PLAN FOR
COUNCIL OF SEVEN
Charter Board Would Invest
Executive Power in These
and Mayor.
MAY GIVE PEOPLE RECALL
Committee Report Also Favors Abo
lition of Numerous Auxiliary
Bodies, Jut This Feature Is
Continued for Consideration.
The Charter ComminMson last night
adopted in part the report of the com
mittee on executive, the chief feature be
ins that the city shall be governed by a
Mayor and seven Councilmen. elected at
large, and that the legislative and ex
ecutive functions be centered in this
body. Other highly Important parts of
the report were postponed for further
consideration or were aent back for elab
oration. That section of the report recommend
ing abolition of all boards and commis
sions as the subjoct ef considerable
discussion, and ii was thought wise to
postpone definite action until the entire
question can be investigated. This was
done largely because Kev. W. G. Eliot.
Jr.. ral!-ed the yuest'.on of whether the
city can abolish the library commission
without considerable expense and trou
ble. Therefore, this phase of the charter
will receive further attention, as indeed
will the whole matter. The actions of
he Commission, of course, are subject
to ehang at any time by that body, as
events may seem to make wise
Division or City Control.
.' The committee reported in favor of
eevert Councilmen and one Mayor and
-that each Councilman be assigned to the4
command of one of seven city depart
'ments. with two colleagues to assist
him. This feature was attacked by Dr.
C. H. Chapman, who said It would di
vide responsibility and he moved that it
,be the sense of the Commissison that but
'one Councilman be in charge of each de
partment. The question as to whether , the recall
law should be Incorporated Into the char
.ter called forth much debate, and was
-finally referred back to the committee
;for a more detailed report. The elim
ination of party names from ballots was
passed over for further consideration, as
was also the matter of salaries.
; The all-Important action of last night
is contained In the adoption of the fol
lowing section of the committee's re
port: i Important Sections Adopted.
The executive power of the City of Port
'land shall be vested in a Mayor and Coun
iell, to consist of seven members and no
more, which Mayor and Council are to be
elected by the auntlfled voters of the City
.of Portland at large.-
' The other section of the report adopted
follows:
The committee recommends that the
Mayor have no veto power, but should have
jx veto with the members of the Council on
tall measures coming un before the Mayor
and Council; Ave affirmative votes to be
'necessary to pass any law or to do any
ict for the city.
, The next item in the report was that
relating to the elimination of the nu
jneroua boarde and commissions, as fol
lows: That section 123 of the present charter
,r the City of Portland be amended by strik
ing out everything In the present section 1-3
fcwhlrh relates to hoards or commissions,
providing in the place thereof that boards
iind commissions are all abolished, and that
?Hll power of a legislative or administrative
Ttlnd be placed In the hands of the Mayor
fand Council, who are to transact all the
.business of the city.
' I-ibrary Board Held Necessary.
Dr. Eliot arose, when the question
came up as to whether or not to adopt
the section, and he expressed serious
Jdoubt as to the advisability of adopt
ing this section. He said he under
stood that the city could not well
Ubollsh the Library Commission, and It
wR finally decided to postpone this
matter untit the next session when
City Attorney Kavanaugh will make
1 report upon It. There seems little
Soubt the commission will abolish all
-boards, if possible.
The section of the report which
recommends the division of city de
partments into seven, with one Coun
cilman as the head of each, and with
two of his colleagues to assist htm,
caused much discussion.
"I do not like to appear In the role
of a complalner." said Dr. Chapman,
"but !t seems to me that there Is grave
danger at this point of serious trouble.
There as too much possibility of a
shifting of responsibility If we put
three councilmen In each department."
I would graatly prefer to have bat one
Councilman, making . him responsible
for the conduct of his department."
Two Colleagues Are Favored.
Ex-Senator Gearin and T. B. Wilcox,
members of the committee, explained
that they considered all these matters
In their meeting, and thought that it
would be wise to give each Councilman
two colleagues to help htm. especially
in an ativlsory capacity, but they were
perfectly wilting to accept an amend
ment, and the section was referred to
the committee for revision.
The section was as follows:
The committee recommends that . the
management of the city's affairs be di
X'idert Into seven departments and that the
Mayor appoint each member of. the Coun
cil, chalrmsr of a committee consisting
of the chairman and two other Council
men, to have entire charge of that branch
ef the citys affairs: reserving to the Mayor
the right to change the uersonnel of any
committee at anv time without notice, and
to the different committees the right to
change the personnel of their departments
at any time, without being called uion to
assign any reason therefor
The "recall" section of the report also
caused much discussion. The committee
favored its Incorporation into the charter.
and recommended that It b? "similar" to
the state law on recall. R. W. Montague
said that he was not ready, to vote for the
adoption of this section, as did also Dr.
Eliot and City Attorney Kavanaugh. Both
of the latter said they favor some provl
sion for the adjusting of the financial
loss incurred hr any official who might be
forced to put up a fight to retain his of
fice. In case he should be sustained by the
people. The section was sent back to com
mittee for the ' purpose of elaborating
some such provision. The recommenda
tion pf the committee on the recall was
as follows:
Provisions Made -"or Recall.
It Is also the Judgment of this committee
that provision should be made in tne cnar
ter for the removal of the Mayor and
Council bv the electors qualified to vote
trr the successor of such Incumbent. The
nrocedure to effect sueh removal shoeid
be contained In the charter and be similar
to the recall provided by the state law
with reference to state ofrtcers. nnd should
orovlde that upon a written petition signed
by ." Der cent of the voters voting at
the last preceding rcneral municipal elec
tion, asking therelor. a special election
PTS
should be called for the purpose of elect
ing a successor to the Mayor or Council
man sought to be removed.
Following is the recommendation of the
committee on the matter of elimination of
party names from the ballot under the
new system:
While the committee does not undertake
to say In Just what form It should be ex
pressed. It Is the judgment of the com
mittee, however, that all party designa
tion upon the primary ballot, or upon the
election ballot In the city elections, be
abolished and that the two tersons re
ceiving the highest number of votes In the
primary election be the candidates In the
general election to follow the primary
election, and that In the general election
there be no partv designation . upon the
ticket, and that those placed upon the
election ballot for Councilman be the 14
persons receiving the highest vote In the
primary election seven being the number
of Councilmeu to be chosen.
John F. Logan said he was not ready to
aay that he would favor elimination of
party names from the ballots, and Mr.
Montague and others were unprepared
to vote for the adoption of the section.
"I cannot understand how anyone who
favors the elimination of partisan poli
tics from city government can hesitate
to vote for this." commented Dr. Chap
man. Without much debate, however, the
section was passed over for "further
consideration."
The question of salaries was set forth
in the following section of the committee
report:
The committee also recommends that the
salary of the Mayor should be placed at
g-Uioo per year and each member of the
Council, elected at large- as aforesaid,
should receive a salary of SliuOO per year;
and that the Mayor and the Councilmen
should devote such time to the city's busi
ness as Is necessary for the proper con
duct of the city's affairs.
The salary question brought forth same
remarks from the members. Mr. Mon
tague said he doubted If the salaries were
adequate for the services demanded, and
said that it bad been demonstrated in
Portland that salaries once flxeu too low
were never Increased by the people, and
Mr. Wilcox thereupon moved that this
section be postponed for further consid
eration, especlolly since it seemed to be
the sense of the commission that but one
councilman should conduct each depart
ment. The motion carried.
The legislative committee reported
also, and Its report was almout identi
cal with the executive committee's re
port; so much so, in fait, that in no
Important particular did it conflict. It
was accepted and placed on file and
will be open for consideration at all
time.
There are some very important and
most serious features in the executive
committee's report to be considered as
yet. The question of abolishing a'.l
boaVds is most radical, as It sweeps
out the Executive Board, Water Board,
Health Board, Park Board, Civil Service
Commission and every euch body now
existing. Just what power .shall be
committed to the Mayor and seven
Councilmen to create offices and to fill
them, and what officials shall be ap
pointed by the Mayor and Council, are
also to be decided. There are differ
ences of opinion on these questions, and
it will be a long time, it seems certain,
before the matter will be fully decided.
There will be opportunity at some
future time for the public to be heard
by the commission on whatever amend
ments to the charter the people may
wish to have made, but the commission
will insist upon each person wishing
to be heard filing first a written state
ment. This will be referred to a com
mittee for consideration, and later the
person will be permitted to come be
fore the commission and explain the
amendment.
The question ae to whether all of the
Councilmen and the Mayor shall be
elected at one and the same time will
be reported on at the next session by
the committee on elections.

Moses and his family have been exclud

the church trustees. Mr. Moses, who is
vice-president of the Chamber of Com

obtained an order In the Superior
Court citing the church into court on
October 2, to show cause why it should
not be restrained from further exclud

Moses in his complaint recites that
he paid for his pew on September 25;
on the evening of that day, he says, his
two children attended services and the
ushers took up their tickets. He saya
he appealed to the temple without suc

although he is a charter member of the
church, he and his family are about to
be excluded from participation In the
services on "the day of atonement" be

ending at sundown October S, and will
thereby be done a great and Irrepar

was from Graves' daughter, who had been
trymg to trace him for the last three
months and identified him through ef

through a description furnished by Mr.
Buck about a week ago. The letter states
that Graves was 70 years old and that he
probably committed suicide. - as he had
been despondent through ill health and
money losses.
The fact that his hands were tied to
gether and weighted with a heavy stone
led to the belief at the time the body was

PLEA FOR JUSTICE
Senator Beveridge Explains
. Injunction Law.
TAFT FAVORS FAIRNESS
Indlanan Refers to Bill He Intro
duced Last Session, by Which
Every Man Shall Have His
Day In Court.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Sept. 29. Ex
plaining the policy of the Republican
party in reference to capital and labor
and recounting the legislation in the In
terests of the working class. Senator A.
J. Beveridge, of Indiana, tonight deliv
ered the second of his replies to W. J.
Bryan. Senator Beveridge was greeted
by an enthusiastic crowd.
Mr. Beveridge passed in rapid re
view the various measures in the in
terest of labor which have been passed
by a Republican Congress and Presi
dent the nine-hour law for railroad
men. the safety appliance law, the
creation of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, the eight-hour day
for Government employes and for em
ploves of contractors on Government
work and the law forbidding railroads
to discriminate against union men. He
predicted- an early revival of Indus
trv aft.-r Mr. Tnft's election and said:
"How many mills would Sin Bryan's
election open? How many Idle work
ingmen would it send back to factory
and mine?" He than entered upon a
discussion of the Injunction question,
saying:
Before President Taft's administration is
one year old we shall end the abuse of
the Injunction In labor disputes. On this
great questldn there are extremists on both
sides both wrong. as extremists always
are. There are thoiw who declare that the
power to enjoin ht-a never been abused
but the Amerlca-j bench and bar know
that It has been i bused; worklngmen know
It. the whole people know It. Injunctions
have been Issued without notice, hearings
not given until the trouble had passed;
men punished for disobedience without their
day In court. These abuses are not many,
but there have been enough of them to
prove the evil, to arouse a sense of Injus
tice in the breast of labor, to -create un
rest throughout the Nation.
The possibility of t:.ese abuses must be
stopped. Every man should have Ills day
In court this Is the first great maxim of
law-made liberty and liberty-made law.
This Is the foundation of the people's re
spect for and obedience to the courts.
When the meanest man Deneatn our ims
Is denied that right, the Republic ceases
to be free. As a general rule, no Injunc
tion should Issue without notice, and once
Issued It should speedily be heard.
Tart Stands for Justice.
I Introduced a bill at the last session
providing for these fundamentals; it will
be enacted into law by the next Congress.
To give to the laboring man his day In
court on any Injunction against him gives
him nothing more than his Just rights, and
takes from the employer none of his just
rights. On the one hand it takes from
the laborer's heart his sense of outrage
and from the conscienceless agitator his
chief argument; while on the other hand
It puts the employer to no disadvantage
If be is In the right, and denies him Im
proper advantage If he Is in the wrong.
It quenches the fires of unrest; It strength
ens the Nation's faith in the courts, and
It does all this by securing Justice. Justice
is the sovereign word of public peace and
human welfare. And never have I known
a man who stands so firmly, for Justice
as William H. Tat.
I denounce extremists on both sides of
this great question of human rights. Every
man ousht to vote against the men who
say that we should not end the real evils
of Injunction: and against every man who.
Instead of ending these evils, would create
greater evils in their place. On this ques
tion I am non-partisan. I am opposed to
the Bourbons in my own party who are
against ending these evils, and 1 am
against the guerrillas of the Opposition
who would destroy this most useful power
of the courts of conscience. For the courts
of equity are the courts of conscience, and
the writ of Injunction Is the most useful
power of the courts of equity. Black
stone savs that equity is "the correction
of that wherein law. by reason of Us uni
versality. Is deficient."
Necessity of Injunctions. '
The Injunction prevents the digging of
a pit which will cause a neighbor's house
to fall: It restrains railroads from grant
ing rebates; it compels them to furnish
cars; It enjoins corporations from violat
ing statutes: It stops men from burning
property and ruining business; It seizes the
hands of the lawless, whether canitalist or
laborer, before It strikes Its blow which,
once struck, works Injury that never can
be remedied. And those who would strike
down this writ of conscience are Ignorant
of the meaning of equity Jurisprudence,
forgetful of the . centuries of experience
and wisdom which created it. blind to
the consenuences of their own purposes:
or else are evil-minded demagogues who
would coin votes out of passions.
And that is Just what the Opposition's
j.rogramme results in. It means the prac
tical overthrow of the nower of injunc
tion. In the past 20 years many times
the number of Injunctions have been is
sued against corporations and capitalists
that have been Issued against laboring men.
Show me one Injunction against labor, and
I will show you at least a hundred against
capital. Yet It the Opposition's plan Is
applied to InJvnctlons against railroads,
corporations, trusts and all other forms
of capital, there la an end to the power
of the courts over lawless wealth; an end
to the awe of Judges ever Kresenl In the
hearts of the pirates of money; an end
to the fear of all the restrains of Justice
In all the departments of our commercial
and Industrial life. Once let .those ruth
less overlords of gold, whom only the fear
of equity's strong arm restrains, understand
that that arm is palsied, and lawless wealth
will run riot, y
Gompers Honest, but Wrong.
I do not think that the men who are
demanding this law fully understand Its
consequences; I do not believe they realize
the Frankenstein they are creating. No
man means better by his fellowman than
Mr. Bryan, but he has not taken the time
to think this subject out. . Mr. Gompers
is an honest enthusiast, devoted to the
uplift of the toiler, -but he has not' ex
plored the path on which he would set
our feet.
I stand for labor when It is right, and
only then: I stand for capital when it is
right, and only then; but always I stand
for Justice, whether labbr or capital or
both oppose it. or whether the people
themselves in a moment of wrath would
deny It

110 HOLDS THE REINS?
KENTUCKY KLICK STRICTLY UP
AGAINST IT.
Desires to Aid Bryan by Sending Out
Stump Speakers, but Does Not.
Know "Who to See." ,
So many, committees In the. Democratic
camp are reaching out for funds and au
thority that the faithful are wondering
Just who Is In possession of the party
reins. Although the State Central Com
mittee has an executive committee and a
finance committee, another committee has
butted in to run things after Its own
style, its members being erstwhile non
partisans, and professing desire for har
mony with the state committee.
Last night the Kentucky Kliok, an or
ganization composed chiefly of partisan
patriots, again took notice of the situa
tion, by addressing a letter to the public,
from Its Board of Managers, telling Its
perplexity as to which committee holds
the party authority and asking for light.
The Board appointed a committee to in
vestigate the cause of the last committee's
creation.
The board of managers met In Its rooms
In the Chamber of Commerce building,
for the purpose of making plans for boost
ing Bryan. The managers wish to send
on a stumping tour of the state Mark
O'Nell, president of the Klick, and James
Gleason. at the Klick's expense, providing
It can make arrangements with the cen
tral committee.
But the non-partisan committee's usurp
ation of party authority, leaves the Klick
in doubt as to "who to see." It wants to
do business with -the Central Committee,
but the non-partisan committee stares it
in the face. As the Klick does not like
nonpartisans. It feels 'Up against it.
While the latter committee professes now
to be completely partisan, its members
not long ago were non-partisan. They
are Jefferson Myers, J. K. Teal and C. S.
Jackson, of Portland; W. M. Kiser. of
Salem, and C. J. Smith, of Pendleton.
This committee has undertaken to raise
a campaign fund and to expend it
throughout the state, although the State
Central Committee already has commit
tees for khe purposes In the persons of
Robert A. Miller, Lafe Pence, John Van
Zante. C. K. Henry and Richard Mon
tague, constituting a finance committee
and in the persons of Alex Sweek and
John Montag. of Portland: Lark Bilyeu,
of Eugene; Sam Garland, of Lebanon;
Vf . F. Matlock, of .Pendleton, and M. A.
Miller, of Lebanon. National Committee
man, constituting an executive committee.
The board of manager of the Klick in
their perplexity were addressed by a
member who said that Chairman Sweek
had an interview in an evening paper
that might throw light on the subject.
The Interview had a clever heading: "Bry
an Fund Is Growing." Thereupon it was
decided to offer the following open let
ter addressed to the public, for th pur
pose of clearing up matters:
In Chairman Eweek's interview he states
that the new committee Is merely a finance
committee and a "public-spirited body.
Does Chairman Sweek wish the public to
understand that he has discharged the ori
ginal finance committee, namely. Colonel
Robert A. Miller, Lafe Pence, John Van
Zante, C. K. Henry, Richard Montague and
Tom Word, because It was not public
spirited. If not. . why has the original
finance committee been superseded? If he
has not fired the old committee, why has
he appointed a new one?
The Kentucky Klickers are still of the
opinion that the original committees have
authority and should have the credit for the
conduct of the campaign and the distribu
tion of the plums, should any fall to mem
bers of the Democratic party.
Chairman Sweek. like President Roosevelt,
has jumped from Ohio to Oklahoma, for he
cannot successfully claim that he enlarged
the old finance committee, nor can he al
lege the new committee Is merely a finance
committee, for on the front Page of J he
evening paoer of September 2j, Chairman
Sweek published the following:
The money received will be expended In
Oregon, under the direction of the special
.i.. ,nn,i,tlnr of .lefferson Myers, J.
N Teal. C 8. Jackson, of Portland; Dr. C.
J ' fitilth. of Pendleton, and W. M. Kiser,
of Salem, appointed by State Chairman Alex
Sweek "
The Klick committee appointed to in
vestigate the matter will report to the
Klick not later than Monday. It is direct
ed to learn what influences caused Chair
man Sweek to put on the shelf the regu
lar finance and executive committees of
the State Central Committee.
FAVORS PRESENT CHARTER
Francis I. McKenna Speaks Against
Des Moines Plan.
Francis I. McKenna. in his address
last night before the United East Side
Push Clubs on "What Portland Needs
In the Way of Charter Revision," ar
gued for the retention of the main
features of the present charter, and de
clared emphatically against the Des
Moines and the Galveston method of
city government. He contended that
while a strong city government was a
good thing, yet a city government In
which the power was centralized was
more open to abuses and rings, with
greater opportunities for graft and
corruption than a city government
where the power Is. distributed among
co-ordinate boards. He declared " that
he would retain the Executive Board,
the Water Board and the Park Board,
and adjust any friction between them.
W. J. Clemens spoke briefly on the
fill contracts on the East Side, remark
ing that nothing should be done to de
lay their completion by hampering the
contractors. Municipal lighting was
discussed by H. G. Parsons, W. L.
Boise, Dr. W. De Veny. C. H. Raffety,
J. H. Nolta and others under a resolu
tion from the North Albina Push Club.
Thomas G. Greene, a member of the
Executive Board, also spoke of the im
portance of the question, and advised
that the club consider It carefully., Per
sonally, he said, he favored the city
owning the distributing system inside
the city, and purchasing electric cur
rent from competing companies, but
doubted whether It would be a good
thing for the city to spend 12,000,000 in
erecting a power plant.

White Plague Discussed in Inter
national Convention on Tubercu
losis by Eminent Professors and
Medical Men of World.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2. That five
million people now living in the
United States are doomed to nil
consumptivee' graves unless something
Is done to prevent it, was the startling
declaration of Professor Irving Fisher,
of Tale University, in an address on
"The cost of tuberculosis" before the
International Tuberculosis Congress to
day. Profesor Fisher's address created
a sensation.
Profesor Fisher further declared thac
the 138,000 persons who die of con
sumption annually in this country cost,
in hard cash, over l,00O,00O,000 a year.
In section one, in which it ia ex
pected most of the scientific discus
sions and discoveries will develop, there
was a discussion of great importance
to the Congress at the morning session,
when Professor Calmett, of Lille,
France, director of the Pasteur Insti
tute, advanced the theory that tubercu
leum bacilli are taken into the system
by swallowing. Heretofore inhalation
has been considered the principal meth
od of contracting consumption. In
fection by inhalation was warmly de
fended by Professor Tendeloo of Hol
land. Past Assistant Surgeon Victor G.
Heifer of the United States Public Health
and Marine Hospital service and director
of health of the Philippine Islands, as
serted that In tropical countries, where
tuberculosis and -hookworm disease pre
vail, elimination of the hookworm pro
duced better results in diminishing the
mortality from tuberculosis than any
other measure that has yet been tried on
a large scala.
LABOR DENOUNCES BRYAN
Refuses to ' Put Union Label on
Commoner, Despite Requests.
VINCENNES, Ind., Sept. 29. (Special.)
By an almost unanimous vote the State
Federation of Labor today adopted a
resolution condemning William Jennings
Bryan for his refusal to carry the union
label on the Commoner. The president of
the State Federation, Edgar A. Perkins,
Is in charge of the labor bureau of the
Democratic committee, and It was he who
