Henry Bern, brother of the dead

informed that a Dorothy Millette
had disappeared from the river

bring Miss Millette from New
York, where he said she had re
sided In the Algonquin hotel.
"It's impossible impossible,"
Bern cried when film studio of
ficials told him ot the Sacramento

loomed here last night. With only
a minority ot the board support
ing the Kerr chancellorship and
with Chairman Starr officially on
the fence although known to be a
Kerr supporter. It was thought
possible that the board might be
reconstituted by the governor to
provide new support, tree from
past disharmonies, for the new
chancellor.
Controversy With City
Back of gammons' Move
Sammons' opposition to Kerr
dates back to the former's activ
ities as a member ot the finance
committee when certain carry
over funds at Oregon State col
lege were to be distributed. Some
controversy arose between Sam
mons and the college officials and
it is thought that this matter may
be aired in Sammons' explanation
of his resignation.
Mrs.' Pierce is known to be
strongly opposed to the board's
action of Tuesday but whether she
will dare to resign and thus effect
her husband's campaign for con
gressional election, is problematical.
