Put Road in Shape
for Klamath Crowd

The following is an extract from a
letter received by the Springs Cele-
bration committee:
EVERY other person in klamath
Falls owns car, and the ratio is
nearly as great for the rest of the
county, including the Indian reserva-
tion. Practically everybody owning
a car is figuring on going to Ashland,
taking his family or neighbors, so
there ought to be pretty big turnout
from here"
The heavy rains of last week have
put the Green Springs mountain road
in poor condition, but the committee
has the assurance from Jack True,
the roadmaster, that a crew will be
kept constantly on that road, so that
it will be in the very best of condi-
tion for travel during the entire sea-
son.
In order to take care of all the Wis
itors the people of Ashland must open
their homes and provide sleeping ac-
commodations. If you have an extra
bedroom, tents with cots and the like,
Just let the secretary of the CONNER
cial Club know about 1t as soon as
possible. Tell him what you expect
to charge these people and If you will
serve meals and at what price. Natur-
ally it is expected that the charges
will be reasonable, but here is an
opportunity for our citizens to pick
up quite sum Of money that the
visitors expect to leave with US.

May Tell Of Turkey j
In Ashland Park

DR.. Clarence USHER, who has but
recently returned by way of Russia,
and through a series of thrilling res
cues and experiences, from Turkey,
where he was doing medical mission
ary work, will be in Ashland next
week and will tell of the conditions,
the work, the awful persecution, war
fare and turmoil in Turkey, with
enough of his personal experiences
in to make the pictures vivid.
Dr. USHER is touring the country and
speaks in all the big cities of the
coast. That Ashland will have an
opportunity to hear him is due in the
main to the fact that his brother, W
w, USHER, lives here and the lecturer
will make a visit Of three or four
days with him.
1t is thought that It may be possi-
Bile to arrange meeting for men at
the Commercial Club rooms on Tues
day evening to hear DR.. Usher.
There is to be picnic of the mis-
sionary societies of the various
churches of the city Tuesday, June 6.
are being made to
have all the women of Ashland gather
in the park following the picnic on
Tuesday and hear DR.. Usher at 3
.. m. While the picnic is for the
missionary society members only, the
address will be for all the women OF
he city.

Register Now and
Have It Over with

Registration is again open and all
who failed to get their names on the
registration list prior to the primary
election now have an opportunity to
register.
The county registration is far be-
low the total of last year and voters
should get the agony over with. The
registration will be open until 80
days before the fall election but that
presents no argument for postponing
the duty until the last day and then
forgetting it.
Under the present law one regis
tration will do until the voter moves
into new precinct.

Thousands Of Roses
For Soldier Dead

A few familiar faces missing from
the column, but those who are left,
heads up and shoulders thrown back
as in those long ago years when gray
hairs were unknown, the Burnside
Post of the Grand Army of the Re-
public marched again through the
streets of Ashland to join in Me-
mortal day services at the graves OF
their fallen comrades. The faithful
wives and daughters of the Women's
Relief Corps were in line as we'll.
Ahead of the veterans marched the
Coast Artillery Corps company, many
mere boys and the oldest still in the
prime of life, their very spring and
youth lending by the contrast an in
effable pathos to the sight of the file
of veterans. And as if turning the
pages back from sixty years to twen-
ty-one and again to ten years, there
followed the lines of school children
bearing their loads of fragrant blos-
SONS.
This one day of the busy year men
turn aside from self-interests, from
the hustle of business and the drag Of
personal cares and stand by the road
side with hats off while the column
of soldiers in faded blue pass by. A
patriotism and love of country which
lies dormant cannot but be aroused
at the sight of the remnant of the
brave army of men who preserved us
our country.
Mother Nature lent gracious CO.
operation and the roses were at their
best. Thousands upon thousands
they were heaped upon the graves OF
the soldier dead after the impressive
services in the cemtery had been held.
After the flower baskets were
empty the procession again formed
and marched to the armory, where an
appropriate program was given. The
entire assemblage sang America
Rev. Douglass pronounced the invoca-
tion. The departmental orders of the
G. A. R. were read, flag drill was
enjoyed, selections by the ladies'
quartet, composed of Misses Jilson,
Dahuff Whitsit and Anderson, we're
appreciated and encored. A solo by
Miss Engle and reading by our own
"Dick Posey" were numbers which
added greatly to the entertainment
of the afternoon. c. M. Thomas of
Medford delivered the address of the
day and won his hearers with a pleas
ing and apropos talk. The audience
sang "The Star Spangled Banner"
and Rev. Smith pronounced the bene-
diction.
The Ashland band led the process
sion to the cemetery, playing Chopin's
and Rock Hill funeral dirges. The
band led the return with military
airs.
Lunch for the Grand Army and
Relief Corps was spread in the mess
room at the Armory and at 1880 in
the afternoon services we're held for
the sailor dead who found their
graves in the briny deep. For this
ceremony the military organizations
gathered at the Atkinson memorial
bridge in Chautauqua Park, where
the Relief Corps conducted the beau
tiful ritual prescribed for such occa-
sions. Flowers were strewn upon the
water The singing was led by Mrs.
e. q. Miller, senior vice-president OF
the corps. =

Ellis Neil Suicide
Cause Unknown

The entire community was shocked
last Monday evening when news of
the death by suicide of Ellis Neil was
learned. With bright business pros
poets and a host of friends on every
side, Ellis Neil, to quote a friend was
"the last person on earth whom any,
one would dream of committing sui
eide"
The deceased was last seen about
9:30 Sunday evening and his agitated
appearance was noticed by friends
but was attributed to headache or
other minor i'll. He did not appear
at his place of business, the New
Tread Tire Company, Monday, and
his partner and friends became wor-
ried, thinking him i'll. After dinner
Monday evening his brother-in-l law,
Howard Barrett, went up to the Har-
gadine street residence of Mr.. Neil
and found all of the doors locked and
curtains down. He called up Ellis's
brother, Elmo Neil, on the telephone
and the latter same up and pushing
key which was on the inside out of
the door, entered, to find his broth
ers' body stretched out on the bed.
Investigation seemed to indicate
that the deceased had upon arrival at
his home Sunday evening stuffed up
the keyholes and cracks of the win
dows and doors of the bathroom and
the room next to it. lie then must
have put a quarter in the apparatus
attached to the gas heater in the
bathroom and taking off his outer
clothes wrapped up in blanket and
laid down on the bed.
Mrs. Ellis Neil was visiting her par
ents at their ranch east of town and
was almost prostrated when news of
the tragedy reached her. The sui
eide left no note OF any kind, as far
as has been learned, and the cause
of the act remains shrouded in mys-
terry.
AS far as can be learned, his finan-
cial affairs were in good shape. He
had but recently taken the agency for
an automobile here and had entered
into partnership with Mr.. Weaver in
the tire re-treading and garage bust
ness.
Ellis Neil was married last June to
Miss Irene Barrett, one of the most
beautiful and popular young ladies of
Ashland. He was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. A. Neil, pioneer residents of
this district. Two brothers, Elmo
and Jesse, both of Ashland, and two
sisters, Mrs. Gerald Terrence of Hit
and Miss Angie of Ashland, survive
him. His mother died of heart fail
ure in San Francisco last fall.
The deceased was born near Ash
land and was 9S years, s months and
4 days old. Several years ago he was
considered one of the most promising
young ball players in the valley, but
rheumatism put an end to his athletic
career and he went into business in
Roseburg, where he was very highly
regarded. He returned to Ashland
about two years ago. He was men,
ber of the Ashland lodge of Elks,
and the funeral services we're held
Wednesday afternoon from the Elks'
Temple, a host of friends attending
to pay their last tribute to a most
highly regarded friend.

ON the train when they got out Mt Phlla-
deIphia. 1 intended to leave 1t where It
could be returned to them"
This was the explanation offered by Ed
ward ]. Quigley, OF New York. when he
was arrested at the Union Station in Bal
timore last night In little black satchel
carried by Quigley was more than $500, 900
worth of securities, which were stolen on
February % from mail sacks on ferry
boat of the Central Railroad of New Jer.
sey bound from Jersey City to New York.
Philadelphia police are working on the
case.
1t was only by merest chance that
Quigley was apprehended. The prisoner
was arrested on suspicion of being wanted
in st. Louis for raising money orders.
An alleged confederate. named George
F. Windall, was arrested with him, but
is held on a technical charge.
Quigley fought against arrest and tried
to get a loaded pistol from his pocket,
but was overpowered by the inspectors,
and 1t and quantity of what is believed
to be cocaine was taken from him. His
but denied that they knew each other.
although the inspectors saw them together.
When told TO open his grip, Quigley pro-
tested and said he could not be made to-
give IL up. II contained a large bundle
with old newspapers for a wrapping In
side were found certificates OF stock of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad,
New York city stock and other securities

found in the satchel. attached to certifi-
Gates for 100 shares of Union Pacific and
100 shares of Northern Pacific stock.
Chief Postoffice Inspector j. c. Koons
said he believed that the satehel con-
tanned all the securities which had been
sent from Baltimore in the registered
mail pouches stolen on the New York
ferryboat. Some of the securities found
in the satchel were mailed from Wash
ington One of the stolen pouches was
from Baltimore and three were from
washington. Inspector Koons said that
there had not been time enough TO check
up all the securities found In the satchel,
but from early Identification tonight, he
says that they are those stolen on the
ferryboat
One theory of the Postoffice people here
is that he came on intending TO make
deal with the persons owning the securi-
ties. Thomas +. Benson. who was re-
leased in New York today on bail. on
the charge OF stealing some other pouches,
is thought to be a confederate OF ouig-
ley. One took the jewelry and the other
the securities. in the offieials' opinion.
Quigley said that he is SO years old
and lives in New York. but that he be-
longs in Ridgefeld Park. N. ]. He is

ATTEMPTS TO INTERN
AMERICANS IN MEXICO

Makes Threat-Bandit Lead
ers Offer to Surrender

Ell PASO, Texas, April 22.-Internment
and deportation OF Americans has been
threatened by General Jacinto Trevino,
Carranza commander-in-chief in northern
Mexico, according to refugees from Tor
reon today. Trevinos plan is expected
to be put in execution Immediately In the
Torreon and Laguna districts. There are
"a Americans in Torreon.
Trevino has announced, according to
refugees, that Carranza is ready for war.
Trevino conferred Monday with Patrick
O'Shea, British Consul at Torreon, and
told him of the plan TO intern Americans
at Torreon and send those from Laguna
to the border Trevino favors the use of
the British soap factory at Lajabonera,
near Torreon, as prisoner camp. Consul
o'Shea, acting in behalf of the American
Government was persuading the Ameri-
cans to flee to the border.
Bandit chiefs of Durango were con-
ferring with the Carranza representative
at Pedrecenia, Durango, according to the
refugees, arranging a conditional sur
render. Carranzista agents went to
Pedrecenia with six trainloads OF sol
diers Canuto Reyes, General Cisneros

der flag of truce with an escort of 80

BANDIT REPORTED FOUND

COLUMBUS, N. NJ, April 22.-Un-

orders from General Funston at San
Antonio. Three hundred infantry
men left for somewhere in Mexico"
Ell PASO, Tex, April pa Car
rama officer at the point of pistol
prevented Mexican mob attacking
the American Consulate at Durango
City, April Ia, according to American
arrivals from there today.
General Funston, following a con-
ference today with Chief of Staff
Scott, issued new orders to all the
American commanders in Mexico.
What these orders are has not been
revealed.
However, work of strengthening
the lines of communication to Gen
eral Pershing continued, and more
troops continued to arrive at Column
bus. 1t is possible that the American
staff is proceeding to protect the
forces in Mexico, pending President
Wilson's disposition of the situation.
Or the new orders and troop move
ment may mean that the Villa hunt
is to go on, regardless of Carranza
opposition.
1t IS established that Carranza
forces are hostile and now so disposed
that attack will be made upon the
American troops should they persist,

WASHINGTON FEARS BERLIN
WILL REFUSE FULL ASSENT
TO PRESIDENTS DEMANDS

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Little hope
that Germany would meet fully the Amer
ican submarine demands was apparent
here today.
Statements of Admiral Won Holtzen.
dorff German Admiralty stafr chief, pub
lished exclusively in the EVENING LEDGER
yesterday. furnished the State Department
the first definite line on the German Of.
fetal attitude.
The conclusion was drawn by some Of
ficlaIs that perhaps modification Of the
sternness of the American demands Of
fered the only chance of avoiding diplo-
matte break. Such a modification is out
of the question, they said.
The United States has held two posi-
tions on submarine warfare. At first
this Government coptended 1t could not
be conducted in accord with international
law. Later. II held this might be pos
sible.
Now, It is indicated officially. 1t will
leave to Germany the question OF whether
she can conduct warfare without violat-
ing international law and still make it eff
fective. Secretary Lansing is known to
feel that II Germany applies the rules Of
visit and search. and provides for safety
OF passengers the undersea campaign will
be robbed of its destructiveness = and
hence, its effectiveness.
Announcement Of the application of the
so-called Mediterranean pledges to the
English death zone probably would not
meet American demands. II is said. mas
much as this Government feels these
pledges have not been effective.
II Germany agrees TO follow the visit
and-search provisions to provide ample
safety for passengers. America will ae-
cept without trouble. But Germany must
adhere to her pledges. She cannot prac-
tice further what officials here regard as
an indlscrinifhate disregard OF neutrals'
rights And IL she does apply such laws
she must-practically speaking-give up
submarine warfare against all merchant
ship by reason OF the nature OF the weapon
she employs
SO, In short, the problem comes down
10 a question OF whether Germany Is
ready for such abandonment, which in any
event must be the first step toward new
