A petition seeking (,he creation of a second Justice district In "endlcton has been filed with the county court and a second petition unking that the application for the creation of the district be denied is about to be f led. it developed yesterday. Packers of the move to form a sec ond district aver that the present sys tem Is not sufficient to take care of the needs of the community stid that the creation of a district to 1)e known "the"West Pendlvton Justice district would insure a Justice ready to be called upon at nil times. Opposers of the formation of the new district de clare the district 1:1 too small as It Is and that the remuneration Is insuffi cient to give one Justice even a moder ate livelihood and that they "see no good reason for the division of the dis trict." Tho petition seeking the creation of the new district declares there was formerly two districts In Pcmljetoii for Justice of Peace and that the city la now much hirger than at that f me and Is large enough to support two Jtislces. "We deem it to the best In terests of the community at the pres ent time," says the petition, "that the district known as the 'Pendleton Dis trict' be divided Into what shall be known as the 'Pendleton District and . . .... . ,... , ,, (W. lno... "e , r""'r" ."";, ' petitioners would cause ,ne uiv.-.oi, bo made "by creating a Justice district i to be known, ns'the Pendleton district lo comprise nil' the territory now In' the district lying eiurt of Main street. The West Pendleton district would be formed from tho territory lying east of Main street. The petition Is sign ed by a number of business men, far mers, attorneys and others. The petition against tho creation of a second district now ibeing" circulat ed among residents of tho city, de clares that the district is not large enough to support two Justices of the Peace and in realty la not even large enough to support one. It states that If the district Is created the Justices will he forced to devote more, time than ever outside their offices In order to make a livelihood. It would tend to dis courage applicants for the office, be cause of the lack of eufflcienf remu neration and will result In the acquir ing of Inefficient men for the place. Tho petition declares thnt, It hus been argued that the Justices be placed on a flat salary and the fees of their of fices be turned over to the county but It a second district were created It would make his plan Impossible. Ex perience In the affairs of the office lends towards the lessening of mis takes and promotion of the Interests of the attorneys and litigants and that the creation of a second district would lessen tlie experience of the men hold ing the offlco tho petition declares. Closing, the petitioners state: "We see no good reason for the division of the district and respectfully petition the court that the application for a new district l)e denied. " The petition is signed by a number of farmers, busi ness men, attorneys and others. STATUS OF SHIP BOARD S UP TO DAUGHERTY WASHINGTON, March 9.-MA. P.)

BONAR LAW REVEALS MEANS REQUIRED TO Plan Seizure of 50 Per Cent of Value Of German Export; May Occupy More Territory. LONDON, March . (Ed L. Keen. I'. P. ' 8taff Correspondent) The ' means which the allies will take to ex tract the required reparations from Germany were revealed today by An drew ISonar I-a government leader in the commons. Mr. I'.or.nar Law an nounced that a hill wiil -be Introduced ishortly providing lor. tne i seizure pi 50 per cent of the Value of German exports. He stated an immediate pas sage of the bill will be urged, since trade with Germany is suspended for the time being. With the first anger against the dilatoory tactics of th5 German delegation subsideing. the In sistent question has ariaon how the allied occupation of additional terri tory is to compel the payment of Ger man indemnity. It is generally be lieved the proposed customs iax will yield only a comparatively small am ount of money. It is pointed out that while the Ithine district is suffi ciently well guarded to prevent cus toms running there is no guard at the German seaports. The necessity of seizing these ports was urged upon some government officials. . Military and naval activity will be expensive, possibly consuming a great share of the money gained through customs. From French sources it Is learned that an even more extensive invasion of Germany is urged in hope that Germany at least will agree to pay something like the great sum de manded by the allies.
