SPEEDED BY ADDED FORCE Owing to the large crowd applying ror original operators licenses and re. newals, the examining personnel hu been increased from two examiners to seven for this scheduled stop. How. ever, the ohlef examiner. Ward Me. Raynolds. has announced that begin. nlng Monday, there will be two ex aminers In the city hall dally as long as they are required to handle the applicants, so that Midford residents will be able to apply any day except Sunday and holidays without bavins to wait unnecessarily long. The chief examiner and two exam iners will still maintain the regular scnedule which Is every other Friday and Saturday and on those regularly scheduled days, there will be four or five examiners to give the public service. There seems to have been consid erable misunderstanding as to taking me examination. The last legislature made It necessary for all old opera, tor's licenses to be renewed by Sep. tember 1st this year, it being Impos sible to examine 400,000 to 450.000 drivers by September 1st. those who have a clear record as to accidents and convictions for violations of traf fic laws and those undor 70 years of ne ana, inose who arc physically and mcntauy normal can, after June 0 obtain an application, send it In with the fee of M to the secretary of state and receive their new licenses in that manner. However, they may even tually be required to take an exam ination. All applications sent In after June Btn without an examination will be ohecked very carefully against past records and if found to be doubtful as to qualifications may be cited in for examination.

A .Daniel to Medford!" Moody was accused of marshalling the evidence and the witnesses against Banks, "Moody will make brilliant plea," Lonergan shouted. "because his future depends on his ability to crucify this old couple. He knows If he can convict Edith and Llewellyn Banks he will be met at the station by the 'committee of 100' shouting, "Ah, a Daniel has come to Medford' I" The defense plea was basod en tirely on temporary Insanity caused by persecution. Lonergan told of the series of Incidents that preceded the tragedy. "Banks was a hounded man, staying In his home for ten days before the tragedy to avoid trouble, planning to leave for the mountains to savo his own life.

"Banks WM branriri rnurarrl Lonergan shouted. "Was hf a cow ard when he fought the politicians and beat the power franchise? Was he a coward when he attacked the water bond Issue and beat It?

Defence Witnesses Perjurers Moody followed at once and re viewed the case point by point. He waved the blood-stained warrant taken from Prescott' body as he told them the constable had a legal right to arrest Bank and even break into his home. Point by point he accused the de fense of perjured testimony aud branded their four "eye witnesses' as liars. Of course we had to send to Med ford for new witnesses to combat their testimony. How could we know that perjured testimony would oe offered. When It waa offered, knew it to be untrue and we brought the people here who could prove tne truth." Lies Are Cited "Four eye witnesses claim they stood In front of the door and saw a gun In Prescott 'b hand yet each says he saw no one else on the street. Do the defense attorneys ex pect the jury to believe that?" Moody asked. Charles Hardy and Lonergan were attacked by Moody for Introducing side-issues Into the case. "I should have kept the alienists here to exam ine the defense attorneys for Insan ity. They should know as well as wo do that these Issues have noth ing to do with the case," Moody said. "But of course," he added. "Dr. Josephl would have declared them only temporarily insane and would have said they're all right now, so perhaps it Is Just as well." Lonergan Warned Lonergan, who has bitterly attack ed "Copco" In his arguments, was In turn accused by Moody of being power trust lawyer. "But I've reformed," Lonergan In terposed from the table and the Judge had to warn the defense law yer against Interrupting, xne prosecutor again outlined the complete case, attempting to' show that both Banks and his wife had planned the murder of the constable in cold blood.

Ross, president of the Medford American Legion auxiliary, declared today as the unit members continued preparations for the obserevance of Poppy Day here next Friday and Saturday, May 26 and 27. She expressed belief that '.no wearing of the poppy in honor of the war dead would reawaken a strong spirit of patriotism for the nation's peace-time efforts. "The poppy is the badge of re membrance for those who sacrificed their lives in the country's service," Mrs. Ross said. "It stands for the highest type of patriotism that we can conceive. It recalls the spirit of those days when every American was dedicating his energies and reeourc-s to the national cause and when life itself was not too much to give !or the country. "Remembering those days, it is dif ficult to understand how Americans can be damted by the country's pres ent difficulties. A people who only fifteen short years ago united with such devotion and energy to meet a war emergency, most certainly have the power to meet any-emergencies of peace. The poppy, that symbol of patriotic sacrifice, should awaken In all our hearts a deeper conception of our own duties in our country tod.iy and Inspire us to give in peace the type of service the men who died among the popples in France gave in time of war."- Members of the American 11 on auxiliary will offer popples on the streets all day Saturday. The poppies have been made by disabled veteran and all contributions received will oe used for the auxiliary's relief In the city of Medford. Broken windows glazed by Trow bridge Cabinet Works.
