GETOI.VN" SEES VIOLENT FIRE
Allies' Ships Said to Have Bom
barded at Close. Quarters.
BERLIN, via London. Feb. 1. The
Constantinople correspondent of the
Tageblatt. who witnessed the bombard
ment of the forts at the entrance to
the Dardanelles by the British and
French fleets, send a dispatch dated
noon, February 26, as follows:
"Four hostile warships appeared at 8
o'clock this morning before the en
trance, but the fire against the other
forts was weak. The enemy's mine
sweeping vessels could clearly be seen
among the big armored ships. Nothing
noteworthy happened up to 9 o'clock.
"The bombardment yesterday lasted
fully eight hours. The Anglo-French
f hips bombarded almost uninterruptedly
the outer forts, Orhanle and Kum-Kale,
on the Asiatic side, and Erthogroll and
Sedd-El-Bahr. on the European side,
but were unable to silence completely
any of them, although the ships finally
approached within short range of the
forts and showered them with shells
from their heavy artillery. Sedd-El-Bar
and Kum-Kale particularly were
subjected to a most violent fire.
"In the afternoon I rode with a Turk
ish brigade commander to Kum-Kale
and from a distance of half a mile
watched the gallant fight of the forts
until evening. For hours the flashes
ttoni the It hostile warships which lay
t short Intervals before the entrance
to the Straits could plainly be seen
with the naked eye.
"The Turkish losses were remark
ably small. There were a dozen dead
in Sedd-El-Bahr and Kum-Kale. The
fire from the forts scored good suc
cesses. Several hostile warships, in
rluding the Agamemnon (a British
battleship) were severely damaged.
One ship is reported to have caught
fire." ' I

WORK BEFORE CIVIC LEACIE.
Merits of Bills. Tog-ether With Their
Disposal by Legislature, Are
Discussed at Length.
Work of the recent Legislature was
discussed at a luncheon of the Oregon
Civic League Saturday by L N. Day.
State Senator for Multnomah County,
and Chris Schuebel, Representative
from Clackamas County. Each out
lined generally the work of the house
with which he was allied. Mr. Schue
bel directed criticism at some actions
of the Senate. To this criticism Mr.
Day replied with spirit in his address,
which, followed Mr. Schuebel's.
In mentioning a list of bills which
he declared good and which had been
passed by the House but kllleff in the
Senate, Mr. Schuebel named the anti
lobby bill, the conspiracy bill intro
duced by Miss Towne. the bill for an
appropriation for the Industrial School
for girl's, the bill for the creation of
public utility districts and others.
In discussing the House bills that
had passed and that he considered
constructive legislation, he spoke at
j-ome length upon his own bill amend
ing the workmen's compensation act.
An his own address Mr. Day called
attention to the fact that he advocated
at the session two years ago exactly
the same general measure that Mr.
Schuebel was speaking about.
"Mr. Schuebel and the others might
lust as well have recognized the need
of the points in the bill two years ago.
which they were obliged to come
around to putting in at the present
time." he said.
The bill for state employment agen
cies Mr. Day held to be needless and
not capable of remedying the fix
ations of unemployment that it Is in
tended to remedy, and Inasmuch as
that bill had originated in the Civic
League. Mr. Day met with several re
torts from members of the league In
the discussion after his address.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28. A Chi
nese boycott on all Japanese indus
tries and business houses as a form of
retaliation, it is said, against the de
mands made on the Chinese govern
ment by Japan, has been started in this
city. Already the word has been sent
broadcast throughout the region under
the Jurisdiction of the Chinese Six Com
panies, which includes all the states
west of the Rocky Mountains. ,
t i T n.rnNTaK nniinnfil for the Six
Companies, verified tonight a persistent
rumor that the Doycon iau "
stituted. The legal phases of the boy
cott, he said, had Deen gone Into care
fully by representative Chinese mer
chants, who. when assured of the legal
ity of their cause, took immediate steps
to notify their countrymen to refrain
from patronizing all things Japanese.
Printed literature, advertisements in
Chinese papers and.- other methods of
communication will be used by the Six
Companies in spreading their propa
ganda, which, it is understood, will be
in. the form of a patriotic appeal.
In a quiet way the boycott was
started in various Pacific Coast cities
this week on the understanding that
sanction was soon to be given to the
movement.
San Francisco merchants say that
Japanese goods, so far as Chinese trade
in this city is concerned, are already a
glut on the market. All the big China
town mercantile stores have ceased
handling Japanese-made goods and no
form of Japanese trade is recognized
or patronized by the Chinese. .

the result of a coastwise movement to
punish Japanese for political aggres

Fresno Japanese said tonight that a
statement is now being circulated here
from the Japanese Consul-General in

"What is it?" came from all direc

"A fish is biting my finger," mur

"Stop at Norrtstown," shouted a wise
youth of heartless tendencies. t
But the laugh which fallowed this
stopped with a Jolt, for a real fish
about a yard long flopped along the
aisle and flapped its defiance at the
IippIr and lees of a dozen passengers.
Suitcass, grips and packages rained
about it, but they all missed oy many
inches.
"It's a carp," some one shouted, "if
It bites you. it s poison. Ana tne carp
scurried under a seat Just in time to
miss the foot of a brave rider who
shattered the air.
The fish had barely disappeared when
half a dozen other carp tangoed down
the asile after him. They fell from a
box in one of the racks and Jumped on
seats, laps and shoulders without an
introduction. Women screamed and
escorts looked simple. Who knows
how to fight a fish?
The ministerial man tried to swat
one with a suitcase. His intent was
good, but his aim was bad, and, in
stead of squashing the carp, he struck
a fellow-pasenger, who "kissed the
floor" and broke his glasses.
News of the fish's escapade reached
the brakeman and conductor, and they
Joined the-carp hunt without much suc

Scholes, who were in another car, has

of canes borrowed from the passengers,
managed to corral the carp in one
corner. The fish put up a game light
and ried all kinds of side flaps and
uppercuts before they surrendered.
They were'flnally conquered and packed
in the box from which they had
escaped.
Then the policemen confessed tha
they caught the fish in th.e Schuylkill
