ASKS WORK ON
BOYS SCHOOL
BE POSTPONED
New Superintendent Says
Construction Should Be
Delayed Until After
Legislature Can Act

Postponement of construction
work on the new boys training
school until after the next legisla-
tive session can make provision
for a more suitable location for
the institution, is recommended by
w. L. Kuzer, superintendent OF
the school, in letter to the state
board of control. Kuzer's recon-
mendation, however, is contingent
upon the assurance that FUNDS
now available for the new insti-
tuition will not be lost through de-
lay and upon the pledge of oppo-
nents to the present proposed
building site to support move
for the purchase of additional
lands for the new. institution be-
fore the next legislature.
An appropriation of $2SO,OOO
was made by the 1921 regular ses-
sion Of the legislature for the con-
struction of new boys training
school on the cottage plan. A site
adjoining the site of the present
boys institution was selected by
the board of control for the new
Institution, Governor Olcott and
Secretary Of State Kozer con-
curing in the selection with
State Treasurer Hoff opposing the
selection as entirely unsuited both
as to the character of the soil and
the environment for training
school purposes. The act appro-
priating the funds for the new
buildings, however, provided that
the institution should be located
on lands already owned by the
state which left little choice in
the matter Of site unless the rec
ommendation of Kuzer is adopted
and construction work postponed
until additional land can be pro-
vided for by another legislative
session.

|EX EMPEROR
OF HAPSBURG
DYNASTY DEAD
Charles, Former Ruler of
Austria Hungary, Goes
to Last Rest On Island
Where Exiled

Funchal, Madeira, April l.
(By Associated Press. )-Former
Emperor Charles of Austria Hun
gary died here today.
Ill For Weeks
Charles was taken i'll slightly
more than a week ago. He was
first said to be suffering from
fever, but direct advices from
Funchal on March 2S announced
that his malady was bronchial
pneumonia and later it was stated
that he was suffering from
pneumonia with cerebral compli-
cations. His condition became SO
serious Wednesday that extreme
unction was administered.
There was some improvement
in the former rulers condition
Wednesday night but he failed to
maintain this gain and Friday IS
advices were that he was growing
worse rapidly.
The Illness of the ex-ruler Great
ed widespread sympathy among
the monarchists in both Vienna
and Budapest. One of the former
court physicians started from
Vienna in the hope of reaching
Funchal and attending the ex-
monarch, a subscription of several
million crowns having been raised
to defray the expense, while in
Budapest 1t was reported that
Count julius Andrassy had sold q
famous Rembrandt for 100000
francs to assist the exile.
Former Emperor Charles oi
Austria-Hunary and his wife, Zita
were sent into exile by the entente
allies after he had made two spec
tacular attempts to regain the
thrones either Of Austria or Hun
gary. Thereafter he was kept a
political prisoner on the Portuguese
island Of Madeira, 400 miles Off
the African coast.
Exile Like Napoleon's.
Although his situation in exile
there resembled in some respects
that of Napoleon at st. Helena
Charles and Zita occupied a much
more comfortable position for they
were given pleasant home in the
beautiful city of Funchal, whose
residents treated them with
friendly consideration.
ExE Empress Zita had left her
children in Switzerland and when
one of them was taken i'll, the al
lied government permitted her to
return to that country and visit
them.
After the establishment of the
Austria republic, November IL,
1913, Charles, then in Austria,
sought permission to remain in
that county, but he was asked to
leave after 1t was found he was
plotting for his resumption of
power. He left with his family
late in March, 1919, and rented
a house on the bank of Lake Ge-
neva at Prangins, where he resid-
ed for some months.
Refused to Abdicate.
During this time, reports of his
alleged plotting leaked out and

b|RTCHET TO RUN
FORPOL|CE Chief;
RECORD HELD UP

"a strict enforcement Of all
laws and city ordinances, together
with efficiency, economy and a
square DEAL" is promised, if elect
ed, by Police Sergeant Walter w.
Birtchet, well known Salem police
officer, who today announced he
will be a candidate in the May
primaries for the office of chief
of police of Salem.
Sergeant Birtchet, who was
born near Albany and who has re-
sided in the Willamette valley for
80 years, is widely known
throughout this vicinity. During
the 10 months that he has been a
member of the Salem police de-
partment he has established a re-
markable record as an officer, and
friends declared this afternoon he
will put up strong race.
Clean City Promised.
"a clean city government and a
square deal for everybody" Is one
of the planks in Sergeant Brit
chefs platform. He adds, ''if elect
ed city marshal l shall devote my
entire time to the office"
Sergeant Birtchet became
known over the state about four
months ago when he received
statewide publicity over an ar
rest, held to be extraordinary,
which he executed. On December
Birtchet, who was then a pa
trolman, was ordered to bring in
William Rogers, a logger, who was
reported to be creating a disturb
ance.
Promotion Is Won.
Rogers, resenting the officers
request to leave the house in
which he was visiting, drew a gun
and shot Birtchet. Although seri-
ously wounded, Birtchet floored
his big assailant, placed him un-
der arrest, took him to a waiting
automobile, and delivered him to
the police station. Later Birtchet
was removed to his home where,
for several weeks, he was under
the care of physicians.
Shortly after Birtchet was again
able to assume his duties on the
force he was promoted to sergeant,
the rank which he now holds. I'm
til recently he handled the desk
work during the day shift at the
station.
Would Be on Job.
III elected chief of police I will
personally in charge of the
office during the day." Sergeant
Birtchet said.
Sergeant Birtchet is 80 years
old.
Two men are now in the race
for police chief-Verden Moffitt
having announced his desire to be
reelected. Frank Mimic. a for
mer Salem officer, stated vester-
day he will not be candidate.
