BLACKNlAIIIER'S
THREATS FAIL TO
MATERIALIZE

Following the unavailing efforts
OF local police authorities and the
sheriff's office for the past several
weeks TO apprehend the perpetrator
OF an attempted blackmail OF DR..
Francis G. Swedenburg, $50 Boule-
yard, prominent Ashland doctor now
touring the southern states, for
81 900, the physicians home is now
guarded by armed men, according
to statements by the police depart
ment.
Police state that prior TO the de-
parture OF Dr.. and Mrs. Swedenburg
the early part OF this month, the
doctor received two notes, printed
in crude long-hand fashion, signed
IL. w. W." and demanding $1,000.
Each note contained threat to blow
the Swedenburg home ito hell If
the demand was not complied with
and the money dropped from mov-
ing car at the north end of the Noun
tain View cemetery at 10 O'Clock the
night of October 10.
The notes were not taken serious
ly by the Swedenburgs and were
turned over to the police for in
yestigation. Continued efforts to
locate the note writer after the first
threat was made were without re-
suits. DR.. and Mrs. Swedenburg,
thinking the whole matter the work
of a practical joker and refusing to
consider the threats seriously, left
Ashland for six weeks tour OF
eastern and southern states. leaving
their two daughters, Genevieye and
Eleanor, at the home. Besides the
two girls, Miss Louise Lennart Is
living in the Swedenburg home.
In the morning or afternoon Of
October 10, police state that third
note was slipped under the door Of
the threatened home. The letter
emphasized the fact that the time
limit for giving the money had ex-
pired and reiterated the threat II the
previous notes. That evening the
police planted" a bulky envelope
dropped from a moving auto of the
same make driven by DR.. Sweden
burg. The envelope was marked
81, 900 and placed according to the
instructions of the wOuld-be black
mailer. With a Gordon of special
policemen detailed to the scene OF
action near the Mountain View ceme-
terry, developments were awaited,
but failed to materialize. The only
suspicious sign OF any kind was the
sudden departure OF a Ford roadster
that had been parked near the ceme-
terry.
A few days after the failure OF the
attempted ruse a telephone call was
received at the Swednburg residence
inquiring particulars relative to the
conduct OF the home during the alb
sence of the doctor. The unknown
man, thought at first by the police
to be a railroad employe, demanded
that he be told "who paid the bill3

POsTMAsTERs OF
COUNTRY PREPARE
FOR RAILROAD STRIKE

With the nationwide strike OF
railroad employees scheduled to take
effect October 80, threatening ia
embarrass the United States mai
service, preparations are being made
by postmasters of Jackson county to
maintain the same standard of mail
delivery service to all southern Ore
gon cities.

ern Oregon chambers OF commerce
conference here yesterday, conferred
with +. j. Kaiser, local postmaster
as to the possibilities of maintaining
mail service over the Ashland
Klamath Falls route in case the rail.
road strike should result in fight
to a finish. Ashland is the most
feasible route for such service IN
case the Weed-Klamath Falls rail
road is unable to operate. The strike
is expected to be very serious over
that route, as the Shasta division
is one OF the strongest organized
labor divisions in the United States
all the various brotherhoods having
maintained well-established organ
izations ever since the division was
created several years ago.
The present temporary star route
service between Ashland and Klam-
ath Falls was established three years
ago and covers daily newspapers and
letters only from trains So, Ia and
IL. All other mail goes in by way
Of Weed. II is carried from April to
November by Charles B. Howard S
auto stage line. klamath Falls is a
7ery important office in itself and
in addition is the gateway for all the
mail service throughout klamath
county and part of southern Lake
county. Should the postoffice de-
partment, in case of this emergency,
adopt this plan OF getting the mail
to klamath Falls, il would require
a large amount of trucking for the
parcel post, magazines and cata-
logues.
If the railroad strike actually takes
place and no mail trains should be
able to operate, 1t is believed that
the postoffice department would un-
doubtedly inaugurate an inter-city
delivery service by motor cars and
trucks throughout the state to han
die local mail. The Pacific highway
would be great aid in operating
such a service.
The Southern Pacific has 1900
employees In Oregon, practically all
of whom are members of the four
great railroad brotherhoods.

notice that the Santa Fe railroad

ing ample show at Medford:
By PROF. F. C. REIMER
Experiment Station
The writer was one Of the judges
at the recent pear show, and wishes
TO emphasize the fact that much Of
the fruit shown there had been se-
lected with great care and by people
who really knew what constitutes
high-class fruit. Considering that
this was the first pear show ever
held in the valley, 1t Is really re-
markable that such large percent
age of the fruit had been so core
fully selected. However, some OF
the fruit shown demonstrated
clearly that the exhibitor either was
in a great hurry or had shipped all
OF his good fruit before he made his
selections. A few OF the plates
could hardly have been classed
above culls. Since the writer has
Judged at numerous fruit shows and
at five state fairs, he may be par.
doned for making the following sug-
gestions on the selection of fruit for
the coming Rogue River Valley Ap-
pie exposition:
Type
The fruit should be typical OF
well-grown fruit of the variety in
shape, size and color. A Newtown,
a Spitzenburg, a Jonathan and a
Delicious each have a characteristic
form; hence in selecting get speci-
mems as near the characteristic type
of the variety as possible. The size
of the fruit should be typical of we'll
grown fruit of the variety, not too
large nor too small. Some people
have the impression that very large
fruit is most likely to win first prize.
The latest fruit seldom wins be-
cause 1t is not typical. A Newtown
the size of a cocoanut is interesting,
but 1t is a monstrosity, not a first.
class fruit. Newtowns and Spitzen-
burgs which will pack from 100 to
$50 per box are more representative
of that variety than larger or smaller
fruits. The specimens should be
well colored for the variety. A
typical Newtown is greenish or
greenish yellow. At least rs per cent
of Spitzenburg, a Jonathan or a
Delicious should be covered with red
with the remainder OF the fruit an
attractive yellow.
Uniformity
Most exhibitors fail because the
five specimens on the plate or those
in the box lack uniformity. The in
diVidual specimens may be perfect,
but there is too much variation be-
tween them. They may vary in size,
form or color. A company Of SOL
dlers in uniform looks better than In
civilian clothes; and a company uni
form in size better than a lot Of
giants and runts mixed. In some
orchards most OF the Newtowns are
roundish in form, and the orchard

WILSON RODE IN
FUNERAL PROCESSION

First Public Appearance Of the Form
or President Since He Left White
House Several Months Ago. Great
Ovation.
Washington, Nov. 11.-Former
President Wilson made his first pub,

White House riding in the funeral
procession for the unknown dead SOL

cred at his home.
Everywhere Mr.. Wilson was given a
demonstration. When his carriage en-
tered the funreal line at the foot of
the capitol hill he was greeted with a
fiuttering of handkerchiefs and then
with hand-clapping and cheering
which continued until he left the line
after passing the white House, where
he exchanged salutes with President
Harding.
The demonstration at his home was
Of greater proportions. 1t was arrang-
cd as a non-partisan affair by a COM
mittee of seven women for whom
Hamilton Holt of New York, was
spokesman.

soldier of the World War, on your re-

front portico OF his home to receive
the committee. 1--WE pledge you our
honor and respect. Your work shall
not die"
when the cheering which greeted

repeated calls.
Half an hour before the committee
of women arrived, four wounded sol
diers from Walter Reed hospital drew
up In front Of the home in an automo-
bile. A few minutes later the former
President appeared. There was cheer
and the crowd rushed from all sides,
scattering police as boy scouts until
the street was checked.
Mr.. Wilson doffed his high hat in re-
Isponse to the cheers and then was as
sisted as he slowly descended tho
steps. He shook hands with each of
the wounded men in turn as the crowd
continued its cehering ad waving OF
handkerchiefs, flags and flowers.
Returning to the steps a few feet
away, the former President received a
group of little children, shaking hands
with each. Several punches of chrys-

children and by women who rushed to

Mr.. Wilson re-entered his home, but
soon appeared at an upper window In
response to continued applause. Soon

many cities resulted in changes of
party control.
The outstanding case Of statewide
Democratic victory was in Kentucky
where that party regained control Of
the legislature, which has been Re
publican for two years. In Maryland,
where the entire lower house was
elected, with 81 members Of the sen
ate, Democratic control increased.
In Virginia the Democratic guber-
Material candidate, State Senator e.
Lee Trinkle, led his Republican oppo-
nent by wide margin, which eX-
tended also to his running mates, in
Guiding j. Murray Hooker, the partys
candidate for representative in con

In the New York assembly the Dem
