BLOTCH ON
IS THE
Vice Wears No Mask Amid the Many Pitfalls of That Unsavory
Quarter and Shows Itself to the Denizens Naked,
Disgraceful and Disgusting.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE HAS ISSUED LICENSES TO RUN
One District in Portland Said to Be Worse Than the Slums of
New York Where Their Odors Offended the
Nostrils of the Country
(7 C Whitney.)
Portland'4 city council has a license
committee that la a. bloomln' wonder.
In direct violation of the ordlnancea
' Suppoaed to have been created for the
, government of thla city. It haa granted
permission to all the dlvea and dena In
the notorious, ill-smelling cesspool of
vice known ( the north end, to run on
for another quarter, which permission
carries with It. to all Intents and pur
poses: 1. The privilege of remaining open
' after hours.
. i. The habitation of saloons and con
cert halls by women.
J. The fleecing; of wsge-earnera by
the wholesale, and the toleration of
loafers, crooks and all other degrade;!
specimens of humanity.
A question arose at first In the meet
lng of the committee as to granting
the Paris House, the Green Front
"theatre?" and the Orpheura the licenses
applied for, but final actio was favor
able to the proprietors. What cured th
council committee for Portland's moral
standing?
It Is useless for Portlanders to talk
about the slums of New York while thu
.north en.4 exists in Portland. This elty
.lias ths nation's metropolis beaten by a
long stretch of Iniquitous land. There
are worse characters, dens mora vile
and, comparatively speaking, more nu
merous than you can And from .fall
street to Baxter, from the Bowery to
Broadway.
Tow of the Worth Sad.
I discovered It laat night, when Per
kins. The Journal's police reporter, vol
unteered to pilot me In a tour of tho
north end. the object of -which was to
tell the truth about the concert hulls
that flourish there. .
It 1s an Interesting, disgusting qoar
ter of the city. It Is there that "enter
tainment" Is furnished upon a 2 by 4
stage by women who. aa a rule, have
been failures aa licensed outcasts, ami
men who were so seriously affected by
the financial standing of the women that
they had to go to work. The result.
from an amuacment point of view, la
altogether unmentionable.
It is there that minors kre enticed
from the pool tableo and sloppy bars
by the hysterical smiles ;of women com
pelled to "work the boxes" upstairs;
where the houses employ pool sharks
dressed as farmer boys to "skin" tho In
experienced rural youngsters out of
their money; where peroxide blondes In
rod dresses shriek sentimental ballads;
h,r thA ivmni run or natrons can
Kord dhly beer and grow logy under
Us effect, with dense olgarette smoke
-eM-a qontrlbuting cause; where tn5
sound of billiard balls Vies for suprem
acy with vocal convulsions and me
chanical "pianos." It was there that
my heart went out to the Bartenders
and Walters forced to listen to tho
programs night after night. -
wieesen t Family so art.
Perkins led the way flint to the Haas
"cafe." 15 Third street, conducted by
Shapiro A Lake It coat nothing to en
ter, although it Is a bar-room, billiard
room and "theatre" combined. We were
handed a program and an Invitation to
have a drtnk. This program announced
that It waa subject to change, which
was aomo relief, but the hit of tho
four-page creation waa this:
"Don't forget our pleaaant family
-resort up In tho balcony, whore you
can make yourself at home."
In other worda, go up and moot tho
performers at tl a drink, and consider
fortune on your slds if that's all It costs
you. There were perhsps a dosen
minors In this place playing pool or
watching the show. That they were
minors a blind man could havs told. If
only by their voices.
At Blaster's, on I First, near Main
street, the noticeable feature was the
number of devloes for nickel-grabbing.
While the boxes were practically filled
and the waiters fairly busy, and a so
called "musical" entertainment waa
"on." the biggest part of tho coin was
rapidly transferred to the slot machines.
A "modern musical wonder." in the
form of a piano run by electricity, was
possibly the most saddening ateal of all.
The nickel drops, tho wheels start, tho
instrument gives vent to what might be
an Imitation of the battle of Gettysburg
and becomes silent, all In 21 seconds.
Tho Venom Woldn't Walt,
- Against this example of the art. a
brunette with a cracked voice, who, with
a fine touch of Irony, has adopted the
name of Verdi, pipes "Somebody Is wait
ing for me." (Perkins said he didn't
believe the person would wait long..
"Saphd" picture machines, containing
either lewd or broadly suggestive photo
graphs, lured many a five-cent piece
from the eager working boys, and fi
nally came the regular trade machines.
Which seemed to be "perfectly on the
square." For 20 cents I won a few loss
than a box of good cigars, and was al
most ashamed to take ths award from
the honest bartender.
Ten mlnutea later it waa demonstrated
to me that the uptown Blaster's Is a
paradise. The real "Joint" Is 'way down
on' Third street, near Burnnlde street,
where there are three entrances and two
bars, and where no color lino is 'drawn.
Here the Chines mingled with the ne
groes, and they all rubbed elbows In
the throng with poor. down-trodden

of course, tho crowds would grow larger

OVER-EATING WILL
CURE CONSUMPTION
- f 1
Records Prove the Cure of the
Dread Disease in New York
Tenements.
KEEP WINDOWS OPEN
EAT PLENTY OF FAT
Treatment Is an Exploitation of
the Theory of Over
Feeding.
( Journal Speelal 8rlee. )
New York, Dec. 2t. The possible cure
of consumption in New York tenements
haa been demonstrated in a remarkable
degree by recent records from the Poat
Graduate hospital. Patients are re
corded as cured who are taken In hand
when the disease was In Its prima
stages. -
They were treated at the hospital and
allowed to live at their homos. They
had merely to visit the hospital for ex
amlna-Hon for graded nourishment. The
diet was carefully arranged and ths
dwellings kept perfectly ventilated.
Dr. Roosa, president of the hospital
staff, said:
"Out of approximately 250 patients
50 have been thoroughly cured of con
sumption. The treatment la an, ex
ploitation of the theory of overfeeding.
By overfeeding patients at the first
stages of the disease and watching their
surroundings at their homes, tt is ne
lleved coiiBuhiDtlon can be conquered.
"Milk, eggs and easily digested fats
are given patients at the hospital. There
Is no restriction on otner rooas, now
ever. but we see that they keep the
windows open constantly."
WAGNER FIGHTING
HIS DAMAGES
Iniured at Northrup Street
Bridge, Says Council Should
Have- Repaired It.
R R. Duhnlway, attornew for Samuel
Wagner, in his damage suit agalnat the
otty of Portland, has filed his reply to
the answer of the city, and asserts mat
the city had abundant funds on Decem
ber 81. 102. with which to repair the
Northrup street bridge, on which Wag
ner was injured.
Richard Williams, attorney for the
council, mayor and city corporation, hav
(ne- been eliminated from the case.
pleaded In his answer recently that there
were no funds available for street re
pairs at the time of the accident, and
that, therefore, the city council wss not
liable for damages on account or de
feots In the bridge '-
Mr. Dunnlway further pleads that the
council and city should be estopped
from pleading no funds at that time,
for -the reason that they had warrant
from tho charter to assess expense of
repairing the bridge to abutting prop
erty and other property that would re
ceive especial benefit therefrom.

Bitter Fight Will Be Made by All

"Officers.
Interest in the gambling caass was
atirred today when Spencer and Davl
assed tne circuit court to grant a new
trial to Fred Fritz, who was convicted
two weeks ago for conducting a gnmb
ling establishment. In tho-jniotion It is
uleged that the evidence was not suf
flcient to sustain a verdict; errors by
the court are als alleged.
It had been Understood that Frits
was not disposed to make a very haetl
fight, and It was presumed that, being
convicted, he would not further resist
the process of the law.
The statement Is made with spparent
show of authenticity that the strenuous
ilgit made by those who were arrested
waa In large degree actuated by motives
of bitterneas, and it waa not expected
that, in the outcome, there could be
anything hut defeat for everyone who
had been brought Into court In the re
cent raids on gambling houses.
Frits waa one who. It la alleged, de
cided to accept the verdict of the Jury
and make no further struggle. But ap
parfently he has come to a different
frame of mind, and has determined to
Join the gamblers who have been em
ploying every artifice known to the
legal profession to defeat the ends of
justice.
A reopening of the bitter campaign
may be presaged by the filing of the
Frits motion for a new trial, and some
more interesting development may be
looked for, with the oposlng forces em
ploying their best talent to baffle their
opponents. -

PROPOSE CHANGES IN

Oregon I'lah and Oame association, to
be held January (. The meeting will
convene at I p. in . In the mining stork

building.
Should shooting of Chinese pheasants
be prohibited? Should laws protect

on (in. ks and trout be reduced? Should
the uao of the "pump-gun be barred?
Should a hunting license be required
from every gun owner? These ques
tions will be discussed, and a proposi

"Tho vital defect In present laws to
proi'- t Oregon's game and fish Is In the
method of enforcement," says Secretary
A. B. Oebhardt. "The salary of a dep
uty game warden In Oregon Is Slipper
year, and It Is almost Impossible to get
any reaults. The need Is for a sufficient
amount of money to pay about $50 per
month and get good men, who will han
dle the work of enforcement vigorously
and intelligently. It Is suggested that
a sufficient revenue for all purposes may
bo raised by a law levying a tax -or
license of a dollar a year per gun. Hiii-Ii
a llrenee would ratae nfcout $8,000, and
would be ample for thi purpooo."

WOMEN'S PROBLEM:
HOW TO PLEASE MEN
Josephine Floyd Says They Have
Been Studying This Since
the Creation.
BUT SHE FINDS THEY
HAVE NOT SOLVED IT
Leading Lady of "Show Girl"
Gives Sisters Some Hints
on the Subject.
Since Aspasla charmed Pericles in an
cient Greece, or perhaps it would be
better to say, since Adam loved Kve,
women have been atudylng the problem
of how to please meu." says Josephine
Floyd of the show Qirl" company.
"Isn't It surprising, then, that In all
those thousands of years they haven't
solved tt better? There are really few
girls who seem to realise what a man
admires. I think it has been said be
fore, but It Is stni unheeded, so It may
be saM again, that first of all men
want sympathy for themselves and
their work. They don't want so talk to
a girl whose mind is filled with her
gowns and millinery or those of the
other girl, so that ahe has no room for
Interest in his affairs.
"Of course, to most woinen a man's
work and Ambitions are as difficult to
understand aa Greek or Hebrew. They
hope the man In whom they may be
Interested will, succeed In what He
wishes "to do, but beyond that they are
not capable of thinking or acting for
him. A man wants more than this
from the girl of whom he makes a friend
with matrimony looming ahead. She
must sympathize , with him and his
Id a Is. and. not only sympathize, but
gain some Intimate knowledge of his
work and his ambitions', so that he 'inay

"The simpering, gushtng, frivolous
girl does not sppeal to the average
man. She appears, too selfish; there
seems to be too little concern or thought
for others In her nature. There are men
who like what may be called the -thoroughly
serious mind, d girl. But the
most popular girl Is the happy medium,
who can amuse and who owns to the
feminine foibles -that make a woman
dear to a man's heart.

that men prefer companionship to a
pretty face. When he marries, a man
inevitably decides op a woman who,
