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.

Finer friendships, growing out of
many working hours together dis
tribution of clothing to the tune of
30,000 garments to the needy in Jack
son county, and the making of 16
quilts to keep that many families
warm, were high spots in the report
released today by the Welfare Ex
change, through the chairman, Miss
Helen Carlton.
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.

AND FERRY BURN
OAKLAND, Calif., May 0. (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.

our tariff truce. She waa Just In &
better position than England. She
has tariff quotas which guard her

alter those quotaa when she took the

There is likewise ft method in her
madness of accepting the consulta

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-

Our government did not blunder
into refusing to pay foreign Liberty

to take that action. It knew well
that foreign governments would raise

should be paid in currency and for

have been political suicide, -j
They slipped the Under-Secretary-
ship 'of treasury to a Maryland liberal

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

The liberal gesture was astounding.
