DECISION REACHED AT CONFERENCE
Colonel Undecided As To Whether He
Will Attend Leadership
-Still Retained By
Dixon
OYSTER BAY, N. Y., June 6.
State Senator Flinn, of Pittsburg, was
dispatched post haste to Chicago by
Colonel Roosevelt tonight to act as
the ex-President's representative in
the fight before the National commit
tee over contested delegates. This de
cision was reached after a conference
at Sagamore Hill tonight, in which
the situation at Chicago, as told to the
Colonel over his private wire, was dis
cussed at length.
. Colonel Roosevelt was careful to ex
plain that the leadership of his fight
would remain where it has been in
the hands of Senator Dixon.
"Senator Flinn starts for Chicago
at once," he said. "He is going at my
request. Senator Dixon will be in
charge. Mr. Flinn will assist him."
Colonel Roosevelt did not go into
particulars as to the precise nature
of Mr. Flinn's work, beyond maging
it clear that the Pennsylvanian was
to have an important part in the fight.

The single tax idea was dfscussed
for and against by W. S., U'Ren and
A. L. Veazie, at the Sellwood Y. M. C.
A. Following the debate persons in
the audience discussed the proposition
among themselves.
Mr. U'Ren devoted his time largely
to explaining the meaning of the new
measure of graduated single tax,
whlch.will be voted on at the coming
election. Mr. Veazie rather drifted
away from the graduated tax Idea and
talked on the theory of single tax as
proposed by Henry George.
In answer to Mr. Veazie's state
ment that the graduated single tax
I measure proposed as a question for
the voters to decide, is merely a bait
at the trap of the Henry George sing
le tax idea, in which it Is hoped to
eventually catch the taxpayers, Mr.
U'Ren said:
"All that is intended in offering the
voters an opportunity is to give them
a chance to try it They do not have
to accept it, and if they do not want

HONORED BY HATES
The funeral of Lynn 'Arthur Wil
liams, the eight-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Lloyd Williams, who died
Wednesday after an operation for ap
pendicitis, was held Thursday after
noon at 2 o'clock at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. C. Green, the latter being
a sister of Mrs. Williams. The ser
vices were largely attended by friends
of,Jthe family and the little felow, who
was a favorite with his companions.
Rev. J. R. Landsborough, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, officiated. "Gath
ering of Jewels" and "My Jesus As
Thy Wilt" were rendered by Mrs. A.
E. Frost and Mrs. Leon DesLarzes.
The interment was in the Masonic
plat of Mountain View cemetery. The
floral offerings were beautiful -, and
numerous. A very impressive feature
was when eight little playmates of the
deceased marched to the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Green and placed flowers on
the casket. .
The pallbearers were Kent Wilson;
Lyle McCoy, Joe Alldredge and Gilbert
Morris. - :
Lynn Arthur Williams was the eld
est son of Mr. and Mrs. Williams. He
was born January 24, 1904, and had
lived in this city all of his. life. .
Circuit Judge Eakin la expected to
render in a few days his decision in
the suit of Charles E. Burns, the ap
pointee of Mayor Dimick as chfef of
police, who is seeking to collect sal
ary for his work. This decision may
determine who is chief of police in the
city, and help clarify the police situa
tion generally. Under existing condi
tions there is not a man serving on
the force with a clear title to his
place. E.L. Shaw, chief of police un
der the last administration, has the
backing of all members of the city
council but one, and has made a deter
mined fight to retain th-place. While
Mayor Dimick refused to appoint him.
the city council has declined to con
firm the apointment of another, and
has insisted that Shaw be retained.
In order to insure him his salary he
was appointed Keeper Of The Jail, an
oflice created by the council under the
charter. It is contended that even if
Judge Eakin decides Burns is entitled
to the salary as, chief, Shaw will col
lect $100 a month for his services as
Keeper of The Jail. However, if the
decision should be against Burns,
friends of the mayor have announced
that there will be further litigation.
The charter provides that the ap
pointment of chief shall be made by
the mayor, but It must be approved by
the council. Inasmuch as the require
ments have not been carried out in
either case Burns having been ap
pointed by the mayor, but the appoint
ment not approved by the council, and
Shaw having the support of the coun
cil without the support .of the mayor
it is conteded by one or two well
known lawyers that 'the final decision
will be that neither Shaw nor Burns
is chief. In that event Shaw would
endeavor to collect his salary as Keep
er of the Jail, and Burns would have
to fight, further in the courts for his
or1 lose it.
Night Policeman Jack Frost, whose
salary was cut off by the council Wel
nesday evening, said Thursday that
he would continue to work as long as
the mayor wished him to do so.
"I have not neglected my duty as
charged," said Policeman Frost, "aHfl
I shall continue to work, and. what
is more I will get my money. The
man the councilmen say I let go ran
away before I reached"him, and it was
impossible for me to catch him. There
are several witnesses that will sub
stantiate all that I have said."
Policeman Frost is the only member
of the force whose appointment was
approved by the council. - Poiceman
Green, who was not reappointed by
the. mayor, is serving as a special po
liceman, and Henry Cooke, although
he has the support of the council, has
been dismissed by the" mayor. Lee
French is serving as a special police-
