The first Lam son conviction and death sen tence was reversed by the state supreme court. Superior Judge R. R. Syer, in denying the defense motion for dismissal of the murder charges, also refused to admit Lamson to bail. He declared jurisdiction for the re-trial remained in the first super ior court despite the high court'6 reversal of the first conviction. "No law was established by the insufficiency of evidence in the case cited by the decision of the su preme court," Judge Syer said, in his opinion. Therefore jurisdiction of dismis sal lies in the hands of the super ior court." He further cited that Justice Sewcll's opinion in the re sersal gave the presence of a spec ial deputy sheriff on the jury as one of the reasons for dismissal.

Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN The police have done a swell job of cleaning up the double parking nuisance on Liberty street between State and Court streets. It's what we'd call a fine improvement. Now we can drive downtown plumb into the crowded marts of men and be able to find a place to doub?e park in that block any of these pre holiday afternoons. It makes it much handier and surer for us to find a place to double park. "Vive la poleecel" We wish to apologize to Emil Kistner. our false toothed friend from Woodburn who called on us the other day, and whose name we spelled "Kirschner" in our lubberly, blundering fashion. Our omy alibi is that when we asked Emil to spell out his last name for it, he did, but he isn't quite used to spelling with his new clackers and he sort of hissed the letters at us as though we were a villun on the stage. Any way, Emll, we didn't mean a darned thing by it. Hope you enjr.y your soup 'sevenlng. THE PERPLEXED PREXV Dr. Bruce Baxter, new president of Willamette, may know his way around a little dump like Los An geles but he gets all tangied up since he started living in the met ropolitan area. The other day he was invited to address the Salem Ad club at the Jennie Lind. He started out to find Jennie I.md. He wandered Into the Grey-Belle but there was no ad club there. He then tried the Marion hotel, think ing maybe a mistake was made. Sure enough, he found a group of men eating, sat down, and started on his meal. "Where's Frosty Olson," he asked the party next to him. "Why, Frosty Is over at the Ad club," said the party. "This is tlie Salem Credit Men's association." So Dr. Baxter started his search again, finally locating the Jennie Lind by aid of passersby and police. Col. Baldwin, whose sudden death shocked the community, will be missed around Salem and the Cap ital Journal office. His big voice often announced elections, during the pre-holiday season he made hundreds of kids happy as he pa raded the streets as old Kris Krin gle. The colonel had a host of friends.

Bases Reversal On Court Decision For bidding Discrimination Washington, Dec. 7 (P) The in terstate commerce commission in deciding the western grain rate case reversed itself on port equalization from the Columbia river basin to Portland and Vancouver and Puget Sound seaports by permitting car riers to decide whether or not to maintain the previously prescribed differential. The reversal was due to the su preme court's decision in the Gal veston case where it was held that the commission had no right to fix differentials on export products which might act as favoring one seaport in the same general terri tory against another. After discussing its original deci sion on the grain case and the re arguments and contentions after it was re-opened the commission said : "Under the principle announced in the Galveston case, Supra, the relation of rates to Portland and Seattle on shipments for export and coastwise water movement be yond is apparently not within our regulation. Nor does the record af ford an adequate basis for differ entiating In respect of the differ ential between shipments to these ports locally and for water ship ment beyond. The question of port equalization must therefore be left within . the discretion of the car riers. Our former finding is there fore modified accordingly.

Holman Calls Meier Moron In Discussion Of Building Proposal Because Governor Meier thinks State Treasurer Hol- man's plan to turn the Mulkey building in Portland into a state office building is "asinine and ridiculous" is all the more reason he is going ahead with it, Holman said today.
