NOT GIVEN -A HEARING. CHARGE OF CARRYING OBSCENE LITERATURE POSTPONED UN TIL WEDNESDAY NO STATE MENT IS MADE BY OLESON. Walter Oleson, who is suspected of making the attempt to burn the Mur ray Jim dyeing ana cleaning snop, Tenth and Main streets, Saturday aft ernoon, was arraigned in the city court on a charge of carrying obscene litera ture. His attorney, Ray K. Shiveley, entered a plea of not guilty and the case was postponed until "Wednesday morning. Chief Bailey stated that there is no doubt in his mind that Oleson is the person who made an attempt to burn the shop and that he had gathered very damaging evidence against the young man. He stated that the pros ecutor had ndt decided whether he would prosecute Oleson for arson, but the chief added, he would continue to collect evidence against the man. Oleson Says Nothing. There seems to be but little doubt that Oleson can be cc-fieted of carry ing obscene literature. If he has to serve a jail sentence on this charge the grand jury will no doubt investigate the arson charge. Just why the state does not desire to prosecute Oleson for his alleged attempt to burn the dyeing house, which was a most dastardly deed, is not- known. Had the fire spread to the gasoline in the Hill shop there would have been no way to check the flames, which in all probability would have consumed the entire block and loss of life might have resulted. Oleson has nothing to say about the attempt to burn out the Hill shop ex cept to his attorney. Salvation Army Service. Staff Captain Ivings will lecture on Torn.
