TALK OF PROPOSED PLAN to Far as Known, All Those Xamed . for Important Duty, With One Exception, Will Serve. Sentiment In favor of a commission form of city government Is so strong among members of the newly-ap pointed charter commission that it does not appear at all unlikely that some such plan will be recommended for Portland by the new charter board. The opinion Is almost uni versal that the present municipal sys tem of administration Is out of date and should be abolished as quickly as possible, because of its unwieldy, cum bersome machinery and numerous boards with special functions. At this time It looks as though the most sweeping change that will be made by the charter commission Is In the system of the city government. And it seems altogether probable that the recommendation will take some thing of the form of a commission plan, such as governs In Des Moines, la., or Galveston, Tex. Neither of these precise schemes may be adopted, as It appears to some of the members of the commission that It may be wise to devise a new system, along those lines, but particularly to suit the spe cial requirements of Portland. Now Too Many Boards. Several members of the charter com mission, which was named by Mayor Lane and Councllmen Baker and Cel lars Wednesday afternoon, yesterday expressed themselves as favoring a change to the commission system. The opinions expressed clearly Indicate a strong sentiment against continuing with a city council, an executive board and all of the various boards and com mittees, with their detailed work and cumbersome machinery. "Portland's form of government does not get the right results," Is the gen eral sentiment. Some members of the charter com mission are out of the city and their views could not be obtained. Others felt disinclined to enter now into a dis cussion of the proposed amendments, but several expressed themselves out right as favoring a commission. So far as could be learned yesterday. Robert Livingstone is the only one ap pointed on the charter board who can not serve. He is to be absent from the city, and his place will be filled later. Mayor Lane Is awaiting replies from his communications to the appointees, and when these are all received, he will call a meeting of the members, at which organization will be perfected. Members Give Opinions. Following are the expressions of the various members of the charter com mission: Frederick V. Holman I will accept the appointment, and will serve on the com mission, but the matter Is too Important to discuss without careful Investigation. Beyond saying that the charter is cum bersome, and that It has proved somewhat unsatisfactory, end needs some changes, I have nothing to say at this time. T. B. Wilcox I will serve on the com mission, but at this time there Is nothing I care to say as touching proposed changes or the talked-of change in the form of city goTernment. C. M. Rynerson I favor a change In the form of city government, either the Des Moines plan, or something similar; there may be some modifications that would be well to incorporate . Into It. At any rate, it looks as though there must be some change from the present system, as It Is unsatisfactory. F. 1 Beach So far as I have been able to learn, the Des Moines plan of a com mission form of city government works satisfactorily. AH the information I have been able to secure tends to show the commission plan to be a good one. It ap pears that way. Of course. It Is a mat ter yet to be fully Investigated. As to present defects of the city charter, I have not gone very fully Into that, but there Is one very bad feature I know of. I refer to -the manner of street Improve ments; but the recent Supreme Court rul ing In the bond Issues greatly remedies the defect. As Business Corporation. H. H. Newhall I am not at all a poli tician, and do not believe in so many office-holders as we have. I have long be lieved that. If first-class superintendents can be selected for the city departments; If the municipal government could be run as a business corporation, with some plan of directors. It would prove vastly supe rior to our present form. If It is shown to me that the Des Moines plan is a good one: that it simplifies and betters city government, then I am very strongly in favor of it. I think the charter has a number of defects; that It is In need of considerable alteration. I believe the police and fire departments should be more directly under the control of the Mayor, and that the Council and Execu tive Board should be merged, as under the commission plan. Our street improve ment system, also, should be changed, and there, are other sections of the char ter that wlU come in for consideration. Henry E. McGinn Just at this time, I hardly am prepared to make a state ment as to my Ideas of the present city charter, its defects and other phases of the subject, but It seems to me It Is a little cumbersome. Tne charter. how ever, has served Its purpose, but It seems to me the advanced thought of the day should give us a better charter. As to a change In the form of city government. It Is a matter for deep study,and I am not ready to say anything about that point. City Attorney Kavanaugh I have not examined into the merits of the Des Moines plan of city government, and am unprepared to say. at this time, whether or not I favor It. Mr. Selling; Will Serve. Senator-elect Ben Selling I had no idea whatever I was to be named as one of the charter commission. The first I knew of It was when I read of It In The Orego nlan this morning. I cannot see why I was appointed. I will serve, as I regard It as a duty. However, not being familiar with municipal government afjairs, I must decline at this time to make any statement as to the proposed new form of city government or alleged defects In the present city charter. Dr. C. H. Chapman While I do not wish at this time to make the positive statement that I will advocate a change from the present system of government to the Pes Moines plan. I will say that I see much merit in the commission system. I am a great be liever in the direct control of public matters by the people, and if the coun cil form of administration would work; If we could get a council to carry out SWEEPING CHANG the will of the people, I would prefer that plan. But every city In the coun ty has failed to get good results from the council plan. On the other hand, wherever the commission plan has been adopted, it has worked very well and there is no complaint. It looks very much to me at this time that we are practically driven to a change in our city form of government, and that the commission plan might well be adopted. I consider the two worst features of the present charter Its contradictory sections and the fact that it holds no one responsible. Near ly every department of the city, when attempting to accomplish anything un der its provisions, has been involved in litigation. Sigel Grutxe I have had very little prac tical information as to the workings of the Des Moines plan of municipal govern ment. While I think our own system Is rather unwieldy and needs alterations to bring about better results, I hardly favor, at this time, a too sweeping change. There is such a thing as Jumping from one ex treme to another, and thus making mat- ! ) - - 1 : - i - 4 1 t -- ' 1 i y .ii Y. Rrirnon, Member of New Charter .Commission ters worse. What may wofk well In one city, may fail in another. It seems that there is a need for some changes, and these can be discussed when the commis sion gets together and the Information necessary to careful action is at hand. TWO PRICES FOB HJUHGOT ITXIOX RATE 25 CEXTS, SOME SHOPS CHARGE 35. About 200 Union Shops in Portland and Ten Will Cling to Higher Rate. The price one pays for a haircut In Port land Is purely a personal matter. You may pay 25 cents or you may contribute 33 cents to the man with the scissors and have the work done In a union shop In both Instances. This is the situation fol lowing an adjustment of barbershop prices by representatives of the Boss Barbers" Association and the Journeymen Barbers last Monday night. Because of a misunderstanding of the action that was taken. It was first an nounced that the former price of 25 cents for hair cutting had been restored In all of the union shops of the city. This was not the case, the meeting of boss barbers and Journeymen having adopted a reso lution establishing 25 cents as the mini mum price to be charged in union shops for this service. It was optional with union shops whether or not they reduced the charge for hair cutting from 3a to 2o cents. "By adopting the resolution at Monday night's meeting." said T. M. Leabo. secre tary of the barbers' union yesterday, "there was no Intention to give the Im pression that all union shops should cut their prices. The resolution simply gave them that privilege if they felt so dis posed. There are a number of shops that had no intention or reducing prices ana it was not the wish of the barbers' union that they should. It was the purpose of the resolution to allow some union shops to cut the price where for protective busi ness reasons the action was considered necessary in competition with non-union shops In the same locality." Ten of the largest shops in tne city have not reduced prices and had no inten tion of doing so." said S. H. Howard, vice- president of the Boss Barbers' Association and chairman of the executive committee of the same organization, yesterday. "Shortly after the boss barbers formed their organization a little over a year ago. we raised the prices of work, including the charge for hair cutting, which was fixed at 35 cents. We are entirely satisfied with these charges and consider them en tirely reasonable and purpose to maintain them, believing that the service we ren der Is worth It. In view of these facts we feel this explanation Is due us that a customer not acquainted with the facts will not think he Is being Imposed on when he visits our shops and Is charged 35 cents for hair cutting." Mr. Howard said that of over 200 union shops in Portland, ten of the largest would continue to charge the higher prices. They are: O. K. shop. Oregonian barbershop. Rogers' shop in Corbett build ing. Metropolitan1, Oregon Hotel shop, Per kins Hotel shop. Chamber of Commerce shop. S. H. Howard, the Gem, and the Antiseptic. BAIL IS FIXED AT $5000 Authorities Wonder What Disposi tion to Make of Boy Murderer. Officials are at sea in deciding the fate of Jackson Reid. the youthful slayer of George F. DeMars. Whether the lad shall be tried as an ordinary criminal and sub jected to a possible execution, or whether he shall be given over to the leniency of the Juvenile Court has not been defi nitely decided. District Attorney Cameron said last night that the boy would most likely be tried as an ordinary criminal. However, If he should be tried as such and should he be convicted, he could not be executed. Judge Gantenbeln in the Juvenile Court vesterday morning held him In the sum of $5000 to answer to the charge. His rela tives and friends were unable to raise that amount and consequently he Is still con fined In the County Jail. Of course, he talks and has a good line of talk." said District Attorney Cam eron last night, "but he thought of the talk only after he had been arrested. He now has a story of self-defense, which I doubt very much. Indeed. I see very few mitigating circumstances connected with the affair. It looks like a cold-blooded murder to me." 1000 MENS SHIRTS. $1.50 values at 49c apiece. Neat stripe patterns with separate cuffs soft -front. Men's 25c fancy socks at 10c a pair.

WANT SHARE IN REALTY Mrs. Elizabeth Mclntyre and Mrs. Ellen E. Parker Bring Contest That Will Be Decided Mon day by Judge Webster. Judge Webster, of the County Court, is to decide next Monday morning whether the will of Mrs. Bridget Carr, made 12 years before she died in De cember. 1902, is valid. Elizabeth Mc lntyre and Ellen E. Parker, sisters and heirs, brought the case Into court, after the will had been admitted to probate, contending that their mother was not of sound mind when It was made. It is further alleged that Rose A. Marshall and James V. Carr, two of the defend ant heirs, unlawfully and fraudulently overreached their mother, dictating the terms of the will In favor of them selves. Catherine Ellington also ap pears ae one of the defendant heirs. On the witness-stand yesterday morning Mrs. Mclntyre said that six or eight years before her mother died the latter was in the habit of taking articles of clothing from the neigh bors' clotheslines, and claiming them as her own, and that she had to be watched to keep her from wandering away from home. Mrs. Florence Gar rett, who was at that time attending High School, eald that at times Mrs. Carr treated her children, who visited her, with consideration, and at other times drove them away. She said the aged woman was very susceptible to kindness. At the time of her death Mrs. Carr was 68 years old. The will gives James V. Carr, the son. and Mrs. Rose Marshall, one of the daughters, half each of the estate, which consists of the lot at the south east corner of Fifteenth and Everett streets. The two contestants received only $5 each, as did Mrs. Ellington. Mrs. Ellington, however, refuses to at tack the will. In case the will Is declared to be invalid, the contestants ask that Mrs. Elizabeth Mclntyre be appointed admin istratrix. THREE WIVES SEEK DIVORCE Cruelty, Failure to Support and De sertion the Various Charges. Because Carl B.

DUNIWAY GOES TO HEAD STATE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA Native of Oregon, Well Known Throughout State, Is Chosen for Important ' Position in Field of Education. BY ARTHUR A. GREENE, p N OREGON man who has proved himself to the great satisfaction of his many friends In Portland and throughout the state is Dr. C. A. Duniway, president of the Montana State University, who is spending a few days here visiting his mother, Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, and other rela tives. Dr. Duniway has for the past 11 years held an important professor ship at Stanford and was recently chosen for the important post as head of the Montana University. Although his experience has been large he is still a young man of the clean-cut, forceful type who are doing so much to raise the standard of scholarship and use fulness in our institutions of higher learning. Dr. Duniway was born In Albany. In this state, but came to Portland when a child. He attended the Portland High School, graduating In 1885. Dur ing the time he was laying the ground work of his education he worked at the printer's trade principally on his mother's paper "The New Northwest."

Dr. Duniway graduated with the class of '92 with honors. Subsequently he acted as tu tor to the sons of H. C. Frlck, the steel magnate, during which time he trav eled extensively In Europe. i)uring his years at Cornell he practically made his own way by doing newspaper work. He received his doctor's degree at Harvard In 1897 and shortly after ward accepted a chair at Stanford. Some time ago when the authorities of Montana were casting about for a man to place at the head of their uni versity they appealed to President Eliot, of Harvard, and President Jor dnVi. of Stanford, to recommend them a man who combined scholarship, teaching ability and executive capacity. They wanted a young man, full of the enthusiasm which a new state and a yew Institution of learning needs for the work of upbuilding a man who was willing to work hard, demand what he wanted and accomplish re sults with the means placed at his dis posal. The distinguished educators named Joined in indorsing Dr. Duni way and he was called to the place. After looking the field over. Dr. Duniway concluded that the making of a great university up at Missoula was a task Just to his liking and he is now on his way to take up his new work. "With the single exception of Okla homa, the Montana institution Is the youngest of all our state universities. In all departments it has now an en rollment of something like 400 and since It was founded in 1895. has done a good work for the state," said Dr. Duniway yesterday. "I feel, however, that there are great opportunities for Its development and hav- the Circuit Court by M. G. Thorsen against F. O. Burckhardt and H. W. Lemcke.

A shipment of apples which arrived here on the last steamer from San Francisco was seized and destroyed today by Fruit Inspector Dow, as the fruit was infected with codlin moth. r V Dr. C. A. Dnslwar, President Montana State University. ing the loyal co-operation of the State Board of Education and a capable faculty I hope to accomplish much In the way of extending Its scope. There is need of a larger development and the field offers wonderful opportunities for constructive educational work. The people of Mon tana are giving the Institution splendid support and It Is significant of the Inter est they feel in it that Montana, as does also California, pays the president of -Its state university 50 per cent more than It does Its Governor. "Montana ITas become a great agricul tural state through scientific Irrigation and dry farming. Formerly the state de pended almost entirely on its mining and stock-raising interests. It still has them and with the added wealth that agricul ture is now bringing to it, is in a position to do much for the .cause of higher edu cation. "There are a great many things which I hope and believe I shall be able to accom plish as head of the university and If I fall It will not be because of lack of ef fort. I am going to take the position free from political entanglements and other handicaps which often operate against the best Interests of Institutions of the kind. The legend one frequently sees on business offices: 'Enter without knocking,' appeals to me and I am going Into my new position in that way." Dr. and Mrs. Duniway are guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Duniway at 470 Hall street. They expect to leave for their new home, Missoula, where Montana Univer sity Is located, the latter part of - next week. IM3-XirxSVrwl XWWnMJ - - a j i ' I 1 1 . - H. B.

Members of Party Enjoy Camp Life Near Spirit Late Boating in Moonlight. BY ELEANOR M. GARDNER. CAMP CHIPMUNK. Near Mount St. Helens, Aug. 4 (Special.) The Mazamas are enjoying quiet camp life on the bor der of Spirit Lake. The tents are pitched in a crescent, with a space for a bonfire In the center. Japanese lamps are strung from one point of the crescent to the other. The effect is beautiful. Monday a small party visited the Nor way and Sweden mine, five miles east, over a mountain trail. Tuesday a party df 35 made the same trip, also visiting Ellinor and Harmony Falls under the guidance of Dr. D. A. Waters. These side trips are to be made each day to test the endurance of the party prepara tory to the climb, which will probably take place about Saturday of this week. Today a party composed of Messrs. Beneflel. Whittlesey, Anderson, Olson and Larson have gone on a trip to Mount St. Helens, intending to make the climb if possible. They anticipate no difficulty, as several have made the ascent this year and pronounce It a very easy one. Monday night a bonfire was made and under the direction of Dr. Claude Adams a programme was rendered which would have been a credit to the participants had it been given weeks of preparation. Miss McCorkle's recitations, Frank Riley's anecdotes, told In his own Inimitable style, called forth much applause, as did the rendition of a solo or two by Dr. W. A. Cummlng. Several fine singers are In camp and their hearty co-operation made the general song service a delight. This social evening around the bonfire, will be made a feature of camp life, though many prefer boating on the lake and viewing the mountain by moonlight. The only objection to the beautiful camp ing ground and the exquisite beauty of the surroundings is that no view of the mountain is possible from camp. By crossing the lake, however, we view it in all Its grandeur and get the wonderful reflection In the water. Ideal weather, comfortable camp arrangements, a good chef and a remarkably complete menu are making the outing one of the most successful in the history of the Mazama Club, and much commendation Is heard of the, conscientious work and foresight of the chairman, E. P. Sheldon. Dr. Barck and daughter. Miss Edna, reached camp today by special con veyance having come from St. Louis es pecially for the climb of the mountain. The general health of the party is ex cellent, only one or two instances of tem porary indisposition having occurred. To morrow, Wednesday, the tryout will take place, this being a trip to Cathedral Cave, a hard trip, but one all who wish to climb must take. There is much planning and oiling of boots and adjusting of goggles, as all are enthusiastic and eager to make the trial. A large number of the ladles are wear ing bloomers and high top boots and enjoying the freedom from entangling skirts. One venturesome little matron has appeared clad in boys overalls and a sweater and pronounces It perfect comfort." A few of the more conserv ative still stick to skirts, though they will be doffed for the climb. Comfort, rest and enjoyment are the main objects In life In Chipmunk Camp, and all are striv ing to accomplish this end. Tonight at the Oaks.
