SURPRISE SPRUNG ON COUNCIL Report of Theater-Inspection Commit--tee Adopted-Chief Hunt Wants the City to Pay Lewis Ver dict and Lawyer Fees. WHAT COUNCIL DID YESTERDAY. LIQUOR LICENSE Referred to com mittee ordinance to allow saloon to open All night on payment 'of ad diUonal $400. THEATER INSPECTION' Continued the' Inspection committee and adopted lto report. CHIEF HUNT AND SLOT MA CHINES No report -was presented from the committee appointed for In vestigation. Again has the liquor license committee of the Council to decide upon all-night sa loons in Portland. While the Council was in session yesterday afternoon an ordi nance was prepared by Mr. Merrill chang ing the existing saloon laws so that the doors may be kept open from 1 to 5 o'clock in the morning on condition of the payment of JS00 a year license fee, an addition of J400 to the present sum re quired to do business. The Council was taken by surprise when the proposed ordinance was read. With little discussion it was referred to the liquor license committee, which has al ready turned down one all-night proposal within the past month. The committee which has been In specting the theaters is to continue its work by Investigating the smaller houses of amusement and other places where any number of people may at any time be con gregated. "Its report as printed elsewhere was adopted. The committee of five Councllmen ap pointed at the last meeting to investigate the actions of Chief of Police Hunt In his alleged deal with the slot-machine pro prietors was not heard from. Silence reigns about the doings of this commit tee, so that it is now generally believed that nothing is to be done. Evidence, definite and positive, has been lacking, It seems. But Chief Hunt was heard from on an other subject. A verdict of $50 had been rendered against him in the damage suit brought by E. C. Lewis, the man arrest ed for and acquitted of the murder of Max Caiof. A petition was presented from Chief Hunt asking that he be reimbursed $323, the amount paid into the Circuit Court. From Mr. Merrill, however, came a reso lution that ' the Chief of Police 'be paid $250. This was read after the Chiefs pe tition was referred to the Judiciary com mlttee. Says Hunt Was Cleared. Mr. Zimmerman wanted the resolution tJassed at" onceT; "If -it is to be the policy to pay for all breaches of duty on the part of city officials, why should we not defend them from the beginning? Ifcen let the City Attorney defend them in court, so that we will not have to pay "attorney fees?" was Mr. Flegel's question. "Though I have no love for Chief Hunt, X can see that he was practically cleared by the verdict. As I understand it, the. Jury could not convitt the Chief by the evidence, so It gave the verdict that Lewis might have $10 to get back to The Dalles with while the two attorneys got $20 each," was the contribution of. Mr. Bentley. "There's no Justice in that," he added. Both the petition and the resolution went to the judiciary committee. Report of Theater Committee. . A rumor had been current that on or two of the Councllmen. would attempt to shut oft the work of Investigating the the aters and all other buildings which the fire inspection committee Intends to ex amine. But when the report was read nothing of this kind manifested itself. Mr. Rumolln moved that the report be adopted as read. Mr. Flegel wanted ordi nances passed which would force the the ater mon to iive up to the recommenda tions contained in the report, and that the committee be discharged. "All the theaters are willing to make the changes we have recommended," said Chairman Bentley, of the Inspection com mittee. "It is our intention to visit the theaters a second time and make a sup plementary report. If the recommenda lions are not complied with we have a plan for enforcing them." While this was going on John F. Cord ray, George L. Baker and W. T. Pangle sat together anxiously listening, to the dls cusslon. As the reading of the-report was concluded the theater men looked mightily relieved. X petition from a number of persons llv ing near the City Crematory, asking that the establishment be removed, was re ferred to the committee on health and police. The ways and means committee's report containing the yearly appropriations as revised by the committee of the whole on Monday was adopted?1 Onthe reapportionment of the East Oak street Improvement assessment, the ques tion fought out in the street committee Friday, Mr. Sharkey, Mr. Flegel and Mr. Foollor voted no. The expense of the ele vated roadways is therefore tobe appor tioned to the district, according to the now charter. To Make Trains Run Slowly. From the sawmills in the northern part of the city had come a ordlnanco by re quest asking that the speed of all trains be not over 12 miles an hour in the city limits. The street committee will pass upon it. Tho proposed franchise giving the City Messenger & Deliver- Company the right to erect poles and string wires in the city that a messenger call-box system might be maintained must be advertised for 60 days before further action. 'i no uregon Aater Power & Railway Company wants cowcatchers to "be placed upon its cars msieau or the fenders rec ommonded by the Council. The street com mlttee Is to try the cowcatchers. tThe proposed franchise of. the Portland Railway Company for Its extension to St. jonns was aiso reierred to the street committee. jar. .enuoy introduced a proposal for the City Engineer to prepare estimates for tne cost or improving about the car tracks on .tarst street, between Madison and Burnslde. reported to be In a bad con dition. vMayor Would Veto It. Mayor Williams has on numerous occa sions stated his objections to all-night sa loons. His veto Is looked upon almost as a certalntjvby some members of the Coun cil. Councilman Fred T. Merrill, who Intro duced the all-night ordinance yesterday, la naturally optimistic. "With an additional $400 a year for all night saloons, I am sure that at least 100 saloons will take out the sew license That -Kill mean $40,000 a year. Then I will suggest that half of that be used tor a new city JalL" 'The ordinance won't pass the commit tee," said Councilman Flegel, referring to the liquor license committee, of which he Is a member. Councilman Zimmerman has said a num ber of times that he would favor any pro posal that would charge the saloon men $1000 a year, in addition to the regular license, for the privilege of running their places all night. The liquor license committee was sup posed to meet Tuesday, and two members were present, but the others did not show up and the meeting was postponed. Ac cording to the schedule the next meeting will be held one week from next Monday. It Is probable, however, that a special meeting will be called before that date, as a fight Is threatened' on the all-night pro posal. CARELESS ABOUT PLUMBING. People Don't Take Proper Precaution Against Disease, Says Inspector. Seven miles of new sewers were .in stalled In the city during the past year, according to the report of Plumbing In spector Thomas E. Hulme, filed yester day. He speaks of the carelessness of builders and property-owners, as weli as of tenants. In regard to general sanita tion, saying: "There is a lamentable carelessness and lack of knowledge among people who allow tho plumbing fixtures and leaky sewers and connections to become un bearably foul and become a breeding place for all forms of disease germs. Properly arranged toilet rooms, with proper light and ventilation and proper and simple plumbing fixtures with proper concentra tion are no longer a luxury, but a positive and an urgent necessity." During the year S73 new buildings were equipped with plumbing systems , and 6SS alterations and additions made. The report Is summarized as follows: "New buildings inspected, 961; old buildings with new fixtures inspected, 737; cesspools connected, 448; sewers con nected, 947; written notices served. 496; special' permits issued, 6: total number licensed plumbers, 49; reports of defective plumbing. 220; plumbing remodeled on notice, 99; total number of visits for month. 5957; total number of fixtures connected, 8499. PRICE IS TOO LOW. Medicine Manufacturer Says Chlttam Bark Peerers Should Have More. An Eastern manufacturer of patent med icines, who has been lingering about Portland for some time, called at The Oregonlan office yesterday to learn more about chlttam-wood bark. He said he was pretty well Informed in regard to the good qualities of the bark, and had used considerable of It in his business, and would like to use more, for it possesses more good qualities than any other physic he knew of, but the European demand for it was so great that he found it difficult to Becure what he required of It, He Is here to look over the field and get an Idea of the amount of bark col lected In Oregon and whether the output can be Increased or not. - He says that It Is a shame that the bark should bring the gatherers only three or four cents a pound, which Is not only much less than It .ought to brine, but Is practically a starvation price as it ought to bring 25 cents at least. He Jiaa consulted with men who handle the bark here, and learns that they hae often tried to persuade the gatherers to reduce their output or hold It back, as they might just as well have double the present price; that Is, get Just as much for 100 pounds as they do for 200. But these gatherers are all poor people, who are in need of money, and want all they can get, and want It at once. They, there fore, strive to peel as much bark as possible each Spring, hoping that others may go slowly and raise the price of the bark and thus they may be bene fited. He finds that there is no danger of the tre becoming exterminated, If the peel ing of the bark is confined to the proper season. This Is In Spring; when the sap Is ascending, as if the limbs are lopped then new shoots will push out and the tree be renewed. But many in their haste to secure as much bark for sale as possible continue lopping and peeling later n the season and so kill some of the trees. It would seem that the peelers of this bark and the men who handle it might come together and arrange for some con certed action which would benefit them all. There Is no need to fear any falling off In the demand, for it Is really a valua ble medicine, the good qualities of which are widely understood and appreciated. It. Is particularly desirable that the price should be raised to a rair ngure, as tne poor people who gather It deserve to be proper ly paid. DIES ON HIS WAY HOME. Pathetic End of Charles Fellows, of Portland, in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20. Charles Fellows, a young man whose home Is at 211 Harrison street. Portland.

Edward G. Goble, the burglar and sneak thief arrested by Detectives Kerrigan and Snow after he had robbed a dozen residences, was arraigned be fore Judge Hogue yesterday afternoon. He entered a plea of not guilty, and waived preliminary examination. Being- unable to furnish $2500 bail, he was sent to a cell in the county jail, to await his appearance before the grand Jury. Goble takes his predicament philo sophically and laughed and joked with the- officers when they were escorting him to his cell after the proceedings. No chances wore taken of allowing him to escape, his wrists beinp hand cuffed, as he admits he is in hard straits, and the police are confident he would not overlook an opportunity to escape. G. IL Mumm & Co. Again Head the List of Champagne Importations. Custom House statistics just Issued-show that 12L52S cases of G. H. Mumm's cham pagne were Imported during the year 1903. This represents about one-third of all tho champagne brought into the United States; and Is greater by nearly 20,000 cases (one quarter ot a million bottles) than the im portations of any other brand. CAMP AT' BIG FAIR Great Time Ahead of Hill Military Boys. OVER HALF LIKELY TO GO St. Louis Fair Commission Invites All Military. Schools to Camp at the Grounds-Home Life at the Acaciemy." All military schools throughout 'the country have been specially invited, through the secretary of the committee on ceremony, to attend the Louisiana HUX MTUTAItY CADETS WHO WILL COMPETED DRILLS AT Purchase Exposition In uniformed bodies and there is a strong probability that the invitation will be accepted by the Hill Military Academy of this city. The letters -of invitation which Dr. Hill has received from this committee offec. every inducement, and he has fully decided to take his boys In case the railroads will make reasonable rates. At the gen eral meeting of passengers agents which will occur the later part of this month the matter will be taken up through Mr. A. L, Craig, of the O. R. & N., and , Dr. Hill will at once be notified. One hundred and seventy acres of land Is to be reserved for visiting cadets near I the Exposition grounds in St Louis, and thoroughly equipped barracks furnished for their accommodation. The committee writes that purest water, bathing fa cilities and perfect sanitary conditions have been obtained, and It also sets forth the educational feature of the proposed visit West Point has accepted and its cadets will so into camp at St Louts about June J. Many other 'J prominent military Institutions have also accepted, and It is probable that there will be a mighty body of America's future soldiers encamped near picturesque-Forest Pane Dr. Hill Is Btrongly in favor of the trip in "case the railroads decide to put rates where the -boys can all reach them, and thinks that 1t will baswbrth a year's schooling to them in an educational way. The boys themselves are most enthus iastic over the proposition and are al ready writing home about it There are now 125 pupils at .the Academy, but all of these will not be able to go if the scheme is carried out Match for Any School 'If I can take even 60 boys, I will feel that the trip will pay, but I am confident that more than this number will be able to go," Dr. Hill said yes terday, when discussing the subject "1 would like to take those little chaps If I could. Of course, I know there are some fine schools in the East that have unlimited means behind them and spend much on drilling their pupils, but I have company of boys here these younger ones that I .will match with any com pany of the same age In the country. The members of Company C are all very young: tne captain is only 13. But they are finely disciplined and can drill with the best trained boys In the country, and I would like a chance to have them compete with a like companyyfrom an other school." The members of Company C were hav ing great sport in one of the drill halls while the Doctor was talking of them, and many of them looked as If they ought to be at home with their mothers, but they are all sturdy little fellows and are said to be worthy of their fine reputation.-. One chap who has lately en tered the Academy and he could not have been more than 8 or 9 years old proudly exhibited his new uniform to the reporter. "Don't it fit nice?" he bashfully asked, as he snuggled up close to Dr,. Hill and peeped out from under his arm.

This question has been agitating .weekly" contemporary, and the answer Is twofold; The Englishmen's Interests In life, are of too diversified a character, and he does not possess an Oriental imagination. Be that as it may, It is none the less true that the number of chess clubs., and chess resorts, and the number of chessplayers In London are greater than In any other city in the world. As to the "Oriental Im agination," It does not go for much nowadays. Gambit openings, like frontal attacks in war, are a. thing of the past. The strong chessplayer must have a mathematical mind, and there Is no rea son, to suppose that Englishmen are de ficient hi this respect The real reason why such Illustrious English chessplayers as Howard Staun ton, Shakespearean scholar; Buckle, phil osopher of civilization; Boden, the artist, and others have no successors Is to be found In the fact that the present genera tion of players unlike the lovers of chess of former times, never have an oppor tunity of playing with the strongest play ers, most of whom are professionals who dvote their lives to the game. A national masters' tuornament has not been held in England for years a meeting such as that just concluded at Kleff, where Tschlgorin has come out first after a hard struggle, with the new master Bern stein. England, by the by, is the only country In the world where a distinction fatal to -chess Is drawn between amateur and professional. If a national organiza tion were founded which would make it its business to bring our beat amateurs and professionals together and arrange annual national tournaments; there Is little doubt that great chessplayers of English nationality , would spring up again, as In. the good days of old. Boxmakers Will Advance Wages. CHICAGO. Jan. 20.

Mrs. Holman's brother, Mr. Arthur Crel Iin, of San Francisco, Is giving the boy this trip, and' is playing the part of a veritable fairy godfather. Mr. Crellln's health Is poor, and his - physicians have told him that travel would benefit Mm. so be decided io make this long Journey. Not wishing "to go alone, he ex tended an invitation to bis favorite nephew to accompany him, which was eagerly accepted. And so this boy, who is now the most-envied pupil in the Hill Military Academy, will leave study and dull care, be hind, and for nearly a year .will travel In luxury with his rich uncle and zee the sights which he has heretofore only read about la his booSca. Mr. and Mrs. Holman are loth to give the boy up for so long & time, but yet they feel that it will METHODISTS-AI BANQUET MEN'S SOCIAL UNION ENTER TAINS MINISTERS. Bishop Earl Cranston Is Guest of Honor -Prominent Members Speak of Methodism. The banquet given last night in Cen tenary Church, East Side, to Bishop Earl Cranston and the pastors of the Method ist Churches of Portland and suburbs by the Men's Methodist Social Union was a most gratifying success to the officers and members, and one ot the results was the unifying of the Interests ot the J" new members to the union. Between 6 gIven ln Ior atfL audltlum, d"ur. r .i. ...Mr V. ins waicu ine reccpuon committee sam- uel Connell. Samuel E. Brune. J. E. Haseltlne, E. S, Miller. J. P.

A. Booth and the ministers, followed by the guests of the evening, marched Into the Sunday school room, where the tables had been spread by the Ladles' Society of Centen ary Church. Here nearly 200 spent three .hours most enjoyably partaking of the banquet and listening I to addresses. Hon. J.. H. Lee was -first introduced and gave an eloquent review of the work of the bishops of the "Methodist churches, and closed by saying that they had all been men of high character and ability, and declared that Bishop Cranston had contributed to- the prosperity of the church In the Northwest. Hon. W. D. Fenton spoke on the topic "Our Pastors." He expressed surprise that the men who had sacrificed so much were -willing to cpntlnue In that work on so small rewards. He defined the suc cessful pastor as a diplomat a statesman, a soldier and a saint He said that he believed In a virile -ministry, men. who were full of vigor, mentally and physical ly, ana Drave enougn to face and over corne difficulties, and. If need be, meet defeat manfully. He did not believe in a weakling, but he considered that a min ister should be a man of force and dig nity. "Turn your faces forward, and not backward," were the closing words of the. eloquent address of Bishop Cranston, as he .talked of "The Local Needs of Meth odism.' He said that great thlnes had been accomplished within the past seven years, since he first came. He incidental ly mentioned the losses that the Method ist Church of Portland sustained during tne depression, out tney were gone for ever, and the future was before the church. He commended the organization of the Extension and Evangelical Society and the Men's Methodist Union, and said they would help solve the problem before the Methodist churcues of Portland. In cidentally he spoko of the Japanese and Chinese churches, and said they needed encouragement In conclusion, he said that the Methodist pulpits of Portland were never better filled than at present and he looked forward to steady growth of the church In Portland and the sur roundings. He also mentioned Irvlngton and other places where churches should be planted in. the near future. "The Flock" was the topic of the talk by Rev. H. J. Talbott which was fol lowed by Hon. R. A. Booth, of Eugene. who .had. come to Portland to attend the banquet Mr. Booth talked forcibly, clos ing with an earnest appeal tor the Pacific Christian Advocate and the Willamette University. Dr. J. EL Coleman, president of the Wil lamette University, was the last speaker, and he spoke with greatest earnestness in behalf of that pioneer institution, and closed by saying that it stood for Chris tian education, and that the Methodist Church of the Northwest could not live without It SOCIALISE IN MASSACHUSETTS Small Vote Indicates the" Party Is Disintegrating. Chicago Tribune. The slump In the Socialist vote at the recent election in Massachusetts has dis heartened the leaders of that party, who had expected a material Increase over the vote of last year, where the same candi date, John C Chase, of Haverhill, ran for Governor. Last year he received 33,629 votes; this year 25,222 a loss ot 8407. Last year the Socialists elected three members ot the Legislature; this year only one. The principal slump was In the cities audit was the most disastrous In the cities where last year the Socialist vote was the largest. Nearly 5000 votes were lost in Boston alone- In his own home, Haver hill, which has been one ot the Socialist centers. Chase s vote was reduced nearly one-half. The Socialists had companions in misfortune, for the Socialist labor vote fell off 30 per cent The Prohibitionists fared a little better. Their vote fell off 3 per cent various reasons are assigned for the loss of votes. It is pointed out that the conditions last year, when the' vote was so heavy, were abnormal. It was the year of the coal famine, and the remedy of Government ownership and control of iuel was attractive to many. The remedy was given a boom -by David B. Hill s plans in the Democratic state platform of New York, and, by the proposition of Repre sentative Jenkins, ot Wisconsin, for Gov ernment ownership and management of these properties. "With the abatement of the coal famine, however, the Idea ot Gov ernment ownership has disappeared, and many of those who were carried away with it last year have quietly drifted baak to the old parties, probably much to the satisfaction of the leaders of those par ties, since It is now apparent the Social lsts can no longer claim to hold a balance of power- It Is more likely that the Socialist party Is disintegrating from natural causes. The Socialists, as a whole, are far from being bad or dangerous lot There are good men, honest men, ana 'thinking men among them, and this class probably has begun to see that the adoption of the So cialist system as a system of government Is impossible in this country that it is conspicuously unpopular with American people as a whole, and with the great majority of ' the working classes also. Probably there are Socialists who always will be Socialists, Just as there are Pro hibitionists who always will be Prohibi tionists, In spite of defeat after defeat They are visionaries, sometimes fanatics, to whom defeat means nothing. The extraordinary falling off in the Socialist vote in Massachusetts and the overwhelm ing defeat in "Ohio of Tom Johnsonism, which is only another name for Socialism, show that the cause is hopeless. It is hopeless because It Is un-American. "You All" and "We All." New Orleans Times-Democrat. For some time there has been running In a New York paper an amusing discus sion of the expressions ."you ail and we all," and In not a few Instances efforts have been made to shoulder these oddities off on the South. The expressions are fre quently used In the South, and often by persons of high culture. It is not at all uncommon to hear an educated man ask "How are you all?" by which he means to inquire about all the. members ot particular family. So educated men and women frequently say "We all get along nicely here," by which they mean that "all members of the family," and so on. It la a more direct way of saying the thing. It conveys the Idea clearly enough, and is not open to any objection on the ground of "vagueness and uncertainty.' Of course, these expressions are used only in talking. Persons -who constantly say "you all" and "we all" would never think of writing it In this way. "You all and "we all" are spoken and not written. SILVER x - - just as a great many persons who axe capable of writing, and do write., the moat exquisite' English, butcher all 'the .rules of. grammar and euphony In conversation. But It is doubtful if "we all" and "you all' can be charged up to the South exclusively. They are rather American "provincialisms, and ara to be classed with certain depart ures of speech noted by the late Herbert Spencer, departures looked upon as shock ing and barbarous by the Englishman. But why should breath and time be wast ed In saying" things In a roundabout fash Ion? Why ask "How are the members of your family?' when "How are you all?" will answer the same purpose? Suppose one Is asked his present place of residence, shall he wade through the painful detail of the law. and- reply that he HvC3 oa a certain lot "situated, lying and belns" in a certain county and certain state, and in the United States ot America, and givo the metes and bounds and the meander lngs of lines, xand certain biased black jacks, which have marked Us proper boundaries from the time of thq' first In habitant? Not much. Time is too pre cious. The quick answer, no less than the quick action. Is one o the Impressive Idlo- syn crudes of the age. "We all" and "you all" may not conform to the rules of grammar, but It "says what It means" and "means what it says." Still It Is not peculiar to the South." It would , be as unjust to the South to say that all the people use the expressions 'we uns" and "you uns," expressions peculiar to Arkan sas, or certain parts of the state, but by no means general. SOffGS EOR SALE. 1 uthor Shows How Easy They Ara to Write. Louisville Herald. Sheppard Camp, the Southern son? writer, who is at one of the-hotels, says that It is no trouble at all to write popu lar songs if pne gets into the swing. In one year Mr. Camp has written 12 songs that are now being sung on the stage. None of the songs has set the musical world afire, but they are all substantial jingling pieces of music which go well with, the "average theater crowd. "I write a song just as a shoe sales man sells a shoe or a singer warbles. It Just comes natural. I was always musi cal, and I have all sorts of fantastic Ideals In music. A. few years ago songs were written about sentimental themes, such as home and mother and tho dear old soldier boy. Now anything with a girl's name attached to It goes. "Suggest a name to me, and I'll jot you down the words In a minute or tw.o and show you' how easy it-. Isj"1 "Make a song about Susie," suggested a reporter. Mr. Camp screwed up bis brow for & minute and then dashed oft -the -following without effort: Susie. O, O, O, Susie. When you're away I'm awfully woosy; My court I'll pay. And if you say "nay," 'Twill make me boozy, Susie, boozy. "You see," said Mr. Camp, "the jingling effect has to be there, and you must give the impression that- men are madly in love with the girl that you are singing; about You must Jolly her up in the song and pay her lots of attention. Nothing but a popular .girl will do. The namo picked out must be rhythmical. Of course,, the lines will not bear too close inspection, and the language Is not the most eloquent but when the word3 are accompanied by1 a dashing air the effect is good." "Make up one about Irene," said the re porter to Mr. Camp. "Irene? ' Well, how Is this? My heart is beating for you, dear Irene, You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen; No girl is half so nice, but you're as cold as ice. j O, be my little sweetheart, dear Irene. "That will be about enough. Mr. Camp." Horn Young May Stay. Horn Young, a Celestial who has been In this 'country eight years, but who could not produce a certificate was taken into the Federal Court yesterday to show cause why he should not be de ported. In a hearing before Commission er McKee he was ordered deported. Judge Bellinger, however, decided that if he had been here eight years be was en titled to remain, regardless of the cer tificate, and was accordingly released.
