1 THE liOKNiNtt OREtfONIAN, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1905. WOULD LEGALIZE GHTER HOUSE "Scheme to Pass Measure to That Effect Now in the Council. TENOR' OF THE ORDINANCE It Would Bender Void the Efforts Kbw Being 3Iade to Remove a Nuisance of "Wliich Ful- rf ton People Complain. Under the guise of an ordinance regu lating the slaughtering of animals and the inspection of meats, the Health and Police Committee of the City Council, as represented by Councllmen Zimmerman and Sharkey, yesterday morning adopted a resolution recommending the passage of a measure which many residents of South Portland declare is merely a crude attempt to legalize the operations of the notorious slaughter-house of the Pacific States Packing Company. The matter will come up before the General Council next Wednesday afternoon. The proposed ordinance is alleged to have been drafted by the Board of Health, and when the question of its adoption came before the committee, several mem bers of the board were on hand to add weight to the Idea of its passage by the .moral effect of their presence. At least. It had that appearance, as none of them seemed to realize the exact situation. Section 3 of the proposed ordinance sets forth that from and after its passage, "it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to slaughter, sell or offer to sell the meat of any animal not con Hldered game, Intended for human food. within the City of Portland, unless tho4, same nas Deen inspected and approved by the officers appointed and empowered by the City Board of Health, or unless such meat bears the mark, stamp or tag in dicative of Inspection by the Bureau of Animal Industry. United States Depart ment of Agriculture; provided, however, that this section shall not be construed to prohibit producers residing beyond the limits herein provided from killing ani mals and selling the same within the city, but no such animals or parts of animals shall be sold until the same shall have been inspected by the inspector in such places as may be designated by the City Board of Health." Some of the Provisions. Section 4 refers to the official tags that must be placed upon each carcass, and section 5 provides a penalty for removing or destroying the same. It is in section 6, however, where the Ballent feature is found. It provides as fellows: "That the Pacific States Packing Company be known as 'The Portland ADatflr, where animals may be taken for slaughter and be Inspected, and that not more than the following prices may be charged and collected by the person or corporation who now are or may here after be operating the Portland abattoir, or such other place or places as may be affixed by the Board of Health for slaugh tering animals intended for human food within the City of Portland, to-wlt: Cat tle, 50 cents; veal calves with skin on, 15 cents; with skin off, 25 cents; hogs, sheep and goats, 15 cents; for cold-storage of same: Cattle, 50 cents; veal calves, hogs, sheep and goats, 15 cents, respectively. All animals at the above abattoir will bo inspected by the Government meat in spector stationed there." The ground upon which the Pacific States Packing Company Is situated be longs to Councilman Zimmerman, and he leases the property to the corporation for k valuable consideration. About three weeks ago separate actions were brought against the company for maintaining a slaughter-house within the city limits con trary to law. and also for maintaining a nuisance, and these cases are still pending In the local Police Court. These suits are the natural sequence of Innumerable pro tests from residents of the vicinity of Fulton, near where the packing plant Is situated, requesting the municipal author ities to abate the nuisance involved In its continued operation. Theory of the Defense. The theory of the defense is that the operations of the concern Is protected by ordinance No. 9611. adopted February 12, 1S9G, and it is alleged that Councilman Zimmerman claims that this ordinance is in the nature of a franchise, granting him a right to maintain the establish ment, and that it cannot be taken from him without compensation of some sort. As a matter of fact, the ordinance was repealed December 2, 1S97, by the adoption of ordinance No. 10560, according to As sistant City Attorney Fitzgerald, who is prosecuting the cases against the pack ing company. Fitzgerald was shown the proposed ordinance yesterday afternoon and stated that it was the first he knew anything about it. After reading it care fully, he said there was no doubt it was Intended to legalhte the operations of the packing company, so far as possible, and this opinion was concurred in later by Attorney illlton W. Smith, who Is also Interested in the efforts to restrain the packing company from committing any further nuisance. Fitzgerald did not deny that the Council hay the power to pass an ordinance regu lating the slaughter of animals within Its corporate limits, but stated that in the event any concern was carrying on operations thereunder to the detriment of public health. It became amenable to the state laws, and could be prosecuted for 'maintaining a nuisance, no matter how much protection might be afforded by any. city ordinance. la addition, he felt certain the Board of Health could abate any such nuisance under section 44, of or dinance No. 13.SS5. Section 7 of the proposed ordinance pro vides that all animals intended for human food la this city shall undergo an ante mortem examination before being allowed -to pasa to the slaughtering-room, and a post-mortem examination on the floor of the slaughtering-room. Provision is made also for the disposition of carcasses found to he diseased. Section S sets aside a certain time for slaughtering and Inspec tion, and section 9 makes provision for the appointment of a. meat and livestock Inspector at a salary of $125 a month; an assistant at $100 a, month, horse and buggy for the official use of the inspec tor and his assistant at a cost not to exceed $40 a month, and incidentals amounting to not more than $100 ao'ear. Section 10 makes it necessary for the Inspector to be a qualified veterinarian; section 11 proiides for the manner In which his reports shall be made to the City Board of Health, and section 12 clothes -the inspector and his assistant with power to make arrests. The remain ing four sections of the ordinance are unimportant as affecting the questions at Issue. ' Makes It- Clearlng-lTousc. It was intimated by a member of the City 'Board -of Health, whose attention was called to the fact that Councilman Zimmerman was nominally the ruling t-ulrlt in the Pacific States Packing Cota- pany. and that to sake the concern a clearing-house or ail the, seats entering the city would have the effect or clothing Its methods -with the garb of legality, that In every other respect the law was a good one. and that the name of the Pa cific States Packing Company was In serted as abattoir merely as a sop for the Councilman from the Sixth "Ward, as otherwise he -would oppose the measure In committee and Insure its certain de struction. It was explained that when the matter comes before tb,e general Council next Wednesday It could be so amended as to provide for the selection of a -slaughtering place In accordance with the discretion of the Board of Health, but It seems more than likely that the astute Councilman has a shade the best of the proposition. Miltoti W. Smltti was outspoken In his denunciation of the measure, and says thare is no doubt an unfair advantage Is sought to he taken to legalize the oper ations of the packing concern. It Is said that Dr. William Jones, of the City Board of Health, was opposed to the provision in the proposed ordinance making the In stitution the abattoir of all the meats oomlng into Portland, but if so he was toot on hand to protest when the subject came up In committee yesterday. City Offenders Before Municipal Judge Hogue. U. O. Hickel did not know until he was arraigned before Municipal Judge Hogue yesterday morning that only a se lect few might smoke inside the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds. It was fully explained to him at that time, that no matted how many others were puf fing clouds of dense smoke from pipes, cigars or cigarettes, that he must, if "so ordered, throw away his pipe or cigar and cease to smoke. After this explanation had been made to Hickel, he was allowed to go without a fine, as it was stated that his children would be deprived of things they might need were he made to pay out money. Hickel was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Word and Detective Donahue, who yes terday swore he was drunk, and that he resisted them. Hickel declared he was not drunk, and said the reason he re sisted was that he saw many others smoking there, and saw no reason why he should not. Don't take a woman as a business partner," Is the advice of P. C. Mattox. who was fined $10 yesterday by Judge Hogue for using abusive language toward Mrs. Lena Potter. Mattox and Mrs. Potter were interested In the Forestry Inn. a rooming-house at Twenty-fifth and Upshur streets. As matters progressed, the partners fell out. They quarreled. It was admitted by them during the hearing yesterday, and finally ended with a red-hot war of words that led to the arrest of Mattox. He used very ungentlemanly language toward her, Mrs Potter testified. Mattox could not recall just what he said, but hardly thought he used any Insulting phrases. Henry and John Berlind and E. Grlnas will leave Portland tomorrow night for new fields of operation. After being be fore Judge Hogue several times, and be ing found guilty of vagrancy, selling Jewelry without a license and causing Acting Detective Kay trouble, they had the choice of being heavily fined and sen tenced to jail terms or leaving the city.

This morning he wanted me to pay blm $10 more, and now he has quit me. I have his receipt" Judge Frazer ordered the case con tinued until 2 o'clock, at which hour Mr. Joy and his fair client were on hand. Mr. Joy explained that the misunderstanding was due to the fact that costs were due to the court amounting to about $10. which she was required to pay. The costs were paid, the trial was proceeded with, and the divorce was granted. The litigants were married in Portland, July 6, 1903. Mrs. Estes testified that her husband falsely accused her of unfaithful ness and threatened to do her great bodily harm, and also that he gambled his means and did not support her.

They made a defense that they were not liable and were only sure ties for the Portland Guaranty Company. Judge Sears decided against their holding that it meant something to sign a note.

COFFEE HEART Very Plain In Some People. A great many people go 03 suffering from annoying ailments for a long lime before they can get their own consent to give up the indulgence from which their trouble arises. A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his experience, as follows: "I became satisfied some months ago that I owed the palpitation of the heart, from which I suffered almost dally, to the use of coffee, (I had been a coffee drinker for 30 years), but I found it very hard to give up the beverage. "I realized that I must give up the harmful Indulgence in coffee, but I felt the necessity for a hot table drink, and as tea Is not to my liking, I was? at a loss for awhile, what to do. "One day I ran across a very sensible ) and straightforward presentation of the ' claims ot Postum Food Coffee, and was so impressed thereby that I concluded to give It a trial. My experience with it was unsatisfactory till I learned how it ought to be prepared by thorough boil ing for not less than 15 or 20 minutes. After I learned that lesson there was no trouble. Postura Food Coffee proved to be a most palatable and satisfactory hot beverage, and I have used It ever since. "The effect on ray health has been most salutary. It has completely cured th e heart palpitation from which I used to suffer so much, particularly after break fast, and I never have a return of It ex cept when I dine or lunch away from home and am compelled to drink the old kind of coffee because Postum is not served. I find that Postum Food Coffee cheers and Invigorates while It porduces no harmful stimulation." Name given by Postum Co.. "Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Ten days' trial proves an eye openr to many. Head the little book "The Road to Well vUIe'" la every package. ELIGIBLE AS PATROLMEN LIST OF THOSE WnO PASSED THE EXAMINATION.

All you do is to turn the sleeve inside out, take your scissors, rip off the worn lining and your work is done; there are two linings in a "Hercules" coat sleeve. Two sleeve linings certainly wear longer than one and it's surely easier for you to rip out the old lining than it is to put in a new one; it seems unnecessary to say more. We have applied for a patent on this double reinforced sleeve lining idea: that's why all other Boys' Suits only have one sleeve lining. " Hercules " Suits shed rain like a duck's back; every inch of cloth goes through a process that makes it shower proof, perspiration proof, moth proof and thoroughly hygienic and sanitary.
