Views of Count'iliuen. "The council has been guided in this matter by the city charter alone," Mayor Haynes declared. "Mr. Connor's application may be con sidered disposed of for good unless the city attorney renders an opinion adverse to the ordlnauce." "The city has enough near-beer places now," said liouck. "1 suppose though, there would be no objection to granting Mr. Connor another li cense if we were sure he would sell nothing stronger than near-beer." "It Is neither our place nor fair to Mr. Connor to assume that he will sell stronger liquor than near-beer," waB Sether's view. "If we are to assume that the sort-drink estab lishments are vlolatiug the law then we have no right to issue a license to Connor or anyone else. If we do not hold such an Iden, then It's our place to grant him a license as readily as we have others and for any other class or business. If Mr. Connor should violate the law it would be a matter for tho authori ties to handle." Mullen waxed sarcastic. "It looks like nothing strongur than near-beer was being sold In the city, doesn't It?" he said. "Look at the daily spectacle of men staggering about on the streets drunk. I say right now that I will never vote for another Baloon In this city until the license Is raised to $500 a year. H there is going lo be an Indiscriminate sale of booze the city should get n reason able revenue from It." "I'm in favor of making the license $1000 a year," said Mlcelli. "That suits me better," Mullen re plied. Butch of I'aviiiK Ordered. The council awarded the Clurk Henery Company contracts for $10, 800 worth of paving. The streets Involved, together with the respective bids for the work, are: Flint, from Lane to Mosher, $1 2"0. Mosher, from railroad track to river, $4000. Chadwick. from Washington to Cass. $3000. Fine, rrom Woodward to Kloed. $1550. Douglas, completion of east end, $1000. The Clark-Hcnery Company de clined to Bubmit a hid for the pav ing of the intersection of North JackBO)! street and Second Avenue South, North Hosoburg. An ordinance was passed authoriz ing the paving of South Juckson street, from Mosher to Haynes. An other ordinance enacted revises the Application of Robert Connor for i license to sell near-beer caused a livision in the city council Monday lights resulting in only a teututive lettlement of the matter. It required tight affirmative votes to grant the icense, but only seven councilmen ut of the ten present cast such votes. I'hese were Sether. Sykes, linker, Ml elli, Krohn, Clements and Jones. I'hose voting in the negative were louck, Mm I Inn and Chapman. The charter provides that the first leven near-beer licenses may he la med by a majority vote of the coun llmeu present at a meeting, but that ill licenses after that number can inly be Issued by nt least a two hlrds affirmative vote of the entire ouncil, which is eight out of a total if twelve. Connor's application was leld to be the eighth, but his attor ley, Elbert II. Hermann, in an ud Ircss to the council, contended that he application was In fact the cventh presented and should have teen treated as such. Connor Is operating two soft drink establishments In Iloseburg. His icense covering one of these is in iluded in the first six issued by the lotincll. He applied for the second icense eight days ago, conjointly tith an application submitted by R. . Mathews. It was contended that ponnor'B application was the first one If the two, but the council guve pre ledence to Mathews' because he was llready in business and entitled, In ielr opinion, to first consideration. Slth the issuance of a license to itathews, Connor then became nuin ler eight and amenable to the two hlrds ordinance. Only seven coun ilnien were present nt the meeting, io the vote was deferred until at last eight could bo present. Herman Threatens Suit. "The records will show beyond Uestlon thnt Mr. Connor's appllca :ion was the seventh on the list," said Mr. Hermann in his address to ;he council. "In brushing aside and Idrs.

Arbitration is the remedy adopted to settle a disputed claim presented to the council by W. C. Gaddis, the contractor, for making a 111-foot cross-cut on tne -ortn ltosonurg tr)c IVIICftV fll'CO f I VV sewer system to necessarily eliminate jIH J, LjUl ulVtiJ ILLu an up-nui gruae piacea in tne survey. Mr. Gaddis' bill is for $174, based on actual cost, plus 10 per cent. The council held that Mr. Gnddis was entitled to only the same rate of pay as he was charging in his contract lor the entire system. The bill whs cut down to $55 and Mr. Gadilis re rused to accept it. Councilman Ml celli pointed out that both Caddis and the city would lose by a lawsuit and he moved that the matter be re ferred to a trio of arbitrators, one chosen by the council, the second by Gaddis and the third by the other two members. Gadilis assented to this plan. Mayor Haynes then named Councilman A. A. Jones to represent the city. The other two members are yet unannounced. Other Sewer Matters. The action of the council a week ago in rejecting the remonstrance 01' A. S. Frey against the Inclusion In the North Hosehurg sewer system 01' 125 feet of his property which, he ulleged, could not be benefitted, was rescinded Monday night by the al lowance of the protest. Mullen voiced a solitary dissenting vote, de claring it was establishing a bad precedent to eliminate any part of a system of sewerage after it had onco been established. It was plain ly shown to the council, however, by Mr. Frey nnd Councilman liouck, that the property cut out of the sys tem was unfit for residence purposes and that it would be unjuBt to force Mr. Krey to pay a sewer assessment on it. The council adopted the estimate or $229 or City Engineer Germond for an extension of the North Rose burg sewer system to block No. 6!l. The engineer was directed to pre pare plans and specifications for the construction of u sewer In the vi cinity of Rast Avenue, or, ns the peti tion of the property owners is worded.

Gives Farclil Aspect To Pttiseculion u( allies 01 Stttl Trust (Special to tho Evening Review). Ol.YMPIA, Wash.. July 25. J. 11. Wilson, section foreman on the Northern Pnclllr Railway, today con fessed to the horrible murder of Archie Coble and his 1 7-year-old wife at Rainier, Wash., on the night of July !. according to the announce ment of Sheriff Gaston today. 1'he Cobles were slain with an ax as ihey slepi In their bed. The mur derer then profaned the body of .Mrs. Coble, who was shortly to huvo he- oine a mother. Wiisnn has a wife and five children, lie lived near the Coble home. He was arrested four days ago after his wife had told the police that lie washed blood from his person the morning after the mur ders. The only explanation Wilson gives or Ills crime is that he possessed an unconlrollable mania to kill. He had 110 grievance of any kind against' the Cobles. When the murders were dis- overed, Wilson volunteered Informa tion that led to the arrest of Swan Peterson, a slightly demented man, who later proved an alibi. Though the crimes are alike, there is nothing to connect Wilson with the murder of the Hill family at Ardenwiild, near Portland, u few weeks prior to the murder of the Cobles.

WASHINGTON. July 25. The movement started In Oregon for the mining and sale at cost of Alaskan coal by tho Government lo consum ers, bus been taken up by Repre sentative l.iifferly, of Oregon, with Secretary of the Interior Fisher. Lafferty said today that he showed tho petition being circulated In Ore gon making this demand to Fisher WASHINGTON. July 24. In what are known us the Spokane-Reno- Pacillc cases, the Interstate Com merce Commlsison today ordered ma terial reduction in freight rates rrom the East to points between Denver und the Western terminals or the transcontinental railroads. For many years the rnllroadB have exacted rrom shippers to Intermediate points such us Spokane and Reno higher rates on Kastern freights than were charged ror the niucli longer hauls to Seattle. San Francisco and other Pacific Coast points. Comparison In Defense. The theory has been thnt the rail roads must meet water competition to the Pacllic Coast. The higher rales to intermediate points, arbi trarily llxed, have been defended by a comparison with the Coast rates, nliis a theoretical backhaul from the coast to the Inland stations along the lino. The Commission recognlr.es the right of a railroad lo meet water competition to Purlllc Coast points, but practically wipe out the back haul rates to inter-Rocky .Mountain territory. Fair Rale 1-ald Down. II lavs down what It considers would be fair and Just rales to vari ous freight lones in the West und gives the railroads until October 15 to adjust their InrliTB accordingly. The Commission holds In the so- called Reno case thnt truffle origin ating lit Chicago and In Chicago ter ritory moving under commodity rates tuny have a rate 7 per cent higher to nteriiiedlnte points than that imposed on freight originating in Chicago and Chicago territory lo the- Purillu Coast terminals. Points of Derision. Spokane and other Intermediate points fail in their contention for transcontinental rales equivalent 10 those In effect from HiiBtern points to Portland and Puget Sound. The Interstate Commerce Comiuls bIoii recognizes the inllueiice of water competition on rates from Lnstern noliits to the Coast except rrom ter ritory embraced la a zone west of a 1 lie 1500 miles east of I'ortiunu. Tho effect of tho ruling Is Indicated in the following examples: On freight originating In Missouri River terminals. Spokuiio Is entitled 11. t Iia Prittut tecmlllfil rnlo. On freight originating in Chicago, rates to Siiokaiio or other Informed. late points may not bo more than 7 per cent greater than the Goast rate From liuffulo and Pittsburg the In termediary rate may bo 15 per cent higher than the Coast rale. From Atlantic ternilnuls It mny exceed Const rates not more than 2: per cent. Rates previously llxed by the Com mission ure not ordered In and the railroads are left to work out their own schedules In accordance with the decision. The effect of the decision is to lower materially tho rates to Inter mediate points, but not to an extent that will actually diminish tho pres tige of Coast cities as distributive centers in territory now covered.
