MEDPORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1934. PAGE SEVEN 221 AGE PENSION APPLICANTS FILE Up to this morning 231 applica tions for old age pensions have been filed with the county court, and the past week there nas been a decline In the number applying, it 1b esti mated that the final number will be close to the 250 mark, The county court, sitting as. the pension commission, is expected to make its first approvals by the end of next week ana snordy thereafter February payments of penslona will , start. . T,he amounts of allotments, under the pensions, owing to the limited funds of the county, will be below the maximum allowance of 930 per month. A recent ruling of the at torney general held that the pension should be paid, whether or not funds were available. The budget commit tee appropriated $5000 for the pur pose. This will bo used first and, w.hen exhausted, the county will have to find another fund. Payment of the old age pension is one of the chief problems confronting the coun ty court.- The legislature In passing the old age pension law made no provision for providing funds. Recent state and federal rulings have held that no person receiving a pension shall receive aid from other sources. The law was framed to eventually abolish the poor farm and centralize funds for relief. In California, at the present time, excess monies from ales tax receipts are being used to pay the old age pension In that ' state the minimum residence is 30 years, Instead of 18 years as the Oregon law provides. A number of local applicants have lived in the state and county all their lives. Others have moved to this county within the past two years after Jong previous residences in oth er counties. In several instances the applicant, though residing here, will receive pensions from other counties.

The wise-cracking Lee Tracy is seen In the starring role, as a flip young reporter on a Los Angeles dally, whose propensity for hard liquor causes htm to muff the biggest story of the year by sleeping peacefully through an earthquake. As suitable punishment, his editor demotes him to the humiliating post of "agony" column conductor. Tracy attempts to retaliate by giving the wildest advice that ever appeared In a newspaper column, witfl the result that he brings down upon his head the wrath of frantic mammas and wronged ladles and gets himself em broiled in several highly melodramatic situations, some of which develop comic and some, alas, highly tragic consequences. Pretty Sally Blane plays the sweet heart for whose sweet sake Tracy tries to worm his way out of the humiliat ing Job. A Mickey Mouse cartoon, a comedy, novelty and newsreel round out the program. Former Multnomah Official Suicides PORTLAND, Feb. 9. (AP) Joseph Bush, 69, former chief deputy county clerk of Multnomah county, shot himself to death at his home here last night as he sat before a mirror.

Wells last evening that he would be unable to raise the amount. HANGS SELF WITH NECKTIESJN CELL (Continued from page one) law that snapped Its talons on the desperado in Chicago last week and flung him Into a prison, cell here. Sankey's mode of cheating justice held no lures for Gordon Alcorn, a companion, seized in Chicago a day after Sankey. "I'll go into court and take mine that way." said Alcorn, who Is held In a cell close to that which had been occupied by Sankey. Alcorn also war to have pleaded guilty today, but an Inquest into Sankey's death may alter this plan. With Sankey's passing, the govern ment lost Its chance of definitely as certaining if the former Canadian, whose fancies led him to the tinseled honky-tonks and gaming tables of fashionable resorts In his hey-day, had any connection with the Lind bergh baby ktdnap-murder that stir red a nation. Sees Lindbergh Link. M. F. Klnkead, St. Paul. Ramsey county attorney, clung to the belief that Sankey had not been completely removed from the Lindbergh crime picture. He maintained that a mys terious telephone call to New Jersey, 10 days after Col. Charles Lindbergh'. first child was seized and killed, was msde by Sankey. This, together with notes and news paper clippings on the case found on the Sankey turkey ranch at Oann Valley led Klnkesd to believe the desperado might have been connected with that case. No notes were left by Ssnkey. who apparently had contemplated suicide last Saturday when he appeared moody, depressed and morose. At that time he paced nervously in his cell, guards saia. An hour before he was found dead he appeared in good spirits and sought to make arrangements to see his wife, Mrs. Fern Sankey. held in the county Jail in lieu of $35,000 bond, on a charge of conspiracy to kidnap, as a result of the Boettcher abduction. Guard Finds Body. The body of Sankey was found by Frank Ollmore, one of his two guards. When Ollmore returned from getting a headache tablet for Alcorn. San key's body dangled from the cell bar. Sankey had confessed to both the Boettcher and bohn kldnapings. Al corn had admitted the Boettcher ab duction. With Sankey's death, and Alcorn's Imprisonment, all of the gang behind the Boettcher seizure have been brough to Justice. Three "SPINNING" Perhaps you've never heard of "Spin ning" bread before but Its actually done in Fluhrer's New Spun Bread. Bring the family down some after noon or early evening and have look. companions now axe serving prison terms for the crime. Mrs. Sankey became hysterical when told of her hisband's death. "Why couldn't I have spoken to him? Why couldn't I have spoken to him?" she sobbed when Holton Dav enport, Sioux Falls, one of her at. torneys, and H. D. Brown, Oann Val ley, Buffalo county state's attorney, broke the new to her. Wife HvstericAl. She screamed for an hour In her oell before a trained nurse could quiet her. A physician was summoned to treat her. "She Is very nervous," Dr. S. A. Kellar, government physician, said later, "but it Is quite probable she will be all right." Mrs. Sankey was askM if she wish ed to have her children with her. Ethel, 15, and Orvllle, 8, were to ar rive here today. "I must, I must!" she cried. Did you wish them to start imme d'ately?" "No, no. Not the baby. Not now," VIBRANT ENERGY AT LOWEST COST Fot a better breakfast to morrow order Carnation Oats from your grocer to day. Quality supreme.
