POOLROOMS NOT ALLOWED

Be Renewed Later.
WHAT COUNCIL DID YESTERDAY.
Poolrooms Passed, amendment al
lowing selling of pools at Irving
ton track, but turned down motion
to repeal antl-poolroom ordinance.
Explosive toys Passed ordinance
prohibiting use and sale of all ex
plosive toys, except small flre
orackers. "Wooden theaters Passed ordinance
prohibiting any more wooden the
aters. Building ordinances Passed ordi
nances on building construction,
ventilation and plumbing, and ex
tended fire limits.
HUIsboro road Repealed franchise
of electric line to HUIsboro held
bv Oregon Traction Company.
By a vote of ten to one, the Council
yesterday passed an amendment to the
anti-poolroom ordinance providing for
the selling of pool tickets on races held
ithln the city, if such soiling was con
ducted within the grounds of the local
track.
By the same vote, the Council de
clined to repeal the original anti-poolroom
ordinance, Mayor Williams rul
ing the motion of Mr. Sharkey to this
effect out of order. As the matter
ht&nds, whoever holds the pool privi
lege at the Irvlngton track may sell
the only pool tickets in the city, as no
one operating outside the gates can
make books on the races.
Councilman Sharkey made a persist
ent efEort to have the pool-room ordi
nance repealed when the amendment
was read. Others in the Council wished
to vote for repeal, but found the ma
jority against them, and so fell into
line with an acquiescent "aye."
After Mayor Williams had declared
that to repeal an ordinance, a separate
ordinance, and not a motion, was nec
essary, Mr. Sharkey objected to the
third reading of the amendment ordi
nance. But Mr. Rumelin moved that
the order be suspended, and the third
reading proceed. There was nothing
left for Mr. Sharkey but to cast a soli
tary vote against the motion and then
against the passage of the amendment
ordinance.
The explosiva-toy ordinance, prohib
iting the use and sale of loaded canes,
bombs, toy pistols and almost every
thing in the explosive line except fire
crackers not over four inches in length,
was passed as recommended by the
committee on health a-nd police, with
out a word of discussion.
The long-delayed and very lengthy
building ordinance was passed without
a reading. A special committee has
been wording upon it for months.
Another ordinance regulating the
construction of theaters was presented
as drawn up by Chief Campbell and
Fire-Marshal Roberts. Mr. Roberts
was called upon to explain the mea
sure. "It is partly the San Francisco ordi
nance and partly that of Now York,"
said he. "It allows nothing but strict
ly fireproof theaters, prohibiting
wooden theaters," said he.
After several puestlons had been
raised, the ordinance was referred to
the health and police committee. It
will not be used against any of the
theaters now In use, but will prohibit
the construction of any more wooden
theaters.
The franchise of the Oregon Traction
Company for an electric line to HUIs
boro was repealed, as the time for
commencing the construction of the
road' has long since passed. Mr. Fle
Kol wanted it understood that whenever
positive assurance was given that the
road could be built with the funds on
hand, a new franchise should be
granted. A resolution to this effect
was afterwards Introduced by Mr.
Rumelin.
"I don't want to obligate myself In
any way. I want to consider tho new
franchise whon It comes up." said Mr.
Bentley.
At a special moating of the special
fire-limits committee yesterday it was
decided to extend the limits to Four
teenth street from Yamhill to Wash
ington street With this addition, tho
fire-limits ordinance which has been
pending for several months was passed.
An ordinance regulating the ventila
tion and plumbing of buildings and
providing for the registration of
plumbers was passed. The health and
police committee has been working for
some time upon this measure, which
largely incorporates other ordinances
now in effect.
A. time and manner ordinance for the
improvement of Yamhill street from
Fourth to Sixteenth was passed. By a
technicality, tho bitullthic pavement on
Yamhill street could not be laid until
the entire proceedings had been gone
through with a second time.
Mr. Rumelin presented a proposition
from William I. HIggins for a painting
of the first house ever built in Portland,
to cost $35. The dwelling, a log cabin,
was built on block 127, Caruthers ad
dition, in 1842, by William Johnson, and
was occupied by himself, his Indian
wife and their children. The painting
will probably bo ordorod and nunc in
the Council Chamber.
TWO ABE MISSING.
Police Are Searching for Mrs. Louis
Sunderland and William Roberts.
XiOuls Sunderland asked the assistance
of the police yesterday morning in locat
ing "his wife, Mrs. Mile Sunderland, whom
he hears has killed herself. Mrs. Sunder
land left their rooms In the Lockwood
rooming-house at Morrison and Park
streets. Tuesday evening, saying she was
going to a near-by bakery to buy some
coffee. Since then nothing has been seen
or heard of her by her husband. Inas
much as she had been suffering from
melancholia, her husband fears for her
safety, believing she may have drowned
herself or otherwise ended her life.
A somewhat similar case was reported
to the officers during the morning. Will
iam Roberts, of Rainier, came to Port
land .several days ago to close a deal for
the sale of his ranch in North Yakima.
He was due home again at once, but
nothing has since been heard of him, and
his friends and relatives are greatly wor
ried regarding his whereabouts. A de
scription of the man was taken by the
police and placed in the hands of detec
tives. Everybody going to the "World's Fair
should use the Denver & Rio Grande, the
"Scenic Line of the World," either going
or coming. See the Mormon Capitol, the

VOTE ON NEW PLAN TODAY
Heated Debate Over the Question of
Adopting Rates of Assessment
Proposed by Supreme Lodge
Stirs the Grand Lodge.
Yesterday's sessions of the Grand lodge
of the Ancient Order of United Work
men was devoted almost exclusively to
discussion of the so-called "new plan"
of assessment.
The morning session was called to order
at 9 o'clock by Supreme Master Narvls,
of Muscatine, la., who is attending the
present meeting. The report of the com
mittee on distribution was submitted and
referred to various subcommittees.
At 10 o'olock the Grand Lodge resolved
itself into a i committee of the whole for
the consideration of the new rates pro
posed. Grand Master eGorge H. Dur
ham, of Grant's Pass, presided over the
committee of the whole. The discussion
which ensued was a stormy one, the ad
vocates of the present or "classified plan"
and the partisans of the proposed "level
plan" each holding stubbornly to their
positions. The principal champion of the
new plan was Past Supreme Master J. G.
Tate, of Denver, who spoke on behalf of
the supreme lodge. At 11:30 the commit
tee arose and the Grand Lodge reconvened
long enough to accept the report of a
committee consisting of J. E. Werleln, of
Portlard; D. M. C. Gault, of HUIsboro,
and Frank Davey, of Salem, which sub
mitted a resolution of condolence on the
death of the late A. W. Witherell. the
is ell-known Portland Insurance man and
leading Workman. A committee of ten
was appointed to represent tho Grand
Lodge at Mr. Wltherell's funeral, and an
adjournment taken until 2 P. M.
When the session resumed,, the first
matter considered, was the amendment
of the constitution of the Oregon Juris
diction to conform with the constitution
of the supreme lodge. The amendment
was carried without opposition and pro
vides that:
"In no instance shall a divorced wife
of a member be designated as his
beneficiary, nor shall a divorced wife of
a member remain his beneficiary after
divorce.
"In caso a member and his wife who
is a beneficiary be divorced, then the
benefit shall be paid as provided, therein
in cases where the designated bene
ficiary Is dead."
This amendment is designed to dispose
of a troublesome question, which has been
the occasion of much costly litigation: to
the Jurisdiction. The remainder of the
afternoon was devoted to discussion of the
assessment plan and although the session
lasted until 6 o'clock no conclusion was
reached.
Each side claims to have a majority and
neither seems willing to yield, but It Is
believed that a vote will be reached this
morning.
The Grand Lodge had planned to elect
officers for the ensuing year yesterday af-
tPT-niMiTv Vinfr th pltlnn u'.io nnstnnncfl
until today, when it will occur as soon
as the assessment question Is disposed of.
Today's session will convene at 9 o'clock
and promises to be one of unusual in
terest. MADE GRAND CHIEF OF HONOR

At the earlier session Superior Master
THE POOLROOM QUESTION
Workman William Narvis, of Iowa, and
Past Superior Master Workman J. G
Tate, of Denver, were introduced to the
grand lodge. Mr. Narvls made a brief
speech, making various humorous re
marks, which Tere supplemented by
others, which were both earnest and in
structive. The order Is known to be one
of strong beneficiary interests, and the
lodgewomen were much touched, when,
during the speaker's appeal for the home
and little ones, a pretty 2-year-old baby,
Verta Grover, of Eagle Point, ran up to
the platform and was lifted up into Mr.
Narvls' arms.
Past Grand Chief Misner responded to
the superior workman's address and Mr.
Tate also spoke briefly.
The Installation of officers will be a
feature of the meeting today.

Correspondent Makes Suggestion to
A. O. U. W. Grand Lodge.
PORTLAND. July 19. (To the Editor.) Will
jou kindly allow me space in jour valuable
paper to pay a few words concerning- the
Grand Lodge of the A. O. U. W, now In ses
sion In this city?
I see there Is stronp pressure brought to bear
to Increaw the assessments of the old members
of tb order, Tvhlch I think Is wrong la an
Imposition.
The reaon given for such action la that the
amessmente are too low to maintain the order,
but the real truth la that there are a lew hlgh
oalarlcd officers whose expenses the members
haxe to pay.
To cite one Instance, the financial report for
June, published In tho Oregon Reporter, shows
that one of the traveling deputies received
$432 for the month; three of them. ?903.C5.

ceded $3X7 for one month's work, and the
following month $-15 additional for railroad
fare.
One lodge on Coos Bay Initiated 55 members
in pne month without a traveling deputy,
which goes to show that such enormous drains
on the treasury to pay theoe officers could be
dispensed with.
If we want to sae the order, we must cur
tall expenses, and the proper place to begin
would be In the Grand Lodge.
There are many young men working for, per
haps, $2 a day, who could efficiently do the
work of grand recorder at a less ealary than
Is at present paid.
If any subordinate lodge should need a dep
uty In order to Increase Its membership, cer
tainly It could select and pay one of its own
members to do th work, without having to
call on the grand lodge. P. O. WILSON.
Attorney Minus Fee.
George S. Shepherd, an attorney, wants
to know If a discharge In bankruptcy will
relieve Attlce W. West, a "clerk in th
employ of the O. R. & N. Co., from the
payment of $100 and costs In a divorce
suit In which his wife prevailed several
months ago Besides the costs and attor
ney's fees Mrs. West was allowed $1 per
month alimony by the court with the con
sent of the husband. When West filed his
petition in bankruptcy he notified Mr.
Shepherd as one of the creditors, but It
so happened that the Judgment for at
torney's foes is in the name of Mrs. West
and not Shepherd. It is contended by
the latter that West has not been dis
charged from the liability. He has is
sued an execution and caused the Sheriff
to garnishee West's wages.

A REMARKABLE TEST
APPLIED BY A TEACHER IN A
LEADING UNIVERSITY. '
Demonstrates the Power of Dr. Will
iams' Pink Pills to Restoro
Vigor to Shattered Nerve3.
Airs. Leander Lane, wife of the min
ister of the Christian Church, of No.
2010 I street. South Omaha, Neb., tells
how her daughter has been enabled to
resume her professional work as a
teacher after suffering for nearly three
years from severe nervous prostration:
"When she was passing from girlhood
to womanhood," says Mra. Lane, "she
suffered greatly from difficulties pe
culiar to her sex. The physician did
not help her, but a few boxes of Dr.
"Williams' Pink Pills brought about the
perfect regulation of her system.
"While she had escaped from one
grave trouble, she unfortunately began
to overwork, first as a student and then
as a teacher In a large Iowa Institution
for orphan boys. She enjoyed her work
and was very enthusiastic, but the
strain Anally told on her. She became
pale, weak, nervous, unable to sleep;
she had no appetite and she suffered
from severe headaches. Then came a
complete breakdown, and her work had
to be given up.
"In this emergency we again tried Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. Improvement
came at first slowly, and we sometimes
doubted whether she was gaining, but
we noticed that whenever she stopped
taking the pills she fell back, and
whenever she resumed the use of them
she revived, and so we kept up the
treatment until she recovered her usual
health and was able to take a position
In one of our universities, where she is
happily at work. My mother, my
daughter and myself have a well
founded confidence In the merits of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and are always
ready to recommend them."
This Is simply one more proof that
these pills seek disease at Its source
and effect fundamental cures. They
cure various diseases because these
have a common origin in impaired blood
or nerves. They put the entire system
In a healthy condition, because they in
troduce vigor that is distributed to
every part. They arrest physical decay
when It seems inevitable, and find a
road to restoration when the doctor
misses it. They are sold by all drug
gists throughout the world.
a boatride over the river on Saturday,
August 30. Tho ride will extend from
some distance above Portland, perhaps as
far as Oregon City, over as much of tho
waterway as can be covered in the time
at hand. It is hoped to be able to show
the visitors some of the Columbia River
as well as the Willamette.
On Saturday evening a reception will bo
tendered the visitors in the rooms of tho
Commercial Club, at which time an op
portunity will be given the business me
of the city to meet with the different
members of the commission and discuss
the Merchant Marine question informally.
The first session of the commission will
be held on Monday morning, August 1,
in the rooms of the Commercial Club, and
letters are being sent to all of the com
mercial bodies of the state asking for
clear and concise statements and statis
tics regarding the needs of the state and
the advantages to be derived from an in
creased Merchant Murine.
The Portland committee on arrange
ments is desirous that not only Portland
ers who have views one way or the other
on the subject, but those from other cities
and towns In the state will be present at
the meeting to be held August 1. The
Merchant Marine Commission will thus
have an opportunity to learn the opinion
of Oregon people regarding a subject thai
is now being freely discussed.
