I-'- .w BE CALLED OFF Humane Society President Declares Pony Express Race on Pavement to Be Essence of Barbarity Urges Pierce to Take Action ' SALKM, Ore.. Oct. 23. Colonel K. llofcr. president of the llumano so ciety, sent instructions today, to the society's .offices, in Portland to' take 'steps toward declaring off the . pony express race tt uo--taffcdJoUv.een Portland- and. Salem tomorrow In ex ploltuliun of a moving picture, utflcss the promoters of tho race, can find a complete dirt road from the metro polis to the capital on which to stage their stunt.: . The action came after Colonel Hofer bad called at the governor's office to Insist that the executive take acilon to see that the proposed race is called off. Colonel Hofer states the governor was not thcro, but he d IscusHcd the mutter with Private Secretary Oclzell who repudiated all connection be tween the executive offices and the race, other than that- the governor had agreed to receive a parcel from the rider in the last lap at the capi tal. . Colonel Hnfer says that Dclzell, who used to be an eastern Oregon rancher and ran range horses, entered Into condemnation of the race when It was pointed out to hint the race i was to be run on pavement from I'ortlund to Halcm. ."Such a race, on black top pave ment, ridden on untrained hordes, would be tho osseiice of barbarity," stated Colonol Hofcr. "Such a. race on pavement would be dangerous to both hornoH and traffic. They say they plan to put rubber shoes on the horses, but this Is an. absurd precau tion In such a race as Is contemplat ed. In the old days pony express hordes were conditioned up to a fine point to stand tho strain. The horses running tomorrow will bo out of con dition and running on pavement iwhlch meuna they will bo put under I outrageously difficult conditions." TO MEET NOVEMBER 2 NALKMV Ore.;- Oct. S3.

COLONEL HOFER WANTS RACE TO SPINE OUT OFLIHE SO Dr. Redmand of Salem Claims Spinal Displacements Re sponsible for Crimes Is Subjected to Severe Cross Examination Traffic Offi cer Testifies for, Kelly SALEM, Ore., Oct. i!3. In what is believed to bo tho first" instance' of such a procedure In the history of the Oregon courts, a chirropractlc physi cian was placed on the witness stand here this morning to testify as to the sanity of James IVillos and Ellsworth Kelley, on trial for the murder of Guard John ftweeney In the prison break of August 2'. The witness was Dr. If. D. Red mand, of Salem, wnh tent I fled that he made a spinal alalysls of both Vlllos and Kelley and found them to have spinal ''displacements, which might affect the brain ot brain nerves." Ife said tht WiUos had three such displacements - and Kelley two, ex plaining that . such displacements brought pressure to bear on the spi nal cord or nerves. The fact that nuch displacements did affect' the brain had bocn proven, he said, thru tho fact that correction of such dis placements had relieved persona suf fering from mental disorders, lie said, however,; thaT 1t dfd not necessarily foHow as an established fact that persons suffering from such displace ments were, mentally affected. Under cross examination Red ma ml admitted that such displacements as he found in Kelley and WlUos were common and they were not In them ROlves 'reliable indications of insanity. Ife said that the results of different forms of spinal displacements had not been definitely determined in hi pro fession, and In reply to a question of the district attorney said he, had only heard of two perfect spines ever hav ing been found. He also admitted that he had only been.-' practicing his profession for about three yearn, and that he had nover treatod a case of Insanity. "Can you name the various parts of the brain?" asked District Attorney John Carson. ; I'r. Itedmand named them. "Now tell us what their respective functions are,' said Carson. "I think you aro going too much Into detail," parried Dr. Redmand. Indications before court took up this morning, based on tho statement of Will Tt. King, attorney for tho do ferine, that he had oply one or two more witnesses to call, that the case would go to the jury before night were shattered by the morning. Up to tho noon recese King had called eight witnesses and said that he had several more to put on the stand this afternoon, Practically the entire afternoon was apent by the defense In develop ing Its theory of temporary Insanity brought on by. Injuries suffered in their earlier life by the defendants and bythe use 'of merrawaunna while In the prison Heveral character wit nesses for Kelley, lneludlng his father and mother were also placed on the stand. Will os was placed back on the ntnnd thl morning long enough to tell of having, boon knocked unconscious three or four years ago when ho fell from ,a horse. V 'If. Lister of Eugene, traffic of ficer for tho state highway- dopsi-t-mont and a. former deputy sheriff in Joficphlno county, was the 'strongest witness for the defense todsv. He testified that ho had known Kelley for ten. or twelve years in and around Grants rasa. Kelley. ho ssld, wan ol ways truthful and admitted ill of the crimes he was ever accused of. . Dr. U P.

Pliy, appellant in n case in tho su preme court growing out of the di vorce of himself and his former wife, Wlnnifred I'liy, was again victorious todv when the court handed down n opluioii denying a motion for re hearing. Because Mrs. Phy remarried after the divorce, I'hy asked u modi fication of the lower court's order relative to alimony, which whs grunt ed by the supreme court in nn opinion several months ti.o, written by Justice Brown- and reversing Judge ,1. . Knowles of the luwor court for Union county. In tho divorce case, the following agreement was tuado relative to ali mony: 'Five hundred dollars on or bofore the 5th day of September, $",i)H on or bofore the fith day of October, 1922. and ?!) on or before the oth day of each, and every month there after for a period not to exceed 5 months; which said payment shall not exceed an aggregate sum of $7fon, which payment of alimony shall be In lieu of all other alimony heretofore ordered by said court; provided, how ever, that all payments made prior to the first day of September.
