HUME BOARD FDR DEFIGUT
KEPT PliAXS SECRET COXCETCN"
. 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. '

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.
