C, Jan. 10 Senator Lane of .Oregon will introduce a bill when congress reconvenes designed to rectore Portland's water frontage to the city. This legislation has bsn tirged for a. long time by Dr. Zleglcr and other prominent Portland citizens. Speaking of the bill, Sepator Lane said today: ?'I have always believed in municipal ownership and if there is any way to recover the water frontage of Portland that has already passed into private hands it should be done. "As long as the harbor facilities are .owned by tha railroads or other private concerns, the city will bi squeezed. If Z had my way, I would ' like to See the city acquire the water front on; both sides of the river from one end of Portland to the other, wlt'j docks free for the use of the public "Portland'e future largely depends on Its dockage facilities and these should be in the hands of the city so that they will be put to the best pos sible' general use. "Dr. Ziegler holds that no private Interest has the right to acquire a monopoly of any clty'a water facilities, and that these rights are Inherent In the public. He Is drafting a bill to carry out his klaas, and I will intro duce It when congress reconvenes." i PLANNED . TODAY'S SUNDAY JOURNAL ' CONSISTS OF SECTION ONE TWELVE PAGES - Pag..

After Attorney Niphols, representing "William Stewart, deposed mayor of Copperfield, and Councilman William Weigand, in the injunction suit against Governor West, Miss Fern Hobbs, Colonel Lawson and others, had talked for two hours and a half this afternoon. Circuit Judge Anderson adjourned hearing of argu ment in demurrer in the case until Monday morning. Attorney Frank Collier, representing the defendants, filed an answer to the complaint at 2 o'clock. Nichols imme diately filed a demurrer and argu ment began at once. In his argument for sustaining the demurrer, Nichols quoted authorities defining the power of the governor in declaring martial law and the author ity of the courts as involved in the issue of the' case against Governor West. , Even granting that ' the governor was witmn nis rignts in aeciaring martial law, Nichols declared, the pro cedure was Illegal. He quoted supreme court precedents to show that only acts of those amenable to military authority, meaning the soldiers under their commanding officer, are subject to such conduct as marked the actions (Otaclnded on Page Two, Column Two)- Lf T v vi r- Marine Corps Force Ordered There; Many Japs in Mexico City.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels announced that eight of ficers and 275 men of the marine corps force now stationed in the Philippines, would be moved to Guam about Janu ary 19, for "drill and instruction in advance base work." , Daniels admitted he had been strongly urged by naval officers to make Guam one of the , most heavily fortified and armed stations of the United States in the east, 'but said he had not passed upon the question of ficially. ' This sudden action, before even the plans are officially passed upon, was taken here as one result of the pres ence in Mexico f squads of Japanese, from the Japanese cruiser Idzuma, now on the west coast of Mexico. Members of its crew, it was declared, have been permitted to Journey to Mexico City in small squads, without their uniforms, for "sightseeing." These -visits, involving such a long overland Journey, have given the state department considerable annoyance. but it was felt that a protest to Japan would not be justified, espe clally W view of the relations growing out of the alien land trouble in Call f ornla. .
