MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREO ON. WKDNFSDAY, FEBRUARY 13. IMS PAGE THREE DiViSiON OF FEHL FUND TO BE HEARD NEAR APRIL FIRS! By stipulation In open court be tween counsel for all litigant, the trial o( Nledermeyer, Inc.. against E. H. Fehl. Electa A. Fehl, and Corinthla Stailey. on an Interpleader for adjudication of money awarded the Fehls In a supreme court de cision will be -Held, "aa near the ' first, of April as possible and con venient." It was further stipulated that the Fehls. through counsel, file within 10 days answers to the various cross complaints in the case. This action was taken following a morning of legal argument before Circuit Judge Carl Wimberly of Douglas county, who urged taking of testimony to which Attorneys H. Von S-Jhmalz and George R. Rhoten dissented on the grounds that sum mons and complaints had not been legally served upon Earl H. Pehl and that further time was required. The stipulation concerned only the Nledermeyer, Inc., case, and taking of testimony on the claims of Jesse B. Thomas of Ashland for $1700. loaned to Fehl, .was Btarted. Though a court order was Issued, giving Fehl the privilege of appear ing at the hearing today, he did not avail himself of the opportunity of a slight respite from state prison. The court expressed a desire for a speedy disposition of the case. Attorney George M. Roberta, repre senting Nledermeyer, Inc., informed the court, "our position Is that of a stakeholder. We have the money, and are ready to pay, but desire to know who to pay It to, and how much." Attorney E. E. Kelly stated: "It was my understanding that the ans wer to my claim would be withdrawn and Its Justness admitted, but I come Into court and find such Is not the CHse. This information was given to me following a talk with Attorney Von Schmalz last week. I represented Fehl In the original action, and carried It to the supreme court on an ppeal, largely on money out of my own pocket. I secured a reversal and then the Fehls fired me as their attorney. In an effort to get out of paying." The Kelly claim is for $2000 for legal services. "I do not think Colonel Kelly has any right to reveal a confidential talk I had with him," Attorney Von Schmalz said in reply. 1 Counsel for the Fehls said they had been handicapped by the "In carceration of Fehl" and "have hopes he will be released In time to appear at the trial, and give evidence freely and without restraint." Jackson county was given the right to include In its claim the cost bill In the trial or Fehl for ballot theft. Notice was received this morning from Judge Sklpworth of Lane coun ty fixing the cost of the Klamath county trial at $3974.85. The county also hns "a claim for unpaid taxes against Fehl.

(Associated Presa Photo) CORONER'S JURY PROBING CRASH ON WEST UN (Continued from page one) lng them up. Barrtck stated that he thought, however, that Carroll was perfectly capable of driving his car. Mrs. Hansen, looking tired and wcrn, was called to the stand, and testified that she was traveling slowly at the time of the accident, and that when the Carroll car came upon hers from behind there was no horn sounded. She remembered little of the actual crash, she told the Jury. Her father-in-law, Ben Hansen, waa also called and reviewed what he re membered of the crash. Chief of Police Clatous McCredie also appeared and testified that the rear light of the Hansen machine was burning when ho bested It after the crash: He described the position of the two cars, and gave a detailed account of the marks found on the scene and the relative positions of the two cars at the time of impact and after. Verne Shangle, photogrnpher, was called upon to exhibit to the Jury flash-light pictures taken shortly after the accident, showing the smashed cars. t H. D. Kern. Mrs. Stone, Mrs. C. Q Smith, and others who heard the crash, were called and gave their testimony. Two small boys, Bob Walker and Don Minear, both 14, were called, and testified that they had been within a block of the scene when the accident occurred. They '. both stated that the Carroll car had passed them seconds before, travel ing fast towards .Jacksonville, and that thev had remarked upon the speed. They said that the Hansen car was traveling so slowly that Mi near at Hrst thought that It was parked. The possibility of any action being taken against Carroll will rest upon the findings of the Jury. SLANTS bv Petri Things in the boxing game have reached a fine state if promoters find it necessary to dig Into the past and resurrect the ancient Lull Angel Firpo as an opponent for Champion Max Baer. Reports have It that the onetime "Wild Bull of the pampas" Is return ing to tills country next month on the strength of promises of fistic engagements. The promoters who hold an option on his ring services will look him over in the gymnasium and decide whether or not be is fit to fight again. What the promoters expect to see in the gymnasium workouts I can not guess. Firpo cannot possibly look worse than he did in training ses- SOME rONVF.SIENT NO SOOT NO SPARKS NO ODOR NO tt.lNKER DEFENSE RESTS slons when he was in his prime. Never making any pretense at box ing, his only weapon was a power ful right fist used in club fashion and his remarkable ability to absorb punishment. The passing years very likely have robbed him of both as sets. Firpo Is 36 years oldv.and is sup posed to have pared his weight down to 212 pounds by training in the mountains near Buenos Aires for a year. X Fltz Hid It, But! They'll try to tell you that age doesn't mean a thing and as an ex ample point out that Bob Pitzslm mons was 35 when he won the world's championship. Imagine trying to compare Ftrpo with Fltzsimmons in any light at all) If the promoters decide that Firpo still can fight, the big bulld-up will get under way. it's not a new stunt, in fact it Is one of the promoter's oldest Rtand-bys. Firpo benefited by Just such a trick when they worked It on the 40-year-old Jess Willard to pave the way for & bout with the "Wild Bull" in 1932. In fact, they worked It so well that the fight drew over $400, 000. Furthermore, it made, possible the dramatic Dempsey-Firpo bout for Firpo earned the right to a title bout when he stopped the giant Willard In the eighth round. That bout between Dempsey and Firpo was one of the most spectacu lar in ring history. To this day many witnesses feel that Firpo should have been awarded the championship In stead of being counted out. . Pcmpsey Turned It Down! They insist that many mpre than the legal allowance of 10 seconds passed before Jack Dempsey climbed or was pushed back into the ring after Firpo had knocked him through the ropes. Too, they claim Jack should have been disqualified several times in that wild second round when he punched the South Ameri can a number of times before the latter had regained his feet. Not long ago an effort was made to bring Dempsey and Firpo togeth er in a return bout. Jack wisely would have no part of the scheme. His answer waa, "No ono wants to see a pair of fat old men maul each other around the ring Just because they happed to put up a great fight a dozen years ago."

What seems to have happened la that Mr. Roosevelt added two asso ciate (non-voting) members to the board for the purpose of the cigar ette code announcement. Actually the board divided two to two on the code, with Williams not voting. Oth erwise the question would never have come before the president in the form it did. He functions as umpire only when the board cannot agree. The two non-voting associates are Messrs. Black well Smith and Leon i Henderson. They never voted on any- j thing previously and probably will j not again. All of which Indicates that a ma- 1 Jority may be a matter of viewpoint ! and not necessarily a matter of votes The presidential flea has bitten Huey Long hard. It has made a dif ferent man of him. You can sea the obvious effects of political malaria In his new walk and talk. Gone Is his swagger, his Kingflsh stride. He forgets himself and shouts in debate once in a while, but other wise is as dignified as George Wash ington himself. His radio style is new also. Instead of customary col uoquial affectations of speech, he communes publicly with Aristotle Plato. This studious dignity Is much dull er than the old Huey, but the Demo- j cratlc leaders are finding It makes him easier to handle. For instance, his presentation of the resolution to investigate Chairman Farley was not strong enough to make even Floor Leader Robinson angry (Incidentally, Huey did not have much on the chairman-general in the resolution and It will never bo adopted by the senate. The only color Huey had left the other day was an unexplained red mark on his forehead and two body guards. The labor crowd Is ceralnly getting even with Mr. Roosevelt for all the headaches he caused them on the auto and cigarette code. This current conflict over govern ment relief wages is being carried on publicly aa an argument between the White House and the senate, hut everyone knows the senate opposition Is being Inspired by the A. F. of L. leaders. The senate is' one place where the labor lobby holds the upper hand. This is because most of the strongest senators are pro-labor (Norrls. Borah, Wagner). The situation is different in the house. For that reason, Mr. Roosevelt will win out In the end, no matter what the senate docs. The house will stand by him and force the senate Into line. There are two good sides to the prevailing wage argument. . No one disputes the White House contention that relief Jobs should be made less attractive than private Jobs. The trouble comes over testimony given by Admiral Peoples privately In the Glass committee. Senators un derstood him to say that the govern ment plana to pay no more than 50 a month to anyone. The new dealers say that ts not true. But If you take the relief money total and divide It among the 3.500.000 workers over a year, It would work out at about that figure (allowing a reasonable amount FOBD.V- improveme STUDY the list of 1935 Ford V-8 Truck improve ments at the right. Then re member that Ford aod only Ford gives you the 80-borse-power V-8 engine, with its 4-cyllnder economy. Remember that Ford gives you the reli able full-floating rear axle. Re member that the copper-lead con necting rod bearings that resist burning out are a Ford development. No other truck, regardless of price, matches the combination of features offered by the Ford V-8.

A safe compromise would be to write the 150 or some similar limlta- i tlon into the relief bill and also au-! thorlze the payment of the prevailing wage. This would force the govern-' ment to stagger employment. No one ! wants to do that for political reasons. ! Locals To Klamath Falls D. G. Tyree and ! J. J.
