"Model" Ordinance liars All, Even
Owners. Front Glnmllls Sunday.
Many Are 'Disappointed.
I The uaual crowda that congregate In
front of saloon doors Sunday at niia
niBht. were on hand last night as usual.
They did not know tnat the new -model
license" ordinance went Into effect Sat
urday and that saloons must now re
main closed from 11 o"clock Saturday
rlsjht until t o'clock Monday morning.
W hen the full Import of thla new ordi
nance dawned upon tha atreet aaaem
biagea few expression a favored the
measure.
The crowda In front of the aaloone
at midnight waiting In vain for the
doora to open were not the only onee
disgruntled. The new ,law forblda
everyone proprietors, bartenders and
even "swampers" from entering; the
saloona during the closed period, speci
fying that ealoons must remain cloaed.
Saturday a number of saloon-keepere
who read the new ordinance called the
police station by telephone or visited
headquarters In person to ask permis
sion to straighten their booka. clean
up and d odd Jobs alwaya left for
Sunday. Chief of Police Cox advlaed
thera all to atay out of their places of
business until -the City Attorney glvea
an. opinion on the application of the
ordinance eo far aa It pertalna to sa
loon men entering their own placea of
bualnesa on Sunday and during the
closed period for purpoaea other than
aelllng liquor.
The nrat arrest under the new or
dinance waa that of Fred Crola
aanu a ealoonkeeper of 134 Front street,
who was apprehended by Patrolman

Sunday. The officer reported that

the change. Prior to the effectiveness
of the new ordinance. Punday aalea
were proaecuted under a atatute which I
provided a fine or not to eaceea t.o.
Ita effect waa nugatory, aa a ealoon
keeper doing a thriving buaietess could
pay the fin and still be ahead. The
model provldea Increasing penalties for
repeated offenses, with an automatlo
revocation of license upon the third
conviction.
Kvery police officer baa been prfl
Tided with a copy of the enactment,
which la quite bulky, and has been In
structed to familiarise himself with Its
provisions and serve notice upon those
on his beat who are affected by Ita
terms.
The only violation of the clause In
the new -model liquor law- relative to
keeping the aaloona closed between
the hours of mldnlarht and 1 A. M- on
Monday morning was In tha case of
Gus Coltors. proprietor of a Greek sa
loon at 174 Iavla atreet. Police Ser

SUN DAT dinners In Portland board-ing-housea
yeeterday were differ
ent. Bigger portions of every
thing wer set before the boarders:
chickens were stripped of their wings
and necks before they were placed on
the tables and the old stand-by prune
dessert gave way to light custard, ice
cream, cake, puddings and plea. Board
ers rubbed their eyea to awaken from
what aeeemed to be a dream of garn
ished meats, heaping side-dishes and
choice selections of delicacies. But
they ate and ate they didn't ask ques
tions for tear the repart would vanish
like a mirage on the deaert.
It was no vision. The dinner was
real, and the boarders, well-fed. hunted
secluded corners after the meal to dis
cuss It and try to solve the mystery.
Something; had happened; the land
lady was dressed In her best, and asked
each boarder, smilingly, to have more.
Some of the more timid boarders act
ually became frightened: others were
superstitious, but all agreed that an
extraordinary Incident was responsible
for the change of diet.
Diner Discovers Caoe.
When boarders of one house began
comparing notea with boarders of other
houses, astonishment almost broke the
strands of reason and deep mystery

BLOSSER IS VISITED
Man Who Tried to Loot Bank
at Sellwood Has Friends.
PAROLE WILL BE SOUGHT
Prominent Persons Go to City Jail
to See Prisoner Held for Crime
and Declare His Act Not That
of Hardened Wrongdoer.
Solicitous friends of Ralph Blosser,
under arrest for a confessed attempt
to loot the Sellwood Bank, visited the
City Jail at all hours yesterday with
requests to see or minister to the pris-.
oner. It was apparent that the new
of his predicament had aroused the
keenest Interest and sympathy among
the many reputable people who knew
and respected him.
Among the visitors was Rev. William
Hiram Foulkes, whose Interest was in
voked by members of his congregation,
friends of the prisoner. The clergy
man was closeted with the prisoner
for a considerable time.
Late in the afternoon Blosser's aged
mother and two sisters, carrying his
infant child, arrived at the Jail and
spent a half hour with the prisoner.
Much pressure will be brought to
bear to secure a parole for the ac
cused, weight being placed upon hia
previous good character, the recent
tragedy in his family, the fact that he
got nothing by his attempts, though
a more hardened criminal would have
succeeded, and that he virtually ac
cused himself when the officers had
but a shadowy case against him.
"Just two young- innocents trying to
live luxuriously on a meager Income
and not appreciating the value of
money," Is the way that the friends
of Blosser explain his misstep. All
scout the belief that Mrs. Blosser had
any share in the plot, and say that
grief at the fall of her husband was
the cause of her death.
Both the young people were well
connected. Blosser was originally of

KEFEREXDCM OX APPROPRIA
TION'S REP CDIATED.
Members of Evening Star Declare
Sentiment or State Organiza
tion Is Misrepresented.
That the referendum on the appro
priations for the Oregon Agricultural
College and the State University, - for
which petitions are now being circu
lated, is wrong and injurious to the
state Is the sentiment of vigorous reso
lutions passed by Evening Star Grange
Saturday afternoon at a meeting- in the
Section road halL The resolutions con
demn in strong terms the assertion
made by promoters of the referendum
that it is a Grange meeting and
backed by the State College, and it was
declared at the meeting that the mem
bers in general are against the refer
endum. J. J. Johnson and others spoke on the
subject. All said the referendum was
wrong and could result only in doing
the educational Interests of the whole
state great harm and bringing them
Into disrepute with many newcomers.
It was the sentiment of Evening- Star
Grange, with a membership of 300, that
while some members of the Grange In
the state may favor the referendum,
yet the great body of the membership
are against any measure ' which will
hamper or injure the two state lnsti-
tU"So1far as we know." said Miss Will
da Buckman. lecturer, not a single
Grange in the state has Indorsed the
referendum, and we believe that the
order as a whole does not support the
movement. The commercial and edu
cational interests of the state require
that our state institutions be not crip
pled aa proposed."
