PORTLAND. "Ore., Feb. 21.
(AP) From the sawmill In Tilla
mook town north to Juna, the
tats highway commission today
approved a project which will cost
$200,000. Of this sum the City
of Tillamook will contribute 115,-
00. The project will keep the
Oregon coast highway on one side
f the railroad with an overhead
crossing at Juno. There will be a
new bridge over the Wilson river.
This was the most important
action taken at today's meeting
f the commission here.
The old problem of a short
'route from Portland to the Ore
; - rtm coast reared its battered epd
' at today's meet-nr and came neas
to breaking np the meeting, me
result of much earnest and some
times acrid discussion was to make
it apparent that whatever route
the commission finally selects, it
will have the unanimous opposi
tion of the advocates of all other
routes. .
Many Interests Are
Represented at Meet
Delegations representing -many
of the coast counties, commercial
clubs, civic organisations aad the
state chamber of commerce at
tended the meeting, which was
held at the court house nere.
..These delegations presented a
petition asking that the highway
commission conduct a survey to
determine the shortest and most
economical route from Portland
tto the sea. Resolutions were pre
sented from various .clubs and
chambers of comme.-ce in Clatsop
and Tillamook counties, at well
as from local organizations, stat
ing that whatever decision Is
made by the commission would be
supported and not contested.
Tillamook Delegates
Register Objections
At thia point, Tillamook county
delegates objected arcd-atated.tlet-ly
that their county would Insist
on construction oi me v uson n
er road let the commission build
whatever other short routes it
wants to.
This opened the controversy
. wide.
Highway commissioner pro
pounded the question to the dele
gates whether a short route to the
Pacific should taae pieccuc..
over completion of the Oregon
eoast highway. The commission is
now concentrating on the coast
highway and trying to compile .
as soon as possible. The only an
swer was that some delegates
considered a short route to the
sea extremely vital; that it should
be built in conjunction with the
Roosevelt highway.
After all was said and done,
the commission, as on previous
ainnn. took no action.
Various county delegations P.
peared, asking for road won.

today ended the hopes of Asa

prosecution by Keyes of tne Ju
lian petroleum ease. ,
The court denied their peuuon

for both men planned to move for
retrial on the grounds that the
trial judge erred in his Instruc

they expected to attack the in

While admitting that neyes

supreme court held that the In

gap between the policies of the

in the French chamber of depu

reassemble a government to suc
ceed the short-lived Chautemps

The defeat of Chautemps still
rankles in the minds of the pow

radical-socialists, who are the
largest single party in the cham
ber, and their opposition became
open and decisive today.
Working with the aim of form

bring the radical socialists into

party's refusal to cede the min

The political crisis is almost

Testimony that the late Clare
Briggs, newspaper cartoonist.
asked her to witness that he took
Marie C. Briggs as. his wife, was
offered by Virginia Hammond,
negro maid, at the opening to
day of Mrs. Briggs suit for rec
ognition as the artist's legal widow.
The maid said she had accom
panied Mrs. Briggs, then known
as Maggie Toohey, to the Briggs'
country home at Bound uroot,
N. J., ln August 1929. Mr. Briggs
she said, followed her Into a
room where Miss Toohey was
working and took Miss Toohey in
his arms.
M Vlrginia, I want you to be
witness to this,' " the witness
quoted Briggs as saying. " '1
want you to witness that I am
taking Maggie here to be my
wife.' "
Theodore A. Lesser, Briggs' at
torney, testified the cartoonist
had asked his advice about mar
rying Miss Toohey. The lawyer
said Briggs dreaded the notoriety
he believed would be caused by
the marriage because his first
wife, Mrs. Ruth Owen Briggs,
had named Miss Toohey as co
respondent in her divorce suit.
Mr. Lesser said he suggested
marriage ln another , state, but
Briggs feared the New Tork pa
pers would get the news by tele
graph. Next he suggested a com
mon law . marriage before other
witnesses.
Reuben A. Lewis, Briggs' son-in-law
denied that Briggs consid
ered Miss Toohey his wife. Hen
ry Staton, manager of a newspa
per syndicate, gave similar tes
timony. The court reserved decision.
If Mary Briggs gets legal rec
ognition as Briggs' widow she
will have the right to contest his
will and claim a share In his $40,-
000 estate, which he willed to his
divorced wife and his three children.
