Electa A. Fehl, Indicted for crimi
nal libel for the circulation during
the primary campaign of an alleged
malicious and slanderous pamphlet
entitled "Black Criminal Plot Ex
posed," will be arraigned In circuit
court Monday morning at 9:30
o'clock. May Murray and E. Xj. Pitch,
Indicted on the same charge, will also
appear at the same time. Mrs. Pehl
Is at liberty on 1000 bonds furnished
by her mother and motber-ln-law.
May Murrey Is also free on bonds.
Fitch has been detained In the coun
ty Jail since last May.
It Is also expected that the date
of trial will be set Monday for an
early date.
The pamphlet further claims that
claim was written by Earl H. Fehl
from a state prison cell, where he Is
serving four years for ballot theft
conviction, attacked the courts, state
police, and jury system, and charged
that Fehl was "railroaded" to the
penitentiary, and named by Inference
Chief of Police McCredle, Attorney
T. J. Enrtpht, and Jesse Thomas of
Ashland, former financial banker and
friend of Fehl, as having guilty
knowledge of the vote stealing.
The pamphlet furthed claims that
a "master mind" plotted Fehl's con
viction. The lndietment, returned by the
grand Jury of which Floyd Ross of
Central Point was foreman, based the
true bill upon the above allegation,
and the paragraph which read:
"Jackson county spent 965,000 in
the ballot theft trial, which money
was used largely In the bribery of
witnesses and Juries and handling the
courts."
TO BUILD PLANTS
WASHINGTON, July 14. 3V
ployers have been told by government
officials that many labor troubles
could be avoided by moving their
plants to rural communities where
the workers could engage In part-time
farming.
This Is one phase of the broad pic
ture of econoralo and social planning
being eketched In various depart
ments at a time when the nation is
beset with labor strife necessitating
strong federal mediation efforts.
Officials aald many factories al
ready had moved from cities to Til
lages and that the employes were
taking up small garden plots on
which they were raising home food
stuffs and chickens. Indications are,
one official added, that the factory
movement may Increase, with a re
sultant greater economic stability.
In the last decade good highways,
use of automobiles and busses, to
gether with construction of electric
power lines, have led an Increasing
number of workers from cities to the
suburbs. In msny Instances factories,
finding adequate transportation facili
ties available, have followed eult,
In times of depression, the Soman,
following the example of other an
cient nations, reduced the amount of
gold and silver in their coins without
lowering the face value.
CUT DOWN GRAIN
CROPS IN EUROPE
LONDON, Eng., July 14. (AP)
Heat and drought, which have blis
tered the fields of Europe are com
bining to reduce this year s grain
crop sharply, according to reports
from almost all regions
Light, scattered rains recently have
Improved prospects slightly, and In
some nations have quieted the fears
of food shortage next winter. But
generally It was held by agricultural
experts the rains came too late to
bring the grain yield up to normal.
Spain Js the only nation offering
optimistic crop reports. While Euro
peans elsewhere were praying ior rain
the Spanish farmers started harvest
ing the biggest wheat crop In the
nation's history.
In Italy farmers were handicapped
by excessive rains last fall and this
spring. It was followed by the long
summer dry spell. The Italian crop
Is cut further by a slight reduction
in acreage.
In France, too, weather has un
favorable, but scattered rains recent
ly are expected to benefit late crops
to some extent.
Germany reports one bright spot,
east Prussia, where, according to ag
ricultural experts, the grain yields
will be about normal. But hot and
dry weather continue In other parts
of the relch and In some sections a
shortage of wheat is in prospect.
For many peasants in tne uanuoe
basin the drought meant positive dis
aster. It was reported several Hun
garian fatrmers, ruined by crop fail
ures, committed suicide.
Russian official statements In the
last fortnight said grain crops will
be as good as last year despite tne
spring drought.
