Second Floor. TO REVOKE LICENSE Council Committee Votes - to Close Italian Saloon. VICTORY FOR RESIDENTS People Living in Neighborhood of ' Fifth and Sheridan Streets Tes tify Resort Is Conducted in Disorderly Manner. Such a. storm 6f protest was raised against the Italian saloon at Fifth and Sheridan streets before the Liquor Li cense Committee of the Council yesterday afternoon that it was recommended that the licence of the proprietor. Mike Degldio be revoked. Another Italian saloon, con ducted by Casclato & Bagnone at Fourth and Sheridan, was also slated for an In vestigation before the committee, but so much time was consumed putting Degidlo out of business that the hearing of tes timony against the other resort of Little Italy had to be postponed until the next meeting. The largest crowd which has attended a meeting of a Council committes for majiy months was present for the inves tigation of the two notorious Italian saloons of South Portland. A large num ber of property-owners from the vicinity of the places came to protest against their continuance and members of the police department told of the bacJ rep utation which the resorts have bome. A large delegation from Portland's Italian colony was also on hand. E. S J. McAllister appeared as attor ney for the property-owners and gave the Fifth and Sheridan street dive a se vere grilling. He called upon more than half a dozen property owners living with in a block of the place, who testified as to its disreputable character. They as serted that .the saloon had become so great a cause of trouble since the grant ing of the license about a year ago that the vicinity had come to be almost un bearable as a residence district. Rows, they said, were frequent and the noise of the shouting and cursing patrons of the place was an almost constant nuisance, especially Sundays, when the Italians gathered in great numbers at the place. Police officers testified to the generally bad reputation of the resort and a re port from Inspector Bruin was read, cit ing numerous times that trouble had been reported from the two saloons in the last two months. The testimony was of one accord in that the Degidio saloon was poorly conducted and that It had been the cause of a decrease in property val ues in the neighborhood. It was shown that the chief playground of the Italian children is immediately in front of the place, and that they are constantly con fronted with the spectacle of drunken, cursing men. H. H. Xorthup, as counsel for Degidio, while asserting that saloons are not de sirable In a residence district, argued that the resort conducted by his client was not so bad as it had been painted. If the residents wanted it out, he as Bertedk the proper thing to do would be to vote it out under the local option law. Councilman Vaughn moved that the license be revoked, and Councilman Mas ters seconded the motion. The only dis senting vote was cast by Councilman Annand. It is probable that the com mittee will recommend revocation of the license of Casiato & Ragnone at the next meeting, as there Is said to be a senti ment against it almost as strong . as against the other. The license held by Degidio was granted a year ago in the face of a remonstrance signed by more than 300 names. So much time was' consumed by the investigation of the saloon at Fifth and Sheridan streets that several matters which were to come before the commit tee were laid over. Among these was the investigation of the Pullman saloon, conducted by John Conraa In response to a request of Councilman Annand no further action will be taken in this pro ceeding for two months. Mr. Annand is to be absent from the city for that length of time and wished to be present when thA tf-Vtnfari ehni.l x The fight on the Chinese gin joints was postponed for a week, although many representatives on both sides were pres ent at the meeting. The . following liquor licenses were recommended granted: Landsberg & Strasdin. 63 North Third street: Smith & Hackman, East Water and East Mor rison streets; B. G. Cooper, 61 Russell street; New Commercial Company. 100 First street; W. F. McGilvray, 676 Thur man street; Thomas H. Conley. 87 Fourth street. TENDERS FOR DIGGING TTMA TILDA DITCHES OPENED.

BOISE. Idaho. Oct. i. (Special.) Consid erable excitement has been caused by an accident on the Boise branch road at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The train from Boise was behind its usual time and was running very fast. When it was thra miles from Nampa there came a loud ex plosion under the trucks of the engine. There were two reports, the first being much lighter than the second, the front trucks were lifted from the rails but dropped back squarely and the train went on without accident C.j E. Heckman. the engineer, states the explosion loosened his cap and the Jir as his machine again struck the rails knocked it off. The passengers in ea.-h car thought the explosion was directly under them. The baggagemaster and fire man saw a man in a buggy on an eleva tion nearby. He was standing watching at the moment of the explosion, but drove off immediately afterward.
