INJUNCTION ANTICIPATED
Rehearing on Recent Opinion by
Supreme Court Will be Proposed
4 To Clarify State's Financial
Tangle.
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 vote by which construction
work was deferred followed a
lengthy discussion in which vir
tually every member of the board
Bartlclpated. 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. Mr. Miller's mo
tion later was withdrawn.
(Governor Opposes.
Governor Patterson and Secre
tary of State Koier led the oppo
sition to building the , school at
this time! Their opposition was
oased on the unsatisfactory con
dition of the state's finances and
tbe ancerUtntyvt)f thr effect- of
ty supreme court opinion. ,
Ceorge Hartman of, Pendleton
averred that while ! he favored
construction of . the school he
would not vote to proceed with
the project in view of ..the supreme
court opinion and the crippled
condition of the, state's finances.

NEWBERG BRIDGE
APPROACH BEGUN
FILL WILL REPLACE OLD
WOODEN STRUCTURE
Inter-County Span to Have Lami
nated Deck; Ferry Now
Operating
Earl ' Li. McNntt, contractor,
yesterday , began construction . of
the new 600 foot Jill which will
replace an equal amount of
wooden approach to the Newberg
bridge'over the Willamette river,
it waff reported by County Com
missioner J. 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

The Radlola used is equipped with RCA power speaker No.

CAROL WILL NOT

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.
