Newspaper Page Textt v THE OREGON 'DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. FRIDAY v EVENINO. .FEBRUARY li, 1908. III SAFE Council Completes Horse , Play by Giving Saloon ; keepers Clean Bill "In Testations'! Will Be Dis continued by Committee. It waa left for ths city council to put the finishing touches to the farce performed by the liquor licence com mittee In its recommendations after heartns; a number of cases against sa loon-keepers charged with being unfit persons to conduct saloons. The coun ell voted yesterday to refer the case gainst Ed Johnson back to the com tnlttee for a rehearing. This was the only case where the committee recom mended that a license be revoked, al though the testimony offered la evl denoe at the hearings was very strong against others. Johnson Is the proprietor of a res taurant on Seventh street known as the .'West Coast Oyster house, and was found guilty of selling liquor after hours, of doing everything In his power to evade the law and being a general all-around "undesirable." Tom Fallon, proprietor of one of the worst resorts In the north end and a hangout for crooks of the lowest type, waa allowed to transfer his license to his bartender, despite the fact that Councilman Menefee said that every councilman knew the transfer to be a fake pure and simple and that Fallon till owns the saloon. Beeond Handfnl of Band. John Conrad, proprietor of an equally tough resort of a different type, was allowed to transfer his license to C. A. Tuck, although councilman who have been watching the place are firm in the belief Conrad still owns the saloon i and can be seen there at almost any I time of the day. Baker and Larson, who conduct a dis orderly resort at Third and Taylor streets, were allowed to come In at the eleventh hour and hold up the revoca tion of their license by the transfer route. The Pup and half a dozen other re sorts mat ngure in me newspapers many times a year because of the dis orderly conduct that Is permitted to i run unmolested in these places were given clean bills. Fred Frits. nroDrletor of the nlay- I house with a bad name, was canonised i ana a naio inrown aDoui mm oy me I council, despite the testimony of three J police officials, who told of indecent I acta and disorderly conduct rampant in turn uiau b Dcwnu nu suiuiiui Streets. When the hearings commenced the councllmen were firm in their declara- i tion that saloonkeepers shown to be violators of the law, or who were shown j to be Improper persons to conduct sa- . Innn d vnnM hav& thai 1 1 Aan r. . L voked. There was nothing; said about me rase iransiers or anv ouier compro mises that the councllmen could enter Into with the dlvekeepers. The licenses were to be revoked. After thla firm stand on morality the ' council committee listened to tales of I the bad character of patrons of the I saloons; to stories of convictions In I the notice court, and failure in the po- 1 lice court to secure convictions because the saloonkeepers would forfeit their ball and not be broufcht to trial, and of other disorderly acta Involving; the sn loonkeepers. and yet the council did not revoke the license. fares Has Only One Act. Still further, the councllmen hold that the forfeiture of ball Is not an admission of guilt, and therefore a saloonkeeper arrested for violating the law who forfeits his bail Is not neces sarily guilty, and therefore did not vio late the law, hence the council could not revoke the license because no con viction had been secured. The charter firovides that the council can revoke a Icense whenever the members see fit. conviction or no conviction. . Although Councilman Menefee said he wanted to see no more hearings of the saloon cades bv the committee because he said may were a farce, he did not offer to move the revocation of any of the licenses, but allowed the report or the committee to be approved. Other members of the council also failed to see the propriety of closing th H(vm In tha InterAfitn of mnrftl'lfv and voted to approve the clean bilU given the saloonkeepers. Yesterday's climax to the farce as Councilman Menefee calls the hearing, closes the Investigation of saloons. As a result of the weeks of inquiry not a license will be revoked and the council will never take un the task a train sav those who are familiar with the work ings of the council. OLD-TIME MERCHANT ;Vf DIES VERY gUIgpLY John Cran, one of Portland's oldest and best known ' business men, passed away' at his home, 781 Johnson street, last night after an Illness from pneu monia brought on by a prior attack of la grippe. He had been 111 only a few days and his early death came as a hock to his many friends and especially to nis wire. i. . ' Mr. Cran was born near Aberdeen. Scotland, February IT, 1843.

He came to Port land about 1870 from San Francisco and entered immediately into the business which he roiiowed, until oeatn came. His first connection with the drygoods business with which he was identified for so long was as a clerk for Clarke, Henderson A Co. In 184 he married Isabel Biggs, who survives him. He had no children and the only other near relative In America is a brother who lives in British Co lumbia. Three sisters and two other brothers are still In Scotland. Mr. Cran never entered Into politics In Portland. He was, however, identified with the British Benevolent society and waa of a philanthropic tOTn of mind. He Is said to have had, perhaps, fewer enemies and more personal friends than any other citisen of Portland. He was at one time en enthusiastic member of the Arlington club.

Ths council passed the poolroom ordl Bancs yesterday and from now on it will be illegal for boys under 19 years of age to enter these places. Toung man between 18 and 21 will be excluded after the hour of 10 and the poolrooms .must be closed alter l o clock. The ordinance' was passed as the re sult of the popular outcry agrainst pool rooms which came to be rewarded as a sort of breeding; place for crime among young; men. xnis reeling; was tne direct result of Investigations made by The Journal. Boys wno snouid nave been at home or engaged In other pursuits became imbued with a mad desire to play pool and billiards and their love for the (rame led them Into stealing; and robbing; in order to get money with which to pay ror meir amusement. Of the minors arrested for burglary in tho past few months It was shown that nearly all of them were frequent era of the poolrooms and stole to get money to pay for their games. They not only resorted to petty thieving from members of their own families, but took to robbing houses and holding up persons on the street. --Finally various women's clubs tflpk up the movement to rerorm tne source of tho evil. At the same time Coun cilman Beldlng became Impressed with the bad influence or tne pooirooms upon the young men and he drafted an ordi nance which was approved by the clubs and which was passed yesterday. j Police authorities as well as the coun cllmen believe that the new law will work great changes In the conduct of hundreds of youths In the city who are new addicted to the habit of frequent ing and loafing about the poolrooms. ;n Ladies' Night at Expo. .
