SIMON'S ORDINANCE WAITS Measure Kcfcrrlng to Only One Sot of New City I-aws Itrfcrrfd. Mayor Would Art on as Many a 8 Dm It !!. With members of tha chartr com Tnlttr of IS cltlien and taxpayers -eklr.it further tima !n which to sub mit their finished product to the City Council n.l Myor Hiahlleht xprss tns; the wish that ail possible spefd ba made In chafiKlna- from the present form to commission Kovrmment. a pe culiar phase Is developed. That tha Instrument now bmna; shaped by them 1. vastly too delicate and Important to tm rushed. Is the sentiment expressed yesterday by a majority of the mem bers of the committee. One year more, they say. Is needed. Meanwhile an ordinance which was prepared by ex-Mayor Simon and which was substituted by blm for one passed by the Council previously when pre sented by Councilman Ilaker. Is belnff subjected to the scrutiny of those who are friendly to Mayor UushllirhU That It contains a "Joker" was whispered about the City Hall yesWday when It ame up for action In tha session of the City Council, but Mr. Simon yes terday afternoon explained his atti tude and his reasons for drawlnr It so that, under Its provisions, but one charter that Mnit prepared by tha committee named by him as Mayor un der authority of the Council could be submitted at a special election, called for by In provisions for January . Only On Charier In Vlrw. "When I drew the ordinance. ex plained Mr. Simon. "I had In mind only the propo.ie-4 rontmlsslon charter betnic drafted by the IS taxpayers whom I appointed under the authority of the nunctL No other wa beinc prepared then and. I kuc.. Is not yet; but. at any rate. I drew the ordinance to cover nlv tte official charter. If any other charters are sous-ht to be submitted to the paopt. th Council has full power t. submit them, as Is well known." The ordinance In question was not t!cused at all when It came up yes terday momln. but was referred by Miror KusfallKbt to the committee on Judictarv. "In my opinion." said City Attorney Grant, a member of tha charter com mittee. iMs work ts too Important to te rushed. Taeoma's commission char ter. I am Informed, was rushed and It Is not a aood charter. Spokana took rlenty of time andjrot an excellent one I should say that, to do this subject Justice, the committee should have Plenty of time and that, after Ita work t. complete, ther should be a lapse of from four to six months. In which the people should be made familiar with every provision of the proposed charter before they voto on It. One year from now la none too lone to accomplish such results aa will be a benefit to tha entire city." More Time Ilcqn I ml. I do not believe that next January Is tha proper tim to vote on the pro posed chartT." said J. E. Werleln. "We need more t'.me to prepare such an Im portant document, and then It must be studied by the voters before they can decide Intolllcently whether they want It." "It may require all Winter to shape this Instrument." said Adolphe Wolfe. -This Is a very Important affair. Tha most radical chancee will be Incor porated. l out doubt. It Is a very delicate Instrument to draft. It Is very easy to adopt a lot of new thltiKS. but what we want la a charter that will prove of benefit. If adopted by the people. I do not favor rushlnc It through and submitting It to the voters next January." "While I have irtven the subject of submission of the charter but little thousrht." sail Fl C Bronaush, chair man of the charter committee. "I can see already that It la not lone until January . ar. 1 that will not Klve us much time. It la Important to have plenty of time In which to draft the propose! charter and then the people should by all means be made acquaint ed with Its provisions before voting; on It." "County Clerk Fields Informs tne that the law requires the opening of the registration books for a special election. If one Is held January ." said AV. F. Woodward. "He Informed mo It would be very expensive. In view of the Importance of the task ahead of the charter committee and tha Impor tance to tho people of the city that Is Involved In lhl subject. I feel that It would be well to postpone the elec tion until the next reirular election. November. 15 II. Mayor Kushllaht and the other offtcera elected with Mm. I think, have some claims. It would not be rtsht to lorn -.lata them out of office rltt-ht away after their election. After the proposed charter la completed bX us. there should b ample tlm for the people to become familiar with It be fore they vote on It." "I am la favor of pushlns: the work as rapidly as possible." said Dr. An drew C. Smith. "I can see no use in postponing; the subject. I believe we should et every one Interested In tha charter and put it to a vote right sway." Rnaltllcht l'rjc Early Action. Several members of tha committee) are out of the city at present "I am Just as ranch In favor of early submission of the commission plan now as 1 was before the election." said Mayor Rushiicht. "I am wlllina that the vote shall bo taken at any time. I don't care how short It cuts my term. If the people at a srood charter. An other thin- Is. I don't care how many charters are submitted. If It will re sult In the people iretttns; hotter ser vice. Personally. I would prefer to see fewer submitted, but I am not op posed to submitting; any charter that mar be drafted. I want tha public to know that I stand on my promises mid before election to assist In every way tha early submission of a com mission charter."

Frank .Chrlstopherson. a striking lineman formerly In tho employ of the Mount Hood Railway A Power Com pany, who was Imprisoned In the Coun ty Jail Tuesday night on the strength of a note from Bam Goodwin. City Re corder of Llnnion, reading: "Sheriff Stevons Keep this man seven days and send bill to the town of LInnton." was allowed his liberty yesterday by Judge Oantenbeln. His application for a writ of habeaa corpus was set for hearing before Judge Kavanaugh Fri day afternoon, and In tha meantime he la out on his own recognizance Attorney W. M. Davis, appearing for Chrlstopherson. said that his client was taken before Goodwin at LInnton Tues day night with a atrlkebreaker named Ulackman. who had hit Chrlstopherson on the nose. Without being asked to plead, without a written or verbal com plaint of any kind being Introduced In the case. Chrlstopherson. his attorney declared, had been sentenced to pay a fine of lit and In default had been taken to the County Jail by City Mar shal Westberg. of LInnton. the only thing In tho nature of a commitment being the scrap of paper referred to, which was Introduced In evidence. Xjoodwin, who Is a tallyman for a lumber company, heard tho case at 7 o'clock In the evening after ha bad finished bis day's work." said Attorney Davis. "He heard a few witnesses and then, to my great consternation, or dered my client to stand up. told him that he appeared to be the aggressor and sentenced him. The other man. the strikebreaker, was let go. Tho scrap of torn paper on which the instructions to Sheriff Stevens were written In pencil, did not satisfy Jailer Phillips. He telephoned Goodwin for a commitment yesterday. The result was that ho obtained a paper written with Ink In which It was set forth that Chrlstopherson had been found guilty of a violation of Ordinance No. 12. of the Town of LInnton. and was sen tenced to seven days In the County JalL Attorney Davis Is still at sea to understand bow the city ordinance could have bea violated, aa the fight between Blackman and Chrlstopherson. a union picket, took place within a few hundred yards of Claremont.
