the prlon,M-!i to the City Jail, where he
was attended by Dr. Z'ecler. the City
Physician, and kept for the night, as he
had no home to which to return. It had
been demolished in the melee.
Three men were arrested at the scene
of the wild disorder. They were three
brothers, also Russians, and spoke only
In broken KnRllsh. They gave the names
of Georse. Tonv and Henry Bartnsh. They
were rraaed from liquor and the police

but the police have a description of them
and are scouring North Portland and the
waterfront for traces of them.
Koval savs he does not know the men
who assaulted him. but other scd-dwell-ers
in the same neighborhood say that
the men have been about there before
and that thev believe the battle waa the
result of old quarrels between the broth
ers and Koval. Koval said his loss will
amount to between $400 and 6"). Among
the thinsa destroyed by the miscreants,
said he. were two valuable old violins
he had brought from his native land,
which had been handed down through
several generations of his family, and
which, he believed, were worth a large
sum of money.

REPORT ON CHARTER READY
EAST SIDK CLUB SUGGESTS SEY
EKAIi CHAXGES.
"Wants Board to Include Certain
Provisions on Public Utilities and
Street Improvement.
u. Kice. chairman of the charter
advisorv committee of the United East
Side Push Club, with the assistsnce of
Attorney L. A. McNary. is preparing
for submission to the Charter Commis
sion provisions that the club suggests
be inserted in the new charter. These
provisions were passed on at the meet
ing of the committee last Thursday
night. The provisions considered most
Important a; those pertalntnr to pub
lic utilities and to the Improvement
of streets.
Judge M. G. Mnnly. at the last meet
ing, spoke strongly of the weak, ob
scure ana lneiricient requirements oi
the present charter in the matter of
public utilities. He said this weak
ness handicapped the bridge committee
of the North East Side Improvement
Association when tt undertook the ini
tial measures for the North Portland
bridge across the Willamette River,
when it was found that under the pres
ent charter a bridge of the character
wanted could not be built, and hence
an amendment was necessary. He urged
that the City Council be given author
ity to issue bonds to the amount of
SI'iO.OOO for a public utility without
submitting the issue to a vote of the
people. He went further, and declared
that tbe City Council should have au
thority to issue bonds of any reasonable
amount in cases of great emergency.
In support of this view Judge Munly
cited the great delays incident to the
present plan of calling a special elec
tion for all Buch bond issues.
Another matter considered of impor
tance was that the city take over
streets that have been Improved with a
concrete foundation or which have a
hard surface, and that the city be
empowered to erect and operate a pav
ing plant ao th.t It may eitb-er repair
or improve streets. Jt was voted to
change the present method of laying
water mains so that the district mains
be paid for by district assessments and
supply pipes by general receipts.
The committee laid over the matter
of placing parked streets in the hands
of the Park Board, of changing the
present way of paying for street im
provements so that contractors would
receive their money more promptly, of
making all street work subject to bids
for the entire improvement, and of re
quiring contractors to tear up only a
limited number of blocks and finish
these blocks before tearing up more.
William DeVcny Introduced the pen
sion plan for policemen, bat It was de
cided that it ought to go direct to the
Charter Commission, and he will submit
it there. The other matters will be
taken up at the meeting next Thursday
nigbt.
