The Kelley-Wlllos case contin

renewed attempts to evade the
noose being postponed.
Argument on the Issue of mak
ing permanent the writ of habeas

was continued until today to give
his attorneys t an opportunity to

Argument Postponed
Announcement was also made
that arguments of attorneys on the

Portland attorney, for a stay of
execution of James Willos pend
ing an examination of his sanity,
had been postponed until early

day. He later requested that the
proceeding be referred to Judge

Public Wants ro Know Who's Ke

Motorists who have been bless
ing the city council for ridding
them of the handbill nuisance,
which used to require the u.se of
a broom daily in ridding their
ars of waste paper, are troubled
once more.
The council recently passed an
ordinance which had been discus
sed for months, providing a pen
alty for this promiscuous piling ot
advertising matter, alon with
the fanatical literature distribut
ed by cranks on various subjects,
into automobiles.
There was some opposition to
the ordinance at the time, but af

stalls thus avoiding a fine and

But this week a relapse has
wondering. A recently establish
ed men's furnishings store was
apparently responsible for the
first violation and its example
was shortly followed by others
who have been here long enough
to know better.
To date, no arrests have been
made, and the long suffering
public is wondering. It wants
light on the subject. Who is re
sponsible? The firm doing the
advertising, the printer, or the
person who actually put the ob
noxious matter in the automo
bile? Until this information is fur
nished, it will be impossible for
the injured parties to file com
plaints. If the advertiser is
responsible, it will he a ' simple,
matter to curb the practice; any
public spirited person whose care
is proaned with this trash may
file an information against the
ofending firm.s But the defen
dant in such case may plead that
he did not intend the handbills
for such illegal distribution.
On the other hand, if the per
son who actually threw the hand
bill in the car is to be prosecuted,

These vessels were the schooner
