BOX. ORDINANCE
. IN EXISTENCE
Councilmen Say That Dr. J. W.
Brougher Is in the
Wrong.
WHAT MEASURE PROVIDES
Controversy Arising From the State
ments of Clergyman Lreads City
Fathers to Make Beply to
HIS Accusations.
MINISTERIAL VIEW OF "BOX
ORDINANCE SITUATION.
"Take our box ordinance We had
exactly -what tvc -wanted and the town
needed. The Supreme Court had pro
nounced upon its constitutionality. It
would have saved many young; girls
from ruin durlnc the last eight
monthi ; hut It -rras repealed by the
present Council Just aB Mayor Lane
ot a hance to enforce It. Now this
liquor license commltte is to recom
mend Its readoptlon for political
effect." Rev. Clarence True Wileon
In Sunday night's sermon.
"Second Among tho first things
that the preeent Council did was to
repeal this ordinance, making It ab
solutely Impossible for the Police De
partment to get at the evil for which
the box stands first, last and all the
time."' Rev. Andrew J. Montgom
ery's view of the matter as expressed
in his sermon SUncay night.
'But I am creditably Informed that
these worthy representatives of a big
city play the 'baby act' and quarrel
among themselves. The result is we
get no box ordinance whatever. In
the race of all these facta I reiterate
my charge that the majority of the
City Council have not served the city
in the interest of decent government,
or they would have given us a box
ordinance, Mayor or no Mayor." Ex
tract from Dr. Brougher's sermon of
Sunday night.
Clearly, several Portland ministers are
Very much in the dark on the box ordi
nance situation tvhen their understanding
of the status of affairs prompted them to
contend in their sermons last Sunday
night that this city had been without any
box ordinance for several months, and
that the original Albee measure had been
repealed.
llembers of the Council yesterday dis
cussed this phase of the situation, be
cause the records show that the city has
never been without a box ordinance since
Mayor Lane assumed the reins of munici
pal government.
Ordinance in Effect.
Although Various attempts have been
made to Becure the passage of other meas
ures of this character, it Is nevertheless a
iact that for several months past the fol
lowing .ordinance has been in full force
and effect:
Section 1. 2fo person ngaged in selling
spirituous, malt or fermented liquors or
wines in quantities less than one quart in
any saloon, bar-room or restaurant in the
City of Portland shall sell any liquor to be
deliverod or used, or that shall be delivered
or used In any side room, back room, upper
room, or other apartment in the same or an
adjoining building, and hall not maintain
therein or connect therewith any alcove.
looth or box. or aball have or maintain any
private or separate entrance for any par
ticular claws of customers, or any words or
sign upon any entrance signifying that such
entrance Is for ladles -or families, or for any
particular class of persons, or Is a private
entrance to euch bar-room, saloon or restau
rant, or to any other apartment -used In
connection therewith.
Section 2. It shall be unlawful for any
person to conduct, carry on, open or main
tain any restaurant, bar-room or saloon
within the City of Portland that has con
nected therewith any box. booth, stall, or
any private room; provided, however, that
this ordinance shall not apply to a private
room having a floor space of more than ICO
square feet, nor shall It apply to restaurants
in which spirituous, malt or fermented
liquors or wine are not sold, and in which
such box, booth, stall or private room is so
constructed as to be entirely open upon the
ylde facing any hall, stairway, passageway
or room. And the side thereof do not ex
ceed seven feet In height: provided, that
nothing herein contained shall prohibit tile
serving of such liquor to guests in a hotel
having a valid license to sell the same.
Is. Generally Observed.
Xot only has this ordinanco been In ef
fect all along, but information gathered
by The Oregonian at police headquarters
last tilgbt indicates that in the main it
lias been carefully observed by saloons
and restaurants throughout the city. A
few isolated cases have been reported
where attempts have been made to evade
Its provisions, but generally speaking It
is a law that has been respected by the
local saloonmen and restaurant-keepers.
"I heard Dr. Brougher deliver his
sermon last Sunday night," said Coun
cilman Hugh W. Wallace, of the. Sec
ond "Ward, "and It was some time be
fore I could determine whether I was in
a house of worship or a circus. There
was an orchestra in attendance, and be
tween prayers the strains of 'Dixie
Land,' and other airs more or less lack
ing' In divinity, enlivened the surround
ings. Dr. Brougrher excused himself
-after baptisipg several converts on the
. stage, and later ?on appeared arrayed
in flashing- diamonds and fine linen. Including-
a white vest. It 6truck me as
being-. &, little .bit out of the ordinary,
and that the reverend gentleman was
clven very much to sensationalism.
Disclaims Right to Criticise.
, "However, I do not claim any right
to criticise him on this account. In the
presence of 2000 or 3000 people he pro
ceeded to cast reflections upon mem
bers of the Council which are not
borne out by the facts, and, to put It
mildly, are not true, as anybody can
ascertain upon inquiry."
Councilman Shepherd, who was also
present, has requested Dr. Brougher to
permit him to make reply from the
'same pulpit next "Sunday evening. Tho
pastor of the White Temple stated last
night that it was a mistake to suppose
that he had challenged any member of
the Council to public debate, and denied
having made such a statement In his
sermon. Howover, he had taken Coun
cilman Shepherd's proposition under
-consideration, he s&ifi. and would reach
a definite conclusion on the subject to
night, after consultation with the
board of managers of the First Baptist
Church.
Information From Mayor.
Dr. Brougher stated further that on
all matters .pertaining to the Council
men's support of the Mayor in connec
tion with box ordinances, he grot his
information direct from Mayor Lane. In
disclaiming all personal animosity to
ward any of the Councilmen. Dr.
Brougher said: "My only desire is that
-we should have a cood box erdlnance
that would protect our young: ihcb and
'women from "being easily eaticed late
sin and ruin. If the Councilmen are
ready to give us good laws and clean
government, I shall be ten times as
quick to coramend them as I have been
to condemn them' He admitted also
that & box ordinance had been In ex
istence all along:, but thought it had.
been tinkered with by the Councilmen
to such an extent In their efforts to se
cure other legislation, that it had been
practically nullified. He did not wish
to create the impression, he. said, that
there was absolutely no box ordinance
in existence.

LECTURE FRIDAY' NIGHT
Mrs. Sue Harper Minis to Address
Public on Christian Science.
A complimentary public lecture on
Christian Science will be given at Be
lasco Theater next Friday night. Mrs.
Sue Harper Mims, C- S. D., of Atlanta,
Georgia, member of the Christian Sci
ence board of lectureship of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, will
be the speaker.
The local churches of this denomi
nation recently learned that Mrs.
Mims would pass through this city
from Southern California and at once
made arrangements to take advantage
of the opportunity to have this emi
nent Christian Scientist address a Fort
land audience.
Mrs. Mims is the wife of Major Liv
ingstone Mims, ex-Mayor of Atlanta,
and belongs to an old -and distinguished
Southern family of Scotch ancestry.
She has been a conspicuous factor in
Southern life, has always stood for
idealism and has attracted to her home
the most eminent, distinguished and
brilliant people of the section. She has
been a frequent contributor to the pub
lie press on ethical and literary sub
jects. About 20 years ago she devoted her
life unrcserve.dly to the cause o
Christian Science, becoming a student
and folower of Mrs. Eddy.
Mrs. Mims was a pioneer worker in
the South in this movement, and has
labored successfully as practitioner,
reader, teacher and fecturer. She pos
sesses remarkable power as a public
speaker, and has a cultured, impressive
style and a sympathetic and attractive
manner. 1
It is the custom of the Christian Sci
ence Churches throughout the United
States to give these free public lec
tures once or twice each year, their
purpose being- not to proselyte or con-
ert to the -doctrine, but rather to corr.
rect misapprehension and r-Ivc those
who wish to be corectly Informed on
this -subject, now so generally before
the world, an authentic statement of
its teachings.
Seats for tho lecture will not be re
served. The doors of the Belasco The
ater will be opened at 7:15 o'clock Fri
day evening, and the lecture begin at
8 o'clock, after which time the doors
will be closed.
Portland Actress on the Valencia.
Fred T. Mcfrlll says that Mildred
Cole, a young- Portland actress and
singer. Is believed to have been one
of the passengers lost on the illfatcd
steamer "Valencia. The body of a woman
found also tallies with the description
of Miss Cole In every detail, so it is
said by her - many friends here. A
Lewis and Clark souvenir and two sol
itaire diamond rings were found otf the
body and Miss Cole is known to have
been In possession, of these. The cloth
ing also corresponds In every detail
according- to letters received from her
friends in San Francisco, who say she
left on the Valencia to go to Alaska.
Miss Cole left Portland only a couple
of raenths ago, playing the circuit to
San 'Fraaelse.

PRIESTS GO TO 11
Estate of Mrs. Anna Norton
in Dispute.
FATHER CASEY BRINGS SUIT
Woman Assigns Her Property, but
Afterwards, by Will, Bequeaths
Xiargc Part of It to Ttcv.
Father Kelly.
Edmund D. Casey, a priest of the Ro
mas. Catholic Church, is seeking by legal
means to obtain possession of all of the
properly of tho estate of the late Anna
Norton, amounting to 117,000. and comprising-
two notes and mortgages amount
ing to 515, OCtt. and cash. Rev. Mr.
BUSINESS? A QUESTION WHICH: BIDS FAIR-TO RIVAL "THAT
Casey is seeking to set aside a will of
Mrs. Norton In which Rev. M. J. Kelly,
a priest at Condon. Of., is largely. inter
ested, and the legal battle between the
two gentlemen of the cloth promises be
fore it has concluded to furnish facts
which will make interesting reading Tor
the public.
Yesterday Father Casey filed a suit In
the State Circuit Court against John F.
Logan, attorney, to secure the mortgages,
notes and money left by Mrs. Norton, of
which Mr. Logan Is the legal custodian.
Rev. Father Casey alleges In the com
plaint that he is the owner of all of this
property by virtue of three assignments
made In his favor by Mrs. Norton, Octo
ber 5, IKS. These assignments cover a
note and mortgage for S0. another .note
and mortgage for $7&K and a mortgage
and note for J3K. The last was col
lected by Mrs. Norton after the assign
ments were made, and is now represented
by 2000 cash In the form of a certificate
of deposit. Mr. Logan drew the assign
ments, and the understanding was that
they were to be delivered to Father Casey
immediately following the death cf Mrs.
Norton, and she retained duplicates of
them.
What Lawyer Logan Says.
Mrs. .Norton died January 9 last, and
Mr. Logan states that he has been in
formed that about a week prior to that
time Father Casey introduced Father Kel
ly to Mrs. Norton.
Four days before her death Mr. Logan
alleges Mrs. Norton sent for him and
told him not to deliver the assignments
to Father Casev. Thi dav JvfnrA thi
end came. Mr. Logan. at her request. I
wrote her will. She was very weak, and
had to be nronned tin In lnd. PathprIvl- I
ly was present, and also John C. ShIIIock
and another witness.
The bequest made in the will follows:
To-SL Joseph's Church or school to be
located at Condon. . To Rev. Father j
M. J. Kelly, of Condon. J15CO. To the
"Dominican Fathers, Portland. tt."0. To '
friends, Lizxlc McMahon, Annie O'Brien i
i.Hi .ua oicvcas. caca, ana I or masses
XXO. To Bishop Charles J. O'Reilly, of
Baker City. $3003; and to John F. Lo
gan 2M.
The rest, amounting to about 5K, Is
devised to Bishop Charles J. O'Reilly and
Rev. M. J. Kelly for the purpose of erect- J
olic hospital at Condon.
What the Will Provides.
The will further provides: "It Is my
wish and will that any person who shall
contest this will shall lose any and all
right as heir, legatee or beneficiary in this
will, and it is my further wish and will
that if they have any right under the law
that they are Ticrcby bequeathed and de
vised the sum of $5."
This provision was probably Intended
to shut out Father Casey's claim under
the assignments.
Rev. E. D. Casey was for three years a
priest connected with the cathedral in
this city and was chancellor of the dio
cese. Later he wos in Seattle under Bish
op Edward O'Dea. and he subsequently
went to Springfield. Mass.. and Is still a
member of that diocese, on absent leave.
His health has not been cood. He has
been sojourning in Portland for two years '
past. Mrs. .Norton was a pioneer resi
dent of Portland. Father Casey was a
particular friend and took care of her for.
n long time. Because of ministering to
her wants and out of friendship and re
gard, she transferred all of her property
to him by assignment, and he claims it
for his use and benefit individually.
Father Kelley a number of years ago
had trouble with Archbishop Gross and
during their controversy Father Kelly
criticised Archbishop Gro?s for appoint
ing Sister William the head of a new
Catholic order In this city.
Judge Wolvcrton Acts.
In the case of the Lambert Hoisting
Engine Company vs. tho Astoria & Co
lumbia River Railroad Company and the
Northwest Construction Company, Judge
Wolverton yesterday allowed the defend
ants until March 1 within which either to
appear before the court or to plead to a
bill of complaint. The case of S. E. HInes.
of North Bend, who entered a petition In
involuntary bankruptcy, was dismissed.

LORD WILL NOT RUN
Ex-Governor, of Oregon Makes
Authoritative Statement.
ASKED BY MANY FRIENDS
Marlon Countyr He Declares, Has
Enough Candidates for State Of
1.. JUccs, and He Would -Not ' -Weaken
Their Chances.
SALEM, Or., Feb. a. SpecIal.)-Ex-Governor
W. P. Lord will not be a candi
date for the Republican nomination for
Governor at tfie coming primary election,
as recently reported. In several news
papers. In answer to an Inquiry by an
Oregonian representative today Judge
OF "WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN
Lord made the first statement of his In
tentions upon that subject. He unequiv
ocally declares that he will not be a can
didate, and has not intended to be, though
he has listened to many requests from
friends that he enter the race.
This announcement puts something of a
change upon political affairs. When It
was reported that Lord would enter the
Gubernatorial contest. Marlon County
candidates felt that their ehances had
been injured. There wa3 corresponding
rejoicing among candidates from other
parts of, the state, for the supposed en
trance of Lord Into the race would help
their chances. Lord's declination leaves
the situation as it stood a week ago.
When Judge Lord was asked this morn
ing whether he intended to become a can
didate for Governor, he answered "No."
In a decisive tone that left no room for
doubt as to his meaning. Continuing, he
said that the announcement of his pro
posed candidacy In several papers had
doubtless come .through conversations
with his friends, for he had given out no
statement to that effect. He said that
some of his friends have suggested that
he become a candidate and tendered him
their support, but after giving the matter
some consideration, he had concluded not
to enter the race for the nomination. Ho
said that he thinks Marlon County al
ready has enough candidates for state
offices, and that any additional candldacy
would be likely to lessen the county's
claim for recognition In other counties of
the state, and weaken the chances of all
aspirants for nomination.
Speaking further upon the subject.
Judge Lord expressed tho opinion that
the person who shall be selected for Gov
ernor of the state will have an oppor
tunity to put himself In touch with the
sentiment of tho country, which is now
actively reformatory and progressive, and
by his conduct of public affairs, set an
example of high ideals of public duty.
He expressed the hope that the primary
contest will be carried on In a spirit of
good will, so that Its result will leave no
trace behind of resentment or grievances
to endanger or jeopardize the success of
the ticket.
PRACTICE IS CONDEMNED
Justice Seton Says Deceptive Attach
ment Notices Arc Wrongs.
The practice of attorneys for collecting
agencies of Ixsuing alleged attachment or
ders, purporting to come from the East
Side Justice of the Peace Court, yesterday
received a severe castigation from Jus
tice Waldemar Seton. He declared that
henceforth it would not be a safe thing
to do. The remarks of Justice Seton were
brought out yesterday morning in the
case of J. E. Adcox against Attorney M.
B. Meacham, for tlSo damages and attor
ney's fees, which the plaintiff alleged he
had sustained by a notice signed by
Meacham ordering Nelson to hold a cer
tain trunk for money due William Relsch
man. whereas no action had been started,
nor had any such attachment ever been
issued out of the East Side Justice Court
The notice was headed "In the East Side
Justice Court." and was In such a form
as to give the impression that it was an
official order from the court. Adcox
started suit for damages against Attor
ney Meacham. whereupon the latter- filed
a demurrer on the ground that the facta
were not set out sufficiently.
The attorney for Meacham argued that
the notice sent to Adcox was simply a per
sonal notification and was not Intended to
deceive. Judge Seton held that, as tho
order was headed "In the- East Side Jus
tice Court," and that it was marked so as
to deceive the uninformed. It was a rep
rehensible and unbecoming practice. Ho
declared that It was meant to deceive the
person receiving it. as shown on its face.
He sustained the demurrer, but gave the
plaintiff time in which to file an amend
ed complaint. The case will then be heard
on its merits. Justice Seton has the orig
inal "attachment notice" In this case and
he has been Informed that others of the
same sort have been Issued, purporting
to come from the East Side Court, where
there were no cases started.

AHTA lYD W THE plague
W1KKjFL of winter
Every Catarrh, sufferer dreads the return of cold weather, for at the first
cold breath of the season this plague of Winter is fanned into life with all
its miserable symptoms. The nostrils are stopped up, and a constant dropping-
of mucus back into the throat keeps up a continual hawking and spit
ting, the patient has dull headaches, ringing noises in the ears and a half
sick, depressed feeling all the time. Every inner lining and. tissue of the
body becomes inflamed, and secretes an unhealthy matter which is absorbed
into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and the disease be
comes constitutional. The catarrhal, poison brings on stomach, troubles,
affects the Kidneys and Bladder, attacks the soft bones of the throat and
head and if not checked leads to Consumption. A disease so deep-seated
and dangerous cannot be washed out, neither can it be smoked away.
Sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., are useless, because they only reach the
membranes and tissues, while the real cause of the disease is iu the blood.
S. S. S. cures Catarrh because it attacks it through, the blood; it goes into
the circulation and drives out all unhealthy accumulations and catarrhal
matter, and when this is done every part of the system receives a supply of
S.S.S.
PURELY VEGETABLE. and enriching the blood and building up the
entire system, cures Catarrh permanently. If
you have Catarrh do not waste time with local remedies, but begin S. S. S.
and write for our book and any medical advice without charge.
