PROBLEM
WORRIES SEATTLE
Council Agreement on Policy
Appears Impossible.
NOBODY QUITE SATISFIED
Some Would License, Others Reg
ulate and Still Others Close
All Resorts Permanently.
PL'GKT SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash., June 28. Seattle, like most
other American cities of size, has
its cabarets. As In the case of other
cities, there are cabarets of all
sorts; a few of them catering to the
patronage of the "best" people,
others giving welcome to persons of
noisier Joy-making proclivities, and
still others operating quite frankly
for the benefit of what supercil'ous
folk might call the "rough-neck"
class. In other words, the social
gradations of a cosmopolitan com
munity are fairly reflected in the
character of its cabarets, always
and of course excepting the consid
erable body of people who don't like
cabarets at all.
Seattle's city council has created
a problem for itself in dealing with
the cabarets, and for six months
now the council has been stalling
along without coming appreciably
nearer to a solution of the problem.
Meanwhile the cabarets of all classes
have been running by sufferance,
without the licenses required by city
ordinance, and without assurance
from anyone in authority as to
whether they will be open or closed
next week or the week after.
Councilmen Cannot Agree.
' This situation is due to the fact
that no two of the nine council
members seem able to agree on a
cabaret policy. At least one council
member wants them all closed; at
least one other member wantB them
all open, while the seven other mem
bers are "choosy," with conflicting
preferences for certain cabarets and
prejudices against others. As a re
sult, the council has been postpon
ing action since the first of the year.
The cabaret question has been the
topic of much debate at almost every
council meeting, but final considera
tion o'f any suggestion or plan has
regularly been deferred.
Representatives of the Women's
Christian Temperance union have
been putting much pressure on the
council to close all the cabarets and
deny all applications for renewal of
licenses. The fact appears to be un
disputed that there has been some
use of intoxicating liquors in some
of the cabarets, but whether the in
toxicants were carried in by con
vivial patrons or procured by pur
chase, from cabaret proprietors or
employes is disputed. Cabaret
operators contend that it is im
practical to "frisk" everyone who
enters their places anil to eject
those who may happen to have
brought liquor with them. They
cite the somewhat similar difficul
ties of hotel keepers, apartment
house landlords and office building
managers. Naturally they deny fur
nishing liquor to their natrons.
Dry Element Insistent.
This sort of argument has made
no impression on the elements de
termined to enforce the prohibition
laws and ordinances Since cabarets
are not supposed to run without li
censes, they insist that cabaret own
ers can and should be made re
sponsible for the conduct of all cus
tomers and employes. Inasmuch as
occasional friction with the police
has indicated that cabarets have not
always been kept pure and dry, the
only safe course is to close them
altogether.
At almost every meeting of the
city council so far this year an
array of attorneys representing the
various cabarets has been In at
tendance and the council has lacked
nothing In the way of enlighten
ment on the legal phases of their
right -to existence. Several weeks
ago the council, by resolution, de
cided that no cabaret licenses should
be renewed., but that the chief of
police couia let them run or close
them at his discretion. This plan
didn't suit anybody. Cabaret men
contended that It left them wholly
subject to police prejudice a-ndi pos
sible graft; prohibitionists insisted
that It gave the chief of nollea too
much latitude, and th& chief him
self was unwilling to assume an un-
uwiaea responsiotnty in the matter.
The resolution was soon rescinded
and the discussion of licenses re-
samdw
Three Connies Opes.
This discussion is still going on.
At the council meeting this week it
occupied several hours. All sides of
the matter were again presented,
but actio a was again postponed. An
ordinance is now being prepared by
which the licensing power will be
tumea over to the. chief of nolice.
Mayor Brown has given notice that
ne wiu not approve such an ordi
nance. It looks now as If the conn
cil must finally, some day, accept
ana act on, Its own responsibility.
three courses are open: To license
all the cabarets; segregate the al
leged goats from the sheep, among
.the cabaret own-era and license the
few, or refuse to grant license to
any ana close up all of them.
At this time the cabaret owners
their attorneys and their friendly
patrons are regarding' the two new
women members of the council with
grave apprehension.

over the heavier - weight automo

advantage of the driver of the lit

when they attempted to blockade the

a railroad tunnel, incidentally close
ly followed by a train, the scenes of
which are realistically shown.
There is somewhat of a romance
running through the feature; but
the big element is the -motor race.
It is essentially a racing picture
and an unusually fine one. But
when the cars are checked but at
the Western Union office at the be
ginning of the race, the love ele

a picture, of course, but it assuredly
transported that audience to a land

CURB PUMPS UNDER FIRE
MAYOR OPPOSES ORDINANCE
TO ELIMIN ATE PLANTS.
Executive Holds That Ban Would
Be Discriminatory In Favor of
Big Oil Concerns.
The ban proposed on all gasoline
and oil filline' numos located on
curbs within the restricted district
of Portland will not be applied by
the city council, at least until fur

with renrfispntatlvps rf nrmi.,.

Mayor Baker opposed it on the !
grouna mat it was discriminatory
in favor of a number of large oil
corporations. The mayor held that
each application for a curb pump
should be handled on its own merits
in the same manner as applications
for other permits are handled by
the council.' Commissioner Barbur
presented letters from public offi
cials of a number of Pacific coast
cities in which restrictions have
been .imposed on gasoline curb
pumps.
The proposed ordinance was pre
pared by Captain Lewis, in charge
of the traffic division of the police
bureau, and City Engineer Laur
gaard. It is maintained by the pro
ponents of the ordinance that the
ban on the curb pumps would re
move one of the present serious ob
structions to traffic.
James H. Cassell, secretary of the
Portland Automotive association,
argued against the ordinance, hold
ing that the pumps were not a
menace to traffic, but the serious
problem vac the ever-increasing in
gress and egress to the gasoline
filling stations located on various
corner lots throughout -Jthe city.
The ordinance, at the suggestion
of Commissioner Bigelow, was re
ferred to the traffic committee of
the council, and arrangements will
be made to hold conferences with
i those opposed to its passage before
any recommendation will be made
to the council as to its final dis
position. 20 LINCOLN PLAYS FAIL
Only Drama on Emancipator to
Succeed Is by Englishman.
The records, incomplete in detail,
show that something more than 20
plays have been written about
Abraham Lincoln. Of them all, only
one, that by John Drinkwater, which
is to be at the Heilig next week,
opening Monday, has won its public.
And, strange as It 'may seem, the
success 'as first found In an alien
land, England, and then repeated in
Lincoln's own land. In Drinljwater'e
play Lincoln is the central charac
ter, and as played by the American,
Frank McGlynn, is an outstanding
figure. In other plays he is brought
in Dy inference or as a supporting
character and even then his grip on
human imagination has almost al
ways been made otear.
Of those 20 plays., that not one
has survived Is due to the work
men, not the material. The civil
war is today about a right perspec
tive for literary treatment. Drink
water, in England, had the vision a
little sooner and less blurred, so
that he produced a great play.
FREE METHODISTS MEET
Annual Conference, of Oregon
District Opens at The Dalles.
THE DALLES, Or., June 28.
(Special.) About 20 lay delegates
and 30 ministers were in attend
ance this afternoon at the opening
session of the 27th annual confer
ence of the Free Methodist church,
Oregon district. Bishop Clark of
Rome, N. Y., presided. Business ses
sions will be held daily, the con
ference extending through to Sun

day and Sunday will be devoted to
reports on the work of the Women's
Foreign Missionary society, of which
Mrs. W. IvI. Coffey of Forest Grove

Mrs. Evelyn Snow has been

board. Recently she figured in con

note that the ministers are taking
up. the fight against destructive
censorship. Intelligent censorship is
acceptable so long as the theory is
entertained that we are all dumb
bells and cannot think for ourselves
but must be "protected." But de

KAIL STRIKE WOULD AFFECT
1200 PORTLAND WORKERS.

Proposed Walkout.
s '
Should the threatened 'strike of
shopmen become a reality, approxi
mately 1200 men employed in Port
land will be directly affected, ac
cording to estimates made by rail
road officials. This number of men
would be called upon by their broth
erhoods to leave their jobs and
walk out as a refusal to abide by
the railroad labor board's decision.
The Southern Pacific company has
450 men in ' Portland and 400
throughout the state who would re
ceive strike orders. The Union Pa
cific has approximately the same
numbers in the city and the state
and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
has about 400 in Portland and Van
couver. "Many of these men will not abide
by. the orders of their leaders in
grease a strike is called," said a rail-
road official yesterday. "The men.
for the most part, realize that they
are not striking against the rail
roads, but against the railroad labor
board, which is a government body."
There is doubt in the minds of the
local officials whether the strike
ever will be called, and as a conse
quence no great preparations are
being made to meet a possible walk
out. "The leaders of the brotherhoods,
