THE MAYOR SAYS NOTHING
BUT HD POINTS TO HIS VETO IS RC
PLY TO MULKEY.
Meat Ordinance, It Says, "Would Tend
to Create a'MonopoIr nd Is
Otherwise Objectionable.
The charge of Councilman Mulkey that
Mayor Rowe had misunderstood the tenor
of the ordinance governing the Inspection
of meat was received v,ith surprise by
other Councllmen and by the Mayor Wm
self. Asked about the matter, Mayor
Howe said he had nothing .to say except
that the sections of the ordinance to
which lie objected and his veto were be
fore the public, and It was for them to
consider, '
Section 3 of the ordinance, particularly
objected to by the Mayor, is as follows:
"Sec 3. It shall be unlawful for -any
person t.o engage in the killing, picking,
dressing or otherwise preparing of any
animal ifor human food within the cor-,
porate limits of the City of PosUand, or
to sell or offer for sale or exchange or
offer for exchange any such animal or
part thereof, without license so to do, but
the license provision of this ordinance
shall not apply to retail butchers or to
any of the persons enumerated in this
section, provided such person or persons
have been subjected or volutarily submit
to the regulations. Inspections, tests, ex
aminations or prohibitions of the proper
officer or officers of the Bureau of Animdl
Industry of the Department of Agricul
ture of the United States Government
concerning the maintenance, the place of
Wiling, dressing, picking or otherwise
preparing or dressing of the meat supply
of the City of Portland, or any part there
of, or the killing, dressing, packing or
otherwise preparing of animals fit for
human food supply, and provided 6uch
persons abide by the regulations as by
this ordinance required, but said tests,
Inspections, regulations or prohibitions
must be properly evidenced by proper
marks of Inspection, certifying to the
proper maintenance or other proper and
reasonable marks of Identification or au
thentication. "Retail 'butchers, as mentioned In this
section, shall be understood to mean any
person who deals in meat supply within
the City of Portland, and who does not
kill any of the animals of such supply.
,and who obtains his supply from a per
son whose meat supply is regularly sub
jected to the terms and provisions of this
ordinance. Nothing In this section con
tained shall prohibit the examination or
inspection or regulation of the sale or ex
change or of the prohibition of the sale
or exchange of said meat supply, or limit
the moans of controlling or regulating
the transportation of the same from the
time it has been properly inspected until
the time it comes into the hands of the
retail butchers and up to and Including
the time it is sold, offered for sale, ex
changed or offered for exchange, and it
is further provided that at all times the
meat supply of the city shall be subject
to reasona"blo inspection and examination
to determine if such supply or any part
thereof is , unwholesome or unhealthful
for human 'food, and if such meat supply
or any portion thereof Is unwholesome or
unhealthful, even if previously Inspected,
, the sale or exchange thereof shall bo
prohibited, and any person knowingly of
fering such meat for sale or exchange
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof In the Municipal
Court shall be subject to fine or Impris
onment as hereinafter provided, and in
any eent whatsoever unhealthful or un
wholesome meat shall be destroyed."
The veto communication of the Mayor
is. In part, as follows:
"I appreciate the importance of meat
and food Inspection In this olty, and I re
gret that the ordinance as passed Is in
such form and'- contains certain provis
ions which compel me to withhold my
approval. In the first place the ordi
nance as it is contains a number of blanks
which would render it ineffective. It was
evidently the purpose of those who draft
ed the ordinance that it should be passed
subsequent to the passage of an ordi
nance providing for the inspection of
milk, and which is now pending before
your honorable body. This ordinance is
so dependent upon the milk ordinance re
ferred to that I bellove it would be use
less if not considered in conjunction
therewith.
"I am also convinced that section 3 of
said ordinance would at least have a
tendency to make a monopoly of the meat
supply of the city, and if so would neces
sarily increase the cost of one of the most
essential of food products. A very slight
Increase in the price of such An article
easjly becomes a tax which is greater
and more burdensome than any levy for
governmental purposes. Such an Increase
in the price of a commodity accrues en
tirely to Individuals and thereby fosters
and protects an evil which It should be
the purpose of law and government to
control or destroy.
"The conditions of the ordinance would
operate to the detriment of tho farmer
and producer. It depreciates the value of
his products and lays restrictions upon
him which would often deny him a mar
ket I am most heartily in favor of meat
and food inspection, but the ordinance
under consideration is not sufficiently in
the Interest of producers and consumers,
and I. fherefore, return such ordinance
without my approval."

BOYS HOLD UP GROCER.
They Pointed Pistol at Mrs. Boscamp
at East Wcshinarton-Street Store.
Three boys, well known in the neighbor
hood, undertook to hold up the wife of A.
Ii. Boscamp, grocer, on East Washington
and East Ninth streets, a few evenings
ago. Mrs. Boscamp was inside looking
after the store At the time, and her hus
band was In the back part of tho building.
Suddenly two largo boys and one small
boy entered the front door. One of the
larger boys walked to tho counter and
asked for some cookies. Before Mrs. Bos
camp could answer and even turn around
the j'oungstcr presented a toy pistol to
her head and intimated that there was
no money to pay with.
A loaded pistol Is- kept under the coun
ter within reach. As Mrs. Boscamp turned
to one side, tho boy got hold of the
loaded pistol from under the counter and
pointed it at her. It was a rather dan
gerous position, as in the hands of the
boy the pistol might be discharged at any
instant. Fortunately, at this moment Mr.
Boscamp entered, and sizing up the sit
uation, deliberately walked up to the boy
and took the pistol away from him. He
then gave the boys- a lecture and said ho
should inform their parents. This ended
tho matter and the boys- went away. No
arrests have been made Mr. Boscamp
felt that as the boys belonged 1n the
neighborhood ho did not care to bring
them into disrepute, and concluded to let
their parents deal with them. Boys in
the neighborhood have been causing a
disturbance recently, and a policeman has
been looking after them, but now, as they
have commenced holding up people with
pistols, some drastic measures will have
to be taken to suppress them.
FARMERS MAY MAKE BID
i
Talking? of Raising $10,000, and Then
Leaning: the Market Block.
It may be, that the farmers of Mujtno
mah and Clackamas nnd surrounding
counties, will club together and make a
bid to lease the Market block for a gen
eral market. P. J. Henneman, of Milwau
kle, a prominent fruitgrower, said "yes
terday that thero was a movement on
foot to organize for this purpose
Mr. Henneman proposes that the farm
ers take up the mattor and among them
selves raise a fund of $10,000 with which
to lease the building and ground. This
money, he said, could be raised in the
form of subscriptions to the stock of a
company to be formed for tho purpose
of conducting the market. He suggests
that the-capltal stock1 of such -a company
be placed at 510.000, and the shares
at ?10 each. Mr. Henneman says that at
present tho farmers were very busy, but
soon would have somo leisure, when they
could give time to taking the matter up.
His Idea is that the farmers should con
trol tho market, and that It should not
pass Into the hands of private parties,
as In tho former case it would be con
ducted mainly In tho interest of those
who would use It most There has been
considerable talk along this Una among
the farmers In Multnomah County for
some tlmo, but whether the matter will
assume concrete form In time to submit
a bid remains to be seen.
BALTIMORE AND OHIO.
One Hundred and Seventj--"N'Ine Bat

to the Baltimore JC; Ohio R, R.
(The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and the
Civil War, 1S61-1865.) It was the first and
most desirable point of vantage coveted
by both the Federal and Confederate
armies. In May, 1S61, tho four Federal
advance columns concentrated at Pax
kersburg, W. Va., Wheeling, W. Va.,
Harper's Ferry, W. Va.,, and at Washing
ton. To retain the advantage, the Feder
al Government established block-bouses
along the railroad from the Monocacy to
the Ohio River, besides forts at Winches
ter. Harper's Ferry, Cumberland, Pied
mont and New Creek (Keyser). The B. &
O. was the base of operations for theFed
eral Army for nearly four years and from
which the Government could not take
advance lino earlier than November, ISM.
The B. & O. was the means of communi
cation between the West and the Army of
the Potomac, and was consequently in a
continual state of siege Harper's Ferry,
the key to the Shenandoah Valley, Urst
famed through the fanatical attempt of
John Brown, in defying the laws and cus
toms of his country, was captured or
recaptured eight times in three years. The
Government Arsenal and armories which
were located there were destroyed by the
Government to prevent their capture One
hundred and seventy-nine battles of
greater or less importance were fought
on or adjacent to tho Baltimore & Ohio
rRallroad, not taking Into consideration
the innumerable skirmishes.

r-
Finser-Xnll Biting:.
London Globe
For a number of years a distinguished
French physician. Dr. Berlllon, has been
making observations pertaining to the
habit of finger-nail biting. The facts
which he'lias gathered show that the habit
Is a result of a diseased nervous system.
Ho examined the oupils in a number of
schools. The habit Is much more preva
lent among girls than among- boys. In
some schools 50 per cent of the girl pupils
had contracted the habit. It was noted
that the nail-biters were the poorest stu
dents. The habit prevails most frequently
between the ages of 22 and. 14.

LITTXEPAGE LOSES COXTEST.
Road Supervisor Hilynrd Is Elected
by Eight Votes.
A recount was had In the County Court
yesterday in the contest of E. J. Little
page against James Hllyard for the posi
tion of Road Supervisor in precinct No.
64, at Troutdole There was only a change
of one vote which Hllyard lost, and he
now has a majority of eight votes instead
of nine, as heretofore The recount gave
Hllyard 123 votes. Llttlepage 115; so tho
latter was defeated. The contest was a
spirited one. and the courtroom was
crowded with people.
John H. Hall, attorney for Hllyard, ar
gued against a recount of the ballots, and
"W. M. Davis and A. R. Mendenhall, at
torneys for Llttlepage said the only way
to determine the dispute was to have a
second count. Judge Cake was of this
opinion, and so ordered.
The inspectldn of the ballots disclosed
the fact that 53 electors missed voting for
Sheriff, County Clerk and other candi
dates on the county ticket. In marking
their ballots voters carelessly covered up
this part of tho ballot with their arms.
This occurred in nil of the precincts In
the county, more or less, and thore were
hundreds of ballots altogether left thus
blank.
Preceding the recount of the ballots, the
attorneys for Llttlepage called witnesses
to prove that the ballots were In the same
condition as when they were returned to
Clerk of the County Court Swetland. In
contest cases It is necessary to show that
the ballots have been deposited In the of
fice arid kept as required by law.
Mr. Swetland testified that for the first
three days tho ballot boxes were not put
in the vault, but were piled up In a cor
ner of the office, and were guarded night
and day.
In answer to a question by Mr. Hall, Mr.
Swetland stated that they were not put
in the vault because there was not room
for them, but when the returns indicated
that the election was close, cars contain
ing records were taken out of the vaults,
and the ballot "boxes were then stored
there, and are still kept In the vault. Clerk
Swetland further explained that tho vault
was carefully watched, and securely
locked at night, and that he carried the
key until after the official count, when ho
surrendered it to his chief deputy.
A. N. Gambell, chief deputy in the office
of the Clerk of the County Court, testi
fied that he received the election returns
In this precinct from Messrs. OUs and
Sleret. They did not understand the law,
and brought the ballots In sealed In an
envelope, instead of placing them In tho
ballot box. The box was opened In their
presence, the "ballots placed in it, and
tho box resealed.
W. A. Storey, Sheriff-elect, testified that
he bad men engaged watching the elec
tion returns until the completion of the
official canvass.

EMPIRE OF SPIES.
It Is n. Hard Matter to Keep Out of
Jail In Turkey.
London Chronicle
Marshal Fuad Pasha, who has just been
exiled to Syria, resided all tho year
Tound for a long time at Kalamlsb, a sub
urb on the Asiatic coast of the Marmora.
Like all prominent men, ho was watched,
but- not very closely. Some months ago,
however, he -removed to town for the
"Winter, and took the house at Stamboul
formerly occupied, by Mahmud Damad
Pasha, the Sultan's fugitive brother-in-law.
This was sufficient to awaken sus
picion, and he was constantly under sur
veillance. The marshal's upright and
loyal nature could not support this, and
after vainly endeavoring to get rid of tho
spies by peaceful means, ho resorted to
extremes, with the result I have already
reported. I am assured that there was no
intention to banish him when he was sum
moned to the palace next morning (Thurs
day), but he delivered such a philippic on
the state of affairs, and said so many
truths that the Sultan, who happened to
be In the next room and overheard him
the marshal was addressing Cashln Bey
In the latter's office decided there and
then to.remove him from Constantinople,
and the decision was at once carried out.
Fuad Pasha is not the only victim of
spies during the last few days. They
have been exceedingly active of late, and
In consequence of their denunciations
there have been numerous domiciliary
searches, even officials occupying some of
the highest positions In the state "being
thus treated. Over 100 persons, mostly
young men, have been exiled to Arabia
and other distant provinces of the em
pire Apropos of spies, in no country and at
no time of the world's history has the
spy system been developed to the point
it has attained in Turkey, today. It is a

Immense amount of money. There ore

counter spies to the fourth or fifth de
gree Their number Is legion, and they
are to be found In all classes of society,
from the highest to the lowest. Besides
the Minister of Police, almost every high
dignitary has his "own service of spies.
These are all rival organizations, and
spend most of their time in spying and
denouncing each other. All prominent
persons are closely watched, and followed
even while shopping, and should they

chango a few words the fact la carefully

parties of five or six for tho purpose of
spending their evenings together. It is
impossible for three or four of them to
sit down at a table In a coffee house
without having a spy at the next. On
such occasions they always speak very
loud, so that everybody "might hear them.
Should a European converse with a Turk,
In the street, a spy will follow them and
try to find out what they are saying.
The result of all this Is that the Turks
avoid ono another's company as much as
possible and whenever they do come to
gether the conversation is on the most
futile subjects and quite childish. Tho
Turkish nation Is growing moro and more
demoralized under the present spy system.

Roman Alphabet In Japan.
Harper's Weekly.
Tho Roman alphabet grows more and
moro in favor with the nations of- the
earth. The latest country to take steps
toward its adoption is Japan. The gov
ernment recently appointed a commission
to draw up a plan whereby Japanese writ
ing may be made to conform to modem
English and French forms. In China
progress in the same direction is report
ed, and missionaries say that the old and
inflexible sign-writing Is sure to go. Ger
many Is rapidly falling into line, and
the number of books printed In Roman
characters increases year by year. In
Russia, however, the individual alphabet
pecultar to that country still shows no
sign of a change the one country whose
literature Is almost inaccessible to the
foreign born student. Hut from a broad
survey it seems inevitable that, eventual
ly the one alphabet the Roman will xulo

REAL ESTATE !S QUIET
STRIKE DPI.I.S THE EDGE OF AX
ACTIVE MARKET.
Lfvely Property Selling: Season Flat
lens Out WLcn Building; Move
ment In Checked.
"Whit promised to be the liveliest property-selling:
season among real estate
dealers of Portland has dwindled Into a
slump, and all on account of the striko
ndvr waged by the building trades unions.
Three months ago, real estate dealers
and architects were enthusiastic over the
most prosperous building epoch In Port
land's history, but the glorious Summer
has become a "Winter of discontent, es
pecially among those who have unim
proved property to sell. As construction
Is almost impossible, and has been so for
Iwo months, house and building construc
tion Is virtually paralyzed, and half-finished
structures may be seen In any part
of the city.
As it is difficult to build, those who
contemplated purchasing residence lots
prefer to hang on to their money and do
their purchasing when conditions guar
antee speedy construction of their homes.
The result of all this is that the real es
tate market has flattened out and the
drafting tables In the architects offices
are crowned with emptiness. There is ab
solutely nothing doing, and those who
desire happy homes would do well to
solve the strike problem, for the Autumn
leaves will soon be flying and the climat
ic conditions will not permit much con
struction during the "Winter months.
No less than 12 largo unfinished build
ings arc awaiting the settlement of tho
strike, while hundreds of unfinished resi
dences are also waiting for tho hammer
and siw of tho carpenter.
"When seen yesterday, a prominent real
estate man said: "Our business Is 'at a
standstill on account of the strike. I do
not mean that the future is not bright, or
that there is not plenty of money with
which to purchase property for buildings,
but I do say that the reil estate market
Is paralyzed. People will not buy when
they can't build, so they keep their money
and await developments. They cannot be
blamed for this, for no man wants a half
flnlshed house to stand for months. Tho
volume of business done by Portland real
estate men during the months, of Jan
uary, February, March and April of this
yoar was double that of the correspond
ing period of 1901, and there was every
reason to believe that the activity mani
fested during those months would have
continued throughout the year had not
this strike upset everything. Until tho
troublo reaches a settlement, business will
continue dull, and It will be some time
before matters attain their normal condition."
To Address Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army will welcome to
their midst Adjutant Garabed, known as
"Joe the Turk," converted in San Francis
co 16 years ago. He has traveled exten
sively in the United States and Europe,
and has been imprisoned 45 times for
street preaching, oncd In Portland a dozen
years ago. He Is an interesting talker,
speaks In many tongues, and has some
ability as a muslcan. He will speak at the
headquarters at 263 Davis between 1 and 2,
at the East Oak-street barracks between
S and 4, and at the First-street headquar
ters between 5 and G.
The Japanese Gardener's Art.
Pearson's Magazine.
A Japanese gardener does not strive
after bright colors; he does not lay out
beds mechanically, or seek to trim the
artificial. His object is to counterfeit a
natural scene as nearly as- possible. Above
all. he strives to eliminate every sign of
his worlc He cheats your eyes into a
loss of ail sense of perspective. By Ju
diciously solectlng his trees and keeping
every object on p. small scale, he can
make you imagine that his garden is very
much lonscr than It is, and somehow he
manages to deceive you as to Its boun
daries by artful arrangements of shrubs
and stone work. He is a past master of
landscape gardening craft.
California OH Man. Here.
J. A. Bunting, who represents extensive
crude oil interests in California, and who
has Just completed a tour of the Eastern
States, Is in the city on his way to San
Francisco. Mr. Bunting, who is traveling
in his private car, says that he noted in
creasing prosperity along the route, and
farmers appeared to be in better condition
than ever. Speaking of crude oil as fuel,
Mr. Bunting said that in time it woull
be adopted by all the railroads. Mr.
Bunting will remain in the city until this
afternoon, when he will leave for California.
