SUNDAYS-9. A. M. to 1 2 M Phone Main 2119 Fourteen Years in Portland PUT 30 IN COUNCIL New Charter Board Favors More Numerous Body. WOULD KEEP CITY BOARDS o Kadical Change From Present System of City Government Pro posed "by Committee at Its First Session. More Councilmen. instead of fewer; retention of the Executive Board and the other city boards, and no pay for Councilmen, are some of the features discussed by the new charter board of seven members, at Its first session yesterday morning. That the commit tee will not reccommend anything so radical or out of the ordinary as the committee of 15 did. seems certain. There was no indication of anything very startlingly new for a proposed char ter during the meeting. The commit tee Is not even in favor of abolishing the ward system of representation. Another meeting will be held next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, when the committee on Judiciary, public improve ments and finance will report. P. I. Willis was chosen as president and C F. Wiegand. Deputy City Auditor, as secretary. He served the other char ter committee In that capacity. City Treasurer Werleln Is the sole member of the committee who favors a different system of city govern ment. He made a strong argument for some other plan than the present one, with all of its boards and commissions. Its numerous red-tape machinery, but he was outvoted and cannot hope to secure any such concessions from his colleagues, as they are opposed to any change from the present municipal plan of government. They all oppose the commission scheme, whtch Is the basis for the proposed draft submitted to the Council last week by the com mittee of 15 taxpayers. While it is yet too early to state de finitely as to what the new committee will recommend. It Is already regarded as certain that the body will not pro pose to eliminate any board or commis sion, or seek to lessen the number of officeholders; In fact, it seems that there will be more offices. There are but 15 Councilmen now, ten from wards and five at large, but it was suggested by some of the members of the com mittee that It might be wise to increase the number of Councilmen to perhaps as many as 30; it was thought that 20 councilmen. or about that many, might serve the people more capably than ten would. If the number was Increased, It was Intimated, the committee will recommend that they serve without pay. although this does not meet with unan imous approval. Some of the members feel that the Councilmen should receive t least fair compensation for their services. In all of Ks deliberations. It Is quite certain the committee will keep to the policy of striking a golden medium be tween the present charter and the one proposed by the committee of 15. In an ndeavor to tone down the radical Ideas embodied in the proposed draft, and to cure alleged defects In the present char ter. News Notes of Portland High Schools Xilncoln. THE Athletic Association of the Lincoln High School met Thurs day after school. In addition to he reception of some 40 new members, the principal business was to fill several vacancies in the management. Everett Peterson was unanimously chosen foot ball manager. Sam Holden was elected track manager. Both are prominent in school athletics, Peterson being on the season's basketball squad, and Mr. Holden having played "sub" on the football team. Jay Gunnell, Fred Gets pach and Ernest Vosper were elected to the board of directors of the asso ciation. It was voted that the Lincoln High join with the other members of the Interscholastic League in idding ten nis as a league sport. With such a well-known player as Kenneth McAl pln to lead off. we ought to make a good showing among our competitors. The second assembly of the te.-m wts held Friday afternoon. Messrs. H. C. Campbell, of the Board of Ed'ical i ,n, and Tom Richardson, of the Commer cial Club, gave short addresses, allow ing the students how they might as sist in the movement for a greater Portland. Kenneth McAlpIn, taking advantage of the enthusiasm aroused by the previous speaker, got in a good word for the basketball game that immediately followed at the Portland Aildemy. The event of the week was the bas ketball championship game Friday aft ernoon between the Lincoln High and Columbia at the P. A. gymnasium. The societies adjourned, that their mem bers might attend. The large crowd present showed how great an Interest has been worked up In this Winter sport among the preparatory "rd high schools. The ensuing defeat of Colum bia gave the pennant to Lincoln High, as the team had already defeated the Washington High. Allen Preparatory and Portland Academy. This happy consummation is due to hard work of the squad, to Coach Hathaw.ny's skill ful coaching, and the kindness of .he Portland Academy authorities in al lowing us the use of their gymnasium as a place to practice. The squad will probably take a trip. When the sched ule is arranged, it will be announced. "Washington. ONE of the biggest treats the Wash ington High School students have ever had was the address last Monday morning by Professor George Wharton James. An assembly was called the first thing in the morning and Principal Herd man introduced Rev. Clarence True Wil son, who made a short speech introduc ing Professor James. As soon as Pro fessor James began to talk everyone began to sit up and take notice. The speaker made a few opening remarks that set everyone in a roar of laughter, and before he had gone far with ht speech everyone was in rare good humor. No speaker has ever appeared before the school who seemed to have euch a way of making friendB with his audience and understanding his hearers so well. In fact after he had begun to speak, even those who are usually Inattentive, were listening with both ears. The talk was for the most part on the Great American Desert, the Salton Bea and ofher objects of interest In Southern California, Nevada and places in that Let Us Open an Account for vou.

III ' I -: ; region. Nothing could be more Interest ing than Professor James' description of the traveling mountains of the desert or of the curious springs of water which he has examined. The many stories of his Investigations and explorations were so interesting and pleasing that when he had finished his talk the students arose and demanded that he be allowed to con tinue his talk. Seeing how anxious all were not to get back to their teachers, Mr. James proceeded with his stories, and It was not until he had spoken for some time over a 45-minute period that he ' broke away from his admiring hearers. The whole talk had been scientific and Intensely interesting. Every one honestly felt that the first period had never been so well spent in the whole history of the school. As the dedication of the school was to take place Friday, the Eukrineons held a special meeting Thursday for the purpose of electing their officers for the term. No surprise was expressed when Earl Robinson was elected president, for this had been predicted by every one. Marshal Nisbet was elected vice-president. Henry Bauer was re-elected secretary. Edward C. Garcia was elected treasurer. The fa mous B. S. Houck was elected Sergeant-at-arm. . It' te being whispered around that B. 8. stands for baseball shark, al though some claim that the B. stands for Byron. I Stande Mills, the funny man of the recent minstrel show, was elected editor of the Society, and Lloyd Barzee was elected critic. The Qulllers also elected their officers Thursday. As W. Homer Marls seemed to have given much satisfaction as pres ident and exalted ruler of the society, he was re-elected, while Mary C. Davies was re-elected vice-president for the same reason. Bessie McGaw was elected sec retary and treasurer. As the Qulllers wanted the best possible person for their editor, Edward C. Garcia was promptly boosted into tnai onii-. On Friday the school was dedicated in honor of George Washington, the exer cises taking place In the assembly hall. The opening number was the singing of "America" by the school. The speaker was Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, president of the Portland Commercial Club. By some misunderstanding Dr. Wetherbee had only 15 minutes' notice for his address, but he made a splendid talk Just the same. Next Principal Herdman made a short speech, asking every one to see that the school be known hereafter as the Washington High School.

It Is not ille gal for a labor union to picket a place of business that has been declared "unfair." If the picketing is done In a peaceable manner, according to the decision of Judge Ellsworth, given here, m the case of Joseph Davis, a local restaurant man against the Cooks' and Waiters' Alliance. Because the union posted two pickets in front of his place of business the restau rant man declared that he had suffered a loss of J250. The court admitted the loss, but contended Inasmuch as the union had not brought it about "by unlawful means." damages could not be Imposed.
