lvicted in the Clackamas county circuit
court Of violation of the prohibition
law in connection with his manage
ment of the Friar's club at Milwaukee
has been dismissed BY the United
States supreme court. according to In
formation reaching Attorney General
Brown this morning.
Wilbur was sentenced to pay a fine
of $500 and TO serve a term of six
months in the Clackamas county jail
upon his conviction in the Clackamas
circuit court, The Oregon supreme
court affirmed the conviction .on ap-
peal and Wilbur appealed to the fed
eral supreme court. A few weeks ago

for dismissal of the case because of
Wilbur's failure to file the necessary
briefs. The action of the United

impossible to locate Wilbur it is re-
garded as probable that the bond will
