SPANOS TESTIMONY FAILS TO HOLD CUMMINGS
Attempt Shift Guilt in DedaSkaOuS Murder Case Draws the Net
Tighter Around Suspected Murderer

Bert Cummings, arrested Monday
night as an accomplice of Mike
Spanos, held in the county jail in
connection with the murder of
George Dedaskalous, September 21,
was discharged by Justice Glenn Tay-
lor on Tuesday afternoon. Spanos,
who was the principal witness against
his former pal, told a story of his
connection with the affair, and if
anything drew tighter about his own
self a net of circumstantial evidence.
The preliminary hearing developed
two things-that Mike Spanos is
given to romancing and that Mike
and Bert are friends no longer. Sew
eral times during the trial Cummings
interrupted the attorneys to express
a caustic opinion of his stepfather,
and startled the audience by shout
ing, Who's going to provide for my
wife?" during Prosecuting Attorney
Mulkey's summing up of the evil
dence. The other feature was the
testimony of H. w. Alleman, chef at
the Medford Hotel, who solemnly
swore that "dishwashing was a job
that required more brains than any
other pursuit" Asked if he did not
think there might be something
harder, the chef determinedly de-
clared there was nothing that he
knew Of
The case of the state hinged upon
a pocketbook Mike testified that

$265, 900 collected through his
Washington headquarters and spent

Kinley of Illinois, the president S
campaign manager, in his testimony
before the senate investigating COM
mittee. Mckinley said the Taft fam
ily comprising Charles p, Henry w.

president, gave $15O,000.
The campaign cost was five times
what was expected and he said John
Hays Hammond, Andrew Carnegie
Richard Kerns, Senator Crane, Sec
retary Knox and Attorney General
Wickersham were among other con-
tributors.
The contributions to the state cam
paigns by the Taft headquarters were
given as follows: West Virginia
$4,000, Maryland $4,000, Ohio
$4,000, Illinois $4,000, Maine $3,-
600, Texas 5000, Indiana $4,000
Iowa $4,000, Kansas $1,000, Ken
lucky $4,000. Ormsby McHarg, con.
test manager for Roosevelt, who also
testified this afternoon, accounted
for the expenditure of $4,000 tC
$50, 900 in the southern states.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
Western Union InstaIls Practically
New Equipment in Ashland
Best On Coast.

The Western Union Telegraph
Company has almost completed the
work of installing it's ne equipment
in. this city. The partition at the
rear of the main office room has
been moved back about eight feet
and a handsome new oak counter
and desk put in place in the front,
together with a standing desk for
the use of patrons. The room has
also been retinted and new electric
lighting installed. This is the part
of the improvements which is most
noticeable to the casual visitor to the
office, but it is far from the main
improvements made. The entire cleo
Il ical equipment has been changed
and it is said to be the most up-to-
date office on the coast and that
there are only two or three as eff
cient in the United States. The Of
flee is a repeating station, all mes
sages being repeated at this station
by automatic repeaters. With the
new equipment five men do the work
that in the earlier days of telegraphy
would have required the services of
a force of go operators.
This station is also the head of a
test district comprising the lines be-
tween Roseburg and Red Bluff. The
new improvements and additions will
add one man to the former force in
the office.
A handsome new sign will adorn
the glass Of the office windows in a
very short time.
