Judge Gantenbein Will
Give Decision Today.
FEW EXPECTING DISMISSAL
Permanent Order Would Keep
the Sunday Status Quo..
INTEREST IN ISSUE GREAT
Appeal From Federal Court Ruling
to Be Taken to Cnitcd States
Supremo Court, Says Attor
ney for Dan Kcllahcr.
Among attorneys at the Courthouse
yesterday it waa the opinion generally
expressed that the temporary injunc
tion holding up enforcement of the old
Oregon blue law would be made perma
nent in the decision of Circuit Judgo
Gantenbein today.
Their conclusion, which was entirely
speculative, was drawn from the atti
tude of Judge Gantenbein toward the
present case and his attitude in the
past. Other attorneys, in the minority,
however, contended that the Federal
Court decision on the Sunday law might
influence Judge Gantenbein to dismiss
the injunction.
"Are you taking this appeal in good
faith?" Judge Gantenbein asked W. T.
Hume, attorney for Dan Kellaher,
whose temporary restraining order is
in effect, when informed at the hear
ing yesterday that the decision of three
Federal Court judges holding the law
valid would be appealed to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
When Attorney Hume answered
"yes," Judge Gantenbein announced he
would postpone his decision until this
morning, aa it was expected action on
the appeal could be taken yesterday
afternoon. This was found impossible
to do, as Federal Judge Wolvertou wa
called from the city by -the death of a.
relative. Mr. Hume then petitioned
Judge Gantenbein not to decide until
the appeal was perfected, which would
not be until Monday, but the jurist an
nounced finally that he would pass on
the question today.
Foes of Blue Law Hopeful.
If Judge Gantenbein intended to dis
solve the injunction, it Is believed by
many attorneys that he would have
done so yesterday without suggesting
that the court await the perfecting of
an appeal. The postponement gives
hope to the opponents of the blue law
that Judge Gantenbein will stand by
his decision of four years back, holding
the blue law unconstitutional, on re
ligious grounds, despite the concurring
opinions of Federal justices to the con
trary. Many matters being held up in the
District Attorney's office will receive
immediate attention if the injunction
Is dissolved. If it Is made permanent.
District Attorney Evans will appeal at
once to the Supreme Court of Oregon
The recent demurrer filed by thq
District Attorney brought matters to
their present head. It is hoped byf
those who believe the law unfair to in
voke the initiative at the next elec
tion and wipe the act from the stat
utes. The 'latest demurrer filed by Deputy
District Attorney Mowry contends that
there are not sufficient grounds for a
suit, and further that the Circuit Court
has no jurisdiction. Judge Gantenbein
indicated yesterday that he would over
rule the demurrer.
Final Jadgrment Is Asked.
Deputy District Attorney Mowry
petitioning Federal Judge Wolverton
to enter the decree of the three jurists
as a final judgment. Attorney Hume
believes this may necessitate appealing
the case, at much greater expense,
through the Circuit Court of Appeals
at San Francisco, before the Supreme
Court can be reached. He is asking
that the decision be adjudged merely a
denial of an interlocutory decree of
injunction. Then he could take the
case to the Supreme Court direct.
The JMstirct Attorney's office holds
that the records should show that tho
case has been finally settled, so far as
the Federal District Court is con
cerned and contends that an appeal
can still be made direct to the Supreme
Court of the United States because the
constitutionality of the state law is in
volved. JOBLESS MAN'S WIFE IS ILL
