Special Meeting Of
City Council Tonight

A special meeting of the city council
will be held toni"ht to consider a num-
Der Of propositions that have come up
since the last regular session and need
immediate action before the next ses-
sion. One of the most important topics
to be considered is the Fairgrounds
road improvement and the matter will
probably he thrashed out tonight with
most of the interested property own
ers present
The question of whether or not the
city viii purchase a paving plant will
probably be brought up also. In addi-
tiOn TO the Fairgrounds road the prop
erty owners of South Commercial street
have petitioned for a cheap hard sur
face pavement to be laid on top of the
rock and gravel base which is now in
place and it is probable tn 1t a number
Of other streets would be improved if
the city owned its own plant.

Socialist Party Must
Re-Organize to Place
Candidates In Field

The socialist party of the state must
reorganize TO place list of candidates
on the ballot for the next election ac-
cording to an opinion handed down by
Attorney General Brown in response to
an inquiry from Secretary of State o.
colt. Amy political party, under the
state law, must poll vote of not less
than five per cent of the total vote
cast for congressman in the district. At
the last election the socialist party
cast more thnA five per cent for con
gresham in the first district, in the
second district they had no candidate
and in the third district poled less
than five per cent of the total vote for
congress.
This would prohibit the party from
putting candidates in the field except
as a new party. The attorney general
SAYS the socialists may re.organize and
as new political party may nominate
candidates by circulating pteitions
which shall contain the required per
cent Of signers.

AMERICAN WOMAN DEAD
By Charles +. Stewart.
.United Press staff eOrrespondent.

Omitted Press staff correspondent,)
London, Mar. 27-At least one AM
eriean apparently perished when thu
channel steamer Sussex was damaged by
an explosion. The United States en-
bassy announced today that careful
check of survivors showed Miss Cal
hope Anstasia Fennell, of New York,
missing. The Baldwin family of Philr
delphia, is safe at Boulogne. Twelve
bodies of passengers and sailors have
been recovered. Seventy persons are
still missing. Both the United States
embassy and the British admiralty are
continuing their investigation. No state
ment has been made as yet by the Bri
tish naval authorities, although the
French admiralty is positive that the
Sussex was torpedoed. A majority of
the survivors are confident that the ex.
plosiOn was caused by a submarine at
tack. London papers are in accord that
the Sussex was torpedoed, and are spec
ulating as to the action of the United
States.
The Chronicle said; "ObWously no
more direct challenge was ever handed
another nation than Germany has
launched toward the United States.
Whether the United States picks it up
or let's it lie, all belligerents will know
with a clearness hitherto lacking, Just
where the greatest neutral stands.
Duplication of survivors lists made il
probable today that the toll of life lost
might be more than 100. George Crock
cr is the only American survivor at
Dover reported in a serious condition.
The others suffered from shock.
