Just reaaon i that auch oouraa ahould be followed, ' there waa a proper method to adopt. It was wrong- to allow the polloa full li cense In tha collection of tinea and not ' keep check upon the amount of money ' they took In or where it went after they ( got It. Chief Hunt alao came Into the ' oounollman' dlacouraa for rather forcible ' mention.

He started by reading from the report of the Municipal Court for the month of April and gathered from It that many men running gamb ling houses had escaped paying a tine, and that while 44 paid fines on the 21st of the month, onlv four Dald on the noi oe allowed rree license in me col lection of these lines and that either the Council or aome regular outside author ity should supervise the collection or Portland would have the most corrupt city government in the land. The People's Bight. In an Impassioned outburst he said: "If we axe to license men to rob the people let the people know that auch places re being allowed to run and to have noilu protection. Do not let the citisens suppose that these houses are closed when they are not If we must license the gambling Interests, and I do not believe that we are forced to do ao, let the city receive the money, and not some police captain or some other offi cial. I do not know that officers do receive money to allow gamblers to es cape flnea or licenses, but tha report seems suspicious and there certainly in opportunity offered. Police captains should not be allowed this opportunity. If we are to have open gambling let It be known that the gamblers are receiv ing- definite protection, for a definite time. In payment for a definite fee. "The CbJaf tnM mat whan h olneeif the houses early In April that gambling would cease In Portland, but all the places and dens opened on the 21st and have since run freely. I am opposed to the system of Uoensing gambling and know how I would settle the entire mat ter If I had charge, but let us at least stop this easy graft of certain officials. Let us openly receive the funds and have no side Issues." Sharkey Oct In. After Mr. Flegel had spoken Councilman Sharkey said that from the! heat of the gentleman s remarks some of the speak' er's friends must have had to pay more than others to continue business. He suggested that at the latter date men tloned many of the houses might not have been running. With this reply the incident and discussion closed. ine ordinance providing that tele- graph poles should be taxed 12 each year was considered. It was stated that the Western Union Company had over 700 poles in the city and the Postal, Company more than 100. Mr. Rumelln thought that this unequal taxation was not Just. A member of the ordinance committee stated that on a showing of the Postal Telegraph Company last year their assessment had been reduced from 17 K n i. ii .. .... . n r i . . ... uuiiurai uia noi lusurv me out. llfy. After they had received their re duction the Western Union representa tives appeared and staiod that they only am x- worm or business In the city year and desired their assessment cut Hiwn. The license committee then con- eluded that some tax should be de vised that would lake into account the various volumes of business, and decid ed that the pole tax was beet Mr. Al bee amended the ordinance to read $1 for each pole, and It was passed. In vot ing Mr. HumeUn stated that it looked like the, Council was trying to "rub" It Into the; telegraph companies. Mr. Sharkey came back with the reply that on the contmry the companies were trying to "rub" It Into the city. -The vote was For the ordinance: Albee. Bentley (voted no and .changed to aye), Cardwell.

An amended ordinance regulating the circus tax was read and passed, the changes made being in the license of tirst class shows. Those charging 75 cents or more for admission and re served seats will pay 200 for the circus, J2oifor each menagerie. ,25 for each eon cert to which admission is charged, and J10 for each side show per day. The hope was expressed that Council mem bers would secure their passes before the advance agent brought up the mat ter or taxes, else the -circus might, as shows had in the past, escape paying their full tax. Pavilion Ordinance Walts. The ordinance concerning the Union Market and the tearing down of the Me chanics' Pavilion was referred to Mr Miller and the City Attorney. It was also decided toe hold a special meeting of the Couimll Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock to act in this matter. A resolution was Introduced by Shark ey Instructing the special flreboat com mitte4to waste no further time in se curing a boat, or In adopting specifi cations for th6 construction of such a vessel. In support of the resolution Mr. Sharkey stated that for CO days the II Off H t s.. V . Only.

"" The MeVor stated for-the committee that 40, people had 40 different views on nreboats and that' the committee naa hardly been Idle," . since 'at ' the present moment It was considering whether it should buy a flreboat at once or have on built. He also reminded the gentle man that the committee- bad written to Eastern experts, had discovered what kind of a flreboat must be bad and. had done many other thing that required time. Mr. Sharkey again criticised the work of the committee, after which the resolution was passed. Ordinances Passed. The following ordinance relating" to street and : sewer.

In explanation of the statement made yesterday at the City Council that the Western Union Telegraph Company had claimed It had only done 112 worth of business In the city during the past year Councilman J. P. Sharkey said this morn ing: "The company claimed that during the year It had only done $12 worth of busi ness in Portland, meaning from one part of the city to another, and that the rest of its business was state or Inter-state. Under ths Interstate commerce laws a city cannot tax corporations for other than local business, so I advised that the Western Union be taxed for the poles it has In the city. Under a Supreme tlon In the eyes of President Roosevelt upon the occasion of his visit here." This. In effect, ts what the committee on program decided at a meetlna- held last evening when it was determined that all foreign flags and emblems should be eliminated from the parade.

The epidemic originated from the wanton act of a Pennsylv-anlan by lie name of William Vasblnder, who came across the continent to secure a timber claim In the Deschutes River country.

Willie Fltxgerald Is anxious to secure another meeting In the roped arena with his late conqueror. Jimmy Brltt. Willie Brltt, who represents his broth er In everything pertaining to match making, had the following to say: "It Is natural, of course, that Fltx gerald should want another go. I never knew of an Instance where a defeated man didn't clamor for one'. There are two sides to every question though. My brothers has defeated Fitzgerald fairly and squarely, and Jimmy's motto Is 'onward and upward.' He sighs for new worlds to conquer and I agree with him that a man shouldn't be asked to accomplish the same thing twice before seeking further advancement. We have several propositions under consideration. We would like to box this English Jabex White if he arrives on time, and If he doesn't put in an appearance we will probably accept an offer to fight Jack O'Keefe at Butte in June. Everybody knows the way we were treated when Jimmy fought O'Keefe In Portland, and we will go a little out of our way for the sake of getting another crack at Mr. O'Keefe. Nothing definite has been de cided upon, however, Jimmy will open up at the Central Theatre presently In 'The Naval Cadet,' and will play a sea son of two weeks. ' He will keep In con dition and will give some thought to Fitzgerald's challenge for another match. If it appears that there is a strong de mand from the sporting public for a re turn contest he may agree to it." The gate receipts of the recent Fitz-gerald-Brltt contest amounted to $7,786. Of this Brltt received $3,091.66 and Fitz gerald $936.90. r. x. TJxotf.ra, tL & . WE CURE MEN.

The committee, recent- iy appointed to investigate conditions on i the river front, reported the gradual j growth of a gravel bar opposite the city, ! and the shifting of the channel toward , the Polk County shore, thus menacing j Salem's water front and the Willamette River bridge. It was decided to secure j further information on the subject, and luter submit the matter to the Oregon ; delegation In Congress, with a view to ; asking government aid In freeing the i river from the obstruction In the shape of the gravel bar and to confine the stream to its present channel. ! Joseph J.
