Petitions for a rehearing of the George Blodgett murder case are being prepared by Deputy District Attorney Bert Haney f5r submission to the Ore gon.supreme court. Blodgett. who has been in the county Jail for the past year and a half awaiting the outcome of his case, wqa convicted of murder In the first degree for killing Alice Mlnthorn. Ills case was appealed to the supreme court and this tribunal reversed the decisl&n of the lower court and ordered a new trial on the grounds that the district attorney had made remarks hot proper for argument before the Jury, It being held .that the remarks tended to prejudice the case of the defendant be fore the Jury. As the matter now stands It will be necessary to try Blodgett once more In the circuit court. Deputy Haney does not desire to do this if he can secure a rehearing of the argument on appeal beforo the upper court. If the supreme court grants the petition the appeal will be argued before the court at Sa lem as soon as possible. If the peti tion is denied Blodgett will be brought to trial again before the circuit court PORTLAND Y. M. C. A. DEFEATS EVERETT 3IEX Portland T. M. C.

Demandlna- to ba allowed access to latter-books and records wrested from his possession and taken from the office of the United States district attorney by Francis J. Heney, John H. Hall has filed a petition in tha federal court set ting out that the material asked la pub lic record and necessary to exonerate him from the charges , alleged against him in the land-fraud case In which he Is the leading defendant. In his petition, which was filed De cember 28, Mr. Hall asks for the privil ege of examining the office letter-books for the period .extending from January 1, 1899, to December 81, 1904. He al leges that these flies contain corre spondence had with E. A. Putnam, C. E. Loomls E. D. Stratford, T. B. Neu hausen, W. W. 6teiwer. Edward Dixon, J. W. Rennlck, and the Butte Creek Livestock Land and Lumber company concerning the fencing of government lands In Wheeler county. He asks also for letters written during this same period to the attorney-general and the department of the interior and for an awers received from these sources. Mr. Hall atatea that theae letters tend to exonerate him from any crime or wrongdoing in the case, and are neces sary for tha defenae, which could not safely go to trial without the evidence they furnish. He states that he had made application to Mr. Bristol, who had furnished him copies of such letters aa he had In-his possession, but that Bris tol had Informed him that most of the documents were not In the possession of the district attorney's office, but that Heney had taken them to San Francisco. Heney had refused to allow the de fendant or his attorneys to soe the let ters, Mr. Hall says, and he asks the ourt to make such an order on the rounds that the letters sought are pub lic records of the district attorney's of fice. I filing the petition Hr. Hall took a copy to the district attorney's office and served it upon Deputy District At torney Cole, who refused to accept the servioe, having been directed so to do because of his having no connection with the land-fraud cases. Mr. Hall therefore adds an affidavit to his peti tion showina that he attempted to serve the petition on the district attorney's orrice and did, in raci, leave a copy with Mr. Cole. There are no new developments In the land-fraud situation. Judge Hunt Is expected in Portland in time to assume charge of the trials January 13. No call nas been Issued for the trial Jury and will not until asked for by Mr. Heney, from whom no word has been received up to tnis lime. 11 is oe lleved that the ex parte motions pend I no- in the different cases will be taken up ahead of any consideration of the Hall case, first on the docket, in order that the jury will have time to be gathered In after the arrival of Mr. Heney ana tne resumption 01 me near ings. 36,45nil OF SCHOOL AGE 1 Kising Generation in Port land Is Steadily Gain in r in Numbers.
