Retail Liquor Dealers Declare
Measure Proposed by the 'ln

At a aocret meeting ef the Retail Li
quor Dealers' ' association yesterday
afternoon, preliminary aepa were taken
to raise a fund for the defeat of tho
hick license bill, proposed by tha Initia
tive one hundred.
This measure will be voted ufen by
the people at the June election. . The
opinion expressed at tha meeting was
that tha adoption of the bill would cause
the closing of 41 saloons In Portland.
Saloonkeeper who have studied the
measure said that under Its terms s
aaloon could not be ' conducted profit
ably ta Portland. - In the flrat place,
their story ran. . It would be- almost
Impossible to get a license. One saloon
only would be allowed to each block,
and the application would have to be
nlgned by 10 freeholders. The Interior
of the saloon must not be obscured,
only one door would be allowed, and
there must be no noise.
"Sot even a song. said a saloons
keeper disgustedly, "Nothing but boose
which customers must drink in full
view ef men and women out on tha
treef
The foregoing was sll that was made

Tbe report of the subcommittee ot

tol'a nomination aa United Statea dis

arrival. ' - i
. . While the senator-elect.' Mr.' Mulkey,
haa never expressed himself publicly
as to the controversy ever Preaident
Roosevelt's appointment of Mr. Bristol,
there, is aeaaon to believe that he ap
proved ef tbe president's choice- and
shared In his opinion that tha charges
against Bristol were without Just foun
dation. Among Senator Mulkey" a frlenda
the opinion prevails, therefore, that he
win not support senator Fulton's ven
detta against Bristol. :i 4
i If. this view is correct, Oregon's sen
ators (after Senator Mulkeye arrival in
Washington) will take opposite sides la
tha controversy., and aa both are Re
publicans the rule ef senatorial courteay
which might otherwise compel the sen
ate to acquiesce in Fulton's objections
will not prevail. With the two aenatora
from Oregon taking opposite-views aa
to the-nomination... the senate will be
free to act as It sees fit. and under
such circumstances President Roose
velt's known desire for Bristol's reap
pointment may prove decisive. ?
. If action 4a delayed until after Sena
tor Mulkey'a arrival In Washington he
will , have to choose whether to array
himself with- President Roosevelt or
with Senator Fulton ia the bitterest
struggle over Oregon patronage which
