TO BE . SPEEDED
BY ADDED FORCE
Owing to the large crowd applying

seven for this scheduled stop. How.

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.

era!" of the Medford business forces
who have been out to "get" Banks
because of his fearless' opposition to
their "graft and corruption."
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. Fin
ally, when he saw Prescott trying
to break Into his home and 'get'
him. Banks lost his reason. You
couldn't have stood It and neither ;
could I."
Prescott "Used" la Claim
Lonergan said the district attor
ney's office had started using Pres- ;
cott to "get" Banks because they
knew Prescott was angry at Banks
and wanted to kill him.
"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? Was
he a coward when he asked for fair
prices for fruit and made the trust
pay them?"
Lonergan described Banks' state ol
mind as he saw his fortune torn
from him, his friends arrested, his
own life threatened. He recounted
again the incidents that led up to
the slaying.
"My God I" the attorney shouted.

he couldn't etand It any longerl
He lost his reason!
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.
The case was assured of reaching
the Jury sometime this afternoon.
Judge O. F. Sklpworth was to read
his instructions to the Jurors before
thoy retired to settle the fate of the
ex-publlsher and his wife.

MEMORIAL POPPY
L
"The patriotic spirit of America
which enabled the nation -to put
forth Its great World war effort Is
symbolized in the little red memor
ial poppy." Mrs. K. D. 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.
