V|NTON IS NOT IN
CONTEMPT Of COURT
DECISION RENDERED
Head of McMinnvilIe, Who
Was Sentenced to Serve
Six Months Upheld.
ALBANY BILL is VALID
Churchill Had No Right to Keep His
Place of Business Open Contrary
to Law. ~,
ALBANY BILL is VALID

W. T. Vinton, mayor of McMinnville
was today released from custody by the
ruling Of the state supreme court.
Vinton was declared in contempt of
court by Judge Galloway in Yamhill
county, and sentenced to pay a fine of
$500 and to serve six months in the
county Jail, for his failure to sign a
paving contract when ordered to do so
by the court.
Through his attorneys Vinton brought
habeas corpus proceedings before the
supreme court but as these failed the
case was tried by the upper court on
its merits alone. In rendering their
opinion the justices contended that
Vinton was not in contempt for the
reason that before refusing to sign the
paving contract he notified the circuit
court of his intention to appeal the
case, thus making it permissible for
him to 20 against, the the cir.
cult court until the supreme court had
passed on the matter.
Albany Decision.
Another case decided was that Of R.
c. Churchill against the City of Albany.
1t appeared from the evidence before
the court that Churchill conducted
cigar store, lunch room and also
banquet room in connection with his
other business. There is an ordinance
in the city of Albany requiring all ci.
gar stores to close at midnight 1t was
Contended by the city officials that
Churchill remained open after that
hour. Churchill in turn said that be.
cause of the fact that his cigar coun.
ter was directly in front of his lunch
and banquet room, he had to keep the
place open as passage way for the
rear rooms. At no time, however, did
ne conduct a business in the cigar store
after midnight, and he asked that the
ordinance be declared invalid because
of the hardship it worked on him. The
supreme court declared in its decision
that the ordinance was valid and work,
ed no hardship on Churchill than it did
not on any other cigar dealer.
