Jean Connor, bright boy of Pinehurat," vice-president and par liamentarian of the aclf-styled "Good Government Congre&B," and one of the leading notaemakera of that late organization, now on parole for hi contested part In the ballot thefta, la tn economic stress. Xola M. Smith, welfare worker of Harney county, has advised the coun ty court by letter that Connor and his wife, slater, and mother-in-law haw applied for relief. The welfare worker cites the Oregon law that Connor has not been a resident of Haniey county a sufficient length of time to receive aid there and that a pauper shall be cared for by the county from whence he hailed. The communication asked what Jackson county Intended to do about it. , The district attorney's office ad vised Harney county to take up the matter with Circuit Judge George r. Cklpworth of Eugene, who paroled Connor to Attorney Herman von ficbmals of Burns, Attorney von ftchmals, the letter states, Is now 111 but as soon as he U able the welfare worker will hold a' conference with hi in. Connor was sentenced to two-year term in state prison, and paroled, with the condition he stay out of Jaokson county for one year. The court In passing sentence lec tured Connor on the dangers of his ' agitating proclivities, and advised falra , to refrain therefrom In the future. , The district attorney's office says that embarking on a matrimonial venture, during a period of parole Is sot allowed, and subjects the paroled party to a revocation of the parole, If the court sees fit. Connor was not married when paroled, and has evi dently become a family man since. A few weeks after arriving in Har ney county, Connor requested that he be pardoned so he could take up a homestead In Harney county. No action was ever taken on the plea.

In Its new, broadcast reported that a lea going tug chrlitened "Roosevelt," dur ing a etoxm had rammed a wharf Sunday, and nimble Imaginations Im mediately reported that "President Roosevelt had been hurt." The ru mor started In the country, but was promptly aquelohed by cltlsens who heard the radio correctly, and main tained It wae a tugboat and not the nation's chief executive who was hurt. Sunday morning it was widely re ported that Ed a. Brown, well-known resident, had died from Injuries sus tained In a minor auto accident Fri day.

He was 73 years old. He was health commissioner here In 1019, going to Portland later to ac cept a position as medical examiner at the United States veterans' bu reau there. William Redanta, a native of Thur lngen, Germany, and a character known and loved by many southern Oregon 1 arts during the past 30 years he had resided In Spencer Gulch, near Jacksonville, died last night at the sanitarium in the pioneer town, a stroke of paralysis ending his col orful career shortly before he reached his 86th birthday.' And before he had found "long hoped for" gold In Spen cer Gulch. During the month he had spent in the sanitarium the walls had come to echo with his quaint and rollick ing German songs, which only death could silence. He had lost his eye sight number of years ago, but never bis sense of humor. Aa a boy of 17 Redantz left Ger many with another youth, headed for England on a boat with but seven dollars between them. He landed some time later in Baltimore. After spend ing some time in the east, he came to Eugene, Ore., then on to Jack sonville, where he took up a home stead In Spencer Gulch. He was a carpenter by trade and the swing of his hammer was ever accompanied by song. To visit his friends, living on the outskirts of the city to the east, he often walked two and a half miles, arriving In "fine fettle" and ready j to tell some "good tales."

(AP) Illinois today abolished Its state tax on property, which last year was 60 cents on each 9100 of assessed valuation. Revenues from property will be replaced next year by the two per cent retail sales tax. "The elimination of the state tax lifts a burden of approximate ly $36,000,000 from the taxpayers in 1934." said Governor Henry Horner. "Thus Illinois for the first time In 116 years has been able to re lievo real estate and personal pro perty of the stat tax' than 30 years and his hair hung In becoming lines about his shoulders, which projected far above those of the average man.

(AP) A marked decrease In attendance was noted here today aa Oregon teachers assembled for their 34th annual con vention ot the Oregon State Teachers' association. Financial Inability of the Instruct ors to come to Portland was the main reason for a falling off In representa tion compared with previous years, since many school wsrranta remained uncashable and many schools either have closed or shortened their terms so drastically teachers cannot afford to travel.
