Kt BUtcMars.
J. Hat Hitch ings, attorney, must
serve five days on the rockpile and
pay a fine of 125 unless he appeals
to the supreme court from a decision
of Circuit Judge Cleeton this morning
dismissing a writ of review of pro
ceedings In the municipal court' at
which the sentence was Imposed. Hitch
ing was first tried on a charge of
peeping in windows In the neighbor
hood of Sixteenth and Columbia
streets and the charge was dismissed
before a verdict was given.
A second charge of loiterine in
shadows and acting suspiciously,
brought a conviction September 26,
1913, when Municipal Judge Stevenson
Imposed sentence. Hitchings appealed
to the district court but It was found
the complaint was missing and Judge
Cleeton refused to continue with the
case on . the ground that there was
nothing to consider before him, A
writ of review was petitioned for on
the ground of prior Jeopardy because
of the first charge of "peeping." Judge
Cleeton found the proceedings regular
and no previous Jeopardy.
Deputy City Attorney Stanley My
ers will ask for a -bench warrant this
afternoon and unless Hitchings "ap
peals at once he will be taken Into cus
tody to serve his sentence.

in back and future royalties, 84,000
trancs or 916,212. ,

to divulge, for 10 years, the secret
process for refining cocoanut oil and
Its products. The American companies
agreed. It is charged, to pay a royalty

mitting the false telegram, and bls
morning begged Municipal Judge Stev
enson to be released. The Judge took
the. matter under advisement. Vohl

sister immediately asked the Seattle
detectives to learn more of the acci
dent, whereupon the Portland de
tectives were called upon for informa
tion. Four detectives spent six hours

the Sound city handles its dogs.
