If, for any reason. Klamatb real
tors have been sharpening a battle
axe recently thoy have used It to
chop off an olive branch, for yester
day tho dove of peace hovered over
their luncheon gathering at the
While Pullcan hotel.
It wna a round table affair, this
luncheon, and what was aald can
only be gathered from tho general
tenor of the results.
Hut there wns one remark that
was repeated countless times, and
then echoed. It can be attributed to
everyone present. It was:
"We want no fight."
Furthar man that there can be
no direct Quotation, for as was
stated, It was a round table discus-
slon. Ileal estate men passed out
the general aentlment of tholr gath
ering, all to the same effoct "We
want no fight."
It might be aet forth that the real
tors had taken umbrage to the
name used by former state Senator
Claude McColloch and C. K. Whar

where tho Weyerhaeuser mill la ex
parted t9 -bo BwJlded. There had
been talk of seeing to It that thla

Yet, when the realtors of the city
got together and talked It over It
waa another story. And beyond atlll
believing that the mooted name waa
unfortunate, they did not gird their

Instead It waa decided to welcome

California Man Would Use

Advertising
LOS ANOKLES, Jan. 12 (United
Newa) Although It Is still admit
tedly a shell of an Idea, the lowly
turtle, hitherto appreciated for Its
stowing possibilities alone, may be
come one of the greatest advertis
ing media of tomorrow.
Joseph Hlgby, Dlsbop turtle ran

The ads, according to niKby, aro
lo be painted on the upper convex
shell of the turtles with on llluml
nated paint and will extend Hie
lifo of the reptiles.
The new advertising conveyances
then will be placed at distances of
half a mile apart on main arteries
east and west.
Experiment has shown, Illgby
said, that Illuminated turtles are
an Irresistible lure for curious mot
orists.

CLAIM MONTANA
WORST SUFFERER
Testimony Given In Inter
state Commerce Com
mission Hearing
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 12.
(United Newa.) The Interstate
commerce commission rate h oaring
here nas listened to many aad tale
of the farmers' plight, but the short
and simple annals of Montana re
lated at Tuesday's bearing made
those which preceded It sound like
an adverlsement of prosperity.
J. II. Hamilton, a fatherly pro
fessor of economics in the Montana
agricultural college told the com
mission that Montana farmers are
penniless. In debt and harassed.
Their produce la little and their
frolght to market high, he said.
Professor Hamilton emphasized
that the war did not help the farm
er of Montana. A series of dry
years ending In 1919 left him pen
niless at the beginning of the de
pression and since then he has been
going bankrupt In growing num
bers. "Farmers form 41 per cent of the
population," tho professor said.
"Last year 64 per coat of bankrupts
In the atato wore farmers and the
number now facing bankruptcy in
the etato Is Increasing. The farm
failures react on tho banks, which
In turn, ruin other farmers whon
they fall."
The commission placed the ten
tative valuation of the roada ot the
west on which it has been working
tor more than ten yoars on the
record at Tuesday's session. It is
still far from coniploto, but as
far as It has been finished, it Is
regarded aa a basis for computing
railroad valuation.
M. J.'Calrns, imecbanical ongineer
of the commission's bureau of valu
ations to O. K. (he exhibit on the
stand explained it and was ques
tioned. He said that an Increase
based on a percentage ot existing
rates la unfair to thoso living at a
distance from markets.
He offered figures to show the
proposed Increase would raise the
rate from Montana to St. Paul
markets much more than tram the
Dakotas to tho same market. The
same thing, he said, is true between
Montana to coast markets.

SUPREME COURT
GIVES FREEDOM
TO G, FRANK WAY
Bail Set at $5000
Pending Appeal
FACED STIFF SENTENCE
Way May Be Released
When Sureties are O K'd
By Klamath Judge
8ALEM, Jan. 12. (United News)
The Oregon supreme court today
issued a certificate of probable cause
granting an appeal to George F.
Way, Prlnevllle sheep man, charged
with slaying Timothy T. Murphy,
another sheep man7. In an alterca
tion In Klamath county. May 23,
192S.
The court also admitted Way to
ball, fixing the ball at 15000. tbe
sureties to be Justified before the
circuit Judge ot Klamath county,
however, before Way can be re
leased. Way was Indicted for first de
gree murder following the death of
Murphy after a fight with Way. Tbe
Jury in circuit court, however, re
turned a verdict of manslaughter
and Way waa sentenced to fifteen
yeara.
Circuit Judge Leavitt refused to
permit Way to give ball, and so
denied him a certificate of prob
able cause tor an appeal ot the
caac. ,
Way was given the limit for man
slaughter, fifteen years In the pen
Itentlary and a fine ot 11000., He
was ordered committed to the pen
itentiary at Salem. According to his
attorneys he will be brought back
Immediately and tha bond posted for
his release.
This ruling of the higher court es
tablishes the fact that a defendant,
not under a murder charge In any
degree, or treason, shall not be de
nied ball, according to attorneys,
The defendant Way waa deprived
of his rights when refused ball after
his being found guilty ot manslaugh
ter. It Is stated.
Way and Murphy got Into a
sheepman's fight in the Peril's Gar
dena country southeast of Bly on
May 2E. laat year. Murphy waa
beaten to death.
Attorney Horace Manning waa
employed aa a special prosecutor.
Attorney Charlea F. Stone waa at
torney for the defendant, with Car-
nahan as associate counsel. The
defendant waa charged with murder
in the first degree and the prose
cution sought to show that Way had
hit him with the butt of a gun
The defense claimed that a blow ot
the fist and a heavy ring worn by
Way had resulted In the fatality.
Way haa been In the penitentiary
alnce September 14. Apparently the
supreme court considered the peti
tion for a writ ot probable cause
and that the man be admitted to
ball well founded. The case was
set to have been submitted on brlofs
today, but the court acted previous
to the time aet for a hearing.

SCENT EASY TO TRAIL
With License Number
Known Arrest Is Expect
ed At Early Date
Striking fiercely with a batcbet
at Joe Zimmerman, state prohibi
tion officer and knocking him oft
the running board of his car a
bootlegger made a thrilling escape
from the very hands of arresting
officers In a rain of bullets here
yesterda morning about 10 o'clock.
A triil ot moonshne was left be
hind 'be car tor a mile.
State officers Wm. McMilla and
Zimmerman bad apprehended ths
car at the rear ot an alleged boot
legging establishment on Broad
street. Zimmerman went to tha
door of the closed car and attempt
ed to open It- '
Immediately tbe man started hla
car, and when Zimmerman Jumped
on the Tunning board he struck at
Zimmerman with a hatchet. Tha
blow waa warded off by Zimmer
man's arm and aa the car sped
away Zimmerman tell to tbe ground.
Officer McMilla observed that
Zimmerman was not Injured, and
then opened fire on the oar, firing
eight shots. Zimmerman also be
gan shooting. They believe they
punctured a tire.
As the man drove off they saw
him smashing a Jug of moonshine
that Zimmerman had glimpsed in
the car.
Follow Scent.
The car of the officers was in
the next block and by the time
they had reached it and started In
pursuit the bootlegger had a good
start- The officers say they were
able to follow tbe aroma of moon
shine as far as the hill on the road
toward SMppington, a mile out ot
town, and there they were thrown
off the scent. i
Two warrants are out for the
maty tbe name of whom the officers
believe they know; one on a liquor
charge and another on an assault
charge. They believe they will have
him in custody shortly.
' The car was an Overland sedan
with wire wheels, having a 1925
Oregon Ilc.ir.se, number 209,244.
The records show this license to
have belonged to a Med ford res
ident The car cannot fall to have
been bullet punctured, say ths of
ficers.
McMilla taid he could have hit
the driver easily, and would have
tired to havo hit him had Zimmer

hatchet.
Zimmerman is a new officer In
