Leave Lone Swan
In Ashland Park
ASHLAND, Ore., Aug. 17. ()
A fight to the death of two swans
a number of years ago, started the
decline of the swan family In
Llthla park here.
Now only one remains to glide
In solitary grace over the pictur
esque park ponds.
The big white birds were Intro
duced 10 years ago, but two of
them soon arched their necks and
hammered and drummed the life
from each other. The flock might
have recouped Its losses, but for
the aim of small boys throwing
stones toward "blessed events."

following statement concerning La
Batt's kidnaping:
"He was blindfolded and had been
continuously blindfolded since the
time he was taken. He wag left In
the vicinity of Forest Hill' village,
from where he took a taxi to the
Royal York hotel (where Hugh await
ed him).
"He was Immediately carried from
there, by his own friends, in a car
to London.
"At the time of his release he drove
between five and six hours, he thinks,
but his judgment Is that of a man
blindfolded.
"He also thinks the kidnapers were
killing time in the latter drive In
waiting for darkness.
At the time of his capture, he
drove around for a time which he
estimates at 13 hours. He was In
Ontario all the time. He has
knowledge of having passed over any
water. .
"For aom reason, those who took
charge of him failed to notify either
Toronto or provincial police.
No Hot Trull
"His arrival resulted In a lack of
co-opefation between the authorities
and his friends. There Is no hot trail
of the abductors. It Is most unfor
tunate that the police forces of both
the province and the city have been
very seriously handicapped In their
work by their Inability to secure com
plete control of the situation.
"Mr. LaBatt arrived at London at
3:45 a. m. today. In this office there
is no knowledge as to what financial
arrangements, If any, have been made
between the friends of the captured
man and the criminals. Whateever ar
rangement was made did not come
either from Hugh LaBatt or his ao
llcltor, Mr. Ivey.
"We are now clearly certain that
the contract made In Toronto waa .
genuine one. I might add that Mr.
LaBatt 's eyes were closed with ad'
healves and glasses drawn over the
tape. When let out of the car he
waa told not to remove either the
tape or the glasses .until the auto
had moved on."

Continuance of the hearing of Evan
L. Crow, held by the government for
alleged uttering and passing of &
forged postal order on a Boise. Ida
druggist, May 20 last, waa ordered
yesterday afternoon by U. 8. Com
missioner Victor A. Tengwald, upon
request of the United States attor
ney's office at Portland. Commis
sioner Tengwald was in the midst of
rendering hi findings when the re
quest waa filed by long distance tele
phone. The hearing will be resumed
next Monday at 10 a. m., with an
assistant United States attorney In
attendance.
Crow, whose entablements with the
law have dotted official records here
over a period of yeara, offered In
defense an alibi, through nine wit
nesses, five of them relatives. The
defense testimony Indicated that Crow
was in Grants Pass and thla city up
to the afternoon of May 24 last, and
it was contended that It was a "phys
ical Impossibility" for htm to be In
Boise, Ida., on May 26, when the gov
ernment charges the bogus money
order was passed.
Postal Inspector D. R. Freeman was
the sole government witness. He tes
tified that the Shanlko, Ore., post
office waa robbed May 17 ,and over
100 blank postal money orders stolen.
Inspector Freeman testified that the
drug store manager has positively
Identified a photograph of Crow aa
the man who passed the order. Sam
plea of the handwriting of Crow since
his last Incarceration in the county
Jail, were also offered by the govern
ment. The Inspector made It plain
that the government waa not accus
ing Crow of the Shanlko postofflce
robbery. This testimony was the ex
tent of the federal case, aa offered.
C. A. Crow, father of the defendant,
appeared as his attorney, and In his
first statement said, "We know where
the boy waa every day since his re
lease from the state prison, January
15 last."
James Nance, Gal Ice creek miner,
testified from a calendar record and
grocery store slips, that Crow and his
father were helping him build a
cabin at the mine, and that Crow
left the mine May 22, '.fter several
weeks.
Josephine Donohue of Merlin, an
aunt; Requa Crow, a cousin, and Mrs.
Smith, an aunt, testified that Crow
had been at their homes on the night
of May 22 and 23; had driven the
Donohue auto to Grants Pass for re
pairs, and to the funeral of a pioneer
Josephine county resident, on the two
dates, and on the afternoon of May
24 had been in Grants Pass, and In
the evening had come to this city by
4uto stage. t
C. A. Barnett, a clothing salesman
of Aahland, testified that he talked
with Crow in Grants Pass about May
24 he waa not certain of the date
and rode on the auto stage to this
city. Barnett said A. S. Rosenbaum,
Southern Pacific agent waa present.
He tried to find the railroad aide,
but was unable to locate him yester
day afternoon to verify his testimony.
Mrs. Ethel Crow, the mother, testi
fied that the defendant waa In this
city during the time, and verified the
testimony of other defense witnesses,
Kenneth Sutherland, 19, of this
city, testified that he recollected see
ing Crow In this city during Jubilee
week. Boyd Carr, Grants Pass bar
ber, who said he had known Crow nil
his life, testified he saw him In
Orants Pass May 34. Oolher testi
mony waa Introduced to show that
Crow waa In this city during Jubilee
week.
The commissioner, In his closing
review, stated that the movements
of Crow had been shown up to the
afternoon of May 24. The government
holds there is a lapse between that
date and Jubilee week.
Crow was remanded to tho county
Jail, under 2000 bonds, pending the
outcome of tho hearing.

ed unless the President "forces the
leaders of the textile Industry to sit

Workers."
He added that Oeneral Hugh John
son, NRA administrator, was "not
high enough up" to be able to "do

The story of the tragedy as told by

that the two boya had left home
about 9 o'clock on Buster's bicycle,
intending to go swimming or fishing
In Bear creek. After stopping in
town at the Mail Tribune to get cou
pons for the Craterian parade, the
boys continued out the South Pacific
highway to another dredge, but de
cided' to go to the dredge north of
town, and arrived there about 10
o'clock.
Toung Bagllen said they went to
the rear of the plant and took off
their clothes to go swimming. His
companion first wanted to dive off
the springboard from the bank, but
Instead took a raft out into the pool,
while Warren remained on shore.
Buster -dived off the raft, his com
panion said, and upon coming up
yelled, 'Help, Warren, the water's too
deep!" Young Baglien called for help,
but realizing his shouts were drown
ed by the noise of the dredge, ran
to the building and secured aid.
William Medley leaves besides his
parents one brother, John. Coroner
Perl stated funeral arrangements will
be made later.
