QUESTION OF EMPLOYES Officials Firm In the Belief That Ruling AV.il I Work Great Im provement in Federal Work. Thut civil isprvice employes shall havi appal from the decision of the employ ing and discharging power of the city on other than religious or political charges Is the recommendation made by the city Civil Service Commission at Its meeting yesterday afternoon. The Commissioners are strongly of the belief that this will work a big improvement in the service. Jt will shut off such long-drawn-out trials as those of the four former city detec tives. Joe Day. J. F. Reslng. F. J. Snow and L. G. Carpenter. The recommenda tion will be transmitted to the Charter Commision at once. 1'nder the present rules of the City Civil Service Commission, as provided by ths charter, any civil service employe has the right of appeal to the Commission from the decision of the City Executive Board, the Board being the appointing and discharging power. No matter how incompetent a person may be, or how detrimental his action may have been to the city s service. It is possible for a man to fight for months before the several boards and put the city and Its various departments and heads of departments to unlimited trouble before he can be Anally discharged. It is to put a stop to this procedure and for the benefit of the civil service that the Commisisoners yes terd.iy voted their recommendation. That there are a number of rank In competents In the city's classified lists under the civil service Is frankly admit ted by the officials, but there is scarcely any means of discharging them. Under the charter. It has been held by the courts, a general charge of incompetency cannot Justify a discharge under civil service rules. This was the original charge against the former detectives, who were dismissed and appealed to the Civil Service Commission, were ordered reinstated, were again dismissed by the Executive Board, and are now await Ing a second hearing on appeal to the Commission. If the change recommended is Incor porated Into the new charter and be comes a law. It will simplify matters. It Is believed. If an employe is then dis charged for Incompetency, he will have . no appeal. The Civil Sen-Ice Commission also an nounced the decision in the case of JIatt P. Murphy, formerly a patrolman, who was discharged by the Executive Board on charges of general misconduct. The action of the Board Is sustained. GRAFT IS TOPIC OF IRIjOHir FIRE COMMITTEE WILL- MAKE QUICK INVESTIGATION. Responsibility for Negligence in .Matter of Hydrants to Be Fixed by the Authorities. The fire committee of the City Execu tlve Board will meet at the City Hall this afternoon to Inquire Into the charges of graft openly made by Wal ter O. Haines, representing the Ludlow Valve & Manufacturing Company against Walter Phillips, hydrant in spector for the Portland Fire Depart ment. The accusations were made at a spe cial meeting of the committee last Monday, when an Investigation was in progress to determine the responslbll Ity for SS hydrants lying on the public streets without proper attention. In connection with the Investigation as to the fixing of the responsibility lor leaving the hydrants unattended from May 2 to August 12, when there were numerous demands for hydrants from all sections of the city, Mr. Haines declared that he had heard from three sources that the Ludlow hydrants would be rejected, as the man who would Inspect them "had financial In terest In the Portland hydrant." a local brand. These accusations were of a nature so serious as to demand rigid Investigation by the fire committee. The manner in which the investiga tion to fix the responsibility for the al leged negligence as to the hydrants, has given rise to the belief in official circles that Fire Chief Campbell Is the real object of attack in the whole mat ter. While it is the business of the fire committee of the Executive Board to handle all matters regarding the fire department, Thomas G. Greene, the chairman of the committee on police, lias taken an aggressive part in the matter. He being the chief lieutenant of Mayor Lane, has given rise to the belief among some that the Mayor seeks the removal of Chief Campbell and that Mr. Greene has been selected as the proper man to conduct the case. Mr. Greene made the original motion which brought about the investigation as to the hydrants, and he appeared at the session of the fire committee last Monday as a private citizen, as he said, and conducted the whole affair. It is intimated that the members of the fire committee feci that Mr. Greene is un necessarily attending to their official business for them, and that they are not any too pleased with his attitude. It is fully expected that, if the inves tigation proceeds as scheduled for this afternoon, it will prove to be probably the most interesting, session ever held by the fire committee. PRAISE FOR THE TROPICS Dr. Giesy and Wife Tell of Delight ful Voyage to. South Seas. Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Gicsy and son have returned from a delightful cruise of three months among the tropical Islands of the Pacific. While at Ruto roa. New Zealand, the tourists met the officers and men of the United States fleet of battleships and with them en joyed the famous dances of the natives, which supplied one of the most inter esting diversions of the trip. Leaving Portland in the middle of .Tune. Dr. Giesy and family sailed for Sydney. Australia, stopping en route at Honolulu, the FIJI Islands and Bris bane. From Sydney they went to Auck land. New Zealand, where they visited the famous volcanic district of Ruto roa. "Rutoroa possesses some of the characteristics of Tellowstone National Park," said Dr. Giesy last night. "Al though in many respects It la wholly Indifferent, Ruturoa has some of the similarities of our own celebrated vol canic district- We also visited the world-famous extinct geyser. ' Wai Munga, which has not been active for the last four years. When in an active state, It threw water to a height of from 1200 to 1500 feet from a lake which covered an acre of ground. "From those extremely Interesting points, we returned to Auckland and took the South Sea Island steamer Atua and spent two weeks visiting the vari ous ports In the Friendly Islands, In cluding Lautoka and Vauvau. We also spent some time at Apia, Samoa, and then returned to Fiji and visited no merous other islands in that locality. Concluding our sightseeing excursions we proceeded to Suva and boarded our eteamer for home, returning via . an couver B. C. "I was wonderfully Impressed with the remarkable tropical growths on the different Islands, particularly with the hundreds of acres of cocoanut trees. . became interested in the cocoa Indus try and made quite a study of It. While the scenic surrounding of Honolulu are exceedingly beautiful, there are other places In the tropics I consider even more attractive. Vauvau, one of the ports of the Friendly Inlands, for in stance, I consider one of the most de lightful places I have ever visited." NIG FIGHT ENDS STANDS By THE "LADIES" COUNCIL- WOULD NOT CURTAIL THEIR PRIVILEGES. Free to Enter Saloons Now That Pro posed Ordinance Has Been Sent to Graveyard. The City Council, upon motion by Councilman Baker, yesterday lndefi nltely postponed the consideration of the proposed ordinance prohibiting women from entering saloons. This action was taken at the morning ses sion, and resulted In a vote of seven to eight. It was never seriously be lieved that there was any intention upon the part of the Council to pass such an extreme measure. It was bit terly opposed by the liquor interests. On the question to Indefinitely post pone, the vote resulted: Yeas An nand. Baker, Beldlng, Concannon, Cot' tel. Drlscoll, Dunning, Kellaher; Nays Bennett. Cellars, Menefee, Rushlight. Vaughn, Wallace. Wills. "I have heard a whole lot of dis cussion on this subject by members of this Council," said Mr. Baker, after several had spoken, "but I really do not believe that any of the members Intend to vote for such a measure; I think they want to do something to please their constituents, but don't care to do anything that will hurt themselves. Now, if you've got the nerve to vote and go through with the proposition, I move that further consideration of this ordinance be in definitely postponed." Mr. Cellars moved that the ordinance be taken up and considered, and the motion carried. Mr. Cellars said he favored the passage of the ordinance just as It was drafted by City Attorney Kavanaugh and the office deputies, without any amendments, as It could be enforced as originally drawn. Mr. Bennett then offered an amend ment, eliminating restaurants and ho tels, where there are rooms without screens or curtains and not less than 400 square feet. Mr. Vaughn further amended by striking out the except- ng clause and applying the stringent law to restaurants and hotels. Mr. Vaughn then made a lengthy argument In favor of the application of the law to hotels and restaurants, saying that more harm comes from these than from the saloons. BURIAL OF MRS. E.

I Council Refuses to Repeal the Bitulithic Ordinance. DEFEATED BY BIG VOTE Only Three Stand by Kellaher in Effort to Throw Open Street Work in Portland to All Biddors. COUNCIL WTI.L STEET TODAY. The City Council adjourned at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, upon motion of Councilman Baker, and Mayor Lane and the Councilmen at tended the exhibition at the Country CluV The Council will reassemble at 9:30 o'clock this morning to complete pending business. Councilman Kellaher's efforts to se cure repeal of the sections of an ordi nance which give to the Warren Con struction Company the exclusive right to lay bitulithic pavement, met with defeat at the session of the City Coun cil yesterday morning. The resolution was voted down 4 to 11. after several of the members had made their stand on the controversy. The vote was as follows: the ques tion being on the repeal of the section giving the exclusive right: Yeas Cot tel. Kellaher, Rushlight, Vaughn. Nays Annand, Baker, Beldlng, Bennett, Cellars, Concannon, Driscoll, Dunning, Menefee, Wallace, Wills. Mr. Kellaher made a clear statement of his contentions, saying that he re garded it as an Injustice to the public for the Council to continue in force the section giving to the Warren Construe' tion Company exclusive right to lay bitulithic pavement- He also declared that he had secured a chemical analy sis of the Ingredients, and had estab lished. that these are nearly all asphalt; that there is nothing extraordinary about them except their copyrighted names. He appealed to his colleagues to vote favorably for the adoption of the resolution on these grounds. Mr. Cellars led the opposition to Mr. Kellaher's resolution, and contended that there Is no merit In what Mr. Kel laher had stated; that It would do no good to repeal the section alluded to. as it would not afford relief to the pub lie and would simply put out of busi ness the Warren Construction Company without helping any one else. He fav ored, 'he said, an ordinance to secure bids on all brands of pavements and to let the property-owners choose what they wish from the figures submitted, so that all brands of the different com panies would have an equal chance. Dr. Cottel declared that it is dis graceful to allow the monopoly on bi tulithic, and supported Mr. Kellaher's motion. Mr. Wills started to indulge In personalities, when Mayor Lane called him to order. "I ' think," said Mr. Wills, "that Mr. Kellaher should start. up a paving es tablishment. He could do lots more good In that manner than he does by running his little grocery store on the East Side." "Whatever you do here, gentlemen," Bpoke up the Mayor, "you must not engage in personalities; I simply will not permit it." Mr. Wills then continued by expres sing the belief that the motion by Mr. Kellaher should be defeated. "A legalized monopoly; a graft that flourishes without Interference," was the way Mr. Vaughn characterized the .present status of the bitulithic meas ure. He said that City Engineer Tay lor had declared that bituminous maca dam is as good a pavement as the bitu lithic, and that the whole Council had been deceived at one time when Mr. Wills and others exhibited data to show that the macadam is a poor improvement.
