II Members of the council who sup ported the amendment to the fire de partment ordinance, which was killed Monday night, complain bitterly of the action of other member who voted against It. It is stated that these other member themselves asked for the bill, but turned It down when It wa called up for final passage. On the other hand, the gentlemen who voted In the negative declure that they asked for a bill under the term of which the coun cil would ratify the appointee of fire hlef recommended by the committee on fire and water. The bill left the se lection of a Are chief with the coun cil,, providing for the annual election of uch officer at the first meeting In January. Mr. Belland declared that this savored of politic, of which many of the councllmen evidently live In mortul dread. The men who supported the bill Insist that there I more "poll tic" In a committee of three than In the whole council. Apart from all this, however, the defeat of the measure demonstrates for the hundredth time (A dlapntch to the Associated Press from lleneral Oku's headquarters, via Fusan, November 20, said that a Ru' slati woman Red Cross nurse hud en tered the Japanese line Sunday last surrendering, and requesting to be sent to Matsuyuma tn nurse the Rus lun prisoners there. She said she was the daughter of a' Huaslun colonel, and that she had been sent to Japan to care for the officers at Mutsuyamu. It was added that her wish wus granted.) pleases In the council. The Democratic majority seldom If ever gets together, which makes matter very simple for the Third ward member who are so very much opposed to politic. The chance are a substitute bill will be presented at the next session, and It Is probable, also, that it will be killed. Piano Instruction at 7 Exchange.

Cer TheCommerclal-Multnomah Thanks- giving football game was on and off and on again yesterday. Last Satur day the Portlandera were very anxious for a game and urged Commercial to give them the dute. When Commercial finally agreed It waa understood ex penses of the visiting team would be paid. With this understanding Com mercial turned down an offer from an other team. Yesterday the manager of the Multnomah bunch phoned that he woum expect 1100. He waited until Commercial would have no chance to make arrangement for another team and then sent In hi demand. At first the proposal waa turned down, but flnully, out of a desire to provide the people of Astoria with Thiinksglvlng duy sport, the demand wa acceded to.

There will be no tinkering with the charter, if statement of member of the com mittee can be relied upon. Mr. Belland expressed the opinion that proposed al- teratlon should be given publicity inai residents of the city might be afforded an opportunity of expressing their opinion with reference to changes.
