Auto Accident on
Medford Streets

An automobile collision occurred
in Medford Wednesday afternoon
which created considerable excite
ment, but fortunately resulted in No
serious injuries to the people WHO
we're in the cars. F. H. Madden, driy-
ing his Dodge coupe car, was coming
down the south side of West Main
street, DR.. Charles T. Sweeney, driv-
ing a Ford car in which were Mrs.
Delbert Williams and 16-months-old
baby of Medford, and Mrs. Josephine
Houston of Applegate, was going west
on the north side of Main street, and
Ralph Bardwell was coming north on
Fir street and turning into Main
street.
Just as Mr.. Madden reached Fir
street he swerved his car aside to
avoid striking the car of Bardwell,
who had the right of way, and crash
ed heavily into the Sweeney car.
Mrs. Williams and baby were hurled
into the street by the impact and
Mrs. Houston was thrown up against
the windshield, which was badly
broken and smashed. Mrs. Houston
suffered some cuts on the hands. The
baby and Mrs. Williams escaped with
bruises. The front wheels and fen
ders of both cars were badly smash
ed. Madden's car was hurled into
the Medford cigar store stand and
Sweeney's hurled across Fir street.
Or. Sweeney, without even waiting
to find out whose car had struck his
auto procured another car immedi-
ately and hurried Mrs. Williams and
baby and Mrs. Houston to his Office.

Splendid Mineral
Baths to Be Installed

The council has just closed con-
tract with the Austin Hotel Company
for the use of the mineral waters for
bath purposes. The hotel company
will fit up the space over the new
addition to the hotel into a fine bath
department, equipping it with mod
ern shower baths, hot rooms, sitz
baths, manipulation slabs. electric
baths and such equipment as will en-
able them to administer the mineral
waters in all manners necessary for
effective elimination treatment.
The baths will not be large but will
be complete The hotel company
under the contract, have the use of
the mineral waters until such time as
they are needed for larger sani-
tarium.
1t will require couple of months
to complete the bathrooms and install
the equipment, after which time Ash
land will be in position to administer
health baths in the latest and most
approved style.
This is the last touch necessary, in
the resort development, to put Ash
land in shape to administer her min
eral waters in the most effective man
ner, both for drinking and baths.
The Ashland Commercial Club is
instrumental in bringing about this
project. For some time this has been
a pet theory of theirs, and they have
been using their influence to bring
the scheme to a final consummation.

Wreck Suspect
Lands In Jail

John Matenas, known as "Blacky,
an Italian l. w. W., hailing from 81.
Louis, was picked up Tuesday even
ing by NJ. Coutri and P. Mahoney,
special agents of the Southern Pa
cific, and brought before Justice Tay-
lor of Medford Wednesday, where at
ter a brief examination he was given
sentence of ten days in Jail for
vagrancy.
Although the authorities are very
reticent about the matter, 1t is fu-
mored that Blacky is suspected Of
having attempted the wreck of the
Shasta Limited by placing tie on
the track near Seven Oaks, a few
weeks ago. How the wreck was
avoided or what evidence there is
regarding the men who tried to pull
it" could not be learned A friend
of Matenas who was arrested at the
same time but released admitted that
the former planned to steal JUNK
around the railroad, but he denied
any knowledge of a plot to wreck the
Shasta.
Matenas also denied any connec-
ton with such an attempt, but appaf-
emily the S. P. had sufficient infor-
nation to justify holding him until
the matter is more carefully looked
into. Matenas' I. w. w. card was
No. 24S,0O0, and indicated the pos
SCISSOR was in good standing. He
showed no particular resentment at
being given a berth in the county
lookup.

sincerely hope that the benefits con-
templated by the bill will be realized" /"
said Charles w. Fairfax, president Of
the association, today.
I'VE hope it will work out for the
benefit OF all, but we think time will
show lack OF wisdom in the passage
OF such a bill. Hundreds OF furnished
quarters probably will be withdrawn
from the market II the bill becomes
q law. These accommodations would
have served good purpose until the
Governments program Of housing in
the District was concluded. This
benefit probably will be lost now, as
owners could not move into any part
OF their premises, under the pro-
visions Of the bill, until after the
close Of the war"

THE KoVzE HERO.

The Salisbury anti-eviction resolu-
ton passed by the Senate yesterday
and before President Wilson for his
signature today will bring relief TO
thousands OF Government employees.
Navy Yard employees and other
trained mechanical workers will be
especially benefited II the resolution
becomes a law, according to Capt
Julius !. Peyser, of the housing sec
don OF the War Department Captain
Peyser said these employees had been
the particular quarry OF property
owners, who have held over their
heads threats OF eviction unless they
pay greatly increased rates OF rent
President Wilson will sign the
resolution and any court in the coun-
try will uphold IL as constitutional,
said Captain Peyser. He recalled the
cases OF sixty trained mechanics OF
the Navy Yard who had been served
with thirty-day move notices."
These men, he said, will be able to
continue living in Washington II the
bill becomes a law. Otherwise,
Captain Peyser declared, they might
have to leave the city, and this would
tend to interrupt the program Of the

LONDON-TO-NORWAY AIR
MAIL TO BEAT U-BOATS

LONDON, May 2s.-An aerial mail
route from London to Norway is be-
ing urged on the British government
by Norwegian officials.
Captain Gyth Delhi, director Of the
seaplane works of the Norwegian
navy. is in London to obtain aid from
England.
Mail and passenger traffic between
Norway and the British isles has been
kept up during the war. Some lives
have been lost and considerable mail
has been sent TO the bottom Of the
ocean
The average time for mails TO reach
Norway from England is ten days.
This means heavy expenditure in
telegraphing and travelling. There
fore Delhi suggests An aerial mail
service, which could cover the dis
tance in four and a half hours.
Delhi would begin an aerial post
with two machines between Aberdeen
and StGVanger.

Passes After Debate.
After lengthy debate, the Senate
adopted the conference report on the
Salisbury resolutions BY 81 to IL.
Bitter protests against The resolution
by Senators Fletcher, Reed, GAllingsr.
and Brandegee did not avail. The
proponents OF the resolution for the
most part sat silent and allowed the
opposition 70 do most Of the talking,
although Senators Pomerene and
Salisbury spoke at considerable
length in advocating the measure.
Under the resolution. existing leases
will be continued until close Of the war
or until Congress enacts other legisla-
ton Increases in rents a. hxed in writ
ten or oral agreements are forbidden.
Tenants cannot be evicted through color
able sales. Both residence and business
property is reached by the resolution A
purchaser Of property cannot dispossess
the tenant except for his own occupancy.
A landlord may not recover possession OF
his property unless for occupation by
hul11us NlLes OF cniluren, or QepenQents =,
while "he Is In the employ Of or officially
connected with any branch Of the Gov
ernment." The tenant must pay the
rent and conduct himself in accord with
the usual conditions Of tenancy.
Admits Injustice
In the course Of the debate, Sena-
tor Saulsbury admitted some injus-
tiee might be done by the resolution.
but said that on the whole there were
thousands OF clerks who would be
protected from extortion.
Senators Borah, BrandeEse, and
others predicted the measure would
be found unconstitutional. But SEN
ator Thomas said that Congress had
exclusive Jurisdiction over the Dis,
trict' and may act regarding It Is it
sees mt
1t is considered not improbable that
real estate interests will test the
resolution in the courts.
Moreover, though the real estate in
terests have been opposed to the
resolution, and some Of the
other plans proposed against proh-
teering in rentals, II is expected they
will now try to hasten action in Con-
gross for an agreement on something
like the Pomerene measure in order
that the SaulSburY plan may be sup
planted

So sanguine Of success are they that
they have reduced their capital stock

the sale Of further stock will not be

from this class: New York, Okla
homa, Delaware, Texas, Pennsylvan-
ia. Ohio, Massachusetts,, Connecticut.

New York leads in every class and

Oklahoma, one of the baby" states.
should stand second in the highest
class, its payments more than doub-
ling those Of Delaware and Of Texas,
trebling those of Pennsylvania, and
being nearly six times those Of Ohio.
In fact its surtaXes from this class
equal the total of all the other states
after excluding New York and Penn

count for such a showing either in
