Aftr or two hours of i11irnlon
th member of the Et Fid charter
reunion committee at a maetlnir lt
nlht failed to rerh an agreement on
tlint feature of th commission
:hrter they ar drafting; for ubm'
lon to the doctors In January 111
-Tha points of difforoaca wera whether
thr Mayor should be elected direct by
-the people or be chosen bjr tha Commis
sioners, also whether tha people should
elect the City Auditor or whsther ba
should be appointed by tha fla Com-
rals sionors.
Th dehatan as ta the. Mayor, his
aiectlon ani his duties, was llrely. It
was Introduced by Isaac pwett. who
. suasested tf'at the Mayor should re-
'. esiT an annual salary of 17000. whlla
tha four Commissioners should ba paid
15000. Mr. Pwett araued that the pro
posad commission charter should set
forth specifically
duties of tha
Mivor who- should a elected by tha
people at th same time tha four Com
roiisionera ire'tlecied.
He would hare the Mayor assume
the head of one department of tha city
overnant and at tha same time exer
cise a general supervision over all
otnr department and all. municipal
employes. That the Mayor mlaht make
jcb Investlaatlons as he deemed n

for that purpoee.-

man. Gor A.'Bikclt and H. f Paraona
did not arre with Mr. Swett. Thay coa
ter..ed that five Coran..ssloners should
be sleeted and select one of their num
ber to act as Mayor. They alio wpJ
that the task of apportioning- th work
cf tha various departments among; tha
members of th Commission was a de
tail for live Commissioner themselves
t aare upon. Th election of a
Mayor br any- other aathorlty than th
Commissioners. It waa arfued. and th
clothing of that "officer with greater
powers than were enjoyed by the other
Commissioner, would result in a divid
ed responslbllny and would " opposed
to th commission government plan.

. tha auestlon of whether th City Audi
tor and Municipal Judge should b
elected br the people or appointed by

was aa-reed that tha Cttv Attornev and

as to the proper method for eelecttna

" Judge.
Barhur for Elections.
Cltr Auditor Barhur. disclaiming any
personal Interest In tha dlcusslon. ad
vocated th election of all four of these
municipal officers In tha aame manner
as they ar now selected. He Insisted
that the disposition on the part of the
people was to dispense with the ap
pointment of their public officials by
sAV other authority than themselves
' and in support of his argument referred
to the trend of direct legislation which
contemplates tha direct election of
Tresiaeot as well as United States Sen
ators. Ex-Mayor Lne took Issue with tha
City Auditor and declared that tha
members ef the commission. If they
were to be hd responsible snd ac
countable to tha people for their ad
ministration, should unquestionably be
given the right to appoint municipal
officers who are now elected.
, Mr. Black and other mem hers of tha
committee concurred with Dr. Lane la
the main, although they favored ex
empting the office of City Auditor from
appointment by tha commission. They
contended that th Auditor should be
ejected by the people. Independent of
the commission, for the reason that
this official would be a check on tha
heads of the different departments In
the expenditure of city funds.

GIRL i l IMPERILED
AKRON-ACT FIGHTS FOR HER

Spectators at Carmen's Picnic See
Miss Tiny Broadwlck Strug
gle to Free Parachute.
More than 20.000 people at the Oaks
yesterday afternoon saw Miss Tiny
Broadwlck fight for her life 3000 feet
In the air as she shot downward from
her balloon for IsOO feet . before she
could get her parachute to open.
The girl aeronut essayed a double
parachute drop from a ncight of about
2500 feet, her act being one of the fea
tures arranged fer the carmen'a pic
nic. So many persons crowded about
tha balloon enclosure as she began her
aaeent that the parachute ropes had
to be colled partly , about the balloon.
Aa the inflated bag shot upward one
of. the ropes became entangled around
the folded parachute, but Miss Broad
wlck did not discover 'her predicament
until ahe cut loose for her descent.
The parachute, though It failed to
open, caught enough air to remain up
right and to this alone the girl owes
her life. After, vainly trying . to
wrench the robe loose. Miss Broadwlck,
who is only IS years of age, climbed
on th bar of the trapes swung be
nesth the mass of canvas, and using;
all her strength, tore tne binding rope
away. The second parachute. -In which
she waa to have made a second drop,
she was forced to hold In her arms
while freeing the first one, and when
the canvas finally opened out, the spec
tators saw that she was clinging to
the bar with but one hand.
The girl hung on plucklly, however,
and a second or so later threw off the
second parachute, coming to earth in
one of tha Sellwood atreets. She was
uninjured.
