The removal of the PostofTlce from the building will allow space for the forestry and other departments which are now belna housed In the city outside Government buildings at an annual rental cost of more than J 15.00'). , In the last session of Conaress Sena tor Bourne Introduced a measure In the Senate appropriating 11.000.000 for a new Postoffire In Portland. This n-.easure Is still In the hands of the committee on buildings and grounds, action on It having been delayed be cause a site had not beeeo obtained. Representative Lafferty has Introduced a measure which provides for an ap propriation of I2.009.00O. It la not expected, however, that Congress will Uk any definite action on an appro priation at the present session as It Is an estraordmary session called by President Taft primarily for the pur pose of considering Canadian recipro city. rians May Be ComprtltlT. J. Knox Taylor, supervising; architect fr the Oovernment. can. however, pro ceed at once to prepare plans. It la presumed that advantare will be taken of the Parsney art. which provides that architects outside the Government serv ice who are members of the American Institute of Architect, may enter com petitive plans for Federal buildings. The local Architectural Club has urged IMS course on the Government. The present PostofTlce quarters are not adequate and It Is presumed that Pipervlslnc Architect Taylor will call for competitive plans to expedite the construction of the local building. The appropriation will probably be forth coming at the next session of Con gress, which convenes In Wcember. First Site Itejeoted. J. W. Hill, a Harvard classmate "t President Taft. was criglna.ly depu tised by the President to select a I'osto.Tlce site. He chose a block bounded bv Couch. Burnslde. Eleventh and Twelfth street.. tit this proved unacceptable, principally tor tne rea son that the PostofTlce Iepnrtment has adopted the policy of obtaining sites a. close as possible to terminal grounds and refuses to veer front It. The ap propriation of 1500.000. or as much thereof as might be necessary to obtain en adequate site, was made June 23. ism. Bids were then called and block S was offered for 1340.000 or 110.000 less than the next lowest bid. Bubseqtient Iv the price was reduced to 1325.000 when the Secretary of the Treasury showed hesitancy about acting. Con demnation suits were Instituted which rerulted In verdicts being returned.

Councilman Baker, who Is repre senting the Fourth Ward until. July I, when he becomes a Councilman-at-Large. raised the question of whether the company Intended to loop Its trains and not to operate over double tracks, as had been promtsej when the Salmon-street franchise was granted. He said that a loop service would not be satisfactory to himself or his consti tuents, and Mr. Carey assured him that the company wlil not use a loop.

LAWYERS ABSTRACT N&TRUST CO. 6 BOARD OF TRADE BLO. PORTLAND, OREJ Gladys Arkansas Brickley, Not Yet 19, Swears She Was Drugged Before Ceremony. MINISTER NOTES STUPOR Judge Ganfenbeln Annuls Marriage or Domestic Who Awakens From Iethargy to Find She Wedded Stranger. Annulment of a marriage she tes tified was obtained through' force and fraud while she was under the influ ence of drugs administered to her for that purpose, was granted Gladys Ar kansas Brickley yesterday morning by Judge Gantenbels. The testimony of Mrs. Brickley was partly confirmed by the Rev. Jacob E. Snyder, of the Piedmont Presbyterian Church, who performed the ceremony uniting her to Thomas Brickley. who. said the wlfo. disappeared after she refused to accept him as her husband. The clergyman testified that when he was called to perform the ceremony, he declined at first, as he realized there was something wrong, but re lented and agreed to marry the couple. Girl Employed as Domestic. Mrs. Brickley was an Oregon City girl, and answered an .advertisement for a domestic to work for Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Ankorn. of 442 Brown street, Portland, beginning her service with tbem November 8, 1910. At the Ankorn home, as a roomer there, was Thomas Brickley. who Im mediately began to pay court to the young woman, then only 18 years old. In her second day at the Ankorn home. Brickley proposed marriage to her, but she refused, saying that he and the family for whom she worked were en tire strangers to her. The marriage proposal was repeated the next day, but again it was met with refusal, with the same explana tion. On the following day, at the dinner table, at which the girl sat with the family, Brickley insisted that she take wine, but she refused. Wine Taken, Mind Then Blank. After continued urging, the girl took a taste of the wine, and on further .ntr.il. Innli mure of th lloUOT. What happened after that, she said, she had no recollection, until e o ciuua, wucu she was on her way to her room. Be hind her was Brickley, who Insisted that he was her husband, and exhibit ed a marriage license. Mrs. Brickley hurried Into 'her room, and locked the door behind her. Early the next morning she packed her things and left the house. Since, she hag been unable to learn anything about the whereabouts of her husband. Minister Sees Bride Dazed. A search for the people for whom she was working at the time of the marriage, resulted In Mrs. Brickley being told that they had moved to Seattle, and as Brickley had told her the second day after her arrival at the house that he was going to British Columbia, she believes he Is there, al though she has been unable to find hrm. "Rev. Mr. Snyder. In relating the pe culiar actions of the girl at the time of the ceremony, and her dazed con dition, furnished enough additional evidence to Justify the court In grant ing the annulment asked.
