10 TRB MORNING OREGONIAN. SATTUEDAY, AUGUST 16, 1902. TO TEST THE TAX Business Men-Will Fight City License Ordinance. ALL WILL LEAGUE TOGETHER Doctors, Lavrycxs, Merchant, All Object to Contributing: to Gity Revenue Cases Will Come .-' ' Up in Court "Monday. override the ordinance that forces them to pay a license for their 'business. The cases that are on trial for Monday -will probably be made test cases, and be hotly contested. FOR AN EAST SIDE MARKET JOSEPHT C. SKEMP COMES TO PORT LAND FR03( THE EAST. "Paid your license yet?" was the com mon greeting among the business and professional men of the city yesterday and as two men' of the same calling would meet they would stop and discuss the probability of their having to pay a li cense. The city authorities are making an efTort to enforce the city ordinance yo. 11,784, which provides for the licensing, taxing1 and regulating for the purpose of city revenue, businesses, callings, trades and employments. Those to whom this or dinance applies are clubbing together and declare that such a license Is unjust, and that they -will contest it. "We will each of us put up a certain amount and have the matter tested," they cay. "Such an ordinance will not stand." Some time ago notices were sent out to the professional and business men that if their licenses were not paid in a speclnea time that they would be .brought to trial. The first action in the matter, however, was taken yesterday, when four arrests -were made. Dr. K. C. Coffey was the only physician that was arrested. T..J. Concannon. a groceryman; Carl Borqulst and Alex Refiling, merchant tailors, were the business men arrested. Dr. Coffey held a receipt showing that the license had been paid for the firm of Geary. Coffey, Marsh & Numbers, and this will probably relieve him from fur ther trouble in the matter. All four cases were continued over until Monday. A large number of warrants have been sworn out, and they will be served as fast as those on hand are dis posed of. t "There Is no doubt , but that the ordi nance can be enforced," said Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald yesterday, "and all business men have to pay their licenses. Jf the ordinance Is void, none ought to pay. If it is not. none should escape. I have a list of those who have not paid and have made out warrants for the ar rest of a number. I have warrants for at least 12 of the prominent physicians and a number of the business men. It is our plan to serve them as fast as we can handle the cases In the Police Court. If they pay their licenses before the arrests are made, there wlll'be nothing more said about It. It is our desire to have them paid up, and not to prosecute any of the people. A large number have paid up to day, since they see that we are going to push the matter, and I think they will all nav without anv trouble." Professional men seen regarding the matter, however, insisted that there would bf trouble, and' that the validity of the ordinance would be tested. Several months ago the question came up before tne Port land Medical Sociery. and alter some ais cussion a vote was taken and It was de cided to stand together and refuse to pay th licenses to the city. "We are licensed by the state," said they, "and that license is all we need. Of the doctors seen yesterday, none de nied that this action had been taken, and most of them stated that they thought this stand was rlcht. "We have to pass a state examination," said one, and we have to pay a license to the state. This gives us the right to practice anywhere in the state, but here the city steps in with an ordinance pro viding that we will have to pay another license before we can practice in this particular part of the state. "We may have to pay the license," said another, "but the people will not make anything by forcing us to do so. We -will simply raise the prices enough to cover It" Dr. A. D. McKenzie. secretary of the medical society, refused, to make any statement as to the stand of the medical society in the matter. He did not deny that the society had taken the action to oppose it. but said '"'that was a long time ago. and tae members may "have changed their minds about it by now. Haven't, we paid our license once? Do they want us to pay two licenses? I think that the doc tors would all be willing to contribute to the public fund if they .thought it was necessary, but' they don't want it to be called a license." Circulars were circulated among the grocerymen yesterday and the most of those that were seen asserted their willing ness to contribute toward the expense of testing the case. "It is an unjust meas ure." said D. C. Burns, a Third-street groceryman, "and .we are all going to stand together and fight it. All of the business men, hardware dealers, the saw factories and the rest are going to take a similar action." A conference was held by the hardware dealers regarding the matter, but they would not announce what action they would take. "We are considering the matter, and will announce our action in a day or so," said Thomas D. Honeyman, who refused to be Interviewed further In the matter. Much fun Is being made out of the mat ter, and the rnen who are called to account are made the subject of a large number of jokes. Dr. Coffey is one of the proprietors of the North Pacific Sanitarium, and a re porter found two of the partners having what seemed to be a lot of fun. "What's the joke?" asked the reporter. "Coffey Is in jail," sajd they. "What's the offense?" was asked. "Oh. he was practicing without a li cense." said one. "Poor fellow; I hope they take him to the county jail instead of the Police Court." "Is the matter so serious that you can't 'ball him out?" asked the reporter, becom ing interested. But they did not heed the question. - "I would not care so much," said one, but you know the first thing that they wake a prisoner do Is to take a bath, and I am afraid that he won't be able to stand the shock." Just then the doctor under discussion came In. "Broke jail?" asked one. "What's, the fine?" said another. But the doctor did not seem to think it was such a Joke as it was cracked up to be. "No fine," said he. "I showed them this," drawing from his pocket tho license for the firm, "and they saw they had no case against me. When they got through 1 told them what I thought of the whole matter, and that I did not want to be bothered -with their foolishness any more." "To whom did you say this?" interrupt ed a listener. "To the court?" "No," was the answer. "I left before the court was called to order. "To the Judge?" "No; he was not there yet." "Oh, I see," said his partner, "he was telling his troubles to the janitor. Did you give the janitor a good roasting?" Among the business men there was the came spirit of joking, but beneath It all -was a determination to try if possible to IlaTTtbornea Offer Ground to Be Used tor Tlint Purpose. James Douglass, master of Pomona Grange, of Multnomah County, is very favorable impressed with the offer of the Hawthornes to permit the use of ground on the East Side for a farmers' market place and rest quarters. He said yester day, in speaking of the movement, which is being made to secure a farmers' mar ket place in Portland, that he had hopes that something definite would come out of the effort, for not only was one but two market places needed In Portland. He thinks that the single block on the West Side would not be sufficient for the purpose, and that there should be at least one block set aside for the same purpose on the East Side. The proposal to estab lish restrooms In connection with the market was new and not understood, but Mr. Douglass said that so far as it was understood It was generally favored. Farmers, he said, will be Inclined to do all they can to help along such an enter prise. At the coming meeting of Pomona Grange, which will be held at Pleasant J Home tne tmra oaturoay in aeptemoer. there will be a thorough discussion of the subject. By that time it is expected that the 1905 fair site will be settled, and some definite steps will then be taken on the market proposition. At present little Is being done. Vice-President of International Brotherhood of Painters Visits local Union. Joseph C. Skemp, third vice-president of the International Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers. arrived in this city yesterday afternoon on his way to San Francisco. Mr. Skemp has been attending the semi-annual meeting of the executive board and stated that the Brotherhood had never been In a more prosperous condition. "We have organ- WORK OF BIG STEAM SHOVEL. Making: Fill on the Route Throuffk Milmmkle With, Great Rapidity. The big steam shovel of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company is doing good work on the high banks south of Mllwaukle Heights. Few men are re quired to operate the machine, and it scrapes up a load of dirt and dumps It on a near-by flat car with no difficulty. The machine is run on wheels, and tracks are laid for it to move along when necessary. The ballasting of the tracks on the new line through Milwaukle Is about fin ished. The other parts of the road between Milwaukle and Oregon City will now be attended to. As the company owns all of Milwaukle Heights, no trouble will be met with for want of dirt. Before long the filling of the long tresUe from the Clackamas River to Oregon City wilL be commenced. South of the Waverly Golf Links, be tween Sellwood and Milwaukle, a force of men is at work, preparing to cut out the sharp ;curve and straighten the line. Al though no accidents have occurred here, yet the company regards the curve as un safe, and intends to do away with it. HOLD-UP OX MILWAUKEE ROAD. It. A'orton Reported He Was Stopped by Two TIiuri Xear Midvmr. It. Norton, living near Midway was held up by two men Wednesday night on the Mllwaukle road and robbed of money amounting to f3 50. He had missed the last car to Milwau kle and was walking home. A few blocks south of the Catholic Church he met two men, one of whom thrust a gun into his face and ordered him to hold up his hands. While he did so the other went through bis pockets and took what he could find. He was then released and or dered to go on, and warned not to look back. Norton proceeded up the road for sev eral blocks and then turned around, but the men had disappeared. He Is unable to describe the men clearly, as it was very dark Where the hold-up occurred. Free Methodist Campmeetlna. The Free Methodist campmeeting, un der the auspices of the Portland district. opened In the grove on the river bank at the foot of Umatilla avenue last night. It will continue until the evening of Au gust 24. There has been a good attend' ance, with the promise of great popu larlty. Rev. H. V.' Haslam, of Portland, has charge of the meeting. New Fire Hydrants. New fire hydrants are now being in stalled along the new water main on East Water street. These hydrants are much larger than the old ones and can supply enough water for the largest en glne in the city. The work Is being rushed and the East Side water front will soon have good fire protection. M'MILLAN'S FUNERAL. ONE MORE LABOR LEADER 10,000 union men are expected tq be In line. It will be divided Into six sections, and each-headed by a band. A prize of a hand some banner has been offered for the union that makes the best appearance In the parade, and a strong try will be made by the various organizations to capture this honor. Regular meetings are being held to drill the members in marching, and some of them are going to a large expense for uniforms and equipment. The athletic sports will be held at Mult nomah Field, and will commence at 1:30. Tho feature of the afternoon will be a baseball game between the Building Trades Council and the rest of the unions. Among the union mem arc a number of players on baseball teams as well as a large number of ex-professlonal players, and the game will be a fine exhibition of the sport. At the regular meeting last night the Federated Trades Council re ceived a challenge from the Building Trades Council to meet on Labor day in a ball game. It took but a few "moments PROMINENT LABOR LEADER HERE. Drawn from Ufa by Harry Murphy. - - . CARS BLOCK UP STREET HOW RAILROAD DELAYS TRAFFIC AT FOURTH AXD DAVIS. Street Committee Considers Variety of Complaints Oil Tanks Are Up Again'. JOSEPH C. SKEMP. Simple Services Over the Remains ' of the Late Senator. DETROIT. Mich.. Aug. 15. Extreme simplicity marked the funeral services this afternoon over Senator James Mc Millan. The Senator's late residence was crowded to Its capacity and many persons were unable to gain admission. Both branches of Congress, the State Leglsla ture and all departments of the state and city government were represented. Gov ernor "Bliss was present with several of his staff. The Senatorial delegation in eluded Senators Hanna, Ohio; Foraker, Ohio; Allison, Iowa; Lodge, Massachu etts; Burrows, Michigan; Fairbanks, In dlana, and CockrelL Missouri. Rev. Alfred H. Barr, for a long time the Senator's pastor here, officiated at the services. The interment was private. Followed only by his family and a very few intimate- friends, the body was taken to Elmwood Cemetery and placed In the McMillan mausoleum, which was- filled with flowers. As a mark of .respect, the car works here, which Senator McMillan developed, were closed today, and In many other plants in which he was interested work stopped at the hour of the funeral. On the lakes, every wheel Ibn the Detroit & Cleveland and Detroit & Buffalo steamers stopped for a while at 2:30. Sadden Increase in Insanity. NEW YORK. Aug i5. In the last three days 32 persons suffering from mental derangement were admitted to the Belle1 vue Hospital Insane Pavilion. The usual daily average is less than three. The physicians are unable to account for the Increase. Taey say tnat so rar tms sum mer there has been no weather hot enough to send the average above the normal point. They also are puzzled by the fact that 21 of the 22 patients are -women, ana tne lurtner iaci tnat iew of those admitted are alcoholic patients. On Tuesday the first signs of the m crease were manifest. Some of the. per sons received were taken irom ponce courts. A few were admitted of their own volition, and others were admitted on permits Issued by the Superintendent of the Outdoor Poor. It Is a remarkable fact that the majority of the patients are unusually violent, and tho attendants have had practically no rest for three nights. Coal Famine at Indlnnapolls. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 15. The price of anthracite coal has Jumped to $9 in TnrHnnnoolls. The price was fixed the first of this month lit 71 50 a ton by the Coal Exchange, and has been held at that flirure. but most of the dealers here have sold all their hard Coal and the supply Is In the bands of a few. it is estimated that there are not over 1000 tons of an thradte in the city for sal TIME CARD, STEAMER T.

Our membership has Increased in the same period 12,000, which gives us a present strength of over 40.000 in over 750 unions. The percentage of Increase has been larger than that of any other brotherhood and we have re ceived compliments upon our success from the Federated Trades. In the past year we have had 100 strikes and disputes for higher wages and shorter houra In 95 per cent of these we have won and a few are still unsettled." Mr. Skemp further told of a victory gained In New York City. "The local unions there are very independent. Their cry is 'New York for New Yorkers!' and we had to fight very vigorously to win control, but the union there Is now In line nrith the National Brotherhood. This we count a great success, for the other brotherhoods have found the same dlffl culty In controlling the New York unions. Besides, we have gained some strong local unions that were before outside. Among these is the union at Butte, Mont, where the wages are higher than at any other place In the country. Then we have now with us the union at "Washington, D. C, which was long under the Knights of Labor." "When asked about his views on the efficiency of Building Trades Councils Mr. Skemp said: "It is the most powerful In strument for good that we have. To break It up or try to disrupt it would be the height of folly. The Building Trades Council is a double advantage. It pro tects the Individual craft by the united strength of all allied crafts and It gives the contractor and tho public a guarantee for faithful performance. In San Fran cisco, where my home Is, the Council ab solutely controls the unions In the city and It does- It for the common good. You will find that under the Council the unions are more conservative. The union that has a grievance cannot strike without permission of the Council, and that per mission Is not extended except under stringent regulation. For Instance,' the demand must be made three months be fore action Is taken; that Is, three months' notice must be given the employers. All contracts made prior to the date of the demand are-to be finished at the old scale of wages and the Building Trades Coun cil will entertain but one demand at a time. In other words, one strike must be settled before another can be declared. The Councils all over, the country are do ing such a vast amount of good that the National Brotherhoods are more and more declining to enter Into local contro versies. It Is felt that the local Trades Council Is better acquainted with the con ditions, is more deeply concerned and Is better able to do the proper thing. I consider the Building Trades Council to bo at present the nearest solution of some of the problems that confront us and you will find our Brotherhood al ways in the front when It comes to maintaining them." Last night Mr. Skemp spoke to the local union in Its hall at Second and Morri son streets. He outlined the year's progress, encouraged the craftsmen and gave them a strong feeling that they were members of a great National body. This morning Mr Skemp leaves for California. As he laughingly said, he left a wife down there, and owing to the very stringent di vorce laws of California his return must be hurried. "If I were away much longer," he added, "I should fear for my reception. Anyway, seven weeks Is a long time to be away from one's family." TO CELEB RATE OX LABOR DAY. Bigr Demonstration Planned, "With a Parade, Athletics and Grand Rail. Plans for the celebration of Labor day have been announced by the committee, and a big demonstration has been ar ranged for. The morning will be given to the parade, the afternoon to the ath letic sports and entertainment, and the evening to the grand ball. The parade will start at 10:30, and about to accept the challenge, and the delegates announced as they did that they would go Into It to win. Beside tho baseball game there will be given a regular, series of field events In which only union men will contest. Sack races, potato races and various events will bo given between the other contests. The tug-of-war is between the Teamsters' Union and the Longshoremen's Union, and $100 a side has already been put up as prize money by the opposing nuions. A platform will be erected on the field and a series of attractions will be pre sented between the athletic contests. A first-class band has been employed for the afternoon, .and will fill up all gaps with music. In the evening will be the grand ball in the Exposition building. At the regular meeting of the Fcder ated Trades Council last night a commit tee was appointed to revise the by-laws. The members are: Goldralner, of the Barbers' Union; Liisberg. of the Ship wrights' Union; Cadwell. of the Carpen- tersf Union; Roberts, of the Teamsters Union, and Taylor, of the Walters' Alli ance. The boycott on the P. Johnson Milling Company was removed. For nearly two hours yesterday after noon three members of the Council com .mlttee on streets considered street nuis ances, street improvements and oil tanks as a menace to property Interests. The two first-named matters were disposed of temporarily, but the third was left for the Council to act upon. One of the nuisances complained of was the unloading of freight cars at Fourth and Davis streets. Some teamsters had asserted that cars had been left on the street half a day and had blocked other traffic A written opinion from Deputy City Attorney Kavanaugh stated that the railroad company had the right to unload freight and passengers on any street, but not in such a way as would obstruct other travel. In which event it became a nuis ance. The Council had the right to limit the power of the company. "The cars are a nuisance, said Jar. Zimmerman. "I have seen some standing in front of the Overland warehouse, at Fourth and Davis streets, half a day, and I think the company should have a certain hour for their unloading." "I suggest." said Mr. Rumelin. "that the auditor notify the warehouse company that If more than SO minutes are required to un load a car we shall place some restraint upon the corporation." Mr. Zimmerman Increased the limit to two hours, and as . so amended the sug gestion was adopted. "What we ought to have here, said Mr. Rumelin, when the question had been settled, "Is a belt line, by which all ware houses would be benefited. There Is a proposition which may soon be submitted to the Council which will meet with a xreat deal of opposition and a great deal of approval. This Is to construct a double- track freight railroad from the terminal grounds along the wharf line to South Portland, so that freight may be loaded or unloaded at the warehouses and carted directly to and from the steamboats and steamers. The only obstacle to the line Is tho Esmond Hotel, which stands directly In Its path. In all the other places there Is a 15-footspace for a railway." "The aoDroach of the Burnslde-street bridge is in. the way,' remarked ex-City Engineer Chase. "The elevation Is only six feet, said Mr. Rumelin. "and the grade would not be very steep. I do not know if the mat ter will ever be brought up, but there is some talk of It. It would be opposed, for the teamsters want the hauling. That pre sents a question to us. We cannot legis late against the Overland Warehouse Company, and we cannot legislate in its favor when the Interests of the commu nity are at stake. A Council once refused Henry Welnhard permission to build a spur to his own building." "Modern railroads are now building spurs in order to escape hauling charges," said Mr. Chase. "When a good street Is built It Is ruined by heavy traffic," observed Mr. Zlmmemr- man. "Wo havo emancipated the mule, and now it Is the horse's turn," said Sharkey. "By the way," he added, changing the subject, "I have received a letter from Joseph Supple about the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company's application for a franchise on East "Water street. He says that if the franchise Is granted he can rent his warehouse, which Is now unoccupied, for $100 a month, and he will be In a position to build another." He suggested that the application be taken up, but as two members were ab sent the matter was dropped. Mr. Chase, who represented the company, said the line would Intersect the Southern Pacific In Stephens' addition, that there would be a steam plant for the generation of electric Ity, and that the shops also might be lo cated there. OH Tanks 'Again. The oil-tank matter was next on the list. Mr. Rumelin said three enterprises were headed for Portland. The Associated and Union OH Companies wanted the same privileges as the Standard Oil Company. Portions of Albina were up In arms against the location of the Standard's tanks In that section. The Associated had secured an option on property on North Front street. Near by were 200 feet of water-front property owned by Ellis G. Hughes, and upon which an op tion had been given to a company which will engage in the manufacturing bus! ness. The - option expired the other day. but It was renewed and the company said it would not take the property If the city allowed the oil tanks to be placed oppo site it. The Eastern. "Western and Mar tin lumber mills and the Portland Linseed. Oil Company did not want the tanks lo cated near their places. The proper thing to do was to prohibit the building of any more tanks In the city. Good locations with rail communication could be secured outside of the c.y and north of the North Pacific mill, on the West Side, and north of Kllllngsworth avenue, on the East Side. A prohibitive ordinance would be drawn up, but would .not be presented until its passaxe was certain. In Mr. Rumelin opinion the company now in the city could not be driven out. "We must be careful." said Mr. ZIm merman, not to draw tne nnes too ciose. Crude petroleum means cheap fuel, and electric power is expensive. Mr. Sharkey said the crude petroleum would not prove dangerous, and Mr. walk was needed on the east side of the avenue the "entire distance, and on the west side a part of tho way. . A letter from W. R. Johnson, who op posed the improvement, was read by the Auditor. It stated that the petition had been signed by three, real estate com panies and S. H. Carter, and was yet to be signed by the Rev. Mr. Blckler, "par son of a Swede or Dutch church 6ut there." The district tvas sparsely settled, and there would "be no objection to one sidewalk. But he thought gravel would be more enduring, and he favored It because it would not "tempt the light-fingered among the Rev. Mr. Blckler"s flock, one of whom did some time ago carry off a number of sidewalk planks. Lead us not Into temptation, for he Is a good shep- OR CONTEMPT OF COURT HEXRY M.

A petition for a change of grade on streets passing through the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company's property In Stephens' addition was presented by W. B. Chase. The committee decided to take no action until it had an opportunity to look over the streets, and It will visit the place Tuesday morning. In answer to a question concerning the whereabouts of the child, he said the child was outside of the limits of the state. "Why did you not come into court and make a showing?" asked Judge Sears. "I had my reasons." answered the man. "You received the order of the court?" "Yes, sir." replied Haworth. "Was there anything to prevent you from obeying It?" "No. I was not here."
