DIE ON GALLOWS
IS
SAN FRANCISCO. March 3. Pi
George Hall, who directed one of the
strangest kidnaping the west has
seen, muat die on the gallows for the
slaying of a policeman.
A year ago HaII was captured at
Yreka after he had kidnaped a cus
toms Inspector at Seattle Heights.
Wash., had trussed and gagged him
and stuffed him In the rear compart
ment of an automobile, and then had
fled with him through Washington
and Oregon to the vicinity of the
Oregon-California line, where the or
flcer was handcuffed to a tree.
A traffic policeman and a deputy
sheriff were shot to death by Hall,
and the latter was wounded when a
posse closed in on him at Yreka after
a farmer had released the custom.?
officer, who spread the alarm.
Tho California supreme court ruled
Wednesday that Hall, who appealed
from the conviction, must hang f"r
the killings.
"The evidence discloses a ruthless
and cold-blooded homicide." the court
said, "Justly characterized by the Jury
as murder in the first degree."
The supreme court held, in deny
ing the appeal, that the lower court
had acted properly in refusing to ad
mit Hall's plea of "not guilty by rea
son of Insanity," in addition to the
"not guilty" plea.

convict, at the Kansas City union

DENTAL SURVEY
WILL BE TAKEN
FOR SO. OREGON
In cooperation with the U. S. Pub
lic Health Service, a dental survey
will shortly be conducted in south
ern Oregon, by the Southern Oregon
Dental Society. It was announced this
morning by Dr. Burt L. Lageson,
president. The U. S. Public Health
Service Is carrying on a nation-wide
survey, and in each state a commit
tee has been appointed to do the
work. The state committee has ask
ed the Southern Oregon Dental Soc
iety to take care of southern Oregon
in this regard, and Dr. Lageson has
appointed a committee to work out
the details, composed of Dr. B. R.
Elliott, chairman; Dr. J. S. Johnson,
and Dr. C. C. Goldsberry.
The survey will be confined to
school children, and the local com
mittee has been assured of complete
cooperation by Superintendent E. H.
Hedrlck. It Is expected that all den
tists in Medford will assist the com
mute so that the survey can be
thoroughly done and be completed
without unnecessary delay. This will
entail a certain amount of time as
each child will be given a thorough
and complete examination.
Upon completion of the local sur
vey, all the records will be forwarded
to the U. S. Public Health Service,
Washington, D. C, where they will
be properly tabulated.
It Is believed by the local com
mittee, that the survey will be of
great value also to the parents of
the children, as defects may be
found which may be detrimental to
the child's health. Naturally there
will be no charge for the work, as
far as the dentist are concerned,
and everyone is asked to cooperate
to the fullest extent o that Med
ford's records may be forwarded to
Washington as soon as possible.
