Five Vehicles Pile Up on Highway 99 Two drivers were cited by state police for following two closely Tuesday after a five-car pile-up occurred at 9:05 a.m. near Savage Creek on Highway 89. Officers said all five cars were traveling north near Sav age Creek, when a vehicle oper ated by Gertrude Eugenia Cheney, 53, Oakland, Calif., stopped to allow a car ahead of her to make a left turn. Second car in the line, oper ated by John Seaman Taggart, 42, of 132 Almond st., Medford, also stopped, and the third car, operated by Delmer R. Luper, 55. route 1, box 441, Gold Hill, skidded to a stop. Officers said the fourth vehicle, operated by Robert Sherwood Hinmari, 40, of 675 Oakdale dr., Medford, hit the rear of Luper's vehicle, shov ing it into Taggart's car, which hit Mrs. Cheney's auto. Another vehicle, operated by Robert Thomas Eaton, Eugene, apparently swerved out to avoid hitting Hinman's car, but struck it on the left side. All cars involved in the acci dent sustained varying amounts of damage. There were no. in juries. Hinman and Eaton were both cited by officers for following too closely. Autor Driver Checks Rejected Salem U.R) Oregon's new traffic safety commission today turned thumbs down on two per ennial suggestions by opposing both motor vehicle inspection and reexamination of all driv ers. Commissioners said the law now provides that individual drivers can be reexamined whenever license authorities be lieve there is a need and that mechanical failure is not a sig nificant factor in accident causes. Records show that from three to five per cent of all Oregon accidents involve a mechanical defect. Before opposing driver re examination, commission mem bers heard J. C. Kerrick, driv ers license division manager and member of its operating committee, explain that every sample check of accident drivers he has taken shows the offend ing drivers are well qualified physically to drive and know traffic laws. "If you were to call them in for a reexamination behind the wheel they would be able to pass any test we might give," Kerrick added. Wednesday, August 22, 19Si MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Man Never Wears : ; Gold Coat of Emperor I - Des Moines U.R) Dr. E. V. I Enzmann, a Still Osteopathic ) ' College professor at Des Moines, 'i owns a coat which he never 1 i wears. It's made largely of gold Enzmann said he got the 300- t; year-old coat from Henry Pu-yi, y the last emperor of China. The coat highlights Enzmann's collec- , tion of art objects, jade, silks and prints gathered during the years 1919-1930 while he taught at Peking, China. The professor said he and Pu- yi, who had been deposed by the Chinese revolution of 1912, were neighbors in the Dutch, legation at Peking. The emperor had been granted asylum in the legation and Enzmann lived there as a foreign resident. Enzmann said the emperor pre sented him with the handsome coat after Pu-yi discovered his interest in Chinese silks. The robe-like garment glistens in the light and is covered with slightly raised circular designs. "The coat is unusual because, although the Chinese use gold in their embroidery work, no one but the emperor could have a garment which looks like pure gold, Enzmann said. Highway Accident Ends Horse's Life A "horse and car collision at 8:03 p.m. Tuesday on the Old Crater Lake highway near Delta Waters rd. resulted in death to the horse and extensive damage to the car, state police reported this morning. According to the report, the car operated by Paul Herbert Phillips, Eagle Point, was trav eling east on the old Crater Lake highway when- he noticed the horse in front of another car. Officers said the horse, owned by Everett McGraw, 1650 Grand ave., Medford, then jumped in front of Phillips' vehicle. The horse, suffering from three broken legs and head in juries, died soon after the ac cident. Phillips was not injured. His car was towed from the scene. The U. S. Army, founded in 17.75, is actually 14 years older than the United States itself and is the oldest military service, having fought in all of America's wars. - - - - - nlHIS til 3 VT7 HY W V "1 , " $A v. sv Plastic Shoe Bag Taffeta embossed plastic.
