Acnti and matm of the FYench

ai:d the Orroin ship Albert Rickmers,
! notified yesterday by the walking
delegate of the Liners' Inlon tnat unless
tlia vmkI were lined by members of
IMat union, the craft would not be loaded
The announcement caused considerable
excitement on the waterfront. Jt de
veloped later that the statement was un
authorized as far as the longshoremen
rr concerned, as the latter union bad
taken no action In the matter.
The trouble grew out of the action of
I'anlel Cooncy. foremiin for Anderson
Crowe, who employed members of a rival
u.iioa to work on a vessel In the harbor.
Cooney is a foreman for the shlp-llnlng
firm and is not recottnlred by the union. It
eeems that tlie Liners' I'nton had former
ly been affiliated with the American Fed
eration of I-abor, but had withdrawn.
When the union declared that Cooney
could not work, he applied and was
aranted by the federation a charter for
a union In Portland. The membership
list was forwarded and the union placed
on a recognld basis. It was at this
Juncture that tha agents and masters of
certain vessels were notified that the
craft foul.1 not be loaded unless lined
by members of the old union.
t'p to a late hour last night the long
shoremen had taken no action In the
matter. Anordlng to the terms of the
contract, entered Into In September, be
tween the stevedoring firms and the long
shoremen, the latter are restrained from
participating in any labor troubles, out

The contract does not mention liners or
riggers.
In Portland there sre two shlp-llnlng
firms; Crowe & Anderson and the Co
lumbia Willamette River Shipbuilding
Company. The former concern has for
foreman Daniel J. Cooney, who Is head
of the new union. J. H. Roberts repre

Consul Ynniano Cites Figures to

From Mr. Turaano, consul of Japan
at Portland, the folowlng Interesting
statement la obtained:
Tha statistic... figure showing the number
of Japtnfw ppeniter. Including la bore ra, to
ol from lb United Statca and Hawaii, dur
ing nv months ending August 31 last,
should go far toward allaing the unfounded
une-ilnesat felt by a cerfaln section of the
American people. For several- month past
tha Japanese government has been straining
every nerve for the enforcement of tha
at ric tat restriction over the Japanese Immi
gration to America, with tha result that tha
Japanese Immigrant of tha laboring clan
have iiown a marked decrease.
Ttie s:atle:to will not fttli to draw the at

facts: (A The number of the Japanese Im
migrants to America has been steadily declin
ing since April Jat, when tha Japanese
laborers d minted Into the United States

COUNCIL FAILS TO
MODIFYOil
NANCE
Joker Is Scented in Proposed
Amendment to Cellars
Saloon Law.
MEMBERS ASK FOR DELAY
Baker Attempts to Suspend Enforce
ment of Measure Until Change Is
Made, but This EKort
Also Is Defeated.
Seeking to find a means of saving the
application and enforcement of the Cellars
ordinance barring women from . saloons
and places where liquor Is sereved. Coun
cilman Baker, yesterday afternoon, dur
ing tha Council session; sought to secure
the adoption of a resolution requesting
Mayor Lane and Chief of Police Grltx
macher to suspend portions of the law
until further notice. This failed. Other
proposed amendments, seeking to lessen
the pressure on certain classes of saloons,
were. likewise defeated, and the matter
was at last referred to the liquor license
committee. The Council occupied more
than an hour vainly trying to reach some
amicable adjustment of the ordinance, so
that no hardship would be imposed upon
any dealers.
Councilman Rushlight Introduced a pro
posed amendment, in which were two al
leged "Jokers." and over this the debate
was waged. It 'was at first sought to se
cure passage of this amendment upon its
initial appearance in Council, but objec
tion on the part of Councilman Wills
prevented this. He based his objection on
the feature contained, calling for 3U0
square feet In dining-rooms where liquor
Is served. Instead of 400 square feet, aa
in the law as It stands. Mr. Wills said
he would prefer the ordinance read. "JO
feet square," as that, he said, would suit
him better.
Another suspicious clause. It was pointed
out. was one ii which the words, "eating-
house" appeared. It was said Dy some
that the words would make possible,
should the amendment pass, the selling of
liquors In a room containnlg not more
than 300 square feet of floor space and
with a cracker or piece of sandwich, as.
It was alleged, "eating-house" is not de
fined In the city laws, the word "restau
rant" being the only defined word In
this connection.
Councilman Baker. In whose ward Is lo
cated the Turn Halle, the first place to
be raided by the police under the law.
the proprietors of which were found not
guilty yesterday, made a statement In
which he declared that the ordinance Is
very one-sided, and that It works a great
hardship on the "small" dealers, and fa
vors the "swell" establishments which
can afford larxe lunchrooms. He thought
a room with 3 square feet of floor space
of sufficient size, he said, as ten tables,
accommodating 40 people, could be ar
ranged in such a room. Mr. Baker then
moved that it be the sense of the Coun
cil that the Mayor and Chief of Police
suspend the enforcement of the section
of the ordinance to which the principal
objections are raised, until such time as
the Council can reach an agreement as to
what Is beet to do.
Few Hurt by Measure.
Mr. Cellars said he had investigated and
had not discovered where the law did any
great amount of harm, even in the case
of wholesale dealers and dealers in fam
ily trade. Neither did he find, he eald,
the grocers, who are excepted in the law,
have taken much advantage of the fact,
for he said the grocers who sell liquors
are "only four Italians, one Chinese, one
Japanese, four white men and our friend
over there, the Councilman," meaning
Councilman Kellaher. Mr. Cellars said
no great loss had apparently resulted,
so far as he had been able to discover.
He said he waa opposed to any change
in the ordinance, unless It be to make it
apply also to grocers and druggists.
On the vote as to requesting the Mayor
and Chief of Police to suspend the en
forcement of the law temporarily, there
was a tie, the ballot being 6 to 6. The
Mayor declared the motion lost, as he
said he would not vote upon it.
Mr. Baker listened to what the other
members said about the ordinance and
the proposed amendments, and then said:
"There is no use in thinking now, since
some of our ministerial friends have pat
ted us on the back because we passed
this ordinance, that we are cleansed and
are ready for the Kingdom of Heaven. It
Is safe to say that the 15 members of this
Council, Including the Mayor, will meet
in the same place in due time."
Mr. Kellaher opposed the present ordi
nance, and also scored Mr. Cellars for
the latter s personal remarks. Council
man Cottel declared the Council had made
a mistake in passing the law, aa did also
Councilman Drlscoll, and both urged that
It be remedied at the earliest date. Coun
cilman Menefee declared the Council waa
acting like children In asking the Mayor
and police not to enforce the ordinance,
and said it should be amended, if unsat
fcfactory. Councilman Bennett said he
would like to have a fair and Impartial
trial of the ordinance by the authorities
before amending or repealing it. Coun
cilman Wilis declared the ordinance a
good one, such as the people want in
force, and asserted that, if k-ft to a vote
of the people, it would stand.
Pastors Present at Session.
That may be true from the standpoint
of our backwoods Councilmen," said Mr.
Paker, "but not to those of us who get
out into the city's affairs, away from the
beaten cowpatlia, and see things aa they
exist.".
"The wisest, brainiest men of the world
have come from the country district," re
plied Mr. Wills, amid laushter.
During the morning session of the Coun
cil, it being anticipated that the members
would attempt to repeal or amend the
ordinance, there was a strong delegation
of ministers on hand. Including Dr. Ben
jamin Young, pastor of Taylor-Street
Methodist Episcopal Church; Dr. Brough
er, of the White Temple; Kev. E. S. Muck
ley, of the First Christian; Dr. William
Hiram Foulkes. of the First Presbyterian,
and Dr. E. Nelson Allen, pastor of the
Hawthorne Preebyterian. They were ab
sent during the afternoon meeting, when
the matter waa under debate.
FAILS TO SECURE PERMIT
Much Opposition to Application of
Flre-Alarm Company.
An application of the National Auto
matic Fire Alarm Company for permis
sion to connect Its wires with the city's
underground system, made in the form of
a resolution and introduced by Council
man Annand. caused much debate at the
Council meeting yesterday". in which
Major Lane himself took part. Council
man Kellaher, who all along has fought
the efforts of the company to secure the
franchise, declared that it was but an-
other effort by the corporation to attach
itself to the highly-expensive underground
system being put In by the city, and said
that. If the resolution waa adopted, it
would simply mean that the right of the
company to use the city's wires was
established.
Mr. Annand said that Mr. Kellaher was
misrepresenting the case; that the reso
lution simply gave the company the right
to use the city's system until such time
as other arrangements could be entered
into whereby the city and the company
could agree upon the terms of a fran
chise. City Attorney Kavanaugh was
shown a communication from the com
pany, in which there was a statement
that the company would not regard the
privilege of using the city's wires as
granting any rights not already held by
the company, and said he could see no
war whereby tha adoption of the resolu
tion could injure the city's rights, if the
company signed a properly-drawn stipula
lation. Mayor Lane, who has hitherto been re
garded as rather favorable to the com
pany's application, declared that, if the
resolution were adopted it would be al
most equivalent to a franchise. It was
finally referred to the City Attorney for
a report.
WILL NOT BELAY BRIDGE
COUXCIIi DEFEATS RESOLUTION'
FOR ANOTHER VOTE.
People Who Would Rather Have
Structure Further South Than
Madison Street Attempt Block.
The City Council yesterday after
noon refused to adopt a resolution to
hold up the progress of the work In
connection with the proposed new
bridge across the Willamette River at
Madison street, until an' election can
be held to determine whether the vot
ers want the span there or further
south. The resolution was introduced
by Councilman Concannon, at the re
quest of people interested In having a
bridge at Ciay or Sherman streets.
The Council acted partly upon an
opinion' rendered by City Attorney
Kavanaugh, which was, in effect, that
the vote of the people for a bridge
at Madison street is a mandate to
proceed with the carrying out of that
project, and that it is obligatory upon
the Council to proceed. However, the
Council has already started on the
routine of putting the work through
as rapidly as possible, before receiv
ing the opinion from Mr. Kavanaugh,
and there has never appeared any in
clination in the Council to refuse to
proceed.
It is now believed that those inter
ested in the South Portland bridge,
among whom are . Councilman Cottel
and Mark O'Nell, will proceed to securo
signatures to an Initiative petition, and
that they will seek to secure the ap
proval of the people at the election for
another span somewhere south of Madi
son street.
It has been found positively neces
sary that a new bridge take the place
of the present one at Madison street,
which Is on the verge of collapse, and
the matter has been repeatedly called
to the attention of Council.
The Council has already authorized
the sale of the $4.".0.000 issue of bonds,
with which the Madison-street bridge
is to be built, and the proceedings will
go forward without any further ques
tion, so far as can be ascertained at
this time. There is a great pubHc in
terest In the matter because of the un
safe condition of the present span.
HUT FIGHT TD PEOPLE
KELLAHER TO CALL FOR VOTE
OX PAVING LAWS.
Motion to Submit Issue Is Defeated
in Council Objection Made to
Maintenance Fee.
Continuing his fight against the laying
of bitulithlc pavement in Portland. Coun
cilman Kellaher yesterday afternoon in
troduced before the City Council a resolu
tion, granting to the people the right to
vote on a proposed ordinance repealing
the sections of the city law containing the
copyright names owned and controlled by
the Warren Construction Company. By
a vote of 11 to 3, the resolution was de
feated, and Mr. Kellaher declared later
that he will now secure a petition under
the Initiative and place It before the peo
ple for a vote on the proposition of re
pealing the alleged monopolistic laws.
In connection with this matter, Mr. Kel
laher called the attention of the Council
to the fact that the city is now required
to pay to hard-surface paving companies
a maintenance fee of 24 cents a square
yard a year on all streets for a period
of 10 years. He said that it is now cost
ing the property-owners $10,000 a year, or
J10.000 every 10 years, which goes Into the
corporation coffers, whether the compa
nies concerned are obliged to repair the
various pavements or not. This system,
he declared. Is one of the most unjust,
iniquitous and grasping ever fastened
upon taxpayers in the country and must
soon be remedied.
Mayor Lane took a part in the discus
sion of the maintenance fund, and de
clared himself strongly in favor of the
city making the repairs to pavements. He
suggested that the next year's budget
should contain an item for the establish
ment and equipment of a repair plant in
order that the people be saved from enor
mous expense at the hands of the Warren
Construction Company and the Barber
Asphalt Paving Company.
Mayor Lane declared that, if the system
Is not abolished and that soon, the bur
den will become so great, as the streets
are Improved with bitulithlc and asphalt,
that It cannot be borne by the taxpayers.
The matter was finally referred to City
Attorney Kavanaugh, who is under in
structions to investigate the situation and
to report some means of relief.

I have learned nature's laws applying to the cause and cure of men's ailments.
Through this knowledge I have perfected forms of treatment wholly original and dis
tinctive. Every requirement for a thorough cure is scientifically met, and as a result
I am able to completely master cases commonly regarded as incurable. I especially In
vite those who have been long afflicted to consult me. My success in curing difficult cases
has brought ny marvelous growth of practice and made me the foremost specialist treating
men's diseases.
MY FEE $10
in any uncomplicated case
Different doctors have different ideas in regard to
cures. Some call a suppression of symptoms a cure.
Thev dose for drug effects and claim that nothing
more can be done. But the real ailment remains and
will bring the real svmptoms back again, perhaps the
same as before, but very likely leave the patient in a
much worse condition. I claim that nothing less than
complete eradication of disease can be a real cure.
I treat to remove the disease and not merely the
symptoms. I search out every root and fiber of the
ailment, and I cure to stay cured.
I not only cure all weak conditions promptly, but I
emtilov the onlv treatment that can possibly cure such
disorder permanently. It is a system of local treat
ment entirely original with me and Is employed by
no phvslclan other than myself. This may seem a
broad assertion, but is just as substantial as it is broad.
Contagious Blood Poison
I cure this leprous disease completely. The system
is thoroughly cleansed and every poisonous taint re
moved. The last symptom vanishes to appear no more,
a-nd all Is accomplished by the use of harmless blood
cleansing remedies. Do not submit to the dangerous
mineral dosing commonly indulged in. Such treatment
merely obscures the symptoms.

Annual Inspection of System
by 0. R. & N. Officials.
MEDALS FOR GOOD WORK
Employes Put Property in Condi

Are Given for the Best
Showing Made.
Every employe of the O. R. &
operating department is on the qui
vtve. for the annual inspection is on.
A special train of officials is going
over every inch of the line and exami
ning the physical condition of the
property minutely. Section men. road
masters, station agents and division
superintendents are working overtime
to get their sections of the line in the
best posible shape by the time the of
ficial eyes reach them.
The annual Inspection is far mire
rigorous than the frequent Incidental
trips the various officials make over
the road. The roadbed is raked with
a fine tooth comb, figuratively speak
ing to detect oversights by the various
crews in charge of maintenance work.
Ties, rails, ballast, bridges, right-of-way
fences, station grounds and build
ings and the telegraph lines running
along the track are gone over to see
that all is in good condition for the
Winter months.
M. J. Buckley, general superinten
dent of the Harriman lines; J. F.
Graham, superintendent of motive
power: William Bollons. division en
gineer; G. C. Morris, assistant superin
tendent of the Southern Pacific; and
r. W; Campbell superintendent of the
O. R. & N., form the inspection party.
They occupy three private cars that
make up a special train. The inspec
tion will last for a week yet. the party
having already started the work.
The section crews at a dozen points
along the line are putting everything
in ship shape condition to pass the an
nual inspection. Station grounds are
being gone over and every blade of
grass combed to the proper angle with
rakes. Pebbles larger than the regu
lation size on the track are being
thrown into the brush and uneven
places alongside the track are being
carefully leveled with shovels.
There is a reason for all this careful
work on the part of the various ero
ploves of the road for gold medals are
distributed among various oficials for
the best kept sections of line. u ne
roadmaster making the best showing
gets one, as does the section foreman
showing the best kept stretch of track.
The station agent whose station and
grounds are adjudged the neatest and
best kept is given a medal also. These
prizes are well worth striving for and
there is keen rivalry among the meti
to capture the trophies.
Until the annual inspection is over,
there will be no rest for section hands,
who are roused at daylight to get out
and do a landscape gardening stunt
for the delectation of the "high collars"
as they are called, when they pass on
their annual inspection. Minor officials
along the road too are kept busy from
davlight to dark directing forces of
workmen and attending to the task of
bringing the property up to the pink
of perfection.

wrong, or believe theirs is a case of
Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the
Stomach or Cancer.
This is a serious mistake. Tour
real trouble is, what you eat does not
digest; Instead, it ferments and sours,
turns to acid. Gas and Stomach poi
son, .which will putrefy in the entire
digestive tract and- intestines, and. be
sides, poison the breath with nauseous
odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough di
gestion, and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the Stomach, is
waiting for you as soon as you decide
to try Pape's Diapepsin.
One candy-like Trlangule, taken aft
er eating, will promptly digest all
your food. the same as a strong,
healthy stomach would do it.

Portland, Or.
Take a Dose of
Nature's Medicine
Throw away your half-filled bot
tles of dope and poison, your patent
nostrums and doctors' concoctions.
You know they haven't done you any
good, and that your stomach is all
upset as the result of filling It with
these poisons. You know they have
weakened your nerves and taken
the life out of your blood.
Get back to Nature. Consider how
she cures and
give her assist
ance. Nature will
cure .you if she
has the power.
This power Is
'electricity. That's
because electricity
builds up sup
plies nourishment,
s t r e ngth to the
body. Drugs de
stroy, tear down,
because they con
tain poison in
stead of nourish
ment. Of course
poison will ease
pain. Why? Be
cause it paralyzes
the nerves- The
nerves are delicate wires that en
able you to feel pain. U 'u poison
vour nerves witii drugs you can't
feel the pain until the stupor wears
off. Then the pain comes bark and
you have to repeat the dose until
Nature removes the cause.
If you have a pain in your back
vou can stop it for a few hours by
stupefving the nerves with poison
ous drugs. But to cure that pain
you have got to remove the cause.
That pain is sometimes caused by
kidney trouble. So can't you see
that to remove the cause you must
restore the kidneys to a healthy
condition?
The reason the kidneys, liver,
stomach or other organs become
weak or debilitated Is because they
lack electricity. This must be re
stored, either artificially or by Na
ture, before they can do their work
properly.
Weakness in men is caused by an
exhaustion of electricity. Get back
that force and you will have your
strength.
My Electro-Vigor pours a stream
of electric life into your ' nerves
while you sleep, and these conduct
the force to every organ and tissue
of your body, giving health and
strength to every part. .
