DELEGATION NOT
Unit ON CHARTER

No radical amendments TO the city
charter bill in the legislature have
thus far been, made BIZ the members
Of the Oahu delegation of the house.
to which the measure has been re-
ferred.
AT a meeting OF the delegation yes
terday afternoon the first 81 sections
of the charter were discussed one by
one and, with few exceptions. were
passed. These exceptions, however.
were not opposed nor did the delega-
ton slide over them because il does
not approve or favor them.
Zone of those passed up refers TO city
officers and provides for the selection
OF six supervisors at large. Decision
on this section was deferred until a
later date, when more time can be
given the question. II is likely that
the 0ahn delegation of the senate
will be invited to take part in the
discussion on this particular section.
In this connection there is also TO
be considered an amendment proposed
by the chamber of commerce which
provides for the election of six super
yisors, three from the fourth and three
from the fifth, and the election of the
mayor at large.
1t is reported In house circles that
the Oahu delegation may split on the
question at the election of supervisors,
some favoring the plan as provided In
the bill, and others the plan in the
charter amendment. Just how the
Democrats are lining mp on the ques-
ton Is not known, bat it Is conceded
by some that the Republicans viii adj
here to the bills provisions.
A compromise is said to be under
way whereby six supervisors will be
elected at large, as well as the
mayor. In addition to this II is re-
ported the mayor will be given the
power to appoint the superintendent OF
city works with the approval OF the
supervisors, and that new office,
that of chief of police, will be created,
this officer also to be appointed by the
mayor. The creation of this office
would take from the hands of the
sheriff the control of the police de-
partment, making the sheriff merely
a civil officer.
The Oahu delegation OF the house
has gone through the charter bill as
far as the section relating to the re-
call. Another public meeting was
to be held at o'clock this afternoon.

POWER TO ORDER EMBARGOES
Neutral Nations Known to Have
Been Engaged in Supplying Ger
many With Food and NUM-
tions Will Be Hit.

Washington June 26.-President
Wilson, by executive order, created the
new export council, better known as
the embargo board. 1t will have com
,lete authority to declare embargoes
m exports from this country and Is eX-
Dected to prove most powerful weap-
m in dealing with the neutral ma
tons that are known to have been en-
ragged in supplying Germany with
sOodstuffs and materials for the manu-
facture of munitions.
Under the presidents order the new
,ouncil Is made up of a representative
# the commerce. agricultural and state
departments AMI of the food admins
ration. The placing of an embargo by
thls newly created organization will
make 1t impossible for neutrals to eX-
port great quantities of foodstuffs ard
other supplies from this country.
Through this powerful weapon the
United States will be able to follow the
exports from this country all the way
% the ultimate consumer.
The new council will have under its
Erection staff of 200 employees to
AIRY on the actual work Of licensing
Exports. This staff will be under the
direction of DIR. Il. II. Pratt, chief OF
he bureau Of foreign and domestic
commerce of the department Of com.
merce. Doctor Pratt 1t is understood
will be appointed by Secretary of Com.
merce Redfield to be representative OF
his department. ON the council. The
work of licensing exports is expected
70 be under way within "a hours.
Exports Are Rushed.
Meanwhile the rush to get exports
cleared before licenses are demanded
continues. Shippers fear that the 'ret
ape" of getting licenses for each car
20 would result in serious delays, ant
IRE trying to get all shipments off tn,
docks before the licensing bureau car
get TO work.
The new export council will decide
all questions of policy relating to eX
ports. 1t will have the power, no
only to head off shipments of commodl
ties to the central powers and to neu
trails, but will also have authority t.
cut off exports of commodities need
ed at home.
The reason for state department
representative on the board Is clear
The state department officials will ad
wise the council as to whether certain
exports can be cut off from certain
neutrals without the danger of giyinj
offense to those nations, and thu
creating diplomatic tension.

proposition for street lights and rates
proposed by the company"
Just what the proposition referred
to may be is not patent. The city
clerk has no record of said PROPOSE
ton but surmises the reference has
to deal with something occurring in
conference between council mem
bers and representatives of the Trac-
ton and Light Company held last
week and of which no record was
made.
New Sweeper to Save Money.
In the opinion of council members
the city of Oskaloosa will be money
ahead by purchasing the Manchester
street sweeper, motor operated. City
Clerk T. II. Carlin informed the coun-
ell that the city has already this sea
son, 1917, paid out enough cash.
charged to the street cleaning fund,
to pay for sweeper. 1t was the
opinion of the council members that
the purchase of the sweeper and the
handling of the apparatus by the city
instead of letting the work to con-
tract was good judgment in the direc-
ton of economy. The city clerk was
instructed to make arrangements for
the shipment and installation of one
of the sweepers in Oskaloosa, if suit
able agreement as to payment for
the same can be made, to protect the
city while the apparatus is being
tested in actual operation. In other
words, the city would pay for the
sweeper in the sums usually paid for
cleaning contract covering period
of about four months
Must Fight Their Own Battles.
1t appears that the Iowa Telephone
Company, in making new route for
lines along South NJ street, has clock
ed horns" with a number of property
owners concerning disposition of
shade trees that interfere with work
or placing of wires. The company
appealed to the city. The council
holds that it has no jurisdiction and
that the matter is one for adjust
ment between property owners and
telephone company. and that the
property owner has rights in the
premises which the city cannot trans
gress.
