and the resolution submitting it to the
electors calls for a primary election, pro
vided for in the charter itself, and a gen
eral election, before the date named, in
order to elect the officers required under
its provisions. The main feature of the
commission plan Is that it places the en
tire control of the city in the hands of a
Mayor and six Councllmen.
The Council's committee of seven made
its report yesterday morning, as follows:

The Mayor and Council of the City of Port

by "friends" of the Council, and not by
the committee.

Action of the City Council yesterday
will place before the people at the Juno
election virtually two new charters, so
that the voters may select their choice,
and various other proposed amendments
to the present charter, brought forward
by individuals, all of which are to be
voted upon at the same time.
The commission scheme, reported by tho
committee of 15 taxpayers, and a revised
draft of the present charter, unanimously
recommended by the Council's committee
of seven, are both to be laid before the
sovereign people. In addition to all of
these, other amendments will be up for
decision. placed before the electors
through the initiative. y
The only opposition of a serious nature
that developed apalnst the proposed com
mission plan was offered by Councllmen
ReMlng and Cottel, just as had been an
ticipated, and although the Council dis
cussed the various features of the plan
for a long time, there was at no time any
danger of Its submission to the people
being defeated. The only members vot
ing against submitting it to the people
were councllmen Welding. Cottel. Dris-
coll and Dunning, and in the first part
of the skirmish, when an amendment was
moved by Cellars, fixing the time for the
commission charter to become effective
If the people adopt it. the vote stood 7
to 7. Mayor La no promptly settled It by
saying:
"Well, gentlemen. If it Is left to my
vote to decide. 1 will lay, let the people
have the charter at the earliest possible
date, if they want it. 1 therefore vote to
have It take effect July 1. 1110, the date
named by Mr. Cellars In his amendment.
Therefore, u the people adopt the
rar amendments to the- charter of the city
and report thereon for submission of such I
amendments to the voters at the general !
election on the first Monday of June. 1009.
have completed and reported to you certain
amendments which we unanimously recom
mend be submitted to the electors at the
coming eloction.
The committee understood from the reso
lution creating It that Its scope of work
was circumscribed and limited to needed
amendments for carrying on the affairs of
the city in an orderly and expeditious man
ner In case of the failure of i-assae of the
report of your first committee of 15 ap
pointed a number of month! ago. we nave,
therefore, limited our work to the amend
ing? of about 15 sections of the charter in
addition to the amending or repealing
of about 85 additional sections in the con
solidation of the four departments of the
city known as the Executive Board. Water
Board, Park Board and Health Board.
The principal changes made in the char
ter, if the report of this committee Is adopted
and the several amendments submitted to
the voters are carried, will be the abolition
of the Water, Park and Health Boards and
their duties placed upon the Executive
Board: the chancing of the method of lay
ing water mains by making the cost thereof
chargeable to the water fund; the payment
of Interest on the unissued water bonds as
well as the principal of the unissued bonds
out of the witer fund; the absolving of the
city from liability of payment of $50,000
annually to the water fund for water con
sumed by it: chanirinr the civil service pro
visions to make easier the discharge of
incompetent and unfit employes of the city
but aa we think without injuring the effi
ciency of the public service; making a com
plete bonding system ror public improve
ment to supplant the state law; providing
a better system for banking the funds of
the city and the making of a number of
wholesome changes in the matter of making
and assessing street improvements and other
public work.
The committee wishes to report that It
does not consider that the charter u.
amended by our recommendations would be
a complete or meal cnartei. ana we Deneve
that there are many additional amendments
which could be made In the general public
interest, but as stated above we have con
sidered that our duties were limited, and
within the time allotted we have done the
best that was possible under the circum
stances, assuring you that each amendment
recommended by us is. we believe, of a
beneficial character to the city. We are,
respectfully.

Kellaher. It was ordered placed on the
ballot.
Amendments to the laws governing
the laying of water mains and the pay
ment of interest on water bonds were
submitted, one by the committee of seven
and another by Councilman Rushlight.
The provisions of these are similar, ex
cept that the committee's proposed
amendment, calls for the payment of
$50,000 a year from the city to the water
fund, and Mr. Rushlight omits the item.
It is Mr. Rushlight's belief that the de
partment should pay all Its operating ex
penses, interest on bonds and for the lay
ing of all except general reinforcement
mains.
The Council authorized City Auditor
Barbur to have 5000 copies of the amend
ments printed for distribution in book
form, for the benefit of voters who may
wish to make careful study of them before
the election in June. After an all-day
session, adjournment was taken until 10
o'clock this morning, when the Council
will assemble, should there be any further
amendments to be considered. This is
the last date upon which amendments
may be submitted to the Council and or
dered placed on the ballot for the June
election.

the committee and adopted for submis
sion by the Council, the Board of Health,
the ater Board and the Park Board

and will be under Its control. Each of
these departments will be In control of

of each will not be appointed as now,
but will be destgmated by the Mayor from

Engineer, who Is constituted the engineer
of the 'Water Department and all other
city departments.

subordinate officers and employes, are
left to the Council for regulation, but it

Moral squad operations were resumed
yesterday, but on a different scale than
heretofore practiced. The entire po
lice force Is to be the moral squad.
Every officer on the force has instruc
tions to keep close watch on the rooming-houses
of the city and to report
to the station on any cases of law
breaking that may come to his atten
tion. In accordance with a special order
Issued by Chief Grltzmacher and read
to the first relief as it went on duty
yesteraay arternoon, the Avalon, at
41SWashina;ton street. Is to be riven
particular scrutiny. A report filed with
the Chief by Patrolman Evans, des
cribes the Avalon as a rendezvous of
disreputable women. The report caused
considerable surprise as the place is
prominently situated and has been
looked upon as one of the better class
of rooming-houses. All other rooming-
nouses are to be given scrutiny, as
well, a beginning being made last
night.
Patrolman Evans, In his report to
tho Chief, describes graphically his
advent at the Avalon during the early
hours of yesterday morning. He seta
out that boisterous talking by men and
women attracted his attention. He in
vestigated, to find that two men and
two women were drinking together
In the place. One of them, who proved
to be .Mrs. Chllberg, the landlady,
summarily ordered him out of the
place, he avers, and he left to avoid
trouble, returning later with Sergeant
Keller. As the officers returned they
saw the landlady carrying eight empty
beer bottles out of the room. No ar
rests have been made as yet, but It
Is said arrests may occur today In con
nection with the incident.
By the new Instructions given the
officers it Is plain that the old system
of breaking In doors Indiscriminately Is
to cease, especially In view of recent
grand jury Indictments of Sergeant
Kienlen for such work. But the wrong
doers axe to be checked up and every
erron made to secure evidence upon
which to base arrests and convictions.
Relief Society, held yesterday In the
First Presbyterian Church the officers
of the society were re-elected for the
ensuing year. An interesting feature of
the meeting was the report of Mrs. P. J.
Mann, In which she showed that the
Children's Home, maintained by the so
ciety, is in excellent condition. Mrs.
Mann said she had formerly held the
opinion that the children in the home
should be kept there until they were able
to choose some work for themselves; but
she now believed that homes should be
found for them as early as possible. She
referrerd to the resignation of Mrs.
Stearns, the matron, and the appoint
ment of Mrs. Ella Matlack as her suc
cessor. The employment of an assistant
matron was also shown to have proved
an advantage. The oequest to the home
of J5000 from the estate of the late
Amanda Reed was referred to with an
expression of appreciation of the generous
gift.
The officers elected yesterday were:
President, Mrs. P. J. Mann; first vice

o.o TONIC
GRAND JURY INDICTS 4
ALL CASES OX HAXD ARE XOW
INVESTIGATED.
The very great majority- of TJersona need a tonic in the Srjrine? or oarltr
Summer. The system undergoes a change at this season and the entire
physical machinery is disturbed. The general bodily weakness, a tired.
worn-out feeling, fickle appetite, poor digestion, a half sick; feeling and a
general run-down condition of the system, show that the blood is -weak or
anaemic, and a blood purifying tonio is needed to build up the deranged
system and enrioh the blood. The use of S. S. S. at this time may sava
you from a long spell of sickness, and it will certainly prepare you for the
long, hot Slimmer. Many people have put off using a tonio until the system
became so weakened and depleted it could not successfully throw off disease
germs, and have paid for the neglect with a spoil of fever, malaria or some
other debilitating sickness. S. S. S. is Nature's ideal tonio. It is a
composition of the extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks which
science and experience have proven are best fitted for a tonio to the human
system. It contains no minerals of any kind and is therefore perfectly safe
for persons of any age. S. S. S. tones up the stomach and digestion, rids
the system of that tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and strength
to every part of the body. It purifies and enriches the blood, stimulates
the secreting and excreting members to better action, quiets the over
strained nerves, and makes one feel better in every way.
