Comment

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
. TrHEN the cartoonists draw a pic-
W ture of a prohibitionist, they de
pict a lean and hungry-looking indi
vidual attired in a long-tailed black
coat and a tall hat. and wearing a
sour and forbidding expression of dis
approval of everything.
The cartoonists, this writer would
say. never saw "Pussyfoot" Johnson,
who has been speaking before service
clubs In southern Oregon this week.
R. JOHNSON ISN'T tall and lean.
IY1 Instead, he la tall and heavy
muscular rather than plump; physi
cally a capable-looking specimen.
He is bald on top, with a fringe, ol
gray hair around the edges. He has
a srav mustache. His face couldn't
be described aa Jolly, but It la pleas
ant. '
And he DOESN'T wear a long-tailed
black coat or a high hat. He dresses
y Just like an ordinary business man.
HE EATS a hearty lunch and seems
to enjoy It.. Many speakers, you
know, are afraid to eat before talk
ing. Pussyfoot Isn't. He Isn't of the
nervous temperament, evidently.
And when he finishes his lunch,
ie draws a long cigar from his pocket,
light It and puffs away at It with
every appearance of enjoyment,
RISING to speak, he tells ol an ex
perience several years ago In El
Paso, where he spoke at a service
club meeting.
A young lady, rather scantily clad,
had concealed herself behind a screen,
and as Mr. Johnson passed she came
out, threw her arms around his neck
and kleaed him.
He grins as he 111 of it. "The
service - club members,',, he says,
"didn't know of the stunt, and were
plainly embarrassed. I told 'em I
didn't blame 'em for being put out
that I had been kissed and they
hadn't."
The point is that he Isn't narrow-
minded or prudish.
TIE HAS spent mucn nme in uou-
E HAS spent much time in Con-
XT stantinople, and tells a Turkish
story.
A holy man of Constantinople, It
seems, came home from his devotions
one day, and aa he entered hit house
he saw his wife seated on the sofa,
on the lap of a strange men, whom
she was hugging and klsstng with
great enthusiasm. The holy man,
pussyfoot related, was properly scan
dalized, and determined to do some
thing drastic to put an end to such
proceedings.
So he SOLD THE SOPAl
A ANY EVILS, once common in wi
1VI world. Mr. Johnson tells hia
hearers, have ben done away with.
There is piracy, for example, which
flourished for 3000 years. And slavery,
which once was defended by sup
posedly humane and Intelligent peo
i mi a riehteous institution. And
red light districts in the big cities.
And public gambling, such as the
Louisiana lottery. .
All these evils, he pointed out, have
been ended by PROHIBITION that
is. by prohibiting them by law. That,
he said. Is the way the liquor evil
will ultimately be ended. '
He made his point In a quiet, busi
nesslike, tolerant way, with no touch
of fanaticism.
HENCE, you atk. comes the nick.-1
name "Pussyfoot?"
Mr. Johnson was once an officer
down along the Oklahoma border, and
heard of a speakeasy that was selling
hootch to the Indians. He set out to

Orvllle Waller of Eugene, Llewel
lyn A. Banks, convicted on a sec
ond degree murder charge, was
ordered confined In a Eugene hos
pital for several days.
Two guards will be assigned to
wntch the elderly ex-publisher at

scribed by Dr. Waller as "gener
ally run down and nervous" as a
result of the three weeks' trial.
Judge G. F. Sklpworth ordered
the "rest cure" at the request of
Banks attorneys. Sklpworth also
gave the defense 20 days in which
to file motion for a new trial. At
that time the motion will be
granted or Banks will be sen
tenced to life Imprisonment for
the slaying of George J. Prescott,
Medford constable,
EUGENE. Ore., May 33. (AP) A
lifettme of servitude behind the high
walls of Oregon state prison today
appeared the present prospect for
Llewellyn A. Banks, who last March
16 shot and killed a constable who
came to arrest him.
Banks, former Medford, Ore., news
paper publisher and one time wealthy
orchardist of Riverside, Cat., and Med
ford, was convicted by a circuit court
Jury here yesterday of second degree
murder for the shooting of Constable
George Preacott. Mrs. Banks, indicted
with her husband on the first degree
murder charge, and described by the
prosecution as his co-conspirator in
the. reputed attempt to lay. a trap for
Prescott. was acquitted. The Jury
deliberated 22 hours.-
Sentence Walts Motion.
The defense served notice a motion
for a new trial will be taken within
the allotted 30-day period. Banka
will not be formally sentenced pend
ing determination of this motion.
The austere, 62-year-old man whose
ancestry, he declares, may be traced
John and prisma Alden, never
wt the calm, grim manner that
characterized his every appearance in
the courtroom. . He, knowii to have
had the highest hope of acquittal, ap
peared unperturbed and stoic as the
verdict was read. It was his wife
who was most affected. When the
verdict was read convicting Banks,
the woman appeared greatly moved.
Her body sagged and her hand
reached searchingly for a chair into
which she sank.
Will Continue Fight.
"We have Just begun to fight." de
clared George Moran, brother-in-law
of Banlcs, and former newspaper pub
lisher of Cleveland, Ohio. "We' are
going to carry this thing through."
Moran came here for the trial and
said he would remain here until the
case is finally disposed of.
In a statement Issued after he had
returned to his cell In the Lane
county Jail following reading ofthe
verdict. Banks said:
"The verdict has been rendered. I
am undismayed. I have implicit faith
in the eternal cause of righteous
ness. I have been persecuted, nerse-
cuted and convicted by the power and
other special privilege interests. They
have won a signal victory. I congratu
late them.
Sklpworth Fair.
"Judge Sklpworth .was eminently
fair and proved himself more than
a Judge he Is a man. I admire and
respect him."
The Banks trial was brought to
Eugene from Medford on a defense
motion for change of venue.. The city
of Med ford anrf t Via ntt t..i....
"""ty had been split into bitter fse-
non Dy joanas' pontics, activities., He

RESTS WITH LANE
Any legal action against the four
defense witnesses who testified that
they heard Constable George Prescott
utter threats, accompanied by a vile
oath against Banks, aa the officer
with Sergeant James O'Brien of .the
state police, stood on the front porch
of the Banks home Just before he was
shot, rests with the district attorney
of Lane county, as it is within hts
Jurisdiction that the asserted perjury
was committed.. It was unofficially
reported Saturday that atepa to this
end were underway.
The four witnesses Mae- Murray
and her daughter, Mrs. Effie Lewis.
John Wheeler, gardener, and Abner
Cox testified that they were In front
of the Banks home when the murder
was committed, heard Preacott utter
a threat, and saw a pistol fall from
his hand as he slumped to the porch
floor.
In rebuttal, their testimony was
completely refuted. Mrs. Marjorle
Hlbbert testified that she saw Mrs.
Murray and her daughter hurrying
toward the Banks home after Banks
had been arrested, and that she met
them in the middle of the block on
Sixth street, where that thorough
fare merges with West Main. Mrs.
John MUlard testified that Mrs. Mae
Murray was talking . to her in her
back yard when the crime occurred.
John Wheeler testified that he was
In front of the Banks home when the
murder took place, entered the
house afterwards, and also saw a pis
tol drop from Prescott'a hand.
R. O. Stephenson, lumberman, tes
tified that he met Wheeler in the
courthouse, spoke to him, proceeded
to the district attorney's office where
he heard Preacott was shot. The pro
ceedings took about three minutes,
Stephenson testified. He said he
drove District Attorney Codding to
the police atation and then hurried
to the Banks home, where he saw
Wheeler standing In front of the
Banka home, with many others.
Oliver Rogers, a neighbor of Wheel
er's, testified. Wheeler told him a
month after the murder he was in
the courthouse when Prescott was
killed, and was advised of it by his
wife. He then went to the tragedy
spot and entered the house. Rogers
said he doubted this at the time and
still did.
Wheeler was not called to the
stand to rebut either Stephenson or
Rogers. Attorney Hardy of the de
fense informed the court that it
would be "dangerous for him to ap- j
pear, on account of heart trouble, ;
He we on SkJnner Butte, a popular:
eminence facing the Eugene business;
district Saturday afternoon at 6:18
o clock, and was there noted by state
ana county oTfiels-ls.
Oox testified he wae also present
at tn snooting. The state refuted
his claim with the testimony of Sam
Carey, who testified that Cox was
In the Pacific Record-Herald building
on Sixth atreet. at the time word of
the murder was telephoned, and left
with Waltor Jones, indicted mayor of
Rogue River. Jones testified in ur
rebuttal that he was not in the city
at the time.
Testimony of the four purported
eye-witnesses was also diiputed by
Mrs. Banks, who testified Constable
Prescott said nothing while at the
door, and Mrs. Marie MeCuiston, who
testified she was on her lawn at the
time of the shooting nd at the sound
of the shot looked in the direction
of the Banks home and aaw no one.
Mr. Murray and her daughter te4
tified they had rehearsed their tesrtl
mony once in this city and four times
in Eugene to Attorney Tom J. En
right. Transcript of the testimony will be
presented to the attorney-generals
office, also the district attorney of
Lena county.

claring he wna dissatisfied with his
accomplishments and intended to de
pirc without leave.
As shown in the above dispatch
voting Conner had made a most ex
cellent record at the military acad
emy ranking high in his class, and
It is feared that hard study necessi
tated by approaching examinations,
induced a temporary nervous break
down. Mr and Mrs. Conner received
a letter from John last Friday, say
ing he had been worried by . certain
matters relating to his services after
graduation, whether he was to go
In tho artillery or engineers, and they
sent lilm an airmail letter immedi
ately telling htm not to worry, that
whatever his decision, it would be
agrce-tble to them.
It Is probable this letter reached
West Point the very day he disap
peared. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Conner will be sorry to hear about
this unexpected and startling devel
opment, and the entire community
will hope for news that will relieve
their anxiety and show that their
son is safe and well.
"Frank and I are good friends and
have enjoyed working together," said
Enright. "I have nothing but re
spect for Lonergan and plan to or
ganize a 'Lonergan for Governor' club
when I get back to Medford.
"Lonergan .w(H be called in to as
sist us In other cases with which we
are faced In Jackson county. He is
a great lawyer."
Lonergan laughed when Informed
of the rumor.- "Somebody is trying
to start something," he said. "Of
course, there's nothing to It, Enright
and I are friends."

Isolation
of Nations
LEAGUE POWERS
PROMISED HELP
IF WAR FLARES
GENEVA. Switzerland, May 23.
President Roosevelt's peace message
was translated Into a program of ac
tion at the disarmament conference
today as the United States virtually
offered to abandon its traditional
policy of isolation.
Norman H. Davis, American am-ban&ador-at-large,
told the nations of
the world that his government would
consult with them when peace la
menaced. If the United States agrees
with the other countries concerning
the Identity of an aggresaor nation,
he promised that Washington will
refrain from any action of a nature
to hinder collective efforts to restore
peace.
Membera of the League of Nations
Interpreted the Davis statement to
mean that the United States would
respect a blockade by league powers
against a nation responsible for an
outbreak of. war.
This doctrine, considered by League
of Nations circles as an abandonment
of America's traditional policy of iso
lation was announced by Mr. Davis
to the disarmament conference In an
eagerly-awaited speech this after
noon. Th5 doctrine was taken to mean
that when the nations take punitive
measures against an aggressor the
United States, if it agrees to the
Identity of the aggressor, will not
Insist upon the rights of neutrality.
Mr. Davis alao announced the Unit
ed States advocates a system ot con
trol and supervision of armaments
and said that American readiness to
participate In measures for this con
trol would be effective, automatic
and permanent -
Inferentlally opposing a brusque
ie vision ox treaties the American
ambassador-at-large urged the main
tenance of the territorial status quo.
He revealed that his country de
fines an aggressor as one whose
armed forces are found upon foreign
territory in .violation of treaties.
He also announced that the United
States Is opposed to the rearmament
of any nation and declared in favor
of the abolition of offensive arms.
He reiterated American acceptance
of Premier Ramsay Mac Donald's re
cent disarmament proposals.
Turning to the Versailles treaty
and' its consequences Mr. Davis ex
pressed the conviction that there la
a contractural obligation for armed
nations to reduce their armaments
to a defensive level which would be
comparable to the level to which the
vanquished powers were obliged to
reduce their armaments by the peace
treaties.
