date for the democratic guberna-
torial nomination In the May pri-
mary, this afternoon filed a petit
tion OF Intervention seeking to
intervene in the Olcott-Hall elec-
tion contest.
Purdy declares that because of
the practice Of democrats reregis-
tering as republicans at the polls
In violation OF law, as he alleges,
the election was SO corrupted as
to make 1t entirely null and void,
and he petitions that the court de-
clare It SO.

tion, those of Geo. Putnam, editor
Of The Capital Journal, and B. r.

prior to the primary election "a
fraudulent and corrupt collusive
plan or scheme was entered into
by and between the contestant
and contestee and by and between
a large number of influential
members of the democratic party.
whereby the said members Of the

OREGON
SPEAKERS URGE
ROAD DIVORCE

]. w. Mccullough OF Ontario
Or. representing the Central Ore
gon Development league at the
luncheon held at the Commercial
club rooms this noon said In re-
gard to the proposed unmerging
of the Southern Pacific railway
from the Central Pacific lines 1--WE
are not advocating any certain
system What we do want is some
thing that will develop southeast
ern Oregon and we believe that by
aiding us the Willamette valley
will also be aided IL railroad CON
Meeting the two districts are
built"
He pointed out the instance ir-
rigation projects in Harney coun-
ty covering $4,000 acres Of excel
lent land. Everything is ready
to go but It is impossible to secure
settlers because OF the lack OF
railroad facilities. He cited the
Silver creek and Bitten projects
as being parallel. In some cases
settlers would be $50 miles from q
railroad.
Mr.. Mccullough suggested that
the most probable solution of the
problem would be to urge the Cen
tral Pacific line to build their line
from Crane to Odell Junction,
uniting two branches, so that the
southern part Of Oregon would
be able to send produce to Port
land and Astoria for export. At
the same time he said that by con-
Meeting the lines over 225 miles
would be saved from Eugene to
Granger. Nevada, over the route
down through San Francisco and
then east as is now being done.
w. H. DooIittle OF Ontario also
voiced similar appeal. He said
that the thing for the Willamette
valley people to do was to urge a
railroad to build into central Ore
gon that would benefit Oregon
and not only San Francisco.
Rodger d. PinDeo, general traf-
fic manager OF the Port Of Astoria,
gave a short talk in which he out
lined the good that would be done
to Portland and Astoria II the
Central Pacific line should be
built as urged. He said that such
plan was the only way he could
see whereby Astoria would be
benefited. The Southern Pacific
would not aid them should they
build road in central Oregon be
cause they endeayor TO route all
produce Via San Francisco. The
Central Pacific would bring pro
duce to Portland and either BY
water or rail the produce would
go through Astoria.

NEGRO B0Otblnck
Tells Grand Jury
About Hanging Bee

Medford, Or, July S1.-Dr.
Jouett P. Bray, local chiropractor
and Dwight L. Vimont, former
post office employe, both appear
ed in Medford today ready to go
before the special grand jury in
vestigating Ku Klux Khan activ-
titles in southern Oregon. DR.
Bray made public statement de
nyins he had made any effort tc
avoid the investigation, and de-
claring that he had not heard ht
was subpoened until Saturday
morning when he picked UP q
newspaper at Baker, Or. He assert
ed he was merely enjoying his va
cation and had left his address at
his office in this city.
According to state officials
Bray and Vimont are two of the
most important witnesses in the
cases under investigation.
Arthur Burr, the negro boot
black who was one Of the hang
ing victims, and who has been at
Modesto since, was a witness be-
fore the jury today.
Two members Of the Portland
detective bureau. Inspectors Phil
lips and Tackaberry will make
their bow before the jackson coun-
ty grand jury Monday to explain
how they came to break into the
room OF J. F. Hale, In the Multi
nomah hotel, some time during
April, at the instance Of member
OF the Medford Ku Klux Khan,
and without warrant Of law.
According to the story a mem
ber OF the Medford khan, Fad one
of the trial court as well as a par
ticfpant In the Hale hanging OF
March IT, went TO Portland dur
ing April, after Hale had left this
place and taken up his residence
at the Muitnomah hotel. He also
stopped at the Mpltnomah and one
day. while Hale was out Of town,
obtained the services OF the two
detectives and the three Of them
made search Of the room, but
without having obtained search
warrant or having filed any
charge against Hale that would
have entitled them to one.
They found an automatic re-
yoIver in the room, so the story
continues, and later started to
make trouble for Hale because Of
this. Hale. it is said, raised a little
row With the hotel management
on his own account because OF II
having permitted his room to be
broken into without legal sane
tion, and during this 1t became
known that Hale was armed with
a special permit TO carry a revol-
yer.
1t is contended that at least one
of the detectives who broke intc
the room is member Of the klar
in Portland, and that he was an
swerfng the distress signal OK his
fellow klansman from Medford
rather than the call of duty, wher
he got his partner and the two
Of them entered Haie's room. Al
any rate they are to be called be
fore the grand jury to tell how
they happened to invade Hale'i
domlcile, what they were looking
for and by what authority the,
made the incursion.
