ING PARK SUPERINTENDENT. Members of Council Are 3ot Pleased With Lang's Letter, and fay Withhold Salary. A speoial meeting of the Council has bten called for this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, for the purpose of considering an appropriation for the salary of $3100. of fered to Emil T. Mlsche as superintend ent of parks .by the Park Board. After enframing the expert, the commissioners find themselves without sufficient funds to meet the obligations, as they kept their plans secret from the ways and means committee and no member of the Council knew of the matter until yesterday morn ing, when The Oregonian published the details. ' t. Ijuir, acting for the Tark Board, ad dressed a letter to each Councilman, stat ing the predicament into which the Board had been plunged, and calling upon the members to assist in the matter. This communication contained language not to the liking of some of the Councilmen. and they express indignation because of It. The Councilmen blame the Park Board and Mayor Lane for failure to come out Into the open with their plans and lay them before the ways and means committee, so that every one would know what was contemplated. It Is certain that much opposition exists in the Coun cil to the employing of an Eastern man for such an important position as super Intendent of parks at J2S00 a year, and much more so because of the secrecy on the part of the Mayor and Park Board. "I received a cony of Mr. Lunc's let ter." said Councilman Belding, "and will say that I had no knowledge of this matter until I read The Oregonian in the morning. The letter from Mr. Lang is untrue; it misstates things, and accuses the Council of something which it could not be guilty of, as it had no knowledge of the matter. The Council gets a 'roast' from the Park Board without knowing anything about the case until the publi cation of this In the newspapers. "We did not know that the Board de sired to employ a new superintendent, neither did we know what the Board in tended doing. We were not advised and still we get this letter charging us with all kinds of official opposition and putting us in the attitude of humiliating the Board and the Mayor. There are competent park experts In Portland, and I will never vote to employ one from the East. An Eastern man doesn't know our climate: he Is ignorant of local conditions, and would prove a failure for two or three years." Councilman Concannon is also opposed to employing an Eastern man for the position, and will not vote for an appro priation to pay the expert selected by the Park Board, he said yesterday. It Is known that other Councilmen will fight the Board's action. ' NEW SPRING SUITS. Weihave just unpacked our advance shipment of new Spring suits, coats and skirts.

The Plumbers' Trust, PORTLAND, Or.. Jan. 28. (To the Edi tor. ) H as an action been taken by any city official to breaJc up the Portland Plumbers' Trust? - This is one curse our city haa had for many years, affecting the poor man and rich man. It Is a dlearrare to any civilised community., and some ac tion should be taken at once to punish these commercial hold-up men. READER. FOUR LICENSES IN PERIL COTJXCTTi COMMITTEE S - ACTION IS DRASTIC. Baker & Larson, It. C. Turner and E. Johnson, of .Oyster-House Fame, in Same Flight as Fallon. Three, saloonkeepers and one restau rant proprietor will lose their liquor licenses as a result of the action of the llquor-llcense committee of the City Council. Tom Fallon, keeper of what the police declared to be the worst "dive" In the North End district, was the first victim. Baker & Larson, who conduct a saloon at Third and Taylor streets: Ia C. Turner, whose saloon is at Second and Clay streets, and E. Johnson, proprietor of the West Coast Oyster House, at 147 Sixth street, are the others. Johnson lost his restau rant liquor license because of three convictions in the Municipal Court of violating various ordinances. The liquor-license committee's action is a surprise. The revocation of a sa loonkeeper's license is startling, and no one seems able to tell whether such a thing ever before happened in Port land. Heretofore, when, the police have threatened to seek the revocation of these kinds of licenses they have been laugrhed to scorn by the liquor dealers, who had no reason to feel alarmed over the prospect. It is different now, for already the heavy hand of the com mittee has been felt, and it looks as if the time had come here when a sa loon must obey the law in order to re tain a license. The liquor-license committee is com posed of Councilmen Cottel, Vaughn. Rushlight, Wills, Wallace. Ltriscoll and Bennett. It has given several days' at tention to alleged disorderly saloons spent five hours In hearing testimony recently, and yesterday afternoon in the cases of Johnson, Turner and John Kublc. Kublc was discharged, but was given orders by the committee henceforth to sell no liquor to drunken persons, and to conduct his saloon, at E'23 Union avenue, in a better manner. Too many "sleepers" have been found there by the police, It was declared, and he must now keep his barroom free of loungers and Intoxicated peo ple. This Kubic promised to do. . Assistant City Attorney Grant con ducted the investigation for the prose cution, but in the case against John son, of the West Coast Oyster House, he was given much help by Councilman Drlscoll, whose attitude from the start was opposed to the places This greatly pleased and amused Councilman Vaughn, who laughed heartily each time his political enemy would interro gate a witness. About the only ques tion Vaughn asked of Johnson was -as to what brand of beer he sold, to which the defendant promptly replied. Vaughn then laughed more uproarious ly than ever, all the while looking straight at Mr. Drlscoll. Captain of Detectives Bruin was the principal witness against Johnson, al though Acting Detective Kay also took the stand. The latter had very little to say about the place, as he explained that he had not been in the establish ment much of late, being assigned to Chinatown. Councilman Driscoll point edly accused Kay ' of refusing to tell all he knew about the oyster house, and charged that Kay was withholding Information that would be very In jurious to the place. Captain Bruin introduced transcripts from the Municipal Court, showing that Johnson had three times been con victed of selling liquor contrary to law. These transcripts had great weight with the members of the committee, and really brought about his convic tion. Johnson was represented by Lawyer Makelin. and denied the ac cusations in a general way. He de clared Captain Bruin was actuated by personal motives. L. C. Turner's license was revoked because he conducted a disorderly house in connection with his saloon. Ultimatum to Railroad. ' SALEM, Jan. 28. (Special.) The Oregon Railroad Commission today notified the Southern Pacific that unless depot facilities are provided at Alrlle at once the Commission will proceed to see that the people there get the relief they are entitled to. AN EXPLANATION OF THE FIGHT Two years ago Frank L. Smith was a strictly wholesale dealer, selling meat to the retail butchers of the city. Along came the Chicago Beef Trust, who told the butchers they must quit buying from Smith or suffer ruin. They were made to pay a fine of from J5.00 to 125.00 for each load of meat pur chased of Smith. Such were the black mailing tactics brought into Oregon by the greatest criminal organization of the age the Chicago Beef Trust. It wanted no competition in the whole sale business, because it alms to pay the farmer as little as possible. Smith went to the public and offered meat at wholesale prices and flung out his banner "FIGHTING THE BEEF T RUST" The Trust, jealous of Smith's suc cess, sent Its agents to him, saying he must stop selling meat so cheap ok "they would put markets right up alongside of him." The TruBt would like to drive out all competition in selling, so that It might be able to raise the price, as it does in the East. Smith's meats are all strictly fresh Oregon meats, and they are the cheap est meats In the United States, be cause they are weighed on honest scales. No matter what the Beef Trust may do. no matter how It may scheme. Smith and the Oregon people will win. THEY WILL OITMVB TUB BEEC TRUST.
