STILL A RADICAL
IN' PRISON CELL
Tells Visitors Wife Will
'Name 150 Crooks Who
Railroaded Me' Banks
Cheerful, LaDieu Useful
Bitterness still rankles in the heart
of Earl H. Fehl, serving four years In
state prison for his part in the JacK
, son county billot theft a year agJ.
and he Is regarded by prison authori
ties as a radical, while other prisoners
lrom Jackson county have come to be
agreeable inhabitants of the "Bii:
hoiwe," according to Deputy Sheriff
Ed Leach and County Jailer Fred Kelly
who have returned from Salem. After
accompanying a group of prLsonjra
north the two officials spent most of
Washington's birthday in the prison,
which they described yesterday as a
t wonderfully well conducted institu
tion, where all prisoners (Including
Jackson county's contribution) are
well fed and wisely cared for.
The attitude of Fehl, they declared
yesterday as an exceptional and dan
gerous one, which will not aid him In
getting paroled.
"I'm getting by here," they quoted
him as saying, "and I'm coming back
to Jackson county as soon as I st
out and send the 150 crooks, who rail
roaded me through, up here." They
also quoted the ex-county Judge as
telling them he wasn't at all glad to
see them, in spite of tneir menaiy
salutation, and adding that "Mrs. Fehl
will be home soon to start her can
Tass of the county, at which time,"
he decelared, "she will name the 150
crooks."
Fehl was found handling a mop in
the new cell 'block, a building which
resembles a modern Industrial plant,
Kelly stated yesterday, except for the
fact that the expansive windows are
well barred.
Kelly told the former county of
ficial, "your attitude Is all wrong."
and Leach talked to him the better
part of a half hour Fehl was also bit
ter against the Kiamatn counxy jury,
that returned a verdict of guilty
gainst him m 13 minutes.
Prison officials said that Fehl's pris
on pal was Roy DeAutremont, who has
an adjoining ceil. ueAutremom
erving life, for his confessed part in
the Slaklyoua Tunnel murders and
train robbery of ten years a$o. Feni
Is engaged in mopping a cell diock,
and has calned some weight.
U A. Banks, local agitator, serving
life for second degree murder, and is-
soclated with Fehl in the Jackson
county "uprising." greeted Kelly and
Leach In a pleasant manner. They
i conversed only for a minute, as Banks
r wjl. en route to the dining room. The
prisoner was In a Jovial a mood as his
surroundings warranted, and aired no
fancy grievances. Banks Is employed
In the prison laundry.
J. Arthur LaDieu, former business
manager for Banks. Is employed In
the deputy warden's office, and Is
described, "as very useful, and a mod
el prisoner with trusty privileges." La
Dieu Is rumored as slated for a parole
nex'. summer. At one time, he Is said
to have gone to the local state police
station, to admit his role In the bal
lot thefts." but was persuaded to hold
his tongue."
Walter J Jones, former mayor of
Rogue River, serving four years, for
Tote-steallng. Is employed as a door
man In the prison machine shop.
Jones manifested no bitterness, and is
apparently accepting prison life philo
sophically. Imprisonment has not dimmed Tom
L. Brecheen's interest in politics, and
that is all he would talk about, whin
Kelly and Leach visited him. 6ome
of the democratic appointments !n
this state failed to please the former
i Ashland resident and he told Kelly.
"we'll have to something about It."
He was reading the Mail Tribune when
the Jackson county officers arrived.
Earl Hanscom. who was sent vp
following a tragic fight out side the
Eagle Point dance hall, the officers
also found looking fine.
Prison officials said that all the
Jackson county prisoners were "be
having themselves, and causing no
trouble."
All traffic on the Pacific highway
will be halted at Mt. Sexton, eight
miles north of here, Sunday after
noon when state police and the Ore
gon National Guard dedicate a monu
ment of Southern Oregon granite to
the memory of Burrell M. Baucom, a
fallen comrade,- of this cltu.
Baucom was killed July 1, 1033, by
John Alvln Bowles and Harry Barrier
when he stopped them for questioning
concerning a stolen car they were
driving. They were later sentenced
to life Imprisonment In the state
penitentiary.
On the spot where Baucom was
shot down now stands the monument
and a bronze plaque on which is su
perimposed Baucom'a badge, his Na
tional Guard battalion Insignia and
an inscription worded by Superin
tendent Charles Pray of the state po
lice: "In memory of Burrell M. Baucom.
an officer and soldier; brave of heart,
sincere of purpose, and faithful to
trust, who fell here July 1, 1933, In
performance of duty, this tablet la
Inscribed by his fellow men of the
Oregon State Police and Oregon Na
tional Guard."
Participating In the program will
be all state police officers of district
3, about 35 In all, headed by Captain
Lee Bown of Med ford and by Super
intendent Pray; all National Guard
units of southern Oregon, commanded
by Major-General George A. White,
and several military and political fig
ures. Baucom 's widow, sister and
father will attend.

tax commission, or one of Its auditors,
on or before April 1, 1934.
Blank returns have been mailed to
all who filed a return for the yenr

many more persons will be liable for
returns and these new taxpayers
should write to the state tax commis
sion at Salem for return blanks, or
secure them from an auditor of the
commission. The fact that a person
does not receive a blank does not re
lieve htm of the penalties Imposed
for not filing a return when one Is
due.
