It is announced that the fate of the general liquor license ordinance pend ing: before the St. Johns Council will be settled at the meeting this evening. The W. C. T. U. and the Law and Order League have filed a remonstrance con taining 1(0 names against the passage of the ordinance, and a delegation from those bodies will be present this evening. The St. Johns Hotel Company claims that it has a contract with the Council to grant it a license when It complies with certain conditions, by erecting a building, which it is now doing. It has deposited a check for $1000 with the city. This con tract is claimed under a resolution passed several weeks ago pledging the Council to grant the license introduced by Coun cilman C. D. Edwards, who has since blocked the granting of the license his resolution called for. Another matter pending is the vacation of portions of streets for the SU Johns Lumber Com imny which offers to erect a $100,000 lum ber plant. Representatives will attend and show plans of the sawmill It is pro lKscd to erect. So much opposition has come up against a plumbing ordinance that the one pending will likely be dropped. If it is passed it wljl require the serices of a plumbing Inspector, but there is no money to pay his salary. Columbia Grange Officers.

East Side Department. Councilman A. G. Rushlight is in favor of establishing an East Side street-cleaning department in the interest of economy of time and expense. He calls attention to the great loss of time by the men cross ing and recrossing the Willamette River when work isbeing done on the streets on the east side of the river, and hence he believes that a force of men should be kept in that portion of the city con stantly. He would have a barn located at some central point which would be headquarters and thus save time In go ing to and from the place of work. He figures out that the loss of time Is about an hour for a day for each man. I nion Sunday School Officers.

Wants the Ballot Given to Women. At a meeting held in the First Congre gational Church yesterday afternoon Miss Marie Brehm, state president of the I Illi nois W. C. T. U made an interesting address on the subject of progressive women and their rights, advancing many strong arguments to the end that woman should stand side by side with her broth ers in all matters of justice. "Women only ask equal privileges with men." she saJd. "They are not petition ing for any special favors; they only ask their natural rights. In my public speak ing I have heard thousands of arguments based on the inexpediency of allowing woman to exercise her rights, but none based on the Justice of the matter, for no men deny that It would be but just. Yes, is it not expedient to be just? Then why not accord woman what Is so justly hors? "I have often been asked," she contin ued, "whether the granting of equal suf frage would cause a revolution. No; it woulcl only cause evolution. Revolution comes only from being denied the rights of expression, but whore there is a voice given to women's convictions it will n:c.an the evolution of the race. Again. I am asked If women know enough to take their places Intelligently In politics. Women have a way of reaching th'e cen ter of any moral conduct which men do not possess. Their intuition leads them to the right side of an Issue. Men ac knowledge this and It makes them afraid of -us. When It conies to a matter of intelligence, consult the census report, compiled by men, and It will show you that the illiterates of this country arc mostly men, the women being In the minority. And il will also show you that at the lasf Presidential M election several million men voted who were not able to read or write; yet Intelligent, finely edu cated women taxpayers were barred from this privilege. Church statistics show that two-thirds of the members are women, yet when a church or denomina tion takes a stand for any public measure only a small fraction of that church can have a voice In the matter at the polls. "Women are not tlic fighters men are. They huve a greater sense of the value of human lives than men and would cer tainly feel able to settle questions of state in some more civilized way than sending their sons to battle to slay ach other. Women are natural governors by thIr original grant of motherhood. Ev eryone has at some time been governed by a woman and Is the better for it." The women of the Bible were mentioned by the speaker and many excellent pas sages quoted to Illustrate that from curliest times they were given signal honors and attention. Man s voluntary tribute to woman In the present day was also mentioned. The emblem of liberty enlightening the world, the figures of jus tice, of hope, faith and charity,, and even . the heads on all silver and gold coins of this country she mentioned as being those of women, and said she hoped what had been men s ideal they would soon make real. Mrs. L. F. Addlton, state president of the W. C. T. U., presided at the meeting. Miss Brehm spoke last night at the Ignited Brethren Church. East Fifteenth and Morrison streets. She will leave this evening for Salt Lake. AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say. TICKETS FOB CAIiVE. Regular Box Office Sale Opens at Marquam Today.

This week the feature will be Tony Ryder's trained mon keys. These monkeys have been trained to perform In a. remarkable manner and they create more fun than a doxen life-sized comedians.

Turkish Entertainment. The Sunday at-home at the Y. W. C. A., Sixth and Oak streets, was specially in teresting last evening. Miss France Gage, state secretary of the Association, who has been for five years connected with the American Missionary School for Girls at Van. In Asiatic Turkey, took charge of the programme, and gave an In teresting illustration of the dress and customs of the Armenian and other girls who attend the school. A Turkish bride, in full canonicals, was very successfully impersonated by Miss Stout, while Miss Reynolds appeared as an Armenian school girl. George Gage took the part of a Turkish page, and little Elizabeth Tinker Illustrated by her ragged costume the forlorn condition of a child of the poorer classes. Miss Gage's de scriptive history of the work of the mis sionaries in Turkey particularly In the district which has attracted so much at tcntion from the Turksh massacres was listened to by a crowded audience with sustained attention.

The Ar lington Club was represented, also the Commercial, the Portland 40). 'Airy and "Arrlctt In generous numbers, clerks, stevedores, shopgirls, floorwalkers, side walk statues, newsboys, bell boys, court officers. Afro-Americans and myself. We wrc all there. And we ccrtalnly made up a cosmopolitan assemblage. Which means that the show has a wide appeal. We had a bully afternoon. In the first place, there was George L. Ba ker, the hero of many theatrical triumphs and storms: Mr. Pearl, the rapldest box- office functionary alive; Mr. Grlffcn. at the head of the orchestra: a full house, arid a mua'cal burlesque up to the aver age of the kaleidoscopic Wheel that is visiting us spoke by weekly spoke as the season waxes. The plan of festivities is unchanged from the established routine an cxtrava ganza with music, specialties, followed by sclectcd acts of the apostles of vaudeville. It is. in fact, galvanized vaudeville. We all laughed and clapped, and went home satisfied. "We all knew the general qual ity of the fare. "We all unquestionably llked much of it. There was nothing high about It except the audience, which had a high old time. Still, there was nothing low about It. There was an ample supply of variety, nothing short about it except skirts, and It was im mensely diverting. Among the rest, this week's is a pleas ing outfit with a noteworthy absence of anything indecent or coarse. The names of the people engaged matter more to themselves than to anyone else, so you can read them In the cast above it you like. As to merit, the pretty and neatly dancing chorus, the team of tumblers. the novelty punching bag pair, and the two teams that sang parts in musical uni son instead of piping the same note to gether, made the most acceptable Im prcsslon. Comely girls clad in sweet faces and baby-blue stockings go far toward soften ing the jar of a raucous ensemble. The grace of a red silk ankle that deftly swirl.- a cloud of whit laccry distracts the eye from a wTinklcd neck. Some really smart topical verses lessen the rough method of an essentially good He brew comedian. The melody of the songs make them bearable, even if several of them arc repeated by nearly every company. Even if so trustworthy a man as John Corbin thinks that Weber & Fields' sep aration, and long-continued repetition, have killed the Snltz cult of German, the red-haired Irishman with green whis kers and the Louis Mann style of Jew, there an glimmerings of the real humor of these characters In some of the Wheel workers; and we confess that, barring the Intolerable length of their dialogue, thoy often tiokle the innermost cockles of our risibilities. Then, you must remember, in forgive ness, there is a good reason for their at tenuated gabfests the ladles of the bal let, or chorus, or frame to the picture, as it were, appear in a succession of bril liant costumes that render their life an almost continuous dizzy whirl of strip changes. That's enough. MULTNOMAH MEN LOSE Baskct-Ball Game in Eugene Re sults In Varsity Victory. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Jan. II. (Special.) Two games of basket-ball were played by varsity players last night, one by the second team against the Eugene High School team and the other against a team of university stu dents who are also members of the Multnomah Athletic Club. ln the first same the snappy little high school players took advantage of the second team's lack of co-operative play to win by a score of ll-S. When the other teams lined up against each other Stevenson was at center for Oregon with Johnson and Riimp forwards and Perkins and Strong- guards. Multnomah had Moorcs at center. Taylor and Kuykcndall for wards and Hug and Frank Frisscl guards. In the first half the speed and strength of the Multnomah track ath letes took the varsity by surprise and the score was 4-4 when the whistle blew for Intermission. The second half began with Nelson in Strong:'splace at guard, and Orcgan added eight points to the score, while Multnomah suc ceeded in gaining- only four, the final score standing 12-S in favor of Oregon.

The atmosphere at the Empire last even ing was charged to bursting with poten tial feeling-. It was almost hysterical. Not a point was lost. They ate the play up "Her Marriage Vow," by Vance and Sullivan. The audience resembled a department- store shirtwaist 3ale. I did not know there were so many good-looking- mem bers of the eager sex in this city. Ox eyed darlings and their mates, paterfa millas and the family, had turned out in numbers so great that the theater was not big enough to hold them. The play is declared In the programme to be a sensational comedy-drama. It is all that, and more, and less. It is boiled down human nature in an exaggerated form of melodrama, with jomc farcical cnaractcr trimmings to relieve tne strain. To say that those people were apprecia tive does them scant justice. They were explosive. As the high-pitched line of sentiment was spoken It acted like t hair trigger that fired the gun of thun aenng applause. .Every jot or tne old story of a wronged girl, her villainous betrayer, the hero, the honest father, the old maid, the eccentric ingenue, the good friend and true, dire trouble and and and happiness at last, was watched with breathless Interest. Now. this cannot be with any minds save honest ones, unhardened ones. That Empire crowd was a compliment unto It self and a proof that hearts are not yet wholly dead and superciliousness Is not everywhere the style. God bless them! Miss Kate Walters led the company In the role of Aileen May. She Is a blonde leading woman of considerable power and unmistakable promise. William N. Webb who played Ned Benton, the hero, has finish and good taste. Miss Viola Keene. Kate's cousin, is a clever girl In her char acter work. Charles R, Allen made the weakness and duplicity of John Carleton stand out. and Miss Virginia Richmond made a colorful "heavy of Hester Nor ton. The company Is more than good. The play is full of interest full of situations that thrill those who let themselves go. Miss Walters has real talent that grips you Instantly, and the sad note In her voice js effective. The same players have been here before, and they were welcomed yesterdar with warmth. Many of the old matinee stock patrons were on hand, and the fact was incontestably demonstrated that there Is a large clement in Portland to enJor ac ceptable productions at acceptable prices. "Her Mhrringe Vow" will be continued tnrougnout the week. STEAM SCIIOOXEIt KUUGEIl IS A TOTAL- IiOSS. Tuff Sea Foam Kcscncs Shipwrecked Voyagers From Open Boats In Mountainous Sea. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 11. The pa scngors and crew of the wrecked steam scnooner v. u. Krugcr, which went ashore off the Mendocino County shore Friday, arrived in this city todav on board the tus Sea Foam. For nearly four hours the refugees of the wrecked vessel were tossed and buffeted about In life boats In a heavy sea before the Sea Foam loomed up in sight and took them on board. The passengers and crew of the Kruger were clnd only in scant clothing, having left all tnelr effects on board the vessel Luckily there were no women or children In the open boats. Several times the ves sel threatened to turn turtle in the rue Insr sea. but luck was on the side of the shipwrecked crowd, and they managed to weather the storm until the Sea Foam Picked them up -at 7 o'clock this morn Ing. The Kruger left Fort Brags: at I o'clock Thursday afternoon with a cargo of lumber consigned to Swayne and Hoyt of this city. Shortly after leaving the Northern port the Kruger encountered heavy gales and rough seas. When but a few miles outside of Fort Bragg the Kruger commenced to fill with' water. The seas rose to tremendous heights and the wind became a terrific gale. The situation finally became so desperate that Captain Nordberff decided to abandon the vessel. Passengers and crew were lowered with difficulty into lifeboats.

(To the Edl tor.) Pardon & humble criticism of a por tion of an able and Interesting editorial which appeared In The Oregonlan of Jan uary. 9. on Alexander Hamilton. I refer to the following expressions: 'The strength o the Constitution was supplied mainly by htm." "He 'did not succeed in getting Into the Constitution all that he desired for It strength and permanence; but nearly every thing that gave it force was his work. Surely the writer of the editorial did not take time to reinforce his Just general con ceptton of Hamilton's work and genius by reference to particular historical facts. Great as Hamilton was. the fathers of our Constitution were not willing to accept his extreme views, such as for example, that the President and Senators should be elected by persona possessed of a certain amount of Street, Portland, Oregon AT THE TOP OF THE LIST FOR MERIT, OAKW00D MALT THE CANADIAN MOST OPTEN IMITATED JROTHCH1LD BROS.

In the same patriotic spirit he labored for the adoption of the Constitution by the states, and hls great work In this connec tion in tho State of New York you nave Justly praised. It has been pointed out that his articles In the Federalist advocating tne adoDtlon of the Constitution are a monu ment not only to his genius and patriotism, but alno to the virtue and Intelligence of the men to whom they were addressed and who were persuaded by thm.
