HARMONICA SAVES LIFE
WANE I, LA'S ESCAPE FROM BtrXj-
11ET IS MIRACCLOCS.
Assailant Who Twice Shot Defender
of Young Woman Escapes With
Sentence to Rockpile.
Loaded witb artillery and ammuni
tlon like a dreadnought, Ed James
appeared in Police Court today to
answer for hla assault upon H.
Wanella on the Peninsula Thursday
night, but because the victim and
captor did not wish to spend time in
court appearances. James escaped with
a rock-pile sentence. Ho was given 80
davs and vras fined 300 by Judge
Tazwell.
It developed yesterday that Wanella's
life was saved by a harmonica -which
he carried in his breast pocket. Alter
the excitement was over he discovered
that the instrument bad been shattered
by a bullet and that a big bruise had
been made on bis breast.
TVben James and his unknown com
panion accosted the woman who waa
accompanying Wanella, the escort
knocked James unconscious. Then be
turned his attention to the second
man. bet James revived and began
firing from a reclining position. One
shot pierced Wanella's cheek, another
struck his arm and the third struck
bis breast but was diverted by the
mouth-harp. Wanella left the second
man and for tbe second time subdued
James, whom he turned over to
Patrolman Sherwood. It is said that
James emptied hla revolver three times
in the scrimmage. He had no explana
tion to meke in court yesterday. The
police are still looking; for the second
man.
WATER METERS PROBABLE
JTew Ru-shlight Board Expected
Favor System for All Homes.
to
Now that A. G. Rushlight has been
elected to serve as Mayor it is believed
that he will appoint a Water Board of
four members who will favor the in
stallation of meters in every house in
tbe city. The present Board, composed
of Theodore B. Wilcox, J. C. Atnsworth
and W. B. Mackay, will resign at the
close of Mayor Blmon's term, June SO,
and the new Board will be Installed in
their place.
Mr Rushlight is known to favor the
meter system and it Is therefore be
lieved probable that he will adopt the
policy of placing them in every house.
The personnel of his Water Board has
not been given out as yet. but it may
be later in the month, perhaps when he
receives the resignations of the present
members, which will be handed in prob
ably after the last meeting of the pres
ent term.

Krohn. astounded everyone with the
ease and exactness with which they
formed first Into one figure only to
revert back into straight lines and take
up other positions. The girls were at
tired in pretty white uniforms trimmed
with red roses and red ribbons. Each
carried a hoop bearing red trimmings.
These also were used in weaving mar.y
complex but pretty designs as they
kept step with the music
Lents school had a drum corps at the
head of its column. The girls were
dressed in white, while the boys wore
white sailor blouses and blue knicker
bockers. The columns of 30 each
locked arms as they marched and
moved from one into another neat for
mations. Boys of Creston school carried a sil
ver cup, won in a recent contest at
the head of their school's ranks. Tne
girls wore wreaths of roses and the
boys white hats and waists. A drum
corps composed of small children and
dressed in white played martial airs.
Woodstock had a drum corps, too.
This school made a pretty showing
with its green trimmings and graceful
marching.
Clinton Kelly school attracted mu:n
attention. A color scheme of green
and yellow was carried out in all the
clothes and hats. A dozen little girls
with yellow parasols won much favor.
Others with yellow butterfly wings at
tached to their shoulders won loud ap
plause. The boys wore green sashes
and locked arms as they marched.
Brooklyn had a most attractive
showing. Every character of the pop
ular nursery tales was represented.
Little Ked Riding Hood, Uncle Sam,
Mother Goose, the Old Woman Who
Lived in a Shoe and all her children.
Boys in their baseball uniforms and
carrying bats, accompanied by girls
with pretty pink rosettes in their hair
and their white dresses trimmed in
pink, were the attractive features of
the Bellwood school.

inal design. A score of girls marched
In -the form of a letter . "A" and an
other group shaped the letter "H," the
initials of the school. They : wore
wreaths of roses and ferns.

were the features that made this dis
play a wealth of beauty.
Rose City Park children wore
wreaths. They kept good step and
made a good appearance.
Richmond had a small number in
line but the proportion of its member
ship represented was high.
The "human rosebud" idea was well
exemplified n Glencoe school. Dresses
of green and rose-colored material and
cut in the shape of leaves and petals
gave the girls an appearance not at all
unlike that of the real Portland flower.
Boys wore white sashes and flowers.
Mount Tabor had a green and white
combination that proved attractive and
brought forth much favorable comment-Drummer
Boy Feature.

formations.

boys wearing red caps and girls with
blue ribbons encircling their heads.

spelled "Highland" in the column that
represented the school of that name.

pearance. Woodlawn boys and girls wore red
caps and green sashes, the striking
feature about them being their uniform
appearance.
Green Principal Color.
"Ockley Green in Lincoln Green" was
on the banner carried before the school
of that name. This school carried out
some clever Ideas in the attire of its
children. Half a hundred boys dressed
like brownies with regulation one-piece
suits and protruding bellies made
everyone laugh. The left-handed drum
mer boy was the "cutest" lad in the
parade. Another corps was made up
to represent archers. They carried
bows and arrows. Fairies in white and
in green made a pretty display

sashed girls wearing green hats. The
boys wore similar decorations.
