Enough food to b measured by the
ton haa been ordered for the Christ
ina banquet to be given by 3atea &

list of expected guests showed there
would be almost 1,100 children pres
ent. The attendance this year will
be more than three times that of any
similar Christmas party given for poor
children by the super-gTOcery firm.
Because of the large attendance,
there will be two servings. Children
from Med ford and vicinity will be
served at 13 o'clock, and those from
other sections of the county t 1:30.
Tickets will be provided the local
children and no one without a ticket
will be permitted to sit at the first
table, W. A. Gates said. This Is done
to avoid confusion.
Miss Lillian M. Roberts, American
Red Cross secretary In charge of the
guest list, announced today that 550
children already had been registered
for the Medford area and about 600
for the rural districts. Tickets, she
stated, were to be mailed today.
Miss Roberts arranged with Mr.
Gates today to send dinners to the
homes of needy children unable to
attend because of illness. Transpor
tation for those living close to Med
ford Is still needed. Mrs. Roberts said,
and asked for volunteers who can
assist.
The food list today showed these
Items: 750 pounos of turkey, 300
pounds of potatoes. 40 gallons of peas
200 pounds of cranberries, 200 loaves
of bread for dressing, 2,000 dinner
rolls, 75 gallons of milk, 200 big
pumpkin pies, 200 bunches of celery,
100 pounds of butter, 20 gallons of
olives and 2,000 Christmas cookies.
In addition to the banquet, each
guest will receive a saok of fruit and
candy. For the sacks 1.000 oranges
and 1,000 pounds of candy are re
quired. The dinner will be cooked In the
No. 1 Groceteria kitchen under the
supervision of Mrs. Uen McRae, Gro
ceteria chef who also prepared the
food list. Mrs. W. A. Gates and Mrs.

10 LEAVE CITY AFTER
SERIES OF ESCAPADES
Jututaro Toshl, 42, Japanese, was
today ordered to leave Medford before
sundown, by Police Chief Clatous Mc
Credle, following Yoshi's arrest last
night on a charge of disorderly con
duct. According to city police records.
Toshl has been a source of trouble
for some time In Medford.
Last night the proprietor of a local
Japanese restaurant called city police
and told them that Yoshi had tele
phoned them, warning them that he
was coming in to "get even" with
them for turning him in to police on
a drunk charge. Police went to the
restaurant and arrested him and Kay
Takao, 45. the moment they put in
an appearance.
Yoshl is the man who received le
vcre finger cuts when he deflected
the knife with which it was claimed
Myles Randall attempted to stab a
woman in a brawl several weeks ago.
Randall committed suicide in the
county Jail rather than return to the
state penitentiary for parole viola
tion, after being arrested on a charge
of assault growing out of the stab
bing fray. Takao was also at the
"party."
Takao, arrested Saturday night on
a charge of drunk and disorderly con
duct, was to have appeared in city
court Monday morning to face
charges, but failed to put In an ap
pearance. This morning, because of
a serious nose-bleed, he was unable
to appear, and was still In jail this
afternoon.

GRAND JURY FACES
FRESH ENIGMA IN
DEATH OFACTRESS
Wife of Dead Beauty's
Partner Saw Her in Molly
wood at 11 P. M., Sun
day Night Is Declaration
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19. yp) A j
new and baffling enigma confronted
Los Angeles grand Jurors today as
they sought to explain the strange ;
death of Thelma Todd, blonde film
com Mlc nne,
Mrs. Roland West, wife of the dead
beauty's close friend and partner, told
police she saw Miss Todd In Holly
wood at 11 p. m., Sunday night.
An early autopsy fixed the prob
able time of her death at about 4 a.
m., Sunday, but County Autopsy Sur
gean A. F. Wagner said today death
might have taken place any time be
tween 13 and 30 hours before her
body was found.
Investigators also turned to a the
ory some unannounced circumstances
msy have been Instrumental In her
death. They said a close examination
of her vital organs would be made,
and any evidence presented to the
grand Jury.
SO Witnesses Called
District Attorney Buron Fltts has
summoned 20 witnesses,
Mrs. West, saying "I want to tell
everything I know how," declared she
saw the blonde comedienne riding
with a "foreign looking" man in ner
own chocolate -colored phaeton the
same car In which she was found
dead In a seashore garage Monday
morning. The garage was below the
home owned by Mrs. West.
A coroner's Jury deciding the ac
tress death was caused by carbon
monoxide poisoning, "probably acci
dental," recommended further inves
tigation. Mrs. West whose estranged husband
was co-partner with Miss Todd in a
seaside cafe venture, said she was
positive the blonde haired woman was
the actress.
"She was a bosom friend of mine
and I have ridden In that phaeton
many times," added Mrs. West.
To Analyze Organs
Upon the request of the grand Jury
foreman, County Chemist R. J. Ab
ernathy stated that a complete chem
ical analysis would be made of Miss
Todd's vital organa which will take
several days.
Presumably It Is to learn whether
other Indications than those of car
bon monoxide poisoning are present.
If such are' found, they would

strengthen a possibility that the ac
tress was unconscious before the run

partly closed garage created a fatal

Mrs. West's statement tended to
tear down the carefully built up the
ories Miss Todd died an accidental
death, warming herself early Sunday
morning after her return from a Hol
lywood party by running the engine
of her big car.
West Parries Questions
Star witness in the day long In
quest was Roland West, former film
director and producer, who told the
Jurors he had "locked out" Miss Todd
at 3 am. ro., Sunday from her living
quarters above the cafe which they
Jointly operated.
"She occupied one half of the
rooms," he said. "I, the other. They
are split by sliding doors, covered by
drapes."
West parried questions of Deputy
George Johnson concerning his asso
ciation with the actress.
He said "she was my best friend."
Asked If she had intimated she
might leave him to .re-marry Ray Di
Cicco, wealthy sportsman. West ans
wered she couldn't leave me. That
would be Impossible. Inasmuch as we
had no connection."
Mrs. West's statement supported
tho Inquest testimony of Mrs. Wallace
Ford, actor's wife, that she talked
over the telephone with Miss Todd at
4:10 p. m. Sunday about bringing a
mystery guest to the Fords' cocktail
party.
