EX - SERGEANT APPEALS Chief Clark Relates Failure of Ernest Pechin to Report. "What's the good of a sergeant?" asked Chief of Police Clark last night, addressing Civil Service Commissioners Clark and Caldwell in the hearing of ex-Police Sergeant Ernest Pechin s ap plication for reinstatement, which was denied. What's the good of a sergeant," re- terated the chief, "If he doesn't cover his beat and report on his men; if he doesn't call up the chief and tell him what's going on? Sergeant Pechin never reported to me once. One of the men under him was dismissed because he speut his time in the Commercial Club out in Sellwood and in the saloons." Policeman Sorenson, telephone oper ator at police headquarters, testified that Pechin, as compared to the other sergeants, had reported just as regu larly as any of them."

Persons who commit murder in Ore gon must continue to face death as a possible penalty for their crimes, as a result of last Tuesday's election. The initiative measure providing for abolishment of capital punishment has failed to pass. With only one county in the state Malheur falling to make returns on this question, the majority against it now is 710. The returns from some of these counties are not com plete, but the figures available indi cate the trend of the vote. Vote by Counties Shown.

Baker County . completed its count yesterday and showed that the measure had carried there by a vote of 2444 to 2373. Umatilla County sent in its full report which also was favorable to the measure 3247 to 2995. Other of the Eastern and Central Oregon counties have voted favorably to it, including Harney, Crook and Wallowa. Multno mah County also gave an affirmative majority, but many other counties in Western Oregon voted strongly against it. Even should Malheur County report a favorable majority it is believed that this figure cannot be sufficient to off set the negative lead of 710 shown by the foregoing table. Late figures on the vote for Governor show that Dr. James Withycombe, the Republican nominee, has carried every county in the state with the exception of Crook, and the possible exception of Linn and Union. It was expected that Dr. C. J. Smith, the Democratic nomi nee, would carry Crook. Inasmuch the Democrats had made political cap ital out of the appropriation voted by the last Legislature for completion of the Tumalo irrigation project in that county. Governor West, who was back ing Dr. Smith, assumed credit for the Tumalo appropriation and on the face of the returns seemingly impressed this upon the Crook County people with telling effect. The vote on the Gov ernorship shows? 2844 for Dr. Smith and 1824 for Dr. Withycombe. Wlthyeomne's Total 'Great. Latest compilations give an aggre gate of 116.305 to Dr. Withycombe in the state and 89,931 to Dr. Smith. Grant is the only missing county in this set of figures, but the returns in some other counties are not complete. The same re ports give W. S. U'Ren, the independent candidate, 11,428, but the proportion of U'Ren's vote is not as complete as that of the two others. It is apparent, how ever, that he did not receive more than 15,000 votes in the entire state. It is apparent, also, that Dr. Withycombe re ceived more votes than Dr. Smith and U"Ren together and that his vote will be found nearly as great as that of all , other candidates combined. However, W. J. Smith, the Socialist candidate, was given a bigger vote than U'Ren. Gill, Progressive, and Purdy, non-partisan, received only a few thousand votes Chamberlain 22,772 Ahead. The present lead of George E. Cham berlain, Democrat, for United States Senator, over R. A. Booth, Republican, is 22,772. This is only 17 votes fewer than have been reported for William Hanley, Progressive candidate for the same office. It is evident, therefore, that Chamberlain has received nearly as many Votes in the state at large as Booth and Hanley combined. The pres ent figures are: Chamberlain, 108,288; Booth. 85,516: Hanley. 22.789. However, it is probable that the pro portion of the Hanley vote is not as completely reported as that of the two others. Grant County has not reported its vote on the Senatorship, but the available returns show that Chamber lain carried all counties except Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Harney, Lane, Morrow, Sherman, Tillamook and Wheeler. Booth carried all the aforementioned except- ing Harney, which was carried by Han i ley. it is jtiamey s nome county. ! . I. . l ..-.-. l l . Now that the proposed . abolition of capital punishment has been defeated only three of the 29 measures on the ballot remain safe.

A woman dressed in black passes. A tittle boy runs by her side. She looks up with an expectant eye, like a per son in a daze who would welcome a reassuring word. Women Accept Tragedy Calmly. One addresses to her a greeting in French. She responds volubly. She is a widow. Her husband was killed In the uprising against the aermans. This boy by her side and this neat black dress she wears are all she has left in the world. She does not seem resentful. There is not a tear, not a word of lamenta tion.

Over' each mound have been strewn branches broken from the palms in the huge vase. On smaller mounds, which give some evidence of individ uality, are crosses fashioned from laths. On the upright piece of each cross hangs a German helmet, its varnished outside and its metal ornaments still fresh and bright. On the arms of the cross have been scrawled the words HIER RUHT IN GOTT. and then the name of the soldier thus briefly commemorated, together with the number of his company, regiment and army corps.

Scenes Dull Sensibilities. The observer whose sensibilities are even more than ordinarily acute will find himself passing without conscious emotion through many heavy days of the woful scenes which war has laid upon Belgium and France. Through crowded railway stations the weary trains of wounded crawl, and the sight Inflicts no pang any more. The anxious eyes of disheveled prison- I ers peer out from the doorways of freight cars, and your only thought may be, "Are there any English among them. I wonderr Stretchers are borne softly by.

Down the long, paved corridor of a French public school, which has been turned into a military hospital, comes the wail of a man crying, "Mutter! Mutter! Mutter!" over and over again. A Sergeant passes. "He is coming out of the ether." says the Sergeant. That is all. There is no mother there. You are vaguely sorry. For the moment you cannot summon more. The mind ceases to react upon this multitude of impressions, miseries, anxieties, pains, deliriums. Often and often you think and talk of thj common affairs of life of letters from home, of what newspapers are saying, of a celebrity who was in the town the night before, of something good to eat. or of a good place to sleep in pros pect. You even laugh over a story. There is salvation in that, and you are not aBhamed to laugh. Observer Gripped by Traaedy. Suddenly, in an unguarded moment, the meaning and the tragedy of it all grip a man. He sees a pale nurse bending over a soldier who is trying for shame's sake and for the woman's sake not to moan as she strips the blackened bandages away from his shattered arm. Or he comes upon these new made graves with the little crosses that the wind of Winter so-soon will blow down, The man turns away from you. A sob clutches his throat. In a rush of tears it all comes home to him vivid ruthless, terrible.

DALY'S PROPOSALS TOMORROW. Surplus Funds on Hand Slake Cnt Logical, He Thinks, and Whole ' aale Reduction Sus-geated. To carry into force proposed reduc tions in water rates announced some time ago City Commissioner Daly yes terday completed a new water rate ordinance for the City Council to con sider tomorrow. The measure reduces water rates both for flat rate and metered rate services. The reductions have nothing but have been brought about by reason of a large surplus in the funds of the water bureau. The measure combines into the 50- cent minimum charge for flat-rate users, part of the charges Heretofore made for additional fixtures. Up to this time there has been a minimum charge of 60 cents a month for flat rate services. Charges for fixtures were added to the 50-cent charge. The new schedule means that flat rate users whose bill has been 75 cents a month now will get water for 60 cents a month. A charge of 10 cents a month will be made for each person exceeding ten In a family. Where two families use water from one faucet a charge of 50 cents a month will be made for each family I or sprinkling purposes decreases are made. No charge shall be less than $3. Three dollars, the measure provides, shall pay for the sprinkling of one lot. Reduction of the meter rates also Is proposed. At present the rate is 16 2-3 cents for each 100 cubic feet up to 600 cubic feet. The new rate is to be 10 cents for each 100 cubic feet up to 20,000 cubic feet.

OREGON CITY. Nov. 9. (Special.) The proposed charter amendment. which was drafted and approved by the city- authorities, was defeated at a special city election today by a ma jority of 126 votes out of a total vote of 998. The amendment received a majority in only one precinct. . The amendment proposed a budget system of finance, fixed responsibility for the finances of the city on the individual members of the Council, raised the city levy from 10 to 15 mills and provided for a bond issue to take in all outstanding unpaid warrants. There is a feeling among the mem bers of the Council that after the defeat of the amendment the total ex penses of the city should be kept within the 10-mlll levy, even if drastic cuts be made.
