Shall Portland-close Its all-night;
picture houses or shall it regulate
the classes of persons who are per
mitted to attend these shows after
midnight, and prohibit women there
from , v ;
Thisj question was raised at today's ses
sion of the city council and it was re
ferred to City Attorney Grant for ad-l
vice on how far -the council may go in
repulatwry measures of this character.
It came to the council's attention,
through a communication, presented
through Mayor Baker, from the Feder4
ated Women's clubs, . stating that the
women have endeavored to bring about
.better conditions at two of the all-night
theatrics, but have failed, and that as a
protection to' womanhood . and girlhood
of Portland the places -be closed after
midnight. ' , , " j
, Mayor Baker state that he also has
received report from the women's pro
tective bureau which are highly unfa
vorable to the all-night show houses as
conducted under , present conditions. It
was 1 stated that Immoral women ; use
thette pi ace a for meeting men and that
young girls are enticed there. .
Commissioner Bigelow 'was in favor of
requiring the places to close at midnight,
if this can be done, while Commissioner
Barbur thought it would be possible to
regulate the classes permitted to attend.
- It was urged that Portland has passed
the country town stage of existence and
must provide night shows the same as
other large cities do, in order to meet
public demand.
-The letter from the president of the
Federated Women's clubs stated that
' the management of the all-night thea
tres had the services of women chaper
on ushers for the after-midnight per
formances, but It was objected that they
did not give sufficient attention to the
- patrons to prevent objectionably, condi
tions. -

taken off and her owners almost de

Finally the word came that she was on
her way up the river again. The editor of
