nets, none of which had any license
numbers on them. Four he got down
at Smith's l'oitit, and three of them
over in Young's River. He had a
rough time in landing litem in the
hoistrous weather that bat prevailed
for the past 4H hours.

night, after a stay of several dayt in

to make the ladies' nightt a feature
of the Irving Club.
Still Doing Business
The Clatsop Mills are ttlll working
away serenely and methodically on u
big lot of orders, and so far this
month, have turned out 1300 window
and 525 doors per day, and propose
to increase the output in a short
time. Thus it will be seen that they
are on the move despite the general
complaint of stagnation in , business
circles.

Anniversary in the School-
Lincoln's anniversary in the pub
lic schools passed with but very
sliuht observance. In most of the
rooms the teachers set apart a pr
lion of the afternoon for readings .r
quotations pertaining to the martyr
ed president, though no formal exer
cises had been prepared, There teems
to have been an' extraordinary
growth of the Lincoln spirit all over
the country this year, even more no
ticeable than in those years wlicn.lt
was thought by some that the coun
try was doing greater reverence l-i
the memory of Lincoln than to any
other of its dead heroes or beloved
ones. The movement to declare Feb
rnary 12 a holiday seems to be grow
ing and doubtless it will have been
so declared in many of the states
of the union before many years have
passed. ,., ......
It Scared Him
George S. Shannon, who has been
employed in various capacities abou
the city, while walking out to Lip
ley't camp a day or two ago nearly
had a fit of nervous prostration be
cause he discovered that his pocket-
book containing a little cash and
over $500 in certificates of deposit
was gone. He wasn't exactly clear
about the certificates and thought
that to lose them was to lose his
money. He walked back over the
road and looked everywhere fot ihe
lost pocketbook, but without avail.
When he was going to bed that
night the lost hook dropped out of
his boot. When nttemping to put it
back into his pocket it had evidently
fallen down inside Ifls clothing and
dropped into as safe a place as any
one would want. ' ' '
Murderer Hat Escaped
Moucous, the presumed murderer
of the one-legged Greek at Clifton
last Saturday nightr has evidently
made good his escape for the time
being at least. A full week has pass-
Co.
ed since the atrocious crime and
nothing hat been definitely learned
of the man. Unless by chance he is
picked up by the police of some dist
ant city there sccnit no ttrong hope
for hit ultimate capture, (or while he
is almost sure to make hit way to
other Greeks .in one part of the
country or another, they teem to
very seldom make complaint ' about
each other, and this fact may be wit
nessed by the allcirationt of his
countrymen here that Moucous was
twice before a murderer. This only
came out after he had left here under
suspicion of the Clifton crime.
Girls' Baaketball-
A game of, basketball' between tha
girls' team of the High school and
a team made up from the ladies o'
the Athletic Club is scheduled for to
night at the club gymnasium, and it
should prove a very diverting con
test. The High School girls had al-,
ready proven in the Monmouth game
that they can play with vim, while
the girls who will make up the Ath
letic team have high hopes that the
game tonight will be theirs. The
Athletic team will consist of Mary
Gregory', Lois Parker, Mrs. Harry
Flavel, Margaret Taylor and Barbara
Eaken, Mrs, Slreumeyer will be
present as a substitute. A small ad
mission fee will be ch.igcd and it
will doubtless well repay all those
who delight in a game of basketball
to witness this contest for tonight.

AMUSEMENTS
"TAMING OF THE SHREW"
"I have often been asked,".- said
Charles B. Hanford, who appears at
storia Theatre on Wednesday, Feb
ruary 17th, to an interviewer who
recently saw his performance of
retruchio" in "The Taming of the
Shrew" whether I regard this play as
uggesting a remedy for- henpecked
husbands. I must emphatically say
that I do not. While I am no matinee
hero, I should not desire to risk tlie
ovc of any friends I may have
among the feminine members of my
audiences, by venturing any such
opinion, I am not offering any side
talks to married couples. Petruchio's
example suggests that a shrew, to
be tamed, must be caught early,
Petruchio loses no time, yet his
blustering and boistcrousncss are not
directed toward Kate personally, , He
is more considerate than the Blue
Laws' which I am told are still on
the statute books of some New
England States, which provide that a
man may whip his wife, provided he
docs not use a stick any thicker than
his finger. Shakespeare's tempera
ment was too refined to permit him
to condoue, even in farce, an act of,
direct brusqueness toward a woman.
Katherine's one complaint of him is
that 'he does it all in name of per
fect love'."
EACH OF THE SALOONS
LOSES LICENSE
PROPRIETORS CONVICTED
OF SELLING LIQUOR TO
YOUNG POUKKALA.
In police court yesterday after
noon Charles Nicmi, former proprie
tor of the Owl Saloon on Astor
street was iound guilty of the charge
of having sold intoxicants to a minor
and was fined $25 with the alterna
tive of 12 dayt in the city jail. At
the tame time H. Vahlsing, proprie
tor of a saloon , near the corner of
Sixth and Astor, was also found
guilty of a similar charge and he, too,
was fined $25 with the alternative of
12 days in jail. . Both men paid their
fines and gave notice of intention to
appeal.
These are the owners of the
places in which liquor was sold to
Enard Poukkala, the 16-year-old boy
who was arrested on a charge of
drunkenness. Nicmi, however, show
ed that he, personally, had nothing
to do with the matter.
As a corallary to the verdict of
guilt and the consequent fines the
two saloonkeepers also lose ' their
licenses, for an ordinance, and a
charter amendment also, each pro
vides that upon, such a conviction, in
police court the licenses shall be
deemed revoked. The , ordinance
plainly appears to be telf-executory,
and the 'conviction of the saloon
keepers oa the charges, ipso facto
causes a revocation of their licenses.
Immediately after court adjourned
yesterday afternoon both Niemi and
Vahlsing announced that they wish
ed to appeal their cases, apparently
in the hope that an appeal would
work a continuation of the whole
matter, and that the question of the
revocation of the licenses would not
be settled until the cases were set
tled in the circuit court. But the
ordinance says in so many words
that the licenses shall stand revoked
upon convictiou in "the police court",
so- that it does not appear how an
appeal would stay the revocation of
the licenses.
The fine of $25 in each instance
was the minimum one provided tor
by the ordinance, and the real blow
lies in the loss of the licenses. The
saloons will now have to .close up.
the little police court room wa3
well filled with witnesses and others
interested in, the matter when the
cases were called yesterday after
noon, though none of the law and
order league were present.
The case against Charles, Niemi
was first called. He testified that
he had contracted to sell his place
the "Owl" to two men, and that he
had absolutely not the slightest per
sonal knowledge of the transaction
in any way, But as the place was do
ing business in his name under the
license issued to him, naturally it was
inevitable that he should be held re
sponsible for the saloon. His own
testimony showed that the men wer
merely his agents and the court evi
dently was bound to, find him guilty;
and in addition, the ordinances do
not permit any transfer of a saloon
license. The testimony in this case
shows conclusively that drink had
been sold to the boy in this place.
In Vahlsing's place it was opcnlv
admitted drink had been -sold to the
boy. The defense was offered that
Potikknla had told the barkcepej
that he was 22 years old. It also
came out in the testimony that
young Toukkala's father and elder
brother have been in the habit of
drinking in the saloons of that
neighborhood, but no one seems to
have asked them the age of young
Enard. . ?
The prosecution was conducted by
City Attorney Ahcrcrombie; the de
fendants had no lawyers, and the
revocation of their licenses seemed
to have taken them by surprise.
In the case of Niemi, he seems to
have been the victim of circum
stances. He sold the "Owl," or rath
er "contracted" to sell it, and turned
the whole business over to two men.
Thus he had nothing to do with the
matter in reality, though as long as
the license stood in this name he na
turally' was held responsible. He was
much exercised over the matter, as
it is the first time he has ver had
the. slightest trouble with his sa
loons, but his trouble arose because
he contravened the law in letting
other men operate, under his name
and license., .. , : . S1 ,
A , pfominent saloonkeeper said
yesterday that, there are now five sa
loons in the redlight district which
are ' operating under transferred li
censes, and he also, alleges that one
saloon is actually running without j
any license at all. Police Officer
Houghton, who arrested the boy, and
secured ; the conviction! yesterday
with the aid of the city attorney,
seems to have earned the thankt of
all those, saloonkeepers and ' other's,
who want to tee the law enforced in
a reasonable way. -

NEW YORK STOCKS.
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The stock-
market has been dull this week to
the point of semi-stagnation in con
sonance with the halt in trade activ
ity. But the tone has been firm i
spite of dullness, due to buying by
uncovered shorts whose ' supposition
of 1 disturbance from the Japanese
question and from a raise in money
rates proved unfounded. The inflow
of money from the circulation proves
sufficient to fill all the special de
mands on bank cash and keeps the
money markets have relaxed with an
abroad have ; cleared and foreign
money marked have relaxed with an
effect of stimulation of stock mar
kets which found some reflection in
the New York market.

11 BRIX TENDERS HIS
JESIJli;!
JOHN NORDSTROM ELECTED
ASSISTANT CLERK OF THE
WATER COMMISSION.
At the meeting of the water com
mission last night the committee to
whom had been referred the matter
of reporting on a suitable person to
fill the position of inspector, recom
mended that the office of inspector
be combined with that of assistanr
clerk; and that John Nordstrom be
appointed as assistant clerk and in
spector. This recommendation of the
committee was adopted by the com
mission and Mr. Nordstrom is
therefore chosen for the work. The
salary was tet at $80 per month.
This action of the commission last
night may be taken to mean that
Mr. Lounsberry will withdraw his
resignation, and will remain in charge
of the office." Mr. Lounsberry had
intended to withdraw from the posi
tion because of the laborious duties
connected with the office, but with
the aid of Mr. Nordstrom, who also
is skilled in the care of books and
accounts, the position should now be
somewhat ' easier. While nothing
was said or done in relation to the
question of the clerk it is known that
it was sincerely desired ' that Mr.
Lounsberry be prevailed upon to re
main, and the, whole matter seems
now to ha-ve been settled in a very
happy manner. ' '"
Asmus Brix, one of the commis
sioners, tendered his resignation last
night -This will come as a complete
surprise to many citizens, who look
ed upon' Mr. Brix as one' of the
strong men on this important body.
The commissioners did not accept
the resignation, but laid it oh the
table after a discussion." It is under
stood that Mr. Brix, when he recent
ly paid his taxes, found that they did
not total the amount called for by
the city charter as a requisite to hold
ing a seat in the commission, and
that therefore he deemed it best to
simply withdraw. The provision of
the cnarter demanding $25 in "city
taxes" ' Is proving a very vexatious
stumbling block, and doubtless many
will sincerely reirret that Mr. Brix
felt copmelled to act as he did in
compliance with the presumably
plain terms of the organic law of th:
city. He was one of the old mem
ber,s also familiar with much of the
work pertaining to the body, and if
he really is to drop out from the
commission his services will be
missed. '
The commission voted to instruct
4he city attorney to take steps to
have the provision of the charter
tested in the courts.
No response had ever been receiv
ed from Judge McBride in reply to
the query sent him by the commis
sioners asking him to interpret th
provision. It was known that most
of the commissioners never expected
that Judge McBride would make the
interpretation, as such a course was
manifestly out of his duties as i
judge. The city attorney, Mr. Aber-
crombie, can now take up the matter
properly and there seems no reason
why it cannot be passed upon by
Judge McBride at this term of the
court.- 1 "
The commission evidently wishes
to let Mr. Brix's resignation lie on
the table until an interpretation of
the charter has been duly made, and
then it may possibly be ascertained
that he can rightfully hold a seat in
the body
All of the members were present
"last night except Mr. Brix. . The re
port of the clerk, Mr. Lounsberry,
showed that the total business for
the month of January was $3,904-70.
The total cash collections were $3903.
The treasurer's statement showed a
balance on hand in the general fund
on January 30 of $36,649.78- The
regular monthly pay roll was. $905.57;
bills amounted to $343.86.
The special committee appointed to
report on the new wire fencing
around the little resorvoir recom
mended that it be accepted and paid
for; the price for the fence and put
ting it up was $775.70. The commis
sion also received several quotations
on steel piping but took no action.
