y Srhoot Board Chosen.
A... The election of officers for various
boards occupied a large part of the
afternoon. The new board of trus
tees selected for the Bishop Scott
School includes Rev. A. W Griffin, of
McMlnnville: Rev. John D. Rice, of Sell
wood, and Walter J. Burns, of Portland.
The former board was Rev. A. A. Mor
rison, of Trinity; Rev. C. W. Robinson,
who was formerly stationed in Oregon
City, but is now in New York, and John
K. Kollock. The school, which was
located in an inaccessible place in Yam
hill County and which was a financial
failure, will be discontinued. Bishop
Sumner, in speaking of the Rev. A. H.
Marsh, who was headmaster at the
school, declared that he wished to give
him every credit for efficient work
and heroic efforts to place the institu-

a Rhodes scholar and has several de
grees attained in Eastern colleges.
Under other conditions, the bishop said,
he would have succeeded.
The bishop reminded the Parish
treasurers that money collected for
missions must not be used for current
expenses and for no other purpose than
that specified.
" Parish Reduced to Mission.
An act of importance of the conven
tion was the adoption of a resolution
to reduce All Saints' Parish to an or
ganized mission after the parish, turns
over to the bishop tfte properties It
possesses. This was deemed advisable
as there are not sufficient funds or
membership to pay a priest for exclu
sive service there.
After several hours of balloting and
counting of votes, the election returns
showed the following results:

MR. SHEPHERD EXPLAINS
ERRORS IN CHARTER DRAFT LAID
TO STENOGRAPHER.
Cr ft. clam by City Attorney Resented
and Effort Declared to Be to
Give People More Authority.
In a formal statement issued last
night by George S. Shepherd, exception
is taken to a statement made by City
Attorney LaRoclie that a proposed
Council manic charter prepared by Mr.
Shepherd and others to submit to the
voters in June is a "jumble of incon
sistencies." Mr. Shepherd explains in
accuracies found in the measure by
Mr. LaRoche attributing some to the
stenographer and others to defects in
the present Commission charter.
Mr. Shepherd's formal statement
reads:
Mr. LaRoche in his report to the press
of the charter submitted to him for criti
cism by the Council undertakes to convey
the impression that the proposed charter
Is a "jumble of inconsistencies," and states
that the committee gathered discarded pro
visions ot the old charter regardless of
meaning or intent.
Mr. L-a Roche's criticisms are entirely
without merit when viewed in the light of
truth and fairness. Taking up the criti
cisms in their order as presented, I will
say that a course In the city boundary was
omitted by the stenographer in the copy
furnished Mr. LaRoche, but In the original
charter left with the auditor the description
is exactly the same as in the present char
ter. This could easily have been ascertained
and more easily corrected.
The provisions as to street extensions
were incorporated on the recommendation
of Mr. Tomlinson, deputy City Attorney,
whom Mr. LaRoche sent to the meeting of
the committee, and these provisions have
never been held Invalid by the courts.
As to appeals of decisions from firemen's
pension fund the whole act is an exact copy
of the present charter provision.
There is no change in the civil service
provisions, in fact all appointments must be
according to these rules.
The provision as to Impeachment of the
Mayor or Council is a safeguard in addition
to the recall.
The Dock Commission is not granted leg
islative powers, the Council and Dock Com
mission should not have conflicting powers.
The provisions are explicit and will save
conflicts of authority.
Section 80 expressly provides that all city
officers except the Council and members of
the Commissions shall devote all their time
to the city during business hours.
Preferential paving petitions are binding
on the Council. It is true, but the committee
deemed it appropriate that the property
owners who must pay the cost of paving
should be considered rather than have a
pavement forced upon them by the Council.
In short the committee has all through the
new charter undertaken to reserve more
power in the people rather than to conserve
it in the council, as the very reasons that
give rise to the movement for a new char
ter prove the wisdom of such a course.
All the objections raised In the criticism
of the charter are political reasons. The
new charter is an assault on extravagant
salaries and monarchical power and doubt
less has aroused a certain displeasure, but
this should not warrant a refusal to submit
it to the will of the people.
The amount of whisky distilled In Ken
tucky fell off two-thirds last year, the de

In Maryland more than 40 per cent. Pro

corresponding decrease in usage is ex
pected in that length of time.

Following Out Law,

Jurors in the courthouse yesterday
expressed strong- resentment at the
charges maae by Circuit Judge McGinn
that the 1915 jury panel was "hand
picked." In Circuit Judge Kavanaugh's
court yesterday, three jurors asked to
be excused if their integrity was ques
tioned.
1 noticed that Judge McGinn had
maae remarks about this jury panel
said William Holz. a juror, when he
took his seat yesterday. "If this court
thinks that I'm biased or not a fit
juror, 1 would rather be excused from

Judge McGinn, for whom I have the

Mr. McGinn Busy In Investigation.
Judge McGinn continued vpstariiar
during leisure moments in looking up
authorities on the selection of juries.
Rufus C. Holman. Countv f!nmmla-
sioner, called on him for a short con
ference. Later, D. G. TomasinI, who was
charged by the commissioners with the
duty of selecting the jury panel, con
ferred with Mr. Holman, and they pre
pared a statement on the manner in
which the jury list was selected.
Mr. Holman called attention to the
fact that the law required jurors to be
selected from the "most competent of
the permanent male citizens of the
county." The statement follows In
part:
,T..he,practlce in Multnomah County, until
3914, had been to have the jury list made
up by the County Clerk, or persons under
his direction, and after the completion of
the same it was submitted to the County
Lourt, consisting or the County Judge and
two Commissioners, for final approval
In January. 1913, the Legislature abolished
the office of County Judge in Multnomah
County and elevated the Incumbent to be a
Circuit Judge. At the same time and by
another act, the Legislature created a sep
arate board of County Commissioners. To
ward the close of 1913 it then became
a question as to whether or not the duty
of making this jury list was transferred by
these laws to the Circuit Conrt, or whether
it became the duty of the Board of County
Commissioners, ot which I was then chair
man. Action Taken In Supreme Court.
To determine that question an action was
started in the Supreme Court to decide prop
erly on whom rested the duty ot making this
list. i
A decision of the Supreme Court was
handed down, in which it was held that
the selection of the Jury list was a part of
the county business as distinguished from,
any Judicial function, and as such it was the
duty of the Board of County Commissioners.
A corps of clerks were put to work at
onre to compile this list of from 20OO to
2500 names In the shortest time possible.
Wo took the first 500O names from the tax
receipts in the order in which the taxes
were paid by them, omitting women, cor
porations, estates, agents and non-residents,
where the same was apparent on the face
of the receipt. No attention was paid as
to the amount of the taxes or the items on
which payment was made. In this list, the
rich and the poor, the proud and the hum
ble, automatically were selected in rotation
as their names happened to occur in the
order in which they paid their taxes.
Drawing This Tear in November.
This list of 5OO0 names was compared
with the tax roll of 1914, and all those
names which did not appear upon the tax
roll were scratched off the list. In this way
about 2000 names were eliminated, leaving a
list of about 3O0O persons" whose names ap
peared upon the assessment roll for 1914.
Then by means of the city directory and
telephone book, lawyers, physicians and
other exempt persons were eliminated.
Jn this way about 200 more names were
taken off, leaving 2640 names on the list of
persons who were qualified by law to act
as Jurors. The lists were then presented to
the Commissioners, who carefully went over
them and reduced the number by actual
selection by taking off 142 more names to
the number required by law, the same to
taling less than 2500 names, which list was
then turned over to the County Clerk in
the presence of Judge Morrow, who wajs at
that time presiding judge.
This year the drawing started in Xovem
ber and continued, with the aid of Mr.
Temasin! and four clerks, for a period of
three weeks or so.

Individual in the 500O names selected asked
to be put on the jury list, nor was any name
put on or stricken off for any personal rea
sons, and I believe a more worthy, represen
tative or competent lot or Jurymen were,
never selected for jury duty, or ever will
be selected.
There has always been a criticism on the
manner in which juries are selected, re
gardless of what method may have been
used, and no ones approval or disapproval
would bear more Influence with mo than that
of Judge McGinn, Tor whom I have th
greatest respect. And yet, I shall continue.

Is pointed out in the present method and a
better way Is recommended for the future.

Boaloa and Objects of Organi

"Support the Oregon Naval Militia"
was the plea yesterday of Adjutant
General George A. "White, who was the
principal speaker before more than 200
members of the Progressive Business
Men's Club and their wives, who en
joyed the opportunity to Inspect the
cruiser Boston and partake of a lunch
eon, the like of which is seldom served
on board a United States ship.
It was a rare occasion, and General
White said it was an honor to have the
opportunity to address the assemblage
of young- business men and their
wives, an opportunity seldom given be
cause the "women generally flock to
the peace congresses."
General White hoped that the visit of
the club would be but the forerunner
of many trips by other Portland organ
izations, that they, too. might see what
is being done and learn the aims of
the Oregon organization.
"The Oregon. Naval Militia has been
misunderstood, but we are aiming that
in the future the people of Oregon shall
know the meaning of the Army and
Naval Militia, their purpose as state
organizations and what they hope to
do," said General White.
"We are a country determined for
peace, but not at any price. We may
sometimes find ourselves in a position
where we would have to fight to main
tain our National honor and demand for
the right, so while we are at peace we
