Washington. June K. -"(U. P.)
! While President Wilson is .waiting the
KJerman reply to bin rejoinder, the state
'department will complete the prepara
tion of data for the proposed note to
:th atjies protesting aalnat interfer
ence with neutral commerce through
tine British brder-ln-counell.
- Acttnf Counselor Anderson has been
; inquiring; into the situation for weeks,
i His records show that, not only have
'American cargoes been detained, al
though destined for neutral ports, but
'that, when released, the owners have
(Suffered losses for which there is no
;hanes (compensation.
i It is not likely that the note to the
Rallies will be finished until after Ger
'many's next communication Is received
and the submarine question adjusted.
i As it Is now admitted, however, that
kdata for the protest to the allies is be--iug
complied, officials believe this is
.; an Indication that the German situa
tion is greatly improved, making it
possible to ! give attention to the other
, side of the problem affecting Amer
ican commerce.
; ' Berlin Sentiment Changing,
- Advises from Berlin state there has
"' been -a radical change of sentiment
toward the United States. The only
5 representative faetion not quoted as in
favor of making such ; concessions as
possible to Uh American demands is a
' smalt : group surrounding- - Grand Ad
miral von Tirpitz, father of the sub-
marine warfare plan, v
Officials continue to - believe that
'within a few weeks a .general peace
movement will be under way. Where
-this movement will come from no one
professes to know,- but there are de
clared to be indications tnat peace
suggestions are no longer falling on ,
Germany is believed to be staggered
by her enormous casualties despite
successes which have been gained. The
' .allies are having trouble keeping their
armies supplied with sufficient mu
nitions to i stem the German attack.
With these' two . influences working
-upon the warring nations, it is be
lieved suggestions for a cessation of
; hostilities might be entertained,
? Former Secretary Bryan is now at
tOld Point Comfort taking a rest. The
- president has in nq way replied to
Bryan's statement defending his with
drawal from the cabinet.

. Tt is also stated that no formal re
; ply will be; made, but President Wilson
: is scheduled to make several speeches
wlthin the next fortnight, when it is
,'Jlkely that be will defend his, position
.taken with respect to Germany. .
I Discussion as to who will be named
"4aa Successor to Bryan had-diminished
,today, because it is now believed Rob
ert Lansing, secretary ad Interim, will
vbe permanently appointed to the post.
-V Colonel E. M. House, who has re
turned from Europe after visiting the
capitals of the warring: nations, has
no appointment with President Wil
son, it was stated today.; An appoint
ment is unnecessary, however. Colo

White House Immediately upon : ar
riving here from New York,, where he
will be President Wilson's guest.

MORMON LEADERS IN
CONFERENCE WITH
CHURCHMEN IN CITY
President Smith to Leave for
Salt Lake Today; Local
Sugar Plant Rumor,
President Joseph Smith of the Mor
mon church ; and C. W. Nibley, presid
ing bishop, and their party, who have
been in Portland to attend the dedica-
of Mormon church here, will
leave tonight aboard their private car
for. their home at Salt Lake. They
have been in Hawaii attending to the
church affairs and sugar-cane proper
ties there.
They attended a conference of church
officials here today, which included
the Rev. Mr. Ballard, president of the
Northwest . church mission, and after
ward raet with local business men.
Despite Nibiey's denials, there is a
persistent rumor that a proposition of
establishing a sugar refining plant In
or near Portland was scheduled for dis
cussion here today.
That the establishment of such a re
finery would be considered was admit
ted by Nibley, who stated that "capital
oould easily: be found if assurances
were made by, responsible people that
between 5000 and 6000 acres would be
planted to sugar beets." '
"I have told people at Medford that."
he said, "and I personally would go
into a proposition-of -that sort: An acre
ought to produce between 18 and 14
tons of beets. A plant would cost not
less than 1500,000.
"The church owns sugar-cane planta
tions in Hawaii, but to manufacture-it
and beet sugar would requuire differ-,
ent equipment Experts are now work
ing wi a scheme which, if successful,
will allow t"e use of the same equip
ment for both 'cane and beet product.
Nibley is heavily interested in the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company, and the
Amalgamated.

THAT. ANCIENT LAND
QUALIFIED TO VOTE
IN SCHOOL ELECTION
Voters Must Be at Least 2 1
Years Old, . Says I School
.Clerk R. H. Thomas,
Who is entitled to voto at the
school election?"
'r cis - question' nas ..: been;,'- asked 5 a
dozen or more timegof School Clerk K.
H: Thomas today. -;
His reply has been that ionly citi
sens, over the age. of 21 years, whose
names appear as taxpayers on the last
assessment roll are eligible to vote.
One person called up this morning
and explained that he was paying for
property on the installment plan. He
said he had but one more payment to
make and he was paying the taxes on
the property, but on the assessment
roll the property still remains in the
name of the first owner. :
Mr. Thomas advised him that he
could not vote. The man . in whose
name the property is listed on the
tax roll is the one who is entitled to
vote, , according to the provisions of
the law.
Mr. Thomas is today preparing in
structions to be sent to the judges and
Clerks of the election, which will be
held next Saturday. As the registra
tion books do not show who are tax
payers, the judges are instructed to
ask each person If their name is on
the tax roll. If the judge is in doubt
the voter may be reauiredto make an
affidavit as to his or her Qualifica
tions. ..
This . provision applies to both men
and women. Only such women whose
names appear on the tax roll can vote.
As in most cases property is held in
the name . of the husband, it is Dointed
out that many wives will be shut out
Irom- voting.
Under a new law there will be only
one juage and two clerks On aach
school election board, so Mr. Thomas
is instructing them that no member
of a board will be. permitted to
the polls for meals. Arrangements must
d made to have meals served at the
polls. The polls . will be open from
12 noon to 8 p. m. V . .-
Persons who own stock or shares
in a, corporation -or partnership which
has property listed in its name on the
xax roils are eligible to vote.

, WITH COUNTy BOARD
Roadmaster. Yeon Has Not
Yet Finished Tabulating
50 Odd Bids Submitted. "'
FEATURES ARE DISCUSSED
Tabulation as Figured Prom Their
Own Standpoint Given by Concrete
Type;. Promoters.
Paving companies were well ''repre
sented at today's session of the board
of county commissioners, but nothing
was said or done relative to the bid
ding on the county highways, bids for
Which were opened last Wednesday. '
Roadmaster Yeon has not yet com
pleted all the details of tabulating the
450 odd bids submitted and was not
quite ready to make his report to the
commissioners. He may be able later
in the day to informally submit his
findings to the board of discussion.
A noticeable feature of the bidding
is in connection with the St Helens
road, which is divided into 13 sections.
The only types of pavement bid on for
alt-sections were bitulithic on a con
crete base, " wood blocks, : stone and
brick. - " -
Concrete Bids Z,ower.
Only on . two sections was there a
bid for concrete. On one section there
was a bid on hassam..
On the Columbia highway partial
figures Indicate that the bids on con
crete run lower than those on bitu
lithic. On the other roads there is not
a marked: difference. On the whole
the concrete bids are higher than was
anticipated. On the Columbia High
way the price on concrete No. 1, the
Wayne county, Michigan, specification,
is approximately $5000 less than that
of bitulithic On concrete No. 2, Pierce
county, Washington, mixture, the price
is approximately 880,000 less than bit
ulithic. - The difference in the con
crete prices; is due to the fact that No.
1 is richer in cement than No. 2, the
proportions being one part cement to
4 'i parts of sand and gravel in No. 1,
and one part cement "to 5 parts ag
gregate in No. 2. -

' NOTE The bid for patented bitullthie on the entire system of roads was approximately

It is not known how it will compare
with: the official tigures compiled by
the roadmaster's office. Several fac
tors are to be taken .into consideration,
such as armored expansion joints and
crushed stone or gravel in the mixture.
In reference to the note oik the bid
