PORTLAND FAIR
BOARD HAMPERED
Lewis and Clark Exposition Law Not
Operative Till May 8.
CALL FOR MONEY REFUSED
MAY WORK UNDER LAW OF TWO
YEARS AGO.

The Utah commissioners for the Lewis
& Clark exposition ran against snag
yesterday when they discovered that
there was no emergency clause in the
law passed by the legislature creating
the commission and providing funds for
the Utah exhibit. For this reason the
law will not go into effect for sixty days
from the time it was passed. II was
not passed by two-thirds majority,
and it viii be May 9 before the law is
operative.
This oversight on the part of the leg
islature came to light Thursday when
Treasurer Rudolph Kuchler of the. COM
mission presented a requisition for
So, 200 on State Auditor Edwards. The
auditor refused to honor the requisi-
tion until the point had been definitely
settled as 10 whether the commission
was authorized to use the funds This
information was conveyed to Governor
Cutler yesterday by Secretary of State
Tingey.
Referred to Attorney General.
The matter was turned over to At
torney General Breeder for an opinion,
and he is now looking the matter up
1t is thought that even should it be de-
termined that the commission cannot
act under the law enacted at the last
legislature, it can act under the law en-
acted by the legislature two years ago

o'clock this morning. At that same
time those authorized to act for the
Louisiana Purchase commission will
meet for the purpose of turning over
to the new commission all the exhibits

that the old commission will close up
all it's unfinished business, meet all its
outstanding obliga tions. and leave the
field clear for the Portland eXposi-
ton.
At the meeting today the Lewis and
