Maj or Thinks Inclusion of Amend ment Would Be Fatal to Adop tion of 3iew Municipal Code. That the civil service employes of Portland are a political power to be reckoned with was made evident when the charter revision commit tee Monday night, by a vote of 22 to 1, rejected a recommendation of Gil bert G. Joyce, member of a subcom- ' mittee, tnat a drastic amendment be Incorporated in the proposed new charter which would take away the right of a municipal worker to ap peal upon being discharged by a de partment head, Mr. Joyce argued that a member of the city council elected by the people and responsible to them could better maintain efficiency in his department and conduct an eco nomical administration if he had power to remove a subordinate without having such removal sub ject to review. Appeal Provided For. In his proposal Mr. Joyce incorpo rated, a provision to prevent any re moval for political or religious rea sons. It was his contention that if a discharged employe could show that his dismissal had been for either of these two reasons he could appeal his case directly to the cir cuit court. One of the advantages of this. Bald Mr. Joyce, would be that the civil service commission would be relieved of handling a great and in creasing number of appeals, thus constituting itself a petty judicial body. Mayor Baker made an earnest ap peal to the charter revisers to vote down Mr. Joyce's proposal. He said he had served the city under both' the councilmanic and commission form of government for 20 years and that he believed the present civil service provisions should be DREDGES WORK HERE OPERATIONS IX MAIN COLVM BIA CHANNEL ENDED. INVESTIGATION AT END Bitter Opposition Is Expected to . Be Voiced at Gathering of Episcopalians. Some Local Digging to Be Done Before Big Fill at Kelso Is Undertaken. Tne dredges of the Port of Port land, having terminated early sea son operations in the main Colum bia river, where they were sent to assist the government fleet in chan nel work, have been shifted into the harbor to finish some locafc- digging before undertaking a lengthy filling programme at the new Kelso plant of the Long-Bell Lumber company. The dredge Willamette has been assigned to the Inman-Poulsen mill property, to clear sediment away from the face of a new dock there so as to provide adequate water for lumber carriers. The dredge Tuala tin was moved to the Peninsula Lumber company's property to do channel. work and add to a fill being made in connection with future im provement of the property. The dredge Columbia has been ordered to the west side to clear the stretch between the Clark & "Wilson mill and the Supple & Martin shipyard. The dredge Portland has been sent to dig in the east channel at Swan island. It is estimated .that within a month all of those tasks will be ended. In line with previous plans, the Port of Portland ' has entered into an arrangement with the Long-Bell retained substantially as they are. I interests for the use of part of its He further declared that in his opinion the inclusion of such an amendment as Mr. Joyce proposed would be fatal to the. adoption of the proposed charter. This fear was echoed by other speakers, who were clearly of the opinion that an attempt to change the charter provisions of civil -service would invite opposition of a large body of voters, including city workers and their friends. "A number of the charter revision members told me," said Mr. Joyce, "that they believed my proposed amendment was in the interests of better government and that it ought to be passed. They said, however, that they couldn't see how the amendment could be put over. If this is the general attitude of .such a board as that now revising the present charter, I believe it will be difficult ever to achieve any re form for the good of the taxpayers as long as any considerable body of the electorate, such as the Civil Service Employes' association, occupy a political position that en ables them to curt any reform they regard as inimical to their interests. I do not, however, propose to carry j dredging fleet at the ivelso prop erty, where an immense diking project is to be undertaken. The present dike is to be raised around the entire site, on which is to be constructed a strictly modern lum ber manufacturing plant, while within the area is to be included a townsite. In the dredging agree ment it is provided that the daily rental of one of the 30-inch ma- l chines is to be $1000 and for the 20-inch dredge, which is the Port Ian. $600 is to be charged. In the event the dredges are needed for emergency purposes they are to be moved from the scene. At times there may be three dredges engaged there, depending on the conditions elsewhere. In undertaking the work it is pointed out two ends are served, the Long Bill Lumber company being insured the assistance of the port with powerful equipment that will hasten the diking and filling operations, while the port will be enabled to keep equipment going that might otherwise, in view of the comple tion of the principal dredging proj ects shortly, be ordered out of service. The construction Of the new plant (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) NEW YORK. Aug. 28. A move ment focused at present in Grace church, Tenth street and Broadway, where meetings for "spiritual heal ing" have been conducted ever since James Moore- Hickson was here three years ago, will come into national prominence with the presentation at the forthcoming general convention of the Episcopal church in Port land, Or., of the report of a com mission unique in the annals of the church. - For the last three years the joint commission to consider the fuller recognition of the ministry of heal ing has been engaged in an investi gation of the subject. Now It is ready to present its findings for the vote of the convention. Bitter op position is expected in quarters where psycho-therapeutics in reli gion is regarded with suspicion. One of the aims of the commission, it is understood, is to bring about a closer alliance of the clergy and physicians. Clinic la Removed. In this connection a report that Grace church is to open a clinic for the treatment of functional nervous disorders could not be verified today in the absence of Dr. Charles L. Siattery, rector of the parish. The Rev. Eason Cross, curate of Grace church, denied knowledge of any such project, although he dwelt enthusiastically on the Tuesday aft ernoon meetings which have been held ever since Mr. Hickson, com monly known as "the healer." left New York. Several cures have been reported as a result of the meetings, he intimated. "The laying on of hands" is prac ticed with prayer at these services. They -are largely attended by per sons in phsical or mental distress and by the relatives of cripples and invalids who are too ill to appear In person. Their names are sent up to the altar on slips of paper. The officiating clergyman reads them out, praying for the individual cases. Silent Prayer Also Held. There is a silent prayer and a chapter on healing is read. Finally ei;ch one kneels at the chancel rail while the clergyman lays his hand on the bowed head and prays, with specific - reference to the case, for "strength of mind, soul and body." This is about as far as any Epis- i copal church has gone on the ques tion of faith healing, except, where church doors have been opened to the professional '"healer" as in the cfise of Trinity, which entertained Mr. Hickson when he was here. Bishop Manning, who was then rector of Trinity and really launched Mr. Hickson in New York, is known to feel sympathetically on the sub ject. He. is a. prominent member of the commission which is to bring in its findings at the convention in Portland. quired by the animals, eays -the sur vey. Partridges in particular suffer from forest or brush fires. When their favorite places are burned over and their food and shelter are gone they are obliged to seek new localities and race new dangers. Indiscriminate setting of epring fires in the southern states dis lodges deer, opossums, raccoons, foxes, squirrels, rabbits and other animals and endangers ground nest ing birds in the timber, uch as woodcock, pheasant, wild turkey and the whip-poor-will. The woodcock is in some danger of extermination at the present time. It is pointed out, and deserves all possible protection. In seasons of drought forest fires even Invade marshy places and drive out fur-bearing animals as well as waterfowl, and shorebirds, !t has been found. Many think that burn ing results in only temporary incon venience to the game and do not realize that the food' of many birds is largely the seed and berries of the year before. Burning brush also eliminates for months all shelter from natural en emies. Burning of the ground cover In foreste of longleaf and shortleaf pine kills the young trees as they emerge and Tesults in thin,, strag gling growth. The burning of tim ber and other ground cover which should absorb and retain moisture also accelerate the run-off and af reets tne stream ti,ow at aiuereni seasons to such an extent that the supply of fish may be materially de creased. !1 BLAME FIXED TRAFFIC STILL PROBLEM NEW SIGNAL SYSTEM TO BE INVESTIGATED. Commissioner Pier Is Authorized by City Council to- Study Ijos Angeles Flan. Investigation of the Acme traffic system, in vogue in Los Angeies and other cities, whereby traffic is controlled, by electrically operated Remanhores. lights and bells will be made by City Commissioner Pier, on authorization given to him by the city council yesterday. Adoption of such system would mean at least a near one-way system, for to follow such a plan successfully all left hand. turns in the congested district must be elim lnated. ' The system which is now in vogue in Los Angeles has & master control unit on street intersections, where by one officer can direct the mo tion of traffic for blocks, allowing the remaining corner officers to de vote their entire attention to speed ing up traffic and aiding pedes trians. In other words, this system Is the famous New York Fifth avenue traffic plan in miniature. It is the general belief of mem bers of the city council that the time has come for some drastic ac tion on traffic conditions. The commissioners have agreed to make personal studies of traffic conditions and it is quite probable that some remedial legislation will be up for consideration soon. Mayor Baker and City Commis sioner Pier believe that some dras tic method must be adopted and that one-way traffic seems to be the only sure relief.

I simDlv tried to make a change that I be lieved would make for better gov ernment." Amendment Affects Appointments. An amendment, or rather a pro posed one, was adopted to change the manner of appointing the civil service board. This is now ap pointed by the mayor. The amend ment provides that the appointments of the mayor to this board raust be confirmed by the city council. An attempt was made to increase the personnel of the civil service board to five. This was defeated, the revisers deciding that three members, as at present, are enough. Among the important changes suggested by the civil service com mittee of the ..charter commission and adopted by the parent body wa3 one providing that the chief .of police shall be included under civil service. Another amendment adopted would take the chief deputy in the city engineer's office out of civil service, and still others exempt every em ploye of the docks commission from civil service except those in minor clerical positions and stenographers. Temporary workers on emergency construction were also exempted in another proposed provision adopted. Clerks and stenographers in the health bureau were placed under civil service by still another pro posed amendment approved by the revision board. An amendment providing that five instead of three eligibles shall be submitted to the appointing author ity when vacancies or new positions are to be filled was adopted. RIO CONCERT VARIED HATVAI f AN MELODY, SCOTCH SONGS PRESENTED. Silvery-Toned Cornet Solos Also Offered Invisible Audience and High Praise Is Won. Haunting Hawaiian melody, burry Scotch songs of the Harry Lauder variety and silvery-toned cornet solos were all broadcast from The Oregonian radio power Monday night in one of the most varied and enter taining programmes given to the radio fans of the northwest this summer. "Your programme was delightful tonight," was the manner in which an enthusiastic feminine listener ex pressed her feelings over the tele phone between numbers. 'Calls coming in every few min utes proved that many others were of the same frame of mind. The Hawaiian numbers were played by John E. Schefler. guitar; George Kulolia Ballman. ukulele, and Cornell Miliington, guitar, all of whom are members of a local Ha waiian orchestra. The selections played were "Hula Medley," "Boola Boola." "Maui Waltz," "Old Planta tion." "Honolulu March." A special number by- this trio was a yodeling song. "Sleep. Baby, Sleep." sung by Mr. Ballman and accompanied by the others of the trio. The Scotch songs rendered Monday night by W. F. Foots proved a pleas ant surprise to the fans, as they bad highly important step for the wel fare and development of the Co lumbia river's commerce and the attitude of the Port of Portland Is that every aid should be ofered as long as the dredging equipment can be spared. QUAINT LETTER WRITTEN Indian Importer Asks Toy-Makers to .Send Noses With Dolls. WASHINGTON, D. C. American top exporters must send enough dolls' noses and cats' tails with their shipments or suffer deductions for the missing members, according to an original letter of complaint from an importer of Lucknow, India, made public today by the commerce department.

SIR AUBREY REAL YANK California Heir to Title Sells Es state and Hurries Back Home. NEW YORK, Aug. 2S. Sir Aubrey Briscoe, until a few months ago plain "Briscoe, American ranch owner," returned today on the Liverpool, with Lady Briscoe, after disposing of the property in Eng land to which his assumption of the baronetcy entitled him and will re turn to his ranch in California. Sir Aubrey became a baronet through the death of his cousin. Sir Hylton Briscoe. He remained in England just long enough to nego tiate the sale of the Briscoe estates. Then he caught the first boat "back to the states." He intends to take up ranching precisely where he left off, he says. GARAGE, STORE ROBBED Two Men in Auto Get $17.50 and $52 in Two Hold-Ups. Two automobile robbers Monday night held up the night man at the Waldorf garage at Twenty-eighth and Division streets, taking $47.50 from the cash register, but falling to search him for the $55 he carried in his pocket. The same men also visited the Palm grocery at 416 Sixth street, where they-Jield up the proprietor, D. Lleberlch, and took $2S from hi pockets and $28 from the register. EAST SIDE SITE BOUGHT NEW HOME PURCHASED BY WAD HAMS & COMPANY. Building: Now Occupied by Mitch ell, Lewis & Staver to Change Hands Next June. , Negotiations for the sale of the four-story brick building now oc cupied by the Mitchell. Lewis & Staver company on East Morrison, East Second and Belmont streets, were closed Monday, according to announcement made - by Wadhams & Co., the purchasers. The building, which occupies half a block in the central east side district, was pur chased from Drake C. O'Reilly of the Diamond-O Navigation company for a consideration of $150,000. Wadhams & Co. expect to take possession June 1, 1923, and will move their entire wholesale grocery establishment, one of the largest in the city, from Its present location on Fourth street on the west side. Although definite plans for Improv ing and renovating the building have not been prepared, it was an nounced by officials of Wadhams & Co. that tbe- building would un dergo extensive renovation before being occupied by the firm. The announcement that the build ing had been . purchased by the wholesale concern was received witn satisfaction in east side business circles yesterday, for an effort has been made for several years to locate a number of the larger whole sale dealers in the central east side district. Excellent trackage facilities and close proximity to the water front are said to be the strong factors which make the district at tractive for the wholesale trade. S DESTROY G1E FOREST FIRES BIG MENACE TO BIRDS AND ANIMALS. Preservation Also Handicapped by Loss of Tree Shelter and Food Because of Flames. WASHINGTON, D. C.--(By the As sociated Press.) Of interest, in con nection with many reports of de structive forest fires in several sec tions of the country, is a circular of the biological survey of the federal department of agriculture stressing the effect of such fires on game and game preservation. A fire which rages over any large area destroys not only the birds and other game, themselves, but their food and shel ter; and though one may take little interest in" forest fire prevention for tihe sake of preserving the trees, he may be more interested in saving the game and fish. Decrease of one or both of the ele--ments of food and shelter means a corresponding decrease in the num ber of valuable wild creatures. The belief that burning over in certain localities Is beneficial because it promotes new grass, ignores the fact that the grass thus obtained does not compensate for the destruction of. the trees and. shelter and food re- PAJAMA CALLED PASSE Old - Fashioned Nightie Ousts s Usurper From Boudoir. NEW YORK. The pajama, which a few years ago was considered so vampish and naughty, has been cast aside by the fickle Parisians and a new love replaces it the little old fashioned nighty. The pajamas and nightgown ques tion has been the eternal triangle of the feminine fashion world and women have pondered deeply as to which garment should survive. The pajama put up a brave fight during the last month of its ap proaching defeat. It has flown high colors and resorted to all sorts of wanton wiles, and to be ousted off the fashion map by the old-fashioned nighty is certainly downright defeat. However, the old-fashioned nighty has taken on a lot of new fashioned ideas in the way of fur belows and evolved from a stiff nainsook affair into a veritable bauble of misty drapes which ac centuate the feminine figure to the nth degree. The Flirt, a Parisian magazine, ays: "Even those who still wear pajamas speak of them with the re serve with which one mentions a friend who has turned out badly." "Like father, like son" repeats itself in "Like gown, like under garments" in the Parisian markets. Since so many of the latest gowns call for pleatings, the underslips are also developed with pleatings laid over the hips or at the side fronts. Nightgowns are often made with the low empire waistline with pleats falling from the side fronts. The long skirt vogue in Paris has created a demand for the petticoat. The newest of these are hand-painted with bright flower motifs. The hand-drawn underwear which we always attribute to the Parisian designers is again passe and lace in all forms Is being used exclusively. Even black lace is pressed into service and, in some cases, whole garments are made of it. Usually there is a flesh-colored underslip which accompanies these all lace models. - MEALS COST MILLIONS Americans Need Suitcases to "Lug- Money Required to Exist. MOSCOW.

Gilcrest of Pasadena and Stanley Pullin of Carmel, CaL, who were arrested yesterday and charged with man slaughter as the result of one auto mobile , forcing another off the Columbia highway, killing Edwin M. Hill of Dufur and injuring his wife and four children, were vir tually exonerated of blame for the fatality by a verdict of the coroner's jury following a" joint hearing -and inquest held here tonight. The verdict of the jury was: "Edwin M. Hill on August 27 was killed by a fracture of the skull in an .'automobile accident on the Columbia highway, west of The Dalles, when his car went over the grade, the cause being unknown." The finding of the jury loiiowea test'imony given by Ted Sammis Jr.. who said that - while driving be tween Hood- River and The Dalles he kept the machine of the two prisoners in sight, passing tnem several times and they passing him as often during the course of the ride. In presenting the alibi for the two men, he also testified that he had seen another California car driving away from the scene shortly after the accident and that that car carried a pennant, on the lower half of which was the letter "L." This tallied with the testimony of the 12-year-old Hill boy, who had recovered sufficiently to appear in court. There was no such pennant on the car of the prisoners at -the time of their arrest. Although the verdict of the coroner's jury was returned tonight, it will not be until tomorrow that tbe two men will know whether or not they will have to stand trial for manslaughter. The court hear ing in connection wi1jj the affair was not completed, but was aa journed until morning, when District Attorney Galloway will take tne rest of the evidence and announce his decision. The first part of the preliminary court hearing was held in connec tion with the inquest so as- to save duplication. Justice of the Peace Allen swore In the witnesses and he and Coroner Burget acted together in taking the testimony. Both Pullin and Gilcrest said their machine could not have struck the other car without their knowledge and they declared that the first they knew of the accident was when they were arrested in Arlington. Appar ently the scions of wealthy families, judging from their dress and con versation, Pullin and Gilcrest had their first taste of jail today fol lowing a reading of the charges at an arraignment before Justice Allen. They were placed in the county Jail by Sheriff Chrisman. No bail was set and they gave no hint of desir ing such action. Members of the coroner's jury impaneled this morning during the day visited the scene of the wreck, where photographs were taken of the car and the general lay of the land. They visited also Mrs. Hill and the children in the hospital. Mrs. Hill, although seriously in jured, is expected to recover, as are all of the children, who were riding In the car at the time. --y Funeral services for Mr. Hill will be held tomorrow at 2 P. M. Burial will be in the Dufur Oddfellows' cemetery, under the auspices of the Oddfellows lodge, of which he was a member. lOLQ The Two-Passenger .

(By the Asso-; ciated Press.) Bringing the college of medicine and surgery of the Uni versity of the Philippines up to the recognized standard of class "A" colleges of this sort in the United States by revision of the college curriculum, and the establishment of a central nursing school that will double the number of trained nurses graduated annually In the Philip pines, are two of the important measures regarding public health and the control of disease that have come about from the work of Dr. Victor G. Heiser, far eastern rep resentative of the Rockefeller foun dation, since his arrival here three months ago. Dr. Heiser summarized what has been done in a report to Governor General Wood and the director of health. He invited attention to the fact that the health activities of the Philippines are not centralized under one department secretary, as he 'be lieves they should be, and he there fore recommends that the legisla tion to do this, which failed of pass age in the last legislature, be brought up again. The international health board has furnished the services of Dr. Charles N. Leach to the Philippine govern ment for health work, of Dr. W. S. Carter as assistant dean of the col lege of medicine and surgery and professor of physiology, of Miss Alice Fitzgerald as consultant in nursing and of D. W.
