for
30 days or more? Is there scientific
proof that peeled skin can cause scar
let fever if carried by a parent, nurse
or doctor? H. Yr
Answer It Is Just an old maritime
custom. There Is no good evidence
that scarlet fever is spread through
the desquamation or peeling skin.

At the Tuesday morning session,
Attorney Hardy questioned the Jur
ors; Lonergan watched intently every
word and move, and conferred sev
eral times with Banka and Charles
F. Moran of Cleveland, Ohio, former
newspaper publisher. Lonergan also
filed a motion before the court for a
transcript of the proceedings.
Attorney Lonergan spoke but once
during the morning session of court,
and then to say: "That's a bit argu
metative. I would like to hear some
questions asked." He was objecting
to the state's questioning of Soren
Wlnther, a prospective Juror, later
excused.
The remainder of the defense's bat
tery of attorneys Joseph R. Ham
mersly of Portland and Attorneys
W. E. Phlpps and T. J. Enrlght of
Medford. played busy, if silent roles,
and took copious notes.
Jurors Know County.
Mrs. Pearl Wicks, who 20 years
ago taught school in the Butte Falls
district of Jackson county, is one of
the 13 Jurors, and two alternates im
panelled In the case.
Mrs. Jessie Bertsch of Springfield,
the last Juror selected, after the de
fense had exhausted all Its chal
lenges, said In response to queries
that she had friends In Jackson coun
ty, and named them as the famines
of Dr. Martenson, Harry Gillette and
Harry Glle. Mrs. Bertsch said her
Medford acquaintance was small. Mrs.
Wicks said she knew few, if any,
Jackson county resident now.
Neither Mrs. Wicks nor Mrs.
Bertsch. they testified, had any Inti
mate knowledge of the Jackson coun
ty turmoil, had never talked about
It, and all they knew about it was
"what they saw in the headlines, and
paid little attention.'
The age of the Jurors range from
Mrs. Bertsch, perhaps 35 years old. to
Mrs. Madge P. Ad i eon of Lorraine,
perhaps 65, and L. K. Page, about the
same age, and ft retired sea captain.
Mrs. Addison, a trim matron, was

cCARTHY-BENQ BOUT
TO FURNISH FIREWORKS
Next to the Jack McCarthy-Battling
Beno bout at the army tonight in
Mack Llllard's fight card, the bout
between Spider Bone McElroy and
Jimmy Campagne is expected to pro
vide the bulk of the fireworks.
Campagne has fought here before,
and displays the cunning and vlclous
ness of his Indian forefathers. Spider
Bones Is a tall, disconnected and pug
nacious Pelicy City fighter, who likes
nothing better than a wild battle and
Compagne said this morning that ft
wild battle was Just what he was
going to get.
The bouts start at 8:30 o'clock, with
Emerson Babb of Medford and Kid
Rusty of Klamath . Falls slugging at
each other for four rounds. Those
who have seen Babb In Action know
what to expect, as Babb either wins
by a knockout or gets himself punch
ed into a coma. Babb, however, has
won most of his bouts, and is pre
senting Ijlmself as one of Medford's
most promising fighters.
Cort Mitchell will meet Johnny
Bell of Klamath Falls In the second
bout on the program, and Cort, too.
has gained favor here. Cort has been
fighting here for the better part of
two years, and although he does not
have any Madison Square Garden
aspirations, still he stands toe to toe
with the best of them and slugs it
out.
The preference of Medford fans
for hard-hitting fighters full of ac
tion has led to the selection of slug
gers for Mack Llllard's cards, and
the choice of Battling Beno of Pelt
can Olty to fight Jack McCarthy is
typical of what Medford's fans want.
Everyone knows McCarthy's yen for
action, and Llllard said this morning
that Beno is Just as full of action
as McCarthy.
With most of Jackson county's of
ficers In Eugene, some fans are skep
tical about attending the match, but
Llllard assured fans yesterday that
no riots would ensue after tonight's
fight, unless, of course, somebody
starts one. Les Weiss will referee. If
he gets back from fishing in time.

FISHING LAGS AS
Although the big run of salmon
that has kept southern Oregon fish
ermen busy In the Rogue river for
weeks is scheduled to continue for
some time to come, fishing ha been
rather poor for the past few daya
according to local fishermen. High
water has caused the salmon to stop
striking, and catches have beenscarce
this week.
Prospects for the summer's fishing
are that anglers will have one of the
best seasons in years as far up the
river as Savage Rapids dam, but
only one salmon has been reported
caught above Savage Rapids, although
many have tried fishing at Ray dam.
