BOARD
AVOR
E
Members Consider Charter
Revision to Give Govern
ment by Commission.
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tem of administration Is out of date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-

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.

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."

Daughters Say Mother Was of
Unsound Mind.
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

DR. C A. 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."
During the term of 1886-7 he was a
freshman at Eugene and the following
Summer went to Idaho where he spent
almost two years on a cattle ranch
Entering Cornell In "88. 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.

opportunities for Its development and hav-

TRAIXTXG FOR ASCENT OP ST.
HELENS, SATURDAY.
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.
