Robnett The Journal Kdnca t lonal Contest. This young man was born in Walts bur. Washington. 21 years ago. and has Ihnl in Portland for the past six vfars, most of this time residing at paper work for the past two years and became Interested In the Educational Contest and Its liberal advantages through the fact that he is preparing himself for a law course. In The Jour nal Educational Contest he saw a com paratively easy way to obtain a valu able law course for one year In the Oregon l.aw school, and also an oppor tunity to earn a liberal cash award to help pay his expenses through school, and made up his mind to enter the list of candidates at once. Knowing the subscription game fair ly well, this young man knew It meant work, but the reward was sufficient to repay and he Is determined to head the list of winners. The Robnett family Is well and favorably known throughout eastern Oregon and the Willamette valley, and there is no doubt but what the many relations of this enfrgetlo young man will come to his aid with a large and substantial list of subscriptions. Schoolmates to Help. All of his many friends and acquaint ances throughout tlie enure I'iiy i Portland speak In the highest terms of him and several of Ills high school lassmates have volunteered to help In his battle for subscriptions and votes. Ambitious hoys and girls and young men and women must not overlook the fact that the same valuable scholar ships and opportunities are within their reach. It would tie well to look into this contest offering and get to work today if you would take advantage of free schooling and Incidental expenses The contest has lust fairly started and any active contestant, with a little work, could land among the top scores. Call on the contest manager today for Instructions and get to work with a receipt hook. . With the majority psrty of the coun cil completely disorganized the minority party elected Councilman A. G. Rush light yesterday afternoon to succeed Councilman A. N. Wills as president of the council for the ensuing year. All efforts of the nislorltv party to agree on a successor to heart the council j failed and at last In their desperation the members of the majority compro mised to give the honor to Councilman Cellars, who Is said to have declined It. This dual blow completed the dlsrup- i tlon of the majority, which began when Drlscoll left the majority party, and the latter councilman was enabled to, triumph over his former confederates and secure the downfall of his arch i enemy, Wills. Rushlight s election proved most popular to the members nnd he was called upon to make a speech. Mayor Lane Invited Rushlight to the chair and allowed him to preside over the rest of the meeting. Rushlight thanked the counctlmeu for the honor conferred upon him and said that he would en deavor to be impartial In Ills rulings, lie called upon the councllmen to aid him In the work and asked that they conduct business on strictly parlia mentary lines In order to facilitate Its transaction. Initiated by Hot Tight. That Rushlight is capable of carry ing out the duties of a presiding officer was shown by the able manner In which he handled the councllmen through one of the most turbulent sessions ever held. At the conclusion of the meet ing he was surrounded by Mayor Lane and the councllmen, who congratulated him upon his decisions and the manner In which he hurried through business. This Is Rushlight's second term as councilman and he Is counted on as one of the ablest members of the city's Ieglslatlvu body. He 18 a warm friend of Mayor Lane and It is evident that the council and the mayor have tired I of the strife that marked the first year of the council's life, and through Rush lights election slgnilled their intention of attending more strictly to the city's h uslness. Cellars an Independent. Cellars' action in refusing the posi tion can be accounted for In but one way. It lias been noted in the past few months that he has been cutting away from the dictates of the majority party and voting Independently. Had it not been lor this he would undoubtedly' have been settled upon from the start I as Wills' successor. i When the honor was finally offered to him he took the stand that Inas much as the majority party was broken that he would no longer be identified with any combination and would act In dependently. With this plan In view he would not take an honor that would force him to recognize a clique. Just who voted for Rushlight Is not known. Rushlight voted for Vaughn, and Concannnn. Cottel, Drlscoll, Kella her and Vaughn voted for Fushlight. It is believed that Dunning also voted for Hushliirht, but where the other two votes came from is known only to the councllmen. LIQUOR MEN INfeQUJIICIL DEFEAT URGENT MEASURE One of the cleverest displays of pol itics ever enacted on the floor of the city council was led yesterday by Councilman Kellaher and resulted in the defeat of Cnunciluian Drlscoll's or dinance prohibiting saloonkeepers from allowing women to enter saloons. The defeat of the measure was caused by .adding amendments to the ordinance until Its original Intent was unrecog nizable even to Drlscoll. Kellaher was actively backed In the fight by Raker. Bedding and Cottel, and when It came time to vote for the measure as amended, the members who had been fighting for months to pass It refused to vote for it on the ground that It was so drastic that it could not be enforced. Councilman Rennett offered an amendment when the ordinance was tirniiirht un for consideration which pro vided that women would be allowed In umrtrv stores, drug stores and open and public dining rooms having a floor space exceeding square ieei. i urn Kellaher proposed an amendment which made It Impossible for women to visit any place where liquor is sold on the premises, Amendments Xoat. An opinion from City Attorney Kava naugh convinced the members that sucn an amendment would debar women from living In hotels having bars. After a considerable debate Kellaher's amend ment was lost by a tie vote of 6 to 6 Bennett's amendment was also lost by the same vote. Kellaher then moved to adjourn, which was lost by a vote of B to 7. Councilman Cottel, chairman of the liq uor license committee, then sought to have the measure referred to the lloffor license committee. This was also lost by a vote of 3 to 9. n.in that there w a determined effort being made to take final action on the measure the filibusters tried one more tack to place the ordinance on the shelf by Indefinitely postponing action. This motion was lost ny a vote of 4 to i With such a strong vote against them Kellaher. Rker and Cottel kept up the debate while a conference was going on on the floor and then another effort was made to put the measur over This time Raker moved to ad journ until this afternoon at t o'clock This motion was lost by a vote of 6 to 7 Kellaher Immediately followed thU Up with a motion to adjourn until the next regular meeting, which was lot by. a vote of to t Mora Jobbery Shown. Encouraged bv the. Increasing votes the enemies of the ordinance again got together and Kellaher once more of fered his amendment This was de murred to bv the others because th amendment hi already h-en voted on President Rushlight, who was presiding, aid that the amendment had been voted on as an amendment trt an immjmrt but not ss an amendment- to the ordi nance. This ruling caused some anger among the frlnd of .the messure. but was finally allowed to gn through and the amendment was passed. Councilman Wills, flopping over and voting with Kellaher. making the vote 7 to 6 Beldlnr then moved to amend by pro viding that the ordinance should ap plr to male minora aa well aa to girls and women. Once more Wills rotM with the filt erable discussion the amended- ordinance was voted on and was lost by a vote of 6 to 6. Eight votes are necessary to pass an ordinance. Councilman Kellaher's skill as a leader on the floor was shown by the manner In which he outwitted the friends of th ordinance and finally forced them to vote against the meas ure which they wanted to pass. His amendments made it Impossible for them to do so because, as was freelv predicted on the floor, if the meas ure was passed, Mayor Lane would necessarily have to veto It. Liquor Interests Defended. During the fight over the measure, lasting more than an hour. W. T. Rush, proprietor of a saloon at 81 First street, stood behind Baker and Kellaher and was seen offering suggestions. Baker denied following any of the instructions of the saloonkeeper, but that the Ho nor interests were behind the defeat of the ordinance was the opinion of sll save those who flnallv voted for the amended ordinance. The final vote on the amended ordi nance was as follows: Yeas Annand, Raker. Beldlng Con cannon. Cottel and Kellaher. Noes Bennett. Cellar Drlscoll, Men efee. Rushlight and Wills. Dunning, Vaughn and Wsllace were absent. TOOK WHOLE CASH REGISTER TO PAY DEBT Chris Pleckas was taught a smatter ing of the English language and then did not pay his teacher's bill. Conse quently he has no cash register today. Miss Sadie Harrison was the teacher. Pleckas has the bootblack stand on Sixth street next to the Oregonian building, and yesterday Deputy Constable Klernan seized his cash register be cause Miss Harrison had laid her trou bles before the justice court. Her bill amounted to $10.90. and as the costs will amount to J". 50, the boot shiner will learn that one of the rudiments of the English language Is "pay your debts." Wife-Beater Goes Free. Municipal Judge Van Zante's sentence of six months in Jail In the case of M. M. Wolby, negro wife beater, has failed to stick. Presiding Judge Bron- augh In the circuit court yesterday quickly decided that the lower court had exceeded its authority and that the only sentence that may be imposed for as sault and batteiy is a fine of from 5 to $50 Although the court directed the Im mediate discharge of the prisoner, this ould not be done until noon oecause the record from the lower court was Incomplete. Municipal Court Clerk Mil ner had failed to send up a transcript of Judgment and this had to be supplied before the man could be released. KITTITAS TO PROFIT FROM LOCAL ROADS M M.
