LAW REQUIRES
WTTEBSON TO
CULL ELECT!
Attorney General Renders
Opinion on Selection
of Congressman.
DATE IS OPTIONAL
Nominations May Be Made

Petition; Pamphlet
Question Open.
(Associated Press Loaspil Wire)
SALEM, Ore., .Iiiy 30 The con
stitution of the Untied States nnd
I lie Iuwh of the state ol' Oregon re
quire that Governor Patterson shall
cull a special election in the third
congressional district tor the elec
tion, ot a successor to the late
congressman M. 10. Cruinpacker.
This was held hy Attorney General
Van Winkle today in a formal opin
ion written in response lo tin in
quiry hy the governor.
As to the time when, the election
shall he called, that Is discretion-
' ary with the governor, and for (he
present is a matter of conjecture.
Tire Oregon code says that certifi
cates of nomination of candidates
in the special election may ho tiled
with the secretary of state any
lime between the date on which
, the governor issues the writ of el
ection ami a date 111 days before
the election. Also, after the gov
ernor has Issued his proclamation,
the secretary of stale must give
the people of the district notice of
nt least 211 clays ot the offices to he
filled.
3 W.-ys to Nominate '. .'
There are three methods of nom
ination under the ; Oregon laws;
These are by political parties in a
primary election, hy petition of in
dividual electors, and by an assem
bly of 100- or more voters. Obvious
ly in the special election' under
consideration, there will he no pre
,'cedlng primary election, hence
only the other two methods are
left. However, an assembly of vot
ers .might be predoman.tly the lead
ers of any political parly, -and the
nominee could by his slogau on the
ballot' convey his political liulth
lo the voters. The question of
whether a voters pamphlet shall
be issiied is something of a prob
lem. Any questions as lo the le
gality of certificates of nomina
tions, pamphlets, etc., will he sub
milted later to the attorney gen
ew.il. The attorney general, in his opin
ion, says the constitutional provi
sion that "when vacancies happen
' in the representation from any
state, t h e executive authority
thereof shall issue writs of elec
tion to fill such vacancies," also
the Oregon code to the same effect.
:. After quoting' the federal con
stitution the attorney general said
that "under it is the duty of the gov
stances it is the duty of the gov
ernor to issue a writ of election
to fill such vacancy."

GENEVA PARLEY
L-l
(Associated Pros Loaned Wire.)
GENEVA, July 30. Adjourn
ment of the tripartite naval con
ference possibly for a certain
period of time without holding of
a final plenary session is now con
sidered a possibility here. There
is a growing opinion that a public
session "with fireworks by both
British and American delegates"
would do no good and conceivably
misht do harm.
The talk of adjournment is due
to the apparently irreconcilable na
ture of the Ilritish and American
views on how naval armaments
should be limited. The Americans
firmly advocate liberty of action
to construct cruisers armed with
eight inch guns within the limits
of the total cruiser tonnage allow
ed. ' The Hritish seek to have de
finite sizes of cruisers made obli
gatory. There Is some doubt as to wheth
er the Hrltiah delegates would
consent to adjournment ot the
conference wilhout having an op
portunity to state their views
again In a public session.
At any rate, the idea of ad
journing the conference for six
months or a year in order to give
the powers time for further re
flection has been advanced.

Temple. . ) .
This the evangelist declared last
night In addressing her followers
frqm the pulpit. The temple lead
er whose statements on behalf of
her mother during the present
row have often been followed by
Mrs. Kennedy's denials, said that
her mother also was agreed not
to resort t.o the courts.
At the Biune time, the evangelist
refused to acquiesce to a demand
made by a delegation from, forty
two branch churches for a "show
down" In the scrap between moth
er and daughter.
Attorneys who have stood at the
elbows of the pastor and her moth
er in the recent rounds of the bat
tle of the temple leaders, however,
were of the opinion that at least
one point might have to be decided
by the courts.
Trustee Moot Point
The bono on contention of
whether Emma Schaffer, secretary-companion
nnd staunch sup
porter of the evangelist, is legally
a trustee of the Echo Park Evang
elical association which owns the
church and Its buildings, valued at
several hundred thousand dollars.
Mrs. MePherson contends Miss
Schaffer is a trustee. Her mother
holds that she and the evuagellst
are the only legal trustees, the
third having died.
The membership meeting last
night failed to clear definitely the
question ot Mrs. McPhersou's fu
ture relationship with the temple.
The evangelist first had declared
that she intended to give up the
pastorship, perhaps' within three
weeks, nnd later said she intended
lo remain in control with an asso
ciate pastor In charge while she
carried on her planned world
evangelical work.
Last night she told her followers
she did not Intend to "desert" her
church, but was keeping n prom
ise she had made to the hundreds
of Bible students trained yearly at
the temple that she would provide
places tor them when they were
graduated as ordained ministers.
"I have promised my students
that I would go into the Held and
prepare a way for them," she said.

DETROIT, Mich., July 30 Motor

the market b;- tho Ford Motor
company are, being made here per
sonally by Henry Ford, it was an
nounced today.
The manufacturer has been en
gaged for the past few weeks In
driving the car over roads In the
vicinity of Dearborn, Mich., the an
nouncement from the executive of
fice of the organization said. The
results or the tests were not dis
closed and officials did not -indicate
If they were In Die nature of
final tryouts. .
Ford, who celebrated, his 64th
birthday quietly at home today, In
dicated he had completely recover
ed from injuries received In a re
cent accident.
"I feel better and have a greater
Interest In life than was the case
four years ago because I have a
new job to tackle that was unfor
seen then." he told associates.
The "new job" was taken to re
fer to his new car.
Discussing the new machine, Mr.
Ford Indicated It would be of the
low priced variety. He also refer
red to it as a Ford. There have
been a number of rumors publish
ed regarding the name of the ma
chine, most of them having It Edl
son, in honor of Thomas A. Edi
son, close friend of the manufac
turer. "Most of these rumors," he said,
"have been misleading. There's
Die matter of prire, for example.
We didnt' build this new Ford to
fit a price, but we are not aban
doning the low priced field."
Referring to the trade war ru
mor within the automobile indus
try, Mr. Ford continued: "We have
no deslde to take business away
from any automobile manufactur
er. Our thought has always been
that the Automobile business is
prosperous only when all makers
of good cars are busy. If any
particular automobile's success
meant putting out of business some
other automobile manufacturer,
there would be no gain in that: It
would only mean putting thousands
of men out of work, letting valu
able power go to waste, maybe
throwing a great Industry out of
balance."

QUEEN MARIE MAY
ENTER CONVENT TO
BANISH HER WOES
(AmoHhImI Pn-M I-onwxl Wire)
HUCHAHKST, Itumanla, July
30. Drier slrlcken over the death
of her husband, King Ferdinand,
Queen Marie may seek peace and
consolation within the quiet walls
of a convent, it is believed by her
c1oho friends. They say sho has
oflen been drawn to the pictur
esque sixteenth cenlry convent,
near her castle in the Cap Carpa
thian Village or Mian, for prayer,
and think it likely that she will
Join the nuns In this retreat.
From the time Marie came to
Ilumania Hf years ago she has
been deeply Interested in the his
toric Ituinanlan monasteries and
convents, and by study and visits
she learned much of their history,
architecture and decorations.
When the king became seriously 111
monihs uko, sho turned more and
more to the Hran retreat, ami
since his death, virtually all of
her I linn has been given over to
religion. She has been heard to
say repeatedly that relief and eon
solution from grief and disap
pointments are to be found only
within Ihe cloistered peace of a
convent, away from the evils and
restlessness of the world.
The Idea of Queen Marie enter
ing a convent Is not favorably re
ceived by the Rumanian peasant
ry. She has long been tho peasants
Idol and they are averse to Inning
a champion of their Interests.
