Ten Applications of Biff Down-Town
Grills Are Still Without Recom
mendation and Will Go Before
the Council as Whole.
Owinff to utron differences of opinion
among members of the liquor-license com
mittee of the City Council, ten applica
tions for licences to sell liquor with meals,
made by proprietors of "biff" downtown es
tanHnhmenis. are still without the neces
sary number of signatures to recommend
them favorably to the Council for action.
Again yesterday afternoon, all were un
signed ecnt by Councilmen Cottel and
Drvcnll. They will o to the Council
ihfs time without recommendation and a
hitter A tit will thus be precipitated. At
I in meeting yesterday the committee lis
tened to testimony In four cases, dis
missing charjres against three saloon
IcPrt; and votinsr to revoke the licence
of the other. Much wrangling and caustic
comment by membfm, one at the other,
characterized the committee's session.
"I refuse to vote for anything until
we get the Cellars law straightened out."
miM Councilman Rushlight, whose amend
ment to the celebrated "women -In-sa-loons"
ordinance was defeated recently In
the Council. "If we keep up at this rate
we wiil have no saloons and all res
taurants." "I do not see, in view of the opinion of
the City Attorney, how the committee
can refuse -to sign these applications,"
said Councilman Cottel. the chairman.
Vaughn Favors High License.
"Well, you Just watch me, and I'll show
you how I refuse," commented Council
man Vaughn. "I refuse to sim any such
Applications until such time as res
taurants and saloons pay the same
licenses. I am in favor of fixing res
taurant liquor licenses at $300 a year,
just as the saloon license, and will never
sign anv application on any other basis."
"I will sign every restaurant liquor
license that Is presented." was the state
ment of Councilman Drtecoll.
City Attorney Kavanaugh's opinion,
as read. Is that no restaurant serving
liquor with meal3 can lawfully serve
it unless granted a license by the Coun
cil. I'nlefcs some action Is soon taken
tosettle the cotroversy. which has now
continued for a month. City Auditor
Barbtir will ask the police to order
proprietors of these places to cease
serving liquor with meals. Among the
places are the Louvre, the Quelle, the
Hof Brau, the Turn Halle, the Perkins
ririll, the Oregon Grill and the Port
land Grill.
Pasing from the applications to the
hearing of testimony against certain
saloonkeepers, members of the commit
tee became embroiled In heated argu
ments among themselves and much bit
terness and differences of views was
nparent.
Councilman Vaughn became so dis
gusted, after three cases were heard
without revocation being ordered, that
he moved to dismiss the charges
against the fourth saloonkeeper, with
out hearing any testimony. Councilman
, Cottel, as chairman, gave Mr. Vaughn
a severe vert-al i ashing. "It is insul.
to every member of the committee,
the way you have talked," said Dr.
Cottel. "We have done very well in
regulating the saloons. We have re
voked some licenses."
Swan sons' License Revoked.
Charges against G. H. Kunx, Herman
Sperling and Sam West were dismissed,
but the committee voted to revoke the
license of Gus Pwanson. All were
charged with violations of the ordi
nances governing iiquor traffic. Kunx
runs a saloon at East Twentieth street
and Sandy road. He was arrested" by
Police Sergeants Keller and Klenlen,
who found two drunken men In the
pl.ice. Sergeant Keller said he went to
the scene to Investigate on information
from Policeman Burchell. who. said
Keller, declared that there might be
some women there, Burchell was -sent
for and denied this. Councilman Ben
nett. In whose Ward the saloon Is lo
cated, told the committee that the sa
loon is one of the best conducted In
Portland. .
Gus Swa niton, whose saloon Is lo
cated at 355 North Fifteenth street, was
arested by Policeman Swennes for
selling liquor to men who were drunk.
He denied the charge. The officer
swore that, on foggy nights, bricks
and beer bottles, had been hurled at
him from this saloon, and Councilman
otte. voted with Rushlight and
Vaughn to revoke.
The other two cases were without
special Interest, being mere technical
violations. It was pointed out.

made for an entertainment to follow the
dinner, consisting of musical and liter
ary numbers, games and charades. Miss

letters to the young women in the stores
and factories, the idea being to reach
especially those sway from home. Guests

who wish to register for the dinner
should do so before tomorrow noon. The

A feature ' of the Association which is
to be emphasized during the coming
year will be the bringing together of the
members for social Intercourse. The at
tractive new Quarters are well adapted
for this purpose. There are already a
number of clubs among Association mem
bers which have proved popular. One
social event for members will be given
each month. On these occasions well
known musicians will furnish entertain
ment. Lectures will also be given from
time to time.
Ijtst year a number of Interesting en
tertainments were given by residents of

slides In colors. Mrs. Helen Ladd Cor
bett also contributed an entertainment
with a phonograph reproducing the voices
of celebrated artists. Mrs. Frank Swan
ton gave readings from Shakespeare's
plays that were much appreciated. An
effort will be made to have these enter
tainments repeated during the coming
Winter.
Members will be permitted to use the
Association rooms for the entertainment
of their friends, provided they are not
already in iwe.
WILL TAKE UP FRANCHISE
COCNCTL TO HOLD ADJOURNED
MEETING THIS MORNING.
Blanket Application of Streetcar
Company to Be Considered.
Outcome Important.
The City Council will meet in adjourned
session at 8:30 o'clock this morning to
resume consideration of a blanket fran
chise, covering about extensions and
new lines, sought by the Portland Rail
way, Light Power Company. It ta ex
pected that this meeting will develop a
big struggle between opposing factions
In the Council, when the matter of in
serting provisions for the public good
cornea up. Councilman Kellaher and
others, following out the expressed wish
of Mayor Lane, embodied in a veto mes
sage last Saturday, will endeavor to in
corporate into ail of these franchises a
common-user clause, a provision regulat
ing the fares and the number of cars
to be operated over the new lines. Other
Councilmen. believing that the company
will not accept grants containing these
terms, will fight the attempt.
In view of the fact that threats have
already been made by people interested
in the lines under contemplation by the
company to apply the referendum to the
franchises unless they are all stringent in
their terms as to the public safety and
contain all the provisions embodied In a
recent franchise given the United Rail
ways Company and the further fact that
Mayor Lane has virtually served notice
that he will veto the franchises unless
they are "properly guarded." it looks as
though a very difficult firoblem confronts

the company. If the referendum should
be applied. It would be an appeal from
the City Council's action, and might re
sult in defeating the granting of the
franchises. In such an event the com
pany's object would be thwarted and the
people who wish new lines would have
to go without them.
The far-reaching effect of applying the
referendum, should it result in blocking
the extensions, is easily seen when It is
understood that it would make it impos
sible to construct a line to the Swift
packing plant, on the lower peninsula.
That proposed extension Is one of the
most Important of any under contempla
tion by the company. It is one of the
number included In the blanket franchise
now under consideration.
