THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1905. GUIS WHINE Tomorrow The Meier (& Frank Store's 8 1 3th Friday Surprise Sale 10,400 Pairs "0iyyx" Hosiery for Women and Men Women's 75c to $2.00 Values for 49c Pair Men's 50c, 75c Values for 32c Pair Municipal League and Saloon Interests Drift Apart. BOX ORDINANCE THE CAUSE IJoth Sides to Controversy Claim They Have Majority of Council. Leaguers Stand Pat. Against Attempt to Repeal Law. The City Attorney holds that under the provisions of ordinance No. 14020, known as the "anti-box ordinance," It would be unlawful for a restaurant havlnu a license to sell wines or liquors, to serve a banquet at which beer or wines are served, except In the main dining-room. He holds further that it would be unlawful to serve a private dinner party without reference to the sire of the room. If the same be not in the main room, as the ordinance makes It unlawful for saloons or restaurants to maintain private dining-rooms. "The ordinance distinctly prohibits maintenance of any separate entrance for ladles or other class of persons," said City Attorney SIcNarj". in answer to an Inquiry yesterday upon the sub ject. "The Rathskeller in the Port land Hotel would not come within the inhibition of the ordinance," he con tinued, 'owing to the fact that hotels are exempted In this particular. "It would be unlawful for any per son not doing a hotel business to main, tain what Is known as a 'Rathskeller.' feparate from the main entrance or place where business is carried on. I am not prepared to say whether or not the ladles' grill In the place known as the Tavern would be considered a (separate apartment from the main dining-room, owing to the peculiar construction -of this resort. I have not been in the same. If It should be, however. It would be unlawful to sell liquor therein, or to maintain it for liquor-serving purposes." It begins to look as If the chasm separating the local liquor interests and the Municipal League Is growing: wider and wider, and that no definite results can be expected from the conference that took place last Tusdeay in the Mayor's office between the two warring factions over the operations of the box ordinance. It seems to be quite cer tain that tho Municipal League is go ing to stand pat on the proposition, and It was hinted quite freely last night by those prominent in their councils that they are masters of the situation. The issue now seems to be whether the Municipal League will be able to control the City Council, 11 of whose members It opposed at the recent elec tion. The liquor Interests claim to be in a position to repeal the present law entirely, while the Municipal Leaguers scoff at the idea, and assert that the liquor men will havo their hands full to secure even a bare majority in the Council, let alone the necessary two thirds vote of Its members, in order to pass a new ordinance over any possible veto of the Mayor. Both sides are preserving- a state of armed neutrality, and unless the unex pected happens during the interval of the next meeting of the city lawmak ers, the prospects are more than flat tering for a battle royal between the two rival elements. History of Ordinance. The inside history of the present or dinance is in itself interesting to a high Jegree. It was originally demanded, so the story goes, by tho Municipal Ab sociation from the late Council at a period when the Matthews machine was laying Its ropes to catch the Municipal League vote for Stott and Reed for Sheriff and District Attorney, respec tively, against Word and Manning. The measure was drafted by the liquor li cense committee of the Council, com posed of B. D. Sigler. A. K. Bentley, L. Zimmerman, Sandford Whiting and A. F. Flegel, and a committee appointed by the Municipal League, consisting of W. W. Cotton, O. P. M. Jamleson, Miller Murdoch. W. J. Honeyman and W. L. Johnston. Hotel Was Protected. It is asserted that while the ordi nance was being drafted the Idea pre vailed of protecting the Hotel Portland, and with that object In view a man was (sent to measure the Turkish room ad joining the rathskeller of the hotel, so that an ordinance could be drawn ac cordingly, and it is claimed that tho dimensions of the Turkish room cor respond with exceeding nicety to the 160-square feet provision of the ordi nance that is now prox-ing such a dis turbing element in certain quarters. The second section of the ordinance provides In effect that meals and drinks may be served in dining-rooms containing not less than 160 square feet, but the first section contains a clause that liquor can only bo old in the main dining-room, and in no other room or side room, and Mayor lane construes this feature of the measure. Tne liquor men claim that they are not contending in any way for a closed hox. The controlling influences of the liquor interests apparently recognize in it an evil the regulation of which is so difficult that they consider it better to eliminate it altogether, but they srenuously object, after conceding this point, to the radical provisions of the present ordinance, which, they assert, would absolutely prevent the mainte nance of any booths or alcoves, no mat ter how open or public they might be. and which also prohibits private dinner parties, and practically insists that if any person wants to eat or drink in any place that serves liquor, they must do so in the main dining-room.
