4" TTTE OREGON STAT5tMANrRAl.m WlKCKmr SWEDES, ISOIIBE Building Restrictions in Laurelhurst; r Portland, Hold," Court Rules Building restrictions included in a deed supersede the provisions of the Portland zoning ordinance, it was ruled by the supreme court lere Tuesday when it affirmed Judge Ilobert O. "Morrowf the Multnomah county circuit part in Jiis decision for the plaintiff Jn.-a suit filed by Sophronia Ludgale to enjoin Robert Someryille from violating deed restrictions upon lots in Laurelhurst addition. : The record IHthe case showed that Somcrvllle obtained title to a triangular-lot. in Laurelhurst addl-tion-ln February, 1924, and later announcedis Intention of con structing thereon a gasoline filling station. He contended that the part of Laurelhurst abutting upon Sandy boulevard bad so complete ly changed in character during the past few years that it nox longer was suitable for residence pur poses. It also was alleged -by the de fendant that the building restric tions relative to the property in question were superceded by a zoning .ordinance initiated by the voters of Portland in 1924 which, among other things, purported to permit certain business activity in that portion of Laurelhurst on both sides of Sandy boulevard and 100 feet back thereof. "There is no question that ye construction of a gasoline station is in violation of the bnildiag re st rictlons in Laurelhurst," read tjoe supreme court opinion. "What Is the effect of the zoning ordi nance purporting to. permit the operation of such bisiness? Does it supersede and nullify ; the' re strictions previously put upon the property by those who platted it? . "The zoning ordinance of Port land, undertakes to place no restriction- upon single detached dwelling houses.,. The primary objeet of the law, without doubt, was to prevent the invasion of residential districts by commer- cial interest. Who are clamoring for this gasoline service station? Surely sot the public. No great public, inconvenience will result if consumers of gas are obliged to go 1906 feet to that part of Sandy boulevard to which 1 the restric tions do not apply. It it true that defendant's lot would make an ideal service station and no doubt much profit would result. How ever, the call of Mammon makes no appeal to equity. Police power Is not to bo exercised to thwart or nullify lawful agreements which V ) ; 1 WILSON' BROTHERS, HABERDASHERY Html. rasliionable Here arc lustrous white shirts, accepted by marly particular men as the, standard in smartness.

Darwin?' Burroughs in the biology department. Mr. .Monk received hlsnaster's degree from the University of Illinois, where he is now serving as in structor in biology. High recommendations accom panied Mdnk's application for the positions. A letter from the Amer ican Microscopical society asserted that he had unusual promise in the field of science. Burroughs resigned to accept a position as instructor of biology at Oklahoma City university. Routine matters handled by the board included final report on the es-tate of Grace E. Blackwell, who left $150 to the Willamette uni versity forward movement fund. Committees to consider plans for installing a fire alarm system ir. Lausanne hall and a new sprinkling system for the campus were appointed. NORTHERN COLLAPSE IS NOW REPORTED (Continued from page 1.) era at Shanghai that troops of for eign countries would be assembled at Tientsin or possibly Peking, but it has been reiterated that Admir al Williams, commanding Ameri can naval forces in Chinese waters and General Butler are empower ed to use their own discretion In the movement of troops at their disposal. The suggested augmen tion of 2000 mixed troops of the Peking legation guard was looked upon here as a logical develop ment. LONDON, May 31. (AP) Ir regular reception of despatches from Peking today indicates that the. censorship is active but des patches to the Associated Press state that the Ankuochun, or nor thern alliance, now admits the withdrawal 'of the northerners on the whole front owing to reverses at the bands of t!ie southern (na ,tionalst) armies in Honan. With this news of the northerns' eollapse, which is taken here to herald the possible early . fall of Peking, comes confirmation of re ports which have been gathering force in the past few days, that the powers havtf decided to send expeditionary troops to the num ber of 16,000 to Peking and Tient sin and to take other measures'for the protection of. foreign interests Marshal Chang T so-Lin, the northern leader, naturally describ es the retreat as axleliberate tac tical1 movewhich wiU not involve removing his headquarters, but it is held that this means the sur render to the southerners of the whole ullonan province, south of the Yellow river, all of Anhwei and the, entire Lunghai railway. Official reports reaching the British government confirm the southerners suet. esses and the for eign., office tafc'-s such a serious view of the position that warnings have been- sent to Peking for the safety of British women and chil dren. , No decision has yet been taken as to whether it wUI be necessary to send reinforcements in addition to this to China, but it is under stood that it is exceedingly prob able air reinforcements will be despatched as it Is contemplated to protect the Peking-Tientsin MAY 223 and good all cummer ROUND TRIPS St. Paul $77.65 .

' "f RAILROAD COMMITS rfc ITSELF TO EXTENSION (ContlnMd from pge 1.) additional rights of way purchased under an agreement between, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern whereby thet latter road undertook to assume full responsi bility for he "enterprise , in the event the 'Northern Pacific direc torate did not favor the participa tion of h'at line in the extension program. Mr. Turner expressed the opin ion that the filing of the accept ance today was in accordance with the Great Northern's agreement to assume full responsibility for th2 enterprise in the event the North ern Pacific decided against-parti-cipation. I Acceptance Filed ST. PAUL. May 31. (AP) The Oregon Trunk railway has filed with the interstate commerce commission its acceptance of the commission's conditions for ex tending its line to Klamath Falls, Ore., it was learned here today. Under these conditions, actual Construction must start by July 10 on the extension of trackag from Bend to Klamath Falls, wlhh is i.j the heart of an Important lum bering district. The Oregon Trunk is owned jointly by the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific railways. Re cently the latter decided against participation tn the proposed new constructions under the then pre vailing terms. Whether the Northern Pacific will now participate, or permit the Great Northern to. take over the project alone, probably, will be de termined tomorrow at a meeting of the Northern Pacific directors in New York. BIDS REJECTED; PLANS SUGGESTED FOR PAVING (Continued from paga 1.) would furnish the material and the company would put in the equipment and furnish the 'fabor. Committeemen were of divided opinion as to legality of the plan under the city charter, and opposi tion to payment of 15 per cent to a private concern which could go toward the purchase of a new mixer also was expressed. The installation of a central mixing plant was discussed, but considered impractical as a mu nicipal project. Plant Inadequate The committeemen were pretty well decided that the paving should proceed as rapidly as pos sible, but how to do it was the problem. Chairman Towwend pointed out that the paving plant probably would not even finish paving asked for in 1926, let alone the 47,000 and some square yards uonght thts year. Alderman Dan$y felt that the 16-hour shift for the piesent plant was the best plan, while others were in favor of tje purchase of a new mixer. Commissioner VV. S. Low, In charge of the paving plant, has been asked to meet with the com mitteemen at a special session to morrow evening so that his view point can be secured.

According to the police, Chris tenson had been engaged for about two years to local nurse when he began to doubt her affec ,t:on. Accordingly, he prepared two letters,, -one to police officers and one to his sweetheart, saying that he was jumping into the Tiver because he had been jilted. The letters he placed on the bank of the river with articles of clothing and then went to the girl's house to await results. . When the letters were discov ered officers were dispatched to the girl's address on one of the envelopes, where Christenson was found in hiding. ChristensOn was carrying a Le gion button when arrested but, officers say, he admitted finding the button. BIG RECEPTION FOR LINDBERGH PLANNED (Continued from pace 1.) reach Washington before Presi dent Coolldge leaves on June 13 for his summer vacation. Should Lindbergh arrive in time, he will be asked by Presi dent Coolidge to be his guest at the temporary White House here. It was assumed that his mother, if she elocts to como from Detroit to meet her dare-devil son, also would be invited to share the hospitality of the executive man sion. , Promotion Planned The president's hope that im mediate honors for Lindbergh nlght include promotion in the army air corps reserve, in which he holds a captaincy, also was dis cussed by the committee. The war department is examin ing the governing laws, and Secre tary Davis said he believed the aviator might be elevated to the Tank " of major. He explained however that a higher rank in the reserve would take Lindbergh from ills duties in. the Missouri national guard, of which he is a flight captain, and that he might object to that feature. King Awards Cross LONDON, May 31. ( AP) Kins George of England and Queen Mary gave America's young aviator a fitting welcome when he visited the sovereigns at IJucking ham palace today. The king pin ned the air, force cross on Captain Charles Lindbergh's breast, patted him in a fatherly manner on the shoulder and sat down and listen ed for twenty minutes to a recital of one of the most venturesome voyages in the air that has ever been taken. Queen Mary came in and sat in rapt attention, with eyes of admiration on the youth who has achieved what no man ever achiev ed before a straight swift race across the Atlantic, from one $3.85 Wearwell9-4 SHEETING Unbleached Yard 42 Vic Wearwell 9-4 SHEETING Yard 60c Girls' Hats Prices Comnitjrcxal Circ. j gteat metropolis to another, out winging fog and winds and storm. .

PRUNE MARKETING PLAN PROPOSED AT MEETING (Continued from page 1.) convention got off to its scheduled start -with close to 175 persons for the initial assembly. Senator Lloyd Reynolds of Salem was unanimously elected, permanent chairman. Rumored movement for compro mise between the Parker plan and present impure cooperative, -sales agencies materialized in the key note speech of Paul V. Maris, di rector of extension service, in. cal ling the convention to order.. Al ter pointing out the necessity of agreeing on some workable pro gram' here and now and present ing an analysis' of 'the various plans suggested, he asked consid eration of a system whereby pre sent independent growers might go either with the present North Pacific cooperative prune exchange or pool their crop for sale through private packers with a subsequent cooperative exchange and of the greement between directors- of the pool to eliminate price cutting, which, it is agreed, has disrupted the industry. Four members of the "commit tee of five"' which has been con sidering the Parker plan in re cent months, are attending this group's meetings. These are C. L. Dick, R. H. Kipp, V. W. Wood, and M. J.
