J. Nelson Wisner. who n t.o months
fr employed a Stats Superintendent
of Fisheries, has been legislated out of
ffire by ths State Ktsh and Game Cora
filiation. Following a mrrtlni of ths Commit
slon he:j Ihli week. Mr. Wisner was
Informed bjr on member that bis office
bad been abolished and that his services
would not be required after August t.
Commissioners Cranston. Kelly. Ston.
and Hughes were present at the meet
Ins and Commissioner M. J. Kinney ass
absent.
Mr. Wisner. whoss home Is In Orrron
City, was taken by surprise at ths un
expected action of ths Commission, but
when seen today he declined to make
any statement for publication. His
friend, however, are keen In ths belief
fiat Governor West's boasted anti-po-litlcal
Commission Is entirely farcical and
thai Master Ftiii Warden Clar.ton and
Ms po.ttlcal allies were displeased when
ths onV. of tate Superintendent ot
Kitcherles was created and Mr. W liner's
arrolntment was announced.
hs tie poed superintendent was, for
about 1v years, one of the two field
superintendents of ths United States
Bureau of fisheries, working first on
the Atlantic Coast, but a majority of
his service was In ths propagation of
salmon and. trout In the waters of ths
Northwest. It having been In charge of
ths Government operations In Oregon
and Washington.
It Is understood that ths reason given
for Mr. Wlmer's enforced retirement Is
economy, but It Is suspected that this
Is not the real reason, and It Is possible
that after Mr. Wisner has severed Ms
connection with ths Commission on
Aurut 1. bs will be Induced to maks
a statement, which may bs highly In
terestlng.
Oovernor West, when In Oregon City
a fsw months ago. said In a speech that
his new Fish and Gams Commission
should establish a record, that It was
Independent of him. and that tt had
plenty of money to spend In further
ance of Its work. Ths abolishment of
Mr. Wisner office leaves ths Commis
sion without an expert In propagation
work.

NEW RULE ALLURES
Boise 'May Vote on Commis
sion Plan Soon.
LEAGUE IS REORGANIZED
ProtrrrssWeV Preparing: to Circu
late Petitions 'Which Will Put
Question of w Govern
ment Before Feople.
BOISE. Idaho. Julr JJ- (Special.)
Th. commission form of government
agitation In Boise Is still alive, ths
movement having been revived this
week, when a meeting of some of th.
most prominent business men was held
for tha purpose of reorganising th.
"Progressive League of Boise" to cir
culate petitions and present them to
Mayor Frltchman asking that he call
a special election to vote on a commis
sion form of government.
It Is predicted that while a hard fight
will bs mad. In opposition to th. com
mission plan, especially by th. follow
ers of the present administration. It
will carry and that within th. nest alx
months Boise will be operating; tinder
the commission government.
Th. reorganisation of the "Progres
siva League of Boise" resulted In th.
election of the following well-known
business men as officers: President. C
K. Keddock; secretary. (Sustave Kroe
ger: treasurer. Harry Keasler.
When th. "Progressive League of
Boise" first was organized and petitions
were circulated to bring before th.
voters the commission form of govern
ment resolution. It was discovered that
while mors than th. sufficient number
of names had been secured, many of
the petitions were rot Irgally drawn
and It was thouihl best to reoraants.
and circulate new petitions. It was
also discovered at that time that those
opposed to tb. commission plan were
prepared to attack the petitions and
the commission law, raising th. ques
tion of constitutionality.
Th. fact that many of th. larsrer
cities of the country have found the
commission form of greater general
benefit than government by a Mayor
and Board of Aldermen. Is giving th.
movement here Impetus.
fnder ths Idaho commission law
passed by th. last Legislature th. Des
Moines. Oalveoton and Oregon laws ar.
combined. Th. recall. Initiative and
referendum are provided. Five mem
bers form the commission, elected for
a period of aa many years, and th.
chslrmsn of the board holda a similar
position to ths Mayor, but Is given noj
more power tnan any other memoer.
All city positions ars filled by employes
who can pass ths examinations pro
vided. These employes are held In
office not by political pull, which Is
strictly barred by the Idaho law, but
through their ability to perform their
dutlea satisfactorily, and therefor, they
cannot bs removed following th.
chang. of administration, aa has been
the cass heretofore.
It Is believed her. by th. advocates
of tha commission plan that ones placed
under a commission government Boise
will force to th. front more rapidly
and Improvements that ars needed will
be made. Petitions will be placed In
circulation within a few days, a cam

When Beattie was married she said she
had promised to go away. She was in
Norfolk four weeks ago when she met
Beattie by accident. The old lonsrlng
for each other was renewed, she said,
and she returned to Richmond. Since
then she has been with him frequently.
Miss Blnford unhesitatingly related
her relations with Beattie, detailing the
birth of her child when she was 15
years old. In Raleigh, N. C, which she
said was named Henry Clay Beattie
and at whose burial, she said, Beattie
was present.
Father llears Denial.
Undisturbed since his arrest last
night, Henry C. Beattie, Jr.. sat In his
cell today puffing almost constantly at
a cigarette. He telegraphed his father
saying that a statement, sworn to by
his cousin, Paul D. Beattie, accusing
the prisoner of having accepted a hot
gun which Paul had bought at his re
quest last Saturday night, was false.
Paul Beattie and Beulah Blnford
were placed In the Henry County Jail
to be held as witnesses for the prosecu
tion, owing to their inability to give
bond for their appearance.
Police Strengthen Chain.
With Henry C. Beattie. Jr., and his
cousin, Paul D., under arrest, and a
signed statement from the latter that
he bought for his cousin the shotgun
with which young Mrs. Henry C. Beat
tie was killed. In their possession, the
police today started to strengthen, as
far as possible, their case against the
accused husband.
H. C Beattie, Jr., did not seem sur
prised when Informed of the statement
made by his cousin, but said nothing to
Indicate that he would abandon the
story he has told from the first, that
his wife was shot to death by a. strange
man from the roadside while seated
beside him in his automobile. Paul
Beattie went into convulsions when ar.
rested, and was unconscious for some
time.

OIL TANKS ARE STUDIED
PORTLAND COUNCILMAN
SEATTLE PLANTS.
SEES
Fill at Guild's Lake Is Suggested
Site for Establishment of Stor-
age Station.
SEATTLE, Wash., July -22. (Spe
cial.) Councilman Burgard. who has
been here for three days attending the
Potlatch. has been Investigating oil
tanks, especially those of th Union
Oil Company. He Is a member of the
committee of the City Council "of Port
land, which is now engaged in work
ing out the problem of where to place
the oil tanks and warehouses tnere,
After inspecting the Union Oil Com
pany tanks hero Mr. Burgard ex
pressed the belief that their construc
tion and arrangements are ideal and
that there is no danger from explo
sion or fire.
He Is satisfied that, were the tanks
in Portland to be similarly arranged
the people there would be safe and
property would be out of danger. He
Is inclined to believe mat n me com
panles handling oil there can secure
sufficient property on the fllled-in
lands of Guilds Lake or some such
nlace. It would be a satisfactory solu
tion of the problem that is proving so
difficult in Portland.
"As the Union Company's tanks are
arranged here," said Mr. Burgard, "I
consider them perfectly safe. I con
sider them, from the standpoint of -an
Insurance man, safer than many other
establishments. Oil we have studlod
and we know how to handle It. but the
erea.te.st uroblem is electricity. rvow
If enousrh eround can be found, say
on Guilds Lake, I believe the people f
Portland would be satisfied.
"There is no danger- from fire or
explosion, as the modern oil plant Is
built, I am convinced, but it needs
plenty of ground, ventilated buildings.
Of course, I do not wish at this time
to commit myself to any detinue de
cision on this problem, but I am In
clined to believe that the problem can
be solved, as it has been here."
