Council Ties on
Fourth Fund Vote

The city council met in adjourned
session last Thursday evening and
spent three and a half hours of heated
discussion over the request of the
Springs Dedication celebration COM
mittee for $500 appropriation from
the city funds for the July celebra-
tion.
The council lined up with Nininger,
Lamb and Cornelius favoring the ap-
preparation, and Ashcraft, Root and
Banta opposed. The discussion at
times grew heated and personal. Ad-
journment was taken with the matter
undecided, the mayor taking advan-
tage of his perogative to withhold his
deciding vote until the next regular
meeting.
The opposition was based on the
contention that their was not enough
money in the publicity fund to cover
the $500 asked and that it was not
legal to transfer the amount from
other funds. The councilmen in
favor of the donation held as their
belief that the majority of the people
favored giving this sum toward the
amount which is being made up by
from the merchants and
seek a legal way of making the ap-

Band Makes Hit
In First Concert

Despite a chilly breeze which made
overcoats most desirable, crowd of
over thousand people gathered in
the park last evening to hear the Ash
land band in it's first concert of the
season. And everyone felt amply re-
paid for their walk. The Ashland
band rendered a smooth and polished
concert which would make many a
professional band hold fast to its
laurels. Every number was played
with precision and expression which
could only be attained by months of
hard practice. Over fifty automobiles
lined the drive above the bandstand
and hundreds Of people thronged the
fountain plaza, giving an indication
Of the thousands who will attend the
concerts this summer when the
weather is a little more suitable and
the concerts more widely advertised.

tions in the city.

Club Will Collect
Carload Of Rags

A carload of rags. Seems like
quite contract but the Civic I'm
provement club has inaugurated a
campaign to collect all of the rags
which their members and friends can
dig up from the garret, the store
house and the ragbag and hope to
be able to gather a carload and real
ize a considerable sum from them.
Every member and friend of the club
is urged to save the rags. The club
ladies will send a committee to COL
lect them. The rags are worth prac-
tically nothing to each individual, but
when the aggregate saving of a com
is brought together a huge
amount will be the result and the
returns realized upon them will count
up. Paper scraps and old rubber,
tires and the like, should also be
saved, as later the club may decide |
TO collect these.

Some Exceedingly
Dirty Politics

Candidates for sheriff against
Curly Wilson have at last come to
the dirty politics stage. Who other
than they would be interested in in
spring the charge that Mr.. Wilson
was partisan in the Martin trial? The
sheriffs office force, in the Martin
case, as in every other case, simply
performed its duty and on the wit
ness stand told the truth as they saw
1t. Ashland peoplpe generally be-
lieved Martin guilty of murder and
expected that he would be convicted.
If Martin was justified in the act of
killing Hubbard no good citizen would
desire that he suffer for the act. On
the other hand, il Martin feloniously
and wilfully murdered Hubbard, no
good citizen should desire his acquit-
tai. That he was acquitted was no
fault of the sheriff's office. It was
the duty of that office to apprehend
Martin and hold him to account to
the court for his act, and when called
upon to testify to state the facts
which were found in connection with
the killing. That the sheriff's office
did.
If Martin was cleared when he
should have been convicted, the blame
should be laid exactly where it be-
longs, at the door of the district at
torneys office. 1t was his. duty to
find and present the facts, and if the
case went awry it did so because of
Kelly's laxity. 1t will be remembered
that Putnam complained bitterly at
the time on account OF Martins ac-
quittal and charged the fault to the
court, to the sheriff's office and to
everything and everybody, except his
protege, Kelly, who was more largely
responsible for the failure to convict
than all other agencies combined.
The letter of B. C. Hubbard, pub
iished in the Record, is there for the
purpose of discrediting Wilson's can
didacy. Some of the candidates op-
posed to him no doubt inspired the
communication. Putnam, having first
made the unfounded charge against
the sheriff and ceing secretly support
ing Grjeves for the nomination, leaves
it to appear that Grieves directly in
spired Mr.. Hubbard. by working on
his prejudice, to come forth with the
story with intent to damage Wilson
in the interest OF Grieve. That is un-
derhanded, dirty politics, and If
Grieves had hand in it he deserves
defeat for the republican nomination
for sheriff.
Officials should not be censured for
performing their plain duty. That is >
what Sheriff Singler and Curly"
Wilson did in the Martin case.

Hordes Of Gypsies
Bound for North

Ten wagonloads OF Gypsies passed
through this city in one party Tues
day morning and others are going
through daily. According to the
story told by the Gypsies they are all
headed for a big reunion to be held
somewhere in Oregon.
The score of automobiles which
passed through last week loaded to
the mudguards with Gypsies, big and
little, created much interest. While
in the city the Gypsies tried to buy
old tires, trade cars and tell fortunes.
One woman, who was sick, applied
to a local doctor for treatment and
then insisted on telling his fortune

The juvenile committee of the Civic
Improvement Club, consisting of Mes
danes Perozzi, Chanttin and Briscoe.
is corresponding with several appli-
cants for the position of directress
for the Lithia Park children's play

their efforts to secure a directress to
supervise the children's play. The
directress will assume her duties on
June l and be at the playground all
day and every day throughout the
summer.

en- care Of and the play of the chill
dren will be made interesting and
free from danger at all times.
The candy sale which will be held
during the pageant in the park Satur-
day afternoon will be for the benefit
of this project, the money realized to

keeping of the directress. Everyone
is urged to bring along a few cents to
buy candy, and all who wish to help
the project will be lending material
aid by making some candy and turn

Town, Escapes with Fine and

ia Although the meeting of the Board
Of Police commissioners lasted only
80 minutes last night, much business
was disposed of, including the hear
ing of policeman on charges. Police
man John A. O'Brien was arratgned
for leaving the city without the writ
ten permission of Superintendent Jonn
H. Redgate.
He pleaded guilty to the charge,
and claimed thoughtlessness and ig-
norance Of the rule in question as his
excuse. He is one Of the new police
men appointed last May, and has an
excellent record. He has made 43
arrests, one of them important.
Because of this he was only fined
Is days pay and was given repri-
mand.
It was decided that in the future an
effort would be made for better special
policemen. It is likely that in the
near future all applicants for said
appointing will be obliged to appear
