MANY CITIES AFIER
, ARMORJPLATE PLANT
Board Meets to Select Site
and 125 Locations Pre
sent Their Claims
Washington, Sept. 13. 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.
Among tho advocates present were:
Senator Underwood and Representa
tives Bennett and Dent for Birming
ham, Tuscaloosa and Gaston, Ala.; Sen
ator James and Representative Bark
ley for Ashland, Wickliffe, Pailncah,
Middlesboro and Fort Thomas, Ken
tucky. 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. After ditching
the ear it is thought the men boarded
a passing freight train and left the
country. Roseburg Review.

of American Troops
By Carl D. Groat
(United Press staff correspondent)
New London, Conn., Sept. 13 The
American and Mexican commissioners
nere touay uug more oeepiy man Here
tofore into tho direct problem of the
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico.
General Bliss, assistant United States
army chief of staff, was to arrive here
today, primed with facts as to border
conditions and recommendations for
future border patrol. He is understood

mendation that General Pershing's

and that the patrol be reduced as much
as possible to insure safety.
Close observers of the- conferences
believe the Mexicans have carefully
laid the ground work, not alouo for
withdrawal of tho American expedition
but likewise for an American loan.
