The novelty of the automootie air
plays U that the d'.ffprent dealers
jmracee are used a display booths for
the various makes) of machines handled,
instead of the entire array of machines
of different makes being housed under
one roof, as has been done In previous
Wsowa. The dealers practically oy

the best method of displaying their
cars.

The plan seemed to work like a chsrm.
for the transfer erystem waa ably handled
at all times, and no person Interested In
automobiles experienced any delay In

The service was absolutely free, and very
few other than bonaflde purchasers took
advantage of the srrwem to ere u re a ride,
and It to because that the dealers war
elated with the proposition.
The parade started promptly on time.

dealers' committee In charge of the
parade did not actually count all of the
cars In Una, and estimate waa made by a
reliable committee which placed the num
ter of vehicles of all descriptions in the
lice at 1X0.
After "chug chugging" through the
principal exreeta of the West Side, tha
parada wended Its way across in. new
Hawthorne bridge to Kant Portland, and
thence along Grand avenue to Burnslde
street, where the line of march took a
westward course to the West Side over
the Burnslde bridge to the point of dls-
bandment.
Promptly at 3 o'clock the IraneOr
system" waa placed In operation and the
work of taking prospective purcnasers
and visitors to and from the different
garages commenced. AU of the garages
were tastefully decorated lor tne oc-
raoton. and many new and novel features
are disDlared at each garsge, aa tne
dealer's are able to make larger nd
better display In their own shops than
would be the case were they all under
one roof.
Auto Shipments Delayed.
Some of the dealers are allghtly handl-
rapped at the opening through the failure
of several shipment of cars to arrive
owing to delays to freight traffic points
east of Portland.
"1 am more than pleased with this
method of holding an automobile .show,"
said a prominent dealer yesterday." It
V much more .satisfactory In every way
thst the display of our cars under one
roof. At the recent Los Angeles show
our agncy paid .1S floor space rent.
and our results will not be any greater
than we will receive In Portland by this
new method, where our expensed are
much lees. By this method we are en
abled to show a greater line of cars and
to demonstrate them more effectively. I
have also discovered that the majority
of people visiting our garages are actual
ly contemplating buying a machine, and
th! Is naturally pleasing to us. for we
ire better ablo to demonstrate when we
are sure of making a sale. 1 believe
that the automobile Industry will in
crease fully 0 per cent In U over that
of last year, and this show will be a
means of stimulating interest fn the
trade."

Mrs. Kvalshaug Acquitted of
Murder at Tacoma.
JURY STAYS OUT 37 HOURS
Men Who Return- Verdict Give De
fendant $30 Pnrse Trial Is
Third on Same Charge, Cov
ering Several Months.
TACOMA. Wash., Jan. 23. The Jury
In the trial of Mrs. Martina Kvalshaug
returned a verdict of acquittal at 10:15
this morning, after being out 37 hours.
The woman was charged with com
plicity In the murder of her husband
by Charles Newcombe in May. 1909.
Newcombe waa convicted and sentenced
to be hanged, but an appeal is pend
ing In the United States Supreme Court.
Mrs. Kvalshaug has been tried twice
before, the Jury each time falling to
agree.
Following the acquittal of Mrs. Kval
shaug on the third trial for complicity
In the murder of her husband, the Jury
made up a purse of (30 and presented
It to her. When the woman heard tha
verdict she said she knew all the time
she would be acquitted.
Mrs. Kvalshaug Is the second woman
acquitted of murder at this term of
court. Condemnation of the verdict as
putting a premium on murder was heard
on every band today, coming from news
papers and from men and women in all
walks of life, especially women who were
very severe In denunciation of Mrs.
Kvalshaug and the 13 men who freed
her. Three Jurors were street railwoy
employes. From the start ten were for
acquittal. Asked about their delibera
tions one of the Jurymen announced,
"to hell with the press."
Superior Judge W. O. Chapman, who
tried the case, said this afternoon:
"Sympathy seems to blind the Juries
to all the facts at Issue In criminal trials
where women are concerned. Jurymen
seem to think they are sitting as a board
of forgiveness for the dispensation of
charity. This contribution of money was
made after I had gone from the bench
or I never would have permitted It la
court."
Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney A.
O. Burmelster said of the verdict: "The
Jury system In this country is responsi
ble for this miscarriage of Justice under
the ruling that a man who baa read the
newspapers and formed an opinion which
will demand evidence to overcome is
barred. That leaves Just two classes of
citizens which we can' obtain to sit on
Juries In cases of this kind. We must
either get men who do not read and do
not think, or men who will deliberately
perjure themselves In order to become
members of the Jury."
Charles F. Newcombe, who was Mrs.
Kvalshaug" a paramour and Is under sen
tence of death for the murder, declined
to discuss the verdict at all. After she
and Newcombe were arrested, both
frankly confessed their guilt to the po
lice and newspaper men. Mrs. Kvalshaug

HOME RULE SUPREME
KOSEBtTIMS CITY ATTORNEY
S.W'S VOTK NOT NEEDED.
Official Contends That Municipality,
Voting "Wet" Its Charter Allows
Granting of Saloon Privileges.
ROSEJBURG, Or., Jan. 23. (Special.)
Contending that the charter of the City
of Rooeburg gives absolute power to the
City Council to license, control, regulate
and prohibit the sale of Intoxicating
liquors within the corporate limits of the
cityf P. G. Micelli, for many years City
Attorney, has advised the Council that
liquor licenses may be granted without
the formality of either a special or
regular election.
"The City of Roeisburg at the last gen
eral eleotion voted wet,' therefore I
hold that the City Council under the
home-rule amendment was authorized,
after the proclamation of the Governor
that such an amendment waa duly car
ried, to regulate its own affairs. I hold
and would advise, that since the con
stitutional amendment became effective,
the City Council of Roseburg under
ita present charter, and other incor
porated cities coming within the pro
visions of its laws, have the lesal right
to grant licenses authorizing the sale of
intoxicating liquors. I am emphatic ill
my opinion that an election, either spe
cial or regular. Is unnecessary.
"When the Local Option law became
effective in Douglas County and waa so
proclaimed by the County Court it be
came 'dry' territory, and the municipal
law was suspended in Its operation. How
ever, immediately after the home-rule
amendment became effective the dormant
law of the municipality became affected
and hence resuscitated the validity of
the municipal law aa it was previous to
the enforcement of the local option law
in Douglas County."
In ita entirety Attorney Micelli s
opinion concurs with that of Attorney
John Logan, of Portland, and he has so
advised members of the Council, who sre
