XEGUO HEAVYWEIGHT DEAD Hank Griffin, Who Got Decision Orer Johnson, Succumbs to Fever. ANN ARBOR. Mich.. May I. fSpe elaU Hank Griffin, a well-known ne ero heavyweight pusrtlist. died at his home hero yesterday after an attack of typhoid fever which lasted nearly a month. Griffin who was 41 yeara of aa-e had been conducting a school "of Instruction In boxing and gymnastics In Ann Arbor. He was best known for hta battles with Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries. Griffin had three fiKhts with the present i CHIFF fLEKK OF MAI r. ir.v ru- TART WHO HAS RESIGNED. Idaho Is laboring nnder the impres sion that Governor Hawler has Invali dated the legislative appropriations for Its educational Institutions to such an extent that all funds now being drawn from the state treasury for mainte nance are Illegally drawn. Is the opinion of ex-Governor McConnell. of Moscow. Idaho, who arrived la Portland on busi ness pertaining to the Inspection of Immigration, being connected with the United States Immigration service. "Idaho finds Itaelf In a rather em barrassing position." he said yesterday at the Imperial. "Governor Hawley, In passing on the appropriation bill, which carried lS').0O more than that of the tenth session, took the bill Item by Item and approved some parts, cut some down, and In fact took upon him self strongly the power of legislation. For Instance, In my home town where we have the state university the ap propriation bill carried I99.S00 for maintenance. The Governor in his ap proval of the bill aald: "I disapprove the Item of JM0 to the university and cut It down to ISO. 000." The fact that he disapproved the Item to my notion cuts It out entirely, lie haa no authority to reduce the ap propriation any more than he baa to make one on his own initiative. Right of Reduction Questioned. "If he can rut and slash to suit his own opinion he haa ample authority to nake the laws of the state. Not only did he do this with the university, but he did the same with the Academy of Idaho. Iwlstown State Normal school. Albion State Normal school. Insane Asylum at Black foot and the Northern Idaho Insane Asylum. "When my attention was called to theeict of the Governor In cutting down the Items of the appropriation bill I wrote a letter to the Secretary of Hate. Wilfred L. Glfford. making In quiry with regard to It and I re ceived a reply saying that the ap propriation bill was signed with this wording: " The bill received bv theaGovernor on the 4th day of March. 1911. at 11:50 P. V . and approved on 14th day of March except as to Items disallowed and disapproved as a whole and al lowed in prt as shown In the annexed message.' "The astonishment of the state Is due to the words, 'allowed In part.' If the Governor can do this he Is In a posi tion to become the legislative force of the state and can do anything. It will close the university and will work a great hardship on Idaho. Positloo Declared Vnlqne. - i T wrote to the Governor regarding the position he had taken and asked it ' ha could explain upon what theory he acted Ji bo did. He answered by saying: " 'As to the right of the Governor te scale down appropriations, I consider It an open question. I'nder a constitu tion similar to ours, the Supreme Court f Pennsylvania has affirmed the right of the Governor so to do. because so far as the legislative enactments are concerned the court holds that he Is a part of the law-making power. While this decision of a very high court Is not binding upon us here, and while 1 doubt very much whether our Su preme Court would affirm that doc trine. I concluded It would be better to follow such a rule than to strike out any appropriations In their entirety or to call a special session of the Leg islature. I apprehend no difficulty on this score, however, as the courts would undoubtedly hold the entire Item waa disapproved If It were contended before them that the Governor did not have the right to reduce.' "This Is certainly a unique position for the Governor. His reasoning In support of committing an illegal act Is based opon the fear of the friend of the university to raise the question In the courts. In other words, the friends fear they will lose what little the Governor allowed of the appropria tion should they go to the courts. The Governor with a frankness that might be admirable In any other situation admits that be did wrong and naively suggests In substance. If not words, whit are yon going to do about It?" POWER SITES ASSESSABLE Washington Tax Commission Gives Ruling on Important Matter. OI.TMPTA. May . f Special.) Power sites In Washington are assessable says the State Tax Commission in a formal letter to the Assessor of Klickitat County. The assessor wrote in to the effect that be could find nothing tangible to assess although there are many undeveloped water sites held In the White Salmon and Klickitat valleys- "A water power Is not assessed as a water power, but 14 acres of land which has upon it a very desirable and valuable water power and which makes that 19 acres of land worth from four to 40 times as much as the adlolnlng 10 acres of land, should be assessed at from four to 40 times higher than the adjoining ISO acres.- writes the Tax Commission. This means that the holders of water ' sites must develope them or pay a high tax for the privilege of retaining I them In Washington, tp to this time these rights have been escaping taxa tion for the reason that the Assessors were able to find nothing to levy upon, but the Tax Commission haa straight ened the matter out.

SEWAGE LAWS HEEDED STATE HEALTH OFFICER. SAYS WIIXAMETTE OPEN SEWER. Scarcity of Fish In Lower River Due) to Fact Water So Foul They Cannot Survive In It. El'G ENE, Or., May . (Special.) Declaring that the Willamette River Is an open sewer, and that there must be Immediate legislation forthcoming to prevent the depositing of unpurlfled sewage In It. Pr. Calvin 8. White. State Health- Officer, created a mild sensation In an address delivered be fore the Municipal League Monday night. ' Dr. White stated positively that the scarcity of fish in the lower river Is not due to the fact that they have been caught, but Is because the water Is so foul that they cannot survive rn It. and In support of this statement be pointed out a number of Eastern rivers where the tuning industry nas been completely destroyed by city sewage. In addition to legislation. Dr. White stated that the need Is imperative for the establishment by the river cities of plants for the purification and disin fection of their sewage. Electrolysis waa suggested by him as the cheapest and most efficient means to this end, and he urged upon the city the necessity of unifying Its sewer system in such a way that tba discharge could be made through a single outlet, thus preventing the necessity of duplication of disinfecting plants. According to Dr. White, the foul con dition of the Willamette River Is a menace to the health of the entire Valley, and betterment of the present condition of Its waters Is a matter of state-wide Interest.

PORTLAND MEN TO ATTEND 3Iony for Improvement of Thor oughfare in Washington County Partly Raised and Remain der la In Sight. MMINNVTLLE. Or.. May . (Special.) At a second mass meeting; of good roads enthusiasts, which will be held here Fri day night. It Is expected that there will be present many automoblllits from Portland. Newbera;. Independence. Eu gene. SaJem and other cities In the Wil lamette Valley. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the Tamhlll Auto and Commercial Club's Good Roads Association, the purpose being' to com plete plans for an active campaign for the building of good roads throughout this section as far-north as Portland. One of the flrst stretches of roads It Is planned to Improve lies la the west end of Washington County, running be tween Rex and Tlgaxdville. This Is a connecting link between the system of good roads In Multnomah and Tamhlll counties, and Is considered one of the worst pieces of road between Portland and the Upper Willamette Valley. It has received but little attention from Washington County for the past decade for the reason that It passes through a sparsely settled district and does not lnad to the Important trade centers of Washington County. The people of that county have become Interested in the movement to Improve that road, and it Is announced that they will give the project strong support. Sur veyors are now at work estimating the cost of the proposed improvement. The Yamhill County road enthusiasts have been active the past week In soliciting funds and have more than half of the money needed already subscribed. "This Is one of the most Important better road movements that have bten started." said Ueorge E. Waggoner, pres ident of the new organisation. "We are meeting with much success In raising funds and I have no doubt that we win have the money available within the next few days to meet the entire cost of re building the eight-mile stretch of road In Washington County. That county will appropriate about one-third of the amount necessary to build the road. We also have assurances of assistance from the Portland Automobile Club and the Oregon Association for Highway Im provement. "The meeting Friday night will be held to perfect our plans. No funds will be solicited. We will hare a programme con sisting of addresses and music, and re freshments will be served. We expect to entertain several hundred visitors, i " Good roads enthusiasts In Portland are planning to attend the meeting at Mc Minnville tomorrow night. Representa tives of the Oregon Association for High way Improvement and the Portland Au tomobile Club will be present. If the weather Is favorable, many of the Port land good roads advocates will make the trln to McMinnville In automobiles. The officers of both assoclatons expect to attend the meeting. They urge all persons Interested In the good roads movement tp be present at the McMinn ville meeting. WOODMEN ARE GATHERING Washington State Convention Is Well Attended at Tacoma. TACOMA. May 3.

Saving of $200,000 Annually and Opportunity for Reform Are Urged in Consideration. SALEM. Or.. May 3. (Special.) An other new prison policy was announced by Governor West today. Convicts are being sent gradually to the various state institutions to act as employes. In this capacity they will be unguarded and will have virtually the tame priv ileges that are extended- to the other employes. Th'ey will probably be paid 25 cents a day as spending money or to be placed to their credit against the time of their release. "If 100 men at the prison can be placed at some employment which will be of value to the state, a great sav ins; can be made." said the Governor. "Estimating the labor of these men as valued at $2 a day, it would mean a saving of nearly 1200.000 annually. "I am now working on I lans whereby I hODe to accomplish Just this tning and place at least 100 men at work. A new contract with the Loewenberg & Going Company will make such a move possible and I believe it can, do accom dished. "In the meantime as many men, as I can possibly find room for will be placed at the institutions and have de cent labor to perform.
