"Coffee Dan" Is Dead
San Francisco, July 6. (I. N. S.)
"Coffee Dan" Davis is dead. The news
will carry far from San Francisco for
the veteran restaurant keeper, Daniel
S. Davis was known to tourists and
visitors frvm all parts of the coun
try. Death came late yesterday at
the age of, 87 years. Coffee Dan"
came . to San Francisco in 1849 around
the Horn and has lived in San Fran
cisco ever since.
Law Says Governor Is, but
Executive Thinks Others in
Power Share the Burden,
LEGAL ADVICE IS NEEDED
Oloott and Withy combe Differ
Interpretation, of Statute
Passed Xdist Session,
on
. Salem, Or., July 8. What does
chapter 174, laws of 1817. which says
"the governor shall have full author
ity and complete direction over the
Oregon state penitentiary," mean?
Governor Wlthycotnbe, at a. meeting
of the state board of control Thurs
day afternoon, took the position that
the new law gives him complete au
thority over the management of the
institution, including all appointments
of employes and regulations, but that
the state board of control is respon
sible for expenditures for improve
ments and the like.
Olcott's Idea Sifters
Secretary of State Olcott said he
had never coasidered the law In that
light, as he had understood the law
gave the governor complete Jurisdic
tion over the prison and its manage
ments State Treasurer Kay was not
present at the meeting.
Up until 1913 th. governor had full
Jurisdiction over the penitentiary. The
1913 legislature parsed a law placing
the control of the prison In the hands
of the state board cf control, the same
as all other state Institutions.
At the instance of Governor Wlthy
combe the 1917 legislature 'passed the
present law, revesting In the governor
authority over the institution. But
the governor evidently does not want
to take full responsibility for the in
stitution. Section three of the law says: "For
the reason that the governor is
charged with the responsibility of
conducting the affairs and govern
ment of the Oregon state penitentiary.
the provisions of this act are te be
liberally construed."
It is probable that the question of
the extent the law confers authority
upon the governor will have to be put
to the attorney general for settlement.
State Wards May Work
8alem, Or., July 6. Boys from the
Oregon state training school and girls
from the state industrial school soon
may be seen in the berry patches of
Willamette valley farms picking ber
ries for wages. The state board of
control, at a meeting Thursday after
noon, authorized the superintendents
of those two institutions to permit
their charges to" engage In berry pick
ing If they so desired.
Superintendent Hale of the boys'
school said he wished to send -a group
of 20 boys to pick berries near New
berg. One of the employes from the
school will accompany the boys and
have charge of them. The boys will
be allowed to keep all the money they
earn.
