TINAL ACTION WITHHELD Amendment Grant More Leeway to IrotX'"t and Revoke Demand for Club Fee Special Com mittee for Revision Named. Adoption of th proposed tax levy of I mlila for th cUy. mm recommended by tb wy and meaaa committee, occupied only Or minutes of the time of the City Coancll yesterday moraine and provoked no debate, although she subject dealt wtta the Interests of erery taxpayer. The attempt to adopt the proposed liquor ordi nance resulted In so many squabblea and swrh a confusion of proposed amendments that after consldertns; the matter for two hours the Council returned the ordinance with the proposed amendments to the original committee to rearrange and then adjourned. On motion of Councilman Cellars It was decided to amend the ordinance so as to Include In the definitions of a wholesale lKiuor dealer a provision re quiring that he sell only to retailers, and not be permitted to send a delivery wsgon about the city to provide families with spirits. In presenting his amend ment. Mr. Cellars said It was not Justice to the retail liquor dealers that the wholesaler should seek the trade of peo ple about the city. Retail Liquor Seller Refined. In defining a retail liquor dealer. Mr. Cellars Insisted that he be represented to be one who sold to consumers only, to distinguish him from the wholesaler, but bis motion to so amend the ordinance waa lost. Councilman Baker offersJ a wrt'ten amendment to the erdfnauce to permit the druggists who do not operate under licenses, to sell liquor In any smount for asedlclnal purposes. The ur4! nance, as originally prepared, provided that a drug. glat was one who should not sell without a license, more than four ounces of liquor In a day to one person. The proposed amendment brought Coun cilman Lombard to his feet In lndl.nsnt opposition, tie said: "These druggl'ts came to us In the committee meetings and wanted to sell liquor without a license, and finally we agreed that they could sell aa much as tour ounces a day to one person for siediclnal purposes, and that they should keep a register with the names of all who purchased liquor and ttie purpojo for which It was purchased. They agreeJ lo this, but now tliey have come back and want class legislation, giving tlicm the right to sell liquor In any quantity without a license. In competition with three who pay regular licenses. "These men are not entitled to sell liquor that way without a license, simply eecanse some one comes In and says be la sick and needs It." Itruggists W in Point.. Councilman Lombard wanted to know If the proposed amendment would not allow the druggists to nake a dlvplay of liquor In their windows and make their chief business Its sale- Councilman Cellars insisted thst the amendment would allow a display of the spirits, but Mr. Baker denied this. When the matter came to a vote, the amendment proposed by Mr. Baker was adopted, and the large delegation of druggists who were In the Council cham ber went awar with cheerful faces. Council men Wallace and Cellars made a vigorous attack on the ordinance pro viding licenses for clubs. The ordinance, as originally prepared, provided that dubs be permitted to sell liquor to the members and guests for a license of SOW a year, the number of licenses being lim ited to M. Clob Licence Annulled. On motion of Councilman Wallace, the subdivision of definitions describing a club waa stricken out. While Councilman Cellars waa endear erlng to get an amendment adopted pro viding for family liquor stores, which were not mentioned In the original ordi nance. Councilman Lombard moved to have the ordinance and Its proposed amendments referred to the original committee, but the motion was lost. Later Councilman Kusbllght put the same motion, when a tie vote resulted, the Mayor voting for the negative, causing the motion to lose. Annsnd moved to adjourn, but the Us Tor ruled thst Cel lars bad the floor and that Annsnd was out of order. At last Lombard succeeded In putting his moton a second time for the referring of the whole metter to the original committee, and the motion was carried. Before the plan of reading the ordi nance section by section wss adopted. Councilman Annand presented an amend ment to Section 4. which hsd been pre pared br the committee, providing that only retail liquor stores should be pro hibited from being within s feet of a publlo school. Mr. Annand explained that the change waa necessary to pro tect the Wetnhard Brewery, which would have to go out of business If the original wording waa adopted. The amendment waa adopted, after Mr. Cellars suggested that the word public be taken from be fore the word schools, that large private schools might not be troubled with near by saloons. It was decided that the li cense committee could regulste the sa loons to protect the private schools. WOMAN'S SCARE COSTS Chased by Ball. Mrs. Green Sues for $10,000; Gets MH.

PELHAM GREAT IS LOST STAR IS BEWILDERED AFTER PRESS CLtB JINKS. Iftpnotlst Tells Friends Home la "Right Alongside Big New Building." "Lost in a Great City" Is the title of a play, but It Is not often such a con tingency arises wherein a real, live footllght favorite actually experiences such an Inconvenlece. but such was the fste of Felham. the great hypnotist, etc who appears at the Grand The ater this week. Furthermore, it was not Pelbam'a first visit to Portland, for he had been here several times before, and ha ex plains. In a measure, that It was due to Portland's rapid growth that he got lost and did not know where he lived. Pelham arrived In Portland Monday morning to appear at his regular en gagement at the Grand, and In the meantime he also agreed to appear at the Portland Preas Club Jlnka at the Helilg Theater, and between rehea-s-als. his three shows at the Grand, and his' Press Club appearance, not to men tion hla participation In the midnight luncheon served by the newspaper men at the Portland Hotel, he became ao confused, despite hla Intellecual and hypnotic attalnmenta. that he forgot the name and number of the hotel at which he had registered. About 12:30 A. M. the night of the Press club show. Pelham. accompanied by his wife, decided to go to his hotel, and the representatives of the Press Club promptly put an automobile at his disposal. The hypnotist and his wife entered the vehicle, but upon seating them selves they had forgotten the name of the hotel at which they had registered, and the only description they could fur nish was "it Is right alongside of a big new building." As Portland has outgrown swaddling clothes, and since there have been sev ersl big buildings erected since Pelham wss last here, the members of the club volunteered the names of the various hostelrles located In the shadows of new structures, and after the names of a half doxen or so hsd been reeled off to the "sleep producer" he recognised the name of hla domicile and was whisked on to alumberland. Incidentally. It might be mentioned. Pelham did not hold any hands, nor make any passu over the high brows of his hosts in the effort to find out where he lived.
