Because of the legal question which has arisen since the recent ruling of the state supreme court which held that the state was with out authority to create an obliga tion of more than $50,000 in ex cess of its estimated revenues, the board of state normal school re gents Wednesday deferred con struction of the new normal school at La Grande until such time as the question is clarified in their own minds.

The board had pre viously approved plans and speci fications for the administration building and Frank Miller, a mem ber of the board, had made a mo tion that bids for construction work be opened in Portland Fri day, August 12.

E. Smith who spent the day in the northern end of the county inspecting work on the bridge, and paving and other county road work .at Aurora. The Newberg bridge, when it Is reopened to travel about Septem ber 1, will have all new timbers in the new approach, shortened 600 feet by a new dirt fill, the main portion spanning the river will have been re-inforced with new steel, and it will have a new laminated deck of two-by-fours laid on edge. According to county Engineer W. J. Culver, such a decking will outlast a flat deck by several months, and perhaps even years And the structure is stronger and does not easily roughen, since the timber is laid edgewise to traffic At the present ( time a ferry in operation five hundred feet above the bridge site is handling traffic over tne wooaDurn-wewDerg route. Repairs on the bridge which will total above $30,000, will be apportioned to Marion and Yamhill counties. REMOVAL NOT ASKED Item in "Wednesday's Statesman Mentions Wrong Estate In the columns of the local news In brief of yesterday's Statesman appeared an Item to the effect that Emma. Murphy-Brown as adminis tratrix of the estate of Frank M. Brown had been discharged from her trust upon filing of final ac count in this estate. Immediately under this item appeared an item that some creditor had filed a pe tition for the removal of the exe cutrix of , Frank M. Brown's es tate, stating that said petition al leged . incompetency and misman agement. The Statesman regrets that a mistake was made in report ing these legal items, as the facts as they are show that Mrs. Brown had fully and completely discharg ed her trust and had received an order from the court closing the estate. I ' It happened, however, that on the same data that this order was filed there appeared to be a peti tion filed for the removal of the executrix In the Mott estate, and The Statesman therefore desires to correct this - statement, , and to aay that the. petition for removal which: was unfortunately referred to in the Brown estate had nothing whatever to do with that estate, which the records will show was handled In a thoroughly, compe tent and legal manner, - c C ; m 75.000 TO SEE RING FAVORITES CLASH TONIGHT Spectacular Nbn-Charripidn-ship Battle Attracts Wide Spread Interest EXPERTS PICK DEMPSEY Dempsey Rules Favorite Among "Men in.

CAROL WILL NOT SEE DEAD KING FORMER .RUMANIA . PRINCE NOT TO ATTEND FUNERAL Mourning Evident at Villat Inter views With Journalists Refused PARIS. Jury 20. (AP) Carol; former crown prince of Rumania; downcast and broken hearted, has decided not to return to Rumania: he has given up hope of attending his royal father's funeral. The odds are too great against him, he judged, and he. must aban don his desire to take one last look at the features of his father, whose foud wish was that he "might see h3 beloved son." In the seclusion of his NeuiHy villa this evening Carol sent word to the Associated Press corre spondent: "I am not going back. I- am. sorry I cannot see you, but can make no exception of anyone. I have seen absolutely no news papermen, and do not intend re ceiving any and all so-called state ments from me to journalists are absolutely unfounded." ' Mourning is evident at the villa. Servants clad In black re ceive visitors with mournful mien and direct them to the "condol ence register" set up in the hall. There were 10 names inscribed in Carol's book, six of them the names of American newspapermen. Carol, .himself in seclusion, refuses to meet anyone except friends of his youth. Mme. Lupescu, who was Carol's companion for . a long time, but from whom he has been separated for the past six months, is said to be insisting that ' he return. to Bucharest and that she accompany him. This is regarded as prepos terous by the former prince's household. "She would be arrested before she got a hundred yards Inside the frontier," one of Carol's intimates remarked this evening.
