"NKAIl" ISKKH THK HLOUAX. (Coutluued (rom page 1.) listen to these men whone very acts have branded them violators of the law. If this ordinance will do what it Is Intended to do, It will have a tendency to rid the town of these persons who persist In violating the local option laws. I Intend to sup- '" port the ordinance." Kether la Doubt. ,' Councilman Sether was also one of the councilmen who yielded to the threats of the "near" beer ar tists. Through his admissions, he pave the council to understand that he was misled, and was afraid that the "Interests" would carry their ne rurlous threats Into execution, and thus render the acts of the council Illegal. In such an event he con tended that a law-suit would follow, and that the city's credit would he placed In a questionable light. "In the event you can assure me that these men will not carry their threats Into execution I will vote for the ordinance," said Sether, "other wise 1 will ha"e to vote agulnst Us adoption." it was Councilman Settler's conten tion that the license of these resorts should be placed at such a flKure us to prohibit them from operating, Jn this 'way he thought conditions could be Improved. Other than a high license Councilman Bother ad vocated the Insertion of a clause whereby the council could revoke the the license when they found that the persons to whom licenses were granted were curr;fng un an Illicit traflic. Town Will Uo Wet. According to the remarkH of Coun cilman Fullerlon, Hoseburg will go "wot" at the next election by a vote of at least two to one,- "I have ex amined the ordinance in question," aald Councilman Kultcrton, "and af ter due consideration J find that I am unable to give it support. We have the local option law county and state and It Is up to the county of ficers to make good. Under this or dinance I And that tho city Is given the right to prosecute itersons who sell liquor Illegally. From this source we might get some Dues, but sup pose that our prosecutions were not biiccessful. Then we would natural ly have to pay tho coHts. I do not think the city should saddle onto itself prosecutions of this nature. In further conversation, Council in a 11 Kullerton said he had visited a number of "dry" towns throughout the state of late, and had noticed that conditions were about the same as In ltoseburg. Without further argument or dis cussion the ordinance was pluced to a vote, and was lost bya vote of 7 to 4. Councilman Chapman, also fav ored the ordinance, was unavoidably detained from the meeting. lU'Holiitlon Is Adoptl. In supplementing the "near" beer ordinance submitted by Councilman George 10. Ilouck, with a resolution giving to the city council the right to reject the Licensed of those imp soiiB convicted of selling Intoxicating liquors, the public received another "lemon't which might well bo con sidered a Joke. Tho resolution was submitted by Councilman Kullerton, and It fs the belief of The News that he ucted sincerely, but without due consideration of the conditions. hor Instance, Biippose that the li cense of one of the present "near' beer cinpenners was rejected for some causo or another. With tho neceHsary weapons at hand, It would he a very easy matter for this person to con summate a factitious huIo with the re sult that another IIcciiho would prob ably be granted to the pretended pur cluiser. This fellow might bo a bar tender, or oven a boothlack just so he was connected with the resort ef fected. While the resolution was adoptod last evening, it does not ap pear to meet tho approval or many of tho councilmen, who at the time of Its introduction, were unablo to detect Its weak points. In siteuklng of the resolution fol lowing last ovenlng'B meeting of the council one or the Influential coun cilmen said: "With all duo courteRy to Mr. Kull erton, and believing that ho acted sincerely, I do not think the provi sions of the resolution are In har mony with the detdres of thi citizens, nor do I think thnt Its onfon cm-ni will amount to naught. It Is an oasy matter for one of thoio fellow to 'sell out', and at the samo time maintain a controlling tnlon-tit In bis establishment. Such gitiuei are time worn, and are bewhtskered with old ago. I think the best thing we can do Is to re-corndder thin resolution and vote it down. oners fa cod Judge Kurd well, appar ently aware of their fate. "You denerve being Bent to the gallows," Judge Bordwell add reused James M Numara. "It was the rec ommenda loiiu of the district a I tor-, ney that suveH you from such a fute. ; James almost collapsed as he sat ; down. John stood up with eyes sunken and displayed deep worry. t Judge ilordwell said he was fully as guilty as his brother. The men were hurried back to Jail at tho conclu sion of the sentence where they wIM remain awaiting their journey to Sun (Juentln. I Following the passing of sentence Judge Ilordwell said: j "Some labor leaders who are de nouncing the McNamaras are abso lutely as guilty as they are and I ; know they are implicated In the dynamiting outrages. 1 know as much about them as does Juinea Mc Numnru hlmseir. J know exactly who wero Implicated. The sentences pro nounced by the Judges wero right."

The district attorney also declared that the cud of Justice had been satisfied through the confessions of the two brothers.
