NUMEROUS QUESTIONS UP Series of Resolutions Given Consid eration, Affecting Trade and Re lation Between Wholesale and Retail Dealers. Stormy scenes, frayed tempers and a split-up In the convention are worrying- the officers of the National Asso ciation of Retail Grocers, which held its third day's session yesterday. On sec tional lines. East and West, the as sociation has divided. The Easterners are called stubborn by the Westerners and neither is willing to concede an Inch in the fight for supremacy of the convention. As a matter of fact, the division is about even. With all the delegates it can throw on the floor, the Pacific Coast Association is thought to have a little the advantage. But Ohio alone votes 53 delegates solid and the sight of these men standing together with followers scattered throughout the hall makes a showing of great strength when the Easterners vote together. After a stormy session J. R. New berry, president of the Pacific Coast Association, proposed that J. K. Merry man, of Chicago, attorney for the N. K. Fairbanks Company, be permitted to attend the conference and speak after the morning recess. Many objections were made. Mr. Newberry said if the convention wished the manufacturers to support the retail men in their fight for "fixed prices," they must be pre pared to allow the manufacturer to make a statement. On a close vote Mr. Merryman was permitted the floor. Fixed Prices on Coast. Mr. Merryman told with some pains the efforts his company was taking on the Pacific Coast where he said it had established fixed prices. He told of the formation of the plan on the Coast generally and that the concern would extend It to the East if the re tail merchants would give their sup port. Mr. Merryman sat down amid long and continuous applause. He left the room and several speakers rose to pro pose a vote of thanks, among them Secretary J. Green. Mr. Green's re marks were plainly not to the taste of the Missouri and Ohio delegates, who hissed repeatedly. Several rose to sec ond the vote of thanks, and then W. A. Horn, of Chicago, rose and made a vit riolic attack on the Fairbanks company, its methods and its representative. He said that at New York he had hoard the same epeaker advocate an entirely different policy, and charged him with endeavoring to obtain free advertising. C. E. Coon, of Washington, thought Mr. Horn's action ungracious, and spoke in favor of the motion. President Kramer called for the vote, and declared the motion passed. A rising vote was then called for. and with the two Eastern delegations standing solid the motion was declared lost by a narrow minority. Later in the afternoon L. F. Padberg, candidate for president, told W. A. Cook, leader of the Ohio delegation, that he did not believe he was a grocer. Cook Makes Heated Reply. "You Well, you don't know what you are talking about," replied Mr. Cook. "I certainly am a grocer, and not saloon man at that, either." This, remark was directed against Mr. Padberg. intending to Intimate that the latter , is paying greater attention to wines and liquors in his store, than to the grocery end. The trouble arose because while Mr. Taiiberg was speaking Mr. Cook rose to a point of order. He said Mr. Padberg was speaking over the time allowed, and the point of order was acknowledged by the chair. Waiting his next opportunity to speak, Mr. Padberg said Mr. Cook was not interested in the grocery business any longer, having left it some time ago. Thomas P. Sullivan led a debate on the question. "Shall we Support the Re peal of the Bankruptcy Act?" Mr. Greddes, of La Grande, Or., spoke on a bankrupt being placed In an Important position by a railroad, which was his reason for believing the bankruptcy act required repealing. After some desultory discussion a motion was passed advocating that the association take action with Congress in an endeavor to secure repeal of the law. Resolutions Are Taken l'p. The afternoon was mainly taken up with consideration of various resolutions recommended by the committee on reso lutions. A summary of these resolutions, with the action thereon, follows: A resolution asking Congress to appoint an arbitration committee on strikes to pro tect the retailer carrying goods that may be manufactured by Arms having a strike. LAld on table. A resolution against a tax on any food product. Adopted. A resolution to remove butter tax. Re jected. A resolut.un condemning premium with cereals. Adopted indorsing bill In Congress. No. 5470, a res olution was adopted against misleadlna ad vertising. A waterway proposed from Chicago to St Louis and New Orleans was condemned in resolution form. A resolution opposing the manufacturer distributing cards redeemable bv themselves as tending to over-stocking. Adopted Premium schemes of all sorts were, op posed by another adopted resolution A resolution dealing with the cost of liv ing ard favoring manufacturers who allowed grocers at least per cent profit was ta bled. A resolution against Increased freight rates was tabled. A resolution was carried Indorsing Sena tor Gore's defense of the retailer against letng a l -l I er. Favorinc minimum prices for manufac turer. .Tiber, retailer and consumer and against placing the price on the packet a resolution was carried. Elect Delegate to England. Several other unimportant resolutions came up and the discussion got more heated as the afternoon progressed Questions were asked regarding the polni of certain delegates in making rambling remarks. Frank Connolly found it al most impossible to raise enthusiasm for a motion appointing Secretary Green aa official delegate to the international con vention of weights and measures to be held in August at Oxford, England. The motion was passed and the convention adjourned before Mr. Green had time to voice his thanks. The appointment Is directly a reward for Mr. Green's faith rul service to the association. He Is ex ceptionally popular with certain delega tions and by courtesy the appointment was unanimous. Turing the afternoon the ladies of the party were entertained by the Egg-O-See Company by an automobile trip around the city. The autos formed in pro cession on Sixth street, 18 strong r.Th, Pnttlv of the Western Cereal Company gave a dinner to a num Ml ber of the delegates and a reception was ) accoraea tne aeiegates and tne ladles ac companying them at the Commercial Club last night by the ' Portland Retail Grocers' Association.

Charged with serving liquor at meals without a city license, I. A. Adams, a res taurant keeper, was arrested last night by officers and taken to police headquar ters, where he gave bond for appearance this morning In the Municipal Court. Adams' place is located at 120 Killings worth avenue, and Is in a "dry' precinct. It is very probable that he will be prosecuted by state authorities on the ground of violating the local option law say the officers. ' Captain Moore, of the police first re lief, has given all of the men under his authority Instructions to keep a sharp watch on restaurants which have not taken out a license under the license law passed and approved two weeks ago governing the sale of liquors in pub lic eating houses. Adams stated that he was under the Impression that it was permissible to sell Intoxicants with meals without a license. Engineer Badly Burned. VANCOUVER, Wash.. June 4. (Spe cial.)

SULLIVAN'S CHANCES BEST Chicago Man Expected to Head Or ganization, as Padberg Has Thrown Away Chance by Intemperate Remarks. Because H. W. Schwab, National treas urer, declines to receive the presidential nomination. Thomas P. Sullivan, of Chi cago, may be given both nomination and ratification at the meeting this afternoon of the National Association of Retail Grocers. Mr. Sullivan is not a strong candidate, but after L. F. Padbergs stormy scene yesterday afternoon on the convention floor, even the Missourians admit that the St. Louis man's chances are very slim. Mr. Padberg permitted his temper to get the better of him, and the suggestion of W. A. Cook that he was a saloon man has not helped his chances. There are three men in the conference by whom the selection of the nominee for the presidential chair will be made. One of these Is J. R. Newberry, of San Fran cisco, millionaire grocer. The other two are W. H. Cook, of Springfield, Ohio, and E. G. Ashley, also of Ohio. Mr. Newberry has been strong for Mr. Schwab, and to secure his election formed yesterday the Pacific Coast Association, including in the association Nevada, Wy oming, Idaho, British Columbia, Colorado Texas and Utah. With this combined vote he believed he could offset the Mis souri men. who have shown a. tendency to work with the Ohio delegation. This alliance very far from suits Mr. New berry"s ideas, for the big grocer has tried hard to make himself the leading spirit oi me convention. According to many delegates he already fancies himself the dominating factor. Try to Down Newberry. This has not appealed to the big Ohio delegation bosses, and the flat has gone forth to down ,Mr. Newberry. It was thought this could be done by the election of Mr. Padberg. but Padberg's weakness developed yesterday afternoon and the Padberg election for president was post poned indefinitely. The Ohio delegates secured passage of a rule that the voting of all delegates must be announced by the leader of the delegation. By this means defection from the ranks by personal predilection has been stopped. At a late hour last night the Ohio crowd received the word to vote for Mr. Sullivan, but even now if a stronger candidate could be discovered they would drop the Chicago Iman. Pressure Is being put on Mr. Kramer to make a statement. But Mr. Kramer wants to sit on the fence. He doesn't oare much about the presidency anyway, but he would think It rather a joke to down Mr. Sullivan if he had the chance. Ohio played another little game. She objected because the resolution committee became unwieldy with all the state presi dents In, so President Kramer recon stituted the committee to consist of only seven members, of whom Mr. Ashley was one. This practically gives Ohio entire control. Out' of the 130 accredited voting delegates, Ohio has 62 and Missouri 11. With two small states, Ohio then has the control. Coast Leaders' Hopes Vanish. Of course the delegates are objecting, but it does them little good. Even Mr! Newberry last night admitted weakness when he said: "Mr. Schwab won't stand for election or he'd win out all around Of course Mr. Sullivan is weak, but who else have we got?" With Mr. Schwab In the running Mr Newberry felt certain he would get the support of every delegate except the Missouri and Ohio delegations, and pos sibly even the Ohio delegates would come out for his candidate. With Schwab missing. Mr. Newberry sees his dream of ruling future conventions from the In side passing like a dream. S. U. Kline, of Corvallis, has an nounced he is in the race for the presi SCHWAB A CHANCE FOR 333.SO $25 Sack Suits $26.50 $20 Sack Suits $23.00 $18 Sack Suits $20.50 $15 Sack Suits HATS . .$3. 15 ...$3.15 ....2.65 . . . 185 GATION ON YOUR PART TO BUY. GRANT PHEGLEY, Manager dency. But his chances for election are poor. A. H. Barth seems assured of getting the nomination for director. Denver tried for the convention last year and fell down on it. There is a tendency this year to give the Rocky Mountain state a director, because with Minneapolis in competition she may not get the conven tion in 1911 for her fair. And that Is what Denver is pulling for now. Everyone Is going to sleep about the convention city. After the lively times last year both Denver and Portland kept open house in the best hotels at Boston the staid ways of the Springfield, III.', men are even considered exasperating. Springrfleld is giving around a few book lets and distributing a few buttons, and every delegate is just praying that some town will rise up tonight and beat her to it. Salt Lake might, but that's the only chance. MAYOR 0F SEATTLE On Municipal Lighting. Kellahpr liir.T t. ! i . i. , , , - - '- ocuoiicii wiLii municipal light plant.
