Voted favorably on proposl-
Nt tlon to merge with Portland in
1910", but merger was prevented
by constitutional provisions.
9jf
Less than-flve years ago a majority
of the citizens of St. Johns voted to
merge their city with Portland. Will
they do It again?
This question will be answered to
morrow, when the proposal to mergd
with Portland will be submitted to the
St. Johns voters at the regular-city
election. Incidentally, candidates for
the various city offices are also to be
voted on, but interest in them is lost
in the til-absorbing issue of merging.
When St. Johns voted in November,
1910, to become, a part of Portland, it
failed of its desire by bumping into a
constitutional question. Merger had
as determined opponents then as now,
and when the question carried, the re
sult was contested in the courts. At
torney George J. Perkins was em
ployed to fight the merger., He car
ried the case to the supreme court,
which, rendered a decision that the
merger proceedings were unconstitu
tional. ' , '
To cure the situation following that
decision, an. amendment to the condti
tuttaa waj submitted- to -the.-vo.ters of
the state at the last general election,
and was approved by a large vote.
This amendment authorised the en
actment of a general law, providing a
method for two cities to merge. The
last legislature enacted such a law.
In this manner the way was cleared
for the people of St. Johns to again
vote upon the question of becoming a
part ot Oregon's metropolis, and with
reasonable assurance that the voice of
the majority will be effective.
Flye years ago, when, the question
was submitted. 362 votes were cast in
fayor of the proposition and 300 votes
against it. A total of, 678 votes were
cast out of a registration of 947. At
this time nearly 1500 voters are reg
istered, and if the strenuous work be
ing done by both sides is an indication
of the interest that will be shown on
election day, a. very large percentage
of the electors will go to the polls.

the men and women to do their own
thinking on this occasion, as on all

Mrs. Alice Weister: "I am very en

speak. 1 hope they. will see the error
of their ways and come over to the

Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens: "Nothing

Mrs. James B. Kerr: "I signed the

The only argument I have heard
against it Is the present hard times,
but it seems to me that no better
means for helping the times could be
evolved than this plan of Improving
the roads and thus bringing the city
and the country, the merchant and the
farmer closer together."

Washington, April 3.After the
mystification concerning the German
raider Print Eitel Frederjch had been
lifted tonight by a wireless from Ad
miral Beatty at. Norfolk to Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Peters say
ing the vessel" was still at Newport
News at 10 p. m..- tonight official
Washington settled! down to' excited
speculation as to I whether the yet
raging storm would; furnish cover . for
the long expected escape before day-Hs-ht
j- , - -. ,
j Communication was practically cu.t
Off. All Washington knew thut with
the worst of weat'ier prevailing, con
ditions . are ideal for- Commander
Thierlchens and his daring new to
make good their declaration that they
were going to i sea again. Before the
storm had blotted out telegrnpi and
telephone lines the . news hn.I coma
that the Eitel Friederich was fully pre
pared for the sea and only awaited
her chance. The day's storm certainly
offered the chance. Swirling snow and
a northeast gale had driven thu
French and British blockading squad
ron five miles off the capes. This
weather continuing, mariners declared
tonight 'that only accident could cause
the Eitel's capture if she sought to
run the line. Clear skies are predicted
for tomorrow, a hare and houndn raca
across the waters might mark Easter
day on the deep.
Mearerness of Vows "Explained.
One explanation of the meagerneas
of the news, even wireless news, from
the Virginia Capes' Is that with the
only wireless station there the gov
ernment Is bound by this nation's neu
trality not to send word of .the Eltel'n
activity, or lack of .'activity. vhi
seis -outatdn ready to
up any messaga that might be i .
hews would be Information for t..-;
Eltel's enemies and therefore an un
neutral act. i . - - . -
'After Secretary of Navy Daniels ha l
asked the Norfolk navyyard by wire
less whether the Eitel was still there,
and before answer had been received,
Counsellor Lansing, of the state de
partment, called. It Is understood he
took the position that for Daniels to
have any of his subordinates send
wireless word regarding . the KUrl
would be a violation of neutrality.
However, Secretary Daniels stated he
was without news from Norfolk...
Later Peters got the message trim
Admiral Beatty, asking for certuln In
structions, and making It clear the
Eitel still was In dock. ,
The White House was furnished lat
today with the following Information

Into a seething cauldron of froth.
Among the liners held at their p)r
