CABARET BAN PUZZLES
MAYOR'S ORDERS MAY EITIiM) TO
SCOPE OF GREAT BREADTH.
SliisrluB by Women May lie Prohibited
In Any Public Place Where Per
sons Eat or Drink.
The meaning of the word "cabaret,"
as applied by Mayor Albee in his an
nouncement that all such are to be
prohibited by an executive order or
by action or the City Commission, if
such is necessary, is the cause of much
speculation. The Mayor says he has
used the word in the sense it is most
generally or popularly known in these
iays a place or a part of a place
where women appear in fancy dress
ana 6ing.
As to just how far the executive
order against such places will go is
not known even by Mayor Albee, it
being his desire to work the proposi
tion out along reasonable lines. He
Hnnounced yesterday that while he has
not definitely settled on the question.
tlie order may be against any woman
or women singing in grills or restau
rents where liquors are served.
Tho subject has been gone into deep
ly by the Mayor and he has conferred
with some of the proprietors of places
where women sing and perform. In
the past the women, in addition to
singing, have walked about among the
guests or the place. This practice was
stopped about the first of the year.
it is expected now that tho singing
will be baired altogether.
Just how far the ban will Teach is
uncertain. It may, however, branch
out to such an extent that women
will not be permitted to sing In any
gnu, restaurant or hotel where the
public is admitted for the purpose of
eating and drinking. The Mayor says
his mind is not fully made up yet
regarding what he will do, it being
his hope that the plan will work itself
out within a day or two by the pro
prietors of the places taking some
voluntary action.
Attorney Hart Makes Objection.
Two crimes, an attempt to extort
oney and an attempt to compel the
Pearson-Page Company to do an act
against Its will, are set forth by At
torney J. N. Hart in a demurrer to the
Indictment recently brought against
Joe Singer, ex-market inspector during
the Rushlight regime. Another ground
of objection to the indictment against
Singer advanced by Attorney Hart is
that the indictment does not directly
and certainly state a crime and that
the act charged Is not set forth as
required by law. The time for bearing
the demurrer has not been set.

CHURCHES CLOSE DOORS
SMALLPOX AT ST. JOHNS IS RE
SPONSIBLE FOR MOVE.
Board of Health Disregarda Order of
Council to Close Schools and
Clash la Expected.
ST. JOHNS, dr., Jan. 26. (Special.)
All the churches of St. Johns were
closed yesterday by agreement of the
pastors not to hold services while there
is smallpox In the town. The churches
will probably remain closed next Sun
day. No public meetings are being
held. However, it is expected that the
schools will remain open to children
who have been vaccinated. Luzana E
Graves, City Physician, stated yester
day that there is no increase in the
humber of smallpox cases and that the
schools will not be closed. She re
ported that the quarantine would be
lifted on five homes, leaving 23 fami
lies under quarantine. About 400
school children have been vaccinated.
The board of health will disregard
the order of the City Council to close
the schools, it was stated today, which
may place the board In conflict with
the Council. A special meeting of the
Council was held Friday night to take
action on the. refusal to close the
i
schools. It was stated at this meet-
ing mat xne uoaocu naa no power to
close the schools, theaters and
churches against the wishes of the
board of health, which Is composed of
Dr. Graves, Mayor Bredeson and Chief
of Police Allen.
It Is announced that an ordinance
will be submitted at the meeting of the
Council Tuesday night repealing 'the
board of health ordinance if the
schools are not closed. No deaths have
occurred from smallpox. The cases are
all mild ones.
ROCK BREAKERS MUST QUIT
City Cannot IMrnlsh Work fop Un
employed 3Inch Longer.
When the unemployed engaged in
breaking rock on Terwilliger boule
vard finish the breaking of 4500 cubic
yards of rock the end of this week. It
is probable the city will have to dis
continue operations there. Announce
ment was made yesterday by those In
charge that 4500 yards of rock Is all
that can be used on the boulevard.
Just what the city will do to furnish
work to the unemployed using the
Gypsy Smith Auditorium is uncertain
The plan of giving work to the unem
ployed which has been in operation
for some time has cost the city $23
183.52,. according to a statement issued
yesterday by City Treasurer Adams.
BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOUND
JULIUS L. MEIER FINDS CONFI
DENCE IS RESTORED.
Value of Good Roads to State as In
vestment Seen In California.
Oregon Urged to Act.
Julius L. Meier, vice-president and
general manager of the Meier & Frank
Company, has just returned from a
month's tour of California and is more
than ever an enthusiast for good roads.
"I am glad to report," said Mr. Meier
yesterday, "that all along the Cantor
nia coast I noticed among business men
and bankers a general restoration of
confidence and a healthy revival of
business activity. Everyone Is looking
forward to and preparing for a big
year. The Fall rains, the first good
rains they have had for three years.
have given the Californians great en
couragement and an Inspiring feeling
of confidence.
"The Panama-Pacific Exposition Is
going to be a wonderful world's fair
and there is no doubt that It will be a
great success and attract tourists from
all over the world.
"As far as Oregon is concerned we,
have the climate and the resources and
all we need to make them fruitful is
good roads. If there is anyone who
doubts the value of good roads to a
state, as an investment, all that he
needs to do Is to go to the California
line and see the great work that is
being done to put their roads In con
dition for the 1915 Exposition.
"We should bend every energy to get
the Pacific Highway completed to the
California line by 1915. If we do not 1
can safely say, from reliable reports
I got in San Francisco from the ex
position authorities, that hundreds of
thousands of tourists who are plan
ning to tour the Coast in 1915 will be
disappointed and several million dol
lars of revenue lost to Oregon."
