.11 I "-! 10 THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON, WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL' 4, 1028 BRIGHTENING LIVES OF THE SICK Supreme Court Points Out Mrs. Roy Will Still Have Opportunity Closing the registration books 39 days prior to the special elec tioa which will be held in Mult nomah county April 9, was legal. according to an option handed down by the supreme court Tues day. fie opinion was written by Ju tic McBride in mandamus pre eeedings filed by Clara M. Roy t. compel County Clerk Bereridge t reopen the registration books si that she might change her regis tration. The writ was denied. Records in the proceedint showed that on March 7 the cit council of Portland passed an or dinance permitting consolidation of the two electric power compan ies, subject to the approval of the votvrs of Portland at a speeia' lection April 9. Notice of the special election was sent to Coun ty Clerk Bereridge who, on March 9, closed the registration books to the voters of Portland. Mrs. Roy later applied to the coanty clerk for permission tc change her registration on the grounds that she bad married since her prior registration, and had moved into another voting precinct. The request was re fused whereupon Mrs. Roy launch ed the mandamus proceedings. It was contended by Mrs. Roy that the Portland city council vio lated the charter provisions when it affixed an emergency clause to the ordinances permitting consol idation of the two electric power companies and calling the special election. "It eeems clear," read the su preme court opinion, "that the conty clerk acted within his du ties In closing the registration books up to the date of the pro posed election and that the plain tiff will lose the privilege of vot ing on the question of merger; of the power companies. "However, If she exercises the same zeal to have her registration changed after the special election as she has under existing circum stances, she will have the ines timable privilege of voting at the May primaries and at the Novem ber election." The court ordered a reargumcnt In the suit brought by Sam "A. Koser, as secretary of state, to compel Marion county to pay over to the state of Oregon approxi mately $40,000 of the money it re ceived under the so-called Oregon and California railroad land grant tax refund bill. The reargumcnt was set for Thursday of this week. No explanation waa given by the cosrt as to why the reargument was ordered. The suit originally was filed in the Marlon county circuit court with the result that Judge L. H. McMahan handed down a decision la which he held that the state had no legal right under the fed eral act to share in the land grant refund. The state then appealed the case to 'the state supreme court, where it was argued on Jan uary .27. The action brought by the state Is being contested by the 18 west ern Oregon counties which have shared in the' land grant tax re fund. The total refunds to the counties up to this time aggregate approximately $5,000,000, of which amount the state claims $1, 209,000 Any decision eventual ly given in the suit involving Mar lon county would apply to all of the. land grant counties. It was said that the suit would V carried to the United States su preme court despite any decision that may be handed down by the state supreme court. The supreme court affirmed Judge C. F. Skipworth In a suit brought by Frank L. Priest to en join an election to create a mu nicipal corporation to be known as the Port of Siletx Bay, within the limits of an existing municipal corporation known as the Port of Newport. O. W. James, county Judge, and other officials of Lin coln coanty, were named as de fendants in the suit. Both the circuit court for Lin coln county and the supreme court held in favor of Mr. Priest. Other opinions handed down by the supreme court today follow: The bleak, white walls of hospitals that bring no cheer to patients! rying flat on their backs, can be changed to joyous, happy pictures that will brighten the lives of. the sick, according to La Montagne Saint-Hubert, a French artist now visiting in the United States.

Ell Virginia Home Shattered As Dynamite Explodes; Town Shaken McMEEHAN, Va., April (AP) A father and his daughter were killed and four others in jured, two seriously, when an ex loslon, believed to have been caused by dynamite, wrecked two dwellings here tonight. William Karp, 45, a miner, and the man killed, was believed by authorities to have accidentally set off the explosive in his home. The two houses were literally shattered to pieces, leading police to think that a large quantity of dynamite had been set off. Win dows were shattered in many near by residences. Several children of the Karp family escaped unhurt. Karp was killed Instantly Stelle Karp, 13, the daughter, died in a hospital at Glendale. Mrs. Karp, 42, said to have suf fered Internal injuries, and a man named McCloskey. who resided In the second house demolished, were in a serious condition. The houses were on the property of the Hitchmen Coal and Coke company, a non-union operation but Sheriff F. A. McNlnch said he did not believe the explosion was the outgrowth of labor troubles He said he was led to this convic tion and the supposition that Karp had accidentally set off the explosive when one of the dead man's hands was found with a dynamite cap firmly clutched in the fingers.
