rWin KrroRM mxa.tkes pass.
Ths City Council yesterday after
noon pasted an ordinance, the terms
of which exclude women from saloons
In Portland.
Mayor Lin asked for and was
granted by tha Cltr Council ten
additional patrolmen. He announced
that he will soon Inaugurate his cru
ade to drive from the city all dis
orderly women and close all dla-
.nntshle honsra
Theaa two new features, added to
ih wrrat sweentna ordens of DIs-
trlct Attorney Cameron. would
t Indicate that Portland will
mn he indeed a "closed town." as
Ice cream parlora. bootblack stands
and almost every kind of stores are
ordered closed on Bunday.
If Maror Lane does not veto an ordi
nance passed by the City Council yester
day afternoon, women will not be allowed
to enter aaloons In Portland. This dras
tic measure, which is an Innovation here,
was fathered by Councilman Cellars and
waa put throUKh without much comment
by a vote of eight to five, at the close of
the all-day session.
During- the morning session of the
Council. Mayor Lane suddenly made a
definite request that the members pass
Councilman Kellaher's ordinance, appro
priating J4000 to pay the salaries of ten
additional policemen, which are to be
used In an experiment 'to eradicate the
social evil In Portland. After some argu
ment, the Council passed tha measure,
and the reform crusade will aoon be
launched.
One Reform Measure Loses.
The only reform measure that met de
feat yesterday was Councilman Wills
proposed ordinance, eliminating: all of the
present-day attraction of saloons, stripping-
them of chairs, lounges, alcoves or
anv obstructions. This was turned down
with a dull thud, the vote being 12 to 3.
Councilman Baker was the chief oppo
nent, and attacked the ordinance In a bit
ter speech, characterising It as foolish,
absurd and "Intended virtually to create
a prohibition town." He particularly
objected to the removal of obstructions
from the front windows of saloons, say
ing that he did not like to have hla rela
tives and every one else in town see him
Srlnklng. although he was not particularly
ashamed of taking a drink. He said he
bad no patience with such an ordinance.
After being buffeted about and exper
iencing great tribulation and trouble, and
having Its fnte apparently sealed several
times, the ordinance, prohibiting women
from entering saloons, bobbed up as se
renely as ever, at the conclusion of the
afternoon session, and was passed by the
following vote:
Vote on Saloon Ordinance.
Yeas Baker. Belding. Bennett. Cellars,
Tottel. Menefee. Wallace. Wills. Nays
Concannon. Drlscoll, Dunning. Kellaher.
Rushlight.
It Is the most drastic ordinance ever
passed by the Portland Council regulat
ing saloons, but City Attorney Kavan
augh drafted it. with the aid of his com
bined office staff, and declares he can en
force Its provisions. Many of the offi
cials believe It will work a wouderful
change for the better In the city. Con
6 It Ions as to women and young girls loit
ering In the saloons were said by Mrs.
Lola O. Baldwin, of the police sen-ice. to
be very alarming. There are. she said.
t least 100 liquor-shops where women
congregate all the time.
One of the most stringent provisions
of the measure is that which also ex
cludes minors from restaurant-boxes.
Where liquor Is sold, unless these boxes
have not loss than 400 square feet of
floor space.
Mrs. Baldwin made the following
Utatement after the passage of the or
dinance: "For three years I have been advo
cating the passage of an ordinance
which would exclude women from sa
loons and also protect the young wo
man from the evils of the boxes In res
taurants where liquor is sold. Of late
I have been making a careful Investi
gation of these places at night, count
ing the girls in the downtown district
with the result that I found conditions
worse than supposed. Many people
Imagine that no good girl enters the
side room to a saloon, but this Is In
correct. The word Vafe' allures many
an Innocent girl and many an after
theater supper in a restaurant box has
been the means of downfall and ruin
to many young women.
"The ordinance passed today Is a
splendid measure and will be for the
best interests of the city. I belte-e
It can be enforced and will be a means
of protection. Prevention Is far better
than cure and the men of the City
Council who voted for this measure
ought to be heartily commended."
MORAL WAVE TO SWEEP CITY
Council Grants. Mayor Ten More Po
lice to Close Disorderly Houses.
Mayor Itne yesterday morning asked
the City Council to grant him 10 addi
tional patrolmen for the express pur
pose of banishing the disorderly wom
an from Tortland and In enforcing his
order closing all disreputable houses
In all sections of the municipality. The
Council acted quickly, acceding to the
request, the vote on the question being
11 to 2. Counctlmen Cottel and Drls
coll alone dissented. Mr. Cottel first
rated favorably, but changed when the
Mayor said that he would regard the
action of the Council as an expression
of the approval or disapproval of the
members as to the policy of attempt
ing to eradicate the social evil from
Portland.
There seems now no doubt that
Major Lane will soon Issue an order
to Chief of Police Gritzmacher in
structing that all disorderly houses be
closed and the women Inmates ordered
to pursue legitimate avocations, or
leave the city. As It will be an easy
matter to close up the known houses
f III repute and to carry Into effect
the order In the first Instance, the real
Bght will ensue when It comes to en
forcing the order as to banishing the
women Inmate from Portland and In
keeping them from scattering over the
city. It Is said.
Up to yesterday morning there ex
isted a strong suspicion In the public
mind that Mayor Lane did not enter
Into the contemplated action in good
faith, as until then he refused to come
out squarely and make a direct re
quest for the number of officers. "Sov,
however, he has officially declared to
the members of the Council that he
will try the experiment of closing the
disorderly houses of the city and the
banishing of the Inmates. He also told
the Council that he will do his utmost
to control the situation to the extent
that the women shall not be able to
elude the police and go out Into the
residence sections, and promised to use
the police force to protect respectable
citizens from this danger.
Mayor Lane frankly told the Council
men that to eradicate the evil under
consideration he knows Is an experi
ment, but that he intends to try It
and see whether It can be done. No
other large city, he said, had ever un
dertaken it, and. he thought, perhaps
It was not desired In any other city
to attempt such a thing. However, he
believed that, as It is the law that
these houses of 111 fame shall not exist,
and the matter had been called offi
cially to hla attention, he Intends to
close up every one of the places, and
never allow them to reopen while he
Is In office.
"I don't believe It can be done." toI
unteered Councilman Vaughn, of the
Tenth Ward.
"Maybe not," answered the Mayor,
"but It s the law, the law."
"Well, 1 want to tell you one thing."
replied Mr. Vaughn: "we don't want
any of the North End delegation In the
Tenth Ward, and If they come out
there, we'll take a shotgun and drive
them out."
"Do that, Mr. Vaughn, do that," said
the Mayor.
Mayor Lane will probably prepare to
execute the programme in a short
time, possibly within 10 days. A spe
cial selected squad of officers must be
organized for the purpose. It Is quite
likely the work will be done tinder
the direction of the detective staff, with
Sergeant Tom Kay, of the old "moral
squad." In personal command.
Grant Will Be Appraised.
The City Council, yesterday afternoon,
sent to the City Executive Board for
appraisement, the franchise sought by
the Portland Hallway, Light & Power
Company on East Fifteenth, between
Tillamook and Siskiyou streets. This Is
one of a number of grants sought by
the company, and which are now under
consideration. Councilman Kellaher
fought the action, but failed to win his
point. He believed that it was unwise
to detach this application from the
others, and said It was "slipping the ap
plication along like grease" and that It
"will lead to trouble." He said it Is a
device of the company to release five
blocks of franchise on East Fifteenth,
which is soon to be paved with hard
surface pavement.
Franchise Amendment Defeated.
An effort by Councilman Kellaher to
secure an amendment to an ordinance,
granting to the Oregon & California
Railroad the right to lay a sidetrack
on East First street, between East Yam
hill and Belmont streets, was defeated
in the Council session yesterday after
noon. Mr. Kellaher endeavored to secure
the Incorporation of a provision binding
tho company to pave Its sidetracks and
spurs at any time the Council might
order the street paved.
PEDDLERS FIND CHAMPION
V.VCGHX OPPOSES ORDIXAXCE
AIMED AT FRUIT VENDORS.!
Measure to Restrict Their Opera-tions-40
Snbnrhs Is Killed
in Council.
An ordinance providing tha't the
street peddlers may not continue to
conduct their business on the down
town streets, but that they may sell
their wares from house to house in the
suburbs, failed to pass In the City
Council session yesterday afternoon.
It was recommended for passage by the
license committee. but Councilmen
Vaughn and Belding succeeded In hav
ing it referred to the same committee
for further consideration.
This was another effort to abolish
the custom of years, which tolerates a
string of vendors on the principal
streets of the city, and which Is strong
ly resented by the merchants because
It brings the peddler, who operates at
small cost. Into di -ect competition with
the regularly-established merchant,
who is forced to pay high rents and
other expenses. However, thus far it
has been Impossible for the Councilmen
favoring an ordinance to exclude ped
dlers from the streets to muster suf
ficient votes to win the fight.
Councilman Vaughn argued that the
"poor peddler Is tho friend of the poor
purchaser," and declared himself op
posed to the ordinance to drive the
peddlers Into the suburbs. He said he
has frequently patronized the vendors,
and thinks them a public benefit.
"If the ordinance provides thac the
hawkers shall not cry out so that you
can hear them four miles, as they now
do. I will votn for it," said Councilman
Wills. "I was sick last week, and
they nearly drove me crazy yelling
their wares."
Mr. Vaughn, smilingly, said that It
might be a good Idea to add a section
making It obligatory upon each hawk
er to investigate in the neighborhood
to ascertain first if there is illness: If
there is none, that they may proceed to
scream their wares. Mr. Vaughn said
that he had scarcely ever been vic
timized by the peddlers, as he is tble
to Judge good fruit.
"How do you know good fruit when
von see It?" asked Councilman Drls
colC Why the same as you tell a horse
from a cow." replied Mr. Vaughn, amid
laughter. "One has horns and the
other hasn't."
Councilman Baker made a strong
plea, favoring the passage of the or
dinance, and Councilman Annand also
sought to secure favorable action.
CAR SHORTAGE IS SERIOUS
Montcsano Millmen Making Bitter
Complaint.
'MONTESANO. Wash.. Sept. 24. (Spe
cial.! The millmen of Montesano are
complaining bitterly over the Inability to
get a sufficient supply of cars from the
Northern Pacific in which to ship their
product to Eastern points.
Rush orders are now coming In for
lumber and shingles from dealers who
are anxious to fill up their depleted
stocks, but the same condition of no oars
Is met with and the result la complaint
all along the' line.
It Is asserted that there would not be
any very serious shortage here If this
point could have the use of all empties
credited to Montesano, but the local
agent has received orders to forward two
emptv cars daily to Aberdeen and Ho
quhim. and this takes practically all the
cars, as It Is often the case that the re
quired number is not unloaded every day,
and to make up the requisition it takes
every car that cornea In, leaving none
for Montesano millmen.
SAYS ROADS. NOT
LAVUE NEEDED
Head of Rock Island Declares
Country Suffers From Hit-or-Miss
Statutes.
FAVORS FEDERAL CONTROL
B. Ij.' Winchell on Arrival In Port
land Asserts State Commissions
Should Be Supplanted by
Central Body.
"What the country needs Is more
and better railroads; not more railroad
regulation." In these words, B. L.
Winchell. president of the Rock Island
system, summed up his opinion of the
railroad situation in this country last
night upon his arrival In the city
from Puget Sound for a two days' stay
in Portland. President Winchell Is
traveling In his private car. Rock
Island No. 1900, and Is accompanied by
his wife and son. B. L. Wrinohell, Jr.,
and his private secretary, R. A. Dennis.
Furthermore, President Winchell be.
lieves the problem of railroad regular
tion would be simplified a hundredfold
if the various state commissions were
abolished and the power to control the
various transportation systems of the
country were placed in the hands of
one National commission only.
People Suffer With Roads.
"If the railroads are hurt, the peo
ple have a right to know where the
responsibility lies," said he. "For when
the railroad interests are hard hit, the
people suffer. The railroads are the
biggest purchasers In the country and
when they car.not spend large sums of
money, the people are the worst hurt.
With the slap-bang, hlt-or-miss regu
lation the railroads are getting from
the states whose laws differ as much
as the various patches of a quilt, the
railroads are being hurt.
"The various state railroad commis
slons should be done away with and
the work left with one central com
mission. That body should be re
sponsible to the people for the control
of transportation In this country. With
a Federal commission In charge, the
railroads and shippers alike would
know lust what to expect. The soon
er the whole matter sifts down to one
commission, the better it Is for rail
roads, shippers and consumers.
"You take people who live 60 miles
from a railroad and what they want is
a transportation line, not more fussy
railroad regulation. But how are these
people to get a railroad? People are
not going to Invest In new construction
unlesB they are aesured of security for
their investment.
"Do you feel assured that one Na
tional commission could attend to all
the various matters coming up for set
tlement?" President Winchell was
asked.
Many Cseless Questions Raised.
"I have not gone Into the details at
all. but how many questions there are
raised that never need be brought up
at all. So far as the Rock Island Is
concerned, our line Is a conservative
one. I say conservative for we operate
in a conservative territory. It is sel
dom we have anything but regular
traffic. Conditions are stable in our
territory and no new resources are be
ing opened up. We can say. therefore,
that if there were one Interstate rail
road commission, we would know at all
times Just where we stood."
"Is there any indication of any im
mediate raise in freight rates to pro
vide more revenue for the railroads?"
was asked.
"I cannot say Just what will be done.
There is need of something of that sort
but I cannot say Just what rates will
be raised or when."
President Wlnchell's career is one of
the romances of American railroads.
For several years he was assistant gen
eral passenger agent for a small line
In the Middle West that later became
part of the Rock Island consolidation.
As assistant general passenger agent
Mr. Winchell plugged along and nobody
thought he would ever be heard from.
He took another railroad position fur
ther west and then happened to get In
with the New York crowd that was In
the habit of Juggling together a few
lines that began nowhere and ended
far from anywhere and making a big
system.
Quick Advance in Position.
Mr. Winchell was put back as presi
dent of the road where he 'was formerly
assistant general passenger agent and
sometime later, lo and behold the rail
roader, who everybody thought then was
a simple plugger, was made the head of
the Rock Island and Frisco systems,
when tile impending consolidation was
effected, a position he has since held.
In fact, few railroad men 1n the country
are more prominent than he, for he
presides over a railroad system with
trunk lines and branches aggregating
li.ooo miles In operation.
The present trip is a vacation one for
President Winchell. He came west over
the Canadian Pacific and after visiting
tha Puget Sound cities, he came south
over the Northern Pacific to Portland.
He will remain here until Saturday,
leaving that day for Spokane over the
O. R. & N. and thence back to his Chi
cs go,, headquarters over the Northern Pa
cific." He has not been In the city for
the past ten years and his trips about
Portland today will show him many
changes.
C. A. Hunter, general agent here for
the Rock Island lines, and friends of
President Winchell in the city will Join
In entertaining him while here. This
morning he will he taken about the city
for automobile rides and he will be given
a luncheon at the Arlington Club. This
afternoon the private car of President
Josselyn of the Portland Railway, Light
Power Company will be placed at his
disposal and Mr. Winchell and party will
go out to Caxadero to see the power
plant there. Saturday he will dispatch
considerable business that has accumu
lated on the trip and start on the return
East.

BITCLITHIC ORDINANCE.
Attempt to Fix Maximum Rat of
$1.50 for Pavement Proves
Unpopular With Majority.
Councilman Vaughn's effort to se
cure the passage of an ordinance di
recting the City Executive Board to
award no more contracts for bitulithic
pavement In Portland at a rate of more
than $1.50 a square yard, met with de
feat yesterday afternoon in the City
Council, the vote being 11 to 4. Mr.
Vaughn, who had made a characteristic
appeal to his colleagues to support his
measure in order to secure an investi
gation by the Council as to the proper
charge for this brand of hard-surface
Btreet, told the opposing members, af
ter the vote was announced, that their
action would come up "to damn and
curse'' them. He declared that such an
ordinance will be passed some day, or
that the people will speak in no un
certain terms.
Councilman Cellars, who led the op
posing faction, aid some of his col
leagues greeted Mr. Vaughn's warning
with laughtei. The vote on the ques
tion of passage of the ordinance, was
as follows: Teas Cottel, Kellaher,
Rushlight. Vaughn: Nays Annand, Ba
ker, Belding, Bennett, Cellars, Concan
non, Driscoll. Dunning, Menefee, Wal
lace, and Wills.
While Mr. Vaughn repeatedly de
clared that the only purpose of his
proposed ordinance was to bring about
an official investigation of the prices
charged by the Warren Construction
Company for the copyrighted articles
used In the bitulithic pavement, and
'to stop the holding up of the people
of the city In broad daylight," his mo
tives were seriously called In question
by Mr. Cellars. The latter said he could
see no object except to "put the com
pany out of business," and declared it
would be more beneficial to the Asphalt
company, than to the public if such
was accomplished.
It remained for Councilman Bennett
to add a touch of sarcasm, which he
did by saying:
"I tell you what I think we had best
do. The bitulithic trust Is throttling
us; the asphalt combine has iis going;
the bituminous macadam Is crowding
us; and the gravel barons will prob
ably complete the combination. It
seems to me that we should revert
back to the ways of the primitives, and
hereafter use nothing but the old-fashioned
cow paths; it's the only safe
way."

FIVE RESORTS USE RAIDED
POLICE STRIKE BLOW AT
GAMES IX CHIXATOWX.
Small Army of Officers Batter Down
Doors, Capture 29 Players
and Seize $23 7.
Portland's chief of police last night
assembled all his most expert China
town sleuths in a body and marched
them against the Chinese gambling re
sorts, making one of the most exten
sive raids executed since open gam
bling was closed. Five different China
town resorts were raided simultane
ously by five squads of two detectives
with the result that 27 Chinese and
two Japanese were arrested and 1237.60
seized. ;
The raiding squads were Detective
Smith and Patrolman Craddock, Detec
tives Kay and Howell, Detectives Ten
nant and Inskeep. Detective Hawley
and Patrolman Hyde, Sergeant Keinlen
and Detective Hunter. The buildings at
80, 83, 86, 93 and 95 Second street, ail
of them within 60 yards of the police
station, were the scenes of this con
certed attack. The police, with sledge
hammers in hand, looked like a gang
of workmen on their way to a foundry.
As they reached Second and Oak streets
the officers broke into a run and, dodg
ing In hallways and up stairs began
beating in doors.
The shouts of both the police and the
gamblers drew large crowds to the
street and for the ensuing hour China
town was all excitement. Inside the
various resorts the police made short
work of the han-ed doors with which the
Chinese gamesters had guarded their se
cret rooms. Doors three and four Inches
thick were knocked into splinters and
the scurrying players were intercepted
and herded into one large crowd. They
were marched in a body to the police
station, where representatives of the un
known proprietors afterwards came and
deposited $1460 In gold for release of their
countrymen. .
The rumor was prevalent that this
wholesale raid was the result of a re
port that the grand jury contemplated
an Investigation and that the depart
ment desired to present an attitude
which would show it in a favorable
light. W'hen asked for an explanation
of the raid and whether it meant Chinese
gambling would be closed up for the fu
ture. Chief Grltzmacher said that he had
ordered the raid solely because he had
heard that with the Incoming of a large
number of Chinese, from the canneries
In Alaska, gambling had become active.

And this sale marks an epoch in the history of the clothing business of
this vicinity. Never before have such values been given, and the re

thing that stands out pre-eminent in this sale is the always complete
assortment of styles and sizes made so by our adding to the stock
heavy shipments that arrived from the factories every day. As a
matter of fact, the bargain values offered right now at the close of the
sale are really bigger and better than they were when the sale
first opened due to added new merchandise. If you, therefore, have
a suit to buy, don't think that the assortments have been broken
