The cam mission's attention, was
called by Building Inspector H. E.
Plummer to the fire hazard created
by. dilapidated docks ; on the f rant be
tween East Yamhill and Taylor streets.
Investigation by the dock engineer,
building Inspector and fire department
waa ordered. The property is used
by the Willamette & Columbia River
Towing ,!Co.f it was said. The towing
company is also said to have blocked
the foot of East Taylor street, use of
which was granted the Acme Fuel com
pany, and the city attorney recom
mended he passage by the commission
of an ordinance making it necessary
to . secure a permit before using any
street end. -
' An application of Harry Howard for
lease of the foot of FlandeVs street for

handled 4170 tons of inbound and out

iThe city attorney advised the com
mission that it could legally give local
dealers a 6 per cent advantage on or

law requires contracts let through ad

sponsible bidder. The opinion will be
transmitted to the United Metal

WILSON'S CASE
IS JUSTIFIED IN
- THE REJOINDER
(Continued Front Page One.)
joinder, it was presented to Bryan to
read as a matter of courtesy. The
president ordered that this be done, as
It was understood Bryan's resignation
would not become ; effective until the
note had been started to Berlin. Upon
the question of Germany observing
American - rights under international
law the president "stood pat."
No alternative is offered in the re
joinder.. It furnishes the facts con
cerning the Lusitanla, It Is under
stood. " - The German contentions that
the Ltualtania was armed and. carrying
munitions and reservists are disputed,
but It is , authoritatively stated that
the note is of such nature that it does
not antagonize Germany. -. '
The . eyes - of' the nation turned
anxiously toward Berlin today.
Officials declare that even defiance
by the Imperial government-- will not
mean actual, hostilities, but there' Is
not a single Individual knowing the
"Inside" of Aha situation who believes
that diplomatic : relations wltb Ger
many can be broken off calmly. The
recall of Ambassador v Gerard from
Germany -would entail steps necessary
to maintain the position of the United
States, . It is agreed. , And that the
steps, would be of such nature as to
call for action by - Germany is ad
mitted. r . i t ' i ;
. President " "Wilson" and his ' advisors
are hopeful that Berlin will adopt a
conciliatory attitude. Germany . has
argued that her disregard of Interna
tional law has been, forced, by "Illegal
activities" of her enemies.;
Action, Wot Explanation. SeslredJ
But the United States is asking that
Germany respect American rights, not
for an explanation of why. these rights
have been violated. -'.- s.:-v 'J Y .
Some fear was expressed in official
circles today : that the resignation, of
William J. Bryan as secretary of state
will be misunderstood in Berlin. The
withdrawal of the premier because of
his disagreement with the president as
to the German note is certain to
stiffen the militarists of Germany, .it
Is believed.. Some officials suggested,
however, that the resignation might
result in causing them to take a con
ciliatory view of the case in the hope
that they might be able to take ad
vantage of a later change of American
policy as a result of Bryan's threat
ened peace campaign. "
A reply to the president's note is not
expected from; Germany for at least 10
days. Meyer Gerhard, personal emis
sary of Ambassador ven Bernstorff, Is
due in Berlin lajer, this week. iHe Is
expected to- inform the foreign office
in detail of the position of this coun
try and of the fact-that public senti
ment Is strongly back of President
Wflson.
Will Hot Harry Germany.
The president will take no action to
hurry a reply: from the Berlin govern
ment. Ample time will be given for
Gerhard to fulfill his mission, which
was undertaken after Ambassador von
Bernstorff enlisted the aid of the
state department in obtaining assur
ances from the allied powers that Ger
hard would be permitted to Teach Ber
lin without being1 molested.
While awaiting the German reply.
President Wilson will consider a mem
orandum dealing with British inter
ference with ; American trade. Bryan
favored action demanding that the
allies protect neutral rights as ener
getic as that taken against Germany.
The president also favored such action,
but not until after the German diffi
culties had been solved. Pressure is
now being brought to bear upon the
president to .'-act immediately. Con
gressman Webb, of North Carolina,
and other southerners -who have seen
him lately, believe a note will be
forwarded to England within a fort
night. It will refuse to accept the British
order-in-counicil and - will not recog
r.iise the allies' undefined blockade of
Germany. Op the Interference of com
merce between neutral countries, the
i-.ote will take a most positive stand.
WAR SUMMARY
BY J. W. T. MASON
Former European Manager of
. the United Press. ,
New York, June 10. (U. P. The
Garderi' of Eden is rapidly passing
into . possession of the British. 'The
capture- of Amara means the Anglo
Indian expedition cdtnmlsaioned. to
seize the .Turkish headlands on the
Persian gulf has made astonishing
progress beyond the original plans.
With inferior numbers, the Indians
months ago occupied Kurna at the
Junction of the Tigris and uphratea
rivers. Kurna is the southern door
way to the legendary Garden of Eden.
One hundred miles of territory be
tween Kurna and the Persian gulf
alone has been the war's chief 'prise,
Amara is 60 miles farther and is the
most- important settlement on the Ti
gris side. It ia 175 miles below Bag
dad. .
Whether the expedition can reach
Bagdad Is questionable. From the suc
cess of the Eden campaign it would
be excellent strategy for England to
send more men to take Bagdad. The
Turks are demoralized in that region.
Over 1000 surrendered and 2000 fled
before a smaller force at Amara.
The Eden fighting demonstrates that
the Turks are formidable alone when
officered by Germans. It is probable
that if, despite the German report, the
morale of the Turks weakens, a de
moralized retreat ijpon Constantinople
will occur.

Chicago. I1L, June 10. (I. 6.)
Woman's assumption of her right to
motherhood is the step that will follow
when she has obtained - her political
rights. Professor W; I. Thomas of
the University, of Chicago, told 'A the
delegates ty the i National t American
Woman's ' Suf f rage association - -convention.
; He was the only man oa the
program at the banquet, which yes
terday closed the first mid-year con
ference 6f the association. His in
surgent remarks were received with
gasps, and leading suffragettes took
issue with him. .
A few of his declarations, which
aroused the drowsy, tired delegates,
were: : -
"Any girl, mentally mature, has a
right to motherhood.
"Any child, by the act of birth, is
legitimate.
"Every woman has the right to limit
the number of her children, and the
right to knowledge of how to restrict
the size of her family.
"What is needed in society . is more
of sexuality in the broad sense of
the word. .The world" has grown no
better since the so-called days of
savagery. We have our doctrines of
brotherly love, Individualism, theracy
and our legal system, war and sweat
ing. The American Indian had all
our civic "virtues and few of , our
vices. Our science ?.la effective, our
morality Is not. Woman's assertions
of her right to motherhood is a rev
elation that Is coming and no one can
stop it." . -3 )'

Following is the text of the note:
"Foreign Office, Berlin, June 7, 1915.
"The undersigned has he honor to
make the following reply to the- note
of his excellency, James W. Gerard,
ambassador from the United, States,
dated April SO, 1915:
"Foreign -of fice Io. 8291. on -the
subject of sinking of the William P.
Frye by the German auxiliary cruiser
Prlns Eitel Freldrich.
."Germany cannot admit that, as the
United States assumes, the destruc
tion of the Frye constitutes a viola
tion" of the treaties between Prussia
and the United States and now appli
cable to the relations between the
German-empire and the -United States,
or of American rights derived there
from. For these treaties did not have
the Intention of depriving one of the
contracting parties engaged in war the
right of stopping the supply of contra
band to his enemy when he recog
nizes such supply as detrimental to
military interests. On the contrary,
Article 13 of the Prussian-American
treaty of July 11, 1799, expressly re
serves to the party at war the right to
stop the carrying of contraband and de
tain contraband.
Destruction Is justified.
"It follows, thent that, if this cannot
be , accomplished in any other way,
stopping may in extreme case be. ef
fected' by destruction of contraband
and the ship carrying it. As a matter
of course, the obligation of the party

be the manner of stopplngHhe supply.
"According .to the general principles
of international law, - exercise of right
of control over trade in contraband is
subject to decision of prize courts,
even though auclt righC - may, be re
stricted by treaties.;;-;'.- i.'
"At the beginning of the present war

established by law" prise jurisdiction

tion, . for the ; Prussian-American
treaties mentioned contain no stipula

tion provided by article U of the
treaty js to .be fixed. ? r .
Prize Conn Indispensable.
Germany, therefore, complies witbj icah Interested partiea to settle their
Its treaty obligations to the full ex-
stent when the prize courts, instituted
in- a coo r a witn international law, pro
ceed in pursuance of the treaty stipu
lations and thus award the American
Interests equitable indemnity. There
would, therefore, be no foundation for
the claim of the United States unless
the prize courts should not grant .In
demnity in accord with the treaty. In
' ' a
such event however, Oermany would
not hesitate ! to arrange equitable in
demnity - notwithstanding. For the
rest, price court proceedings for the
Frye are indispensable, apart from the
American claims, for the reason that
other claims of neutral and enemy in
terested parties are to be , considered
in the matter, c; ' ' .,' t,

amount of fndemnl t y should be paid,
provided the-application is received.
"Since the decision of the prize cout
must be, first awaited before any posi
tion is taken by the .German rgovern-
ment, the simplest way for the Araer
claims would be to enter them In com
petent records in accord with the pro
vision of the German code of -prize
