Evidence of Submarine Com
mander's Sketch Is Not
Regarded as Final.
EARLY ANSWER PROBABLE
Berlin's Admission as to Three
Cases Simplifies Task Germany
to Be Told Evidence Accu
mulates Against Her.
WASHINGTON, April 12. Admission
by Germany that her submarines re
cently attacked three merchant ships
carrying: American citizens and that
one of them torpedoed a vessel in the
vicinity of the point where the steamer
fcussex was damaged by an explosion
has simplified the task of the State
Department in preparing for the next
step of the United States in the issue
over submarine warfare.
Following the receipt in cabled press
dispatches of the latest German note,
it became known that the United States
would continue to compile information
Indicating that the German submarines
are operating in violation of rules of
international law and that soon a com
munication, designed to be the final
word of the American Government on
the subject, would go forward to Ber
lin. Facts as to Attacks Collected.
The State Department virtually has
completed the collection of facts relat
ing to ay attacks on merchant ships
since the Lusitania. Further evidence
In the case of the Sussex forwarded by
the American embassies at London and
Paris is to arrive on the liner St. Paul
Friday.
The unofficial text of the note from
Germany was communicated to Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Laneing to
night. It will be considered by the
Cabinet at its regular meeting on
Friday.
Officials made it clear tonight that
whatever might be the form of the
. Instructions to Ambassador Gerard, the
purpose of the document to be handed
the German government would be to
give notice that the United States con
eiders it has a great array of evidence
tending to prove that in spite of' re
iterated assurances and pledges given
. by Germany, peaceful merchant ships
carrying American citizens, or which
might have some aboard, continue to
be victims of illegal attacks.
Responsibility Sot Doubted. ,
Officials said the statements in the
German note would be carefully exam
ined and compared with the evidence
already before the State Department
in preparing the case of the United
States. In view of the admission that
a German submarine was in the vicinity
when the Sussex was attacked, and the
array of evidence pointing to the con
clusion that she was torpedoed, little
doubt is felt here as to responsibility
for that disaster, despite the explana
tion that a sketch made by the sub
marine commander of a ship he tor
pedoed did not correspond with the de
scription of the Sussex.
There is no disposition on the part
of President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing to enter into a debate of the
submarine issue with Germany. It is
declared that the principles contended
for by the United States in a series of
notes have been made very clear and
that Germany has been sufficiently
warned that further attacks in viola
tion of international law would be con
sidered deliberately unfriendly acts.
American Lives In Danger.
In none of the cases considered by
Germany in her note were American
lives lost, but in all of them Americans
were endangered. Four American horse
handlers were on the Englishman, more
than a score of American passengers
were on the Sussex, four Americans
were on the Berwindvale, two negro
Americans were on the Manchester
Engineer and one American has made
affidavit that his life was endangered
when the Eagle Point was torpedoed.
The United States, in its investiga
tion of the cases of the Sussex and the
four merchant ships about which Ger
many was asked the Englishman,
Manchester Engineer, Berwindvale and
Eagle Point has been proceeding on
the assumption that two elements re
mained to be proved before action
could be taken. The first had to do
with establishing that the vessels
actually were torpedoed; the second,
with the legality or illegality of the
attacks.
Germany has admitted sinking three
" of the ships, and evidence in the pos
session of the State Department strong
ly indicates that in at least two of the
cases the acts were in contravention
of American rights.
$75,000 PAID FOR TIMBER
Seattle Company Buys 250,000,000
Feet in Kin? and Snoliomisli.
SEATTLE. Wash.. April 12. The
Snohomish Logging Company, with
headquarters here, yesterday purchased
250,000,000 feet of standing timber in
King and Snohomish counties from the
Puget Mill Company for $750,000.
The mill company retains ownership
of the land. The purchaser today sent
logging crews to the tract, which lies
fioutli of the Snnqnalmie River.
ONE day more and the great Spring
drive of the office-seeking bri
gade, which is really numerous
enough for half a dozen brigades, mili
tarisiically speaking, will come to a
halt.
Not that "the boys" are tiring of the
situation. Oh, far be it -from " that.
'Tis meat and drink to many of them, is
the situation. "Forward to jobs!" makes
a bold rallying cry. Ah, no, 'tis not
through weariness that the charge of
the candidates will etop. since for
every candidate who drops out a hun
dred are ready to spring up in his
place.
It is the law that steps in and calls
a pause. Under the law, tomorrow is
the last day on which the Secretary of
State can accept a declaration or pe
tition of candidacy for party nominations.
After tomorrow, in short, a candidate
for a state office can't pry, beg or
wheedle his name on the ballot. Any
onewho feels that he simply must run
for "some office or other after tomor
row will have to Oo so as an inde
pendent. All previous Temarks about candi
date famines, or words to that effect.
are hereby retracted. Candidates have
swarmed to the front in the last couple
of days, and more of the last-minute
boys are preparing to dash in today
and tomorrow.
At the rate that declarations were
coming in from all parts of the state
yesterday, two men and a boy couldn't
have kept track of the grand candidate
total. Enough for curiosity to say that
the number of candidates for Represen
tative in the Legislature from Mult
nomah County alone, which has 12
seats to fill, is now 30 Republicans and
three Democrats, while 11 Republi
cans and no Democrats are out for the
State Senate.
Registration books close throughout
the state four days after the deadline
tomorrow for declarations of candi
dacy, or next Tuesday, April 18.
Wednesday, April 13, is the last day to
file for county offices.
Russell Hawkins, of Tillamook, is a
candidate for delegate-at-large to the
Republican National Convention at Chi
cago, on a platform declaring for
Charles E. Hughes as the Republican
nominee for President.
"f favor Charles E. Hughes as the
candidate that the Republican conven.
tion should select as their nominee for
President"Vf the United States," says
Mr. Hawkins in his statement of can
didacy. "In the selection of Mr. Hughes
we secure a candidate with a political,
public and personal record beyond crit
icism a candidate who will unite and
receive the solid support of the en
tire rank and file of the Republican
party.
"The nomination of Mr. -Hughes
means that the next President of tha
L'niied States will be a Republican."
Mr. Hawkins is 46 years old and has
been associated with lumber and the
manufacture of lumber products sinca
1893. He became a representative ot
the Whitney Company. Ltd., of Detroit,
and moved to Oregon in 1908.
In 1910 he installed what was ther
an innovation in the lumber business
a logging camp with every modern
convenience for the welfare of the em
ployes, including a library, shower
baths, dryhouses for clothes, sanitary
lavatories, clean and habitable sleep
ing quarters and good food cooked and
served under the best conditions.
This camp, contrary to predictions of
many "old-timers" in the logging busi
ness, won the honor of producing a
greater footage per man than any
other camp in the Columbia River
Basin.
Through Congressional aid and the
co-operation of taxpayers of the Port
of Bay City, Mr. Hawkins in 1912 ob
tained $814,000 for the improvement of
Tillamook harbor. The project, which
contemplates the building of a jetty
5700' feet long and the dredging ol
channels five miles into the bay, is
now progressing. Twenty-five feet of
water on the Tillamook bar is expected
as a result in 1ST17.
Fred W. Wagner, well-known Port
land business man, announced his can
didacy yesterday for Representative in
the Legislature from Multnomah Coun
ty. Here is his campaign slogan:
"An increased army of dinner pails
and smokestacks."
. Mr. Wagner has lived in Portland
since 1884. As a lad he learned the
tile-setting trade. By attention to
business and good work, though only
38 years old, he is today head of a big
tile-setting business. He was the pio
neer of this line of work in Portland.
He has laid the tile floors in every
big building in the city, including,
among others, the Multnomah County
Courthouse, the Yeon. Board of Trade
and Lewis buildings. A few years ago
he handled the largest tile-setting con
tract ever awarded west of Chicago, on
the Providence Hospital at Seattle. At
the same time he was doing the tile
work in the new O.-VV. R.fc N. depot

Mr. Wagner also set the tiling of the
Couch and fhattuck Schools swimming
baths.
For live years Mr. Wagner was a
call-man with Hose Company No. of
the Tortland fire department, lie re-
KFigned when the department was put
on a lull paid basis. A short time
afterward occurred the big Chamber
of Commerce fire. Mr. Wagner left
his work, hurried ro the fire, volun
teered for service, and went through
fire and smoke with his former com
panions. He was one of the first men
to 'climb the fire escape with a line of
hose, and was slightly burned about
the hands in the course of the fire.
In recognition of gallant service, Mr.
Wagner was publicly complimented by
Kirc Chief Campbell, who ajso con-
lerien on mm a oipioma ol membership

I am heartily in favor of the pres

While" the Democratic and Repub
ltcan parties in Oregon each are to
have 10 delegates to their National con
ventions, the Progressive party will
have only five. This is not due to any
discrimination against the Progres
sives. To the contrary, only five dele
gates were apportioned to Oregon by
the Progressive National committee, or
the same number as the state has rep
resentation in Congress. while the
other two parties elect their delegates
on the ratio of two to each member
in Congress.
This will be the personnel of the
Progressive ticket for delegates to the
Progressive 'National convention:
First District Leland S. Beveridge
of Jledford. Mr. Beveridge is a cousin
of ex-United States Senator Beveridge
Second District Paul Buchholz, of
Stanfield.
Third District David L. Tovey, of
Portland.
Delegates-at-large Dr. Henry Wal
do Coe and A. E. Clark, both of Port
land.
The Progressives also will put a full
ticket of candidates for Presidential
elector in the field. Five are to be
elected. Tom P. Campbell, of Hermis
ton; A. I. Moulton and Emmett Calla
han," of Portland, have announced
themselves, and T. B. Neuhausen, Pro
gressive state. chairman, says two
other men will announce today.
Efforts are being made to induce D
J. Wentworth and S. B. Cobb, both of
whom were members of the Multnomah
County delegation in the lower house
of the 191o Legislature, to become can
didates again. I
With the slogan, "I am for a square
deal, economic justice, no special pri
vileges, Norman S. Richards is a can
didate for representative in the Legis
lature from Multnomah County. He
has lived in Portland since 1911, com
ing here from ChehaTs, where he lived
for 10 years. lie is a lawyer.
Shirley D. Parker, of Portland, is
candidate to the Democratic- Nationa
convention from the Third District.
'Wiil endeavor to represent the voters
who elect me in such a way and man
ner that they , will be fully satisfied
and proud of having chosen me," he
says in his statement to voters. Mr.
Parker is the only lawyer running for
delegate from this district. He polled
a large vote two years ago as candi
date for District Judge.
Several candidates were speakers at
a luncheon of the Portland Retail
Druggists' Association held in the
Chamber of Commerce at noon yester
day. Among them were Plowden Stott
and Stephen A. Matthieu, candidates
for the Legislature: J. P. Kavanaugh,
W. N. Gatens and W. M. Davis, candi
dates for Circuit Judge; John B. Cof
fey, candidate for re-election as Coun
ty Clerk, and Andy Vaughn, candidate
for Constable.
The Lincoln Republican Club will
hold another meeting for candidates at
8 o'clock tonight in the assembly hall
of the Central Library. Candidates for
the Republican nomination for Con
gress, from the Third District, com
prising Multnomah County, and candi
dates for delegate to the Republican
National convention will speak. The
Young Ladies' Wednesday Afternoon
Musical Club, consisting of 20 trained
voices under the direction of William J.
Belcher, will sing. Miss Dolores Cul
len will give a violin solo, accompanied

Republican National convention from
the Third District is A. Lincoln Mac
Leod, who announced his candidacy
yesterday. He has lived in Oregon 33
years and in Portland' 10 years. He
declares for Hughes. Other candidates
from the Third District are Colonel
David M. Dunne. Clarence R. Hotchkiss
and David E. Lofgren. Two are to be
elected.
At a meeting of the Albina Repub
lican Club, held in the Albina Branch
Library Tuesday night, Wilson T.
Hume, a candidate for the Republican
nomination for judge of department
No. 5 or the Circuit Court against Judge
J. P. Kavanaugh, the incumbent,
made a bitter personal attack on Judge
Kavanaugh.
Mr. Hume charged Judge Kavanaugh
with having apparently been influenced
by ulterior motives of some kind in a
number of his decisions which, he de
clared further, did not harmonize with
the law. He said he would cite but
one specific instance, and then went on
to say that about the time efforts were
being made to extradite Louis J. Wilde,
former Portland banker, for trial in
Portland some years ago. Judge Kav
anaugh's health failed.
Then, Mr. Hume continued. Judge
Kavanaugh went to San Diego, Mr.
Wilde's home town, to recuperate. He
asked for an explanation as to why
Judge Kavanaugh found it necessary to
go to Mr. Wilde's home town at that
particular time.
When it came his turn to speak.
Judge Kavanaugh made a warm reply
to Mr. Hume's remarks.
He said that Mr. Hume had told a
wilful, deliberate falsehood in his rela
tion of the alleged facts as to Judge
Kavanaugh's having gone to San Diego.
"I have never been in San Diego in my
life," said Judge Kavanaugh.
The Judge then went on to say that
he had tried honestly and impartially
every case that ever came before him,
and pointed to the small number of re
versals of his decisions on appeal to
the Supreme Court. He said it was not
his fault that Mr. Hume bad never won
a case in his court, but the fault of the
facts. Mr. Hume, he explained, had
appealed from several decisions from
his.court and in not a single instance
had the Supreme Court reversed one of
these decisions.
Judge Kavanaugh. concluded by, eay-
