In reply, adviaed the district attorney publication of the prison magazine wa not within the Jurls dlctlon of the atate parole board, but under supervision of the prlaon war den. Codding In his letter holds the pub lication "a distinct menace," and aaya. "I have talked with numeroua peace officers and Judges, and each of them has offered severe criticism of the plan to allow prison lmnatos the privileges they enjoy through the publication. "It offers an opportunity for In mates to get measures to the outside that might result In serious diffi culties." Copies of "Shadows" were received in this city today. It is edited y Hugh DeAutremont, sentenced to a life term from this oounty for his confessed part in the slskoylu tunnel attempted train robbery, in which four tralnment were murdered. Bay and Roy DeAutremont, twin brothers of the editor, are also serving life for ttie same crime, which stirred southern Oregon and northern Cali fornia to high pitch 14 years ago. ' The business manager of the pub lication is listed a Eugene Hurd. sentenced from this county to 10 years on his plea of guilty to holding up Ed Ouches in 1032. Hurd was extradited from Nevada and pleaded guilty. Codding said the prison publication was scheduled for discussion at the meeting at Grants Pass last Satur day of the Southern Oregon Law En forcement association, but was de ferred. The protest was filed by Codding, February 8, when In a report on pris oners from Jackson county, a card was encloses soliciting subscriptions to the prison magazine.

The paper Is refer red to In the editorial as "Madame Oregonlan." The introduction is written by Hugh DeAutremont, and the hope is expressed that "you like Shadows little. K you are not biased against ehlldren from the other side of the trsoks. I'm sure you will like blm a lot." The balance of the contributions consist of fiction, seml-flctlon, com ments, clippings and a number of prison poems. None of the Jackson county "lit erati" whose virulent writings aided In placing them behind penitentiary wslls are contributors.

W. H. Ragbdale of Moro, Ore., was elected to membership on the coun cil, or governing board, by coopera tive associations Of the northwest which have become stockholding bor rowers of the Bank for Cooperatives. John A. Wilson of Stanford, Mont., was elected by the northwest's 31 lo cal cooperative production credit as sociations which discount their mem bers notes through the Intermediate Credit hank.

Set up on a self-supporting business basis, these permanent units of the Farm Credit administration funda mentally were not created to loan government money, but to connect local farmers with the nation's in vestment markets and supply neces sary loan funds through the sale of long-term Land bank bonds and short-term Intermediate Credit bank debentures. CRIME CLASS, RECORDS REVEAL WASHINGTON (UP) Statistics complied by the federal bureau of in vestigation, U. 8. department of jus tice, show that lb out of every 100 persons arrested during 1030 were 1ft years of age or younger. . The facts were gained from the examination of 302 ,2 (VI -treat records of persons whose fingerprints were forwarded to the bureau during 1935 by state and municipal law enforce ment agencies. The compilation disclosed that dur ing the year 13.300 Individuals were arrested and charged with robbery, 33,649 with burglnry, and 11,004 with auto theft. The predominance of youth In those types of crimes Is shown by the fact that 7,108 (83.6 per cent) of those arrested and charg ed with robbery; 19,390 (00.1 per cent) of those charged with burg lory, and 7.488 (08 0 per cent) of those charged with auto theft, were under 30. During 1035, approximately one- fifth of the 303.351 persons arrested had a record of arrests previous to attaining their majority. The fingerprints of 1,795 deceased persons were submitted to the bu reau from May 1, 1935, to Jan. 1, 1930. in order that they might not be bur led unidentified. Through a search of Its files con taining a total of more than 5,500, 000 fingerprint cards the bureau was able to advise coroners and law en forcement agencies throughout the country forwarding these ringerprlnts as to the Identities of 457 of the de ceased. The contributors of 6fifl of the 1,706 fingerprint cards had no knowledge of the Identities of the do- ceased persons. A check of the bureau's .files re vealed the Identities of 158 of these unknown dead persons. They unwit tingly In life had provided a means of being Identified by committing criminal offenses. The 608 unknown deceased persons who were burled un named apparently led respectable lives and had not availed themselves of the opportunity of sure Identifi cation by placing their fingerprints In the civil Identification section of the bureau, which Is maintained sep arately and apart from the criminal records. " ? -HP V E GRACIOUSLY m i iisnniisHi curs MOST II JTlNtllSUI IITtl THE CLIFT SAN FRANCISCO 251 SHCIOIS filEST HONS ft N I SHIES 1 $ I C I A I N I 0 C H t W APARTMENTS Nearly 8,000 persons sent their fingerprints to the federal bureau of Investigation during December; 1935, to be placed In Its civil Identifica tion file. These personal Identification records came from such far away points as Yokohama, Honolulu, Eng land, Puerto Rico and Alaska, as well us from all sections of the United States. The value of having a per manent and reliable means of Iden tification on file Is rapidly becoming apparent, officials said. All personal Identification records are filed apart from the criminal rec ords. The fact that the stigma of criminality Is being divorced from fingerprints Is evidenced by the re ceipt In the bureau of 35 sets of fingerprints taken at a meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association, Yak ima, Wash. Among those actively engaged In furthering civil Identification are the Junior Chamber of Commeice, 8an Francisco, and the sheriff's office in Detroit. These organizations have sub mitted a large number of persona) identification fingerprint cards to be placed in the flies. The value of a sure means of Iden tification Is well Illustrated In many cases throughout the country, offi cials point out. x All citizens, If they so desire, may have their fingerprints placed In the federal bureau of Investigation's files for personal Identification purposes In Its civil Identification section. In this manner they will Insure their Iden tities for all time, safeguarding against possible accidents, cs Us tro phies, and attacks of amnesia.

CITED BY JAPAN AS 1MB WAR (Continued from page One.) sis, after the most serious In a long series of Manchoukuo -Outer Mon golia border Incidents was reported, but eaid: "If event move In such a way as to compel us to ohange this attitude, we must do what we can to cope with the situation." In view of the situation In Man choukuo and north China, the wir minister told the Associated Press, "some reinforcement of Japanese forces seem necessary" In the regions involved In International tension. RuMan Concentration Keen. Soviet Russia haa concentrated in eastern Siberia a number of troop equal to the entire Japanese army on a peace-time basis, he charged, while on the Manchoukuo side of the bor der, the Japanese army haa made few reinforcements. The Tokyo war office had estimated the Soviet far eastern forces previ ously at a quarter of a million men, 800 airplanes and 660 tanks. Fresh details of the latest Incident on the frontiers of the Japanese- ad vised state of Manchoukuo and the Soviet -Influenced Outer Mongolia said the Japanese lost one officer and seven men killed, and one officer and three men wounded In the sharpest fighting of the year of scattered en counters. , A Japanese-Manchoukuoan column was reported, nevertheless, to have recaptured In the conflict yesterday the town of Olabodka, southwest of Lake Bor, In the disputed frontier territory claimed by both Manchou kuo and Outer Mongolia. Mongols Suffer. A Dome. (Japanese) news agency dispatch from Hsinklng, capital of Manohoukuo, said the Japanese gen eral headquarters there announced that the Mongols apparently suffered numerous casualties in the several hours of heavy fighting. The Outergollans, estimated to number at least 200 men, armed with two cannons and numeroua machine guns, were reported to have retreat ed Into Mongolian territory. The H&lnklng communique said the Japanese - Manchoukuoans captured one cannon, one machine gun and a number of other Mongolian arms. The strength of the Japanese-Man-choukuoan force Involved was not disclosed, but the Japanese apparent ly bore the heaviest burden of the fighting, the Mancboukuoan, losses be ing set at only seven men wounded. Although the dispatches from Man choukuo Indicated increasing tension and militarist demands for action on a larger scale against Outer Mongolia and Soviet Russia, the Tokyo gov ernemnt leaders even the military seemed anxious to localize the inci dent and to avert a crisis.
