ALL-AROUND FACE-SAVING
MARKED COMPROMISE
EXPERTS IC.NORF.D IN
COMPROMISE DRAFTING
TREASURY OFFICIALS
MOURN SACRIFICES MADE
WASHINGTON, April 28. The two
men who really made the compromise
on the tax bill never eptered the
stuffy capltol chamber where the
senate and house conferees did 'the
official wrangling. They could not,
for they were not members of con
gress. And their names were Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt and Bernard
Mannes Baruch.
There can be no question that the
president supervised the horsetradlng
of hla side. Representative Robert
L. Doughton, of North Carolina, the
tough old chairman of the house
ways and means committee, did the
talking. But the words he spoke were
the words of the president. On more
than one occasion during the con
ferences, he openly telephoned to the
White House to get his next cue
straight.
The senate's chieftain. Pat Harri
son, of Mississippi, did not actually
telephone Mr. Baruch when in doubt.
Indeed, he may never have received
direct advice from his great and good
friend, although cynics will wonder
whether even Mr. Baruch had will
power enough to keep his fingers out
of such an exciting pie. But the
course followed by Senator Harrison
was a course laid out by Mr. Baruch.
The president and Mr. Baruch have
been cronies for a great many years,
and very likely they will become
cronies again. .. But the elder states
man and financial angel of the de
mocracy parted company with his
chieftain on tax revision. As has been
pointed out here before, he and Sen
ator Harrison and Senator James F.
Byrnes, of South Carolina, carefully
concerted the senate attack on the
administration tax bill.
When the bill got to conference,
the essential difference between the
senate, or Baruch conferees, and the
house, or presidential conferees, con
cerned the preservation of the "prin
ciple" of the undistributed profits

OLD ANIMAL HEAD
FOUND AT MINE;
ON DISPLAY HERE
The skull and horns of what was
believed to be a prehistoric animal
of the bison species were placed on
exhibition today in the Jackson Coun
ty Chamber of Commerce.
The skull and horns. Intact In one
piece, were discovered yesterday dur
ing hydraulic operations at the Ster
ling mine in the Applegate section of
Jackson county. The piece was found
Imbedded In a clay and sand stratum
36 feet beneath the ground on semi
bedrock 13 feet above the main bed
rock. Dr. Walter Redford. president of
the Southern Oregon Normal school
In Ashland, was notified of the find
by the chamber of commerce this
morning., and said he would telephone
Immediately to Oregon State college
or the University of Oregon to have
a paleontologist come here properly
to Identify the animal. Dr. Redford
stated he would come to Medford this
afternoon himself to see the remains
Amateur paleontologists here were
of the opinion that the animal dates
back several ages, tn which case the
find would be of immense scientific
value. Until the remains are author
ltlvely Identified, however, the age
of the skeleton and the value of the
discovery cannot be determined.
The horns, now crumbling and
chipped off with age, measure 45
Inches across. When unearthed tho
skeleton still contained a thin mem
brane that covered the brain cavity,
but this crumbled to dust as the
remains were removed from their
ancient crypt.
The skeleton was uncovered yester
day morning while miners worked in
the old Sterling creek channel of the
Sterling mine. The men, realizing
they might have uncovered something
of immense valuev stopped work and
telephoned to the chamber of com
merce here.
A. H. Banwell, chamber manager,
immediately phoned E. R. Santo and
William McClure of the Southern Ore
gon Gem and Mineral society. The
two men hastened to tho mine ar
rived there at 5 p. m and imme
diately dug out the skeleton. Mean
time, mining operations were sus
pended for tho day so as not to dis
turb the skeleton.
Carefully extracted and wrapped
the skeleton was brought here by
Santo and McClure. The bones and
horns were In a crumbly condition
and It was thought they would dis
integrate entirely within a few days
unless they were properly treated for
preservation.
Santo and McClure placed the skel
eton In a box of sand before taking
it for display to the chamber of com
merce. Viewing the skeleton, John E. Doerr
Jr.. Crater Lake. national park natur
alist, said there was no doubt ot Its
being the akull and horns of some
old animal, but he would not ven
ture to say to what geologic age the
animal belonged.
Persons wanting to view the skele
ton were asked by Mr. Banwell to
do so without delay. It la on exhibit
