EILLETT FORCES T California's Governor Scores Trustees Who Voted to Acquit Van Liew. . i RESIGNATION IS DEMAND Principal or Normal School Board Members Must Get Out ma Result of Recent "Hugging Case" in. Which He Was Exonerated. BAN FRANCI9CO. Aur. J.-(Special.) -Governor GlUett today made public bis inter to the trustees of the State Normal School at Chlco. In which he scorea the three trustees who last week voted to acquit Principal Van Llew of charge of hugging made against him by Miss Ada Clark, a pupil of the school. He declares these trustees must either force the prin cipal to res-gn or submit to removal themselves. In hl letter the Governor declares that no young woman In her teens could Invent such a clear, consistent story as that told by Mlsa Clark, and partly cor robated by a girl friend. Principal Van Llew. he declares, was forced to deny the story, as to have ad mitted lta truth would have been equiv alent to resigning his position. Charge of Drinker Made. The Governor cites President David Biarr Jordan, of Stanford University, as declaring that Van Llew was a Bohemian who drank whisky freely, in one section of the letter the Governor says: Thl decision of the trustees has served notice upon all the girls, attend ing our normal schools that no matter what advances are made to them or pro posals offerjd. they are to remain silent and make no complaint, for if they do they will be ridiculed by attorneys and disbelieved by ttfe trustees." Another section states that because of the Indignities heaped upon the head of Miss Clark during the recent Investiga tion of her charges, several other girls, who have complained of advances made to them by Principal Van IJew. abso lutely refuse to come forward and de nounce the professor. The Governor concludes his letter as follows: "Those who have been entrusted under the Isw with the management and con trol of our normal school cannot afford to allow such a condition as now exists to continue In tbe Chlco normal school. "Change Is Necessary." -In my opinion. If the Chlco Normal School Is to be successful and have the confidence and support of the parents of this state, there must be a change In the presidency, and If such change Is not made, parents will be justified In sending their daughters to other normal schools In this state where tbe atmosphere Is better and where they will feel safe In the belief that their daughters are under the protection of both the president and the board. "If any member of the board of trustees of any normal school in this state feels that his friendship to Its president is superior to the Interests which he should feel for the school and the welfare of the school, then he should resign his. office so that one differently situated should be ap pointed. I trust that the board of trustees will consider the suggestion herein made and take such action as will be for the best interests of the school and to restore more confidence In tt which every school must have to be successful and which the Chlco Normal School Is now losing fast. "This letter Is to be filed with the papers of the board of trustees as & public document. Yours very truly. -(Signed.) JAMES N. GILLETT.".

Mclndoe 3Iakes Statement Major Mclndoe stated that on Au gust 1. 105. Secretary of War Daniel S. Lamont established regulations gov erning the operation of the local draws In accordance with a Congressional act of August 18. 1S4. In connection with the rivers and harbors bill. He says that today the same rules govern navl- ., ,h. iimm and that he pro- noses to proceed, when violation are reported. toward securing; m .......... tion of those responsible. In short. Major Mclndoe takes the stand that' the state, county and city are without Jurisdiction. In explana tion of the regulations. Major Mclndoe said: -So far as. this office is concerned no restraining order will be requested. As the law stands every delay of a boat at any bridge will be a misde meanor, and whoever Is Pn"lb'e will be subject to a fine of from 1000 oAnn t- imnrixnnment for one year. or both. The only action that will be jaken bv this office will be to request the United States District Attorney to prosecute under the act for every violation reporica. Regulations for Draws. Following is a copy of the regula tions as adopted and made effective August 1. 185: The following regulations are published pursuant to the provisions of isw above quoted, and will take etfeot from and after th 1st dy of Aukusi. lvjo: ,... The draw brldnes across the Willamette River at Portland. Or., .hall be promptly opened for the pa. of steamboats upon thi following .lltnal.. tu-wlt: ' openlna bridge ol Oreson Rail wsy sktlon Company, known as the eteI bndse" One long blast of steam whistle followed qulrkly by one short blast. 8tltnal for opening bridge at Burnslde street One lona bla.l of steam whistle fl inKMt auit-kly bv two ahorl blasts.

The above named brldses shRllaalto he opened for the paaaage of vessels, or water rrafts of any description, propelled by other than steam power, upon like signals being riven by trumpet blasts, or upon verbal re quest of the person or persons in charge of Rlvermen to Test Order. A number of vessel men declare that they will endeavor to run their boats up and down the river regardless of the court's orders, and that If the bridge tenders refuse to open the draws In re sponse to their signals they will seek to prosecute them In the Federal courts. It Is likely that a test case will grow out of any such action on tbe part of the rlvermen. In the mind of Attorney McCourt the result of such a casw will depend largely. If not entirely, upon what the Jury de termines to constitute an "unreasonahle" delay. The Federal attorney expressed the be lief that It is probable that the Govern ment authorities have Jurisdiction in regulating the draws, but declares that even granting that the county is without authority. It s a question In his mind whether the county court will be commit ting a violation of the Federal law In carrying out or attempting to carry out Its orders. Court Decision Wanted. We do not seek to disobey the law," said Judge Cleeton. "but believe that by attempting to regulate traffic we will not be violating the orders Issued by the Secretary of War In 1S96. At any rate, I do not believe that the spirit of the law- will be violated. Whether we violate It or not. I am eager to have It deter mined In the United States court. If ault Is broucht we will contest It at every point until the caae Is finally de cided.

Commissioner Goddard will probably he at one of the onages ais. "The county authorities will enforce the schedule." said Mr. Goddurd. "be lieving that it Is not in conflict with the spirit of the law to which our attention has been called by the uovernment en .i.M, That a.t T understand it ..thnrl.aa Iha fiwrplurv fit Wftf tO til k ft certain action in regulating traffic, but there Is no reason to oeueve iu. in fers more to traffic under the bridge than It does to traffic over the bridges, and vice versa. Schedule Called Fair. "A penalty la provided for an unrea sonable delay, which I don't think Is Inflicted by our schedule. "With reference to the orders issued by the Secretary of War 15 years ago and to which the engineer has called our attention. I take the position that they are merely a list of signals by means of which the masters of craft can convey to the bridgetenders their desire to pass through the draws, and through which draws they desire to pass. "Whether we are violating the law I am willing for the courts to deter mine." That the controversy will soon be brouKlit Into the courts, either through Injunction or mandamus proceedings or through a criminal action Insmu ted against the county officials by the vesselmen Is the opinion-of those on both sides of the conflict. It will be a battle between the Federal authorl ties on one side and the county offi cials on the other. Thus far the Fed eral Attorney has sympathixed with the efforts of the local officers. Attorney McCourt declares It will be necessary for vesselmen or any one seeking a prosecution to present a clear ca ie before he starts action. Damages Are Questionable. "It will not he sufficient for them merely to come here and' make affidavit to the effect that the law has been violated. Facts will have to be pre sented to support the charges. The District Attorney is always the Judge of what the facts are and what the law la with reference to them starting a prosecution. If a case that I think can be prosecuted with suc cess Is brought to rqy attention I will not delay action. "it will also be a question in a case of this kind whether anyone suffers damages because of the delay result ing from a closed draw, for example, a lumber raft can well afford to wait for 10 or 15 minutes as Its passage over the rl'er is not urgent- Yet in times past I have known craft of this kind to ask for the draw at a period of the day when thousands of persons, many of whom had urgent missions be fore them, were hastening over tbe bridge." Vesselmen are pointing out former court decisions in their contention that thev have prior rights on the stream, A recent decision in Texas In which It was held that a person obstructing the use of a navigable stream must, on de mand for a right of way ly another, grant it without unnecessary delay, is quoted as an instance of the state's recognizing the rights of shippers. Since the Federal Government has al vnva heen mora lenient toward vessel- men, they believe that they" will have little difficulty In securing favorable action through the United States Court in any reasonable case they may bring. Railroad Bridge to Open. The railroad bridge will not be closed with the other bridges today. Because he had received emphatic notice from the local United States engineers that if he followed the suggestion of the County Court a large fine -would be im posed every time the bridge failed to open for a boat, J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the Harrlman railroads said yesterday that the bridge would be opened as in the past. Mr. O'Brien did not attempt to deny that he would like to order the closing of the bridge in the morning and even' ins; hours, but, on account of the threat. ened prosecution, he said he felt It would be unwise to do so In his capacity as executive of the O. K- A N. "I intend to wait and see how things go," said Mr. O'Brien. "I have been in formed a very large fine will reward us If we stop any boat going up or down stream, so I am afraid we shall still have to open to every scow ana tug. School Contract Let.
