' CHARTER BOARD TO MEET Council Also Has Many Important Matters- for Consideration and Session of Executive Board Will Follow. This will be one of the most active weeks ever known in the history of Port land In official circles, beginning to morrow afternoon with committee meet ings of the Council and continuing with important sessions of various official Bodies of the municipality until the end of the week. Perhaps the most signifi cant of all will be the first meeting of the newly-named charter revision com mission, set for Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The City Council meeting of Wednesday also bids fair to be one of the liveliest on record. Beginning tomorrow afternoon there will also be a large amount of official business transacted by Council commit tees. The ways and means committee, the liquor-license committee and the gen eral license committee, all of the City Council, will meet, and the Board of Ed ucation will also hold its regular session. Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock the members of the new charter revision committee will meet in the Council chambers, pursuant to a call by Mayor Lane, who will act as temporary chair man. Organization will be effected, and a policy probably will be adopted to govern the members In their future work. Ik may be that the commission will meet frequently after the first session. Their actions will be followed with great in terest by the public. The Council com mittee on Judiciary will also meet on Tuesday afternoon. The Council will be In session all of Wednesday, and perhaps a portion of Thursday. An immense amount of offi cial business has accumulated since the last session. Some debatable subjects are down for action and It would not be surprising if these take up most of the Council's time. Mayor Lane's request for additional policemen to clean up the North End district and likewise every other district in the city where there are disorderly women, will be an im portant subject of discussion. Inasmuch as some of Us members have already made extremely sarcastic remarks con cerning the proposal, it is thought likely they will take occasion to make caustic flings at the Executive during the ses sion. Thursday afternoon the regular meet ing of the fire commltte of the City Ex ecutive Board will be held and Friday afternoon the Executive Board will hold Its bi-weekly session. THREATEN MEXICAN JUDGE Black-Hand Thugs Send From Pittsburg. tetter MEXICO CITY, Aug. 22. Excitement was caused at police headquarters here yesterday by the receipt of a letter from Pittsburg, written ostensibly by a mem ber of the "Blaek Hand" and threaten ing the life of Judge Juan Perez de Leon. The envelope In which the missive was inclosed bore the printed inscription of the Pittsburg Hotel. Judge de Leon was the magistrate who recently sent two Americans to prison, charged with robbing a bank messenger. It Is believed here that they are members of a dan gerous criminal band who worked In va rious capitals, and that the alleged "Black Hand" letter was from their con federates who escaped and returned to Pittsburg. The police of Pittsburg and Philadelphia will be asked to trace the sender of the letter. Fire in Big Apartment House. CHICAGO. Aug. 22. Thirty families were made homeless today by a fire which threatened the residence district In the neighborhood of West Van Buren treet and Campbell avenue and damaged a three-story apartment building to the extent of J50.000.

Mrs. Mary Kuhns. 66 years old. was carried down a ladder from br rooms on the second floor of the burning building and others were as sisted by the firemen In escaping from the flames.

Harrlnan has been named chairman of a commission to provide ways and metis for the construction of a wagon ro$d to Crater Lake. Gov ernor Chamberlain appointed the Union Pacific magnate to the position because of Mr. Harijf man's enthusiasm over Crater Lake and the resorts of South ern Oregon, He maintains that there are no moijfntalns, rivers or lakes any where else so beautiful, as those of this state,, This is . the first official position E. H. Hangman has ever held in this state, but as he is the biggest, tax payer Ixv Oregon, It is not Inappropriate that Ire, assist in the administration of the a'cate's affairs. While it Is likely he nun not have the time to attend personally to the details of building the ijoad, he has declared his willing ness to do all he can to aid the project and will act In accord with the other members of the commission. . That body Is to seek the best rpute for u wagon road to the famous resort, whether from the Klamath country or from the Rogue River Valley, and out line plans for the construction of the 'thoroughfare. The preservation of big 1 trees along the road, the establishment of road houses or stations, the rent of which, it is proposed, shall go toward keeping up the road, and all other details will be decided by the commission, which will hold . a meet ing within a short time and lay its plans. , Governor Chamberlain's Idea, which is heartily approved by all members of the commission, as well as. others Interested in Oregon's scenic attrac tions, is to provide easier metlhods of reaching Crater Lake, and thus popularizing the resort. The . present roads are considered difficult and It Is the general opinion that better ones should be provided. i The commission Just named, by Gov ernor Chamberlain Is as follows: E. H. Harrlman. L. R. Webster, JJlenry L. Benson, Dr. J. F. Reddy, F. H. Hopkins, Benton Bowere, J. H. Scott. G.; T. Bald win. T. B. Wilcox, W. I. Vawfter, C. S. Jackson, Colonel F. H. Ray. , The members represent allj portions of the state and the Southern Oregon members, have an Intimate knowledge of the country to be tra-wersed and possess information as to ithe best route. All are familiar with road building and its Importance in induc ing tourist travel. - EATilSr RESUMPTION tf LIKELY Kruitschnltt Makes Xo. Promises Regarding Tillunioo'4. Line. That the "Lytle road" to Tillamook will not be completed very sooni Is Indicated by the lack of definite sqatements by either Mr. Lytle or Julius Kruttschnitt, Mr. Harriman's director of maintenance and operation, who returned to Portland yesterday, after a trip lsto the Tilla mook country. We had a nice trip So Tillamook," said Mr. Kruttschnitt. but when asked if there was any prospeat of the early completion of the "Lytle road." he said he could make no announcement at present. Do you regard the Tillamook district as attractive to a rallrotsi system?" was asked. ' 'It is a great country' he said, "par ticularly in regard to tjie timber there. I have never seen sucii timber In my life." , L It is not at all likely that .anything will be done toward tile completion of the Tillamook line until next season at any rate. The season ! so far advanced that but little could bo) accomplished be fore the Winter rains put an end to con struction. However, Mr. Kruttschnltt's conference with MY. Hnrriman this week may result In the mtignate adopting a recommendation that (the Tillamook line be completed next season.

Todav marks ths entry of a new rail road to Oregon, for the California & Northeastern, the Harrlman line being k Kf.nh from Weed. Cal.. will es tablish a new terminus at Caloro, on the state line, today. Dorris. four miles further south, has been the terminus ior some time, but rails will be laid and trains operated to Caloro hereafter. R. H. Dunbar, secretary of the Klamath Chamber of Commerce, Klamath Falls, is in Portland, and he says the presence of Mr. Harrlman in Klamath County Is having the effect of hastening the com pletion of this road. Construction forces have been ordered to rush the work and it is - thought that the .. line will have been completed Into the Klamath marshes by Fall. It la expected that work will be halted there for a while, because the soft marshy ground, after being thrown up by the grading gangs to form the roadbed has to settle to make a solid foundation for the' track. However, all possible speed will be made in construct ing the new road. rT. V. ...... .apmlmiO ralrtMl WlffYl fa combination of the names of the two I states, on account of it being at the di viding line, is 2U miles from Klamath Falls, although It is on Klamath Lake, and better transportation facilities are of fered to fhe Klamath people than ever before. Passengers and freight are car ried to Caloro by boat from Klamath Falls, where they are transferred to the trains, - thus doing away with the long stage rides that have heretofore- made the trip to and from Klamath Falls so tire some. The California Northwestern will un doubtedly be built north through the Klamath County, and on. to Natron, where It will connect with the main line of the Southern Pacific. It is expected that when completed, the new road will itself be made the main line, doing away with the heavy grades and curves of the present line over the SlFklyou Mountains. Trains td Wallowa by October 1. Work has progressed so far on the Wallowa extension of. the O. R. & N. from Elgin to Joseph, 57 miles, that trains will be running Into the city of Wallowa by October 1. Rails will be laid to that place September 1. Wal lowa is half way to Joseph, and is sit uated 30 miles from Elgin. The comple tion of the werk to Wallowa means that the most difficult construction on the extension has been completed. The re mainder of the work Is comparatively eaRy It will not be completed before the end of next season. Police Fire on Strikers. CLEVELAND. O.. Aug. 22.
