V Iff THE SUNDAY OBEGOISTAF, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 25, 1904. IXES MUST E Mayor Will Enforce the Ordinance. GOES INTO EFFECT OCT. Councilman H. R. Albee Will Swear to Complaints. TEST CASE WILL BE FOUGHT Saloonmen and Restaurant-Keepers Are Making No Effort to Alter Their Premises, and Await Decision of Courts. The ordinance relating to "boxes" In saloons and restaurants will be enforced after October 1, even If Individuals have to take steps to bring that enforcement before the courts. That is the position taken by Councilman H. K. Albee, who cays: "I believe that there is an impression in the minds of a number of restaurant and saloon men In regard to the box ordi nance which should be corrected before money is spent in useless alterations. It has, within a day or two, been said in my hearing that pome believe that the ordinance allows the sale of liquor in a private room, provided the room has" a floor space of 100 feet. This impression is erroneous. Section 1 says that 'No person shall sell any liquor to be de livered or used in any side room, back room, upper room or other apartment in the same or an adjoining building, and shall not maintain or connect therewith any alcove, booth or box. "Section 2 is on another line and makes it unlawful to carry on a saloon or rostaurant having private rooms, boxes, etc 'Provided, however, that this section (this section, mind you) shall not apply to a private room having a floor space of more than 160 square feet.' To state it more simply still, section 2 allows a room having a floor space of more than 150 square feet, but section 1 prohibits the sale of liquor therein. "These facts practically settle the mat ter. It is the duty of the proper authori ties to see that the provisions are en forced. Public sentiment demands it, and while I dislike to do "so, I will swear to complaints myself ifI And any violation of the ordinance after It takes effect on October 1." "The ordinance will be enforced," said Mayor Williams. "We can do no more. I have not the ordinance before me now, but I think the provisions are perfectly clar as to the intent of the law. My reading of the ordinance gave me to un derstand that it is for the purpose of putting a stop to meetings in secret, but if the room is open I do not see how it can be termed a box, alcove, booth or any other contrivance for privacy. "While I have not the ordinance at hand at present, I do not think it was In tended just' as Mr. Albee states, but It is very sweeping in its provisions, and as I interpret it the Intention Is to put a stop to side door box traffic where meetings are carried on in secret. Whether It will apply as Mr. Albee states I cannot say, but I think not" Saloons and restaurants which are being conducted upon legitimate lines, as the proprietors contend, and which have no side doors, are making no effort to alter their premises. Some of the places which are liberally patronised will remain as they are until a test case is heard. Pro prietors are reticent regarding their inten tions, but some admit they will fight the ordinance on the ground that it is dis criminative, and consequently class legis lation. None of the larger restaurants where meals and liquors are served in boxes in tend to pay any attention to the ordinance until compelled to by the courts sustaining the ordinance of the Council. Restaurant men declare that the ordinance was only Intended to affect the notorious dives where boxes are the principal source of Income and the main outgo of patrons' finances, but Mayor Williams says the law is sweeping, and Councilman Albee says it will be enforced even If he has to file complaints himself. LITTLE IKS AT Y. M. C. A. TTATJ, Refreshments to Be Served Winter Classes Open on Monday. "The Little Inn," which Is being estab lished at the Young Men's Christian As sociation building, promises to be one of the most popular Innovations of that" well patronized resort. The inn will be a re freshment room, and all varieties of soft drinks will be served. It is being fit ted up on the order of a Colonial kitchen and will be very tasteful In its decora tions. The ceiling is heavily paneled and the wainscoting is high. The wood is fin ished a rich, dark green, and the walls are done in chrome yellow. It is located on the main floor and will accommodate about 25 people. While the Inn is not being established with a view to making money, the asso ciation feels that it will fully pay for itself. There is a great demand among the young men who frequent the parlors and gymnasiums for cooling drinks and refreshments in the evening and a good patronage Is anticipated. The educational classes will open Mon dav evenintr and thr svnt -arm the occasion of a pleasant gathering of aii men lmeresieo. in tne work. W. M.

HAS NO FEAR OF 0EEG0N BOOT Cunning, the Jailbreaker, Frees Him self In 7 1-2 Minutes. Cunning, the jailbreaker, who says he played ball with Harry Tracy, freed him self from two pairs of handcuffs, a pair of leg irons and an Oregon boot In the County Jail yesterday afternoon within 7 minutes from the time they were put on him by Under-Sheriff Morden and Dep uty Sheriff Moreiand. The Oregon boot is a heavy iron shackle weighing about 20 pounds, and the one used was of the most approved pattern. It was locked securely -upon Cunning's left ankle. -and the leg irons and hand cuffs were also securely fastened. One pair of handcuffs locked upon him were of the latest style, guaranteed to hold anybody, but these came off as easily as the rest, and all within the time men tioned. Cunning complimented Sheriff Word upon his handcuffs and other appli ances, saying: "Nobody could get out of these," meaning of course nobody except himself. Cunning was locked In a room alone after he had been securely ironed, and at the expiration of VA minutes he gave the signal that he was free from all Incum brances. The door was opened ana tnis fact was fountl to be true. The handcuffs and leg irons and the Oregon boot were lying on a table, but whether cunning had unlocked them In taking them off and then relocked them he did not say. After it was over the Sheriff remarked. You are all rirfit. Come and take din ner with me Monday at the club." 'I will, thank you," responded his guest. who then proceeded to Inform the Sheriff he could get out of any ceil ne locKea nun into in a short time, and that he would tell him confidentially how he got rid of the handcuffs Oregon boot and leg irons so easily. The exhibition given by cunning was witnessed by a number of newspaper men. Sheriff Word, Deputy Sheriffs, Court house attaches and others, about 30 per sons in all, who were all free to ac knowledge that It was all genuine and never before had they witnessed any thing more remarkable. Cunning has mystified the multitudes all over the United States with his performance. He is In Portland to fill an engagement at the Lyric Theater. GOES TO NEW COMMAND. General Funston Departs for Chicago With Regret at Leaving Portland. Brigadier-General Frederick Funston, accompanied by Mrs. Funston and sons, McArthur and Frederic D. Funston, left last night In the private car of- Gen eral Manager E. E. Calvin, of the O. R. & N., for Chicago, where the General will assume command of the Depart ment of the Lakes, with, headquarters at Chicago. General Funston and party spent yes- terday at the Portland, most of the afternoon being given over to visits of farewell by the many friends made dur ing their stay In the city and vicinity. The General has formed a high re gard for Oregon during his stay in the Northwest, and is sorry to leave this district, though he recognizes the fact that his post on the Lakes is a larger and perhaps more Important one. "I have enjoyed my residence in the Northwest very much, Indeed," salcL the General while waiting for his carriage preparatory to leaving for the train. "I have met with every help and courtesy while stationed here and will always remember this part of the coun try, and Portland especially, with kindness and regard." 'A soldier," continued the General oracularly, "lives In a tent, ready at any time to respond to orders. "While Chi cago may be the headquarters for a larger "command, I at the same time realize that the Department of the Co lumbia is one of the most important in the country. It now has 4500 troops commanded by 200 ofllcers scattered throughout 18 different posts. There are 1000 artillerymen In "Washington along Puget Sound and that state has as many. If not more, soldiers than any one state in the union. "During the time ithat I have been in command of this department the num ber of troops has been Increased, im provements have been made to the bar racks and fortifications and I feel that in leaving the district I will have done ome good by my stay here. Brigadier-General Constant "Williams, who succeeds to the command of tho Department of the Columbia, will reach Portland September 27, and will remain In the city for a short time before going to his post at Vancouver. He will De accompanied by his wife and daughter. Mrs. Croxton, the wife or captain Croxton, of the Philippines. TICKETS FOE ST. LOUIS. Will Be Sold in October for Those Going in November. A. L. Craig, the general passenger agent of the O. R. & N., has announced that St. Louis tickets will be on sale for October 27, 28 and 29. When the sales days for the St. Louis tickets were provided for by the company, no provision was made for the month of November, the last dates upon which the tickets would be sold being announced as October 3, 4 and 5. Since the Fair will run through the month of November, and It having been made known to the com pany that a large number of people would like to visit the Exposition during that month, the management has decided to accommodate them by the additional dates. The sales for this month and for Octo ber will be heavier than for any time pre ceding, and it Is estimated that almost as many will take advantage of the addi tional opportunity to visit the Fair.

Outside districts are knocking at the door for admission and a given amount of room. Every county in the state has noti fied Chairman Baker through the commit teeman that It wants room for some of its people, and In a number of instances county chairmen asked what could be done for them In the way of getting spe cial trains. .

Mllllgan, who has acceptably acted as organist at Calvary Pres byterian Church, will board the train for New York City, where he proposes to further perfect himself In organ playing, and may study under William C. Carl, one of the greatest organists In America. Mr. Milllgan is an Ore gon boy, who graduated from the Portland Academy in the class of '01, and for years has shown a marked aptitude for music and especially organ and piano-playing. He has studied organ-playing for two seasons with Miss Leonora M. Fisher, tho organist of the Temple Beth Israel and the First Congregational Church, and has also been a valued ac companist at concerts. Mr. Mll llgan, who has a most promising future before him, hopes to make organ-playing and the direction of church choirs his profession. here, but tho oommittee is writing and wiring for special train service. Present indications point to a large crowd from the valley next Saturday. Here In Portland every precinct commit teeman is at work. Mr. Baker admitted a few days ago that some of the Republi cans might be lukewarm because Oregon Is safe for the Republican ticket, but, even admitting that as true, he sent out Invi tations to the S4 precinct committeemen requesting them to furnish him with 10 names eacn in order tnat tne souvenir Imitations might be mailed to their con stituents. In some instances the pretty card sent out in the way of invitation was enclosed, and each response has contained from 10 to 40 names and addresses. From the country replies are coming In Jiist as thickly,- but each letter Is a plea for seats, for "wo don't want to miss the big meeting" Is the cry. Mr. Baker Is depending on Major Mo- Donell to seat the people, and If all can not be accommodated there will be an overflow meeting with the slogan, "20,000 for Roosevelt and Fairbanks." AUTOS FOE EVERYBODY. Portland Company Will Operate Thorn for Passengers and Freight. ' Inside of six months the residents of this city and Its visitors will be "Seeing Portland" In huge electric automobiles. Articles of incorporation have been filed by C. A. Bell, A. C. Mcintosh and H. "W. Goddard, and the firm that will give to Portland big auto cara and auto freight and express cars Is called the Oregon Auto Dispatch Company. The object of the company Is to have a number of these great cars In operation during the Lewl3 and Clark Fair, both .for hauling passen gers and for hauling freight. These big auto cars are being operated in the large cities of Europe and America with a marked degree of success. They are al most noiseless and do not litter nor smell. Each of the four wheels ihas a seven-Inch tire, so the property-owners cannot say that they wear out the streets. The advantage of this method of seeing the city will be that Instead of being con fined to certain streets, visitors can be driven through any passable street and through the parks, thus having a beauti ful view of the city. The passenger autos will be very large, having six seats, each of which will hold four people. The front seats will be a trifle lower than those In the rear, thus affording a good view for all. In the ex treme rear will be a single 'dickey" seat, where a man armed with a megaphone will call out the principal points of In terest to the passengers. The local com pany will be connected with similar com panies In Denver, Colorado Springs, L03 Angeles and San Francisco. The different companies will book parties and sell tick ets on their different lines, but will have no financial' connection. The freight vans will be huge affairs, having a capacity of five tons. They will transport freight of a general character about the city. The capital stock of the company Is stated as $30,000. Wood Contests Tax Titles. Thomas A.

TTimtlnsrton. the oldest Con gregational clergyman In Oregon, If not on the Pacific Coast, men at me resiaence o. his daughter, Mrs. D. D. Clarke, 388 Fifth street, in this city, yesterday morning. He -was born near Vergennes, Vt., April 25, 1812, thus being 92 years and 5 months old at the time of his death. Hi early life was spent on a farm, working In Sum merrand going to school In Winter as op portunity offered, acquiring the rudiments of an education. In 1831 he began teaching school at $12 per month, and taught five months. He persevered in his studies un til at length he received $18 per month, tho highest -wage for teaching in public schools In Northeastern New York, to which regloii he had removed from Ver mont. At the age of 25 he was admitted as a student to the University of "Ver mont, and was graduated In August, 1842. During his student life In college he taught school at various times, thus se curing means to pay his college expenses, and so continued after graduating until 1S44, when he removed to Illinois. In Chi cago he found a population of 10,000. "With no equipment, save ability to teach, and no opportunity in that direction offering in the great city of Illinois, he went to Rockford, and in September of the above year opened a classical school. A few years later he was elected County School Superintendent, serving about eight years. Out of the classical school referred to has grown the Rockford (111.) Female Sem inary and Belolt (Wis.) College of today. About 1850 Mr. Huntington established a book business In Rockford and carried it on successfully until his establishment wae destroyed by fire In 1S57. That, with the panic of that year, sadly crippled Mr. Huntington. He resolutely met every con tingency, making the best of everything, but he could not make headway against the tide of conditions prevailing up to 1864. Having been tendered the position of chief clerk by his brother-in-law, "William H. "Waterman. Superintendent of Indian Affairs of Washington Territory, Mr. Huntington came via the Isthmus to the Pacific Coast, leaving New Tork In De cember, 1864. and arriving at Olympia Jan uary 25, 1865 and was connected with the Indian service until 1S78. Mr. Huntington studied theology privately, and was li censed to preach In Portland, June 22, 1872. He preached In the Congregational Church. Olympia, In 1S71-74. and In 18S1 was called to the pastorate of the Congre gational Church at Eureka, Cal., which he served much of the time with signal success for about 20 years, when advanc ing years compelled him to close his min isterial career, to which he was greatly devoted. Mr. Huntington left six children, as follows: Dr. Thomas "W. Huntington. San Francisco: J. B. Huntington and Mrs. D. D. Clarke, Portland; A. H. Huntington, Whitney, Or.; B. S. Huntington, The Dalles, and Mrs. A. J. Monroe, Eureka, FOE NEW ELECTRIC LINE. Joint Committee of Eastern Suburbs Effects Permanent Organization.

It was voted to appoint an executive committee of five members, with C. F. Clark as chairman, whose duties would be to in terview "electric railway companies and correspond with others relative to getting the railway built. The other members are Captain J. T. Apperson, of Park Place; O. D. Eby, of Oregon City; J. R. Reed, of Mllwaukie, and Captain Pope, ot Harmony. This committee will use the statistics which , were collected by the committees some time ago. Some of the members called attention to thefact that this road could carry most of-"the travel to and from the Chautauqua every year, which runs up to 25,000 people. REJOICE IN GOOD HARVEST. Jewish Congregations Celebrate Suk koth In Booths. The festival of Sukkoth, or feast of the Tabernacle, was celebrated' at the Jewish synagogues' of the city yesterday, ser vices being held morning and evening in commemoration of abundant harvests and of the life led by the children of Israel in ancient times when they resided in booths. The tabernacle or booth In which the feast Is held 13 always erected in the open, so that the stars and the harvest moon may be seen through Its covering of green boughs. Unleavened bread is made for this occasion, and the rabbi per sonally cuts a piece for each one present. After the bread and wine have been blest, general rejoicing over the fruitful harvest Is Indulged in and the event made a happy one. Just one year ago, when the congrega tion Ahaval Sholem was located on Sixth street, the subject of building a new synagogue was discussed at the Sukkoth. and the first subscription volunteered. Great enthusiasm was aroused in the project, and some ventured to hope that by 1904 the congregation would have a new home In which to celebrate this happy occasion. This wish has been fulfilled and In the booth erected outside the beautiful new synagogue at Park and Clay streets there was especial thanksgiving yesterday at all services. Services were also held at Talmud Torah and at Temple Beth Israel. The scriptural command for the celebra tion of this feast is: Thou Bhalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven " days after thou hast gathered in thy corn and wine. Deut. xvi:14. And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou and thy son. and thy daughter, and thy manser vant and thy maidservant and the Levlte. the stranger, and the fatherleas. and the widow, that are within thy gates. HIGH SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY Heating Plant Is Installed Attend-, dance Figures Show Small Increase. There will be vjery little change in the condition of the public schools tomor row morning from the report made on the opening day. The High School wilt be completely ready for business, as the heating plant has been installed and from now on the rooms can all be thor oughly heated In that structure. It was stated a week go that the Uadd School (formerly the Park) was all ready with the exception of the drying of the paint. That Is not ex actly the case, however; as there Is still considerable work to be done. In the meantime the portable buildings are being- used. The figures of attendance during the last week show a slight increase in some of the schools over the totals for the same time last year, and in a num ber of instances they are less than last year, but this is explained by calling at tention to the redisricting of the city. The figures for the week show the following: Woodlawn 343, being 53 in crease; Portsmouth 243, being 39 In crease; Peninsula 110, being 10 de crease?
