EIGHT MTDTOKD MATS HWBT7ITE. MEDIDRD. OREGON,' TTJESDXY, SfXY 9, 1933. TRIAL SPECTATORS EXPRESS VARYING IDEAS ON RESULT etortM told by persons returning from Eugene, Trtiere they have at. tended the trial of L. A. and Edith B. Banks, tot the murder of Oeorge Preacott. vary greatly In respect to the orohalble outcome of the trial. Earlr In the trial, reports have It, Eugene residents were willing to bet lvo to one that both would be ac quitted of the charges. Other reports were that Indications were strong for nonvlctlon, Chief among the reasons given for belief that the two would no ao emltted were that "such a respectable looking couple couldn't possibly be guilty of the Charges againsi in, other onlnlons voiced were that "with ao many lawsuits against them, It Is apparent that they were being picked on by trie onicers ana people m county." Others said, "Why, they're Just an old, gray-haired couple, so .Afinwi anrf so aulet. They couldn't do such horrible things." . The report that a "good govern ment congress' had been organizea in Lane county could not be con firmed, but reports here today had 14 that ft organization had reen formed, and was gaining ground. Mrs Henrietta B. Martin, president of the local group, has been distributing calling cards with the preamble of the "good government congress," and their motto printed on the hack. "Attorney Ralph Moody Is present. lng his case perfectly," according to Attorney E. E. Kelly, who returned to Medford after taking the witness stand. "Moody is not speotacuiar, but he Is bringing out one point after another in uerfect order, and the at titude of the townspeople towards the case has changed a lot since tne trial started," Kelly said. Another, returning from Eugene this morning, reported that Banks lawyers are having a time with him, trying to convince him he shouldn't get on the witness stand nimseii. Banks, always a convincing talker, wants to take the stand and "tell Ms story." His attorneys, however, am reported as opposed to his tak ing the stand, because then he would be exposed to the fire of cross-questioning, under which he might stage one of his rampages and "wake up the Juror who has been asleep dur ing most of the trial. Mrs. Ariel B. Pomeroy, strong Banks follower and a leading mem ber of the "good government con gress," returned to Medford Satur day wliih optimistic reports for con gressmen who could not attend the trial. Bhe Immediately sought out County Judge Eari H. Pehl, with whom she went Into conference. Many from here plan to attend the trial when the defense puts on Its witnesses, and many also declare they want to hear the final pleas of the attorneys and be there when, the Jury brings In Its verdict.

The report covers a period begin ning the second week in October and ending May 1, when the exchange was closed for the summer season. The shop employed 100 women a month during its continuance. Each shopping day in the old city hall brought echoes of the humming of many speeding sewing machines snd oheery voices calling greetings and thanks. And from the greetings, the days, working busily together for the welfare of all, have evolved many un derstandings and friendships, which will bring Jackson county something more than physical relief of the des titute, was .the opinion advanced to day by Miss Carlton. The sum of $343 was received by the Exchange for carrying on the shop and relief work. Of that amount HO remains in the bank to start the new season, if continuance of the shop Is found necessary next fall. Thirty-five women donated their ser vices to the shop during the winter season, making its existence possible at so small a cost. No one received money for work done. The needy were paid in an exchange of mate rials and products for labor. Mini mum prices were placed on products as a basis of exchange. Cooperation with the county com missary, the Red Cross, the Medford Unemployed association and the Lions relief kitchen also brought about many worthwhile achieve ments. Pillows were made for the sleeping quarters at the Lions' relief agency and 75 garments were made for the Red Cross. All money spent by the Exchange was spent at' local shops and the courtesy and coopera tion extended by the cltzens in gen eral was highly commended by Miss Carlton today, when she voiced her appreciation of all assistance. The committee working with her In carrying on the Exchange was composed of Miss Helen Bullls, Mrs. Ralph Boutelle. Mrs. H. D. MoCaskey. Mrs. David Rosenberg, Mrs. Glen Smith, Mrs. Robert Munter, Mrs. Roy Duncan, Mrs. Henry Fluhrer and the Misses Frances end Harriett Sparrow. Perchance the Exchange is reopen ed In the fall. Miss Carlton asks that all persons going through their clos ets In summer save all extra gar ments located to donate them to this project, which has developed finer reiier practices by enabling the peo ple to work for what they receive.

(AP) Cause of the $3,000,000 fire which de stroyed the Key route terminal In San Francisco Bay, & ferry boat and rolling stock of the combination ferry-Interurban train system re mained undetermined here today. The fire, which broke out Saturday night and burned with spectacular fury for several hours, was believed to have started on a ferry slip where a barge had been unloading fuel oil. warenouses, orrice and terminal sheds crumbled In the red glow that could be seen for miles. The ferry t-oat Peraita, valued at a million dol lars, broke loose from its slip and drifted into the bay, a floating torch. Electric passenger cars, valued at 750.000, toppled Into the water in flames as the open trestle beneath them burned. (Continued trom Page One) play Santa Claus when she accepted our tariff truce. She waa Just In & better position than England. She has tariff quotas which guard her securely against depreciated curren cies. Also she reserved the right to alter those quotaa when she took the truce. There is likewise ft method in her madness of accepting the consulta tive pact. It is an open secret In the highest places here (and has been for months) that she must cut her army for reasons of economy and eincien- cy. Her agreement for certain arms reductions therefore is less pniian throplc than budgetary. Our government did not blunder into refusing to pay foreign Liberty bond holders in gold. It was forced to take that action. It knew well that foreign governments would raise Cain. But it could not very well ex plain to our own people that they should be paid in currency and for eigners in gold. Such ft course would have been political suicide, -j They slipped the Under-Secretary- ship 'of treasury to a Maryland liberal so as to keep the wolves quiet over there. Even Mr. Roosevelt himself was an noyed by the Maryland criticism of his fiscal policies, particularly from the Baltimore Sun. That newspaper reaches every breakfast table here. Including the president's. Many a democratic dish of ham and eggs has been ruined by the recent antl-lnfla-tlon editorials of the Sun. The out standing critic of the original bank moratorium policy was Gov. Ritchie of Maryland. The liberal gesture was astounding. Up to now nobody but ft conservative has been allowed Inside the treasury by the administration. Liberals get Jobs in other departments, but not in that one. The move probably will not have the desired effect. The appointee Dean Acheson is & good man, but his Maryland residence consists of main taining a summer home in Washing ton suburb. Those in charge of the Truth-ln- Oon't extend credit to Mr. New Customer until you find out from the Southern Oregon Credit Bureau bow he paid the other fellows.

It requires only that the true financial condition of future issuing corporations be filed with the federal trade commis It should help rather than hurt the marketing of securities with the public Inside efforts were made to strengthen the measure. Nearly everyone agreed It could not be done without transgressing the constitu tion. As it stands it fulfills Mr. Roosevelt's campaign promise. He Is not completely satisfied but will take It. Originally he thought there might be some chance of purging the exist ing stock lists, but that proved im possible. Years of labor would be re quired before it could be done.
