DETECTIVES TELL sToR1Es


The prosecution, which was repre-
sented by Assistant District Attorneys
McNutt and Ferrari, thought Its evil
dence was strong. Detective Frank
Lord described conditions in the Wal
dorf club the night of July u when he,
with Detectives Redmond and Murphy.
raided the place. He said that there
were many tables there, around which
were seated men playing cards. In one
corner was a little cashiers room, to
which the patrons of the place went
and cashed in their chips when they
were arrested. Some of them, he said,
tried to escape by means of window,
but he stopped them. Outside the door
was a lookout
Detective Joseph Redmond described
conditions at the Waldorf practically
as did Lord. He said that the lookout
asked If they were members Of the club,
but permitted them to enter. The Wal
dorf. said Redmond. had the reputation
Of being a gambling Joint
Redmond also told of statements
made by Mrs. Bea atrice ,Atchity in Cap
tain Moneys Office in the presence of
BarneberE. He said she charged
Barneberg with having told her that
she could earn money on the side. be-
cause she was what was called a
spring chicken" Barneberg denied
meant. At that time, said Redmond.
Barneberg stated that the revenues of
the waldorf were derived from the
sale of cards at 15 cents per pack
every 20 minutes. He also admitted
that he used house money men," but
claimed they lost more for him than
they won.
Barneberg also admitted said Red
mond. that anybody could become a
member OF the Waldorf social club
by purchasing a membership card and
paying the initiation fee. Michael
| Atchity was not a member, but was
allowed to play because he came with
Mike Seufy well known gambler.

The official announcement made in
Constantinople today that the Turkish
troops had reoccupied Adrianople cre-
ated the worst possible impression in
diplomatic circles, and the powers i'm
mediately began an exchange of views
to find the best means of checkmating
Turkeys action, which-is looked upon
as a sclearcut defiance of all Europe.
The next few hours are likely to de-

Washington, d. c., Sept. 29.-Be-
cause seven iron washers were found
in four bags in the San Francisco
mint in place of seven silver dollars,
Director Roberts has directed the re-
count of SCI, 100000, the entire sill

The count will be made by pieces

sealed silver to ascertain whether the
bags contain any washers. Each bag
will be watched as it is resealed.
1t will require weeks to complete
the count. The mint has reported to
the treasury department that the only
loss SO far discovered is the seven
dollars. Director Roberts thinks that
the workmen are responsible, as the
seals on the bags are unbroken.
Assayer Dewey of the San Fran.

23 Babies Were
Entered at Fair

The bay show-under the eugenics
system-held in connection with the
industrial fair was a decided success
there being 23 babies entered. The
babies are not judged; they are
scored on a possible 1000 points
The examinations and measurements
were made by Drs. Swedenburg and
Gregg, assisted by several trained
nurses. The work of figuring out
these scores is immense and is under
the supervision of Mrs. Hilty, assist
ed by Mrs. ]. J. Gamblers and other
ladies. Because of the other duties
involving on these ladies in connec-
tion with the industrial fair these
ladies will not be able to meet to
complete the work until Thursday
afternoon and they hope to complete
the work.
Mrs. Hilty asks the Tidings to re-
quest the mothers and others inter-
ested to be patient, and all will re-
ceive the cards of their babies as
soon as possible.
The physicians. who made the
measurements state that they never
saw a more perfect lot of babies and
that all will score very high indeed,
the lowest being well worthy of the
blue ribbon.

Auction Sale
Was Successful

The big public sale held by Messrs.
w. G. Gordon and Frank McCracken,
on the Wells ranch, east of Ashland,
last Thursday, was well attended. In
fact, so many were there that the
event assumed the proportions of a
district fair. From 10 a. m. until
5 in the afternoon the bidding was
spirited and most of the offerings
brought good prices. The sale in
cluded about 100 head of stock, farm
implements and machinery, house
hold goods, etc. Horses brought as
high as $3.50 apiece, cows 500, year.
lings $25, and hogs $21. Even ducks
in the poultry schedule brought
$1.25 each, they having aristocratic
pedigrees, however. The proceeds of
this joint sale were approximately
$4,000. Sums of $50 and under
were spot cash. William Ulrich of
Medford was auctioneer, and f. S.
Engle clerk.
Mr.. Gordon will leave the ranch
and move into town, the property
having been rented by Oscar Lowe,
who is to vacate the Werth ranch
north of Ashland. Mr.. McCracken,
who has been occupying the Dodge
farm, a part of the original Kings
bury property, will leave this section
and relocate in California.
The ladies of the Parent-Teacher
Circle of the Belleview school dis
trict served substantial cafeteria
lunch on the grounds, which was we'll
patronized. BY the way, these pub
lic-spirited women are doing a great
work not only for their own particu-
lar community but also in furthering
Ashland's enterprises in the way of
fairs, etc. The circle was only or
ganized in 1912, but has already ac-
complished much good along school
and social lines. Present officers are
Mrs. w. l.. Moore, president; Mrs.
}. A. Schoenthal, secretary; Mrs.

Medf0rd After
Careless Drivers

Medford, Sept. 29.-Following
three auto collisions on Main street
in as many days, the police Friday
morning took drastic steps to curb
reckless driving and speeding. A
large white dot is now painted in the
center of the intersections of each
street, and any driver who does not
swing around this dot in making a
crossing turn will be subject to the
heavy penalties imposed by the state
and city laws for violation of the
rules of the road.
Friday morning ]. G. Boyden and
F. G. Stuart, driving autos, collided
at Main and Bartlett streets,
through, Chief of Police Hittson
says, failure to observe the road
rules, and cutting corners. Both
cars were damaged, fore and amid
ship, and only moderate speed pre-
vented serious consequences.
Under the state law covering auto
driving, the driver cutting the cor
ners is liable to the damage sus-
tanned by the other car, besides pros
ecution. The police besides strictly
and impartially enforcing this rule
will arrest all autos who dodge out
from behind vehicles, speed up to
the curb and try to pass other ma
chimes by crossing over to the wrong
side of the road.
The authorities also announce that
they will put damper on motorcy-
clists who OF late have taken to max
ing speedways out of paved streets
in the residence districts. Some ar
rests are scheduled for auto drivers
and motorcyclists who ride and drive |
with the hands off the wheel and the |
handle bars.
