St.JOHNUGENSES
ARE HELD INVALID
,Trt .r Counc " meet this morning
t o clock to take up consideration of
P-tttlons for submission of various meas
.to.tn ectM- at the- general elec
tion In June, chief of which are the com
mission form of city government, re
ported by the charter committee of 13
taxpayers. and amendments to the pres
r,'," .c!?;rt'r by R committee of seven.
1 list there will be opposition to the com
mission plan, is said to be certain. Coun
cilman Beldlng being strongly opposed to
the proposition. It is said he will make
every effort to keep the proposed charter
r,',7 i f rPle by ""empting to gain
sufficient strength in the Council to de
feat the resolution submitting It. This
It is virtually certain, he cannot do. as
tl:e majority of the Councllmen. while
not personally In favor of the Innovation,
are satisfied they have no right to refuse
t he people opportunity to say whether
they want It.
The charter committee of seven, named
ly the council some time, ago to com
pile less drastic amendments to the pres
ent charter, than the proposad commis
sion plan of government, completed Its
work last night and will have Its report
ready for the Council today. It was an
nounced yesterday. This Is the last Coun
cil session before the time limit for sub
mitting charter amendments, and every
thing. Including the charter amendments
proposed by the committee of seven, must
be in for consideration at today's meet
ing. Consternation In Council.
When the charter commission of 13 re
ported Its proposed charter, there was
consternation In the Council, for the rec
ommendations. If put into effect, would
abolish all of the city boards and cut
tlie number of Councllmen from IS to six.
It Is said and generally believed that
some of the members of the Council, at
least some of those more strongly op
posed to submitting this proposed charter
to the people, fear it may be carried and
they will be out of a Councilmantc Job.
" hy H deny this, however, saying the
only grounds upon which they aro oppos
ing it are that it Is too radical and not
practical, and that It would be a bad
1 Ming for the city, if ever put Into opera
lion. They regard It. they state, as large
ly theoretical, and declare It will never
work out In practical business life.
Councilman Beldlng Is the most bitter
enemy of the proposed commission plan,
and he has denounced It In very strong
Innviiirn Dni.i, - .
- - r " du mi hh m aeciare
It was purposely calculated. In his
opinion, to "Job" the people, and to en
able a few men to build up a gigantic
political machine, for all manner of
sinister purposes. He says he does not
believe In It. and does not believe It would
be consistent to vote to submit "such a
rotten thing" to the people. Council
man Cottel Is also bitterly opposed to it,
but it is probable he will vote to let
the people decide if they want the com
mission plan. Others who are fighting it
are Councllmen lloppner. Dunning and
':icHnnon. It is believed the other mem
bers will vote to send It to the electors
for a decision, but it Is doubtful if any
member of the Council will lend personal
support to the commission scheme.
Committee of Seven Named.
Feeling that the people will not adopt
the proposed commission plan. Council
man Annand. when the committee of 15
reported its work, moved tTiat a com
mittee of seven men be named to revise
the present charter and to submit pro
posed amendments In time to send them
along with the other proposition, so that
the voters may choose between the two.
The committee was thereupon named by
the Council, and has Just completed Its
labors.
Aside from the two charter propositions,
there are a number of other petitions
th:it will come before the Council today
fir submission to the people. The excise
board, proposed by Francis I. MoKenna.
1o take charge of the liquor business in
J'ortland, Is one of these, the petition
being filed yesterday afternoon. A board
of Ave, named by the Mayor, according to
this Is to take the management and regu
lation of saloons out of the hands of he
City Council, where It now rests. Restric
tions a to the conduct ot liquorshops Is
also Included in this measure.
Amendments to the charter, calling for
bond Issues for a municipal lighting plant
nd garbage crematory will also come
before the Council today, and it Is re
garded as probable that fhe session this
morning will he a memorable one.

Rose Karasek Says She Will Fine
Friends Who Speak His Name.

philosopher," Joshua Klein, In the Swiss
Alps, Rose Karasek refused to talk of
the matter and declared she would fine
the first person mentioning the name In
her presence, the amounts ranging from
a box of candy to a pair of gloves.
"I am so tired of It all," she ex
claimed, "that if you love me as you
say. you will forbear mentioning . his
name In my presence again. Talk to
me about music, or anything, but leave
his name out of your conversation. I
think the safest way is to Impose a fine
of anything from a box of candy to a
pair of gloves, and then you won't forget."
