Tbe charter commission met last night
and adjourned within a few minutes ba
e&uxe there were no committee reports
to consider, A resolution, was adopted
directing all delinquent committees to
bring In their reports by January 1.
Favorable mention Is being made of
a plan which ha been suggested , to
the commission with regard to a new
method of securing; treet Improvements.
The advantages of this plan are evident
in so far as competition In bidding and
uniformity of Improvements are ; con
cerned. v Under the suggested amendment the
city engineer notifies the oouncil when,
ever he thinks a street should ba Improved.-
if hard surface is to be put
down th council calls for bids from all
hard surface paving companies. The en
gtneer considers the bids and makes a
recommendation. Copies of the bids with
the engineer's choice are sent to prop
erty owners who may remonatrate- If
they wIhIi. but may not recommend any
particular pavement themselves.
A-n automatic) bonding act is also con
templated. With such a street improve
ment t act of letting the contract
would 4 Somatically bond the abutting
propertjrtfor a period of 10 years. . , .
All the charter commissioners - are
agreed that the salary Of the city engi
neer should be Increased. ' The salary
recommended will probably be $6u00.
This is not regarded high. Seattlo pays
its city engineer $7800 and allows him
to accept other work.. . -

Mas Who Managed It.
Robert Wilson, superintendent of the
Municipal league of Scranton, Pa., is de
scribed as the man behind the gun. Wil
son, assisted by a private detective,
brought from Scranton, gathered the
evidence and says. the Voters' league la
back of the prosecutions, and it is the
intention to make Pittsburg as clean as
Scranton la today. In making Scranton
clean, Wilson said, prominent men were
committed or were sent to the peniten
tiary for long; terms. ,
The Charges.
The seven councilman. It is alleged,

persons unknown, to secure the passage,

dinances for freeing bridges between
Plttsbura and Allegheny, recently con
solidated; an ordinance for additional
filter beds for the new filtration plant;

man; -Wesson, chairman of the finance
committee; Boffell. chairman of publio

proved the prosecution are: Thomas

SUSPECTS THOUGHT
TO BE BUNKQ MEN
xThe detectives are investigating the
means of livelihood of James Gage and
J. W. Stanley, two suave gentlemen who
were arrested on Morrison utreet last
evening. Stanley, an elderly man, had
175 in his pocket when searched.
"What do you do for a living?" Gage
was naked this morning. "Whatever I
can find to do. I've just come from
San Francisco,"- replied Oage, who the
police have been led to believe Is a con
fidence man. He was asked whether
he would work-in a sewer and said that
he would with pleasure, although his
soft hands belied his words. Bail was
fixed at $100 each, the case to be heard
tomorrow.

possession, and others siding with the
newcomer, whose nam is Flfi.
. James -Russell, vents her (yes, "her"
is correct) spleen on Flfi by grabbing
her by the back of th nok and admin
istering a severe shaking;. As might be
guessed, James Russell la the police
station dog, the name having been se
lected by the daughter of Matron Sim
mons before the little terrier appeared.
That Is why "Jimmy" bears a name un
sulted to her sex.
"Jimmy" filled all wants for a long
time, but finally Miss Daisy Simmons
decided she needed a vicious looking
dog, so Sergeant Klenlin presented her
today with Flfi, a pup of supposed
Boston terrier blood. Flfi Just blinks
her eyes, but James Russell Lowell,
like the petted youngster- who finds a
new baby in the house, resents the In
trusion and maltreats the puppy when
ever she gets a chance.

" Demand Indemnity
Sophs Under. Pledge.
(SprcUl PUpttch to Tba Journal!
Philadelphia, Dec. 23. Taught by
costly experiences, managers of nearly
all the downtown hotels and restaurants
have refused to permit the freshman
class of the University of Pennsylvania
to hold its annual banquet on their
premises.
After making a round of the places
where banquets have been held in for
mer years, the committee in charge yes
terday was forced to confess that they
had failed to make definite arrange
ments at any place.
At the Rittenhouse, Boothby'a and
the St. James the proprietors refused
even to consider the students' proposi
tion. The manager of the Continental
hotel, where the freshman class held its
banquet In 1907, Is understood to hav
said he would take the banquet if the
freshmen give bond for $1000 guaranty
against damages.
.Clarence Kugler, manager of Kugrler's
restaurant, which was carried by storm
by the sophomores last January, made
another proposition. He said he would
take the banquet If the freshman ban-
?uet committee would furnish a paper
rom the undergraduate committee as
suming responsibility for all damages.
Sophs Pledged to Be Good.
And all this, notwithstanding the fact
that the undergraduate committee, con
sisting of all the college class presidents
and the editor in chief of the Pennsyl
vanian, have ruled that the sophomores
shall make no effort to kidnap the fresh
man class officers, or attempt to break
up the feast-
The attitude of the hotel keepers Is ex
plained by the experience of the last two
years. In 1907 the supper was held at
the Continental. The sophomores, after
fallling to capture the freshman presi
dent, Allan Smith, climbed the fire es
cape in the rear of the hotel, on 8annom
street, and gained entrance to the ban
quet hall, where a sharp struggle fol
lowed. The police were called in to put
an end to the fight
Last winter the strife between the
classes was even more Severe. The ban
quet was planned for Kugler's restau
rant and on the morning of the day
set freshmen succeeded in having their
class picture taken. Immediately after
ward the class president. Henry 8. Mus
ser, was whisked away in an automobile
nn4 tatron tn thn rent ml rant.
Then he was secreted in the kitohen i
during the entire arternoon. ine least
was scheduled for 7 o'clock, but before
that time the sophomores learned of It,
and surrounded-the place. An attack was
made from three directions.
One party gained entrance by dropping
from a window of the Land Title build
Ins; to the roof of Kugler'a restaurant
Another entered the place through the
bar, and a third climbed the Sanson)
street flreesoape. .
Cornered rreshman ' rongat.
Cornered, the freshman, fought, back
the second year men until they had j
been -driven from- the diningr room. A i
riot call -was turned In and the DOllce I
arrested four sophomores. Many of the i
students had broken heads and blacked'
eyes. The building was damaged to
the extent of. 1700.
To procure the release of the sopho
mores collection committees went
through the university, and sufficient
money t was paid to reimburse the res
taurant company. The notoriety spread
ing from the riot resulted In strict
measures betas- taken by the university
authorities to prevent class fights at
oanqueis in m future. '
J0HANNSEN DENIES .
ZAP0RA WAS FINED
' (United Press Lu4 WHI
. Tacoma. . Wash- Dec. 23. -Cantaln
Johannsen of the fishing steamer 2a-
lora,. wnicn - nas arrived at this port
rom the fishing banks, emphatically
denies the reports sent out from Van
couver and Victoria to the effect that
the Zanora was seis'd bv tbe natrol
cruiser Kestrel for fishing within the
three mile limit.-' The report stated thaf
Captain Johannspn paid a fine ot $1600
before the. vessel was released.
' "It-is a beautiful falrv tale." savs
Capaln Johannsn. "Wedld not see the
Kestrel or any other craft wihtle we were
fishing. ' Evidently It's another case of
our British rf riends poking fun at us."
The Zapora could not have spent much
time paying fines, for site brought back
one of the largest winter catchea of
halibut on record. 125,000 pounds.
STOLE SO HIS BEIDE
, COULD BUY PRESENTS
(Special Dtipttcb Ti
Oxford, Pa., Dec 23. In order to pro
vide hln bride of a week with money to
buy Christmas presents, 18-year-old
Walter Russell of Hopewell, according
to the police, stole til from a poor
laundress who had saved the money to
pay taxes on the home which she and
her old husband obtained after year of
hard work, . -
As a result, Russell and his wife are
spending their honeymoon in jail, hav
ing been taken there by Constable. Ver
non Rlngler.
. Russell, witnesses said, entered the
house by breaking a window and took
the money from a cupboard. Some one
saw him going into the house and re
ported it.
Russell was arrested and after ' a
"sweating" process It is said confesed
to havlnar taken the naonev that his wife
might buy Christmas presents. The wife
was arrestea as - an accessory, uom
were placed under. $300 bail.
FIND $250,000 WILL
niDDEN IN WASHTUB
(Rrxvlal Mmatch to The Journal. t
Boston, Dec. 23. A will disposing of
1250,000, burled In the bottom of a
wasntuD, was aammea to prooaie to
day by tho superior court. The will
was made by Patrick Monahan, a whole
sale grocer, who died September 29. It
contains about 300 words' and leaves 19
specific bequests. Six of them 'are for
180.000 each to his brothers, there are
18 bequests to charity and one clause
leaves the residue of the estate to his
brothers. '
The will was written In 1902. Mona
han told his brothers they would have
to hunt for It, and never told them
wnfere It was. From the time of his
death until last week the search went
on, until a servant happened to turn the
tub upsldedown.

If the Portland Railway. . Light &
Power company does not pave' Ha por
tion of Belmont street with stone blocks
it will be because tha courts decide that
the city can not make the com Dan v put
in material more expensive than that
used in the rest of the street. The
council by a vote of 7 to 4 sustained
Mayor Lane's veto of the ordinance re
scinding improvement proceedings on
Belmont between Kast Fortieth and East
Sixty-second streets. The contract has
already been awarded .by the executive
board, so the only recourse for the cor-
fiorauon is tne law. and it is aouotrul
f that will afford the railway any re
lief. .
The counsel also sustained the
mayor's veto of two other ordinances.
One of these authorized the executive
board to pay the O. R. & N. $400 for a
rignt or way for a sewer on the east
side. Bakers firemen in the theatres
ordinance failed to pass over the
mayor's head. If Baker had been pres
ent, however, his vote would have given
the necessary two thirds, and the meas
ure would have carried.
Then the Trouble Began.
From Leslie's Weekly.
O'Flanagan came home one night with
a deep band of black craps around his
hat.
"Why, Mike," exclaimed his wife,
"what are you wearing that mournful
thing for?" ...
"I m wearing it for your first hus
band," replied Mike, firmly. "I'm sorry
he's dead."
