FIRE CHIEF HEARING
SET FOR TOMORROW
Whole Council Is Asked to Be
Present at Proceedings.
DEFINITE CHARGES FILED
Major Opposes Granting of Im
. munfty to Witnesses in Case of
John E. Young.
All members of the city council
have been invited by City Commis
sioner Bigelow to "sit" with him
tomorrow during1 the hearing- to be
accorded John K. Young, fire chief,
asrainst whom serious charges have
been filed.
Members of the council, other than
Commissioner BigeloW, will not be
asked to participate in the decision
to follow the hearing, but will hear
the evidence as the means of learning-
first hand just what transpires.
While Commissioner Bigelow has
stated that he wo'uld grant immunity
to any city official who testified at
the hearing tomorrow. Mayor Baker,
has emphatically declared against
the granting of immunity.
Immunity In Opposed.
"There will be no immunity granted
to any employe in my bureau who
testified at this hearing," declared
Mayor Baker, "and I have told Com
missioner Bigelow that he must not
grant immunity to other employes.
If a man comes to this hearing and
tells the truth he has nothing to fear
and has no need of immunity. On the
other hand, a man who is coming to
this hearing with any other testimony
has no right to immunity, and will
be given no such consideration if I
can prevent it."
Specific charges were filed yester
day with Commissioner Bigelow, as
requested by Wallace McCamant, at
torney for Chief Young. In these
charges, it was stated that the prom
inent hotel mentioned in the original ,
charges where in it was held that
Chief Young was seen intoxicated was
the Multnomah.
The well-known restaurant, out of
which it was charged that Chief
Young was ousted because of bois
terous conduct, was Bab's, and the
hotel in which Chief Young was ac
cused of having participated in a party
in which several girls were involved
was the Clyde, according to the
specifications.
Lineup Is Prepared.
There were no other developments
in the case. The hearing will be held
in the city council chambers and it
is possible that it will consume sev
eral days.
H. M. Tomlinson, assistant city at
tormney, has been assigned by City
Attorney Grant to advise him on legal
questions during the progress of the
hearing. Mr. Tomlinson will not take
an active part in the hearing. Wallace

4 SCEE FROM "FOOL'S PARADISE," SHOWING AT COLUMBIA.
.............
PACKED houses greeted the return
showing of Cecil B. De Mille's
excellent feature, "Fool's Para
dise," at the Columbia theater yes
terday. This photoplay production is
one of the few that are infinitely
worth while. It contains originality;
it Is absorbingly interesting; the
work of the principals, particularly
Dorothy Dalton and Conrad Nagel,
left nothing to be desired; the set
tings were elaborate; the direction
superb in short, it was all that a
real super-feature should be. And
additionally attractive was the splen
did musical Interpretation accorded
the photoplay by the Columbia or
chestra. This feature not only war
rants the return showing, but un
questionably many who saw it pre- J
viously will avail themselves of the'
an American soldier for a French
dancer. Later he meets an American
girl in a Mexican cantina. Her love
he spurns. Through blindness that
comes to him through a foolish prank
of the American girl he is rendered
helpless and is befriended by the
American girl, who marries him un
der his belief that she Is the French
dancer. Through her unselfishness
and self-sacrifice he ultimately re
gains his sight. Realizing the trick
she played on him, and totally dis
regarding what she has done for him,
he casts her aside, annuls the mar
riage and seeks the French dancer
abroad. He finds her, and her subse
quent actions reveal to him that he
has forsaken the real and genuine
for the sham and superficial.
This picture is one that will please
every lover of the. beautiful, the lofty
and artistic in the silent drama, satis
fying even the most blase picture
fan.

The story deals with the love of
Screen Gossip.
Rudolph Valentino, who is proving
a drawing card in "Frivolous Wives"
at the Rivoli this week, returns next
week as the star of "The Four Horse
men of the Apocalypse," which opens
at the Peoples Saturday.
Splendid and unusual scenic effects

of California, 50 miles from the
nearest railway.
In "Orphans of the Storm," which
comes to the Peoples next week,
Dorothy Gish plays a serious role in
a photodrama. This will be the first
in a long time that the young
comedienne has essayed! a role of
such character. The picture was pro
duced by David Wark Griffith.
Following "A virgin Paradise, now
playing at the Blue Mouse theater,

who takes to hitting the rails with a
gang of hobos.
Now the big question that is agitat
ing managers of the various movie
houses is whether Roscoe "Fatty"
Arbuckle can "come back." In Los
Angeles two managers put on his
pictures as tests. The results were
not entirely convincing. At any rate,
Los Angeles is too close to Holly
wood. Unquestionably, picture fans
in Portland and other cities remote
from the film capital will be the
deciding factors.

OUR BUILDING HAS BEEN
SOLD
to the Eg-gert-Young Shoe Co.,
who are to occupy it when our
lease expires December 31 of
this year.
An expression from them
states their wish to take pos
session as soon as convenient
to us, and we desire to assist
them as far as is possible.
It is too early to announce our
plans as to a new location.
However, it is now evident
that in order to use the loca
tion most -desired that our
present liberal space for cloth
ing (which now includes the
entire second floor of our
building, 100 feet long) will,
of necessity, be greatly re
duced in size in our new loca
tion. It will require many weeks of
brisk selling to dispose of our
present large stock of suits
and overcoats, to say nothing
of the many garments now in
process of manufacture for us.
Consequently we are forced to
inaugurate this preliminary
removal sale of our Men's
Clothing.
