TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1921 It m Revocation of Borrelli Li . cense Held Justified. COUNCILMEN DEFEND ACTS Charge of Discrimination on Part of Commissioners Denied in Suit . Brought for Injunction. Indignant denial that there was on Just discrimination shown in the rev ocation of the soft drink license of the shop of Frank and Tony Borelil and Joe Felice. 255 Second street, Uecember 21. was voiced by City Com missioners Jlaim, Barbur, Bigelo and Pier, called to testify yesterday In the injunction suit brought by the soft drink vendors to hold up the revocation orcicr. Testimony on both sides was given due consideration and the decision of the councilmen was entirely free from lias, they testified. Argument be tween Lionel Mackay. deputy city attorney, and A. M. Crawford, coun sclf for the plaintiffs in the action, concluded at 5:30 last night and the case was taken under advisement by Circuit Judge Bingham of Salem, sitting In Portland. A decision is ex pected today. In 66 other establish ments where soft drink licenses wer revoked because of convincing evi dence of the sale of intoxicants, in terest is centered on the outcome of the Borelli action, which, is, in 4 sense, a test case. The act of revoking the license was well within the power of the city authorities, ruled Presiding Circuit Judge Kavanaugh recently In the same case, and the only question be fore Judge Bingham was whether there was fraud present or abuse of discretion. Two Ameriraa Legloa Men. Far from being prejudiced against the defendants. Commissioner Mann asserted that he was disposed to look upon their case favorably, two of the young men being American Legion members with good war records. But when all the evidence had been heard, ho aserted. he had no option but to vote for the refusal of the soft drink permission to the Borelli establish ment. Patrolmen Huntington and Kussell it was said, had taken men from the place so intoxicated they could hardly stand, and bottles which had contained moonshine were dis covered m the establishment. Allegations of the plaintiffs that there had been conclusive evidence of a conspiracy between the policemen nd rival soft dr'rk stablishments cross the street were denied by the commissioners, as also was the charge that there was evidence to prove that the police had "planted" the empty moonshine bottles behind a phono graph in the shop. Alleged Threat Denied. It was denied that Commissioner Barbur had remarked that the estab lishment would "get the ax" regard less of evidence which might be pro duced. Deputy City Attorney Mackay quoted considerable law to show that courts have held it an administrative right to revoke such a license, even without notice or hearing, but said that the city did not go that far, as it had not only given notice but had afforded the owners of the place a fair and impartial hearing before ac tion was taken against them. He asserted that under the law the court could not interfere with the commissioners' order through a dif ferent interpretation of the weight of evidence because of which it was made, but that the judge only could set aside the order in case fraud, bias or abuse of discretion appeared.

The little comedy deals with the life of an aged ex-minstrel and his grand daughter in the home of a brother who masquerades as a pillar of the church while his heart Macks human kindness. The skit has plenty of touching drama, with amusing lines and humorous situations. Gillano and Marguerite are a clever pair with marked musical ability.

Bcrtillon System Will Be Used to Identify Old Offenders Who Are Xot Recognized. In an effort to sfit real criminals from the numbers of petty offenders who dally pass through the hands of the police, all vagrants, disorderly women and drug addicts are being finger-printed. The Innovation was made a part of police routine last Monday with the approval of Chief Jenkins. The finger prints, which are the mcst positive means of identification known to the police, are then taken to the Bertillon room, where J. M. Hunter. Bertillon expert, checks them with finger-prints of criminals, which he receives from all parts of the coun try, and which he reads as easily as the ordinary person reads a printed word. All of these "vagrant" finger prints are to be kept in a separate file. Change of Identity and an alias will be useless, as within five minutes from the time a man is "printed" the Bertillon expert will telephone com plete particulars, providing the man's print already has been filed with him. It is said that Portland is the first city in the country to apply the Ber tillon system to its method of han- hdling minor offenders. The innova tion did not come through the recent "shakeups," but through the desire of one of the police for finger-prints witL which to investigate a suspected criminal. When this man's finger prints were taken and checked by Hunter, it was found that he was an old offender. None of the police rec ognized him, however, and he was using an assumed name. The finger-print system will be particularly useful in the identifica tion of deserters from the army or navy, as the government has prints of every man in the service.

"Tne Marriage Pro posal" is a Russian play by Anton Tchsckov, whose plot centers around the acceptance of a proposal by a temperamental heroine, who gives every sign of great unhappiness for her future husband. "Ryland," an English play by Gcodman and Ste vens, has its scene laid in a prison cell.
