FINAL SUMMONS 10 ,?smes B. Blorah, widely known and long time business man of this city, and owner of the American laundry, died at Oie Sacred Heart hospital ahortly after 11 o'clock last sight. Death waa due to pneumonia and tta complication, after two weeka' Illness. News of his psaslng cornea aa a shock to a wide circle of frlenda and acquaintances. A full obituary will be published In the Monday edition of The Mall Tribune. i 3 PORT SLANTS -hu Pan' Tommy Hitchcock, Jr., apparently la slipping from the spot In the aporta limelight he shared with Babe Ruth, Jack Dempaey, Bobby Jones, Bill Tlldan, Helen WUle and Paavo Kurml In those glamorous post-war days. The tumbling of Hitchcock from 10-gosl eminence, the lofty position he occupied since 1933, very likely marka the end of his playing career. Serious Injuries kept him Inactive laat year and It la doubtful if he will participate In ohamplonahlp play again. Hla career, beginning at the age of 13 when he played hta first real polo, haa been replete with action and adventure. . At 10 he appeared In tournament play for the first time and helped his team win both the national Jun ior and sonlor champlon&hlpa at Nar ragansett Plor, R. I. Just as a triumphant career of mullet swinging seemed to be unfold ing aliead of the boy wonder. America entered the war and Interrupted his fforta on the polo field. Hitchcock Joined the air force and bad the honor of being the youngest American aviator to destroy an en emy plane. He allot down two planes and was thrice decorated before he himself was forced down In enemy territory with a bullet In his hip and his plane out of control. Alter months In the hospital and prison eampa, he escaped Into Switzerland. Discharged In 1019. he waa back In his old polo form In a short time Be played abroad, in England and on the Riviera In 1030. In 1931 England held the old West chester cup when the United States called upon her to defend the Inter nstlonal trophy. The Amerlcsn teem wsa composed of Devereux Mllbum t bsck. Watson Webb at No. 3, Hitchcock at No. 3, and Louie Stod dard at No. 1. Aa a result of the American victory, all four members of the team were elevated to 10gosl rating In 1033. Over the ycers from 1923 to 1933. Hitchcock played probably the most ensatlonal polo of any man In the history of the game. In lnternstlonal matches, particularly did hla game rise to great heights. Por a time, partly due to hla ex periences In ths war, Hitchcock's health was not of the beet. But he simply would not atsy off the polo fields. In 1934. stimulant were need ed to keep him going In the cup mstc.hea with England. There was something about his reckless riding snd terrific hitting mst caught the fancy or the crowd. 1 He had the natural gift of showman-1 ehlp. without conscious effort on his part to practice It. Unlike many of our sports champ Ions, his path of glory waa no Ion, hard grind. Ills name helped him there. Polo waa In the very air he breathed aa a youngster. Hla father before him waa an International polo player. The eenlor Hitchcock orga.t lrl and played on the first Amerlcsn International polo team.

The street haa been fenced off around the sag and precautions are being taken In other place where street have been under mined. Aa yet the city council haa been unable to prevent miners from digging under the streets by a rul ing from the state supreme court. The highway dppartmnet Is also with out authority to bring to a stop fur ther excavatlona which endanger traf fic. Other properties on which cave-Ins have occurred are the Johnson prop erty near the old Catholic church, where buildings are an Id to have been thrown at precarious angles as the ground settled, and the Dave Dorn property.

A high tide of activity surged over the year-end, and it la now leveling off under the Influence of an ex pected seasonal business Increase. Cold weather and heavy snows In many sections deprived retailers of some trade. In Chicago an especially sharp reversal waa Indicated, and Kansaa City merchants reported a 4 per cent decline from the corres ponding week In 1934. Bitter cold tn Texsa caused millions of dollars loss to stockmen and vegetable growers. Reports from construction, steel and automobile centers were most heartening of trade guides. Construction contracts for the first half of this month were 25 per cent over the December dally avernge with residential work leading the van. Alterations claimed most atten tion of workers. SAN FRANCISCO Pacific const lumber snips, ahead of last year, fell moderately during the week. Bank statements showed a general level of business 14 per cent above a year ago.

Master Andrews in troduced E. O. Harlan, chairman of the Oregon Milk Control board. Using a number of graphic charts that showed how Oregon dairymen were faring under the present law, Mr. Harlan made a convincing dem onstration of what the milk law has done in the way of recovery in the dairy buslneu.

Just prior to the sdvent of the milk law; these and other show ings were made and they elicited In teresting comments from Grangers present. The fact that Rny GUI, state mas ter, had spoken favoring the milk control at the hearing held In Salem yesterday when the Honeyman bill was under consideration, was com n.ented upon favorably by Master Andrews and Chnlrman Harlan. A meeting will be held in the Medford Chamber of Commerce rooms Hn turd ay evening, and Ashland and Medford milk dealers and producers will meet with board represent a Uvea. Mr. Harlan la accompanied by G. M. Hafenbrack of the Portland office. 4 E , WASHINGTON. Jan. 26. (AP) An Indication that the supreme court had reached a decision on the legislation suspending gold payments was seen today by observers In the fact that the nine Justices did not hold their regular weekly conference this afternoon.

A decision could have been reached then. When it will announce an opinion was known only to members of the court. It Is generally expected on February 4. Don't put thlnta off, put them over.
