concluded that It would tend .to - operate
against their interests ln favor of the
department store. The bill will com
up for passage next Wednesday after
noon, and It is believed the fight will be
continued before the lager body. Al
though a number of the oounctlmen
have expressed themselves favorable to
the ordinance, there are a few who will
probably oppose it on nnai passage.
Cited Sherman Aot Defects.
Dr. J. A. White, secretary of the
Portland Druggists' association, and A.
J. Clemanson led the fight against the
arrw-trust ordinance, the lormer making
an impassioned speecn in wnicn ne
cited numerous defect ln the Sherman
act There are some $0 drug stores in
Fortiand.
"What did the Sherman act do for
the people?" fairly shouted Dr. White,
"It didn't do anything but harm. It
was designed to strike the trusts, but
they were benefited instead. Your or
dinance is Incomplete. What is needed
is a standard price ana you should in
sert it ln your measure if you want to
protect the small ' dealer. You should
compel department stores to sell ar
ticles at the price stamped upon them
by the manufacturer. The small drug-
?lsts are compelled to do this to pay
or -handling them. The department
stores can afford to sell Peruna at 65
cents a bottle ln order to draw trade to
sell other goods.- We have to sell the
same' article at $1 a bottle. We can't
stand this cut-rate competition."
Chairman Bennett reminded Dr.
White that so long as department stores
did not enter a combination to reduce
the price of a commodity the ordinance
was of no power. He further stated
that the council or no other body could
compel an individual or corporation to
Siace a fixed price on his commodities.
Ir. Bennett went Into a lengthy expla
nation of the -intent of the ordinance,
in which be said:
"Thla. ordinance Is Intended to abol
ish combination in " the restraint of
trade. We can't say what an individual
or corporation shall sell goods for, but
we may "say that they cannot enter into
a written agreement with other Individ
ual or corporations to , fix a certain
price for the .sale of any goods, we
have the power to say that they must
not by agreement lower the' price of a
commodity to stifle competition' or com
pel a rival to suspend business, and we
have the power to say that they must
not, through understanding, raise the
price of a commodity to an exorbitant
figure.
Kick rrom Business Ken.
E. C. Bronaugh appeared before the
committee for a number of business in
terests of the city and objected toMhe
fasage or tne ordinance, ne siaiea
hat the ordinance was striking at the
commercial interests of the city and
that the council could not afford-to1 tto
it Mr, Bronaugh stated that If the
council: passed such an ordinance it
ougnt also to Insert a provision pre
venting the combination of labor. He
was cited to a decision of the Nebraska
courts which declared any such laws in
relation to labor as being unconstitu
tional. Mr. Bronaugh thought that the
state legislature ougnt to provide tne
trust Jaws instead of the city in order
to make them more effective. He de-

ho thought, ought not to be coun

formed, however, that an ordinance was
needed at once and the council would go
a far a it could In the matter.
Attorney Henry F. Joslln. represent
ing the Northeastern Improvement as
sociation, was. the only one at the meet
ing who urged the passage of the ordi
nance ln Its present form. "I represent
the people who pay the freight," an
nounced Mr. Joslln, "and I appear here
on their behalf to urge the passage of
this ordinance. conditions are sucn
that every commodity price is con
trolled by a trust The people are al
ready overburdened. This is a step in
the rtsrht direction and the council must
do something to help us."
Councilman Willi Talk.
Councilman Willis gave the commit
tee some information relative to the
brick agency of which he is one of the
leading members. He explained that
the agency had been rormen to reduce
running expenses and had been found of
great value. He said that brick prices
had been raised 26 oer cent ln two years
but that the brlckmen were compelled
to do it to catch up with the advance
in the cost or labor, wooa ana otner
things necessary in the manufacture of
brick. He wanted to know if the
agency would be affected by the ordl
nantee and was told that it would, al
though it was evident that no one waa
being injured.
Councilman Cottel cautioned con-
anrvatlam ln handling the ordinance and
Councilman Baker thought all retailers
should be compelled to place a standard
price on patent medicines.
Deputy City Attorney Fitsgerald In
formed the committee that the ordl
nance was an innovation in that Port
land was the first city In the United
States to attempt it He stated that
under the charter Portland had almost
sovereign powers in that the entire po
lice power of the state was delegated to
the municipality. He said that unless
the courts place some limitations on
the ' police power the council ha the
right to pass the ordinance.

I IS ARRESTED BY WOnflAR
(Jonrstl Special Cervtee.)
Los Angeles, Aug. . Under the es
cort of United States secret service
men 120 Japanese coolies, who were ar
rested along the Mexican border while
attempting to effect an , entrance into
the united States, were sent to Ban
Francisco today for deportation. '
For several weeks past this party of
Japanese has been hejd in captivity here
awaiting instructions from Washington.
Orders were received from the admin
istrative offices this morning and the
coolies were immediately started for the
Bay city.
When the advice of the arrest of the
coolies were sent to Washington : the
matter waa immediately taken up with
the Japanese ambassador. He replied
with a curt note strenuouslv obiectinf
to the Japanese exclusion treaty. This
was the turning point and the order for
the deportation of the coolies waa im
mediately promulgated. .
Becret service agents on the Mexican
border have learned of the workings of
a regular underground railway along
Dom me norinern ana soucnern border
of the UnlteJ States. It is believed by
the detectives ' and secret service oper
atives that more coolies are belna-
nrougni across roe Mexican border than
inai or canaaa, out it la also Known
that a great many coolies are brought
across by the latter route.
White men are mr "ring a regular busi

route. The operatives are doinr all in

Brooding and despondent over aa un
happy married life, Harry C Lleb
purchased a revolver and cartridge .
yesterday afternoon and. after medltat
lng for five hours over his .personal af
fairs, shot and killed hi wife, Etta,
Lleb. and then killed himself at th "
home of Dr. and Mrs. H. A. Sturtevant,
St8H Thirteenth street, at 8 o'clock last '
night ."
Storle of Can Differ.
Stories a to th real cause of dis
agreement between Llebe and his wif
differ among friend of the dead per
sons. Those of Mrs. Lleb claim that
Llebe was of dissolute character and
drank to excess which caused Mr.
Llebe to refuse to live with her hus
band. Friends of Llebe on the other
hand--denyiharfr he drank to excess and
say that he never fell under the in
fluence of , drink. . Thev say that Mrs.
Liebe was of a nervous, irritable tem- .
perment and hard to get along with.
Mrs. Lieoe was snot in tne len breast
and her husband fired the shot that
ended his life through his head. He
placed the barrel of the revolver ln hi
mouth and nulled the trlsrrer. the bullet
passing out of the top of hi head.
Llebe was the son of Judxe and Mr.
George Llebe of The l Dalles, where th
on waa engaged ln the Jewelry business .
until 0 day ago. when he came to -
Portland and engaged In the real estate
business with W. T. Maritime, .with
office ln the Swetland building. ' Mrs.
Liebe was the daughter of Mr. and Mr.
Charles Pittman, formerly of East Port- ,
land. Mrs. Liebe' father committed
suicide, it is said, about a year ago and
the mother 1 now living at Lyle. Wash- '
Ington. ' "... . .
In speaking of hi former partner
Mr, Marklllle said today? -
: 9nls Drinking- Story.
"The story that Liebe was a heavy
drinker 1 absolutely false. He waa of
temperate habit and no on can ay ,.
they ever saw him under the influence
of liauor. He drank but seldom and Z .
know he did not take a drink yesterday.
If the truth were known Lleb did all
he could to make his wife happy, al
though neither was aulted for each
other. Both were of a nervous, nagging ,
temperament and were constantly Quar- '
r"Liebe went to visit Mr. Llebe'
mother Saturday and while there Mr. .
Llebe arrived on the scene. Effort
were made by Liebe and Mrs. Pittman
to bring about a reconciliation, but I do
not believe they could' ever hav lived
happily. Mrs. Llebe wa a auff erer from
tuberculosis, and Liebe urged ber to
stay with her mother up in th moun
tains until she became better, agreeing
to live with the Sturtevant until ah
felt like coming to Portland and re
uming her home with him. She agreed
to do this, but cam back Wednesday.
- Preoccupied AU Day. , -, , ,
"Llebe telephoned' her yesterday nd-
arranged to meet her last night. While
telephoning, Mrs. Liebe cut off Mr. Llebe -very
shortly, which made him feel badly
and he remarked. That Is hot the way
for a. wife to treat her husband.' He '
seemed preoccupied all day with hi
domestic care and waa unfit for busi
ness. He grieved over his i affair and .
regretted nis family relations." . ,
Mrs. Linbe received treatment from
Drs. Darr and Quigley, and -Dr. 'Mar.
garet Quigley said of Mr. Liebe thl
morning: ' ' -
"Mrs. Liebe w of gentle and lovable
qualities. She was of very quiet nature V ;
and never spoke of her relations with. -her
husband. She refused to live with
him because of his - dissolute way. :
There 1 no truth to the statement that
he wa cross and irritable."
Liebe nurchased his revolver and ' '
cartridges at the Honeyman hardware
Btore vesterday afternoon and W, Lv
Robertson, th clerk who waited on
him, said: ' - .
Sent Xands U K Pocket.
"The moment" Liebe -came into th
store I noticed - that something - was -
wrong wlth him. He kept his hand la
his pocket all the time he was in th
store save while pointing out the re
