SAX FRANCISCO, May 24. Frank C. Oxman, witness in a. trial at which Thomas J. Mooney was convicted of murder, was freed today from a police court ruling holding him to answer in the Superior Court for attempted sub ornation of perjury, but must face the same charge in the same Police Court again. The State Supreme Court, acting on a writ of habeas corpus, unanimously decided this today, hold ing that a previous writ of habeas corpus, asked in the Appellate Court, while Police Court proceedings were pending, should have acted as a stay in such proceedings and they were therefore in error. Touching the allegation by Oxman's counsel of insufficient evidence, the court pronounced that which was sub mitted to be "overwhelming." Oxman is accused of seeking to per suade F. E. Kigali, of Grayville. 111., to testify in Mooney's trial, which arose from a bomb explosion here .Tuly 22, 1916, in- which ten persons were killed. Kigali was not in town at that time. He came here in response to letters which Oxman admitted writing and re mained until after Oxman testified against Mooney. Rigall did not testify. Following the institution of proceed ings against Oxman. the trial judge in the Mooney cased asked the Attorney General to appeal to the State Supreme Court to grant Mooney a new trial. This request had not been acted upon until tonight. Following the decision of the Su preme Court, Oxman was liberated on S1000 bail. It was said tonight the Police Court hearing would be started tomorrow. Oxman is an Oregon cattleman. JITNEY'S DAYS NUMBERED Spokane Mayor to Order Cars to Quit if Bonds Are Canceled.

May 24. Herbert N. Hoover, Government food administrator, and Secretary of Agriculture Houston today gave assurance tnat the apple crop of the Northwest will be moved to market when it is ready.

Clark, of Wenatchee, representing the apple growers- of the Northwest, today laid before Senator Poindexter the notice served on the apple growers by the Northern Pacific Railroad, to the ef fect that cars would not be furnished for the movement of apples next Fall and Winter, as apples are regarded by tne railroad as luxuries and not neces sities. The railroad said all available cars would, be required for more impor tant food prodects. benator Poindexter. accompanied bv the two apple men. called on Mr. Hoover and on Secretary Houston, laid before them the situation which had arisen, and received positive assurance that the railroad dictum would not stand. It developed at the conference that Mr. Hoover spent his boyhood on an apple orchard at Newberg, Or., and. has an intimate knowledge of the fruit sit uatlon In the Northwest. Furthermore, Mr. Hoover said that apples constitute a highly important article of diet, more important even than potatoes, and especially in time of war. He explained that much of the suffering among the people of Belgium, among whom he worked so long, was due not so much to the fact that they had Insufficient food, but to the fact that they could get no fruit.
