A citation was Issued here today for Mrs. Charles O. Lace, widow of an Alaskan mining millionaire, to appear forthwith before the United States court to answer al legations made by W. S. Bliss, a Dtgss Juror, toat Mrs. Lane had attempted to discuss the Digs case with him tws "i fore th Jury returned its verdict. At ths home of Mrs. Lane process servers were told that she had gone to Sau Uie&o and that It was not known when ; she would return. v Juror Bliss yesterday informed Judge Van Fleet that Mrs. Lane called at his . office and after discussing some min lng stocks, told him that Mrs. Caminettl was stopping at her bouse. Then, Bliss alleged, Mrs. Lane attempted to dls- cuss the Disss case with him. Wu Mrs. Caminettl Sr. ; Theodore Roche, f who assisted the .government in ine prosecuuun 01 jjiggs, asserted that it was Mrs Anthon Caminettl, wife of the commissioner ' general of Immigration, who was men tloned by Mrs. Lane in speaking to Juror Bliss. Heretofore it had been generally believed that it was Mrs. JT. Drew Caminettl. Or! the affidavit of Bliss, FederO Jadge Van Fleet Issued the citation - upon Mrs. Lane, commanding her to appear in court to show cause why she should not be punlshva for contempt of court The purported Incident upon which the summary action was based. Is set forth In the following affidavit by Bliss, presented to Judge Van Fleet to day: " "About 12:35 p. m., on August 20. wmie i my wuios una nciing as a juror ' in the Diggs case, I was called up by telephone by Mrs. C. D. Lane. "Mrs. Lane came to my office with in a few minutes. I bad not seen her : for some time and she said she was glad to see me. 1 "She said: Tou stand all right with the newspapers, don't your I replied Yes. I think so. Whyr ' Betas to Discuss case. "She said: Well. inf this case. "I said: 'Well. Mrs. Lane, I cannot talk about this case. We must not talk about that.' I understood her to say that Mrs. . Caminettl is stopping with ii ci. : x min inra. uin mat i must re-' fuse to discuss this case. "She said: "Well. I wanted to see you about a mine I am interested in.' ". "No conversation concerning the ac tion or any of the parties concerned, di rectly or Indirectly, occurred between me and Mrs. C D. Lane, except as here set Tortn. "I have known Mrs. Lane for many years, in ract, ever since I was a boy. Our relations have always been friend ly. Nothing that she said to me during the course ot the conversation In any way affected or influenced my Judg ment as a Juror." Bliss added that he believed Mrs. Lane had merely been indiscreet In making what -was "probably a chance remark." HIGHER DISCOUNT FOR S. P. NOTES IS ASKED Road Wants to Offer Remain der of Stock Certificates at 6 Per Cent Discount, San Francisco, August 21. In an ap plication filed today before the Call fornia state railroad commission, the Southern Pacific company asks that It be allowed to issue the balance of Its $10,120,000 equipment trust certificates. at a discount of 6 per cent Instead of 4 per cent as originally allowed when the loan was approved on April 11, 1913. The railroad pleads the tigat condi tion of the money market. Its attor. neys state in the application that "the condition of the money market is such that the Southern Pacific company will probably not be able to market remain ing certificates on as advantageous terms as heretofore. Market conditions are so constantly changing that it will be necessary to have an additional mar gin of 2 per cent In order that market conditions niay be met." The certificates in question are for rolling stock. . They will provide funds for steel coaches, diners, baggage and postal cars, and observation cars, as well as locomotive equipment. About one half of them have already been sold. It is said that recent threatened re ductions In freight and passenger rates and continual advances In wage pay ments have made investors chary of buying railroad securities, and that foreign capital Is not so ready as here tofore to purchase the bonds of common carriers. This, It is claimed, has re sulted in :noney stringency that has made It difficult for American transpor tation companies to float loans.

The sale brought in nearly $260,000 to the sheep raisers of Central Oregon, and much of the product will be sent to Boston. "It will be the biggest ever."

A number of radical changes In tho present civil service regulations for city employes are embodied, in the new ad minlstrative code as prepared by muni cipal research experts and Which may be put In effect by the city commissioners. Probably the most Important change will be that promoting employes under civil service. At the present time poll tics may play an Important part in pra motions, but with the .new system In vogue it would be Impossible to be pro. moted without passing an examination. To be eligible to such an examination an employe must serve In the tieDart merit at least one year. A special rating or several points win be made for ef ficlency during that time. A new departure for police detectives is also planned. At present men of this department are selected from the regu lar police department. Under the new code any person out side or the department has an equal snow with the uniformed man for a de. tectivs position. An examination for such positions will be necessary. Ef flciency credits are to be allowed the uniformed men. however, for the quality ox ineir worn wnne in tn police de partment , Credits and-Demerits. The code provides that all emDloves under civil service will be given a grad. ng or en points which Is to be known normal. Demerit marks for cow ardlce In the police or fire departments may cause the Immediate dismissal nf an employe. Demerit marks are to bi fixed for violation of establishAii mi. drunkenness, falsification of records, in subordination, wilful mistreatment, slovenly habits and others listed under umiy raung. xne number of marks to be fixed by the head nf th A.mrtn.ni but are not to be more than a certain prescribed number. Ten demerit marks constitute one point of deduction. When the rating of an employe falls below 70 per cent rating on account of demerit marks In a period of one month the employe is subjeot to discharge. Merit marks are to be rlv ceptional personality, bravery and other yumiB. .exceptional bravery on the part ' " '"moye in ine police or fire de partment may be the basis of a rating of from normal to 100 per cent, Suspension to Cause Demerits. If a person under civil service is sua. pended, points will be deducted from normal, according to the number of days the employe Is under the) order. No employe under the new code can be reduced In rank, this applying particu larly to the police department. Time and efficiency records are to be kept by each department, stating the number of hours employed and the spe cial duties required. These records will be transmitted to the civil service board. Copies are to be open for In spection at all times. Cards are now being sent out to all city employes requiring them to answer questions regarding their work. These will contain all of the necessary infor mation required of an employe of the city. W. B. Holton of the bureau of re search carefully went over the new code with the city commissioners yesterday afternoon. To- thoroughly establish the system and give the civil service board definite rules by which to work, It may be necessary to add several amendments to the charter. These questions are now being considered.

Resolution to Broaden Street to 80 Ft; Favor 4 Cent Fare, As was expected,, the . question of widening East Burnslde street caused no end of discussion at .the meeting Of the East Burnslde District Improvement easociatlon yesterday. The upshot was that the-meeting, despite the protests of the opposition who claimed to reflect the views of the, bulk of the property owners adopted a resolution - favoring the measure. The resolution follows: "Resolved, That the East Burnslde District Improvement association fa vors the widening of ' East Burnslde street to 80 feet from the east approach of the Burnslde bridge to Cast Thir tieth street, and that a committee of five be appointed to, devise ways and means of (starting proceedings." Opponents of the resolution declared that Investigation woul4 show that only four of those who voted In favor of the widening owned property along East Burnslde, while all of the nine who voted against the widening are property owners. They all did not wish to go on record as opposed to the. widening idea, but they disapproved of widening to 80 feet Instead of 130 as suggested by the Bennett city plan. The meeting was also at loggerheads as to who should stand the expense of widening the street If It should be done. To make an 80-foot street. East Burnslde must be widened 20 feet, and no agreement could be reached as to from which side of the street the 20 feet should be taken. Some favored taking 10 feet from each side, while some ravored 20 feet from the north side; still others thought it better to take tho 20 feet from the south side. Disagree on Expense. The cost of the proposed Improve ment was another item for opposition. Many of the buildings will have to be torn down, and Several thought the ex pense would be confiscatory. O. M. Prlngle argued that the city should pay the cost Inasmuch as the widening of ine street would be a city-wide Im provement. F. A. Dunham, who Is Interested in East BurnBlde property, was one of the principal opponents of the movement He stated that if the street is to be widened at all. it should be widened to 130 feet as suggested in the Bennett Greater Portland plans. He ssserted he would strongly resist the present movement on the ground that the widen lng of the street but 20 feet would nut Justify the heavy expense. Others who oppose the plan of widening are-W. F. Ryan, John F. Cordray, Albert Klein, n' II. Page and O. M. Prlnglei " ,J . j O.' E. Heints, president of v the ctuw was one of tb strongest supporters of the movement. He predicted that with. In ten years the East Burnslde district would be the principal business district of the east side. He thought that the plan of (taking 10 feet from each sld of the street would be most equitable. He felt ' that the city should Share the exnensa of the Improvement ' Daniel Kern and George K. Flora, other property-owners, favored the widening to SO feet . -. - Atfalnst Publishing1 Resolution, V. A. Dunham registered a strong . protest against giving copies of the resolution to the daily press on the grounds i that It would be grossly un fair to "the property owners, nine-tenths of whom, he asserted, would oppose the Improvement. He stated that the plan of taking the matter to court, as was suggested, would cause a useless ext pense to both factions. - Despite the protest. J. B. Harrington G. E. Welter, Daniel Kern, J. H. Page and F, A. Dunham were appointed a committee to fully investigate and report at the next meeting so to th most advisable procedure to Initiate the movement. A resolution was adopted tenderlns; a vote of thanks to the county commis sioners and Superintendent Murnan for the prompt and efficient rebuilding of the east approach of the Burnaldn . bridge. A resolution was adopted endorsing the ordinance of Commissioner Will H, Daly requiring thetreet railway com pany to sell six "car tickets 'for 25 cent a.
