Wallace, came out aa the senate yield
ed to house insistence that It be re

of 63 to 38 approving the report ot

viously had agreed on every section
except the production cost plan, au
tomatically sent the bill to President
Roosevelt.
Norrls Gives Up.
Senator Norrls (R., Neb.) who had
championed the production cost plan
in the senate, called on colleagues to
reject his amendment.
"The house rejected this amend
ment by an oerwhelmtng majority.
Norrls said. "I would have liked to
have seen It stay in. but that looks
like an Impossibility."
Senator Borah (R., Idaho), inter
rupted to assert 'the cost of produc
tion section Is the most important
part of the farm sections."
Norrls agreed, but reminded col
leagues of the house vote. Wheeler
(D., Mont.) appealed to senators not
to eliminate the section.
Will Sinn Soon.
The president is expected to sign
the mammoth bill without delay, and
arrangements are being made to put
the credit Inflation provisions Into
effect by purchase In the open market
of up to three billion dollars In fede

power to Secretary Wallace to make

Admission of Revolver as
Evidence Seen as Blow
To Banks Case Defense
Gun Found Under Womans Coat Bolsters
Premeditation Contention by
State in Prescott Slaying
By ARTHUR PERRY
EUGEN, Ore., May 0. Circuit Judge George P. Sktpworth of Lane county,
.hearing the murder trial of L. A. Banks, former Medford orchardlat, news
paper publisher and agitator, and his wife, Edith Robertlne Banka, Tuesday
morning granted tho state the right to admit aa evidence the 38-calibre
pistol, a cattrldge belt, holster and a handful of shells found on the after
noon of March 18 last on a cot In ihe hallway of the Banka .home. The
weapon and shells and paraphernalia were found hidden beneath a woman's
coat with a, fur collar.
The court, In oxerrultng the objec
tions of the defense to the introduc
tion of the evidence, held that the
pistol and paraphernalia "were com
petent as evidence to show the Intent
and preparation of the defendants,
and the fact that the pistol waa
found five or six hours after the com
mission of the crime In no wise af
fects Its admissibility. The defend
ants are charged with first degree
murder, and premeditation and delib
eration are necessary element of the
state's case.'
The court held that, though the
crime has been shown as committed
with a rifle, It la within the "prov
ince of the state to show by compe
tent evidence the presence of other
weapons that tend to show Intent,
premeditation, preparation and delib
eration." Moody Shines On Argument
Arguments for; the state were pre
sented by Assistant Attorney General
Ralph E. Moody in a masterly man

at times arose to a dramatic pitch.
Attorney Moody cited several simi
lar cases, Including one In New Jer
sey and two in this state. In support
of his position.
The msln point of the state's con
tention as sustained were:
That the presence of the revolver
at the scene of the crime tended to

backed by a deliberate and premedi

where you would least expect to find

PRESENTATION OF
STATE'S EVIDENCE
T!
By ARTHUR PERRY
EUGENE. Ore., May 9. By agree
ment between the counsel for state
and defense, in the murder trial of
L. A. Banks and his wife, Edith Rob
ertlne Banks, the court recessed Tues
day afternoon at 3:40 oclock until
Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock.
Assistant Attorney General Moody
informed the court that the state
would be able to finish lte direct
case by Thusrday evening. Captain
Lee M. Bown, in charge of state po
lice for the southern Oregon district,
in charge of the collection of evi
dence In the murder case, and also
the Jackson county ballot theft case,
will be the final witness for the state.
He la expected to be on the stand
most of Thursday. There are also to
be a half dozen rebuttal witnesses
for the state.
Chief Defense Counsel Lonergan In
formed the court that the delay would
be advantageous to the defense In
marshalling Its witnesses and that

speed with which they could later
present their witnesses. It is now
thought that the case will enter the
final arguments next Monday at the
opening of court, and that It will be
In the hands of the Jury not later
than next Tuesday noon.

DESTROYS PIER
DANGERED BY AXE
Unless something Is done Immedi
ately by the state of Oregon to pre
serve the timber along the Crater
Like highway between Prospect and
the forest service boundary, a stretch
of about four and one-,half miles, the
timber may be cut and sawed into
lumber by the end of the summer,
according to E. C. Solinaky. superin
tendent of Crater Lake national park,
who returned from Portland this
morning.
Negotiations between the Rogue
River Timber company, owners of the
timber, and the state highway com
mission, have been going on for sev
eral months in an effort to effect a
trade, of timber between the forest
service and the Rogue River Timber
company so the timber along the
highway can be preserved. Such
trade, according to officials of the
timber company, la out of the ques
tion, as the 'orest service has no
timber to offer for trade that the
timber company could take, and cut
at this time. Immediate need of fin
ances to pay taxes and repay bonded
indebtedness makes It Imperative for
the timber company to liquidate
now. The forest service, according
to Its officials in Portland, has no
timber to trade that could be cut
and marketed now.
Two proposals are before the state
highway commission. One Is to buy
a 1000-foot strip of timber from
Prospect to the forest service boun
dary, and the other Is to buy the
timber between Rogue river and Mill
creek, thus creating a park of some
5000 acres, which would remain for
generations as one of the most beau
tiful strips of sugar pine and Doug
las fir In the northwest.
Unless action to purchase the tim
ber from the Rogue River Timber
company la taken Immediately, cut
ting of timber will start before tour
ist travel starts. Contracts for the
cutting of 10,000.000 feet of the tim
ber are now ready to sign, and log-
gtng contractors are ready to move
onto the grounds. By the end of the
summer the now beautiful strip of
timber will be nothing but stumpage,
according to officials, and tourists
will drive from Prospect to the forest
service boundary through stumps and
brush Instead of through the forest.
The Rogue River Timber company
recently made a tax payment of
bout 9000 on this timber, and
bonded indebtedness is due. The
timber must be sold, they say, either
to sawmills or to the state.

UUOBNB, Ore., May 10. (p) To 18
witnesses, regarded by the supersti
tious as an ill-fated number, the de
fense will trust Its case when the
state rests In the Banka trial late
Thursday afternoon.
Thtrteen people have been sub
poenaed by the defense to tell Banks'
side of the atory, and they will be on
hand to begin their testimony Thurs
day if the state completes Its case
as Ralph Moody, chief prosecutor,
has intimated.
On motion of both counsels, the
trial waa recessed today to give both
sides time to muster their witnesses
for the next stages of the battle. It
la not expected, however, that the
trial will, be ended before nt least
another two weeks.
The myatery note, "Mother to Dad
dy," may figure in the state's closing
strategy Thursday, for Moody has n
tl mated he will make another at
tempt to get It before the Jury.
"We will make every effort to pre
vent the note from being Introduced."
said the defense counsel today. "Ita
origin has not been proven and the
Judge has already ruled against It."
The note, purportedly written by
Mrs. Llewellyn A. Banka to her hus
band, preceding the shooting of pres
cott, has to do with the proposed
"stand" against the law and suggests
the Banks home as the most favor
able locale, it is understood.
Although Wednesday was a day of
rest for court officials, It waa Just
another day of work for the atate
and defense attorneys. Moody, chief
pros uec tor, was preparing to fire his
final blasts of testimony, and Lee
Bown, captain of the state police 1n
Medford, is expected to take the
stand. Bown has figured prominent
ly In most of the testimony to date.
With Phil Lowd. Jackson county dep
uty sheriff, Bown arrested Banka and
took him to . the Grants Paas Jail
following the shooting. Bown la ex
pected to give further revealing tes
timony against the defendants.
Will the defense enter an insanity
plea? Among other things, insanity
and paranoia will be brought In, but
the defense will not make Its stand
on this point alone.
"We will show that Mr. and Mrs.
Banks were not guilty on the mur
der indictment, and we will intro
duce several points to prove It," said
a spokesman for the defense. "We
will not make our stand on Insanity
alone, although Banks was not ie
sponslble for his actions at the time
of the shooting."
'Superstitious about our 13 wit
nesses? Of course not. However, If
others are needed we will call them,
and it la possible that several others
will be brought here to take the
stand when we get our Inning In
court."
