The tales of 125 cities, wero poured into the willing ears -of the naval board charged with the job of picking a site for the gov ernment's $11,000,000 armor plate plant today. The board, headed by Secretary Dan iels, consists of Assistant Secretary Rooseveir, Admiral Benson and Rear Admiral Strauss. Beginning at 9:30 o'clock they heard one delegation after another on the merits of their respective communities Later they will read a great stack of briefs, brought or sent from various cities. Competing with the free sites offer ed by most cities seeking the plant, are many private owners of land who wish to sell. The cities extend all the way from Xew England to Texas. In land cities argue their safety from out side attack in case of war and sea board cities urge their accessibility to the ship building concerns.

Testing Primary Law In Sureme Court An application for a writ of manda mus to compel the secretary of state of place the name of B. E. Coovert on the official ballot as the republican candidate for senator from the Four teenth senatorial district, composed of Multnomah, Clackamas and Columbia counties, to succeed Senator George AI McBride, resigned, was argued before the supreme court this morning. Attorney Charles A. Johns, of Port land, appeared in behalf of the petition' er. Mr. Johns said to a Capital Jour' nal representative thnt one of the prime purposes of the action is to determine the construction of tne statute govern' ing the Oregon primary law. It is his contention that the intention of the law is to give a political party the right to make nominations, and that if the law does not so provide, the fault should be remedied by the legislature Attorney General Brown has given an opinion to the secretary of state in this ease, which opinion Btates that party committeemen cannot under the law nominate a candidate and get his name on the ballot, except in case of death of another candiuate or removal from the district, neither of' which conditions ex ist in the case of Senator 'McBride. Awaiting Advices As To Japan's Course Washington, Sept. 13. Despite the as surances received yesterday from the Japanese foreign minister, the state de partment is awaiting further advices from the American diplomats at Tokio and Pekin before arriving at a con clusion as to whether Japan 's demands on China infringe on the sovereignty of that country and upon American rights there. The progress of the negotiations be tween Japan and China over the de mands will be carefully watched, of ficials said toduy. The former vagueness regarding the demand that Japun be given police rights in South Manchuria and eastern Mongolia has been favorably cleared up by the statement of the Japanese foreign office, it was said. The demaud being only that Japanese police be sta tioned in towns where there are large Japanese settlements, the fear of domi nant Japanese control of that territory has been removed. Government Wants Sam for Selling Opium Government authorities have taken a hand in the prosecution of the China man, "Sam," who was fined in city court lust week for selling opium and later arrested by the state on the same charge. Revenue Officer Littell arrived from Portland lust night, and immediately made a search of the premises ou Fer ry street occupied by the Chinaman, finding a considerable amount of opium in various forms. Some of tho stuff was discovered in small packages in side the Chinaman's socit. The state case has Wen set for hear ing in Justice Webster's court tomor row morning at 10 o'clock. Whether the government will be required to a wait the outcome of this trial, or whetn er the prisoner will be turned over to bo taken to Portland at once, has not been determined. ENGINE OF STOLEN AUTOMOBILE WAS SAVED Practically all that was saved from the automobile owned by Roscoe i Langley of Silverton, , which nas found recently at the bottom of the Canyon Creek canyon, was the engine. i: . tji..:j i t. m. .. bodv of the car was so badly wrecked as o result of its flight down the can yon that it is not worth repairing. The automobile was of the Ford manufac ture and was stolen by five convicts who escaped from the state penitentiary early in August. I'pon reaching a point about six miles south of Canyon ville, the convicts shunted the ear off the grade. When found it was turned bottom side up, and was partially cov ered over with brush.
