Civil service advocates In the official charter revision commission were out voted yesterday in a n-eetinsr. when a majority tf te committeemen decided to croV.de tui 11 of the fie commission ers contemplated under a commission ! irovernmer.t with a secretary to be ap pointed by tlie commlsaiorers. J. K. Wer:!n made a futile alttrc.pt to de feat th's provision and In explanation f Ms position said he objected em phatically to the creation of these po sitions, which. If Indispensable to a commission government, should be pro vided throiiK.i the civil service regu lations which sroverned the employment of all oter municipal help. "W henever you leave to each com missioner the appointment of a secre tary you wl'.I find htm sectlnit a per son without regard to his qualifications for the place, ar.d for the single pur pus of ( uylne- a political liebt. ' assert, d Mr. Werleip. "These proposed sec retaries should come under civil serv ice regulations by all means." Depatr Auditor Cosrars. Indorsing the position of Mr. Wer Jeln. S. Urutse. -hlef deputy in the Auditor's office, argued that If chosen tinder civil service regulations the sec. retarles to the commissioners would remain In ofth-e through more thun one administration and would prove a valuable asset to the incoming com missioner by reason of their acquaint ance with the department and the status of all business turned over by the preceding: administration. "There Is need for somebody as sec retary to relieve the commissioners of considerable of the detail 'of their work." insisted Rufus C. Holman. "and these assistants certainly should be named by the commissioner and not be subject to the civil service. Any body who has to depend on civil serv ice to hold a Job does not have much ability, anyway." Appolatmeat riaa Wlaa, E. C. Bronaugh. chairman of the committee, waa wining to withhold from the commissioners the appoint ment of a secretary and leave their selection to the clvl! service board If th Mayor's private secretary should be selected In the same manner, but he objected to playing favorites In favor of the Mayor. After a motion by Mr. Werlrln plac ing all private secretaries tinder civil service regulations had failed. Mr. Hol man was successful In a motion leaving to each commissioner the appointment of his secretary. As approved, the com mittee agreed that all employes of the rlty should be subject to clvir service with the following exceptions: All offi cers chosen by popular election and officers appointed by the commission ers: Judges and clerks of election, dep uties in the ntr Attorney's office. City Engineer. Chief of Police, chief deputy In the Treasurer's office, superintend ent of the water department, the Mayor's secretary and the secretary of each of the commissioners. More Dtsraasloa Dae. Further consideration of the civil service feature of the charter will be taken up at another meeting of the committee tomorrow night. Jt has al ready been 'decided to dispense with the Civil Service Board and to have the commissioners act In that capacity. Ther are empowered to appoint an ad visory board of three members who will conduct the examination of all applicants. Employes discharged by the commissioners shall have the right of appeal to be heard by the advisory board, whose findings shall be final. The compensation of the members of this advisory board Is to be fixed by the commissioners. . Following its policy of doing; away with all boards and commissions, the committee yesterday adopted that part of the sub-cummlttee's report abolish ing the Water Board and giving to the commission on light and water com plete supervision of the water depart ment, subject to the commissioners. All extensions In the service shall be made under the direction of the City Engl neer and according to his plans and specifications. Extensions shall be or dered by the commission only when the receipts from the service provided equals per cent of the cost of the extension. Otherwise, all such exten sions shall be made only at the ex pense of the property owners benefited, and then only under the supervision of the City Engineer and In conform ity with his plans and specifications.

' When the Income from such an ex tension amounts to ( per cent of the coat of the Improvement, the commis sioners are authorized to take over the extension as a part of tha water sys tem or the city by paying the original cost of Improvement less 2H per cent for depreciation. The commission is empowered to fix water rates adequate to meet the maintenance and operating expenses, payment of.

Men who gave their names as Harry Thomas and James Burns were also seized. It was with tliem that Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. King went to the resort. Following their arrest they were taken over by the police, who believe them to be members of a gang of pickpockets, which came to Port land from Salt Lake City a few weeks ago. The police are still looKing ior four others, known pickpockets, who are said to have constituted the re malnder of the gang.

Three or four years ago Long was brought back to Portland from Astoria and was convicted on a charge or piac ing a girl In a disorderly house. He served a term In the County Jail.

Mrs. Smith and Mrs. King Bald they wished to come home early in the morning, about 2 o'clock, but their companions demurred.

They asked her for iS to guarantee the taxicab man's fare and sho says she gave the bartender a $20 Fold piece, receiving no change.

Friday night. Holding that the present service com. pels too frequent transfers and makes cars run empty that might be doing a good business and at the same time serving the public needs -better, if routed differently, the property owners advocated sweeping changes in the sys tem, which will be referred through a committee to the Portland Railway, Light A Power Company for consideration. Those present said that the cars for he Union Depot, now running by way Fifth and Morrison streets and Fifth nd Washington streets, could gain time and make closer connections by way of Burnside from Sixteenth street. They also favored more direct connec tions with the North Bank station for the convenience of passengers from Upper Washington street, Portland Heights and surrounding sections, to be effected by laying a third rail on the Twelfth-street track of the United Rail ways and running both on a loop to the North Bank and Union stations by way of Burnside street. Believing- that the growth of build ing activities on Stark and Burnside streets will make the whole triangle between these streets one of the busy sections of the city In future, it was suggested, that the congestion that j would follow would be relieved by transferring to Burnside street some of the cars that now run on Washing ton and Morrison streets. The East Side car service was also discussed and a number of changes in that system will be suggested to the traction company. One plan was to have some of the cars now crossing the Steel bridge and the Burnside bridge looped up Burnside street to Thirteenth. Twelfth or Tenth street, to return by way of Morrison street- This, It was asserted, would be popular with East Side residents because It would give them direct connection with the retail districts of the city, without the necessity of transferring. In discussing the lighting question all who were present at the meeting declared themselves willing to sign con tracts for lights aa soon as the com mittee could bring in a report. They also went on record as favoring the erection of the auditorium on the Atkinson School and Armory blocks, chiefly because they believed that its location near the railway station would be of advantage to delegates arriving at conventions from out of town, and because it would have direct car con nections to all parts of the city. Measures are to be taken by the property holders to rid the lower por tion of Burnstde street of all objec tionable resorts, to make It a favorable section for the better class of retail businesses. The committee appointed on streetcar question Is composed of A. C. Smith, Paul Wessinger, .1. Haak. E. L. Thompson and E. Wemme; on street lighting, F. Wheeler, J. B. Middleton. E. H. Wemme, A. L.

Plans are being made for the development of a 'large water power plant on the South fork of the Coqullle River In this county. M. J. Anderson of Grants Pass, who with his associates. owns the water rights, is now In the city on business connected with plans. It is possible that the whole thing may be sold to one of the big companies, and If this Is not done Mr. Anderson says that with capital he and his friends can command tbey will them selves develop the property. The law requires that work must be started within a given time so there will be no delay. The property has been thoroughly surveyed and representa tives of several companies have exam ined it. Engineers of Byllsby & Com pany of Chicago have recently looked over the property. This company is the owner of the Oregon Power Com pany, operating the local eleatrlc light and power company. Mr. Anderson says it will require at least $1,000,000 to develop the water power, but that It will be the biggest power plant of the kind In Southern Oregon. The plan Is to erect an elec tric generating plant which would be operated by the water power and to transmit by wire the electric power to factories, electric railways or other es tablishments needing electricity.
