Occupation License. FINAL ACTION IS DEFERRED AVajs and Mean Committee : AVIII Wait to Learn How Much Keve-. nue II Ichor Liquor License Will Produce. The occupation, tax which business and professional men refcard as an Imposition probably will ' be. repealed by the Council, but not . before April 1. when quarterly payments are due. The ways and means committee, which is considering the ordinance to' effect the repeal of the occupation tax. spent several hours yesterday afternoon lis tening to the pleas of representatives of different commercial bodies. After lons-winded discussion. It was decided to postpone the ordinance un til the middle of April. The members of the committee and other Council men are disposed to strike out from the statutes the occupation tax, but are reluctant to act until' it has been determined how much revenue the city will receive during- the year . The S00 license law for salons, it Is believed, will Increase the annual rev enues of the city ail the way from $0,000 to $100,000. The occupation tax brlna-s in an average annual revenue of $65,000. The ways and means com mittee will wait until the effects of the $S00 license law are shown and then. If It is proven that the $65,000 occupation tax can be offset by the increased revenue from the retail liq uor dealers, it is probable that the law v.-ll! be done away with. That is the general opinion, but it is by no means certain, aa the city fathers bave plenty of channels in which to put all the money that comes into the treasury. Amonff those who appeared before the ways and means committee yester day to urge repeal of the occupation tax were Fletcher Linn, F. J. Arm strong: and George Lawrence, Jr., representing- the Manufacturers' Associa tion; C. A. Big-elow, of the East Side Business Men's Club: and Charles B. Merrick, of the Retail Grocers' Associ ation. Councilman Kellaher also urged that immediate action be taken. The business men who appeared be fore the committee were keenly dis appointed over the stand taken by the committee in postponing- action. V The question of purchasing the build ing which separates the Police Station and one - of the stations of Chemical No. 1. of the Fire Department, near the corner of Second and Oak streets, was considered. Councilman Gray believed that the city could do better by sellina the Police Station and purchasing- a lot on Ninth or Tenth street, one or two blocks off Washington street. He thought that enough could be derived from the sale to purchase a new site and to erect a modern building. Other members of the committee did not share his views. Chief of Police Gritzmacher appeared before the committee and requested that permanent arrangements be made for a police electrician. Fred Gilford, who for the last two months has been acting In that capacity, was present and announced his resignation, as he has accepted a more remunerative po sition with the Pacific States Tele phone & Telegraph Company. The police will be given an electri cian in the place of Gifford. but he will be directly under the orders of City Electrician Sevarian. Gifford has done good work for the police, and besides keeping the electrlcai wiring system in good order, has located much elec trical apparatus used by Chinese gam blers to warn them of the approach of the police, when raids were made. The ordinance which provides for a $3000 automobile to be used by Chief Campbell in answering Are alarms, was read but nothing was done with it. Re-awarding of the contract for the East Side barn for the street-cleaning department for $10,221, Instead of $9211 was authorized. Squires Bros., a firm of contractors, in computing the fig ures of their bid made a clerical mis take of $1000. RISER PHOTO CO. Ecenic Photos Lobby Imperial Hotel. SAYS UNION RESPECTS Li FOSTER DECLAJRES STRIKERS COXDEMS VIOLEXCE. Delegate Tells Ministerial Associa tion That Carmen Did Xot Place Explosives on the Track. Charles Foster, representing the Fede rated Trades Council, spoke before the Ministerial Association yesterday morn ing, at the Y. M. C. A. chapel, declaring that the striking carmen have had abso lutely nothing to do with placing explo sives on the - car tracks throughout the city. He asserted that it is not reason able that they should resort to violence when they turn out every night to talk to the men at the bams and endeavor to persuade them to strike. "If they were resorting to violence," he said, "they would not use moral sua sion. At no time have the striking car men attempted to blow up any cars or destroy any property. There may have been a few personal encounters among the boys, when they resorted to ' blows, but the union does not favor even this." The report of the committee appointed to visit the Federated Trades Council was postponed until the first Monday of April. This committee is composed of Revs. J. W. Brougher, E. "M. Sharp, F. B. Short. E. L. House and E. S. Muck ley. As Dr. E. L. House has left to as sume the pastorate of the Westminster Congregational Church, of Spokane, an other member will doubtless be appointed next month to fill the vacancy. Rev. E. S. Muckley said some of the ministers have been presented with copies of a book containing scripture selections designed for use in the public schools. "This .work was prepared with a view of doing away with passages containing points objectionable to the Jews, Protes tants and Catholics." said Mr. Muckley. The following" committee was appointed to investigate the book, and bring in a report at the next meeting: El S. Muck ley. T. B. Ford and E. Nelson Allen. Dr. I. D. Driver then spoke on "Minis terial Responsibility." He said that the minister should fully understand a text before he attempted to preach upon it. and then when be does he should tell the whole truth. He said there Is more dan ger of the preachers going to hell than there is of any other members of the churches, because If the preachers go wrong they do. so knowing better. He then proceeded to show some mistakes commonly made by those who fill the pulpits, and how some Biblical passages in English show a shade of difference from the text of the original. LOOKS FOR WIFE IN SOUTH Husband of Eloping Oregon City Woman Goes to San Francisco. If Mrs. Bertha Mellien and Frank Selvers. who eloped from Oregon City last Friday afternoon, are in San Fran cisco, they will probably soon face the husband of the woman. He left Port land for the Bay City on the 11:30 o'clock train last night, determined to bring back his wife. Mellien called at Police Headquarters, where he stated that he purposed finding his wife, with the aid of the police. He declined to state whether he would have her arrested, but he said he thought he could "fix matters without arresting the youth who eloped with her." Mrs. Mellien is the mother of t,wo small children and is aged 22 years. Seivers is 16 years old. The elopement has created a genuine sensation, the case being one of the most striking kind because of the difference in the ages of the runaways. There is a theory in police circles that perhaps Mrs. Mellien did not elope at all: that she may have left her home because of domestic troubles and that she may be still in this city. A report that she had been seen here on Washington street last Saturday afternoon has reached the officials and from this it is thought she may be working here in some house or establishment. A conductor of a South ern Pacific train is authority for the statement that she and Seivers went to San Francisco, he stating to the police that they went on his train. Entertains State Master. Russellvllle Grange. Patrons of Hus bandry, on the Base Line road, enter tained State Master A. T. Buxton and wife at a special meeting last night, in the schoolhouse assembly hall. John Welbur. the master of the local Grange, extended a hearty welcome to the state master and wife, and said that the best Russellville Grange had was at their dis posal. Mr. Buxton responded, and con gratulated Russellville Grange, the young est in the county, on the progress It has made. He then went into a general dis cussion of the spread of the farmers' order, and said among other things that the organization was never more pros perous In this state and throughout the Nation than at present. - Other short talks were made and a short programme was given. The state master was favor ably impressed with Russellville Grange. Mr. and Mrs. Buxton will continue their pilgrimage through the county, and will spend the week with their inspection trip. They go to Columbia Grange today. New Rural Carriers. OREGONIAN KEW3 BUREAU. Wash ington, March 4. Emll - Klein has been appointed regular, Marion Porter substi tute, rural carrier, route 1, at Goshen, Wash. We have been requested to publish the following information: "The Beef Trust entered Into a contract with two brothers to clean na the bulla of Eastern Ores on. The country was scoured for bulls, from Bend to Prtnevllles from the Deo Chutes to the John Day. Every kind of a bull' went; toua-h old bulls, blind, halt and lame buIlM, nnd bulls that took Em Meeker over the plains to Oregon la 1847. Enlighten the public about the bulls." , Avoid the Beef Trust and the "bulls." Trade with Smith. Smith's is the ONLY market in the city that the Beef Trust does not control, and the ONLY market where you are sure you will NOT meet those "bulls." When the Beef Trust runs short of Chicago meat it will probably trot out the "bulls." After being inspected by the Gov ernment and Uncle Sam, the "bulls" will be distributed among all the markets in the city, and this will be the CHEAP meat that the Beef Trust will be very likely to offer the public. . Smith's is the only place'in town where you can get good,, old-fashioned home-fed meats, tender, juicy, delicious. Just right. FRANK L. SMITH MEAT GO. 226-228 Alder St., Bet. First and Second Sts.
