Saloonnirn Propose to I'iglit Pry Wave by Proposing County Klevtion. l'aRtnrs and laymen from practically vpry church on the Rast Side, from Sell wood to St. John, were present laat niprht et the prohibition meeting held in Haw thorne Tark Presbyterian Church. -Kast Twelfth and Taylor atreets, and plans for n active campaign were laid to make .all Kast Side precincts dry. Rev., B. Nelson .Allen presided at thl meeting- J. R. Knodell waa the first speaker, and he de voted his time to suirsestions.- He said II younf? people, teachers in the public vchocts as wett as individuals and busi ness men, should be enlisted in the cam paign. Mr. Knodoll alo said that it was de sired to eet aw names to the petitions for the power and momentum such a number would Rive the movement.. Over 30 petitions, he said, were placed in the churches on Sunday, and many more had been piven out yesterday. In speaking of the general plan of campaia-n. Mr. Knodell aid that billboards will b used .all over the Bast Plde. and that public mass meet ings will be held. Short talks were made By J. C. Adams, P. T. !ache and F. J. McHenry on dif ferent phases of the prohibition fight that toad been entered on. Slips of paper were circulated in the audience and every one was asked to write a suggestion as to the plan to be . followed, halls where meet ings ' coud be held, names of men and women who would assist financially and otherwise. These were gathered up for ftiturtt reference. , Rev. V. I Toung brought the greetings ofSt. John to the meeting, and advised the pastors and laymen St, John would be made dry at the coming June election. It was suggested that the movement be made more general, and that men outside the churches be invited to take part In the campaign, which was approved. In order to raise the funds to meet the large expense of the campaign, it was moved and earried that the chairman appoint a standing finance committee with power to ppoint subcommittees. A long list of names was suggested from whK.-h to select this committee, and Chairman Allen took the matter under advisement, as It was considered that this is an Important com mittee and should be selected with great care. Mr. Knodell announced that the pe titions would not have to be in until Wednesday. April 29, which will ive one more Sunday for work In the churches. The saloon men on the East 'Side are taking steps to counteract this movement to make the whole of the Bast Side dry by a movement to call a prohibition elec tion In the entire county. They propose to do this on the theory that while many of the Bast Side precincts will probably go dry, the entire county would not vote prohibition. It Is understood that peti tions will be drawn up and circulated for a prohibition vote In the entire county, which will be very much like fighting pro hibition with a prohibition weapon. If this is carried out. It will mean that the West Side also will vote on prohibition. CAPITALIST VISITS CITY FESTIVAL POSTALS ISSUED EDITION" OF 100,000 REAUSj FOR DISTRIBUTION.

In compliance with instruction from the Secretary of War. the commanding officer of Vancouver FIRST THROUGH SHIPMENT TWO CARS FROM NORTH BANK ROAD REACH PORTIAXD. POLICEMEN IN FIST FIGHT ne Bri,,gs B"tol'Hw or Sergeant JoTineon and Fatrohnan Welch Have Set-To on Street. Acting Police Sergeant Ernest Johnson and Patrolman Asa Welch, engaged in. a little Marquis of Queensbury pleasantry near Fifth and Washington streets, early yesterday afternoon. The two minions had been engaging in an interchange of views on religion, politics, philosophy and the best kinds of chewing tobacco when a difference of opinion of bitter propor tions sprung up. Their oratorical capa cities proved insufficient to settle the matter and they went at it hammer and tongs. The combat was not the most scientific on record but . it was gory enough to satisfy the most exacting. When the demonstration was completed both preservers of the city's peace and dignity had suffered a considerable change of facial proportion and some little loss of blood. The fray was stopped by peace-loving citizens and a bartender. A passing fellow-officer caught a glimpse of it but he hastened on, so It is recorded, for fear of being haled before the Police Com mittee in event charges should grow out of the fray. While the police station was notified of the incident no forma! report was made to the Chief, for reasons already hinted at no doubt. The Chief suspended neither of the belligerents they were not on duty at the time of the fray. Neither was In condition to report for duty with the second night relief at 31:45 o'clock last night, telephoning in to be excused on the account of not feeling fit for duty.
