The Commission" of FIVE that
will run the city under the new
charter will be composed of a
mayor and four councilmen.
These names are retained because
state laws defining duties and
rights of cities refer to the legis-
lative and executive heads Of
cities in these terms. Otherwise
the names might have been drop
ped.
The mayor will be president of
the council and will have a vote
with the rest on all matters. A
vice president will be chosen by
the council from the members,
who will be mayor in the absence
of the regular official.
The council must meet at least
once week In open meeting for
legislative work. 1t must meet
once a day in administrative ses-
sion. This session will give the
public chance to appear and
various details of administration
can be adjusted on the spot, with
out waiting for week for the
council to meet as is now the case.
This promises to be one of the big
advantages of the new form OF
government. 1t will facilitate
city business and do away with a
lot OF red tape.
This administrative session

Tentative details for the celebra-
tion of Teddy day." when
Roosevelt comes home, including
a reception of the former presi-
dent by President Taft on a re-
viewing stand IN Fifth avenue,
New York, were discussed at the
White House today, when John A.
Stewart, president of the New
York State League of Republican
Clubs, called.
Stewart characterized the pro-
posed reception as "a simple little
affair."" He said that the commit
tee would like to have President
Taft greet Roosevelt if the presi-
dent would consent.
Stewart declared that the re-
ception would not be a political
affair, and that every effort would
be made to avoid any such con-
struction being placed on the
reception.
The spectacle of President
Taft shaking hands with "Bwana
Tumbo" is expected to be one of
the greatest drawing cards of the
day.

CLAWS Made Nine Ugly
Points Extremely Plain
CROSS EXAMINATION DOES NOT SHAKE THEM-THE NINTH
is THAT BALLINGER DID NOT DO
BY w. 8. Couch.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 8.
The testimony of Louis R. Gla-
Wis before the Ballinger-Pinchot OF
committee, testimony unshaken
by cross-examination, brought out
the following facts:
0) Western land grabbers, no.
tably Donald Mckenzie, boasted
before Taft's inauguration that
they would get rid of Secretary
Garfield and his men and fill the
land office with their friends.
(2) CLAWS testified that Rich
ard Achilles Balinger participated
as attorney in the Wilson land
cases, which We're a conspiracy to
defraud the government. A court
decision, made while CLAWS was
on the stand, stamped the Wilson
claims as fraudulent.
(3) Ballinger, though attorney
for land grabbers, was made sec
retary of the interior in place of
Garfield. Ballinger has succeeded
in getting rid of Louis r. CLAWS.
Clifford Pinchot, and other eonser-
vationists.
(4) Bariingcr had urged CLAWS
personally to let up on the land
grabbers, because of their cam
paign fund contributions, before
he became secretary. AS secretary,
he used his authority to hinder
and hamper the CLAWS investiga-
tion of the Cunningham cases.
(5) Ballinger was responsible
for at least three efforts to rush
the Cunningham cases to patent.
While land office commissioner.
he advocated the Gale law, which
would have let the grabbers get
away with these claims. AS sec
retary, he stood for the Pierce
opinion, rendered by his assistant,
which would have validated them.
CLAWS upset this with an appeal
to Wickersham.
(6) Senators Guggenheim and
Hepburn and Representatives Nc
Kinley and McLachlan of Califor-
MIA and Kinkaid of Nebraska
have all been named by CLAWS as
players in this merry land game.
ca The gang could reward as
well as punish. Fred bennett
was made commissioner of the
land office after a visit by Sena-
tor Guggenheim to the white
house. Special Agent Love, who
did not bother the grabbers too
much in Alaska, was made United
States marshal.
(S) Officials of the land Of

been shown telegraphing lunches

try at government expense, the
stuff being designed to picture
Ballinger as a misunderstood hero.
CO.. Balilnger claims that be-
cause he was attorney for Alaskan
coal claims he turned over these
cases to his assistant secretary.
But on April IA. 1909. Ballinger
wrote a letter about the Alaska
cases and saying that HE wants
to take them up '.at the earliest
convenience" This letter is before
the committee. BalIinger told
Taft, and Taft told the public, that
did NOT touch these
cases after he became secretary.

mony with such exhibits as the

that started an investigation
which caused Jonn Ross, "a years
of age, an electrician, to be charg-
ed with bigamy. He has been
living in Portland and wife No.
1 in San Francisco. The second
wife caused the arrest and he is
held in the county Jail under ball
of $1,000.
Ross was married December 23
1909, to Helen Jenkins, with
whom he eloped from California
One evening last week Ross and
his wife became engaged in a
quarrel. She threatened to leave
him, whereupon he replied that he
did not need divorce from her.
.This aroused the suspicion of
wife No. and she took the mat
ter up with the marriage license
clerk of San Francisco. She re.
ceived word that John Ross ha
been married, but the question
was then one of identity.
Continuing her investigation
wife No. 2 took the matter up
with Deputy District ATTORNEY
fitzgerald of Portland, who uues-
toned him. He understood the
questioning to be in regard 10
abandoning. wife No. 1, but did
not suspect the authorities knew
OF his second matrimonial ven
ture. Ross readily admitted hay-
ing a wife and two-year-old boy In
San Francisco but said he was
supporting them, and intended to
nave them COME to Portland.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 9.-Vice
President Whitney of the Brother
! hood of Railway Trainmen, an
nounced today that unless the
eighteen railroads with terminals
in Chicago grant the trainmen's
demanded wage increase before
Saturday, all switchmen and
yardmen employed by those roads
will strike.
He stated that an ultimatum
will be submitted to the roads to-
morrow. If the demand is re-
fused the strike will be called Sat-
urday.
The dissatisfaction with existing
wage scales which was first ex-
pressed among employees of roads
east of the Mississippi river and
north of the Ohio, has spread TO
the roads between Chicago and
the Pacific coast.
10000 Will Strike.
j More than 10000 employees of
the western road, including the
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe, who are members
of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Engineers, have
demanded rs per cent wage in
crease.
Their demand, which was pre-
sented to the General Mana
gers association in Chicago by
Grand Chief w. S. Carter of the
brotherhood. was rejected. Carter
later accepted in behalf of the
brotherhood a counter proposition
to arbitrate.
1t is believed here that the re-
suit of the uliImatum Whitney
stated would be given to the
roads tomorrow will have no lit
tie effect upon the attitude the
representatives of the brother
hood will take in the proposed
arbitration conference.

country home. His gloomy meditations
are broken by the admission OF an Amer
lean. Lucy Carew. who has come to Eng
land to get a study OF the author, but
more especially a synopsis OF his new
suite OF poems. Tempest, angry at being
disturbed, declares he will write no more
and rudely asks her to go. Repenting OF
his rudeness he apologies and offers to
dictate to Lucy, who sits spellbound as
she writes. Tempest induces Lucy to re-
main and read her manuscript to him.
Their interest in one another grows. Tenn

Lady Ormond, with whom his name has

must tell her to go for her own good.

hours with Tempest. with just 30
much distaste did she recall Lady Or

After sleepless night, she let the
following morning go by with no
word or sign to Craven. When the
last Of the interminable hours had
dragged themselves to their end Polly

three dreadful days. They marked
her life with suffering. At the third,
on its early morning, she woke to
hear horse coming up. It was gray
dawn, no more, hardly light, and her
window was clear of shade or blind.
Lying as she was, she could see In
the little mirror the bit OF sky, the
meadow In the mists, and the road.
She saw too the rider who came at a
mad pace and drew rein-Tempest
himself. his soft hat pulled well over
his face. He spoke q second with
Mrs. Ramsdill and left q package in
her hands. and, turning. rode on as
madly as ever knight could from a
belle dame sans merci. The mists
clouded the glass. and Lucy Carew
was weeping when Mrs. Ramsdill
came with the parcel for her. For a
long time she held It unopened, not
daring to break the envelope. She
knew that whatever the contents
might be, the rest OF life would be

would rush to him; then she caught
sight OF herself In the glass In her
nightdress. her disheveled hair.
She remained musing before the
glass. the papers now held to her
breast. "A hand he could love to
guide him." Mrs. Henly had said
guide him! He was her tyrant. her
master! But he would be blind. At
this thought and all that the verses
meant, written half In obscurity and
yet SO illumined-she realized by
reason of her love more perfectly than
the man had been able to do the hor.
ror of his destiny.
The glass reflected her serious and
lovely face, and gradually the sun,
for the only time during that long
day, came out from behind the fog
as the sunrise sent one burst of bright
ness against the clear glass. 1t
startled her-dazzled her-full as her
eyes We're Of visions, and the glorious
luminence hurt her with its cruel
beauty.
'oh. light for you-light for you.

Gradually the brief sunlight passed
and the melancholy aspect Of the
