12 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON SATURDAY MARCH 19. 1C21. vAVANAUGH ASKS NEW BRIEFS IN I S BRIDGE ARGUMENT After hearing arguments on whether the Interstate bridge com mission whould; turn the control of the Interstate bridge over to Gov ernor Olcott, Judge KavanauRh Thursday afternoon aaked for briefs, so a decision cannot be expected for a week.' tjeorae Mo wry, acting tor the coni- tniKsion, attacked the constitutionality of the law passed by the 1921 legislature . which authorized the governor to take "possession of the bridge. Mowry said the act was Insufficiently defined In the title. The title provides that the irov ernor fhall collect toils of the bridge, while Mowry claims that the outstand ing; point of the bill is that the governor . has complete control, lie can raise tons, make repairs and do whatever else he desire. ilOORK KEPUES TO MOWRf Willis 8. Moore, assistant attorney general, replied that the courts have ruled that a measure parsed by the leg islature tshoufd not be set aside on such grounds unless it is clearly proved that fraud was Intended. The opposing attorneys traced the his tory of the bridge case, wnen me Donas were tesued for the bridge by Multnomah county the state provided that the county hould levy tolls on those who crossed the bridge and in this way procure money to nay the Interest on the bonds and pay off the principal as the bonds came due. "Whatever was paid on the Interest, the state agreed to deduct that sum from the amount of taxes Multnomah county had to pay to the state. -By the later act of 1915. the state was to give Multnomah county a clear title to the bridge, the county agreeing to keep it In repair and general good con dition. The county was to receive 25 per cent of the tolls and the state 75 per cent. - ' K1V LAW OF 1919 In 1919 a new law was passed by which the 25 per cent and the 75 per cent agreement was done away with. How ever, the state claims that about $77,000 Is still due It. In order to collect this $77, 00 the legislature passed the bill giv ing Governor Olcott control of the bridge. When the bridge , commission, consist ing of the county commissioners and District Attorney Evans, refused to com ply with the law. the governor brought mandamus action to force surrender of the bridge. The commission then filed a demurrer, charging that the- law .was unconstitu tional. It is this demurrer which is be ing argued before Judge Kavanaugh. Assistant Attorney General Moore maintains that even if the law is uncon stitutional, the court has no right to so decide in a mandamus action. He says the bridge commission must allow, the governor to take charge of the bridge, end then. If it so desires, it can bring the case of constitutionality into court.

Port land Flouring j Mills company, late B'riday afternoon. The men were pinned beneath the mass of wreck- age' and it was necessary for work men to use axes to free them. The wrecking; crew was attempting to 'drag back into place the .grain car. which had rolled half way over the breaker at the end . of the line Thurs day afternoon. The crash came just as the heavy car was swung back onto the track. It toppled and fell sidewise off the track. Engineer- John Skoko. who was on the crane, was caught In the wreckage and scalded with steam from the bursted. boiler. He was burned on his side, arms and back. CfJtJKT MAT BE FATAL The men injured were John Skoko. 603 Ladd avenue, engineer of the crane, probably fatally ; Olaf Olsen, 590 Borth- wick street, injured about the head. His condition ia not serious, according to . hospital authorities.; i George Creen ich. 93 Morris ; Btreet, slight injury to right foot ; George Bradvica, 152 Graham avenue, serious injuries to head and back ; Martin Chutuk, 165 Morris street, badly burned about hands and face, con dition serious. ; The men were all members of the O.-W. R. & N. wrecking crew. They were taken to St. Vincents hospital by the Arrow Ambulance company and the Ambulance Service company. This morning hospital authorities said that Skoko was the only one of the five in an especially dangerous condition. The grain car was loaded'to its 50.000- pound capacity i with ground feed and was spotted on the "highline" track under the mill sheds. Thursday it had been moved by an engine and was turned lose with such force that it was carried almost over the breaker. CAB BECAMJi j U1MANAGEABLE The working 5 crane, ' mo-.-? .ted on an O.-W. R. & N. flatcar, had succeeded in hauling the car i back on the track, but while the crew was attempting to adjust we trucks unaer the grain car, it crashed over on its Bide. " Its weight was sufficient to drag the flatcar and crane with it The crash was one of the. most unus ual and spectacular accidents which ever occurred at the mill yards, accord ing to mill authorities who witnessed the accident Three ambulances were summoned while workmen strove des perately to free the imprisoned men. ; The accident was unusual in that none of the men caught in the smashup was crushed and no parts of their bodies were mutilated: The steam from the bursted boiler Was the most dangerous factor to be contended with in freeing the men. It is said only swift action on the part of workmen present in the yards wnen tne crash came saved the lives of the men. j , Has Wilson's "Name On Patent ; Is Happy Yakima.

T. Buckner. . "Judge, do you know what ' day , this is? asked Buckner. "What do you mean?" queried the pic turesque Jurist "Why ' 16 years ago today you were sworn in as judge and I was sworn In as bailiff," replied the deputy. "So it is," said Landis. A . veteran newspaper photographer then handed him a picture he had taken of the judge on that day. "My hair has - changed complexions Bince that day," reminisced Landis, "Well, this is a responsible job." The judge was asked what was his most important case in that time. "They are all important,' j he said. "Taking a man's liberty from him and putting him in prison, even if he is a thief, is a responsible and difficult thing. Prison and loss of family Is more im portant to any man than any $29,000,000 fine for-a corporation. These have been 16 stormy years, but I expect to put in M more here, just as stormy."
