LINE UP WITH REFORMERS license of E. Johnson, proprietor of the West Coast Oyster House, on Seventh street, near Alder. These two licenses, therefore, will be up for action by the Council tomorrow afternoon. Out of 14 saloons, the proprietors of which were charged with various violations of or dinances, these two are the only ones recommended for revocation. DEATH OF DR. J. S. SURMAN Retail Liquor Dealers' Mutual 'Pro tective Association Joins Its Ef forts With Those of the Municipal League. In Its efforts to purify certain saloons and to Improve general conditions in the liquor business In Portland, the liquor license committee of the Council has been offered the co-operation of commit tees of the Municipal League and of the Ketail Liquor Dealers' Mutual Protective Association. Both of these organizations have adressed communications to the Council committee and asked to be granted the permission to have repre sentatlves present to Join in the reform work. By unanimous vote, the requests were allowed at the meeting yesterday. Another transfer of the troublesome Pullman Cafe license was recommended for passage by the committee, after a brief debate. This time P. C. O'Mara. a Portland man. is named as having pur chased the resort and Its stock of liquor, C. F. Tuck having decided that he did not care longer to conduct the place. The Pullman Cafe is the Alder-street es tablishment which was for a long time operated by John Conrad, and under his management became one of the most no torious saloons in the city. Although an effort was made by Coun cilman Rushlight to secure reconsidera tion of the action of the committee in recommending the .revocation of the saloon license of Baker '& Larsen, at Third and Taylor streets. It failed and It is regarded as certain the Council will revoke it. The proprietors were charged with allowing disorderly women to con gregate there. It was also shown during the recent Investigation that Mr. Larsen permitted his brother to bring In a cnlld and that liquor was drunk at the time. Mr. Rushlight said he thought that, in asmuch as Mr. Baker had severed con nection with the saloon and had sold his interest to a Mr. Hansen, the transfer should be granted. The committee also declined to recon sider its vote on the revocation of the Veteran Portland Physician Suc cumbs Suddenly to Heart Disease. Dr. James S. Surman, a veteran physi cian who practiced medicine in Portland for 30 years, died suddenly in his room, at 145H Third street, yesterday morning. The deceased was a native of England having been born In Worcestershire, died possessed of considerable wealth which is constituted in real estate, prac tically all of which is situated In this city.

April 29. 1MU An autopsy waa per formed on the body by Dr. Bristow and Dr. Yenney, which showed that death waa due to an aortic aneurism of long standing.

Eva Rliim tLAA mX iftin' FEAR PACKED HALLS Cry of Conspiracy in Precinct Meetings. DENIED BY C. M. IDLEMAN Suspicion That Statement Xo. 1 Re publicans Are Manipulating No tices to " Control Meetings Declared Gronndless. Next Saturday's Republican County Convention in Portland, will be attended by three delegates from each of the 116 precincts. The delegates will be chosen tomorrow night at 7:80 o'clock. In cau cuses In the several precincts. But be cause the caucus places in many cases have not been properly posted and party members do not know where to attend, the cry has gone up that the county central committeemen are conspiring to pack the convention with Statement No. 1 delegates. This is denied, however, by C. M. Idleman, chairman of the com mittee. That the caucus notices in many cases have not been posted in conspicuous places and In .some not at all is the plain fact of the matter. Anti-statement Re publicans declare that this is a game to get a Statement No. 1 platform In this county and shove that doctrine down their throats. They . demand that the caucus places be published In the news pspers In order that all interested Repub licans may attend. They say that some of the meeting places are so small that It would be Impossible for any consider able number of voters to gather. One of these places Is In precinct 77. at SSi Rus sell street, which is a small room in a confectionery and cigar store. Another, in Precinct 64. is at 00 East Ankeny street, a private residence. Chairman Idleman said last night that the caucuses and the convention have been given all publicity; that each com mitteeman has promised to post the no tices and has been supplied with the no tices for that purpose: that the caucuses will be open to all Republicans; that there Is no desire' to take advantage of any body of Republicans: that there is no purpose of forcing Statement No. 1 on the convention and that he believes the convention will not adopt a Statement No. 1 platform. Mr. Idleman said the purpose of the convention call is the adoption . of a platform, and no other business. But what will be the character of the platform he did not know. NEED A RIFLE RANGE Commercial CInb Acts With the Na tional Guard. The matter of securing a rifle range In the vicinity of Portland for the use of the United States Army and Navy and the National Guard of Oregon, was discussed at length at the meeting of the board of governors of the Commer cial Club yesterday. A committee to be named later was authorized to comer with a similar committee from the Ore gon National Guard for the purpose of investigating various sites suitable for a rifle range. The Club's action was in response to a request from Adjutant-General W. E. Finzer, of the Oregon National Guard, in which he referred to the fact that the National Guard has had no suitable rifle range for a number of years. The Adjutant-General also calls attention to the fact that there is no rifle range at Van couver Barracks at the present time and that the establishment of such works near Portland, affording target practice for marines, would have the effect of bringing Naval vessels to this port. The uncompleted condition of the de fenses at the mouth of the Columbia River was discussed and a resolution passed urging that the Oregon delegation In Congress use Its influence to secure the necessary appropriation for tne early completion of these defenses. The reso lution Is as follows: "Whereas. The safety of the valleys of the Columbia and Willamette livers against hoe tile Invasion from the Pacific Ocean depends upon the defenses at the mouth of the Colum bia, and ' Whereas, These are etlll in an uncompleted condition, owing to lack of Congressional ap propriation in past years, and Whereas. The City of Portland, with its great wealth, natural resources and strategic position, offers peculiar advantages to a for eign enemy attempting to establish himself on this Coast, and Whereas. The amount of S24K.2ft2 has been estimated u necessary to continue work on the much-needed defenses at the mouth of the Columbia, and the amount of fl.266.2o6 is further required to bring these defenses to full completion: therefore, be tt Resolved, by tbe board of governors of the Portland Commercial Club, that the Senators and Representatives of the State of Oregon urge the appropriations above named In the bills now before Congress, or to be intro duced, and to use their utmost endeavors to Impress upon the proper Congressional com mittee the necessity and propriety of. com pleting at the very earliest date the artillery defenses above mntlond. The Commercial Club has become In terested in the movement for' the better ment of public roads, and at the meet ing yesterday the board of governors dis cussed the plan of inaugurating a cam paign among the 'various commercial bodies throughout the state to Induce them to take a more active interest In the Improvement of highways. The bill of Congressman Jones, of Washington, granting authority to con struct a dam across the Snake River at Five-Mile Rapids was also discussed at yesterday's meeting. The Club has been urged by the Pasco Commercial Club to indorse the bill. A committee of three, to be chosen later, was authorized to in vestigate the matter, with full power to act for the Club In recommending or re jection of the bill. Tacoma Shipping Xotes.
