-' City, '
Washington, D. 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."

DOCTORS' TRUST ABOUT
TO BREAK IN WISCONSIN
Boycott of Eugenic Marriage Law
Because of Fee Appears
a Failure.
, Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 10. The man
damus suit to test the validity of the
Eugenic marriage law this afternoon
was put over until Monday by Judge
Eschweller, and it was believed in many
quarters the suit will never be filed.
The action of the Milwaukee Maternity
hospital staff in offering to perform
the prescribed examination for $3.00, it
was believed, will eventually break up
the physicians "boycott" on the law.
Local physicians tonight discredited
the statement of the Superior doctor,
who has offered to perform the Was-
serroan test for J3, adding he would
"make 2 at that."
Milwaukee physicians claim the
Wasserman test cannot be made for
less than $10.

Attorney Frank Collier, representing

complaint at 2 o'clock. Nichols imme

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

court precedents to show that only

authority, meaning the soldiers under
their commanding officer, are subject

Marine Corps Force Ordered

(United Press Leased Wire.)
Washington, Jan. 10. Regarded by
many naval officers as the most vul
nerable point owned by the United
States for Japanese attack, Guam Is
to be fortified strongly, according to
intimations given out by the navy de
partment tonight. 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
