Kwnbr Mm Sm So VMd of
: Buying- sit S?or Koay
After two year of diffkerlnjr and
-consideration of - many offers cf -Bites
for, the Portland Trades school, the
question of truying: a site offered by
the the Anglo-Pacific Realty company
M broucrht to an issue at the meeting
of the school board yesterday' after
noon, and the school board members
decided to settle the matter one way
or another at a special meeting: tomor
row afternoon, t . " -
A sharp tut among members Of the
board occurred when the question came
up. rr. IS. A. Sommer opposed the
purchase of a site at this time, and
Dr. Alan Welch Smith and O, M. Plum
mer strongly favored It.
The latest site offered by the Anglo
Pacific Realty company comprises six
full : blocks and a disconnected frac
tional block In Holladay's addition..
The blocks are between East
Twelfth, East Fifteenth, Irving and
East Glisan streets. The " company
offered the land for 1115,000 in cash,
and to take the Buckman school prop
erty in trade, giving the school dis
trict the privilege of using the Buck
man school until January 1. 1917. . - '
"Dr. Smith made a motion to offer
the company $100,000 -cash and" the
Buckman school property, which he
said was valued at 44. 000. The com
pany's property was assessed this 'year
at 170,700.
During the last " two : years a dosen
or more sites for the trade school have
beep' offered to the beard. But the
last offer from the Anglo-Pacific com
pany was made this week, and Dr.
Sommer charged yesterday afternoon
that an attempt was being made to
railroad the deal through. He said
today he did not question the worth
of the property, but he did not see the
necessity of buying a Bite before
money wa& on hand to erect th3 build
ings. s
A roomy site is favorea by most of
the members of the board. Including
Dr. Sommer, as they say there will be
a group of buildings, and also there
should be room for athletic grounds.
Director Flummer, who, with Dr.
Sommer, comprise the grounds com
mittee. said he believed the price was
"low, the site was very desirable, and
that the board has authority sow to
make the tax levy sufficient to raise
money next year to erect the first unit
of the buildings required.

London, May 2L - The foreign office
has Issued a statement explaining why
Great, Britain has detained American
ships and giving the number of neutral
vessels carrying American cargoes
being held at present as 31. Twenty-
two carry American cotton,.
The statement particularly cites the
case of the steamer Joseph W. Fordney,
as follows: :-
The steamer Joseph W. Fordney,
with a cargo of foodstuffs consigned
to E. Klingener . at Malmo (Sweden)
was brought into Kirkwall on April 8.
She had been sighted by-his majesty's
ships about 10 miles-from the. Nor
wegian coast and had thereupon en
deavored, with the evident desire to
evade seawh, to escape rapidlv "into
Norwegian territorial waters, but with
out success. !
On the vessel's arrival in Krrkwall
inquiries were at once addressed to
his majesty's minister at Stockholm
with regard to the consignee of the
cargo, and a repy was received to the
effect that no persom of that name
could be identified" at Malmo, though
there was a person of that name who
resided at Gothenburg and was man
psrer of the Gothenburg branch of
Hugo Hartvig, and who had aaid that
the consignments addressed to him on
board the Joseph W. Fordney were
Intended for storage in Malmo.
The suspicious conduct of the ves
sel in endeavoring to elude his majes
ty's patrols and the known connection
of the consignee of her cargo have
tended to confirm other evidence
which has come to the knowledge of
his majesty's government that the
foodstuffs were. - in reality, destined
for Germany. It was accordingly - de
cided that the cargo must be placed
in the prise court and the vessel is iat
present discharging at Portishead
(Kn gland), on the completion of which
operation she will be released, i . f
His majesty's government feel sat
isfied that in the circumstances of this
case undue interference with Ameri
can interests cannot ; be with reason
imputed to them. - t
The United States 5 government lis
aware that since the enforcement Of
the blockade his majesty's government
have acted as regards shipments of
American cotton in - accordance with
the provisions of an arrangement ar
rived at in -collaboration with repre
sentatives of the American cotton in
terests. " i
His majesty's government consider
that the abnormal increase in supplies
imported ' by - neutral . countries, aloae
justifies their assumption as to tfee
ultimate destination of many items in
cargoes consigned to one or the other
of the countries in question in the ves
sels which they, have' detained; but
they would call attention 4o the fact
that it is only when they have believed
themselves to be in possession of con
clusive evidence of tne enemy destina
tion of a cargo that they have seized
such a earsro. and that American inter
ests, as for instance, - in the - case of
cotton, have received especially sym
pathetic consideration: r
Consolidation Plans
Are Almost Eeady
Plans for the consolidation of the
First and Third United Presbyterian
churches have practically been com
pleted, and the congregation of the
latter church will vete on . the propcsi
tion tonight. The question of consoli
dation was unanimously agreed to by
the First church congregation, meeting
last night.
For purposes of simplifying the con
solidation. Rev. F. D. Flndley, pastor
of the First United church, presented
his resignation, which was' accepted.
He was immediately tendered the min
istership of the consolidated church,
and will probably accept. .Since the
resignation of Rev. W. A. Spalding of
the Third church because of failing
health, the pulpit has been vacant.
If the consolidation plans are rati
fied tonight, the -organized church will
meet in the Third r church building.
Thirty-seventh street and Hawthorne
avenue, although the church will be
known as the First United States Pres
byterian. The respective boards will
serve co-jointly until the next election.
The property of the First church is
to be transferred to the Third church
trustees.

War Insurance Is
Mohonk Proposal
Former Governor Baldwin of Connecti
cut Would Put the "bosses on Capi
tal, Thus Making to Peace.
Lake Mohonk, N. T., May 21. U.
P.) The best preventive. of war is the
insuring of a nation against financial
losses caused by war, in the opinion
of former Governor Simeon-Baldwin
of Connecticut. ,H expressed this view
in an address today before the Lake
Mohonk peace conference.
"Insuring nations against pecuniary
losses caused by wars," said Baldwin,
"'tends to discourage war because the
capitalist granting the Insurance will
work for peace in the interest of their
bank accounts.
"A soft answer in diplomatic ex
changes is a better preventive than a
rough threat." x
The former governor cited the case
when Secretary of State John Hay
courteously reminded Germany of the
'Monroe doctrine when tne country con
templated the acquisition of an island
off the coast of Venezuela, causing
Germany to desist.
