THE MULTNOMAH PORTLAND'S GRANDEST HOTEL AGITATORS CHANGE FLAG Absolutely Fireproof 14 SOAPBOX ORATORS is l ft I. W. W. Disturbers Also Parading TJnder Xew Xante Mayor Albee Penies Giving- Woman "Special Authority" to Speak. Street speaking; by I. W. "VV. agi rtators in Portland, which had about ceased to be a source of excitement, was transferred actively to a new lo . callty last night through the advantage taken by Mrs. Mary s Schwab, of Chi cago, and fellow Industrial Workers, I of orders issued by Mayor Albee on Friday modifying his original order limiting street speakers to the Plaza blocks. In the course of a meeting at Sixth and Oak streets, just within the new peaking limit fixed - by the Mayor, the Schwab woman openly bragged that she was speaking by special au- xnorny or tne Mayor and that no one could stop her. Sha'was not disturbed r by Sherif Word and a force of his . deputies present to see that order was 1 enforced, but when Rudolph Schwab, iher husband. Jumped on the soapbox to talk the Sheriff arrested him. Schwab is under one conviction for previous disorderly utterances at street : meetings, with other charges pending against him. He is out on bail. The Sheriff had repeatedly warned him , that so long as this is the case he will not bo permitted to speak. For ! defying the warning Tuesday night he ' was arrested and released only yes 1 terday morning on $750 ball. Crowd Rushes Officers. As he began to speak last night again in defiance of Word's warning, the sheriff and Deputy Phelan took him off the soapbox. This action came near being followed by a small riot, for men in the audience -of I. W. W.s and radical Socialists crowded" about the officers threateningly. Frank Blehl interfered with Deputy Phelan as the latter was taking Schwab away, and Phelan grabbed him and told him to behave. He then let Biehl go. The latter again interfered and this time Phelan arrested him. In the meantime Charles McDonald created disorder and was arrested by Sheriff Word. As this took place, P. W. McLaughlin, standing in the crowd with his wife, began to talk loudly against Word and his actions. "Do you want some of this, too?'1 asked AVord, stepping up to McLaugh lin. 'You bet I do!" replied McLaughlin belligerently. He took'a swing at the Sheriff with his iist, but Word warded It off and arrested him. This made a total of four arrests for the evening. The deputies made no attempt to atop the meeting itself, but it broke up automatically when Schwab and the other three arrested were taken away to the County Jail. All were locked up for the night. MfaiifleH Drop Near Speakers. Schwab's effort to talk was not the" lirst disturbing factor of the meeting. It had not been in session long before heavy scraps of Iron began to drop now and then on the sidewalk and pavement. They came from above. The pieces of iron were 11 of the tame kind and size, about as large as chestnuts, being apparently the heads of Iron rivets. One missile picked up , by the Sheriff was a piece of rock weighing about a quarter of a pound. Thu Sheriff watched carefully and traced the iron rain to the headquar ters of the Scandinavian Socialists, on the second floor of the building on the northwest corner of Sixth and Oak streets, in front of which the meeting was taking place. Three men sat here in an open window, watching the crowd below. The Sheriff went up and commanded that the target practice at the side walk stop at once. Not another piece of iron was thrown all evening. The Sheriffs action evidently nipped a carefully laid plan of some of those interested In the meeting 1o create trouble and give the impression that the rivet heads were thrown from the Wells-Fargo building, on the south west corner, 100 feet away. When the first missiles fell some in the crowd circulated the story that they were coming from the Wells-Fargo build ing. Agitators Adopt Ken Banner. The meeting last night, though at tended by the same I. W. W. set that nas created all the disturbances in the past, was held under a brand new name and a brand new banner. "The Socialist Labor Party" was the, title taken by the organization holding the meeting, and painted on its banner. There has not previously been any "So cialist Labor Party" here. Since the Mayor's modifying order of Friday, this organization has established head quarters in a hall in Sixth street be tween Oak and Pine. Here the crowd retired when the meeting broke up. Mayor Albee's order of Friday, which superseded the Plaza blocks order and led to last night's meeting, allowed street speaking anywhere outside, of the present automobile or congested down-town district. It permits speak ing south of Yamhill, north of Oak and west of Tenth street. "I did not give Mrs. Schwab or any one else any special permit to speak last night." said the Mayor, "and I expressly told Mrs. Schwab that she was not to go down there and say that I had done so. The only permit of any kind for speaking there Is that con veyed In my general order allowing speaking outside the automobile limits. "I do not intend to rescind this or der, but shall permit speaking in this locality, provided, of course, order and decency are maintained."

Hubbs and Miss Katherine Freeman, members of the Silverton committee. The good behavior of the children while enjoying their holiday must have been remarkable, for every one of the party has a pressing Invitation to re turn next Summer. The youngsters who went away with white, we n faces returned with tan and freckles and sunburn, making them the picture of health. "They -were all so happy, singing all the way up on the train," said Mrs. Hubbs. "At the time for leaving their newly-mada friends in Silverton, they could scarcely keep back the tears. They just wanted to stay." Lots of Goodies Drought Back. Nearly every child brought back enough lunch to last several days. One boy had a sack of hazel nuts he had picked himself, and another carried a whole jelly rolL Grips full of apples and doughnuts and all sorts of goodies were lugged home. Secretary Manning, of the Associated Charities, and a committee from the Junior League met the party at the Bast Morrison-street depot. It took sev eral minutes to sort the grips, bundles and kiddies. The boys and girls all talked at once, trying to tell how happy they were and how good the people of Silverton had been to them. The rosy mist of mem ory of the wonderful outing will color everything for them in a brighter hue for many days to come. Woman to Return to Hop Fields. One of the mothers in the party has decided to go back to Silverton to pick hops and several members of the party have been assured permanent aid from those who entertalned -them. A donation of $1.50 that came in last night was accompanied by a letter which read: "We are at the beach, having lots of fresh air, and get 25 cents a week for bringing up the wood. We send you our wages xto help some other boy to get fresh air." This pre cious sum comes from Tom and Darcy Morgan, and Mr. Manning says he will make it do all the good possible. The next outing will leave for For est Grove tomorrow. XEWBEKG MAY ACT AS HOST Canvass of Dundee to Be Made Also for Children's Visit. KEWBERG, Or., Aug. 6. (Special.) At the meeting of the "Women's Im provement Club of Newberg. a letter was read from the Associated Chari ties in Portland in regard to finding places here ' to take care of children from Portland for a couple of weeks, and Mrs. Hawkes. of Portland, spoke on the subject. A committee was appointed to take the matter up with residents of the country living in this vicinity. A like committee was appointed by the Wednesday Club. An inquiry was made as to whether or not children could be taken in the locality of Dundee, and the reply was of an encouraging nature, though there has been no discussion there in regard to It. It is likely that a canvass of the neighborhood will produce satisfactory results. BLAME FOR DEATH FIXED JAMES HUTCHEXS IS CHARGED WITH KILLFVG.

ARREST INTERRUPTS MEAL Prisoner Refuses to Confess She Is Man, Despite Big Feet and Hands, and Is Released on Ad vice of the Jail Matron. Dolly Van Dora, woman hobo, had a hard time proving that she was a woman last night when diners in the Pittsburg Grill, at Sixth and Stark streets, complained to the police that she was a man masquerading in women's clothes. Police Sergeant Harms took her to the police station, where she stead fastly refused to confess that she was a man. The size of her feet and hands were taken by the police as fairly good proof that she was a man, but they were unwilling to take the responsi bility of locking her up on a charge of impersonating a woman. She was finally turned over to Matron Smith and later was released. Mrs. Van Dorn is 23 years old. pretty, and but for her unusually large hands and feet, which she says she got by working as a man in the hayfields of her native sta'te, Iowa, is attrac tive. Sergeant Harms refused to take her back to the restaurant and explain to the suspicious diners that the suspect was really a woman and she was given a free ride in the police touring car to her interrupted dinner. Mrs. Van Dorn said that she had traveled considerably in men's cloth ing, the custom starting when she was touring Eastern Oregon with her hus band in a camp wagon.

"For the Honor of Lady Beaumont" Is just the sort of picture appropriate to head the bill and satisfy the pa trons of the People's Theater. It con tains a novel plot, gripping situations, and is marked by exquisite costuming, and shows Barbara Tennant at her best. "Bobbie's Baby" is an unusually clever comedy, depicting satirically the objection a good healthy man has to a dog as against a real live, healthy baby. The Weekly was amusing and instructive. The Arcade - Theater presented a strong feature under the title of "The Death Stono of India." The plot deals 2s Z- with the theft of a massive ruby stolen from the National Temple of India, ana, passing through successive gen erations, is finally restored to its re liglous home through love and devo tlon. "The Rivals" furnishes a bit Keystone comedy that provokes a good, hearty laugh. Miss Marie Chapman, the young Portland violinist, played an en tirely new list of selections. The Star programme contained fou unusually strong numbers, .the lead ing subject being "Mona," depicting th life of the earlier Indians in New Mex ico. "A Child's Influence" was another strong and entertaining picture. "A Modern Romance," a clever, light film, while "Mr. Fixer," a brilliant Keystone comedy, topped the bill.
