BOWEN WANTS LICENSE Applies in Belial f of Notorious EI Hey Saloon. Harry Bowen, proprietor of El Rey sa loon, at 247 Taylor street, yesterday tried hard to secure a license to reopen his establishment, and sent Attorney Ralph Moody to the City Hall to plead his cause for him, but the best that could be done was to obtain temporary relief In the form of reference of his application to Councilman Shepherd, of that ward. It is not likely that Bowen will meet with much success in the matter, practically all the committee being opposed to grant ing him a permit to resume business. His license expired on the lirst of the year and by reason of the disreputablo character of his place, the- committee de clined to grant him a renewal. These applications were favorably rec ommended: A. Moser, 30S Alder: Klein & Neumann. 221 Second; H. S. Fine, at foot of Randolph and Water; Thomas Mc Namee. S61 Morrison; Sebastian Natscher 55 First; F. Story, 41 Third street North; L. Trummer & Co., SOI Bumside; William Manning, S3 Third street North. The following transfers were allowed: L. F.

AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say. Alcazar Beauties at the Baker. The "Alcasar Beauties" Burleeque Company i the attraction at the Baker this week, and are bound to become popular before the week is fairly started. The regular bargain matinee will be given tomorrow afternoon. This company is presented in the reg ular way of first part, olio and burlesque, and is conceded to be one of the banner at tractions of its kind on the road this season. The first part, "The Romance of a Suit Case," is from the pen of Louie Mortimore, and the closing burletta. "A Midnight Dream." la by Charles E. Taylor, and. both are resplendent with beautiful costumes and magnificent scenic effects, with maids, mirth and melody reiging throughout their entire action. "Her Marriage Vow" at the Empire. That "Her Marriago Vow" is scoring very heavily at the Empire goes without the say ing. This Is due to the especially careful rendition given the piece by Charles A. Tay lor's excellent company headed by Miss Alllecn May. As an organization it Alls that place in the melodramatic field on the Weetern Coast that te occupied by the Empire company East in the higher fields. There Is an air of solid lty and surety to the v'ork of the Individual members, not to mention finish that is truly refreshing, and it Is to bo regretted rtbat we are not ofteser visited by organizations of a like caliber. "Her Marriage Vow" will be given the balance of the week with the Sat urday matinee. ADVANCE SALE TODAY. Louis James Will Present Four Plays at the Marquam.

A new transfer system was put in operation by the Portland Hallway Company yesterday morning- which will be of ffreat convenience to the patrons of the line. It will give more transfer points throughout the city with the different branch lines of the Portland Railway Company, while at the same time three new transfer points have been established whero passengers can change from the Port land lines to those of the Oregon Water Power Company. Before, transfers were made only to the main lines and not to the branches. but by the new system this will be changed. It will, for instance, now be possible for a passenger to transfer from the Incoming Willamette Heights or from the Sixteenth-Street line to the Portland Heights line, at the up per end of Washington street, which was not the case before. Other changes nave been made or like nature which wJli make it possible for the travelers to go more readily from one part of the city to the other. Costly Gas-Rate Reductions. PORTLAND. Jan. 15. (To the Editor.) "In the name of all the godn at once," why does The- Oregon! an clamor for another reduction of the rate for gan? Has It not been suf ficiently demonstrated that the consumer has been compelled to pay more money for gas with every reduction that the Portland. Gas Company has ever made? But there are some things that the consumer of gas would like to know the scientific or any reason why the same gas stove, doing the name work, consumed $1.75 worth of gas at per thousand In 1001 and $2.50 worth of gas at $1.15 per thousand in 1005? That is what the consumer la interested in. And the same with lights. Also why It In that the Port land Gas Company is out with a letter to their customers under date of January S. 100C. requesting Mayor Lane to appoint a committee of "hot-air" experts, made up from, members of the Council and Executive Board, to Investigate the conduct of Its business and all causes for complaint and make a report thereon, when tho customer Is only Interested in one matter, and that Is lower gan bills, not lower ga rates (we have had enough of them), or whitewash reports.

LIST OF THE MOST ACTIVE There Arc Many, Too, Who Would Like to Succeed F. C. Barnes in the Position of County Commissioner. Newest of the Republican bomc for Sheriff la that of Dan J. Moore, Mayor of West Seaside, where he owns a hotel, but Is still a resident of Portland, like several of the members of the City Coun cil of West Seaside. Mr. Moore was County Clerk of Mult nomah three, terms, and Is a dirTtor f the Multnomah Athletic Club. Other Re publicans in the running are: W.

Sharkey, Councilman; f. II. Bird; W. A. Story. ex-Sheriff; Penumbra Kelly, ex Shcrlff; A. R. Diamond; George McMillan. Most Active Candidates. Most of the foregoing braves have been in the fight for rome time, the most active of them being Ughtncr. Stevens, Rogers and Storey. Republicans believe that if a nominee can be- chosen at the primaries who will unite the Republican factions he will de. feat tho Democratic nominee, even though the Democrat be Tom Word, not only be cause of the big Republican majority in Multnomah, but also because of factional divisions in the Democratic party caused by Word's policy. Consequently, many Republicans- want the nomination of their party, and are full of hope that they could win out. County .Commissioner, Too. Many Republicans also want the job of County Commissioner, now held by F. C. Barnes, who; successor will be elected in June. Among the aspirants are the following: F. C.

Moore, if the last-named should not run for Sheriff. From present appearances. I R. Web ster will be a candidate for re-election for County Judge, and will not run for United States Senator. This will have an Important effect on other candidates, as several havo been building on the expecta tion that h would run for Senator, and may have the effect of Bwerving them to the raco for Circuit Judge to succeed A. F. Scars. Jr.. who may stay out of i he contest on account of 111 health, or M. C. Goorgc. who In all probability will lx a candidate for re-election. Other as pirants for County Judge are A. T. Lewis, R. E. Giltnor and Waldemar Scton. Aspirants for Circuit Judge arc Robert G. Morrow. C. U. Gantenbein, William Reid and W. H. Gregory- WILL EXPLOIT OREGON FAIR Polished Samples to Be PlHCcd in Offices or Eastern Architects. The Portland Lumber Association has undertaken to exploit the tine qualities of Oregon fir throughout' the East in a most effective way. and incidentally advdrtisc the lumber resources of the state. The association has contracted for about 23, sols of exhibits of lumber to show tho many ways In which Oregon rlr can be utilized In building and finishing opera tions. Each set or exhibit contains seven pieces of Oregon fir. about J2x7 inches. Sam Older, an expert, is now engaged in preparing thoso exhibits. The surface of each piece Is highly polished and made to represent the different kinds of finish ing lumber that are used lit buildings. The sven pieces or boards of each exhibit will show just wliat can be done with the Hr. which is considered the best all-round lumber in the world, and the grain and fiber lend themselves readily to all kinds or finishing, and will represent any kind of material that may suit the desire and taste of the builder. These exhibits will be placed with Eastern architects, so that builders can have the chance of seeing them. Mr. Older said he expected It would take several months to complete the first set of exhibits, and he thought likely that another 2S.0CO might be turned out. Invents an Air Propeller. John B. Cayo. of Portland, Is looking for some men of money to assist him In revolutionizing the shipping Industry of the world. Mr. Cayo Is an Inventor and has worked out the plans for a now pro peller which In his estimation will en able shins equipped with It to make prac tically as fast time across the ocean as that made by the ordinary trains across the continent. The new Invention is an air propeller and works from the decks of the vessels. Instead of from underneath, as do those now In use. The invention has been tried, according to the Inventor, upon the Great Lakes, upon a craft prepared espe cially for the test, and was found to work satisfactorily. Mr. Cayo Is now looking for some man or men to finance the In vention, and would In return turn over one-half of the patent rights for the Uni ted States and Canada. What Mr. Johns AVouId Do.

In answer to thr communication addressed to the present candidates for Governor by Mr. Martin, will say that, under the conditions therein , stated, I would promptly veto the bUL C. A. JOHNS. PROPOSED FISH LI Committee Votes for a Favor ble Recommendation. SOME OF ITS PROVISIONS When It Comes Up Tor Pinal Passage in the Council a Persistent Ef fort Will Be Made to Kill Ordinance. The license committee of the Council yesterday had under consideration the proposed flsh ordinance that had been re ferred to It at the last meeting of the main body, and. after It had recommended its adoption, it did not look like the same measure, as it was so completely amend ed that its author hardly recognized it after it emerged, from the committee's hands. Even at that. It did not seem to meet with general satisfaction, and. while Rushlight voted to recommend favorably, he reserved the right to change his mind when it came up for final passage tomor row afternodh. claiming not to be suffi ciently familiar with its provisions to jus tify immediate conclusion. It is understood that M. C. Mace, the Barnes Market & Packing Company. L. L. Schuman and other large retail" fish dealers will employ every effort to de feat the measure when It comes up to morrow. As amended yesterday, it pro vides: Section 1. Any person. Arm or corporation who purchase or causes other persons to ntl to him. thm or It. at Portland, Or... any kind of fish to be sold or retold in Portland, unless .alii .pran, firm or corporation ha an established place of business In Portland, shall be deemed and held to be a transient fthdealr within the City of Portland. Section 2. It shall be unlawful for anr person, firm or corporation, or any agent or emplore thereof, to conduct buntnera in Port land as a transient flshdealer within the City of Portland, an defined In thin ordinance, with out first obtaining a license to do so. and said license Is hereby fixed at the sum of one hun dred dollars ((100) per year, or fifty dollars ($30) for a half-year. The ordinance carries with It a fine of $100 or a penalty for the violation of any of Its provisions. Prize Apples as Exhibit. The prize apples which were exhibited at the recent convention of the State Horticultural Society, and which have aince the close of that gathering been on show In the windows of a local depart ment store, have been presented to the Chamber of Commerce, and will be added to the permanent exhibit of that body. The apples were taken in charge by the Chamber yesterday, and are now being "embalmed." Later they will be placed In glass jars filled with a colorless pre servative fluid. ' PILOTS FIGHT FO AN OPEN HARBOR Propose to Show Why New Site Should Be Selected for Railroad Bridge. LIVELY HEARING EXPECTED Consensus of Public Opinion, How ever, Is That the Portland & Se attle Kail way Co. Should Not Be Hampered. riLOTS WILL PROTEST. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Port of Portland will hear objections to the application of the Portland & Se attle Kailway Company for authority to construct a railroad bridge across the 'Willamette River at a point about midway between the foot of Swan Is land and St. Johns. The river pilots will vigorously protest against the granting of the application for the alleged reason that a bridge at that particular point will prove a hindrance to shipping as the channel is so nar row as to prohibit the anchoring of large vessels in case of necessity by reason of the draw being held up by passing trains or other causes liable to arise. The hearing will be held in? the rooms of the commission at the City Hall and a large attendance Is ex pected. Members of the Port of Portland have been looking into the matter, but so far are still undecided as to the merit of the protest of the pilot, copies of which have already been submitted for their perusal. TVhile everybody i3 anxious for the Portland & Seattle Railway Company to enter Portland, a number of men Inter ested In shipping are firm In the opinion that the question of locating a site for the proposed bridge across the Willam ette should be seriously considered beforo belnjr definitely settled. The matter is ono of great Importance, they say, and should be thoroughly Investigated before a con clusion Is reached. Representatives of the railroad declare that it is not the intention of the company to enter Port land and then lock the door, as nothing could be jmined thereby, and they believe that the bridge will cause very little In convenience to shipping, although they concede that, no matter where located, a bridge will cause some inconvenience IC that part of It is to be considered In preference to the advantages. Other Side of Case. There are many, too, who believe the site well chosen, and they say that if the condition of the channel is stich at the foot of Swan Island as to crowd large ves sels In case of delay caused by the bridge, the channel could easily be widened by dredging until a safe anchorage is ob tained. E. T. Williams, vice-president of the North Pacific Lumber Company, be lieves the site suitable. He said: "I think as long as a bridge has to go below the steel bridge to accommodate the rail road, the site chosen Is as good as any that could be selected. Every bridge In terferes somewhat with shipping, but the advantages of the railroad will outweigh the disadvantages of the bridge. I do rot bcllere It will prove so great an ob stable as It is- made to appear. "When the Morrlson-strtet bridge was being talked of. the late Governor Pennoycr wrote yards of protests, asserting that a bridgo across the "Willamette would kill bis mill business In South Portland. Tho Morrison-street bridge was the first to bo built, and prior to Its construction tho mills In South Portland scarcely averaged one ship s cargo of lumber a year. Now we haw four bridges below these same mills-, and from five to ten vessels are continually loading lumber in the upper harbor. So Governor Pennoycr was mis taken when he thought the bridge would put a stop to navigation and shipping." Selection of Bridge Site. J. C. Flanders, attorney for the Port land & Seattle Railway Company, said that his people had requested the location of the bridge at the point desired for the reason that at that particular place It would, in the judgment, of competent en gineers, prove less obstructive than else where. The Interests of the Portland & Seattle Railway Company." he said, "are all above the point at which it desires to cross the river, and anything that would injure other interests would Injure Its own. There Is plenty of room In the river above the proposed site, and, ac cording to my personal judgment, there Is no good ground for the protest of the pilots. Of course, anybody affiliated with the O. RA & N. Co. Is opposed to the bridge." William D. Wheelwright, of the Pacific Export Lumber Company, who Is vltally Interested in shipping, said: "We want to give the railroads every possible facil ity. At the same time it Is to our In terest to see that navigation Is not inter- fered with. Business that will injure ship ping: will Injure the railroads. I would suggest that the railroad bulla, the bridge high enough to allow vessels to pass un der it." Author or the Protest. Captain Harry Emken. who drafted the Probst to be presented by the river pilots, said: "We have not had time to circulate the remonstrance among the shipping peo ple for signatures, but will do so later on. In the meantime It will be signed by the pilots. A high bridge would be all right, but I doubt whether It could be construct ed without enormous expense, as it would have to be about 230 feet above the water In order to accommodate the large vessels now visiting this port. It would probably be all right to dredge the channel to a width that would furnish safe anchorage, but this would prove expensive, too, and so I would see the bridge built either near the Steel bridge, or else in the vicin ity of Linnton, where there is plenty of deep water." Wants Approaches Kept Open. George Taylor, Jr.. of Taylor, Touns & Co.. said: "While I am in favor of all rail roads coming In that can possibly do so. at the same time I have alwavs tai-xn tun. 3tand. and do so now. that the approaches io me imroor snouia always be kept open In- the very freest possible manner. At the present time, to move a large ship or steamer through the bridges, we are compelled to have two towboats for the safety of the vessel, and It appears to me that a bridge across the Willamette at tho point contemplated will be a seVIous in terference with shipping. At the same time, I am giving this opinion simply as an individual, and not as an engineer or riverman, although I know from handling snips that if there is any current in the rivor it Is a difficult matter to handle ships through the bridges without two boats. I would like to see arrangements made whereby the northern roads could cross the river over the Steel bridge. At any rate, the matter should be thoroughlv considered before a bridge Is built. By this I do not mean to go on record as being opposed to the Portland & Seattle Railway entering Portland: not at all." Alfred Tucker, of Meyer. Wilson & Com pany, thinks the proposed bridge will be a hindrance to navigation. He thinks the railroad ought to put the bridge where it will not Interfere with shipping. There are many entertaining the opin ion that the protest of the pilots has been Instigated by the O. R. & N.-Co. and oth ers interested in keeping competing roads from entering the city, and they are anxious to see work on the bridge proceed without delay. PRISONER TAKES TO BRUSH Deputy Sheriff Downey Hns Diffi culty in Uecupturlng; Him. Deputy Sheriff Sam Downey, one of tho rcdoubtables on the staff of one Thomas Word. High Sheriff of Multnomah County, wa3 delegated yesterday to bring in to the County Jail a man known to the of ficials and the residents of Nashville, a small station on the Mount Scott line of the O. W. P. & Ry. system, as Joe La, More, who is wanted on a charge of hav ing induced a small boy named Everett Scully to steal" a bicycle. Downey visited the home of La More about 8:30 A. M. and announced to that individual that he was under arrest. L;i More pleaded illness, and the kind-hearted official, who swears he will be kind hearted no more, gave him ample time to dress and escorted him to the car line. While waiting for a car at Millard's Station to take them to the city, the dep uty became engaged In conversation with several residents of that section, and waa paying but little heed to his supposedly sick prisoner, who, upon the approach of the car, dashed for the brush about 100 yards- away. His captor was so amazed that for a few seconds he could not col lect himself to give chase. When Dow ney finally collected himself, the prisoner was just disappearing in the underbrush, and the deputy gave chase. He fired a couple of shots- with the idea of frighten ing the fleeing man Into halting, but, tho only response he received was several "merry ha-has' from the passengers on the car, and the angry protest of some feathered denizens of the wood near the station whose slumbers were aroused by the desultory fusillade. The deputy dashed wildly into the brush after his quarry, who took care to hold the ends of the limbs, which, when re leased, flew back in the pursuer's face, temporarily blinding him, and knocking off his hat. and the last seen of the Dep uty Sheriff from the car was his bald pate disappearing In the direction of the fleeing La More. As a parting shot, one facetious passen ger called after the official: "Oh. let him go; Maybe he Is only a stool pigeon." Later Deputy Sheriff Downey and sev eral other deputies sent out by Sheriff Wonl captured Ia More and lodged him In the County Jail, where a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor was made.
