THE MORNING OREGONI AN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1907. GETS TOGETHER FOR OLD OREGON TO MUSIC'S CHARMS HAVE Commercial Club Holds First Banquet of Monthly Series. DISCUSSES LIVE TOPICS politics Barred, but Everything to Help Development of Oregon Gom How Bishop Scaddlng Was Brought to rortland. The Ret-toprethflr Idea is Infectious, nnd that It is spreading; was shown last nlf?ht. when tho members of the Com- merrlal Club held the first of a series of informal monthly banquets. About ISO mmrer of the club assembled at the dinner, which proved to be a great auccesR. The purpose of this banquet, and those to be held, is to discuss live subjects of public concern and to brlnjar the members together socially. Poll tics and any matters that tend to fac tional differences will not be tolerated in the discussions, the Idea being mu tual enlightenment upon various mat ters that pertain to the material wel fare of Portland and Oregon, the con centration of influence and the promo tion of Kood feeling. Had there been larger accommoda tions, the banquet would have been attended by several hundred more members of the club. Only a certain number could be taken care of, and for this reason the sir.e of the attendance wns limited. Exceptional Interest was taken in It because it was known about the dub that F. W. Leadbettor is about to retire from the presidency, as his term expires next week. Mr. Leadbet ter took a persona! Interest in making the dinner a success, and the members were anxious to do everything to as sist him. Mr. leadbettor has been urged to allow his name, to be used for re-election, but he has steadfastly re fused, as he will be absent from the city for several months this year. His . successor will probably be elected next week by the board of governors. Mr. Leadbetter presided as toastmas ter last nigrht. lie explained that the dinner was due to a suggestion from n. B. Miller, and that he himself be lieved the members should assemble at rcgjular Intervals. Will Strengthen Club. Ha called upon Mr. Miller, who ex plained that he thouK-it that as the Commercial Club was the largest com mercial organisation in the city. Ha Tnembors should express themselves upon public questions. He believed they should gather every month to diR iuss and act upon such affairs of pub lic concern as pending legislation, the Columbia. River bar, the portajare rail road, the proposed railroad commis sion, and many other suhjects. He said he wanted to see the Commercial Club made a power In the community. "For one I decline to enter into any discussion whteh may involve practical questions," remarked Theodore B. Wilcox when called upon. "Nothing could strangle the Commercial Club quicker thsn a discussion that will lapse into political disputes." He explained that it was all well and good to talk and fight politics during the day. but at nlht when the members gathered together they should avoid If possible such subjects. He told of the wonderfully beneficial work accomplished by the executive committee of the Com mercial Club In exploitation work of which Tom Richardson Is In charge. He said the work was bearing fruit. "They're coming, t tell you. and they're coming fast," enthusiastically . declared Nr. "Wilcox in speaking of emigration to the Northwest. "Only a few years ago I could walk down the streets of Port land and nearly every man 1 met I could call by his first name. But I went to the football game New Year's day where there were thousands and thouiuuidn of people and I liint meet more than a dozen persons that I knew." H. M. Cake, ex-president of the Com mercial Club, said that if the dinner, were held an anticipated" politics in 1 i.-. t be eschewed from the discussions, but thought that the members should give their attention to economlo problem and ciiivfit torts of Improvements Duch s trie deepening of the Columbia J-iiver. He spoke of the interest Mr. Leadhetter had taken In the club ever since he had been itx xecutlve head and how faithfully he had worked in raining money for the new eight-story homo of the club which it U planned to dedicate In . October. Club Bronglit 1. irrt to Oregon. Bishop Scadding made a short address. In which he took occasion to say many nice things about Portland and Oregon nml the Commercial Club. Me said he didn't decide to come to Oregon after having ten chosen Bishop ot Oregon ot the Kplscopal Church until he had pe- ruffed nil the exploitation literature and Information sent him by the Commercial Club. He said that converted him to Ore gon. He spoke of the "1 will" spirit of Chicago and declared that that same spirit prevailed in Portland. He as much .. said, that he had heard In the East that the Portland people were "slow," . but that when he arrived here he was agreably surprised to find them very much alive. Among the others who' spoke were W. "tt". Cotton. B. I.. Thompson. Colonel James Jackson, Samuel Connell and J. C. JUnsworth. By an unanimous vote it was decided to hold regular monthly dinners and the board of governor will select the sub jects for discussion. The members last nlRht paid $1 each for the dinner, which was better than some more expensive banquets that have been nerved In Portland. The service was ex cellent and the menu deserving of much commendation. Money Gone and Wed ding Ring Pawned. Mm. W. M. J-t t Telia Police That Her Husband Squandered $1300 Which She Had Saved. APATHETIC story of domestic un happlness was related to Captain of Police Slover last night by Mrs. V. M. Jett, of 186 Sheridan street. When she was married, she stated, she possessed $1300. saved during years of hard labor. "Now. according to her story, she is pen niless, ber husband having- dissipated her funds. To complete the said affair, she told the police that Jett had pawned her wedding ring, and the dale for the pledge was due and still unpaid; she would lose that also.

"Well, if he will only keep his promise and go." said Captain Slover, "I think you will have at least something to be thankful for. It will be easier for you to earn jour own living than to earn his In the bargain, and ynu will not be both ered by him again. By nil means, if he will go. I would advise you to let him do so." There was trouble at the Jett home last night, and Patrolman Stuart went there to Investigate. He was inclined to take Jett to headquarters and have him ex plain his alleged misconduct, but Jett volunteered to go alone. He did so, and tried to tell Captain Slover things detri mental to Mrs. Joit. hut he was silenced. BRICKLAYERS WALK OUT Trouble Over Apprentice Causes a Slrike on Wells-Fargo Building.

Sunday He Will Be Joined by John It. Moll, and $350,000 Ru I Id lug Project Will Be Revived. An informal dinner was given last night by the directors of the Y. M. C. A. in honor of Richard C, Morse, for 37 years general secretary of the International Committee Y. M. C. A. All the members of the board of directors and the secre taries were present at the dinner. Mr. Morse is on his way to Japan, where he will attend the first world's student conference. This is to be held at Toklo next Summer, and is under the patronage of his Imperial Majesty, the Mikado. Mr. Morse has been in San Kranclseo for some time, where he has been studying the Japanese situation, that he may be able to intelligently, discuss the matter with the' leaders of the asso ciation work in the Oriental countries. Mrs. Morse is accompanying her hus band, and they will probably remain here until early next week, when they will go to Seattle. Next Sunday John n. Jlott, the chair man of the world student movement, will arrive in this city, and while Messrs. Mott and Morse are here tho T. M . O. A. will hold its annual meeting. In addi tion to the. election of officers, plans will be laid looking to the raising of the bal ance of tile S35O.O0O needed for til pur chase of a site and the erection of a build- in? Tor the use of both the Y. M. C, A. and the Y. W. P. A. The party expects to leave Seattle for Yokohama, the middle of next week, and will spend several months In the Orient. Members of the party will bond all their r-nertties to arouse interest in the great Christian ntudent conference, and mis sionary work will be done among the universities, collages and schools of Jaimn. At the dinner last night Mr. Morse told of the Y. M. O.

"The work in England continues to follow along the old lines, dealing with the cleric class only." said Mr. Morse, "while the work in this country has branched out until it takes in all classes. In the beginning the Y. M. C. A. work was wholly of a religious character, while today it has branched out Into the various lines of Industry and study, and is continually growing." Mr. Morse predicts that in the future there will be a large Increase in the work done for boys by. the or ganization of which' he is secretary. "Our building at Twenty-third street and Fourtli avenue. New York City," said Mr. Morse, "was the. first building erected in America in which were car ried out nil the V. M. C. A. functions. That building has since been torn down, but it has become the model for a large number of the structures erected by the organization throughout the United States. The outlook for the future is that the work done will be largely along educational lines. We expect also to do a great deal for boys, this branch being now in its Infancy. Incidentally the as sociation teaches good citizenship. If I were to si and up and ask how many of the Y. M. C A. men are in favor of a certain . candidate for political office I could not get a vote on it. but the mem bers would be very decided in their opin ions aa to whether It is right to tolerate he slot machines or the saloons."

WATER RATES IN EFFECT Consumers-May Cntler Reduced Schedule Beginning Today. 1 Mayor Lrfine signed yesterday the ordinance providing a reduction in water rates, and January bills ere now payable at the City Hall. Be cause authority for the new schedule bad not been received, no payments for water were accepted until yester day . afternoon, when the Mayor signed the ordinance that was passed by the Council at its meeting- yesterday after noon. Very few bills were paid yester day, as few people knew that the re vised rates were in effect, but It Is probablr. tha.t there will be a rush of business at the water office today. According to the law, all water bills are due by the tenth of each month. In case consumers fail to pay by that time, authority is stiven the manage ment to sl-.ut off the water and an additional payment of 50 cents must be mtide before it will be again turned on. This rule will probably not be rlR-idy enforced this month, aJP it would give less than 10 days for the payment of bills.

DEAL IS MADE IN COUNCIL Conncllmen Who Advocate Raising Saloon License From $500 to 1800 Expected to Slake Con. cession to Saloonmen. It Is a general opinion that, although twice defeated-, the ordinance to allow music In EfUoons Is not dead but slmply sleeplng until such a time as those of the Council who favor it shall deem its re- Introduction opportune. "When the first ordinance was Introduced which wtia drawn to allow female performers In saloons a determined fight was made for Its enactment as a law. After It had- been passed, vetoed, and had failed to pass over the Mayor's veto, a second ordin ance was initiates wnich allowed music and theatrica-ls In saloons tout debarred women. It was noticeable that with one exception, the Councllmen who favored the first ordinance, voted against the sec ond. It Is therefore inferred that hopes of having the original ordinance passed are still entertained. When the original music ordinance came to a vote it passed with-the affirma tive votes of Annand Beldlnir. Kellaher. Menefee, Sharkey, Gray, Vaughn and Wallace. Opposed to the measure were Bennett, Masters. Preston, Rushlight and "Wills, while there were- absent Shepherd and Dunning. Of those who voted affirm atively, only Wallace supported the sec ond measure in which women were de barred from all places where liquor was sold. On the Mayor's veto of the first ordinance the support of the measure was not so large. It is asserted that if a second ordinance permitting music and female performers in saloons is introduced, the necessary votes to carry it over the probable veto of Mayor 1-ane will be forthcoming. If the eight who originally voted for the measure would again favor it there would be necessary only two additional votes to counteract the veto power. These would have to come either from Bennett, Masters, Preston, Rushlight and Will?, who voted against it before, or from Shepherd and Dunning who were absent when the measure was previously brought up. The report Is credited that the two votes are already assured. It is Intimated by some that there is a connection between the music ordinance and the high license measure which was Introduced at the' last meeting of the Council. It is said that this ordinance receives the approval of the liciuor deal ers who hope that its adoption with a license of $800 will Berve to prevent the passage of a $1000 liquor license ordinance that Is to come before the people at the next election. The Initiative One Hundred is fathering this bill. This organization reduced the license figure of their bill from J1300 to $1000 at the last meeting, believing that its passage would thereby be assured. While willing to pay the JSOO license in order to avoid paying one of $1000. It is understood that the saloonmen be lieve that they should in turn receive some concession. Therefore they will again throw their Influence In favor of having women admitted to the saloons. It is rumored that the two measures will be put through the Council at the same time, those who are in favor of increasing the city's revenue from saloons throwing their votes in favor of the music ordin ance, and those who are supporting the latter measure in turn voting for the high - license. When the ordinance allowing women in saloons was before the Council it met with united opposition from the reform element. If it is again brought up this right will doubtless be repeated. ' IJr. Clarence True Wilson said last niRht that there would be a decided stand taken airalnt tho ordinance if It were rein troduced. . Occupation Tai May Be Repealed. At its next meeting the license com mittee will take up the consideration ot a proposition to do away with the pres ent occupation tax in Portland. An or dinance to the effect that the occupation tax be Bbollnhed. has been prepared by Councilman Kellaher and is now in the hands of the license committee. Nearly all kinds of business firms are now re quired to pay an occupation tax toy an ordinance which was enacted about elx years ago. AT THE THEATERS What tka Frew Agent Say. TONIGHT'S THE SIGHT.
