MOB RULES FOR TWO HOURS Arrest of White Man for Assaulting Negro Is Signal for Fighting. Army of Police Has Hard Struggle With Mob. NEW TORK, July 14.' 'San Juan Bill," the. district bounded by Amster dam and "West End avenues and Sixty first and Sixty-third streets, so-called because of its notoriety as a battle ground, was the scene tonight of a furious race riot which required 250 policemen to quell, after many shots liad been fired and several persons had been seriously injured. The trouble began shortly aftor 3 o'clock, when a policeman arretted Edward Connelly for attacking Henry Williams, a negro, and was pursued to the station-house by a mob of Cop nelly's friends, hurling showers of etones and other missiles. When lh ctation-house reserves turned out, tl. whole neighborhood was in an uproar, and whites and blacks" engaged in desperato struggle. Torrents of mi plles were hurled from roofs and win dows. Within ten minutes not less than a thousand men. boys and women, black and white, were engaged in a furious combat. Missiles Rain From Roofs. The small party of police were pow erless, and reinforcements were sum moned. On their arrival, a cordon was drawn around the whole district, and Btrong patrols made repeated charges 'down the streets In a vain effort to re store order. They succeeded in making a few prisoners and were forced to re treat, fighting every inch of the way. and pursued to the station-house by a howling mob. The worst of the fighting was in Sixty-second street, where from every window and roof rained missiles, while, hundreds of shots were fired. Rounds man Patrick Walsh was knocked down by Jesse Smith, a negro, who leaped upon him and, after attempting to shoot him, struck him repeatedly with the butt of his revolver. Walsh was finally rescued by his comrades. Inspector McLaughlin arrived short ly before 10 o'clock and, realizing how widespread was the danger, sent hurry calls for reserves from as far north as One - Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and as far south as Leonard street, from;lhe East Side and from the West Side. In all there were, more 'than 250 men under command of the inspector within 20 minutes. Rioters Driven From Houses. Squads of men were sent along the roofs of the houses In Sixty-second street, where the fighting seemed heav iest They walked from West End avenue to Amsterdam, clearing the roofs, and found that many chimneys had been torn to pieces to furnish am munition. More arrests were made, and several whites and negroes were rescued from gangs of assailants, but. desultory combats continued. Inspector McLaughlin and Captain Gallagher, while passing through the mob, res cued Michael Jacoby, a white man, who was being beaten by two negroes. Cars Wrecked and Deserted. The rioting spread to Fifty-seventh street and to Sixty-eighth street, al though the hardest battles were fought between Sixty-first and Sixty third street. For more than half an hqur cars on- the Amsterdam-avenuo line were blocked. Colored men, pur sued by whites, took refuge on cars as they passed and were followed by showers of bricks and stones as they fled. Every window in many cars were "broken and passengers took shelter in neighboring houses. Conductors and .motormen hid under seats, leaving the cars to the mercy of the mob. Commissioner McAdoo arrived at U o'clock and made a tour of the battle field, the fighting by that time having ceased. He said the riot could not have taken place had not the rougher element been permitted to carry arms. They appeared to have a regular ar senal of weapons. Scores. Are 'Injured. In all, seven whites and two negroes had their injuries attended to, but scores of others' less seriously hurt, were taken to their Homes by friends. Five whites and six negroes, among them women, were arrested. A picked body of 30 policemen was detailed to occupy the disturbed region during the night. Boy Bridegroom Sent to Jail. KALAMAZOO. Mich.

AWAKENING OF JAPAN. Survivors of Perry Expedition .Cele brate Great Anniversary. NEW YORK, July 14. To commemorate the 52d anniversary of Commodore Perry's landing at Kushlma, Japan, a reunion of the survivors of the expedition was held tonight at the home of W. M. Spelden, who was a purser's clerk on the flagship Mississippi.

EDITOR KEEPS HIS SECRET REFUSES TO TELTi WHERE HE GOT BOODLE CHARGES. Wardman Defies New York Legisla ture When Questioned About Article on Judge Hooker. ALBANY. July 17. Evin Wardman, editor of the New York Press, who was summoned tt answer in regard to an article In that paper intimating that "boodle" and "corruption" were being used to secure Justice Hooker's ac quittal, was a witness today at the trial of Judge Hooker, before the joint legislative session. Mr. Wardman was questioned by Senator Brackctt, chair man of the Judiciary committee. He said he was unable to state who was the author of the objectionable article, since he was out of town when the ar ticle was written and he did not In quire the writer's name after receiving the subpena. Mr. Wardman gave a detailed explanation of how copy is handled In a metropolitan" newspaper office, but said nothing that shed any light upon the source of the' article under discussion. Mr. Wardman declined to give the names of persons who had given his paper Information which led Its edi tors to expect that "nothing would come" of the Hooker trial, explaining that to do so would violate the ethics of his profession. Mr. Wardman per sisted in his refusal to answer, and tho Joint assembly by a vote of 9G to 23 di rected the witness to answer. Mr. Wardman still refused to answer, say ing: "f refuse to commit that dishonor." but he gave the substance of the. In-, formation. . . "We were told," said he, "that very strong pressure would be brought to exonerate Judge Hooker, particularly by a certain corporation." Questioned further, he said that the corporation was the Delaware & Hud son Company. Asked if he would undertake to bring the Legislature the desired In formation, the witness replied that he would taik with his managing editor over tho telephone, and if he divulged the names desired, he (Wardman) would give them to the Legislature. "1 shall not direct him to give me the names," said the witness, "I'll aak him." John B. Stanchfield moved that the In vestigation be discontinued, on the ground that the prosecution had failed to prove Its case. Lieutenant-Governor Bruce denied the motion. Mr. Stanchfield complained bitterly of the newspaper crit icism of his client. "He has not been given even the fair treatment of a com mon criminal," said the counsel. WANTS NEW KING SET UP Visit of Fleet to Sweden Will Bo Demonstration for Monarchist Prlncfple Oscar Advised to Appoint King. BERLIN. July 14. Special.) According to competent opinion here, and In spite of official denials of any alliance, the visit of the Kaiser's fleet to Swedish ports amounts to a demonstration In favor of monarchical government in Norway. Like other sovereigns, the Kaiser is shocked by King Oscar's unceremonious dismissal, which is a blow to the monarchical prin ciple. Already In March, when the dis position for the fleet's Summer maneu vers Included a visit to Norway, the Kaiser, in view of the union trouble, said: "1 know that tho Swedes would feel uneasy over these unavoidable demon strations. As far as I am concerned, therefore, both my cruise ln the Hohen zollern and the visit of my fleet to Nor wegian waters must be abandoned." After the repudiation of the union by Norway, the Kaiser decided that both vis Its should be paid to loyal Sweden. At yesterday's meeting at Gene, It is believed the Kaiser tried to persuade King Oscar to do his utmost for a mon archical solution of the crisis, cither by allowing the candidature of one of his sons or by Inducing King Christian to ap point a Danish Prince. The Danish can didature appears at present the most probable solution. At any rate, the Ger man naval demonstration will teach the Norwegians to avoid a republic. ROBBED EDISON COMPANY Ex-Employo In.

Cape Cod, say that Major-General Leonard Wood has Just undergone the delicate surgical operation of trepanning to remove a bonv crowth on h! Vim ri The operation. It Is said, was entirely successful, and the General is making rapid progress toward recovers'. The operation was made necessary by a mtehap several years ago. when Major General Wood received a severe blow on the head by accident. A swelling devel oped, but surgeons were soon able to de termine that It was not of cancerous growth, and not In the least likely to have any permanent ill-effects. Many Inquiries, it Is said, have come from Washington since the operation, to all of which there has been returned the answer that everything was progressing satisfactorily. ALLIANCE NOT PROPOSED. But Kaiser May Have Talked of It With Oscar. BERLIN. July 14. The substance of the statement made at Stockholm yesterday to the effect that a German-Swedish al liance was seriously contemplated was submitted to the Foreign Office here to day, and the statement was made that the question of an alliance between Germany and Sweden had never come before the Foreign Office, nor had it been discussed to the slightest extent. Of course, the Foreign Office could not deny that Em peror William and King Oscar may have spoken of an alliance during their inter view at Geflc yesterday, because the sub jects of their conversations are not known here. No Indication of the result of tho meet ing between Emperor William and King Oscar at Gefle, Sweden, yesterday, has reached Berlin, nor is any report of their conversation likely , to be made public, as it Is explained here that this was a strictly private visit of one sovereign to another. The German Government's policy, as the Associated Pres9 Is Informed, is one of complete aloofness almost of Indif ference. It is expected here that as a result of the meeting yesterday Emperor William and Germany will be described in some countries as taking undue interest in Scandinavian affairs and In seeking for a way to Influence a settlement. Such an Idea is disavowed in advance. Professor Konrad Bornhak. an authority on international law. discussing the ques tion whether King Oscar Is still King of Norway or not, says a definite reply can not be given. He Is still King of Nor way, according to the constitution of Sweden, but according to the constitution of Norway, he has ceased to be King of Norway, but there is no doubt as to the propriety of King Oscar styling himself King of Sweden and Norway. James II. after he had been deposed as King of England and while a guest of Louis XIV. of France, continued to call himself King of France as well as King of England, although France had been lost to the British crown since the time of Henry VI. Emperor Francis Joseph today, as the Austrian coinage shows, calls himself King of Lombardy and Ven ice although he Is a friend of King Vic tor Emanuel and King of Jerusalem, without the Sultan of Turkey, having ob jected. The Russian Emperor names him self Duke of Schlcswlg-Holsteln and Duke of Oldenburg without offending Germany. The Russian Emperor also calls himself the heir of the King of Norway. LET CHARLES TAKE CROWN Danish King and Cabinet Agree on Acceptance. COPENHAGEN. July 14. At today's Cabinet meeting it developed that the Ministers were In full agreement that King Charles of Denmark should accept the crown of Norway. If King Oscar and the other courts most nearly concerned expressed their approval. King Chris tian and the o'thcr members of tho Dan ish royal family arc also favorable to Prince Charles becoming King of Norway. OUR PIANOS Attract attention, not only at the Lewis and Clark Pair, out also at our spacious warerooms, where we show the largest and most attrac tive line in the city. Never in the history of Portland have the people had an opportunity to see such an array of fine Pianos as can be seen at our booth at the Lewis and Clark Fair (the only Piano exhibit there) the various state and public buildings, and at our city warerooms. That our Pianos have been selected by the management for the different buildings proves beyond a reasonable doubt that we are the leaders in what is best in piano con struction. Our aim has always been to furnish the best the market affords, and the recognition we have received from the Pair management and musicians recently, demonstrates that our efforts have been appreciated. Wc appreciate the high position we hold in the confidence of the people, and, in order to make the bestj in a busi ness way, of the opportunity present ed by the Fair, wc are making a sub stantial reduction on all our Pianos, which means a saving o the middle man's profit, in order to get our Pianos more thoroughly represented throughout this Northwest territory. Now is an opportunity to secure a good Piano at the price of a cheap one and at the same time pay for it on our easy-payment plan. For the convenience of visitors to the Fair and others who cannot call conven iently during the day, we have ar ranged to keep our store open eve nings till fl o'clock. Drop in any evening and Ave will be pleased to show you through, besides entertain vou with some music. . ALLEN & GILBERT-RAMAKER COMPANY, Corner Sixth and Morrison.
