Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
INDIANA, regarded a. dry po!
blllty, goes for repeal of the 18th
amendment by a majority of more
than two to one.
. The handwriting Is on the wall.
Prohibition la doomed.
PROHIBITION byatatute. that la,
la doomed, at least for the pres
ent. The pendulum la swinging In the
other direction.
But temperance ISN'T doomed.
Temperance la a Important now as
It ever waa. and It always has been
Important.
CYRUS H. K. CURTIS, one of the
world'a greatest publlshera, dies
at the advanced age of 82. He built
h'B great business on CLEAN Jour
nalism. That la a fine record to leave be
hind. YOU may not have noticed It, al
though It Is probable that you
have, but It la the COUNTRY news
papers, in the main, that have follow
ed the example set by Mr. Curtis.
It Is in the great cities that sen
sational Journalism flourishes. It Is
the great cities where the tabloids
flourish.
The country newspapers, of Which
this is one, confine themselves pret
ty closely to publishing clean,
straight, accurate newa.
IT Is this writer's' opinion that the
country newspapers enjoy the con
fidence of the public to an Infinitely
greater extent than the newspapera
of the great cities of thla country.
That, at course, is only a personal
opinion, but -there la much evidence
to support
J p. MORGAN, as you have noted
from reading the newspapers
in tfie past few days, paid no Income
tax in 1830.
J. p. Morgan owns the largest and
most expensive private yacht In the
world the Crosair, which cost In the
neighborhood of two and a half mil
lion dollars.
The annual cost ' of maintaining
thla yacht la said to be somewtfere
around 100,000,
THE devices by' which Mr. Morgan
avoided the payment of an In
come tax ln.lB30. 1931 and 1932 were
doubtless legal enough. No one has
accused him of violating the law In
order to avoid paying an Income tax.
But It Is going to be mighty hard
to convince common, ordinary people,
who had to pinch and scrape In or
der to find the money with which
to pay their taxes in these years,
that a law which permits Mr. Mor
gsn to escape payment of Income
taxes while enjoying such luxuries as
the ownership of the largest and
most expensive private yacht in the
world Is a fair and Just law.
It certainly needs some amending.

not in a dwelling." aa one of the
More evidence was adduced to i
I
show that Walter J. Jones, mayor
of Rogue River, was the signalman
of the ballot thefts; that County
Judge Earl H. Pehl, knew of its plot
ting; that suspended-Sheriff Gordon
L. Schermerhorn, whjle the theft was
In progress, was standing on a near
by street; that John Glenn, former
county Jailer, promised "good pay'
and Jobs for two of the participants
In the crimes, and that Thomas 1j-
Brecheen of Ashland, ward politician
'egged" the Sexton brothers to "take
all the ballots, we don't want them
to count any of them."
Conspiracy Claimed
The state contends that Fehl,
Schermerhorn, Jones, Glenn, ana
Brecheen engaged In a conspiracy
to steal the ballots, and prevent the
recount the court ordered In the
sheriff's race. '
Assistant Attorney Ralph E. Moody
Indicated that the state might con
clude its main case Monday, and
had "seven or eight more wltneses
to call' next week. Some of these,
it Is said, will tell of a meeting held
In the . court house. Just after the
recount decision was made, and the
word went out, "there must be no
recount."
Present Indications are that the
case will be in the hands of the
Jury by Friday possibly Thursday
afternoon, late.
Jones Instructed
Virgil ' Edington, 36. Gold Hill
youth, testified at the Mart of the
afternoon session, that he was a
"Banks guard," and with Arthur La
Dleu, the defendant, and Wesley Mc
Kitrlck. who testified at the morn
ing session, on the night of the bal
lot robbery he left with La Dleu and
McKitrtek. with alx ballot bags, and
drove to the home of Mayor Jones
near Rogue River, for Instructions.
Edington testified that on the way
to -the north county town. La Dleu
Joked about the ballot theft.
"La Dleu thought it would be a
good Joke on the court, when he
came to count the ballots, and there
were none to county the witness
sate1.
Edington further testified that La
Dieu said: "There will be no recount,
and Schlmmy (Schermerhorn) won't
lose hla Jobs for a while."
Gave Them Pitch
Edington testified that Jones gave
them some pitch, "so the tjallote
will burn better," and advised them
to go to the home of McKl trick's
parents across the river, and burn
the ballots, and "do a good Job of
it."
The witness said the three of them
himself, McKitrtek, and La Dleu,
went to the McKitrtek home and
burned most of the ballots In the
cook stove. Edington said he and
La Dleu cut the ballot bags with
hlrf Jacknife and they piled the bal
lots on the floor by the cook stove.
They took the slit balrot containers
to the mouth of Galls creek, filled
them with rocks and threw them
Into the stream.
Edington testified that about two
o'clock La Dieu aald, "We've got to
be going to make good on our
alibi." The plan waa to stop at L.
A. Banks' home on West Main street,
"if the lights were on."
Alibi Framed at Meet
A couple of days after the ballot
theft, Edington declared that La
Dleu came to him tn the "Newa" 1
office, and said:
"We'll go up to the bosses, and
get straightened out on our alibi."
They then went to Banks' house
La Dleu, McKitrlck and Edington,
and with Banks and Mrs. Banks pres
ent, the alibi waa discussed. The
witness ssid Banka. decla'-ed. "I will
stand by my boys."
Edington said at a second confer
ence, with Banks and Mrs. Banks
present, an alibi was arranged' to
cover their borrowing of Phil Lowd's
car.
All three were to say they had
borrowed Lowd's auto to carry guns
from the "News" office to Banks
home, so the police would not be
suspicious snd arrest them for car
rying guns without a permit. Ed
ington testified they were to explain
they were "guarding Banks' house,"
and all were to say he "had received
threats." It was agreed If necessary,
the witness satd, for all to go Into
court and testify to the alibi and
that Mrs. Banks suggested they "re
hearse" their alibi, "so there will
be no mists ke." and "to remember
what to say In court and stand by
it."
Part of the alibi waa to be that
they were talking "about the Good
Government consresa."
PenclW Burned
Edington further testified, that
while throwing the rock-weighted
ballot sacks into the river, some
B-nrils dropped out of one of the
container, and he nlivd them in
his overcoat pecket
Later they were

burned in a furnace at the "News.
Tbe court ruled tnt the tln top5
of the pencils were not permissible

Edington further testified that he
burned up a pair of gloves handed
him by La Dieu, that he later learn
ed were the property of C. Jean
Connors, vice-president of the "Good
Government congress," and worn by
him while in the court house vault.
The witness also declared that
Brecheen came to the "News.' and
talked to La Dieu, ere the ballots
were stolen.
Edlngton'a story of the manufac
ture of the alibi at the Bank's home
waa frequently Interrupted by de
fense objections, causing Attorney
Moody to admonish him "not to grow
nervous."
Grilled by Defense.
Edington was subjected to a lterce
cross-examination at the hands of
Defense Attorney Enrlght. who char
acterized htm as "a bought and paid

WASHINGTON. June 10. p With
reverberatlona from Its Investigation
of J, P. Morgan and company echoing.
the senate banking committee today
turned to preparation for Inquiries
into other private bankers Including
Kuhn, Loeb and company and Dillon.
Read and company.
While congress sped action on legis
lative reforms growing out of the in
quiry, Senator Neely, (D.. W. Va. told
the senate that "36 months of tax
dodging" by J. P. Morgan had "shak
en the faith of millions In the Justice
of existing law."
Bribery Is Claim
The West Virginia senator said the
sales of stock to selected Morgan cli
ents was a "brazen attempt to bribe
on a nation-wide scale."
The investigating committee met
in executive seasfon and decided to
let a subcommittee determine wheth
er the Kuhn. Loeb and Dillon, read
inquiries should be pursued at once
or deferred until fall. The subcom
mittee will confer with Ferdinand
Pecora, committee counsel, Tuesday.
Pecora has informed the committee
he la ready to proceed at once. In any
event, Pecora la ready to keep hla
staff busy over the summer collect
ing additional evidence for presenta
tion In the fall on Investment trusts
and stock msrket practices, and oper-
atlona of the Chase National bank.
Secrecy Impossible
As an outgrowth of the Morgan in
vestigation, the banking committee
voted not to bind tta member to
secrecy about transactions In exec
utive session.
At virtually every executive session
during the Morgan Inquiry, members
of the . committee protested that
"leaks" were disclosing everything it
did behind closed doors.
Neely, speaking in the senate, said
that aa a result of its stocks sales to
selected clients, "no matter which
party wins an election, the house of
Morgan wins."
"Tax dodging is only one of Mor
gana breaches of the ethical code
that most men consider binding," the
West Virginian said. '

CLEAN SLATE FOR
ADJOURNING PLAN
Uprising In Senate Against
President Roosevelt's Re
organization Proposal
Forces Week-end Recess.
By 0. Harold Oliver
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, June 10. ( AP)
Congress edged up almost to the
point of adjournment tonight and
then found the difficulties could not
ho surmounted.
Paced by an uprising In the senate
against President Roosevelt's reor
ganization proposal and objections
that blocked paasage of the appro
priations messure carrying funds to
start the economic recovery program
into full action, senate leaders ad
journed that branch over the week
end. Near Agreement
Before the plana for a sine die ad
journment were abandoned, however,
a long day and night of work had
brought virtual agreement on the two
major disputes that remained to be
settled the veterans compensatlona
rut and the Industrial recovery bill.
The first was being Ironed out in
conference after an administration
compromise had been accepted by
the house. The second lacked only
senate acqulesence to a conference
agreement.
The break came suddenly and dra
matically, during a speech by Sen
ator Long (D.. La.).
As a note waa passed to him. he
said 'ie understood the senate would
recess over the week-end.
Recess To Monday
Robinson arose and replied:
"Yea. I am ready to move for a
recess until Monday."
The senate had been In contlnu
oub session for 13 hours !n an ef
fort to clean up the leglslstlve cal
endar and wind up the session to
night before the" beginning of the
economic conference in London Mon
day. Crowded galleries had listened to
the long drawn out debate through
the night hours, expecting the usual
hectic and dramatic adjournment
scene around midnight.
First warning of trouble came from
Senator Lttfolette R., Wis.), . who
comparatively early In the evening
announced he would not permit con
sideration of the all Important 3.-
450,000.0000 deficiency appropriation
bill unless he was satisfied with the
conference action on the veteran
and Industrial measures.
The president's special message on
reorganizing some of the government
departments added further trouble,
and its withdrawal waa considered for
a while by confused leaders In an ef
fort to get the long sought agree
ment to quit.
The house was voting on a motion
by Republican leaders who were try
ing to force an adjournment for the
night at the time the agreement waa
reached in the senate.
The senate finished congressional
action on the administration's farm
credits bill oy approving the confer
ence report on the meaeure.
Plodding doggedly away, the house
adopted the conference report to the
Industrial bill without a record vote,
and sent it back to the senate for
final action.
Turning back to taxes then. It
adopted a resolution by Chairman
Doughton of the ways and means
committee authorizing an investiga
tion Into the Internal revenue laws
with a view to revision to eliminate
some of the weakneaaes that recent
hearing are considered by members
to have disclosed.
Showing Its mood for speed while
crowded galleries applauded, the
house with but four minutes debate
voted to remove the limitation upon
the amount the reconstruction cor'
poration might advance to receivers
liquidating closed banka. At present
such loan are limited to $290,000,000.
Agreement by the senate to one tech
nical amendment was atlll lacking.

MOSCOW, June 10. (AP) When
last heard from today Jimmy Mat
tern, American round-the- world air
man, waa passing over Rukhlovo in
eastern Siberia, about 725 miles short
of Khabarovsk, hla next landing
point.
That waa at 9:15 o'clock thla morn
ing Moscow time (1:16 E. 8. T.) The
chances were (.hat by the time Mos
cow received news that Mattern had
been sighted at Rukhlovo he already
waa in Khabarovsk, unless he made
an unscheduled atop, a communica
tion with eastern Siberia ia very slow.
From Khabarovsk the filer will hop
off for the North Amercan continent.
There Is no expectation here that ,he
will bo able to take the round-the-
world speed record from Wiley Post
and Harold Gatty, the men he started
out to beat, but It la assumed that
he will go ahead to set a time for a
rolo flight circling the globe.
Mattern takeoff place today waa
Beloye. Siberia, which he left at 1 :50

NOME, Alaska. June 10. A
light rain began to fall here late to
day, with prospect for continued un
settled weather for the next 24 hours, .
weather observers said.
Preparation were complete to re
ceive Jlmmie Mattern, round-the-world
filer, on his trip from Siberia,
BEVERLY HILLS, Cal.. June
9. All I know is just what I
read in the paper. I see they
are not going to discuss the
war debts on account of it be
ing rather embarrassing to dis
cuss 'cm on the day they are
due. They're just going to
make out like nobody is pay
ing any attention to 'em, and
Europe won't be.
They talked about how fast
Roosevelt got' things done.
Congress is going to make a
snail out of him.' They are go
ing to .undo in ten days what
it took him ten weeks to do.
Excuse me, I got to listen to
the iyht. Yours,
