By SCOOP

Another period Of agOnlZed sus- pense is coming. Sunday evening, about the time they are finishing the long Venice international motorcycle Grand Prix, there will be many anx- ious inquirers among the hundreds of Phoenix wheeler riders, for in that race-which, being three hundred miles long, is about as lengthy as it's name-are two upon whom the eyes of local riders and race fans must needs turn always. They are Lorenzo BoidO because he lives here, and Erwin G. Baker be = cause he lives here part of the time.

 Reports of glorious bursts of spced even reaching the eighty miles an hour mark-come from the practices. Among the old heads in the racing
 
 and more or less useful lives on their two wheeled steeds, Boido is a2nar- entity holding his own.

Deciding Game
Saturday Night

Saturday evening the Medford high
school and Ashland high school bas-
ketball teams will met in the local
high school gymnasium in what will
probably prove the most exciting con-
test in recent years. An immense
crowd of rooters will be on hand
from Medford and the local fans will
turn out en- mass. Jitney service will
run from Buffers and limited num-
ber OF seats will be reserved at the
same place. Should Medford win the
game in that city tonight, which, by
the way, the locals have no intention
of allowing them to do, they will
make a mighty effort to settle the
series by winning the final game
here, and should Ashland win the
game tonight (Friday) they will do
the same. More excitement Is evil
dent than over any former games be-
tween the old-time rivals, and a warm
time Is assured.

PatTOlman in Mix
With Police Chief

An unseemly occurrence took place
Tuesday evening during the course
of the council meeting at the city
hall. Chief Porter absented himself
from the room for a few minutes.
Later sounds of scuffle were heard
in the hall and the entire council
and audience rushed to the door and
found Chief Porter on the floor and
Patrolman Wilson standing over him.
1t seems that Wilson had come up
to find Porter and met him at the
head of the stairs. Whether any
words preceded the attack has not
been ascertained, but it is certain
that Wilson lost his head and
knocked the chief against the wall
and to the floor. Councilman Cor
nelius and Arthur Strickland held
Wilson, who was fighting mad.
Wilson left the building and after
things had quieted down it was found
that Chief Porter was not seriously
injured but had a large bump and
cut on his forehead
Mayor Johnson appointed Strick-
land special officer with orders to
find Patrolman Atterbury and arrest
Wilson. When Atterbury was found
he refused to arrest his brother pa
trolman and turned in his star and
equipment. The matter was allowed
to rest until morning, when Wilson
was fined $40 for assault The fine
was paid by friends, according to re-
port. Mr.. Wilson has turned in his
star and equipment.
Chief Porter is confined to his
home for several days and Mr.. Wilson
is Ill as a result of the affair.
AS near as can be ascertained from
reports at hand, the patroImen have
not been working in harmony with
the chief lately and a series of small
incidents ahve occurred which have
famed the feeling of antagonism.
The incident which was the direct
cause of Tuesday nights miXup was
only a small matter and misunder-
standing at that and was no just
cause for such violation of law. A
hearing of the matters which have
impaired the harmony of the police
department was to have been held
after the council meeting Tuesday
evening, where it is believed all the
misunderstanding would have been
Strengthened out and an amicabe adj
justment made.
Special officers were appointed for
the night and permanent selections
will be made later OF officers to take
the place OF the patrolmen.

Martin Trial Holds
Center Of Stage

The trial of Louis Martin, who shot
and killed Game Warden Hubbard
last December, is progressing slowly
before crowded court room. Con-
stable A. L. Irwin was on the stand
most of yesterday and at last report
today.
Four venires of jurymen were
drawn before jury was selected. On
Tuesday considerable furore was
caused by charge that the jury had
been tampered with. Investigation
will be made.
Numbers of people from Ashland
and other valley points are in attend
ance and the trial is the one talked
of subject in Jacksonville. 1t is i'm
possible at this time to predict the
length of the trial.
Judge Calkins is hearing the case.
The prosecution is under the charge
of e. e. Kelly and the defense un-
der that of Attorney Evan Reames.
Sensational developments are
awaited by a huge crowd of the NOR
bid who hang around the court daily.

Remodel Star Into
MI de- Playhouse

Manager Lawrence of the Star
Theatre has started work on remodel
ing the theatre and will turn it into
a beautiful playhouse, modern in
every respect. He is removing the
back wall and will build the theatre
back twenty-five feet, thus adding
this additional depth. A stage will
be erected upon which first-class
vaudeville and less pretentious enter
tainments may be shown.
The floor will be lowered SO that
the front will be at street level. This
dropping of the floor will give much
more air space and simplify the ven
tilation which heretofore has been the
maiA objection to this picture house.
The most modern ventilation system
will be installed. The ceiling will
be beamed and will be eighteen feet
above the floor.
New opera chairs will be installed
and the remodeled show house will
seat three hundred comfortably. The
indirect lighting system will be used.
After the formal opening of the re-
modelled house an orchestra second
to none in the valley will be put on.
Mr.. Lawrence is an accomplished mu.
sician and realizes the drawing card
which good music will be to Ashland
people.
When the improvements are fin
ished Ashland will have another up
to-date picture house which will
greatly add to the amusement facili-
ties of the city.
The theatre will continue to run
with its present high-class pictures
while the remodeliRg at the rear is
being constructed and will be closed
for a few days while the inside work
is being done, which will be a matter
of a couple of weeks.

City Engine er
Will Advise

At Wednesday evenings Council
meeting Engineer Walker represent
ed several committees of the Civic
Improvement Club and brought up
several matters of Identification.
The ladies have a committee in
charge of the beautifying of every
street in town and numerous matters
are continually coming up which re-
quire attention from the city Off
cials.
Engineer Walker was granted per-
mission to answer any applications
for his services by the ladies and will
always be ready with advice as to
grades, distance from street that
trees should be planted, width and
grading of parkways and any other
matters which may come up in the
matter Of street Identification. Any
of the committee desirous of having
him come and look over their street
may get him by phone at the city
engineers office or at home.
1t is imperative that where the
grade is not completed that advice be
secured as to the proper place for
planting trees so that they will not
have to be moved later on. Mr.
Walkers kind offer of assistance is
greatly appreciated by the ladies.
Never has such a widespread and
effective Identification campaign
been started here and the result at
the end of the year will be surpris-
ing.

Commercial Club
Enthusiastic

A large attendance of Ashland's s
most prominent citizens and the har-
monious spirit which filled the meet
ing marked the Monday night Com
mercial Club session. Instead of the
former spirit Of passive indifference,
new spirit has appeared and be-
lief and hope were written all over
the meetings. progress.
After the minutes were read and
the bills for the month passed upon
the matter of designations and appli-
cations was brought up. A distinct
surprise was caused by the fact that
only two designations were read, both
from people leaving town. Then the
announcement of the application of
eighty-one new members were read
and the announcement met with
cheers.
D. D. Norris reported on the re-
cent banquet.
The membership committee was in
creased by three, Messrs. Croxall,
Norris and Trefren being added to
the old committee of Messrs. Jordan,
Banta and Lamkin. The tenor of
several speeches at this point was
that every member should become a
committee of one to gather in new
members.
Resolutions of thanks were passed
to the Elks for the use of the hall
for the banquet, to the Central Point
band, to the school children, the Ash
land band, the ladies of the Civic I'm.
provement Club, and all who helped
with the booster banquet.
Mayor Johnson then held the
crowd with a pointed and timely talk
in which he spoke of the big gain in
members as being a mere index of
what gain could be made by the prop
er kind of planned effort, and out
lined plan for big booster meet
ing to be held in the Chautauqua
building. The plan was enthusiastic
ally received and was seconded and
added to by several other speakers.
A committee to take charge of the
affair will be appointed later and the
planned for event will be the biggest
in Ashland's history
Several matters of signs were
brought up and some action will be
taken by the club in the near future
as to the placing of signs.
Taken altogether, the meeting was
more harmonious and enthusiastic
than has been held for many years
and speaks well for the future Of
the Commercial Club and Ashland.
