DEMERIT PliTTcORED MEMBERS OP FIRE DEPARTMENT SAY SYSTEM UNFAIR. LABOR RELIEF IS COSTLY Commission Finds Expense to Date $20,000 and More Duo Dally. Figures compiled by, City Treasurer Adams, showing that the relief labor ysiem now Deing used to help out un employed laborers with families to sun port has cost the city $20,000 and is stacKing up about J1600 additional ex pense each day, caused members of tne uity Commission yesterday to con sider the atTT!srtlKry of discontinuing the work. The subject was discussed at an informal meeting, but nothing definite was done. It was shown by Commissioner Brewster that men engaged at Mount Tabor Park are costing the city about four times as much to do the grading work there as would be required if the work was done by contract. The same thing.- it was shown, applied to most of the other places where the men are being worked. It is probable that at - another meeting some day this week the Commission will decide either to cut aown on the amount of work ' cut down on the scale of wages being paid the men.

Arrest on Hiiaband'a Charge of Statu tory Offense Ia Restated by Mrs. Lottie Oiler. Mrs. Lottie Oiler, wanted on two charges, mauled two police detectives yesterday and came near escaping from them after they had placed her under arrest in her home at Sixteenth and Savler streets. One received a bleed ing nose and the other spent $4.50 to hae his clothes cleaned of mud which the woman kicked on him during the encounter. Detectives Mallet and Price were sent to her home with a warrant, sworn out by her husband, A. A. Oiler, charg ing a statutory offense. .. They read the warrant to her and started to take her to the police station when she re-Blsted.- Failing to break away from them she kicked mud all over Mallet's new suit, and when Price grasped her arm in the effort to quiet her she hit him in the face, causing blood to flow from his nose. In the midst of the fray, which had shifted its scene from the woman's dooryard to the street, , a taxicab came along and Detective Mallet paid for its hire out of his own funds in order to iue tne woman to the station. After being loaded Into the machine she fought intermittently until the station was reached, when she subsided. She wsb later served with a warrant sworn to by. Frank Rosenthal, a wood yard man, who charges that she stole wood from him. She was released on bail. MASS MEETING IS TONIGHT South. Portland Residents Seek Ex tension of Fourth Street.
