The Meier & Frank Store 1C Councilman Foeller Defeated Ail-Night SaioonOrdinance, PASSAGE SEEMED CERTAIN Promoters Confident of Success Until Foeiler's Vote Was Recorded as Unfavorable Another At tempt May Be Made. Tlie defeat of John P. Sharkey's all night saloon ordinance at the Council meeting Wednesday, while gratifying to the reformers greatly chagrined Its pro moters. Louis Zimmerman declared him elf after adjournment to the effect that it he had anticipated Mat Foeiler's nega tive vote the" ordinance would not have been mentioned. Reports would Indicate that the ordi nance was Introduced toy Councilman Mer rill. This is not so. "While the general text of the new ordinance Is materially the same as Merrill's, the fee charged for an all-night liquor license Is con siderably increased and numerous re strictive provisions are in the new docu ment, in fact to such an extent as to mislead Mr. Merrill. "I never saw that ordinance before," he vouchsafed, and then he continued sar castically, "From the number of restric tions in it I thought Flegel drew it up. Some lawyer must have had a hand in it." "Who Introduced It?" came the question from all over the room. "Mr. Sharkey," responded the clerk, and John P. Sharkey smiled over the sur prised looks that surmounted the coun tenances of his fellows. Piecemeal the ordinance was discussed. Mr. Flegel did not consider that the jnprc reading of the ordinance was suffi cient. Recalling the fact that at the last Liquor License Committee meeting he had forced Mr. Zimmerman into the minority. Councilman -Flegel showed his teeth and suggested that the ordinance 1m? referred to that honorable body. This, however, met only with Mr. Al toee's approval. The arguments waxed warmer and warmer and finally Mr. Sharkey, ay mediator, proposed that the Council rrsolvo Itself into a committee of the whole and consider the ordinance. While the discussion ensued. Mat Foeller, in an exceedingly brief and confidential interview, stated that he was going- to vot for the ordinance because the city needed tho money to build a new garbage crematorr. "I wouldn't do it a month ago," he finished. Revenue seemed to be the prin cipal Inducement for bringing the ordi nance before the meeting. The city needed the money, averred all, with the exception of Messrs. Albee and Flegel. Thcso felt that such dollars, although for the con struction of a garbage crematory t would be slightly soiled. The committee reported favorably and tli Council convened. And then' came Mat Foeiler's surpripo, lie did not vote for the ordinance. Messrs. Shaikey, Sherett and Zimmerman looked quite angry. Thoy put their heads to gether and Mr Sharkey expostulated: "If your Honor please, I would like to be recorded in the negative with refer ence to the ordinance appropriating ?SO0 to send the Council to Los Angeles." "Do I understand that you wish to change your vote?" questioned Mayor "Williams. "I do," responded Mr. Sharkey de cidedly. "I'll show 'cm what we can do." mut tprod Louis Zimmerman, and then to Mayor Williams: "I want to change my vote, too." Re porting to their old mrthod of retaliation thf all-night liquor license advocates suc ceeded in defeating the Junket a second time. Mr. Zimmerman's change of mind capped the climax and sent tho gallery into uproarous laughter. Albee and Flegel howled with delight. The Mayor smiled and for several minutes consterna tion reigned. And the irrepressible Mer rill shied this parting shot at the re formists: "Never mind, Flegel. Jack Matthews will fix it up with tho Southern Pacific and you can go to Los Angeles allright." Whether or not there will bo another attempt to make- the reformers swallow an all-night ordinance la not divulged. From Mr. Zimmerman's statement It looks as If none will bo made until the new councilman is elected. AFTER EVIDENCE OF FRAUDS Govepnment Officials Preparing for Coming Session of Court. Tho absence of their chiefs has in no wise caused a cessation in the work of the Government officials connected with the land-fraud cases, and continued en ergy Is being shown along tho lines of investigation and the collection of evi dence. That the Government does not mean to relax In tills work is evidenced by the authoritative, statement that within a short time the force of special agents of the General Land Office in Oregon will in all probability bo increased. This announcement can only be taken to mean that the Government realizes that it still has a great deal of work to do in con nection with the frauds and that It in tends to probo them to the very bottom. The' principal work of the officials hero at present consists of "tho collection of evidence for the coming trials. Colonel A. R. Greene left for Albany yesterday for the purpose of making investigations thero and collecting testimony. There is a constant coming and going of officials and witnesses. Register J. T. Bridges, of the Roseburg Land Office, who was here under a subpena as a wit ness before, the grand jury, returned to Roscburg yesterday, and his place la Portland has been takon by Receiver J. If. Booth, of the Roseburg Land Office, but also under suspension. His presence here is due to his supposed connection with the land frauds. During the suspension of these two officials, the Roseburg Land Office Is in charge of Special Agent Henry F. Higby. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. Thomas w.
