DRISCOLL THREATENS TO BREAK UP COUNCIL RING Like ths story of ths lion ana ths Urob Councilman DrlHcoll and Vaughn got together at yeatarday a meeting of the liquor lloenss committee of the city council and fired the opening (fun In what la to be Drlscull's program to haraaa the late majority combination of the oouncll by Introducing an ordl nance raising the liquor license of res taurants from $300 a year to JR00 The committee recommended the ordtnanc for passage. ririui.fili MHva ia maAa the combina.' tlon and says that he will break It He says he will have nothing more to do with the late majority and that no will show the members what a what. Those who know the fighting auolltlns or the councilman not oniy uensva iiuii he will do what he say he will do but will ever be a thorn in the side of thd majority party that has had lta own wnet way for more than a year. Furthermore Drlscoll save, now that he has separated himself from his late frlanrin. that his hands and feet are not tied to any corporation, brewery or any other interest and mai wni Wimi v. win nan tn nut throuKh every fnnaaiirfl that will work a benefit for the nubllo and Incidentally work h.rXahlr. aoiarnl nf Ilia InrKftHt COT poratlona of Portland to say nothing aoout xne pain ana uisi.ru iu mo " hers of th late combination.

The fight hinged on the Conrad license hut beforo h Invontlcntlnn which followed was n.v,, thorn vBrek IK licenses Involved. The hearings were a whitewash but the 1. i . ..... v. n f'nnra.l anrl even main ntsm-ntm ip " ,,v,r after the hearing wns over the fight was maintained on his place which re sulted In the transfer or nis hchiibo iu 'riiiflnir t'hA heerlnir the members of Via AnmmlttoA H At lrm I norl lO make neraonal Investigation of the several laAa Innliwllnir 7'nnrnrl'tl TtlRC'ft, I)rl3 or.il invt.tlo-ivt.d mid met Conrad. He questioned Conrad, Investigated the sa lnnn nri litnrl tn Conrad's story. Drlscoll came back to the hearing and maid that he believed Conrad to be all right and would vote for him. Not only that but Drlscoll came out and announced that he did not believe in trenttnir Conrad any worse than any other saloonkeeper and for that reason mud a rjersonal flKht ior coiirau, whom he said he liked. DrisooU's New Move. Drlscoll soon obtained rhe reputation of being tha'" representative of the brew ery and liquor Interests In the council which he did not take the trouble to denv. Then he sprang a surprise lie Introduced an ordinance prohibiting saloonkeepers from allowing women to eater saloons, tie sain mm an mnuii rt Hi invstiirntlanti nnd from the evi dence produced at Hie hearings of the ' liquor license committee, the presence of women jn saloons was the cause or all the trnuhle. The rent or the councllmrn were prac tlmllv forced to auree wllh Drlscoll, but t'lia ordinance which he had City Attorney John P. Kavanaugh draw up for him to bar women from entering saloons was carefully sidetracked and has not been passed to this (lay, al though It was Introduced last 1-ebru- arv. The measure will come up tomor rnw mornltm from the committee on holth nnd rtollce with the recommends tlon that It pass. Its passage is doubt ful. Jn the meantime Drlscoll fought to retain the license for Conrad. It is said that he conceded everything to the other members of the council combina tion In order to retain their support for the license. They supported nun uimi a week or so ago but finally gave way. The licetise diet! a natural death by not being renewed. Airs Sis Views of Council. At the last council meeting Council man Wills put In an ordinance revoking the license commonly believed to be owned by Conrad, but which had passed on to P.. C. O'Mearn. This stirred up Drlscoll and he got busy at once. Klrst he forced Wills to withdraw the ordi nance, which was done.. Then Drlscoll got busy. He started In bv telllnar the combina tion what he thought of them Individ ually and collectively and added that he had no strings tied to him; that he was not controlled by brewery, corpor ation or any other Interest and that Id an linne. Then ho talked to Councilman Kellaher and Councilman Rushlight his sworn enemies of the minority party. His words were of an gelic softness and pleased the leaders of the minority party as nothing; else could Finally Drlscoll ana vaugnn Kin together the two men who a few months ago were calling each other liars and threatening to kick one an other's head off In the council cham To see them standing apart from the rest, talking In tne most confidential innpi was a treat that few had ever nintrul And none had ever dared be lipve would occur. Hut It did. Since th first conference these have been vrnl others of still more conflden tlal nature and like the famous twlr.n of a, certain cleansing powder they did the work vesterdny afternoon which lft a hltfh polish on the csn that Drls- tlll wants to hang on his late partners, parties Chang Flans. More Interesting than any other phase of the row that has disrupted the faction Is the fact that Drlscoll will be able to carry over with him several of the majority party, which means that the majority party Is now the minority party and that the minority party has fair chance of becoming the majority yariy. Aside from the Drlscoll-Vaughn love Teast at yeelerday's meeting of the committee Deputy City Auditor Joe Hutchinson was Instructed to summon a number of saloonkeepers to appear be fore the committee and show why their licenses should not b revoked. This IS another body blow to the old com btnatlon and will result In another ser les Of sensation that followed the hearings of the committee last winter, The commlttea atHitml lh hull roll ing yesterday by refusing to transfer mo license, or j. M. fry. Aider street, to 261 Hood street. This trans fer was refused beoause of Councilman ioldlng s statement that there are enough saloons in the district at the present time. Other reasons may re suit In the revocation of the Fry license, however. It Is said that he sells liquor on Sunday but thus far has carefully conceaiea ins fact from the police. v nen tne committee meets again u Is expected that there will he one of the warmest meetings ever held, and that the saloonkeepers will have to conduct tneir own right for Drlscoll has said that he Is ready to revoke every 11 cense In the city. Politics and Politicians William Berrl. proprietor of the Brooklyn Standard Union, has been proposed for the Republican nomination iui luYamur ui xncw t. urn. Coal miners of the Rloomlngton dis trict have Indorsed the candidacy of Adlal K. Stevenson, former vice-presi dent of the United States, for the Demo cratlc nomination for governor of II Unols. In the present national campaign It Is expected that both parties will put forth extraordinary efforts to capture me colored vote. jiereioiore tne coi ored vote has received only moderate attention. The first political wager to be re corded In Chicago on the presidential election was a bet of J1.000 that Taft would be elected. The wager was made at odds of-2 to 1, the man who took the liryan end putting up $600.

Dr. Reed has been prom inent In the movement for pure food laws and legislation to benefit the science of mediclno and surgery.

In a way familiar enough to those who have need to know It. Ranging themselves for companion ship sake side by side along the edge of ths sidewalk while the raried traffic- roared along the street in front, the three little girls calmly laid half a dot en of their strips of wood down with ons end on the eurb and the other in the street, laying the sticks thus to gat them broken by passing wheels. The first vehicle that came along near the edge of the sidewalk was a big truck whose wheels rolled right over the middle of these half a dozen pieces of board and smashed them beautifully. Then the three girls gath ered these rleces up and laid down half a dozen more strips of board In the same way, and in course of time got all the wood broken In this way.

"The porgv, ' said a man who knows something about fish and fishing, "Is at Its best In these latitudes from about May 16 to Junit 16 It Is In that period that we get the biggest porgles In their finest condition, and at lis best tht porgy Is a very nice fish to eut "There 'are people who conHlder tho Forgy as S sort or cinirnon, ordinary Ish, but as a matter of fact It U a clean feeder and It llk good things to It feeds on young oysters and cI.iiuh, and on young crabs and other small crustaceans, und feeding on such food its own flesh Is very agreeable to thu taste. And while the porgy Is it i a particularly graceful fish. It Is when seen sJIvs and swimming a fih of very pretty coloring, pleasing to the ye. "At one or another season the porgy Is found all along our coast from Cap.t Cod to Florida. Wo get the first of thnu here along In April, when they begin to come up from the south, and tliose earlier fish are likely to appear first at the eastern end uf the sound, thoittli they may come at the same time up tlie jersey coast Later they come all along the coast in greater numbers. "Flshennen catch porgles In set nets, in seines drawn from tho shore and In purse uets In the open water. Forinerly porgies came In great numbers up Into New York bay and harbor. There w.i a time when the fishermen of Gravescnd Hay, If the shad fishing had been poor, would leave their nets down to catch porglea. but even If there was still shad fishing there they wouldn't be porgies enough to pay. "Once It was common to catch por gies fishing from New York wharves. But not many would he caught that way now. The Increased t raffia and the increased pollution of the waters keep them away. "In various hays around New York there are still caught with hook and line many porgies, and there may be good sport Ashing for them In season, but the porgies thus caught are likely to be mostly email. in summer me oig lei lows don't like the shallower waters: they prefer to stay off where the water la deeper and cooler. You get good g orgy fishing, for Instance, off around look Island or In deeper waters down around the Jersey coast. 'Though they-are still a great market fish It would be rather an unusual thing now to find porgies on a restaurant bill of fare. But there was a time when the porgy was held In somewhat higher es- teem by connoisseurs when In certain downtown old time famous restaurant the porgy In Its season wns iiimiIi something of specialty ami btn mt went to HiAse pltiut-s specially '- eat It as It was there prepund aud there are yet for that matter In tills prt of ths town some -old fashioned or at least old established restaurants In which lhy still serve th porgy In fine shape," SKYSCRA PKKS OPltOME.

Whenever a building la torn down there is always a certain amount of refuse material that the hnusewrecker doesn't think worth carting away to his yards. This la thrown to one side to be carried off by anyone who want It and there Is always somebody that dos want it, people gnther It up and take It home to use for firewood Women are among the wood gather ers at such places, and they gather the wood and tie It up in great bundles which they carry home on their heals. You might meet anywhere, even In the busiest prts of the town, a women carrying home In this way n. bundie bigger than herself of the wood thus fathered, its Jagged ends projecting ront and back, wood enough to kep the fire going for a day or two.
