WANT REASSESSMENT
CLAUSE IN CHARTER

When the Commercial club consid-
ers the proposed commission charter
tonight an effort Will be made to
have a re-assessment clause added to
the charter so that If at any time in
the future a situation should arise
similar to the one on Jackson street
whereby James Johns and others es-
capped payment for street paving il
will be possible for the city TO make
another assessment and so require
the property owner 10 pay for his Inn
provement.
The clause to be proposed is iden-
teal with the reaSsvssment clause In
the Portland charter and il was sub
mitted to the subcommittee on
streets when that committee was con
sidering the street Improvement see
uon OF the charter now drafted for
Pendleton. However. 4 r. johnson.
who by the way was attorney for
James Johns, opposed the plan ana
through his influence the clause was
omitted. AT the meeting tonight an
effort win be made to have that
clause adopted.
The club meeting this evening will
be for the specific purpose OF con.
sidering the commission charter and
of making such changes in that char
ter as seem desirable All members
OF the association are requested TO at
tend the meeting

Driving his car at a terrific rate of
speed T. B. Eames of Walla Walla
last night ran 1t squarely into tele-
phone pole at the corner of West AL
Ia and Gardn streets and the force OF
the impact was such that the pole,
ten inches in diameter, was snapped
squarely in two fifteen feet from the
ground. Neither the driver nor the
other two occupants, James a. Coop
er and Bud Cornfield, were injured
TO any extent but the strangest part
of the accident was that the car, a
little Ford "louse," instead of being
demolished as might be expected,
came out with only a broken wind
shield and lamps and left the scene on
its own power.
The accident happened shortly after
IL o'clock. Eames, who had been
drinking rather heavily during the
evening, had met Cooper and Corn
field on the street and had volunteered
TO drive them home. Cooper got into
the seat and Cornfield stood on the
running board. After proceeding a
little day down Alta street. Eames
turned the car and started back tow.
ard Main street under full speed.
Approaching Garden street, he d.
rected his car straight for the tele-
phone pole on the northeast corner of
the street intersection. Cooper saw
the impending danger and reaching
down, shut off the power, but the mo-
mentum was so great that the car
proceeded unchecked. Cooper states
that he just had time to brace him
self when the car struck the pole
Cornfield was thrown about twenty
feet and sustained several cracked
ribs. Cooper's hand was cut by the
windshield while Eames bumped his
nose severely.
The overhead wires Kept the bro.
ken pole from falling upon them and
they had backed their car, cranked it
and We're away before the first of the
crowd had gathered Cornfield was
taken to a physician and had his in
juries attended to.
This morning Eames reported to
the police that someone had stolen
his car. The officers found 1t on
Jackson street near the Henry Tay-
lor residence and, upon investigating,
they learned that he had left 1t there
himself Chief Kearney ordered his
arrest and he was fined $50 in police
court this morning on a drunk and
dlsorderly charge. He is a represen-
tative of the Brown-Lewis Harvester
Co. of Walla Wall. He declares he

smith and $4,000 was found to have

THE SEQUEL OF LIFE.

Curiosity has been stirred in many
branches of science by hints of the
addresses which are to be delivered at
the annual meeting of the British
Association in session in England.
Last year the ASSOCIATION president
suggested the secret of the origin of
life. This year Sir Oliver Lodge will
discuss the sequel TO life. 1t is the
center of his system that science
should take account of spirit as well
as matter. and on this theme a new
version of the place of science will be
given. He will assert that continuity
of life is view essential to modern
science.
1t suggests similar movement of
science that doctors and psychologists
are this year devoting nearly all their
efforts to the discovery of mental pro-
cesses. 1t is not without the pale of
possibility that the years are bring
ing amazing revelations TO the world.
