Logan Introduced a motion ' for the retention of the civil service commission. He said that the report nt tha committee, which was strongly i in favor of this system as it is now conducted, ought to be adopted. -The only way to stop ring rule. ; which is bound to come with the new council, no . matter-how elected. Is to have the commission qualify appointees as heretofore. Otherwise the distrlbu- . tlon of patronage will be uBed as a lever to keep one clique In of flee as long as the city stands," said Mr, Lo- v ran. we cannoi got nj uciici .mcu than we have now In the council. Wo have been up in the clouds, and It la time that we alight from our aero planes. Without the safeguard of a civil service commission the city will face a worse machine than those rlng sters, Joe Simon and Jack ' Mathews, ever dreamed of." Bow, to 2111 Vacancies. The report on the civil service com t mission was read by Dr. Kllot It ' practically asks for the retention of the present system. ' In cases of re moral It provides that vacancies shall be filled by circuit court Judges or If they do not -appoint then By the gov ernor. In cases of removals no appeal Is provided for except when the Incum bent was taken out for political or re ligious reasons. The report of the committee on exe cutive favore the election of only three city offices besides the mayor and council. These are auditor, municipal Judge and treasurer. All 'Others are to be appointive If the report Is adopted. The appointment -of the mayor must be concurred In by five of the council. Several reports were not discussed at the meeting because there wore so few members present that It was thought better to wait until another session of the board, when a larger quorum should be- on hand. Attorney John F. Watt, who was la. dieted by the September grand Jury on a charge of converting $1,000 of a ell enfs ball money to his own use, will either escape punishment or be Indicted by another a rand Jury on a different charge. When the oase was called yes terday morning Dr. William Eisea, the prosecuting witness, testified that Watts stole his receipt for the 11.000 and drew down the bail money. Watts' attorneys claimed that the proaeoutlon had not proved embaalement or "con verting money to his own use','' and the rase was thrown out of court. A charge of larceny may be brought, how ever. It was charred In the Indictment that watts, who had been employed by Dr. Klaen as attorney to defend him for a criminal offense, substituted a paper bond for $1,600 In place of Dr. Elsen's i.ouo "lawful monev or the united States," and that on receiving . the money Watts converted 'it to his own use.

This is denied by Watts. The case was brought before the grand Jury during September and Watts was Indicted. Dr. Eisen is appearing in the case as prosecuting witness. In the oase of the state of Oregon against Dr. Elsen, the physician' was found guilty and fined $500 by Judge O'Day, who la now acting as on of the attorneys for Watts. John Dltchburn and W. W.

Smith was the first witness called. He testified that $1,000 ball was deposited with the county clerk durlnjf October, 1907, and that on January 23, 1908, Watts ap peared with the receipt and drew the money out, substituting a paper bond for $1,600 in place of the $1,1)00. This testimony was objected to by the de fense on the grounds that the hail wu in the form of a certified check drawn up by Dr. Elsen and not lawful money of the United States, as the Indictment charges. The. prosecution endeavored tn Intro duce the check in evidence with the re sult that the same b1ection we murie but the check was allowed to go In temporarily. Lord Dacon Said.
