"We should make the bricks fly," Governor Martin declared. "Too much valuable time has al ready been lost." The exact day for the start of the tearing down of the walls de pends upon the time when the debris in the interior of the old building can be removed. The construction foremen yelferaay indicated it would be at least an other week before razing the walls could be started and car ried through efficiently. The board made it plain that its operations would be confined to razing the burned structure and preparing the site for a new building. Governor Martin said the place where the new capitol would be built, the amount of money to be spent and the character of the building to be erected were mat ters for the legislature to decide. Stealing copper and other ma terials from the building for the purpose of making souvenirs must stop, the board decided. A report submitted to the board indicated that a large number of ash trays, made from copper salvaged from the d had been sold. onMiis The board announced that it (Turn to Tage 2, Col. 4) 0 CLOSING OF ROGUE ON JU1E 16 By WENDELL WEBB PORTLAND. Ore.. May 16. (P) The state fish commission today had taken the perennial Rogne river question In tow by declar ing the stream closed to commer cial fishing on and after June 12.1 The action follows the legisla tive vote to close the stream on the same date, and nullifies ef forts of cannery Interests to keep the stream open by filing peti tions for a referendum. Three times the state legisla ture has passed a measure to pre serve the Rogue for sports fish ing and twice a statewide ballot has resulted in overriding legisla tive wishes. Petitions already are In circu lation to keep - the stream open but as a result of the fish com mission's action, announced today by M. T. Hoy, master fish warden, they will be rendered useless. Schools' Music Festival To be Tonight at A rmory Boys and girls, a thousand of them, will appear tonight and take part in the music festival of the Salem public schools, di rected by Miss Gretchen Kream er. This annaal event, the climax pf the Music week celebration, is the climax also of music train ing In the schools for the year; and the program tonight prom ises to attract people in numbers to tax the capacity of the ar mory. The festival represents a triumph- of ; organization. In the hands of less competent directors the armory would be full of one thousand wigglers; but through Miss Kreamer's skillful organiza tion with the assistance of the teachers, schoolroom order pre vails. Mimeographed directions are prepared and furnished each group. Yesterday the Tar ions groups appeared and went through their rehearsal, learning not only their cues to get on and off the platform but the seating arrange 1 rCISE TQBE FILED Alden and Jory Will Renew Effort to Clarify Law; Papers are Ready A suit to determine whether or not the governor of Oregon can legally receive more than 11500 a year as salary will be filed in circuit court here within the next few days, The Woodburn Inde pendent announced yesterday. The suit will probably be brought in the name of Ed Jory who was one of the four plaintiffs in the capitol razing injunction proceed ings. . Jory and Rodney Alden, editor fcrVThe Independent', were ready to file the suit last summer but delayed taking action. The suit was to be filed in April, The In dependent reports, but was held up until the litigation over razing the capitol walls was at an end Papers are now drawn for -the salary test suit. Jory contends Governor Martin has already drawn more than be is allowed to draw In an entire year under the state constitution. From the time Governor Martin took offica until the end of April, hi3 aggre gate salary totalled $1559.50 This is allegedly $59.50 more than the $1500 allowed the gov ernor under the constitution. ' The Independent said yesterday in commenting on the proposed suit: "The purpose of the suit is not to deprive the governor of part of salary, but to obtain a court decision on a question that has vexed Oregon for years: Whether the legislature is legally entitled to ignore the constitution, and in crease the governor's salary with out referring the matter ,to the people, who have to pay the bill. Little doubt is held that the peo ple will authorize some sort of an increase over $1500, although they might not authorize as much as the governor is now getting."

The utilities and ways and means committees meeting with Mayor V. E. Kuhn, City Attorney Chris J. Kowitz and Deputy State Treas urer Fred Paulus decided instead to attempt to have the ordinance drafted In time for an adjourned council session Monday night, May 27. The delay was necessitated by the fact that estimates of the sum required for imnfediate Improve ments to the water system could not be completed by Monday night. John W. Cunningham, Portland engineer who will be asked to help prepare these esti mates, will be in Seattle until Sunday. The council will be requested Monday night, however, to pass a resolution authorizing its utilities committee to employ necessary technical assistance in preparing for acquisition of the water sys tem. Bonds to be sold at once would be sufficiently in excess of the $1,000,000 purchase price on the system to provide for emergensy repairs and operating capital.

Nine Nominees for Places Vacated by Ruling; to Consider Further PORTLAND, Ore., May -The much discussed trio of va cancies in the Multnomah county legislative delegation remained unaltered tonight. The reason was that' the three Multnomah county commissioners who met today to name new mem bers had three ideas of the sys tem to be pursued and nine can didates. Consequently the body recessed until later when attempts will be made to agree upon successors to Senator Ashby Dickson and Rep resentatives Lew Wallace and William Johnson, jr. The attorney general ruled the three ineligible to retain their legislative seats because of ac cepting other "lucrative" govern ment positions. Commissioner Bigelow's nomin ees for the posts were republican runners-up in the last general el ection. Taft nominated three democrats and Shull presented names of three persons well iden tified in republican ranks. Many were surprised that Shull and Bigelow, the two republicans, did not support the same candi dates. Taft nominated Representative William L. Dickson for the sena torship and Clifford G. Schneider and O. V. Bailey for representa tives. Shull nominated N. A. Boody for the senatorsliip and Mrs. El ene Lofgren and C. E. Bunn for the house seats. Bigelow nominated Roy K. Ter ry for the senatorsliip and Har vey Wells and Robert S. Farrell, jr., for the house seats. E OFFERS REJECTED PORTLAND, Ore., May 16.-(;P) -Union furniture workers of Port land tonight rejected wage pro posals made by the Doernbecher and B. P. John companies, it was learned at the Labor temple. More than half of some 2000 Portland furniture workers are union members. Frits Igel, business agent for the Portland local union, said the rejection did not mean a strike would follow, but the pro posals would be considered when the coast conference of union fur niture workers meets here Monday.- Proposals of other coast manufacturers also will be con sidered at the meet and a course of action mapped. "The rejection simply means the men want increases in 1935, not 1936," Igel explained. The union requested a 50-cent wage minimum retroactive . to May 1 of this year. The compan ies granted the amount, but' un der a plan whereby the new scale would not become fully effective until next year. Daylight Saving Decision Looms Whether daylight saving hours will be adopted by state depart ments will be determined defi nitely by the state board of con trol today. The decision probably will be based on action taken at a meet ing of Salem merchants tomorrow to consider the daylight saving plan. Even though the proposal is accepted by state departments, they will remain open until 6 p. m. 1 VOTE FURI.ITUR 1 ALLOTTED FOR Highway Fund, $3,038,642, Granted With Sums for Safety Crossings Announcement to Be Signal for Starting Extensive Program in State -WASHINGTON, May 16.-P-New York, Texas, and Pennsyl vania led the list of states in amounts allocated to them today from the half billion dollars set aside from the works fund for highway, road, street and grade crossing elimination.

May l.-VPa-cific northwest lumber workers tonight girded themselves for a long siege, If necessary, fortified by contributions from organized labor's big machine. Settlement negotiations pro ceeded on a number of fronts today, even as the strike contin ued to spread. Some 35,000 lumber workers have been rendered Idle by the strike, which continued to be felt in more allied industries, such as shipping, wood working and car pentry. Faced with the possibility of a long strike, lumber workers were cheered today by announcement that Oregon's organized labor was raising a chest fund. Gust Anderson, secretary of the Port land central labor council, an nounced a committee of business agents and other officials of the union locals were soliciting funds and already contributions were rolling in from state points. Reports tonight from Oregon City stated two trucklgads of union organizers from Portland prevailed upon several hundred employes of the A. W. Bell, Clackamas Fir and W. H.
