Medford May Have
a Woman Mayor

Mail Tribune: Interest in the APP
pointment of successor to fill the
mayoralty chair now centers in a
proposed mass meeting to be called
next week by supporters of G.. e..
Gates, who are disappointed by the
action of the council last Tuesday in
giving scant courtesy to the petition
signed by 400 taxpayers and citizens.
Where and who will preside at the
meeting has not been decided, but
public sentiment is strong for the
move.
AS a solution of the problem,
which promises to grow complicated,
a woman is suggested for the place.
Mrs DR.. j. F. Reddy. well known
suffragette worker and club woman,
is favorably spoken of for the place.
She has the executive ability and has
been identified with all of the civic
steps of the Greater Medford Club
Whether she would accept the ap-
pointment is not known. If the
council would make this step Med
ford would be the first city in the
northwest to place a woman at the
head of its government.

Wineland of Williams county was
shot through the head and seriously
wounder here Thursday in a revolver

then drove away in the automobile.
The sheriff was notified and imme-
diately started in pursuit in a high
power machine. Two of the bandits
escaped, but posse of farmers cap
tured the youth who shot Sheriff

Seniors Have
Big War Dance

The senior class of the Ashland
high school met at the home of Miss
Lucille Barber last Saturday evening
at 1880 o'clock for trip up the can
yon on an Indian war rampage. The
painting and dressing having been
completed at Miss Barber's, the Jolly
bunch set out for the scene of the
evenings entertainment with Indian
yells and war whoops galore. The
journey was slow, everybody making
as much noise and confusion as he
could, but the warrior band finally
made their way to a remote part of
the ravine somewhere near the loca-
tion of Hanging Rock. Nobody
knows Just where the camp was stu
ated. The destination was reached
about 8 o'clock.
Immediately upon arrival the gal
liant braves gathered together great
piles of brush and small logs and
pui' q huSo DoHlllS, dIOuuu WHICH
the grand Indian powwow was to be
enacted. This dance is indescribable
and the only light that can be
thrown upon it is the fact that Bud
Burdic has given up all hopes of
connecting it in any manner with the
rag. Everyone enjoyed themselves,
though, and that was all that was
needed. Next the peace pipe (Which,
by the way, was nothing more than
corncob) was passed around and
all took long puff and pronounced
it quite good.
The stories that were told were of
different varieties, humorous, ghost
ly, Indian, etc. Each one present had
to tell tale and they were of such
good composition and merit as to
even compare with Chaucer's Can
terbury Tales" The company were
then refreshed by an abundance of
marshmallows, after which President
Briggs took a flashhght picture of
the whole crowd. Roasted wenies
and hot buns followed and they were
quite easily dispensed with. When
the eats were all done the band pre-
pared for the grand Indian war
dance, of which there was also a
flashlight taken.
Then the sweet spuds which had
been placed in the fire early in the
evening were raked out by the above
mentioned braves and several rolls
of butter were consumed in the eat
| ing. Several new senior songs were
INDUCED In and pronounced the best
yet and then the merry bunch oil
savages departed for their respective
domiciles.
If some of the readers have some
doubt as to what an Indian powwoW
or war dance might be, the picture;
will be on sale at the drug stores il
a few days.

ance-Veterans Agree That Never
Did They Have Better Grounds or
Weather.

The Talent encampment has passed
into history and is remembered in
the hearts of all the veterans and
others who attended as one of the
most successful in the history of the
association. The grounds by unanf-
nous consent were declared the
equal of any ever furnished and the,
people of Talent Wed with the clerk
of the weather in his efforts to have
the encampment perfect
Wednesday evening at the encamp-
ment was Grants Pass day and the
program rendered byb the ladies of
that city was one of the events of the
encampment.
On Thursday the Medfordites had
their innings and they put up two
good addresses, Attorney Caady
speaking to the old soldiers and W
r. c. in the afternoon and Attorney
B. F. Mulkey was the speaker of the
evening, both programs including mu-
sic also. Medfordites turned out en-
masse, it being estimated that over
1000 people were in attendance at
the evening session.
Friday, the closing day of the en-.
campment, was Ashland day and was
filled chock full from start to fin
ish. In the forenoon, as recorded
elsewhere, there was flag presenta-
tion to the Talent schools.
In the afternoon the principal ad-
dress was delivered by Rev. w. A.
Schwimley, pastor OF the Congrega-
tional church of Ashland. Rev. Mr.
Schwimley paid a high tribute to the
soldiers of the Civil War and gave
one of the ablest and most impress
i've and pleasing addresses of the ses-
sion. Mr.. Schwimley is always felici-
tous and happy in his remarks and
this was no exception to the general
rule.
Following the address Of Mr..
Schwimley, Professor Briscoe gave Il
short talk on the life and character
of Abraham Lincoln. Professor Bris-
coe lived in the same section of In
diana where Lincoln spent his boy
hood and told several stories of his
life.

nings. This was followed by a read
ing by Miss Divet, both of which
were well received.
Professor Briscoe delivered the ad-
dress of the evening, speaking from
the standpoint of a son of veteran.
citizen and an educator. Mr.. Bris-
coe was at his best and paid high
tribute to the veterans and to their
work. He made an earnest plea for
better citizenship and for the settle,
ment of all matters through interna-,
tional arbitration in the future, rath-
er than by force, noting the growing
popularity of the settlement of labor
troubles by this means rather than
by the warfare OF the strike.
Following Professor Briscoes ad-
dress, Mr.. and Mrs. II. II. Basler of
Grants Pass entertained the audience
for some time, giving number of

JAPAN TO MAKE
FORMAL PROTEST
Action Taken by California a
Great Disappointment.
LEADERS URGE CALMNESS.
Declare That Every Effort Must Be
Made To Eradicate Root Of An
tagonism To the Japanese
In California;

San Francisco.-A cablegram from
Toxic to the Japanese-American, a
Japanese daily paper OF this city,
states that the Japanese government
cabled instructions to Baron Chinda,
Japanese ambassador at Washington,
to make formal protest against the
alien land bill enacted by the Cali
fornia Legislature and now awaiting
Governor Johnson's signature.
The message adds that the position
taken by the Japanese government is
responsible for the finding of a salts
factory solution of the situation in
California under its treaty obligations
to Japan.
Describing the receipt of the news
from Sacramento that the bill had
passed both houses of the Legislature,
the message says:
when the japanese people received
the report that the alien land bill had
passed the California Legislature all
the people were deeply disappointed.
Leaders of public opinion in Japan
are advising that an attitude of calm
ness be maintained in the present
situation. Such men as Baron Shibu-
sawa and Chairman Nakano, Of the
Toxic Chamber of Commerce, publicly
assert confidence that the American
government and people alike are Op-
posed to discriminatory measures OF
legislation.
They declare that ever effort must
now be made to discover and eradicate
the root of antagonism to the Japan
csc in California in order that
amicable relations may be restored.
While the japanese newspapers
voice these same sentiments, they
blame the government for what they
term failure of diplomacy."

ANNAPOLIS NEWS
STATE TREASURER SUSTAINED.
Appeals Court Rules He Holds Bank
Deposits I'LL Relieved.

Deposits Till Relieved.
The Court of Appeals, Judge Stock
bridge delivering the opinion, reversed
Judge Brashears, of the Anne Arundel
County Circuit Court, in the manda-
mus proceedings instituted against
State Treasurer Murray Vandiver by
the Fidelity Savings Bank, of Frost
burg; the Commercial Savings Bank,
OF Cumberland, and the Homecoming
Savings Bank. Chief Judge Boyd and
Judge Burke dissented. The single
question involved in the case was
whether the banks had been relieved
from the requirement of depositing
certain stocks and bonds with the
State Treasurer under the Acts of
1892 and 1896, for the protection of de-
positors, by the provisions of three
laws enacted by the Legislature in
1912. The banks filed a petition for
mandamus TO compel Treasurer Vandi-
yer to return the stocks and bonds de-
posted, the action being removed from
the Circuit Court for Allegany County
to the Anne Arundel tribunal. Judge
Brashears subsequently ordered the
mandamus to issue and Mr. Vandiver
appealed. In reversing the lower court
and dismissing the petition, the Court
Of Appeals holds that as the stock was
deposited with the Treasurer as a trust
that official was bound to hold it until
relieved by court of equity.
