"So far as the City Solicitor nnd
Receiver of Taxes clauses in the bill
re concerned 1 think them nn Improve
ment and a step In tho right direction.
Jf they stand In the way of the passage
of the bill, I believe the comtnltteomlKlu
make concessions. The are not vital,
hot essential, but the committee as a
committee, has not taken them up "
Would Klect Sollrltor
One of tho amendments proposed, of
ivhlch Mr. Winston has heard, would
ktrike out tho clauso lo hnvo tho city
Solicitor rnado appointlvo by tho Maor
frnd keep It an elective ofllce, as it is
ht present.
Another amendment which has been
'iL"fllcussed would strlko out the pro-
rf ,jvii iu cmiiiiuuo me oiwco ot receiver
Itel of taxes ami make the collection of

Pity treasurer. Opponents of this
tlause would retain the present sjstem
pf .having the receiver of taxes .1 sep
arate and distinct olllce from that of
city treasurer.
Some slight amendments to the bill
to put "teeth" In the Shern law have
ato ben proposed." The Shern law
originally was drafted to keep tho pollco
and firemen out of politics.
Charter revisionists hoped to make
the measure more effective by Increasing
the penalties for violations.

don Conference
Oithodox friends, nt the third 'ad
journed session, this morning, ot tho
Yearly Meeting for Philadelphia and
vicinity, considered the encroachment of
the pastoral system upon the', original
free ministry system. The meetings nrlu
being held at Fourth and Arch streets.
Tho Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Bt
far has adheted absolutely to the freo
ministry system, under whlcn the preach
ing Is done by members ot meeting, In
distinction to the pastoral system, under
which a minister Is appointed as In
other denominations.
The eiuestlon wan brought up at to
day's session In answer to tho "third
query," In regarel lo tho moral, spirit
ual nnd physical welfaro of members
of meeting.
William C. Allen, of Ban Jose, Cali
fornia, protested agalnBt the lack of en
couragement given to preacners irom
among the younger generation,
"It Is when a lack, of ministers occurs
that the meetings turn to tho pastoral
system as the only means ot saving the
life of the meeting," said Mr, Alien.
Ho pointed out thnt In the past the
system vt free ministry 'had been one
of t)ie distinctive features of the So
ciety of Friends.
Adopteel In New Tork
A lsitlng member of tho New Yorjt
Yearly Meeting, who was present, told
of the adoption of tho pastoral system
by scmic of the smaller meetings there.
He cald that It was tho Intention of all
to go bacl: to the freo ministry system
when this. 1b possible, lie told of a
plan on foot to adopt the tltlo of "sec
retary" Instead of "pastor," because tho
dutles of tho pastor correspond largely
to those of the secretaries of such or
anlzntion8 as the Y. M. C A. It was
agreed that there was no Immediate
prospect of the Philadelphia Yearly Meet
ing turning to tho pastoral system,
though 'there wns always tho likelihood
of such action because of the difficulty
of finding members who felt called to
preach among some of the smaller meet
ings. In the closing minutes of tho second
session of the yearly meeting of Ortho
l5x Friends, of Philadelphia, which met
nt the Meeting House at Fourth and
Arch streets yesterday, the preliminary
report eif the peace commltteo strongly
recommended tho sending of delegates

While, carpenters aro striving with
