IHri MOHM.NU OKEliOMAX. FJRIDAY, MARCH 20, 190S. 13 PACKERS SUGGEST 11 COMPROMISE Draft New Ordinance Forbid ding Maintenance of Any Slaughter-House. WILL SUBMIT IT TODAY Kcrrsentativcs of Sctmartzschlld & Sulzberger Contend That Amend ed tranehise 'Will Meet All Objections to Big Plans. An entirely new ordinance permitting thu Schwartzschild & Sulzberger inter ests lo build and operate a modern packing-plant within the city limits, and at the same time prohibiting the main tenance of a slaughter-house within the Hmc limit, will be submitted to the committee on health and police at its meeting at 11 o'clock today. At the same time a strong petition from property owners !n South Portland will be pre sented asking that the ordinance be passed. It will be stipulated in the ordinance that the plant shall mret all require ments imposed by me United States au thorities to regulate such industries. The new ordinance to be submitted is in the nature of a compromise proposition as tho bond that was suggested from tho Si'liwartZNchlld Sulzberger people proved objectionable. What favor the committee will show the new ordinance r'-malns to be seen. Members of the com mittee are Councilmen Concannon, chair man, Annand and Wills. Deny Zimmerman Rumor. The suRgostion that has been made tha.t the grhwartzpchild & Sulzberger prnple are acting in tire interests of .nui Zimmerman, seeking to permit him to operate his slaughter-house on the old site, is stoutly denied by the Srltwartzsehild & Sulzberger people and the new ordinance seems to explode this etory. Opposition to the erection of a packing plant on the old Zimmerman site comes. It is said, from people who have prop erty on the Peninsula, at I.iunton and In otjier parts of the city that would be cnlifmrcil In value by the erection of a p;tcking-house nearby, as well as from the rival parking interests. It was said last night that practically everp property-owner In the district where the. new plant will he located is favorable to the erection of the Schwartzschild & Sulz berger plant on the old Zimmerman site ami will petition the Council to that effect. The business done by the Schwartz schild & Sulzberger packing-plant in a year Is given as over $1 ."(. OrtO.OUO or more than the earnings pf the llarriman sys tem of railroads in the same period. This tn-nii-mltfiia business is handled in four pi. mis, one at New York, another at Smith OiiihIih. one at Chicago, which it is proposed to duplicate at Portland, ami the establishment at Kansas City. The Schwartzschild & Sulzberger people iiavu no small plants anywhere. . 1). S. Stearns Gives Views. Havitl S. Stearns, who is quite heavily Interested in Sou! h Portland . property, favors granting the Schwartzschild & pulzhergrr people the right to operate nn the old Zimmerman site. He said last night: 'The South Portland people are in favor of the plant and they are cer tainly the ones to be consulted. If the establishment proves a nuisance. South Portland people will be the ones to suffer and it will be their property that U be affected. However, they believe that the operation of a packing-house thero will be a great benefit to their fiction as well as to the entire city. "f am of tho same opinion. A modern establishment that meets the require ments of the Government is not a slaughter-house and one that costs J-'.iW.OrtO. as I understand this establish mtnt will cost, will be a credit to that part of tho city and will build it up. That It will benefit the whole city is apparent, for it will mean a labor center at the south as well as the north of Portland, and will not mean the build ing up of the city only at the north. The packing-house proposed will consume ex cry thing, hides, horns, blood and offal aud there Is no reason why it should bo offensive.'' BRIEF NEWS BY TELEGRAPH M.?""' yroiIrTUh Z: .ell.

PROBE SELLWDOD SCHOOL COMMITTEE FILES FINDINGS WITH BOARD OF TKADE. Recommends That Additional Stair way Be Built and Exterior Fire Escapes Erected. TV. H. Golding, J. W. Campbell and D. A. Thompson, appointed by the Sellwood Board of Trade to Investigate the con dition of the Sell wood schoothouse, , have filed their report. It ia set forth that fire drills are held frequently and that exits are kept tree. It fs recommended that a stairway be place! at the south end of the upper hail leading to exit below, to allow escape In that direction. The committee also noted the absence of fire escapes on the outside of the build ing;, and reports that they should be pro vided, to afford means of escape from any room in case of fire obstructing the doorway in the hall. The door leading from the children's basement into the janitor's basement and thence to the outside from south end of basement is too narrow to accommodate a crowd in case of a panic and should be made double its present width. The committee conclude: We take the liberty to travel beyond the scope of authority delegated by you and of fer some criticism upon the lack of out door playgrounds' for the children. The base ment, a very poor substitute for outdoor ground at the best. Is too small to provide playroom for 600 children, while the tramp ling of so many small feet, frequently carry ing clay from our ur. paved streets, produces dust upon the cement floor, that rles and Alls the air. to the manifest injury of lungs and throats and possibly carrying germs of insidious disease. A frequent flushing of the cement floor would help for a short time only, but -would be likely to render the base ment damp and objectionable on that ac count. We are informed, as above indicated, that contracts have been let for four additional rooms to be built this coming Summer upon the ecuth end of the present structure. There are already classes to occupy three of these rooms, two classes now occupying the assem bly hall to the exclusion of everything else, and one class occupying a temporary struc ture etandlng on Multnomah street and shel tering also a class in manual training. By time of opening the September term this addition will be overcrowded, together with the present rooms, and we will be again calling for increased evhool facilities. All this a p pea rs fro m the present an X proa pective growth of Silwood. To recapitulate, we recommend stairway from south end of upier hall and fire-escapes on outide of each room and widening of doorway between front and rear parts of basement. Though not within the scope of our in struct ions, we recommend the acquirement of additional grounds which are needed now for additional playgrounds and will be needed very eoon for additional buildings. We fel that ample grounds- should be se cured now. w bile property fs cheap, and sh?u:d include a; af the west JKVo feet of the block, upon which tiie present building kt locaJ.ati. The Doctor Knows. Note what your Doctor drinks. You will find itgenerally a beer, and a bottled beer. And the label is usually Schlitz. He is a man who knows. He knows that beer is healthful, and every day he prescribes it. The hops are a tonic, the barley is food. The trifle of alcohol is an aid to digestion. That is why he drinks beer. But he knows that beer must be pure, else there are germs in it. And he knows that beer must be aged, else biliousness comes from it. That is why he drinks Schlitz.. He knows that we double the necessary cost of our brewing to insure absolute purity. We carry cleanliness to extremes. We filter, not only the beer, but even the air that cools it. And we sterilize every bottle. Do as your Doctor does. The demand of today is for purity among the millions who know. Schlitz and insist on it. The Beer That Made They order There are now so many of them that our sale exceeds 1,500,000 barrels annually. Ask for (he Brewery Bottling.

Ankeny St. Portland Milwaukee ramoiis IN A GUSH vouxG Lawyer givex lessox IX JUXXERS. Deputy City Attorney Tomlinson Pointedly Kebukes Aggressive ness of Youns Russian. H. Tanckwich. a youns Russian bar rister whose extreme aggressiveness hae gained for him more or less attention, bad an eventful visit yesterday afternoon to the office of City Attorney Kavanauch. Yanckwteh went in the interest of a gang of Russian workmen who had a grievance against an employment agent. With characteristic real he demanded, rather than requested, a warrant of arrest, and when reputy City Attorney Tomlinson suggested that there were two sides to fhe case, as he had learned after an investi gation, Tanckwich flew into a rage, say ing a number of things that could hardly be printed. "You can't use that kind of language in here.' Mr. Tomlinson informed the young lawyer. "There are places where any kind of language ought to go." said Tanckwich. with another touch of his characteristic sarcasm. "No. you've got to behave yourself prop erly here," Mr. Kavanaugh said when he was appealed to. There was a brief tempest, but both men quieted down. Tanckwich said he would waive his right to a warrant and make a settlement on behalf of his clients for 18 from the employment agent. The agent said he would write the check and left the office with the lawyer. But on reflection the employment office man changed his mind, decided that he would rather chance a trial before Judge Cam eron than pay IIS and so informed Tanck wich. That young man fairly ran back to the office of Mr. -Tomlinson, breaking in on him while the official was talking with newspaper men regarding a case which had been tried earlier in the day. "Your talk up here beat me out of an other case and I'm cut US on account of you," exclaimed the barrister profanely, unceremoniously and without excusing himself for the intrusion. Mr. Tomlinson fairly sizzled for a moment in silence: then he walked up to Tanckwich and spoke very much to the point. "I want you to understand, once for all, that kind of talk doesn't go here. I won't stand it from you, or any other man. You've got to behave yourself like a gentleman when you're In here or I'll throw you out. I mean that and I hope it penetrates your understanding. That's the second and last time you're going to be told." . The rapidity with which the Tanckwich aggressiveness disappeared was a sight to behold. He didn't apologize, but stam mered meaninglessly for a solid ten min utes trying to find an easy place to light. Then he retreated amiably, saying he would call later and ask for warrants in another case wherein employment sharks are alleged to have bilked unfortunate workingmen.
