The supreme court this morning denied a motion filed by attorneys for Dan Casey last week asking or a modification of the judgment under which Casey was sentenced to hang for the murder of J. H. (Buck) Phillips in Portland. In the motion for a modification ol Casey's sentence It was pointed out that John L. Burns, who was jointly Indicted with Casey for the murder of Phillips had been ac Quitted of the charge. The two Den though indicted Jointly were tried separately, Casey being found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to hang and Burns being acquitted of . th . charge. The order of the supreme cour denying the motion was given orally and was unaccompanied by any comment.- There were not written, opinions - handed down by the court today Other orders handed down were: Piatt vs. City of Newberg, petl Hon tor rehearing denied. Myrtle Point Lumber company Vs. Pike, petition for rehearing denied. - - Huson vs. Portland & South eastern Railway, motion to ad ranee allowed. , Wllklns vs. North Coast Power company, dismissed on stipulation Angling Art Fails Blanchett Twice; Episode Costs $30 TRUSTEES DELAY DECISION ON GYM The executive committee of the board or trustees . of Willamette university acted upon . only the most important business before it yesterday, deciding to carry much o: the work over to the meeting in June when a full session of the board of trustees will be held Among the things considered , were: Blanket Insurance for all of the university buildings, the prob lem of the mill stream over-flow Ing, the petition of the student body concerning the gymnasium, and the advisability of having the school take over the varsity book store. After a short discussion the matter of a blanket insurance was referred to a committee with A. M. Smith of Portland as chair man, a committee was named to confer with the officials of the Oregon Pulp & Paper company in regard to having a larger pump Installed at the mill so that the "ess of water caused by rains would not cause the mill stream to overflow. The. problem of the tymnaaium was left for the next meeting. ( The problem of the taking over the store by the trustee is of Pecial interest in that it is plan 'ed to have it run on a coopwra re basis. This matter was also leIt for final settlement at the wing next month. , Apple Tree, 96 Years Old, In Full Blossom Vancouver, Wash., May 9. The oldest living apple tree in the west and possibly the oldest in the United States, now 96 years old, is in full bloom again. This old tree Is in the enclosure of Vancouver bar racks. A wire fence has been built around it to keep out per sons who might clip off limbs for souvenirs. This apple tree was planted in 1828. It is in good condi tion and gives promise that it will live to be at least 100 years old. , T LOGANS SELI 31-2 CENT FIRS! Bf DEAL Reports of the first big logan berry deal of the season, unveri lieu but from reliable sources, say that the California Packing cor poration has contracted with the Hillsboro growers association for 1,000,0.00 pounds of berries at 3 4 cents. The price quoted in this deal Is about the figure at which the market opened last year, and Is slightly lower than the growers have been expecting and getting in a few Instances this year. A few small contracts have been re ported at 4 cents, but the market appears to have weakened slightly during the past week, due to a falling off in the demand for logans on the eastern markets. While some fruit men are pre dicting a large crop of logans in the valley this year, most of them are cutting their per acre esti mates after viewing the patches. Dead vines are Said to be plentiful, but the increased acreage is ex pected to hold the tonnage yield for the valley up to a good figure. Strawberries are moving well at 4 cents and moBt of the buyers de clare that they have already pur chased nearly all that they can handle. Gooseberry quotations are fluc tuating close to the 5-cent mark, with indications of a normal crop. Seven cents is the highest figure so far reported given for raspber ries, but there are indications that the buyers may better that figure by half a cent should the crop show a tendency to fall short. Fishpole angling without a li cense got Lee Blanchett arrested by Roy Bremmer, deputy game warden. Verbal angling with Judge G E. Unruh in the Salem justice court this morning got Lee no- wnere. After a 30 minute period dur ing which he thought it over, he paiu a line of 130. i ve naa so much trouble of late it makes me plumb sick Blanchett said after Unruh had pronounced sentence. "All the more reason why you should not have fished without a license," the Judge countered. There was a protracted pause "What do they do If you don't have the money? Do you have to work it out?" "Just easy work," the Judge ex plained. Another silence. "Could I pay the money when I pay the taxes?" "Sorry, but the tax department and this court are separate organ izations." "It'll come hard right at this time," Leo continued. "If you could wait six months when the crops come in it would be easier." "No doubt," Judge Unruh agreed, "but, unfortunately, you did your fishing at thfs time." "Well," began Leo "I might mention."

The logging camp of the com pany at Blackrock, about 20 miles from Dallas, is now in full opera tion and circulates a pay run . that vicinity each month of Jo 000 A good part of this money .from the camp is spent among the n-u.. merchants ana Dusiuesb men.

Tomorrow afternoon the Albany college baseball team will cross bats with the Bearcat nine on Sweetland field, the game being called for 3:30 o'clock. In the first game of the year played at Albany the Albany team won 9 to 5. Some idea as to the playing of the Bearcats may be known by the statement of the score keeper. He said that he wore out his pencil keeping tab on the errors made. Since that time Coach Bohler has been drilling the men on grounders until now he has a nine that will give any of the college teams a good run for their money. The showing made by the local team in their games with Pacific college and the Chemawa Indian school nines is proof enough of what Bohler has done. Pacific came here confident of victory but was defeated in a game featured by stellar pitching by both mound men. 5 to 1. Those who saw the Chemawa-Willamette game last Friday witnessed another pitch ers battle which took eleven in nings to decide the victor. Willam ette won 2 to 1.
