The ant-governorship issue

June has been dug out from under the

PAIR SUSPECTED
OF Hold UP and
SHOOTING freed

Failure to procure sufficient evil
dence on which to prosecute police
Friday night released L. Gavigan, and
Saturday morning freed Jim Grace,
the two men held since Thursday as
suspects in the hold up and shooting
Wednesday night of Jack Frohma-
der. The ability of the pair to estab,
lish an alibi, and the failure of police
to find the revolver from which the
shot was fired, resulted, after a long
conference Friday afternoon with
Prosecuting Attorney Max Gehlhar,
in his recommendation that they be
released.
No further arrests had been made
of suspects up to a late hour Satur-
day. Police, however, are steadily
working on evidence they now have,
and it is indicated that otlfer devel-
opments will follow soon.
Aiibi Established
While the proprietor of the Salem
Rooming house, where Gavigan and
Grace were staying, first asserted
that he heard them come into their
room at eleven o'clock the night of
the shooting, he told Prosecuting At
torney Gehlhar and police Friday
that they came to their rooms at
9:40-five minutes before the shoot
ing is alleged to have occurred. This
was accepted as a final alibi for the
pair. The proprietor claimed that they
returned to their rooms at that time,
and spent the evening playing cards.
The only evidence police claimed
Friday was lacking to cinch the
crime on the pair-the revolver that
fired the shot-has not yet been
found. Repeated searches in the grass
and brush in the vicinity Of the shoot
ing resulted in nothing, they claim.

SENATE PASSESS
ROAD BOND BILL
WITH SAFE LEAD

The senate passed the ten million
dollar road bond bill this morning by
a vote of 22 to 6. Debate on the uues-
ton was chopped short by Senator Or
ton who moved the previous question
declaring that the votes were ready for
the passage of the. measure. The vote
on the bill follows:
Aye-Baldwin Banks, Bell, Eber-
hard, Gill, Handey, Howell, Huston,

ner, Shanks, Smith of Coos and Curry,
Smith of Josephine, Wood, Vinton.

Absent-Porter.
Senator Pierce led the fight against
the bond bill, insisting that the people
of the state who would be expected to
foot the bills ultimately should be al
lowed to decide for themselves wheth-
er or not they should be burdened with
an additional bond issue.

taking their automobiles off the tax

the money with which to foot the bills

Senator Farrell land Senator Thomas
also spoke against the bill the latter
declaring that no emergency existed
and therefore no excuse for considera-
ton of the measure at this session.
Proponents Of the measure were cvn
tent to let their case rest without argu-
ments, conteat in the knowledge that
sufficient support was back of the bill
to insure its passage.
An attempt to refer the bill back to
the committee for the purpose Of re-
ferring the measure to a vote Of the
people was defeated previous to the
consideration Of the main question.
