Motion for Change in Venue
Cites Columns Devoted to
Case in Newspapers
Many Sign Plea.
PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 30. (P)
Supported by uffliluvits sinned by
J 61100 persons 'Including banker,
attorneys, .doctors, housew Ives,
wnitresHes and teachers, a motion
unking a change o( venuo In the
murder case against Nelson C
Howies, millionaire, and Irma
ourks, his former secretary, was
filed in circuit court tudiiy.
Howies and .Miss Luucks are
charged with murdering Mrs.
Leone Bowles.
The motion, filed by John Col
lier of the defense, was based on
the contention public sentiment Is
such that the two could not be
given a fair and Impartial trial in
Multnomah county.
Although no date was set tho
motion is expected to be argued
early next week. Lotus L. Langley,
district attorney, said ho has made
1 no decision as to how ho will op
pose tho change.
Accompanying the document Is
a complete filo of all l'ortlund
newspapers issued between No. K
when Mrs. Howies was stabbed to
death, and Dec. 31, when tho first
degree murder indictment was re
turned by tho grand Jury. The
file is said to contain 5000 column
inches devoted to the case.

DOUGHNUTS ARE
BETTER IF COOKED
A FEW AT A TIME
Likewise Coffee Has More
Delicious FLavor When
Roasted in Small Lots
Experience, shows that if loo I
many doughnuts arc put into the
hot fat at once, the cooking process
is. hindered. The temperature of
the fat is reduced and the dough
nuts become greasy.
A similar situation occurs when
coffee is roasted in bulk. It is diffi
cult to apply tho heat evenly, and
as a result some of tho coffee
berries may be overdone and some
underdone. Such variation in tho
roast causes disappointing varia
tion in flavor.
Hills Bros, overcame this by in
venting: and patenting a process
controlled Koanting that roasts
every coffee berry evenly. With !
automatic control of heat and speed
of operation, a few pounds at a
time pass through the roasters.
Uniformity of roast and unequalcd
flavor is the result.
Hills Bros. Coffee is always fresh
when you buy it because it is packed
in vacuum. This process takes air,
which destroys the flavor of cofTee,
from the can and keeps it out.
Coffco will not stay fresh in or
dinary cans, even if nir-tiprht. Gro
cers everywhere sell Hills Uros.

Time and savings deposits In all
Oregon banks at the close ot busi

117.111, a record breaker iu the his

December 31, Schramm said, "total
ed SloO,tlOS,29(i.57, indicating a de
crease since Marc 27, 1930, is
approximately only $2,500,000.
Thus the aggregate deposits of
both time and savings and subject

approximately $1110,000 for the en
lire stale as compared with March
27, 11130.
Exellent Conditions
"The reserve position or the

$1,250,000 since September 24,11130.
Holdings ot '.other bonds and se
curities' havo Increased in excess
of $9,000,000 but with a correspond
ing decrease in government bonds
which, no doubt, is due to the high
price and low yield of government
securities. As compared with a
year ago the loans outstanding have
been decreased slightly more than
15 per cent.
"Total resources or all banks in
