PAGE TWO MEDFORD MATT, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8. 1935. POWER OF BOARD IN BUILDING NEW E Act of God Clause Gives Right to Create Defic iency, But Debt Limita tion' Raises New Point SAL EM. May 8. Speculation wu rife today whether or not the tut emergency board had the power to appropriate funda to provide for the construction of a new capltol bulldlna-, and this view was enhanced when that board met yesterday for the flrat time this year and read the law which created It. The law, ac aet out, apeclfled the board could appropriate a deficiency provided that deficiency was male available by an appropriation of the preceedtnfl legislature. The 1935 aa nembly had approved a sum of 1100, 000 for the emergency board. Act of God C In use However, the law continued, "noth ln In this act shall be construed to prevent the board from malting any appropriation found neccewiary the result of fire, flood, hurricane or other act of god." Thla clause would give the board - the authority to create a deficiency for poaalble construction of a new capitol building. But a constitutional limitation raised another point. Ar ticle IT, section 7, states the legisla tive assembly does not have the pow er to crat a, state Indebtedness be yond $50,000. The Issue may have to be decided by an attorney genera rt opinion. It was "further argued the emerg ency board may have the right under the act to negotiate with the federal (tovemment for funds without creat ing an Indebtedness as defined by tie constitution. The Issue created a new angle on new capltol construe tion More Uncertainty aince the board was not called Into F&&lon to consider the emergency n the result of the fire, the point wa Ignored off lcla 11 y. Construction of buildings condemned at the atate fairgrounds was the pirpose for which the governor requested the meeting. It was found no appropriation nor action could be taken without vow of five or more member of the board of seven. Should Representatives Coo ter and Semon be disqualified aa a result of the attorney general opin ion which declared their seats in the legislature were vacant, the boa-d would still have five bona fid mem bers, but any action would require a unanimous vote. Old UulK TfteleM Confirming It oral recommenda tions the atate planning board yes terday advised the board of control by lettnr that "It was not considered desirable to save the witlla of the burned capitol building or to uao . them aa part of a rebuilt capltol building-." Oovernor M'artln decl-ared the boari of control was proceeding with th rafting on the basis of the Judgment of the members of the control body "reinforced by the opinion of the planning bnard." He art.ii, with the consent of Secretary of State Ifi-rl Anall, the board was 'assuming Ita rwponsibltlty to prepare the way for the leglaUttire to act quickly and ef ficiently In construction of a new buMdlng." 0 Portland fla Plan John B.

Bright and early In 1910 he was again brought into court on a disorderly conduct charge, apparently served his sentence, was released, but ln a sh&rt time was aaln ln the clutches of the low on the same charge. Twice In 1910 he was taken to court to face grand larceny charges, and acialn In 1912 the New York courts mulled over him on two more grand larceny charges, but the print ed record received here does not In dicate what sentences he served. AfL er this fling Into crime. Werbel at least avoided arrest until 1915. when he was yanked into magistrates court, also In New York, on a charge of gambling. Twelve arrests ln New York in less than ten years finally seemed to convince Werbel that he was being ''framed,' and "railroaded," so he parked tip and departed for Chicago. So 1016 found him at work ln Chi cago, mit apparently the Chicago po lice didn't like his looks any better than the New York ones did, and he found himself staring a Chicago Judge In the eye on a gambling chnrge. Possibly Indignant at this treatment, he either remained out of trouble or tn Jail until 1922, by which time lie had again wended ulf way to New York, where he was hooked! once more for gambling. All then went well uiitll 1920. at which time the New York officers picked him up and arraigned him jn three counts of participation ln a , "con" game. And so no more was heard of Abraham Werbel until 1927. when in Mlneola. N. Y.. he was ar rested, tried, and sent to Sing ' Sing for six years on two counts of grand larceny. He served that time ln Slr.g Sing, was released ln 1933. hit out for Chicago, where the Loop police held him for awhile for investigation. In 1934 he was picked up by the Log Angeles police as a fugitive from Ohio on a swindling charge. That was his last arrest until he was ar rested by state police here. Another sheet of his record shows that at various times between 1920 and 1926. he was arrested on charges of swindle, larceny by trick, bunco steering, confidence game, receiving stolen goods, and grand larceny In several different cities, including Du luth. Detroit, Hammond, Indiana; Crown Point. Indiana, and Michigan City. Indiana. According to the state police, in view of Werners long record of va rlous swindling rackets. It is remark able that he should be outwitted by the local merchant. Many police of fleers throughout the country have failed to catch him on some of his more clever stunts. It was stated.

NEW YORK, May 8 (AP) A blast of criticism sounded today ln the wake of the announcement of the year's Pulitzer play, "The Old Maid." by Zoe Aklns. The drama, adapted from a story by Edith Wharton, was chosen by the advisory board of the Columbia school of Journalism as the best American play in 1934. Clayton Hamilton, who resigned last year after serving 16 years on the Pulitzer drama Jury, said the board had passed up the "finest play of this year and of many years" "The Children's Hour" for a play which lt merely "the transference or a novel to the stage." In Hollywood. Miss Aklns replied: "I'm not Interested in discussing this. However, in Ml fairness, I must point out that "The Green Pastures' ( 1930 Pulitzer prize winner) also was an adaptation." Miss Aklns gave full credit to Mrs. Wharton for the inspiration for the Play. The drama winner was announced by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi dent of Columbia university, last night, along with the Pulitzer awards ln other fields. Women received two other major literary prl:s. A first novel, "now in November," by Josephine Wlnslow Johnson, 24- year-old Missourlan. was given the 1000 award for literature.
