THE MORNING OREGONIAN. AVEDXESDAT, APRIIi 28, 1915. 11 PENSION ACT READY Council to Pass on Relief Sys tem for Policemen. MEETING DECIDES MATTER Question Not to Bo Submitted to Voters In Juno Ordinance Pre pared by Mr. La Roche Ap proved by Officers. The City Council Is to take action on the question of establishing a relief and pension system for the Police Bu reau instead of the matter being? sub mitted to the voters at the June elec tion. This was decided yesterday at a meeting of the police officials with Mayor Albee. City Attorney LaRoche and City Auditor Barbur. Mayor Albee agreed to introduce in the Council a pension ordinance which has been nreoared by City Attorney laRoche and approved by the police men. The Mayor is to do his best to ret the measure through the Council - as soon as possible. The measure will provide that $30,000 oS the amount taken in as fines in the Municipal Court be placed in the relief and pension fund annually and that policemen be assessed a sum equal to one and one-half per cent of their sal aries. It is expected that the assess ments will pay all the claims and that the $30,000 can be held as a reserve for emergency purposes. Board to Be Created. . The measure will create a pension board, the members of which will be the Mayor, Chief of Police, one police captain. City Auditor and City Treas urer. Whenever a policeman has served 20 years or more and has reached the age of 60 years or has served 25 years and has reached the age of 55 years, he may be retired on half pay, the meas ure will provide. In case of permanent disability, he shall receive half pay until he dies. If a policeman is killed while In the performance of his duties the measure will provide that the widow or children receive one-third of his salary until the widow dies or re marries or until the children reach the age of 16 or are married. ' Sick Benefit Provided. The measure will provide that If a policeman becomes temporarily disabled, he shall receive full pay for for six months. After that he shall re ceive half pay until he recovers. For sickness, a policeman shall receive one half pay for three months. If the sick ness continues more than three months, the half pay is to go on, but there can be only one three-months' period of sickness In any one year. It is the intention to add a section to the measure to provide that the $30,000 shall not be taken from the Municipal Court fines until next year, as the money has been appropriated for this year.

Milwaukie property owners, yesterday issued a statement to the voters of Milwaukie in opposl tion to the amendment to the charter requiring the Council to purchase the two water plants, the Milwaukie Water Works Company and the Min thorne Springs Water Company, which will be voted on next Saturday. It is set forth that an offer of $6500 for the Milwaukie Water Company's plant was rejected and citizens remon strated against payment of $5117 for the Minthorne Springs Company's plant. The committee says that the two com panles want a total of $23,000 for their property and it would be necessary to purchase the third water plant owned by T. R. A. Sellwood for $10,000, mak ing a total of $33,000, which would mean that Milwaukie would have total debt of $82,000. It is asserted that Milwaukie has Bull Run water now and that the vote . will have no effect. MAY 5 LAST CONCERT DATE Steers & Coman Series for Season to Close With Barrere Ensemble. fcL . . Sooert The final concert of the Steers & Coman series, which will take place at the Heiligr Wednesday evening-.

George Barrere, the world's greatest flute player, has gathered together . eight other artists as remarkable as himself on oboes, clarinets, horns and bassoons. The great beauty of the blend of tone and variety of color in duets..trlos and tout ensemble produces enchanting effects that will be wholly new to our local music lovers, who hitherto have heard these Instruments only in large orchestras, where the mu sical possibilities of each instrument were not revealed.

Pendleton, prominent lum- tival whose name has been received in due official form, and she was pre- ented yesterday as the nominee of the Portland Rotary Club, of which her father is president. The nomination of Miss Spoerl was a surprise to Mr. Spoeri, but matters were taken entirely out of his hands by the enthusiastic club members, and the se lection of the Rotary Club mascot and candidate for Queen was unanimous. The photograph and nomination blank of the candidate were turned over to the Rose Festival Board late yesterday. Prior to this nomination blanks for nearly a dozen other young women were received, but none complied with the rules of the contest, and, in conse quence, Miss Spoerl gained the distinc tion of being the first one officially pre sented before the citizens of Portland as candidate to be their Queen in the Festival June 9-11. Pictures Are J-aeVlaRr. The stipulation Is that the nomina tion blank shall be sent in with the photograph of the nominee to the Fes tival headquarters, and in the case of Miss Spoeri alone, thus far, has thi rule been met. It ia expected that several of the blanks that are now in will be followed by photographs today or tomorrow, but. n tne meantime, the Board has reiter ated its request that nomination blanks sent in be accompanied by the photo of the nominee. Miss Spoerl is a senior in Lincoln High School, and is prominent in the various societies of the high school, She is a member of the Multnomah Club and is especially famous locally for her expertness as a swimmer. She was one of the most prominent participants in several of the recent swims that have been held under the auspices of the club. It is probable that several other or ganizations besides the Rotary Club will indorse her nomination and throw their support for her in the election, which will be opened May 1.

BRUNSWICK. '1 Delegation of worn, ox Qnotloned, but Court Decide l.nw Obeyed. The legality of the 1915 jury list of 2134 names was upheld by Circuit Judge Kavanaugrh yesterday In denying a writ of habeas corpus for A. M. Brunswick, a lawyer who is hold in the County Jail under a penitentiary sentence for embezzlement. Had the writ been granted on the argument of W. T. Hume. Brunswick's attorney, verdicts In dozens of Circuit Court civil and criminal suits since last January 'would have been put in ques tion. Mr. Hum contended that the County Commissioners had delegated the work of drawing the Jury list to D. G. Tomaslni. He held that the law gave them no power to delegate this work; that the list was, therefore. Improperly drawn, and Brunswick should be re ed from Jail Because no naa peon convicted by a Jury drawn from this panel. Deputy District Attorney Murphy rep resented Sheriff Hurlburt in fighting against the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus. He contended that the Com missioners had delegated merely the clerical part of the work in drawing the jury list: that the law did not con template that the Commissioners should do the actual work themselves. Chairman Lightner. of the Board of Commissioners, was called to the wit ness stand by Mr. Hume. He said that Mr. Tomasini had done all the work of drawing the list, and that the Board had merely ratified it. In his 11 years of experience as a member of the County Board, Mr. Lightner said, only once had he done any of the actual work of drawing the huge Jury list. Commissioner Rufus C. Holman was not called to the stand, but, by stipulation, his testimony was admitted as corrob orating that of Mr. Lightner.
