NOIIf IN DEADLOCK
People's Committee Opposed
to Submitting Either Plan
to City Council .
The people' charter committee disin
tegrated last nil ht. Having- . worked
many months and produced two com
mission plan drafts, opposition : to sub
mitting either one or the other to
council today developed laat nlffht In
to an evenly balanced tug of waft
As the matter now atands.wtha ma
jority report on the commission plan
will not be submitted. W. C. Benbow
said last nla-ht he would submit Ms
minority report Independently. The gen
eral committee will not be called to
gether again unless a majority of It
members Indicate desire tor another
session.
The disagreements of ... Individual
members last night were So numerous
and so positive that It qulokly became
evident that no plan on which a ma
jority of the 15 members could agree
would ever ba submitted. fi .
Deadlock Beached.
If the majority report Is submitted
to the council It will be signed by
Chairman Clark, Richard W. Montague,
.George Black and H. G. Parsons as Jn
dlvlduals. In the same way the Ben
bow short draft will be signed by Mr.
Benbow, A. D. Crldga and Dr. C. H.
Chapman. The vote t submit last
night was: ayes Clark, Montague,
Black and Parsons; no Lane, Cridge,
Chapman and Benbow. City Auditor
Barbur and City Engineer Hurlburt,
both of the members of .the general
committee who had been la attendance
at the meeting early in the evening, left
before the vote was taken.
Dissatisfaction with 'the commission
plan as Its various provisions were
agreed upon by a majority of th gen
eral committee is said now pa be cause
cf the deadlock. Dr. Lane resented it
when the mayor, whom he wished
clothed with complete executive pow
ers, was reduced to the level of a com
missioner. City Auditor Barbur was op
posed to making his office appointive.
He thougth It should be elective. ,
Benbow Opposes Plan.
In the same way Deputy City At
torney. Bfinbow was opposed to mak
ing the office of city attorney appoint
ive. A. D. Cridge some time ago gen
erally disagreed with the majority of
the committee and has been working in
behalf of the Wood short charter. He
was In favor of submitting the Benbow
draft as it partook of the nature of the
Wood charter, incorporated some of the
provisions of the majrlty report and
was modeled after the constitution of
the United States. With but one or a
small minority of the committee mem
bers opposing various issues as they
were brought before the general com
mittee, it did not at first become ap
parent that the sum of this opposition
would attain equal voting strength with
the before majority. But as each mem
ber disagreed on soma point in the
charter the Increase in opposition had
a sort of snow-ball effort, picking up
each disaffected member in the onward
course of the committee's work;

GAINS
Fourteen hundred and thlrty-qne stu
dents have been enrolled in the educa
tional department a. of the Portland
Young Men's Christian ' association In
the year, that Is just closing. This Is
an Increase of mora than too ever JJ10,
which had been the banner year of the
institution. From Indications, the next
year will witness even greater Increase.
A large number of new students are
expected to register next Tuesday when
the winter term opens. - it is proDaoie,
however, that the number of new -reg-istratlon
will not be as high as last
year, as this year, .for the first time,
the great majority of students regist
ered laat fall for a course of ; eight
months. Up to this year three-month
courses bad been the rule.
; The new free 'lecture course will
probably b conduoted through tha win
ter, although the details have not been
arranged. -One course will follow psy
chological subjects and the other will
take up economic themes. Tha free
course of lectures for . apple growers
will also beresumed, , beginning a week
from next Saturday night.
Several phases of the T. M. C A. ed
ucational work have shown especially
rapid growth during tha last few
months. One of these la tha day school
which has gained about 60 per cent In
enrollment. This gain has been snared
by the commercial, college preparatory
and boys' departments,' which are the
main divisions of the day school. The

Los Angeles, Dec. 27. Hans
Scollno. a fruit vender, .day by
day has seen the reddest of his
apples fade rapidly to cores as
mocking urchins disappeared
down the street This finally
got on his nerves.
Early today Miss Rose Larsen
came by his stand munching an
apple she had plucked from a
Christmas tree. Scollno made
the mistake of believing that she
classed within the scope of his
feud.
"You steala me beegest red
apple,' he shouted.
Miss Larsen seized an egg
from a case and threw It It
landed full In Ecollno's face and
most of it stayed there.
With a shout like the Gari
baldi guards, Scollno dashed
down the street with Miss Lar
son in full pursuit Both were
arrested.

CLIMBING ABOARD
THE "WATER WAGON"
The Neal Way of Clinching Resolutions of
Excessive Drinkers to "Swear Off.
When Happy New Tear greetings are
heard a few days hence tens of thou
sands will make haste to clamber
aboard the "water wagon." It la an
every-year first-of-January perform
ance. All kinds and conditions of drink
ing men will be in that mighty army
that will "swear off." any them
are already excessive drinkers. They
fully realise, la the moments when they
stop and think, that they are "losing
out" because of overindulgence In
drink. Self-preservation Is the incen
tive that will prompt them to stop.
But most of those who will resolve
without medical help to quit drinking
will be at it again In short order. This
Is history, repeated year after year.
There Is really nothing strange In this.
Tha man who drinks to excess Is car
rying with him a stock of alcoholic
poison. Every drink ha takes simply
adds to the alcoholic poison which his
system Is unable to threw off as fast
as It Is taken on. It is this accumu
lated poison which causes' that Intense
craving and whloh has wrecked so many
thousands of good New Tear's resolu
tions. . r-vi' .
There Is one way of getting on the
"water wagon" and staying there with
out any fear of falling off take the
Neal Treatment . Good resolutions are
all right, but some drinkers suffer tor
tures during their )ong-fougHt battles
for self-mastery. As a well-known bus
iness man advises; t ; t , ,
"To any one who wants to Wt out
drink I would say: Don't he foolish and
try and 'fight It out, with all tha tor
tures of hell racking your body and
aoul for weeks while making the fight.
Take the Neal Treatment and get the
alcoholic poison out of your system In
three days. You wIlU then be In a po
sition to , meet : Mr.' John1 Barleycorn
anywhere and on- equal footing,' fli ; ; ;
. This. same business man had been a
periodical drinker for over 10 years.
' "I managed to get good and, drunk
from two to four times a year," ho said,
"Now tha thought of liquor Is repulsive"
The. hard drinker who "swears off"
needs tho very help which is found in
tha Neal Treatment.
All craving and desire for drink Is
quickly removed by the Neal Treat
ment Three days spent at the Neal
Instituto will prove the most profitable
Investment that a drlnklnar man oan
make. Many a business splendidly
launched on the stream of prosperity
has been wrecked on the rocks of In
attention) due to overindulgence In
drink. Hundreds of business and pro
fessional men. having recognised this
fact, 1 have taken the Neal Treatment
and now are in full control of them
selves. There is abundant evldenoe that
tho drinking man who takes the Neal
Three-Day Treatment climbs on the
"water wagon" to stay.
