CDUNCILMEN HOLD ST Oil SESSION Members of Liquor License Committee Hear Charges Against Saloonmen. ONE LICENSE IS REVOKED Ten Applications of Biff Down-Town Grills Are Still Without Recom mendation and Will Go Before the Council as Whole. Owinff to utron differences of opinion among members of the liquor-license com mittee of the City Council, ten applica tions for licences to sell liquor with meals, made by proprietors of "biff" downtown es tanHnhmenis. are still without the neces sary number of signatures to recommend them favorably to the Council for action. Again yesterday afternoon, all were un signed ecnt by Councilmen Cottel and Drvcnll. They will o to the Council ihfs time without recommendation and a hitter A tit will thus be precipitated. At I in meeting yesterday the committee lis tened to testimony In four cases, dis missing charjres against three saloon IcPrt; and votinsr to revoke the licence of the other. Much wrangling and caustic comment by membfm, one at the other, characterized the committee's session. "I refuse to vote for anything until we get the Cellars law straightened out." miM Councilman Rushlight, whose amend ment to the celebrated "women -In-sa-loons" ordinance was defeated recently In the Council. "If we keep up at this rate we wiil have no saloons and all res taurants." "I do not see, in view of the opinion of the City Attorney, how the committee can refuse -to sign these applications," said Councilman Cottel. the chairman. Vaughn Favors High License. "Well, you Just watch me, and I'll show you how I refuse," commented Council man Vaughn. "I refuse to sim any such Applications until such time as res taurants and saloons pay the same licenses. I am in favor of fixing res taurant liquor licenses at $300 a year, just as the saloon license, and will never sign anv application on any other basis." "I will sign every restaurant liquor license that Is presented." was the state ment of Councilman Drtecoll. City Attorney Kavanaugh's opinion, as read. Is that no restaurant serving liquor with meal3 can lawfully serve it unless granted a license by the Coun cil. I'nlefcs some action Is soon taken tosettle the cotroversy. which has now continued for a month. City Auditor Barbtir will ask the police to order proprietors of these places to cease serving liquor with meals. Among the places are the Louvre, the Quelle, the Hof Brau, the Turn Halle, the Perkins ririll, the Oregon Grill and the Port land Grill. Pasing from the applications to the hearing of testimony against certain saloonkeepers, members of the commit tee became embroiled In heated argu ments among themselves and much bit terness and differences of views was nparent. Councilman Vaughn became so dis gusted, after three cases were heard without revocation being ordered, that he moved to dismiss the charges against the fourth saloonkeeper, with out hearing any testimony. Councilman , Cottel, as chairman, gave Mr. Vaughn a severe vert-al i ashing. "It is insul. to every member of the committee, the way you have talked," said Dr. Cottel. "We have done very well in regulating the saloons. We have re voked some licenses." Swan sons' License Revoked. Charges against G. H. Kunx, Herman Sperling and Sam West were dismissed, but the committee voted to revoke the license of Gus Pwanson. All were charged with violations of the ordi nances governing iiquor traffic. Kunx runs a saloon at East Twentieth street and Sandy road. He was arrested" by Police Sergeants Keller and Klenlen, who found two drunken men In the pl.ice. Sergeant Keller said he went to the scene to Investigate on information from Policeman Burchell. who. said Keller, declared that there might be some women there, Burchell was -sent for and denied this. Councilman Ben nett. In whose Ward the saloon Is lo cated, told the committee that the sa loon is one of the best conducted In Portland. . Gus Swa niton, whose saloon Is lo cated at 355 North Fifteenth street, was arested by Policeman Swennes for selling liquor to men who were drunk. He denied the charge. The officer swore that, on foggy nights, bricks and beer bottles, had been hurled at him from this saloon, and Councilman otte. voted with Rushlight and Vaughn to revoke. The other two cases were without special Interest, being mere technical violations. It was pointed out. COrXTT SCXTJAY 6CHOOIj ASSO CIATION MEETS.

WILL TAKE UP FRANCHISE COCNCTL TO HOLD ADJOURNED MEETING THIS MORNING. Blanket Application of Streetcar Company to Be Considered. Outcome Important. The City Council will meet in adjourned session at 8:30 o'clock this morning to resume consideration of a blanket fran chise, covering about extensions and new lines, sought by the Portland Rail way, Light Power Company. It ta ex pected that this meeting will develop a big struggle between opposing factions In the Council, when the matter of in serting provisions for the public good cornea up. Councilman Kellaher and others, following out the expressed wish of Mayor Lane, embodied in a veto mes sage last Saturday, will endeavor to in corporate into ail of these franchises a common-user clause, a provision regulat ing the fares and the number of cars to be operated over the new lines. Other Councilmen. believing that the company will not accept grants containing these terms, will fight the attempt. In view of the fact that threats have already been made by people interested in the lines under contemplation by the company to apply the referendum to the franchises unless they are all stringent in their terms as to the public safety and contain all the provisions embodied In a recent franchise given the United Rail ways Company and the further fact that Mayor Lane has virtually served notice that he will veto the franchises unless they are "properly guarded." it looks as though a very difficult firoblem confronts SCIENCE and ART 3L V M a BEAUTY CULTURE LECTURE BY MME.

It would be an appeal from the City Council's action, and might re sult in defeating the granting of the franchises. In such an event the com pany's object would be thwarted and the people who wish new lines would have to go without them. The far-reaching effect of applying the referendum, should it result in blocking the extensions, is easily seen when It is understood that it would make it impos sible to construct a line to the Swift packing plant, on the lower peninsula. That proposed extension Is one of the most Important of any under contempla tion by the company. It is one of the number included In the blanket franchise now under consideration.
