GYPSIES TRAVEL IN DELUXE CARS GROUP STOPS AT CITY HALL TO "PAY RESPECTS" Sheriff from Eugene Calls too, but Finds Suspicions Misplaced If Salem people have visions o gypsies as travelling in horse drawn vans, with picturesque can vas tops, they had plenty of op portunity for disillusionment yes terday afternoon, when two loads of the colorful tribe parked in front of the city hall for three hours. About a dozen of them, more or less, filled the Lincoln sedan and the Cadallac toaring car which carried them and their equipment in modern fashion. And as though their modern means of travel made them an even greater object of curiosity, a crowd of local people stopped to watch them, to inspect their car, and their bright trappings. Their visit to the city hall was not because of any desire to pay their respects to the city offi cials, but because Sheriff .Taylor, of Eugene, had telephoned the local police department that some gypsies in cars had held up a Eu gene man, and robbed hm of 5300. The two carloads, arriv ing in Salem shortly after, were held on suspicion. While Sheriff Taylor made a hurried trip to j this city. , . j Upon his arrival at 5 o'clock j yebterday afternoon he declared j that the gypsies held were not the j ones wanted, and they went on j their way. j SALMON PACK GREATER i Will Exceed Last Season's lrodUc tion 17 to 20 Per Cent ASTORIA, AUG. 23.

The assistant attorney general argued that even though Kelley had been sent to the penitentiary under a faulty commitment It was pot possible for him to obtain re lief through a habeas corpus pro ceeding. He said any question In volving the unconstitutionality of the statute under Which Kelley originally was sent to the peni tentiary should have been raised at the time of the trial. "The only question before Judge McMahan," said Attorney Moore, "is whether the court in which Kelley was tried, convicted and sentenced to be banged for first degree murder; had competent jurisdiction."
