OPPOSING ADAMS
(Continued from fage One.)
corner as referee on admissibility of
testimony, Kenneth Denman as at
torney for W. S. Wnltlng, Portland
accountant, said to be largely respon
sible for the charges, and Mr. New
bury as counsel for Mr. Adams.
The question was raised as to why
counsel for Mr. Whiting should ap
pear In the role of prosecutor Instead
of the city attorney, but Mr. Van
Dyke explained that the city council
could not sit In judgment and act as
prosecutor too.
Testimony Given
That major point settled, the tak
ing of testimony began, with Mr.
Wenner and Mr. Applewhite telling of
alleged Irregularities In the recorder's
office.
Testimony was Introduced to show
that Mr. Adams had not kept the
bond-Hen docket in proper condition,
that he had failed to certify the doc
ket to the county assessor In time
and that he had handled the petty,
cash account Irregularly.
It was stated that Mr. Adams had
taken $25 in cash from the petty ac
count, substituting therefor a per
sonal pre-dated check which he sub
sequently replaced with the cash. It
awas also testified that he had ad
vanced a city employe $10 without
making a payroll reduction.
There was a squabble about the
right of Mr. Adams' counsel to cross
examine, but Mr. Van Dyke ruled that
it was his constitutional guarantee.
So Mr. Newbury cross-examined and
at times the air was blue with Intim
ations of lies and falsehoods.
Wenner L'nder Fire
Mr. Wenner particularly came in
for a withering cross-examination
during which it was hinted that he
was the cause of Mr. Adams' discom
fiture. It was brought out that Mr.
Adams had objected when Mr. Wen
ner participated In a city contract
whereby he was paid for his assist
ance in an audit.
Another enthusiastic crowd was ex
pected tonight when the prosecution
continues its case. When the hearing
is completed there are three steps
open to the council: (1) remove Mr.
Adams by ordinance; (2) let the
voters decide by a referendum; (3)
forget about the matter altogether
and let Mr. Adams continue In hts
elective offlce. The bets today were
that the people would be asked to
decide.

PENITENTIARY TERM
FOR MRS. EKWALL IN
OF
Mrs. Jessie Ekwall, middle-aged
woman under a six months' sus
pended sentence for burglary com
mitted In Ashland last spring, was
this morning sentenced by Circuit
Judge H. D. Norton to serve an
indeterminate sentence of not less
than two years In state prison.
Mrs, Ekwall was arrested by city
police Saturday night on an Intoxi
cation charge. County authorities
figure that the care she will receive,
with the calm of the stat Insti
tution, may restore her mental
peace and aid her In breaking the
chains of the liquor habit, cause
of most of her troubles along with
domestic woes.
Since her release last summer,
on the suspended sentence, aid has
been given the unfortunate woman
in procuring work, but Chief of Po
lice .McCredle told the court, he
has several times fallen from grace.
Upon her return to the county
Jail yesterday Mrs. Ekwall threaten
ed suicide, necessitating a thorough
search of her cell and person, and
giving the matron a hectlff night
to prevent carrying out of the
threat.
Cleverly concealed In the clothing
of Mrs. Ekwall, the matron found
a short bladed paring knife. The
knife had been taken from a shell
In the jail kitchen. It Is thought
she secured the knife when the mat
ron was moment ivly at the tele
phone. Last summer, Mrs. Ekwall at
tempted suicide by slashing her
wrist with a pair of scissors.

It's the job of a business family many

The food business is like that today.
Your neighborhood Safeway grocer be
longs to a business family. Back of him, help
ing him, trained members of the Safeway
family work in the farming areas. They buy,
where possible, from the farmer cooperatives.
Safeway truckmen, traffic experts, ware
housemen speed produce and dairy foods to
you faster. Home economists test it. Market
experts work to keep down its cost.
Why? To lower retail food prices. To pay
farmer! a larger share of each food dollar.
Your Safeway grocer is working at this
job because it is what the people want done
and because the people reward men who
do what the public wants.

To the West your Safeway grocer's job
means this: Waste in getting food to market
is cut down. Unnecessary handling charges
are eliminated. Housewives save on food.
And actually, 80 cents of every food dollar
spent at your Safeway grocer's now goes to
farmers, processors and transporters. (Which
means the farmer gets a larger share of these
