L The directors of the newly organ ized union high school district, em bracing Gladstone, Parkplnco, Clack amas and Jennings Lodge, effected or ganization Wednesday In the Glad stone city linll, by the election of E.

Tho new union high school district proposes to issue bonds to the amount of $12,5(10 for the construction of a building this summer, to be completed In time for tho opening of the fall term. Tho bond election will be held June 19, at a building located near the site of the proposed school build ing In Gladstone park. E Work on tho county rock bunkers which will bo built under tho Willam ette. Valley Southern trestle In the northern part of tho city hns been be gun and will be completed within a few wcokB. The county court Is now making arrangements to haul gravel from these hunkers to roads In the northern part of tho county. I ttds wero opened Thursday by tho court for furnishing lumber for the redecklng of the Parkplace bridge and the contract was awarded to George I.nmmers, of tho Roaver Creek district. His bid was f 9.90 a thousand. GAME CASE APPEALED Sherman brothers, of the Molalla district, who were convicted by a Jury In Justice Slevers court on a charge of having deer nient In tholr posses sion, were found not guilty when the case was tak?n to tho circuit court Thursday. Judge Grant B. Dlmlck. who represented the Shermans when the CBse wns tried In the lower court, appeared again Thursday for the de fendants. A lnrge number from the Molalla district came In to hear the caso, which is the first of a series of four appeals from the justice court to be tried within a week. October 1 and not lierenther 1. w ill be the date of the first delivery of water through thn South Fork pipe line, providing there are no serious In terruptions In the work. This Is the opinion of II. A. Rands, engineer In charge of the project, who bases hla estimate on the speed with whlji work Is now going on and the prospect for thre- months ot undis turbed work In the summer. "Is sec no reason why we cannot pet the line Into Oregon City by October, ho said. "During July, August and September we should be able to do a great amount of work. Nothing would please mo more than to have the pipe through two months before the con tract time." Trench 60 Per Cent Complete. The contract calls for delivery of water In Oregon City December 1 and the completion of tho line January 31. The two months, December and Janu ary are allowed for back-filling. Tho trench Is now 60 per rent com plete, according to the estimate of Engineer Rands. Through the canyon of the Clackamas, the ditch has been dug almost all the way while through the Estncada district the contractors are waiting for the arrival of the pipe. Men were put to work this week on the extreme Oregon City end of the line, this side of the J. U. Campbell farm. Two hundred and thirty men are working on tho line at the present time. Of this number 200 are em ployed In the canyon of the Clacka mas nnd In the trench across the river from Estacada. Four camps have been established on the banks of the Clackamas river. Canyon Presents Difficulties. The first shipment of pipe Is ex pected here either the latter part oi this week or the first of next. The shipment will consist of nine cars nnd will be enough to lay about two miles of the line. It will be delivered at Oregon City. A lnrge number of men In the enn- yon of the Clncknmns are now busy In making roads. Bridges hnve been built across the Clnckamns river and forrles established at several places. Trnnsportntion of pipe up the rooky gorge presents one ot the most diffi cult probloms ot the entire project. The old railroad grade on the north side of the Clacknmaa river will be opened up by the water commission with flnnncinl aid of the Portland Railway, Light & Tower company. The pipe survey, however, Is on the south sido of the river and roods are now being constructed from the old grade to the river bank at several places so thnt the heavy Joints of pipe can be transported across on ferries. Copenhagen Brothers, the subcontractors who are digging the trench for the upper 15 miles, will haul and distribute tho pipe. W. A. White Directs Upper Work. The building of roads, however, Is not the only problem confronting the engineers on the project. Tn the can yon of the Clnckamns river, even tun nels are necessary and men are work ing on all of these. One Is complet ed while another, over 600 feet In length, will probably be finished with in the next 10 days. The work In the canyon of the Clackamas Is receiving the greater part of the attention of the engineers and contractors. Ditch digging, transportation and back-filling in the country back of Oregon City will be ensy, but In the rocky walls of the Clackamas canyon, trench work is slow and transportation awkward. W. A. White, Jr.. la directing the work for the upper 10 miles, under Engi neer Randa. 2 BRITISH WARSHIPS BY ADMIRALTY ANNOUNCES LOSS OF MAJESTIC WHILE FIGHT ING IN DARDANELLES. LONDON. May 27. The admiralty announced late this evening that the llrltlsh bnttleship Majestic was tor pedoed and sunk by a Turkish sub marine in the Dardanelles today. This Information was contained In official dispatches from Admiral Derobeck, received via wireless and cable from Athens. Nearly all members of the crew were saved by other warships ot the allied fleet which was engaged In a terrific bombardment of the Turkish ports, cooperating with the attack of the French army ou the east side of The Narrows. The Majestic was under the com mand of Captain II. F. G. Talbot. The admiralty announced the loss of the Triumph last n'ght. The Triumph was also torpedoed. The Majestic was an old battleship of the 164 knot class, and was com pleted In ISO.'i. She had a normal com placenient of 757 men, and her arma ment Included four 12-inch buns, 12 6-Inch, 16 1 '.'-pounds; 13 3-pounders and smaller guns, together with tor pedo tubes. Her displacement was 14. 900 tons. N.C. Supervisor of Schools Vedder and N. C. Marls, field man of the state de partment of education, visited u !wtn- ber of schools in the county this week. W. A. Beer, of the Oregon Agriculture college, spent Wednesday with Super visor Vedder and Mr. Maris. Mr. Maris Is doing follow up work in the Industrial work begun a year ago. The schools visited this week are: Monday, Barlow and Canby; Tuesday, Teaslo Creek and Molalla; Wednes day, Clncknmns and Harmony; Thurs day, Willamette, Mllwaukle and Glad stone, and Friday, Oswego and Oak Grove. Mr. Maris will spend next week with Supervisor McCormick in tho eastern part ot the county. WASHINGTON". June 1. President , Wilson determlnted today that the I 1'i.lted States must ascertain deflnlte- l ly and promptly from Germany wheth ir the Imperial government Intends In the future to be guided by the accept ed principles of International law and the rights of neutrals or to follow Its own rules of maritime warfare. hTe president listened to a varied expression of opinion at a meeting of bis cabinet, taking little part In the discussion himself. Later he began the preparation of a note to be dis patched before the end of this week embodying his own Ideas and what seemed to him the consensus of opin ion of his official family. The verdict of a majority of the cab inet was that the German reply to the American note following the sinking of the Lusitanla was unresponsive and unsatisfactory; that it disregarded tho good will of the t'nited States, doubted Its facts and disclaimed all blame for the destruction of the mer chantman with American lives. The questions of fact raised by Ger many were regarded as irrevelant at this time. The trend of opinion was that the United States must Inquire and o'ltn'i an early answer a.i to whether Germauy Intends to leccg- hIta thn hitherto nerentpil nrlnelnV.;! 'i:il neutrals may travel anywhere the 'iigh seas ca i.narm1 nerchaut ships, whether cr not such vessels car ry contrabrand, aid that ini-cbrnt-rj"n which do not tvnist capture must t" visited and rearched and the pas sengers and crew transferred to a place of safety before the vessel Is destroyed. An unfavorable answer to this In quiry would lead- it was predicted In official quarters, to a severance of diplomatic relations on the ground thnt the United States could not con tinue intercourse with a government which repudiated these principles. Steps then would be taken to in form Americans of the dangers to which they were exposed, as a result of this action and such measures as necessary adopted to safeguard the lives and Interests of citizens of the United States. Should Germany accept the princi ple tn a way that would constitute a guarantee for the future, the Ameri can government would reiterate its demand for a "strict accountability" for violations of this principle and the killing ot Americans in the torpedoing without warning of the Lusitanla. WASHINGTON. May 31 Germany must accept the Amerlan view that the submarine warfare as now rim du ted la In violation of International law, or assume reaponilMlltw for In terrupting the friendly relations be tween the two governments. The president la determined not ti enter a prolonged argument. It waa stated In official clniea today. He has d lided nut to modify the de mand wbiiii were made upon Ger many following the sinking of the Lu sitanla. The presldent'a rejoinder to the latest n At received from Germany will swerp asldo all technlcalltlea. The alt'iutlon waa admittedly seri ous today. Only reconsideration by Berlin of the announced Intention of continuing the submarine warfare ran prevent at bast a' break In diplomatic relations with the kaiser's govern ment. It would rase no surprise In official circles If Ambassador Gerard should be recalled from Berlin and Count von Bernstorff. the German ambassador, handed his passport this week. America's future policy toward Ger many was todny taking shape. The official note from the German foreign office rejecting President Wilson's de mand that submarine attacks either be stopped or measures be taken to safeguard the lives of Americans abroad merchant vessels was re ceived from Ambassador Gerard at midnight. It was Immediately trans lated from the code and copies were sent to the president and Secretary Bryan. The decoding of the German note was completed at 10:15 today. Tho official text differs In wording from the umfflclal copy, but the essentials are almost Identical. The variations are attributed to differences In the translations. No offclal word of the Intentions of the administration was forthcoming today. It Is known, however, that President Wilson hopes to act prompt ly. It was expected his decision would be ready for the cabinet tomor row and the orwarding of a second note to Germany would Immediately follow. This note will answer Germany's demand for a "bill of particulars" in connection with the sinking of the Lusitanla in plain, cold terms. It will state that President Wilson knew when he forwarded the first protest that the Lusitanla was not recognized as an auxllary cruiser; that customs officials examined the liner and found that she was not only unarmed, but carried no munitions in violation of the laws of the United States. CAMPAIGN FOR RELIGIOUS UNITY RUSSIAN BARK SUNK. HULL. June 1. The Russian bark, Montrosa, has been sunk by a mine In the North Sea. The crew was land ed here today. The Montrosa was a vessel of 1022 tons, but very old, hav ing been built in 1863. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 2. Church delegates from nearly every denomination In the United States gathered here today for the confer ence on better co-operation of the va rious religious bodies. The confer ence will occupy two days, and is un der the direction of the federal coun cil of the Churches of Christ In Am erica. Sunday schools, Bible clnsseB. educational organization, missionary societies, brotherhoods, the Y. M. C. A., Christian Endeavor and other lea gues of young people have sent delegates. MEXICAN LEADERS ARE SETTLE THEIR TOLD THEY MUST EMS AT ONCE WASHINGTON, June 1 All fac tions in Mexico were publicly called upon by President Wilson today in the name of the United States government "to accommodate their differences" and set up a government that can be accorded recognition. Failure to unite In a movement To bring peace to Mexico "within a very short time." it waa announced in a statement telegraphed to Generals Carranza, Villa, Zapata and others, would constrain the United States "to decide what means should be em ployed" in order to save the people of the southern republic from further devasatatlons of internal warfare. Everywnere in official and diplo matic quarters and among Mexicans of varied leaning the statement was Interpreted as meaning that the Unit ed States would bring pressure to bear first to unite the factions in the choice of a provisional president and falling to bring all elements together, would give active support to those elements which did agree. Intervention was considered as a possible ultimate development, but only if a hopeless condition of an archy followed with no remedy from within the republic. The statement marks a departure in the policy of the Washington gov ernment toward Mexico. Its effect here was to start a va riety of speculation as to what the American government meant by lend ing "Its active moral support to some man or group of men, if such may be found in an effort to ignore if they cannot unite the warring factions of the country." In high official quarters it waa ex plained that the United States hither to had maintained neutrality as be tween the factions, but now was pre paring to choose between them or to give Its support to those elements in the existing factions which gave most promise of success.
