WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. The Mel
lona are heading toward a run-in with
the RFC which mlgtit possibly
develop Into aa Interesting a scrap
as Henry Ford la having with General
Johnson.
It seems that officials of the Mel
Ion banks want to co-operate with
the administration, but not to the
extent of Issuing their preferred bank
etock to the administration.
Chairman Jesse Jonea of the RFC
baa been exerting Indirect pressure
on them, but they have been holding
off. They do not want to come down
to a direct Issue with the government
and are trying to find a sensible
way out. They may issue a certain
amount of preferred to their own
atochholdera and try to quiet Jones
In that way.
The question is whether Jones will
be quieted with anything short of
some stock in the Mellon banks.
Visions
The Mellon officials fear that If
the government gets stock In their
bsnks. It will try to run them. They
have visions of Jesse Jonea sitting
on their directing bank boards, and
hiring and firing aome of their bank
officials.
That is stretching the possibilities
beyond what Jones apparently has In
mind.
The government will hardly get
enough preferred stock in any bank
to enable It to exert control. Also,
It already has plenty of control now
over national banks In the matter of
examinations.
Purpose
"what. Jones is trying to do is to
get all banks to issue some preferred
stock so as to help put over the de
posit guarantee. Through this means
h. la sDreadlng cash around so the
smaller bBnks can easily come Into
the guarantee fund. The Menon
banks may not need the cash, but
aome smaller banks will be able to
us It.
Of corse thla step does Rive the
government a more Important nana
theoretically In the control of na
tional banks. Whether It gives any
further actual control la a matter
tor debate.
Texas Steercr
Jesse Jones Is a hard man to buck.
He usually gets hla way.. It some
times takes him a 'lov; while, but
If he ever dropped a desire bctore he
fulfilled It, Washington has never
heard of It.
He saya very little. He does not
like publicity and paya scant atten
tion to criticism. During tfie next
few months he will become a very
prominent figure because great pow-
ra havr. been lodged in nis revnai.
Ized RFC.
The Inside story of his original ap
pointment is now being told by his
friends. He la one of the few Hoo
ver appointees left In the govern,
ment.
Mr. Hoover had to appoint a Demo
erat to the RFC and asked Speaker
Garner (now vice-president, in case
vnu hadn't heard) to submit a list
of names. Garner did. His list con
talned one name that of Jones. Mr.
Hoover sent Game" word that he
wanted more names on the list. Oar
iter never replied. Jones got the ap
pointment. Mourning
TJie Democratic high command
felt blue about the election results,
more so than the public reports Indi
cated.
The LaOuardla result waa NOT
such a blow to General Farley aa
the combined results elsewhere. For
Instance. In Cleveland he had tried
to help the Democratic mayor, Mll
ler.. He telegraphed out there dur
" Ing the campaign: "Best wishes or
your success." Miller was defeated.
The prohibition returns In North
and South Carolina were similarly
disappointing because he had visited
the states and urged repeal only a
few days before the voting.
Lesion
The lesson behind that situation la
the name one learned by every na
tional ad mi nut rat Ion in modern poll
tin. Invariably the votera go counter to
personal off-year appeals from the
party in pot?r, Tou will recall Pres
ident Wilson's appeal for ft Demo
cratic coneress; Mr. Coolldge's futile
effort to help his friend Butler in
Massachusetts; Mr. Hoover's attempt
to save a Tennessee congressman
clv to him.
In thla cane, the Democratic mas
ter minds are thanking their stars
that Farley went no further on ft
limb than he did. Also that Mr.
Koosevrlt wisely kept himself out of
the picture ft much as possible.

Mis Llhliy Wurgaft, stewardess,
shock.
The plane was circling for altitude.
"It was foggy and I could not see
much," said Dr. Straumfjord. "I don't
know how long we had been In the
air, but It was not long until there
were two distinct Jolts.
"I had no sensation of falling, but
In a traction of a second, It seemed,
the plane crashed."
"One entire side of the ship was
crushed. Fire broke out immediately.
"I was thrown against the panel
behind the pilot seat, and the passen
ger In the third seat back of me," Dr.
Straumfjord related. "I grabbed for
Dr. Coffey but he waa limp. I took
him by the shoulders and tried to lift
him but I could not. In some way I
got out of the ship."
Stewardess Heroine
The heroism of Miss Wurgaft was
one of the outstanding memories of
the survivors. She and Co-Pilot
Woodworth, despite painful Injuries
and peril of their lives from flaming
gasoline, entered the burning cabin
several times to save the occupants.
It was more than two hours after
the crash In the Isolated canyon be
fore Woodworth and Hart could find
their way through the tangled under
brush to ft telephone to report the
accident. Ambulances could get no
closer than a mile from the plane. All
the survivors except Pelouze were able
to walk to the ambulances.

and then turn south. But five min
utes after it had left the local airport
it had crashed on Its side against ft
wooded hill.
Dr. Coffey and Dr. Straumfjord
were flying to Medford to direct some
surgical work.
Dr. Coffey was known throughout
the medical world for original contrl
buttons In surgical technique. Among
a number of important operations he
originated. Is the one in which the
con me of the channels from the kid

T IS KILLED
IN PLANE MISHAP
No change In the condition of Dr.
L. A. Saladc, who underwent another
operation at the Community hospital
early this morning, was reported by
the attending physicians.
While flames swept through the
United Airlines plane, fallen in the
mountains out from Portland, spelling
death for four persons and painful
injuries for other, last night, a group
of Medford people were feeling the
tragedy as acutely as many In Port
land, as they waited anxiously for
news from the northern city. In the
group were relatives of Dr. L. A. Sa
lade, gravely 111 at the Community
hospital, and his attending physicians,
Dr. R. W. Stearns and Dr. H. E.
Grcn, who summoned Dr. Coffey from
Portland at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, when Dr, Salade's condition
showed the necessity for a second
operation. Through the night the
physicians waited, watching the pa
tient, and listening hopefully for the
Indefinite reports coming from the
north, after announcement of an ac
cident had been made. ,
Not until 5 o'clock this morning
were they Informed of Dr. Coffey's
death, and required to make the very
necessary operation. Dr. Coffey a son
telephoned them at that time, tell
ing the tragic news, following receipt
of which the two physicians proceed
ed with the operation, which had
been delayed by several hours. The
condition of In. Salade was undeter
mined thla morning.
The first operation for acute ap
pendicitis was performed by Dr. Cof
fey early in the week. Dr. Salade
was apparently improving until yes
terday, when complications arose.
On the plans were two other pas
sengers, coming to Medford - E. J
Poweis and Floyd Hart, well-known
local business man and former war
ace, who despite injuries received in
the crash, assisted in saving others)
from the threatening flames. The I
pilot, Alfred W. Davis, who met with
sudden death, was also well known
here, where he spent his lay-overs on
the air route, stopping frequently at
the Hotel Holland. He was domi
ciled In Seattle, where he la survived
by ft widow and two daughters, Jac
queline and Maxlne. but spent mush
time In southern Oregon.
Bob Pelouze, among the Injured,
also had many friends In the Rogue
River valley, where he lived for a
number of years on the Palou? ranch
out from Eagie Point. He attended
the Medford high school and was a
member of the football squad.
No Information regarding Mr. Pow
ers, who was scheduled to leave the
plane in this city, could be obtained
at the local al rport this morn I ng.
but he was known to be coming to
Medford.
Other report of the accident re
ceived at the local airport, stated that
the companys' investigation made in
the north, showed that the plane left
the Portland airport under favorable
conditions.
Unexpectedly the plane, the Inves
tigation Indicated, ran Into a dense
fog. In an attempt to bring the
craft out of the fog zone, the pilot
struck the mountain.
Mrs. Floyd Hart was informed of
the ftocldent at S o'clock this morn
ing, when her husband telephoned
from Portland. To avoid frightening
her. however, he stated that there
had been ft "slight accident." and it
i waa not until dispatches from the
north were reported that she realized
i four persons had been killed in the
crash.
Mrs. Floyd Hart left this arternoon
bT motor for Portland, where Mr.
Hart will be detained for a while to
recover from injuries received in the
crash.

KIDNAPERS HINT DEATH
RICH SAN JOSE YOUTH
SAN JOSE. Cftl.. Nov. 10. (AP) 1
An anonymous telephone caller who
demanded payment of $40,000 "if you
want to see your boy alive again,"
started federal, state and local offi
cers today on an Intensive hunt for
kidnapers a few hours after the dis
appearance here of Brooke Hart, 22,
son of Alexander J. Hart, one of San
Jose's wealthiest merchants.
Young Hart, a recent graduate of
of the University of Santa Clara who
had Just been made a ppjtner of hi
father, left' his department store
shortly after 5 o'clock to go to a
nearby parking lot and drive to his
parents home.
burned beyond recognition as flames
greedily roared through the plane, and
only the heroic efforts of a 20-year-old
stewardess and the co-pllot kept
the other occupants of the ship from
a similar fate.
Brave Flames.
Braving the roar of the flames that
might at any time have Ignited the
ship's supply of gasoline, Miss Wur
gaft and Co-pllot Woodworth, de
spite his serious injuries, rushed back
to the plane time after time, drag
ging out the Injured occupants. They
saved all but the four before the fire,
with a crackling swirl, swept through
the cabin as through a blast furnace.
Then, white the stewardess remain
ed at the scene, caring for the in
jured. Woodworth and Hart, a pas
senger, battled their way through
heavy, stubborn underbrush two miles
to the nearest phone, where they com
municated with airport officials about
1:30 a. m.
Large details of police and two
ambulances slrened up the sky-line
road to the point nearest the crash,
and the Injured were carried down
through the underbrush and rushed
to a hospital here.
Took Air In Fog.
The plane took off from Swan
Island airport In a thick fog last
night at 10:30 p. m., the same swirl
ing fog that had prevented the land
ing of the passenger plane from Se
attle, and Davis had Instructions to
fly to The Dalles, up the Columbia
river east of here, where the Seattle
plane had landed, and where his ship
was to pick up the Seattle passen
gers before turning south.
A few minutes after the plane took
off persons at the airport heard a
crash in the hills to the west. Im
mediately they feared the plane had
cracked up, and their fears grew when
they failed to hear from the pilot at
the first regular Interval.
When the ship failed to reach The
Dalles on schedule time, searching
parties were hastily organized and
sent out to scour the hills north and
west of the city. Because of the
fog and of the dense underbrush
covering the hills, however, the
searchers met with no success until
Woodworth and Hart phoned the air
port. Because of the difficulty that Wood-
worth and Hart had In getting to s
phone and that police had In reach
ing the scene and getting back to
the road, he Injured persona were
forced to lie In the woods for five
hours or so before they were finally
brought to ft hospital.
Officials of United Air Lines aald
this was the first time that ft p'.ane
of the Pacific Air Transport company,
coast division of United Air Lines, had
crashed with resultant fatalities to
passengers. They aald a thorough In
vestigation of the tragedy would be
undertaken.

LOBE
TO
SALEM, Ore., Nov. 10. (AP) The
only remedy for the plight of the
public schools of the state so far has
been suggested for presentation to
the legislature. A surtax on Incomes,
averaging 3 per cent, will be pro
posed In a measure now being drawn
up by several house members. It waa
learned numerous house members
and senators would lend their names
to the bill.
Conferences with the state tax
commission and the state superin
tendent of schools .have been held
by O. Henry Oleen, representative
from Columbia county. He has been
busy drafting the proposal and It
was declared the surtax features the
school relief measure. Oleen has like
wise conferred on the matter with
Speaker Earl W. Bnell and other
leaders of the house as well as the
Interim committee on education. His
associates In the proposal were not
learned.
The surtax, which would be an ad
ditional income tax from the one ef
fective this year, calls for lower ex
emptions and a 1 to S per cent tax.
Should this be adopted about 70.000
more persona will be required to file
income tax returns and those now
paying the tax must make out two
distinct returns. It was estimated
the new tax would bring In about
1,000,000 annually.

LAWS FOR LIQUOR
L
Bar Old Time Saloon and
Keep Drinkers From Ex
cess Is Advice No Moral
Breakdown Seen by Green
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. (AP)
Labor's William Green sees a. need
for after-repeal laws that will bar
the old-time saloon and keep Im
bibers from buying more than they
can afford or more than they can
drink without getting drunk.
The president of the American
Federation of Labor does not, how
ever, fear any "moral breakdown"
among workers with the return of
spirituous beverages. He does expect
a "very great many" to be scratched
from unemployment rolls when the
liquor Industry gets under way again.
"Our experience during the days of
the open saloon," he said todny,
"ought to serve us well now. We
ought to apply these lessons we have
learned so that the abuses that grow
out of the sale of Intoxicating liquor
can be controlled.
"The laws and ordinances ought to
be severe, and then the power to
enforce them created and that power
exercised without fear or favor, free
from political Influence."
The responsibility for this regula
tion should devolve directly upon the
liquor seller. Green said, with re
vocation of license the penalty.
Green said that any estimate now
of the number who would be em
ployed through liquor legalisation
would be only a guess, but that it
would mean employment pick-up In
dozens of trades, ranging from bill
posters to lumberjacks. Ho plans a
statistical study on' this point.

ORDER SALE OF
BLACK CHANNEL
TO PAY CLAIM!
Findings of facts and conclusions of
Uw. filed today in circuit court,
award to Cecil W. Clements, $003.60,
to George O'Brien, $08.87, and to the
Economy Lumber company of this
city, $220.00, in their suit against the
Black Channel Mines, Inc. It is also
decreed that the property be sold to
satisfy the Judgments, and If suffici
ent funds are not thus realised, to
divide the same, proportionately,
among the litigants.
The awards to Clements and
O'Brien embody several claims for
labor, the one to the Economy Lum
ber company for material furnished
by them, and by Hubbard Brothers
and W. E. Alexander of this city.
A plea for Immediate execution of
Judgment was also filed.
The claims are for labor and sup
plies furnished last winter, and most
of the workers are men of families.
Secondary Hens aro scheduled to be
filed against the property.
During the Banks-Pchl agitation In
thla county, the Black Channel mine
and Its owner, F. A. Bates, became a
political controversial issue, second
only to the "Dahack case." The pro
perty is located on Foots creek, and
allegations were hurled that a "con
spiracy' was afoot to take the pro
perty away from the aged owner. Its
tangled affairs were further tangled
when L. A. Banks took a hand in Its
operation. Many men were hired and
none paid. Bates became entangled
with the law, and this feature was
also enlarged upon. Suite and coun
ter suits were filed. It became a
highly befogged question, that faded
with tho arising of serious felonies.
Since last spring, legal actions
pending have lain dormant, and the
court action yesterday Is tho first stop
