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

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

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

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.

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."

Wharton for the inspiration for the
Play.
