Dismiss Case

OAKLAND. Jan. 2O.-Police Judge
Smith denied q motion to dismiss a
charge of murder against Fred Jurge-
witz this morning. but in holding the

the defense with an alternative motion
asking bail in case Jurgewitz was
bound over to the superior court

Claude Smith. his employe, is the owner

ploye had attacked him. There had
been i'll feeling between the men be-

ELLIOT fAVORS A
CHARTER CHANGE
Councilman Recommends the
Adoption OF Commission
Plan in Oakland

OAKLAND. Jan pa Business
mans Government for Busy city was
the theme of Councilman Albert H. FL
lots talk before the Tri-City rotary
club at the Hotel Athens today. The
speaker outlined his ideas of what the
proposed new city charter for Greater
Oakland should be.
Elliot advocated the adoption of the
so called commission form OF govern
ment which would place the manage
ment of the affairs of the city on a par
with the management of a great mod
ern corporation.
Let us have a city government
which shall be in fact as well as in
name municipal corporation" he said.
Il would do away with the election
of city counciImen by geographical
sections" he continued. Let the coUn-
cflmen be elected by all of the people
of the city, and make them a manag-
ing board in complete charge of and di-
rectly responsible for the affairs of the
municipality. Let the mayor be a
member of the council. whose duty it
would be TO attend each council meet
ing and preside over the body. Let
us divide the business of the city into
separate departments analogous to the
divisions of a big department store.
and place "a councilman at the head
of each department. Then, with each
councilman responsible for the conduct
of a certain branch of the city govern
ment and checked by the people through
the functions of the referendum and re-
call we would have what 1 consider
an ideal form of government
Elliott also advoca ted the submission
of all applications for public service
franchises TO the vote of the people
These innovations. he declared would
safeguard the interests of the citizens
and tend to keep down the tax rate.
H c. Capweu indorsed the charter
plans proposed by Elliot

ALAMEDA, Jan. 20.-Police Judge r.

possible to sell stocks there against
