New York, Aug. 24.-Broadly hint
ing that he intended to sue Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt for libel on his
return, John D. Archbold, president of
the Standard Oil company, sailed from
New York today on vacation trip to
Europe. The oil magnate resented that
portion of Roosevelt's statement, ls-
sued last night in which the former
president contradlcted much of the
testimony given by Archbold yester-
day to the senate campaign contribu-
tions committee.
"I am not a liar" said Archblld,
"and | am not accustomed to be 80
accused shall not endure 1t light
ly" Asked IL he meant to sue Roose-
welt for libel, Archbold said:
Il mean something to that effect. M,
r. Elliott, chief of the Standard Oll's
legal department, will have charge of
the case"
Archbold added, however, that moth
ing would be done until he returned
from Europe.

Do you know that Marion county
collects more taxes than any county in
the state except Multnomah2
Do you know that the taxes in Ma
rion county are probably paid up bet
ter proportionately than any county in
the state of Oregon?
The high percentage of payments is
due to the special effort made to col
lect by the men in Sheriff Minto's Of
flee. Deputies Esch and Needham
have been untiring in their efforts to
collect the taxes and the result Of
their labors is certainly shown in the
following figures.
The total tax for the year 1912 was
1898 ,9S219.
OF this amount sS59,6S9.72 was paid
in up to one week ago, leaving bal
ance of only $7S,69247 to be collected.
OF this balance remaining unpaid the

THINK MEDFORD MAN ONE
OF MONTREAL BANK ROBBERS

Medford, Or, Aug. 24.-lt is now
thought that Lounsberry may have
been connected with the robbery Of
the Branch Bank in Montreal at New
Westminster, B. c., when over $780,
900 was secured by the blowing Of the
safe Of that institution. While this
suspicion is founded on mere conjec-
ture, It is a remarkable fact that
Lounsberry was absent from his home
at that time and was supposed to have
been in western Canada looking at a
timber claim An effort is being made
to ascertain the whereabout of Louns-
berry when a train on the Southern
Pacific was held up last winter near
Yoncalla, oregon. Lounsberry ac-
counted for his absence at the time he
robbed the Southern Pacific train at
Red Bluff, Cal, by saying he was go
ing to northern California to inyestl-
gate a quartz claim.
