rEDFOBD U KTL TRTBTTNTE, irEDFORD, OREGON. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1933. PA OF. THREE VILLAGERS PRAY f PLAYJNHEAVENS Europeans Frightened by Falling Stars Toll Bells, Sing Hymns Brilliant Display Lasts Two Hours LISBON. Portugal, Oct. 10. (AP) The superstitious In many Portuguese villages, ttrmly believing the heavens were falling, rushed Into the streets last night during a meteor display which lasted several hours. The church bells were tolled In some villages and processions of peni tents who carried lighted candles and sang hymns were organized. Others asked tor mercy from heaven. Lisbon Itself did not view the show due to a fog. Society and Clubs Edited by Eva Nealon Hamilton BERLIN, Oct. 10. (AP) Two hun dred meteor showers In 15 minutes were counted by German observator ies during a spectacular display last night. ' By Howard W. Blakeslee Associated Press Science Editor. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10. (AP) The chances are 99 In 100 that the rain of falling stars In Europe last night Is a shower of space -wandering stonea which tho earth never encoun tered before, according to Dr. Charles P. Olivier, astronomer of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania. Whether this stream of meteoric atones la so large that the earth la still within Its borders with possibili ties of more meteoric displays tonight he said, Is not certain but seems un likely. The European showers lasted about two hours. Just after sunset, and when word of them waa flashed to Dr. Olivier, head of tbe American Meteor society, he had the heavens watched for hours. He bad not re ceived a report of even one meteor sighted on this side of the Atlantic. This, he said. Indicated that prob ably the shower waa over completely within a very short time after It first appearance. This complete termina tion could arise from the fact that the stream of flying stones waa small, or If It waa a wide stream, then the earth may have cut through only a email section of the meteor pathway. Not in hundreds of years, said Dr. Olivier, has such a great shower of meteors appeared anywhere near this date In October. -t IN FINAL STAGES The tentative 1934 budget for Jackson county will be completed late today by the budget committee, who' toiled until two o'clock this morning, to make It ready for publi cation, as required by law, by October 12. The budget under a law passed by the last legislature, must be com pleted and finally approved by No vember 1. Compiling of the final figures la underway. Members of the budget committee, composed of O. O. Alenderfer, chair man, Fred Wahl, George Alford, and the county court, said that the budget "in the main would be the same as last year." Provision In the budget Is made for absorption of deficits In the budget clue to agitation and commissary ex travagance. The deficit amounts to 143.000, in round figures. One of the chief problems of the budget committee was to provide for county office operation, handicapped by the "economy" of the last budget committee, when It arbitrarily cut the "fixed overhead" of county offices. making it Impossible to keep within the budget figures. The county commissary caused an outlay of more than 914,000, when food waa dispensed practically to "all comers" last winter. The turmoil trials also dented the county exchequer, particularly tthe changes of venue trials granted L. A. Banks and E. H. Fehl. The proceed ings exhausted the circuit court, sheriff's office, and clerk's office funds. The 1934 'budget, the committee ssld. was "compiled on economy, con sistent with sound business." 1 Presides At Trial ( M Wilhelm Buengei It presiding of ficer at the trial of five men scout ed of letting fire to the German Reichstag building last February.

F E (Continued from Page One) Mrs. Martin In the episode, whtch oc curred in front of the "Dally News" office. ' Mrs. Martin, on -he stand in her own behalf, admitted she wielded the lash and "endeavored to strike Hill In the mouth as sauarelv as I could." She maintained, however, she was "orderly" "and acted "to defend her honor, and publicly resent an InsuU given." She added she horsewhipped the editor to "protect my husband. and prevent bloodshed." but that her recollections or the affair was "slight ly hazy." as It had "been a hard day." She testified she had lived In Medford since February, 1929. Wit neases for the defense, from Reno. Nev., were barred from testifying by a court ruling, which held the evi dence should be confined to the ac tual assault. To Weigh Provocation. The court ruled that in passing sentence, it would weigh alleged prov ocative matters, but' they had no place In the trial. Articles written and published by Hall were Intro duced as evidence by the defense, to this end, but were excluded by the court, on the ground that the only thing the Jury was to decide was whether or not the crime charged had been committed. Hall on the stand as tho final state witness, testified that Pitch took him by the arm. when he left the News, and Mrs. Martin approached htm wit!, the whip. Hall testified he did not know for "certain" Mrs. Martin was "waiting for him" until the assault occurred. Mrs. M art In. with her mother, fatn er and husband, were In court when the verdict was returned. They re ceived It calmly. The defendant counselled frequently with her attor ney, W. E. Phlpps, in the conduct of the case. GETS UNDER WAY C. H.

Fred Wahl. cashier of the bank, and William Lyd lard, a depositor, will be called as state witnesses. Brown la scheduled to be the only witness In his own behalf. He la rep resented by Attorneys T. J. Inrlght and W. E. Phlpps. Circuit Judge H. D. Norton ordered Brown to trial late yesterday, follow ing the Interposing of continuance motions by Brown's counsel, on the grounds that Glen R.
