-1 X-i n , SALOONS' SUNDAY HOUR WITHDRAWN All Ginmills to Close at Mid night Saturday Hereafter, Chief's Edict. OLD LID LAW LEAK MENDED Violation of Statute Disregarded for Several "Years to Be No linger .Permitted Boy In Kcsort Arouses Judge. Chief of Police Cox will Invoke the Sunday lid law on saloons and force them to close at midnight Saturday night Instead of 1 o'clock Sunday morn ings as has been the custom for several years. Official announcement of this contemplated move was made yesteday afternoon by the head of the police de partment. No order has been Issued, hut one will be given by Chief Cox be tween now and Saturday night. An order will be prepared asking Cap tain Baty. in charge of the second night relief, to have It rigidly enforced. Word will be sent through the patrolmen to the saloon trade of the city of the de termination of the police to deprive sa loonmen of the privilege which they have enjoyed without molestation for a long period. Boy In Saloon Causes Change. The change In policy of the police toward the Saturday midnight violation of the law was brought about through the case of J. Delia Silva. an Italian saloonkeeper, at Grand avenue and East Madison street, who was fined 10 by Judge Bennett yesterday morning after Silva had pleaded guilty to the charge of keeping open his resort on Sunday in violation of the state law. The ques tion of the Sunday violation was brought out through the arrest of Silva Saturday night about i;:I0 o'clock, on the charge of permitting a minor In his saloon, later the complaint was changed by Deputy District Attorney Hennessy. al leging keeping a saloon open on Sunday. Patrolman Whiteside noticed John Sherman, the 9-year-old son of Philip Sherman, of 530 Kast Market street, in Silva s saloon a few minutes after mid night. The lad was wet through and stood shivering by the stove trying to get warm. Inquiry by the policeman brought out the fact that the boy en tered the saloon with his father, who had left the lad while he Joined a party of friends In a drinking bout. Both the fcaloonman and Sherman were arrested. It was pointed out to Deputy District Attorney Hennessy that the arrest had been made after midnight on Saturday and a complaint was prepared against Silva on this ground. The charge against the saloonman of permitting the boy In his place was dismissed. It being de cided to refer this phase of the case to the Juvenile Court. Custom Doesn't Count. In commenting upon the case Judge Bennett said: "Saloons In this city have been open between midnight Saturday nnd 1 o'clock Sunday momlng for a long time. Merely the fact that this has been done In the past does not modify the law against it. If they havo been open they did so In violation of the law and should be closed. This Is the first time the subject has been brought to my attention." c:hlef of Police Cox said: "In view of the opinion held by Judge Bennett regarding the Sunday law there is nothing left for me to do but enforce It. In the future all saloons will close at 12 o'clock promptly Saturday night. As a matter of fact It is just as well that they should. People who can't get enough to drink up to midnight Saturday night ought to be deprived of the extra hour, and perhaps couldn't get enough even if the saloons did keep open another hour. The move will be for the better ment and not for the detriment of the city It. any way." NEW STREETCARS ARRIVE Six-Minute Itusb Hour Service Is FromUed Kast Side Section. It was announced at the offices of the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company yesterday that the arrival of new cars from the East had made It possible for the company to Improve Its service on both the Irvlngton and Broadway lines. Three larger cars have been placed on the Irvlngton line to replace the "bird-cage" vehicles which have been In use on that division of the system. An additional car was placed on the Broadway line about a week ago and another will be added some time this week. This will make a total of eight cars to serve that district and will enable the company to maintain a six-minute service from 4:30 to 6:30 o'clock every afternoon. These Improvements In the com pany's service were planned about ten months ago. when several new cars were due for delivery from the factory In the East. Only ten of the twenty cars that were expected at that time have arrived. When the others arrive they will be used for Improving; the service on other parts of the railway company's system. WAR VETS TAKE TO STAGE Spanish Fight Survivors In Lime light Next Week. There will be a lot of fun next week at the Baker theater, when the Spanish War Veterans will appear in their big annual Minstrel Show, December 1 and 2. The production, which is built around local affairs. Is said to be full of fine musical numbers and Jokes galore. Over 60 of the boys will be In the performance. Many good-natured take-ofTs on some of our prominent citizens will be features and while the show will bring forth vol umes of laughter, there will be nothing offensive or of a personal nature in any of the stunts. JAIL FOLLOWS "JOY RIDE" Garage Employes and S. P. AVork man Accused of Blanket Theft. Constable Wagner arrested three young men yesterday afternon for stealing two blankets from an auto mobile owned by C. Harrison. The prisoners are R. Udy. emjstoyed as a washer in the garage of the. Oregon Hotel, at the corner of Seventh and Oak streets; A. C. Hughes, a washer in the Funic garage at Sixth and Everett t streets, and J. Poulsen, a repairer In reels, ana i. ruuiacu, ... - m Cnnthn Tarifin rarshODS. who ' lives at East Twenty-eignm ana noi gate streets. An additional charge of disorderly conduct will probably be placed against the trio. After taking- Mr. Dickinson, manager of the Oregon Hotel, to the Union Depot on Monday night. Udy picked up his friends, Hughes and Poulsen, for a Joy ride" to the Twelve-Mile House. Mr. Harrison's machine was in front of the road resort when the blankets were taken. One of tnem was iou j nd hidden in the garage where Udy worked, house. and the other in Poulsen'a Cherries From Cherry Are Not Sour Star Thin Week at Fortland Theater a Real Kagllshmnn and Creat Lover of Late Lameated Fitch. It's the big. burly Englishman, the fellow with the broad shoulders and merry smile; it's the chap who talks of cricket and golf, the man who'll talk of everything but himself. This all this and a whole lot more is Charles Cherry, starring at" the Portland this week in that rather appropriate medium, "The Bachelor." Incidentally. Cherry Is a great admirer of Clyde Fitch. "A great fellow. Fitch, my friend." he tersely said. "He was writing a play for me when he died on Charlea Cherry, la "The Bache lor," at the Portland. modern marriage. People beastly bored and all that, you know. Nothing about divorce. Fitch wrote one act and left a lot of characteristic notes so characteris tic that no one can make head or tall of them. I'm going to get another fellow to finish the play, but he is not Fitch. Won't be. either, in a hundred years." Which was either very warm praise for Fitch or a mighty left-handed compliment for his successor on the play. It would probably pay the real estate men to "sic" themselves on to Cherry. The reason Is that he Is enamored of Portland. . He would be a rather good prospect, the only trouble being that he can't make up whether It's cranberry land, apple acreage or city lots in which to permit some of the dollars he is hon estly turning In "The Bachelor" to so journ. "They are having quite a boom here. Isn't Seattle dead? What's the best thing to salt away some cash In here? Things still going up, I suppose," were a few more "Cherries." If it be permissible to so allude to his brevities. Was having a great tour. Up to now It had been "all to the good" for the theater managers, his last Jumps being New York to Winnipeg. Winnipeg to Seattle, thence to Portland. "That's Just giving money away" Cherry. Mr. Cherry rather resented the Impli cation he used English slang. lie did not believe it could be recognized that once he resided within the sound of Bow Bells, "that is when the wind was In the right direction." So although he was born In (Jreenwlch the place they reckon longtitude from Cherry calls himself a Cockney. Probably about SO, Mr. Cherry is one of those happy, contented fellows you read aboutv even If his wit Is Inclined to be pawky. He talks about his stage ex periences with glee. "I've been playing a great deal in Fitch plays since I came -over to this country W years ago. Two years In A Runaway Match.- two in "Her Own Way.' and a year In "Girls." Besides. I expect to put a year In "The Bachelor," " opined Mr. Cherry. "Appreciative audiences here. Not like the English audiences. Back there if they don't like a play, they walk out. Inci dentally they let you know they're doing It. Yes. very peaceful about It. Here they'll sit you out even If they think you're rotten. "First appearance? Was 16 years old and went on as Lord Mount Severn In East Lynne' in a provincial show. Lady Isabel was crouched on the stage. I was all made up with lines and can't have been right, for a kid up In the gallery yelled, 'Pipe the dook." (angllce for look at the duke). It rather queered my show." ' The telephone buzzed. "That you, Billy? All right." Then with an apolo getic smile, "I must ask you to excuse me, old man; my old friend Billy Thomp son Is In town and wants me to dine with him." F. H. PATTERSON IS HELD Federal Authorities Will Investigate Alleged Swindling of Women. F. H. Patterson, manager of the Pat terson Advertising Agency, who was arrested for sveindllng women by pre tending to furnish them with positions in connection with a "fake" company, and is accused of passing a bogus draft for $150 at the store of Tull & Glbba, was arraigned yesterday morning be fore Judge Bennett in the Municipal Court. Patterson waived examination and was held to the grand jury in J1500 cash bail. Marie Boyd, who was arrested with him, was held as a wit ness in $150 ball. The courtroom was visited by more than a dozen alleged victims of Pat terson. Deputy District Attorney Fitz gerald held a consultation with Post office Inspector Riches Just after the hearing, and it was announced that Patterson's case would be laid before the Federal grand jury. Deputy Dis trict Attorney Fitzgerald said that the charges against the Boyd girl, would not be pressed.

JOSEPH VAXLOO AND FAMILY, : S I ; -V- I ; - V J - i . MORNING OREGOXIAN, WED-ESDAT, U AND APPETITE SHARP FOR TURKEY Portland Ready to Consume 50,000 Gobblers at Thanks giving Day Feast. BIG HOMECOMING BEGINS Reduction In Price of Festive Fowl May Surprise Tardy Buyers. Football Game to IiUre Many. Jails Will Celebrate Day. With an apprehensive look in the eyes of about 50.000 turkeys, and an apprecUi tlve one in the eyes of about 200.000 would-be consumers of them, the Pass ing of Thanksgiving in Portland will be an event of moment to both the feathered and the unfeathered biped. That tomor row will witness the arrival of the de signed fate of almost Innumerable tur keys and other delicacies Is the heartfelt wish of thousands and thousands of child ren, while grown-ups are none the less jubilant in a possibly quieter way. All over the Willamette Valley turkeys have been raised, fattened and killed to satisfy the appetite all Portland has been saving for Thanksgiving day. Home Tics Attract. In reality, Portland will probably not be as full as usual, for although the boys and girls spread over a score of cities In the Northwest are returning to the shelter of the home neet tonight, thousands and thousands' of the city's younger and old people are migrating to towns on the O. R. & N.. to ranchce on the Southern Pacific and to homes scat tered on the trolley and inter-urban car lines. Thanksgiving is the home-coming day. With the farmer who grows his own birds there will be no worry about where the bird to be sacrificed to a National holldav Is to come from, but to the city bred dweller, who wants to commemor ate that first Thanksgiving of the Pil' grim Fathers, there is a tiny fly in the amber of his delight In the day. That tiny fly is the price of turkeys. Every one expects turkeys to be high- a week before the day of all days, before the demand has been estimated, but at the ultimate eve. it has been usual for a slump to appear. Demand Exceeds Supply. But even with the festive fowl, stand ing from 25 cents to 35 cents a pound, according to the size and quality of the bird, reduction in price seems most un likely. The demand this year is great er than the supply. So paterfamilias will probably, thle year, be satisfied with a smaller turkey. As for the bairns, in stead of that third and fourth helping, it will likely be, "now what will you have instead, dear, the turkey is fin ished?" It is not the rich man's family alone that Is destined to celebrate. The chil dren in the orphanages, the prisoners in the Jail, the old people at the poor farm all these and more will enjoy the boun ty of the day. At the hospitals almost the sickest child patient will rereive "one tiny taste," while the patients have been informed that the hospitals are prepared for almost any attack. The Young Women's Christian As sociation will give a dinner for "girls away from home." Tables are arranged to seat 100. and the surround ing walls will be decorated with the National colors. The Young Men's Christian Association will not observe the day at its new home at Sixth and Taylor streets, as the rooms are not yet completed. At the County Jail SherlfT Stevens has turned over the dinner arrange ments to the matron, Mrs. D. J. Cam eron. She says It will take 20 turkeys to feed her assortment of guests. At the Baby Home Mrs. H. Culton, matron, will furnish 2S of the children with the regulatlon'dlnner, and has ac cepted the offer of "Popcorn" Patterson, who sells from a wogan at Fifth and Washington streets to supply the children with hot corn and peanuts. Seventy-one Inmates of the Children's Home will be dined by the officers of that institution, while at the Detention Home for the Juvenile Court 26 Inmates will be given the regulation good things to eat. At the City Jail some hesitation was ex pressed as to making an announcement of Thanksgiving intentions.- fearing that a large number of old boarders, now free, may read of the event In time to get back. Stores and banks will all be closed. Traffic on the railroads will be heavy. Big excursions will be run to the beaches, while already the bookings for the Wil lamette Valley towns show that the traf fic tonight, the eve of Thanksgiving, and returning tomorrow., will be tremendous. In a number of cases special rates are being quoted. Thousands of those who admire the eport on the gridiron will gather at Mult nomah Feld to watch O. A. C. and Multnomah battle for the honors of the sphere. As many thousands will fill the theaters and vaudeville houses, for despite the unusually good bills, the holiday theater-goer Is not particular If he is amused. Then will come the Jangling of the telephone bells and racing of the doctors' autos. MARKET IS HEAVILY LADEN Thanksgiving Day Feast Slay Be Easily Stocked. The Thanksgiving markets, though they show a fine supply of good things to eat. have not quite the abundance and variety of last year's display. Turkeys are scarce, contrary to the hopes raised by stories of their numbers and quality a few weeks ago, and prices are tending upwards.' In several places the choicest birds cost as much as 35 cents a pound. Geese seern fairly plentiful and of good qual ity, at 25 cents; and there are choice domestic ducks at 30 cents a pound. Fine capons cost 30 to 35 cents, while the ordinary run of chicken prices is 20 cents a pound. Choice gninea fowl equal to pheas ant, if properly prepared cost J1.25 each. Wild geese sell at 75 cents, and a limited supply , of widgeon and mal lards cost 75 cents and $1 each. There are also a few teal at 50 cents, and canvas-backs at $1.50 each. Snipe are scarce, but still obtainable. A few Belgian hares and jackrabblts were also shown. Squabs cost about $1 a pair. The continued storm Is responsible for some scarcity and lack of variety in the fish market, besides delaying trains laden with- holiday supplies from the East and South. There is Eastern lobster at 40 cents a pound: scallops at 60 cents a pint; whiteflsh. pike and pickerel at 35 cents a pound, and "New York counts" at 90 cents. Shrimps cost 20 cents a pound: froglegs, 40 cents a dozen; Craps and clams are also to be had, though not as plentiful as usual at this season. ' r : . . . ' . ' f nsssssBryj Lovers of terrapin can secure these shelly delicacies at 50 cents to $1 each. A good variety of vegetables secures one important feature of the Thanks giving feast. Celery, both of the large and heart varieties, is, of course, the leader. The list Includes green peas and beans, hothouse cucumbers and to matoes, eggplant and artichokes, spin ach and Brussels sprouts, as well as the more characteristic "old-fashioned" Thanksgiving vegetables sweet pota toes, turnips, onions and squash. Pears, peaches, persimmons, pome granates and pineapples offer variety In flavor and form. Cranberries are the most popular of fruit just now, and cost 12 to 15 cents a quart. There are also huckleberries, straw berries and raspberries to be had. Excellent- grapefruit offers refreshing cocktails and salads. New oranges are available at from 2 to 40 cents a dozen.

Instead of soliciting in person for the purpose, as has been the custom of the board of managers of the institution in former years, the women are heralding their charitable appeal through the col umns of the press this year. Any of the charitably inclined may telephone the Patton Home, Woodlawn 170O. and dona tions will be called for. LIVESTOCK CENTER ASKED Chiefs Want Low Rales for Cattle Shipment to Portland.

Royal I and food " 4 m Makes No alum Thp onlv from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar THAT DRYDOCK TRUST IXTEXDIXG LESSEE SPEAKS OF THE RUMORED COMBINE. President of the Portland Drydock Company Declares Proposed Lease Is Sound Business. PORTLAND, Nov. 23. (To the Editor.) During the past week striking head lines, several columns of news matter and one strong editorial have called at tention to the interest exhibited by the people of. Portland In the proposed ren tal of the Port of Portland drydock to the Oregon Drydock Co. Upder such conditions it is a fair assumption that this is a matter of considerable public concern, and hence there is some en couragement that additional facts in the case will not be out of place. It Is noteworthy that the comment up to date has been generally unfavorable to the consummation of such an arrange ment, and that- the initial stimulus to the discussion was given by individuals who are apparently on a hair trigger, not only to detect the earmarks of a gi gantic trust, but fierce in their desire to save the shipping Interests of this city from the strangle .hold of a private corporation. First cam the dark mut terlngs of the formation of a great com bination of drydock owners of the entire Pacific Coast, and then the horrible proof of such unholy collusion as evidenced by (the local development. Since the analysis has already gone so far without even being referred to the writer who is the chief Instigator of tlw whole damnable plot, let us carry It a step farther and see If we cannot smoke a few more niggers out of the woodpile. The valiant warriors who first publicly offered their services in defense of the city's interests are Messrs. Park inson and Crowe. The former is the ed itor of the Portland Labor Press and is an Intelligent and consistent socialist. He says what he believes and has a whole newspaper to say it In, so necessarily has to keep his believing apparatus working overtime.

When Mr. Parkinson told The Oregonian reporter about his troubles In saving the Port of Portland dock for the dear people (at a net cost of about $32. 000 a year) he just barely touched the latchstrlng of his generous bounty of In side facts, but when he got up to work ing pressure in the editor's sanctum of the Portland Labor Press he uncorked a cloud of hot stuff that almost blistered the rolls of his printing press. Do not be discouraged if you cannot get a copy of that particular issue. Later numbers will be equally fervid with the warmth of romance. That brings us to the real champion of the marine supremacy of Portland, Capt. Crowe, of the firm of Anderson & Crowe. The business of these gentlemen Is shiplining and repair work, and as a side line the Captain is marine sur veyor for a board of underwriters. It certainly is a nifty little combination to be able to decide just what work a ship needs to have, a fighting chance to get the Job on your own specifications, and then frequently to have the satisfaction of granting clearance papers to a vessel on account of the excellence of your own handiwork. This somewhat detailed explanation of the vocations and environments of Messrs. Parkinson & Crowe is necessary to develop Just why their solicitude about saving the Port of Portland drydock as a public utility may not be based upon the reasons set forth In their interviews. The real causes of their agony of mind mnv never be known unless they see fit to further enlighten us. but the m-oiect to run the Port of Portland dry dock and the Oregon Drydock Co. as one concern under such reasonable reg ulations as the Port of Portland Com mission may impose is Just an ordinary every day piece of business horse sense and probably strongly appeals as such to the bulk of the citizens or roruanu. The nnlv nuestion is whether the Oregon Drydock Co. can afford' to assume this responsibility which will Insure a very material saving to the farfamed tax navcra and an infinitely better chance for the shipowners' "white alley." So far as the threatened drydocK trust goes, that rumor can be quickly disposed of by the positive statement that there Is no organization of the kind referred to. nor Is there any such organization under process of formation.
