Baker, two i,city commissioners, a city engin eer and a contractor, were freed of malfeasance charges today by a (directed verdict of acquittal in cir cuit court. The verdict, given by Judge Rob ert S. Tucker, ended the trial of the five which had been in pro gress 12 days. Baker, and Com missioners John M. Mann and Earl Riley were charged with malfeas ance in office, accused of having agreed to pay $200,000 too much for a municipal market site. City | Engineer O. Laurgaard, and C. Lee (Wilson, a contractor, were indict ed as accessories. For two days and a half defense and prosecution attorneys had ar gued the defense motion for a di rected verdict of acquittal. Counsel for the defendants insisted that if the price agreed upon actually was too high, the mistake was one of judgment; that the propriety of the deal had been passed upon by the city attorney, and that the en tire council had agreed upon the sum as a fair price. Commissioner A. L. Barbur, who seconded the motion agreeing to buy the site, was not indicted. Mayor Baker and Commissioner Mann, although freed today of re sponsibility in the malfeasance case, have had the recall invoked them for alleged inefficiency and negligence.

New Sunday Prices 10c Till 2—15c Till 6 25c Nights Doors Open 1:4S (Note: Student guest tickets good on evening price only.) ► TALKIE TOPICS 4 -CHRONICLING WHAT’S HERE AND WHAT’S COMING McDonald — “Young- America,’’ featuring Doris Kenyon and Spencer Tracy, Today only. State — “Whistlin’ Dan,” with Ken Maynard. Last time to day. Colonial — “Shanghai Express,” starring Marlene Dietrich and Warner Oland. Showing for the last time today. Rex — “Peach o’Reno,” with Wheeler and Woolsey. Show ing today only. Bennett at McDonald There are Browns and Browns | but this particular Mr. Brown | wasn’t the Brown she thought he was although he turned out to be | the Brown she wanted. That in essence is the peculiar vehicle for a most charming little plot which gives Joan Bennett and John Boles just lots of opportunity to make another good picture. “Careless Lady,” is the title of this picture and in our opinion is well named in more ways than one. In the beginning Joan just couldn’t keep her stockings up—in the end she had a dozen men after her, and she didn’t know which one was her real husband. Changing from a sloppy little bespeckled lady who was closely guarded by two well-meaning but rather prud ish aunts, Joan undergoes a "trans formation” which does wonders and then experiences some rapid fire in a very few months. In spite of the many gorgeous situations that she finds herself and the numerous men who seek her, Joan maintains a certain some thing that puts her over in won derful style. Her lines are short and decidedly spicy but the way she tosses her head and casts glances are something that is hers alone. John Boles, as the melodious lover has a role which calls for | some good singing and wooing. “Young America,” with Doris | Kenyon, Spencer Tracy, and Tom | my Conlon is playing today only. “Letty Lynton,” featuring Lewis ■ Stone, Robert Montgomery, May v. vyv. Joan Crawford and Nils. Asther who are coming Sunday in “Letty Lynton,” at the McDonald. Hobson, and Joan Crawford is the feature coming to the McDonald Sunday for three days. “Letty Lynton,” is a tense drama of the modern age, of society and in trigue, with an amazing dramatic climax in which the heroine faces the choice between prison and loss of her reputation. * * * Dietrich at Colonial Marlene Dietrich, Warner Oland and Clive Brook are the leads in “Shanghai Express,” which is showing at the Colonial for the last time today. Dietrich has won high acclaim in this film for her su perbness of acting and interpreta tion. Warner Oland as usual plays an oriental role with all the mys tery attached. “Shanghai Express” is a story of life in a railroad car in China, there is love, mystery and plenty of action—you’ll like it. Gloria Swanson comes Sunday for two days in “Indiscreet.” Ken Maynard at State Ken Maynard is showing in “Whistlin’ Dan,” at the State for the last time today. In addition to the current film there is a Mid night stage show featuring Bob Pettichord’s “Frolic Land,” revue. "Law of the Tong,’’ is the Sun day feature coming to the State. Wheeler and Woolsey at Rex Those two gay purveyors of non sense and smiles, Wheeler and Woolsey are at it again this time in "Peach o’ Reno,” a gay satire on the divorce mill and whatnot. “Peach o' Reno,” not only has plenty of real snappy dialogue but there is action that is both unusual and unpremeditated. Showing for today only. In striking contrast to the Sat urday show, "Way Back Home,” featuring Seth Parker and his Jonesport friends is coming Sunday for two days. Seth and his singers have won wide acclaim for their ra dio programs and are equally as good on the screen. * * * Ted Lewis To Appear Ted Lewis, famed band leader and entertainer makes his first Portland appearance today at the Paramount theatre with a com pany of 30 people, fresh from smashing attendance records in Los Angeles, Hollywood and San Francisco. This is the biggest show Lewis has ever had with him. There is Elsie McLeod, featured dancer; the Dixie Four, Charles "Snow ball'’ Whittier, Little Joe and of course That Band.
