CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS AFFAIRS PETROGRAD MAY BE ATTACKED BY NAVY COPENHAGEN, Sept. 3. German correspondents on the Riga front say that the new offensive, which was mapped out according to a favorite plan of Field Marshal von Hinden burg, had been prepared a long time. Von Hindenburg recently visited the front on several occasions. - The correspondents add that the task of capturing Riga was not diffi cult, ns the bulk of the Russian forces withdrew without resistance. Last week 50 German airplanes were busy In the GuRs of Riga and Finland, bombarding ships, natal batteries and harbors, while several days ago a largo German fleet appeared, consist ing of cruisers, destroyers and sub marines and began a violent bombardment. With Medford trade Is Medford made. The city council met in regular ses sion Tuetday night, with Councllmen Davis, Hargrave, Kecne and Carkin present, Mayor Gates presiding. Keene and Carklh were late, and as their presence was ' necessary to ob tain; a quorum, tho proceedings did not begin until after 9 o'clock. Couu oilmen Emmpns and Gaddis were ab sent, Gaddis being on a vacation. Tho question of a. municipal wood supply was not brought up, and an other holdover matter, that of the city firemen's demand for an Increase in wages from $70 to $80 per month. was, on suggestion of Mayor Gates, referred to the fire and finance com mittees, and It Is expected these com mittees will make their respective re ports at the next meeting of the coun cil, the fire committee on the merits of the firemen's request, and the finance committee on the ability of the municipality to meet their de mand. To Revoke I.lceiLses. ' City Attorney Mears was instructed by the city fathers to prepare an amendment to city ordinances that will confer on the city council author ity to promptly revoke tho license of any billiard or pool hall, or card room or Jitney or Jitneur that has been con victed of violation of the liquor laws This prospective amendment was sug gested by the fact that the city re cently found Itself without legal pow er to revoke the license of a -billiard hall, the owner of which Dleaded guilfy to bootlegging, and the nulli fication of this license had to be exe cuted by the county attorney. As the ordinance now stands such a license may be voided only after conviction on a gambling charge. The fire chief was Instructed by the council to make a list of every shack' and dilapidated building In the city, and to condemn and have de stroyed those that are a fire menace, and to have declared a nuisan.ee and razed those that are unsightly. These shells of structures, tho lawgivers hold, are ugly, unwholesome and un sanitary, and have degenerated Into temporary abodes for itinerants and the less; fortunate 'members' of so ciety. :!,r:i::Mlno lliiSlnew. 'ipj 1 Attorney E. E. Kelly representing Thomas Flynn, proprietor of the Med ford Electric company, pleaded before the council Flynn's right to use a dis tillate pump In front of his place of business on Main street. It appeared that Flynn already has In use a gaso line pump. He wanted also to In stall a distillate pump, but probably half the council has objected to any more stationary pumps on Main streets. Flynn, It seems, then bought a portable pump from which to feed his distillate; and his legal represent ative declared that he had permission to Install- It from Acting Fire Chief Marks, although it developed that such permission could cover only the fire-menace aspects of the practice. Some members of tho council alleged tliat Flynn has not always moved hlsj portable pump back Info his store af.-, ter-serving a customer. The whole matter, wa thoroughly threshed out, but no. action was taken and the prob lem was held in abeyance. Mayori Gates, who, on a tie, may vote, Is said to have no objection to the portable pump. H. F. Wilcox was granted permis sion to conduct a pool room, to be known as "The Oaks." ' A report of the finance committee was submitted by City IJccorder Al ford, adopted by the council and war rants were ordered issued to cover salaries and other municipal obliga tions. . , LABOR IS BEHIND THE GOVERNMENT iti WAR MINNEAPOLIS, Sept.,; 5-. i Labor representatives from all parts pi Ibe country and many .momborS, of tle socialist party, tonight arareail! for; a jjlg loyalty conference. which, begins tomorrow under the auspices of the 1 Ame'Jroan Mlllstafce, !frj fUoj an'cj tfe- mocracy. ;an orsqiiiwuiHi i "u weeks !agi for (he "purpose df 'stamp ing out disloyalty and solidifying labor behind the government.
