about it: It cost Mr. Bruner 11.75 to send
the money and message. '
HE'S NEW at the business, at least
he saya he is, and very enthusiastic,
the latter qualification probably being the
reason he was employed as press agent
for the Rose Stahl Company. His cards
announce "Business Manager," Frank V.
Bruner. business manager. Rose Stahl
Company, but that's only euphemism.
Mr. Bruner. press agent, arrived at
Portland Friday night and wondered -how
he was going to "land" a story. It was
his first trip to Portland, which being so
far removed from the scene of real press
agent activity, he thought, ought to be
good for most any kind of yarn he
wanted. But what particular kind of
yarn he should select from his grlpful
he was unable to decide at the time.
It was not until Saturday morning that
he saw the main chance and his decision
was immediate. At breakfast he read
of the bid for notoriety of "The Jungle's"
muckrake author. The story from San
Francisco of how Mr. Sinclair, who was
being overlooked by a great and anxious
public, had found the spotlight by re
fusing to pay a bill of 25 cents at the
St. Francis Hotel for a shredded wheat
biscuit, appealed to him.
Mr. Bruner recognized It instantly for
a press-agent story, and saw how he
himself might profit, or rather his show
might profit, by taking advantage of the
Socialist author's vulgarity. Leaving his
breakfast unfinished, he rushed to a tele
graph office and telegraphed the man
ager of the hotel 25 cents, signing the
name of Rose tahl, and announcing that
she was forwarding the money to pay for
Mr. Sinclair's blscvlt. -----His
stunt was a clever one, and lie
MOUNT TABOR UP IN ARMS
Mass Meeting Called to Protest
Against Action oi Council.
At Mount Tabor there Is great disap
pointment over -the action of the City
Couhcil In cutting out the appropriation
for the erection and installation of an
engine-house and engine company on
Francis avenue for protection of that
district. A mass meeting of Mount
Tabor, South Mount Tabor and Center
Addition people .for next Tuesday night,
December 15. will be held at Woodmen
hall on West avenue, under the auspices
of the Mount Tabor Push Club to take
action in the matter. 3. L. N. Oilman,
president of the Push Club, will preside.
Chief Campbell recommended the engine-house
and engine company at a
point on Francis avenue, near the Base
Line road, from' which point it could
cover a wide district, including Center
Addition. North and South Mount Tabor
and the district toward Suhnyside.

Cafes That Serve Drinks With Meals
to Have Court Decision on
Question.
Complaints against the proprietors of
several of the prominent restaurants of
the city will be filed In the Municipal
Court tomorrow by Deputy City Attor
ney Tomlinson. charging a violation of
the city ordinance which requires the
payment of an annual license of $300
by all combination restaurant-saloons
that serve drinks with meals. Mr.
Tomlinsop last night refused to indi
cate the resorts against which com
plaints will be preferred, but the of
fending restaurants are said to include
the Louvre, Turn Halle. Hof Brau and
Quelle. ' .
The-proposed prosecutions will.be
based on the ordinance that was adopt
ed by the people at the municipal elea
tlon In June. 1!07. by which the. annual
license of saloons was fixed at J800 and
a yearly license of $300 was assessed
against restaurants that served drinks
with meals. In February last the same
ordinance was passed by the City Coun
cil in order to correct a defect that
was thought to have attended the sub
mission of the ordinance to a vote of
the electors In the preceding June elec
tion. Following the passage of the Cellars
ordinance a few weeks ago these restaurant-saloons
applied to the liquor
license committee of the Council for a
license permitting them to dispense li
quor with their meals. But In every
Instance these applications were reject
ed, and until they had been approved
by the liquor license committee the
Council wits powerless to authorize the
Issuance by tr.e city auunui ui
sired licenses.
In taking this attitude it s supposed
to be the purpose of the members of
the liquor license committee to make
the Cellars ordinance so generally ob
noxious that the public will soon de
mand its repeal. That such Is the dis
position of the committee Is believed
to be the case from the fact that it is
known that at a special meeting of this
committee tomorrow an attempt will
be made to have a majority of the
members indorse a recommendation to
the Council to the effect that the res
taurant liquor license of $300 be re
pealed. Cnderwcar sale. McAll. n McDonnell.
