Slore than 50 persons participated in the riot, most of them eaia to be Lin coln Park youths opposing1 the police man and the small Columbia Park dele gation. Patrolman Monisch asserted that he would have fired on the mob with his revolver but for the fear of wounding small children in other parts of the park. Four boys were arrested by the police later. Columbia Parle Bar Attacked. The riot started, the police assert, after the Columbia Park delegation had defeated Lincoln Park. The pro gramme consisted of a baseball game early in the evening, followed by a basketball game in the twilight. According to Patrolman Monisch's story, the mob attacked the Brown boy, who was a member of the Colum bia Park crowd. The-officer says that the mob threw young Brown down on a woodpile and began beating and kicking him. The boy lost two teeth from a kick in the mouth. Patrolman Monisch hastened to the rescue. Scarcely had, the officer ar rived, he says, when some one hit him on the right side of the neck with a stone. As the officer turned to meet this attack, one of the mob hit him in ' the hack with a' slab of cordwood. Patrolman Geta Aid, The officer staggered, but kept his feet, and was able to draw his gun and club. The mob surged forward, the patrolman says, and he was about to be swept down, when Mr. Bradford pushed his way through the crowd to the officer's aid. Patrolman Monisch thrust his club into Mr. Bradford's hand. The two stood back to back, according to reports, and fought back the mob until they desisted. At one time Mr. Bradford, according to the police, was thrown down and tram pled, but regained his feet and con tinued the struggle. After the fight the police took young Brown to a drug store, where he received emergency treatment. Later the boy was sent home. Patrolman Monisch took a car to the rolice station, where Assistant City Physician Lawton dressed his wounds. The officer had no broken bones, the physician said. Later Monisch led a squad of police iu tuts viunuLy ul lue iigni, ana tour alleged rioters were arrested. War rants will be sworn .out for other al leged members of the gang today. Those arrested last night were W. M. leager, 17; "William Laisner, 16; Fred fceigler, and George Wedenkeller. and Lyrio theaters, and. minuet and Spanish dances were given by children. The crowd bought ice cream, candy and cigars and ate ham sandwlshes and drank coffee from tables artistically placed beneath the firs that dot the spacious grounds. A small stage, built for permanent use, was constructed from iumOer do nated by the Fast Side Lumber Com pany; festoons of electric lights of va ried colors were loaned by the M. J. Walsh Company, and even the electric ity consumed during the course of the evening was a donation from the Port land Railway, Light & Power Com pany. Cakes, hams, cigars, lemons and candy were given by women of the dif ferent parishes and business houses to help swell the maintenance fund cf the Home for the Aged. The Mount St. Joseph Home has been in its present location since 1901. It takes care of all who apply for admis sion, taking, however. Just those who are more than 60 years of age. If the men and women , who seek admission to this Institution are able to pay some of their maintenance, the money is not refused, and if they are unable to pay, they are received with. the same grace. It was to take care of those who come to the home penniless that last night's entertainment were given. The committee, headed by J. P. Mc Entee. reported the sale of more than 4000 tickets, and with the receipts from the various booths, the home to day Is several hundred dollars richer.

CITY PROBE IS ORDERED EAST SIDE BUSINESS MEN'S CLt'B CALL FOR STIDY OF FINANCES. Rigid Economy at Every Point, Reduc tion of Employed Force and Fewer Autos Demanded. In accordance with a resolution adopted Thursday night at the meeting or the last bide Business Men s Club, I M. Lepper. A. L. DuPuy and M. B. McFaul were appointed a special com mittee to investigate the economlo con ditions of the city government for the information of the club. This committee was made a perma nent one. It will ascertain whether the city government is conducted as economically as possible in view of the present financial condition, the number of men employed in the de partments, what their salaries are and where increases have been made and for what purpose, whether new offl cers have been appointed, and whether reductions can be made or salary in creases are justified. The committee was authorized to confer with other civic organizations of the city and obtain their co-operation in this move ment for more economy in city admin istration. Mr. McFaul called attention to the increase of salaries of city employes. and criticised the creation of new of fices at a time, he said, when the taxpayers are compelled to economize in every direction. He said that the salaries of officials in the department or public works had been increased, and an assistant fire chief had been appointed, increasing the expenses of the city administration unnecessarily at this time. The expense of automo biles and equipment was referred to as excessive and decided curtailment favored. "Commission government advocates premised to give us economic city . government, declared L. M. Lepper, "but the facts are our city government is costing more than ever before. At a time when few public improvements are under way a greater force is em played than when public improvements were active. We have a right to ex pect and demand rigid economy in city artairs, ana we are not getting it. The club decided tentatively to hold the annual picnic August 26, and the place selected was Oswego. The date and place are subject to change. BENEFIT FOR AGED GIVEN Mount St. Joseph Open-Air Show Draws Throngs. .

De claring that the work interfered with his duties as Insurance Commissioner. Harvey Wells today notified Circuit Judge Galloway that he would not serve as receiver of the Horticultural Fire xlelief of Oregon, the Oregon Mer chants' Mutual Fire Association and tha Pacific Home Mutual Fire Insur ance Company longer than August 1. As a result of assessments on policy holders oy order of the court. Mr. Wells has received several abusive let ters, although his services harebeen gratis. In his letter to Judge Gallo way, Mr. Wells says in part: As you know, I have served without compensation, and simply felt that as Insurance Commissioner it was my duty to represent the policyholders, and by doing so I could operate receivership at the smallest possible expense. How ever, it is apparent that many attor neys and former agents of these mu tual companies are advising the policy holders, which has caused so much correspondence that I am unable to give the assignment proper attention. It is estimated that the cost of wind ing up the affairs of the company with a receiver working upon a per centage basis will be about $400 more a month than the cost has been with Mr. Wells serving as receiver without remuneration. $85;0C0 LOT SALE MADE Two Properties on Vest Side Bought by Englishman.

EXPERTS DIFFER ON HOIST Ability of Oregon City Water Plant to Handle Lift Questioned. OREGON CITY. Or.. July 23. (Spe cial.. (jonmcting opinions from ex perts on the effect that the operation of the municipal elevator will have on the city water system have been re ceived by City Engineer Miller since the project was completed several months ago. Hydraulic engineers tell him that 60,000 gallons of water dally will be needed to operate the lift. . By the taotics of "watchful waltinar" the City Council now has a water boaro. willing to make the connections to the city mains.

In the ?ime?C0OM a detalIe atatistlcal sys le in Holland, it is impossible to say g?nnienari-y afc"rat the figures given in English and French publica tions respecting the effect of the war on Imports and exports. The truth, according to the Depart ment of loreign Commerce in The Hague is that nobody ever knew pre cisely how much or how little Holland ....poriea or exported. Holland is a free trading country. A few items like tea pay 4 or o per cent duty. Otherwise "Kucany everything can n hrn,i.ht nto the country free of duty. Of the uiai amount or imports Holland never eo more than a tenth part. Most r the trade waa of t.--,-i. . .. From all parts of the world goods were brought to Dutch ports and ., on by rail to Germany, Russia, Aus- aa swiuerlana. Statistics Not SttnM. Statistics of exports were kept, but ince nobody dreamed of - . v i . v. would upset the entire fabric of mod .J6' hey. wero not ke't ,n detail. - mini amount or goods which rossed the Dutch frontier lnt fi.i-- man1.y. Wa" never Pcifically mentioned. This caused a curious situation at the outbreak of the war. The govern ment knew in a general way how much it imported. It also knew in the same vague fashion the total amount of ex ports. By subtracting one from the other it expected to arrive at the amount of grain and wheat and beer and butter which remained in Holland ior xne consumption of the people. Sta tisticians, however, do tint t obey the laws of mathematics, for it xouna mat the Dutch people con sumed much more than the dlf foronc which was the result of this official subtraction. Food Problem Has New Phase. Statisticians are seriously workins upon the problem, but the war has upset every established way of living to such an extent that the problem is not an easy one. For examnle. Inatrid of feeding an urban population doing chores In offices and living the lives oi cierxs, tne government now has to feed half a million soldiers doing hard labor at digging and marching, and the entire diet has been upset. Then the Belgian refugees have come into the country by the hundreds of thou sands (nobody knows exactly how many) and they eat different things irom what the Hollander does. In other ways the Dutch statistics as printed in the British and French papers do not give a clear idea of what actually happens. It is often claimed that the imports from America have increased by leaps and bounds. This is quite true. In the first place, the old import route by way of Hamburg, Bremen ana the other German ports has been entirely stopped. These ports are blockaded and no ships .can enter. Although the British and French ports are open, the war regulations Qf these countries do not allow any exports to foreign countries, and all the many materials which formerly came from France. England and Germany now have to come exclusively from Amer lea. Food Smuggling; Tnlra Discounted. The stories of large amounts of food stuffs being smuggled Into Germany across the Dutch frontier are entirely discounted by the Department of Com merce. It is true that potatoes have gone into Germany, but they were not on the contraband list and they went in small quantities, just sufficient to break the potato corner which some German speculators had brought about. According to French newspapers, every sack of potatoes sold to Germany meant the lives of 60 French soldiers, According to the Germans, it merely meant the breaking up of the corner and a fall in the price of potatoes from 8 marks a bushel to 2 marks 20. The accusations of the allied press against Holland's refusal to assist In the starvation of Germany and Austria are made possible by the faulty sys tem of statistics mentioned before, and the first measure of the Dutch govern ment after the war will be the estab lishment of a most minute statistical bureau, so that every potato, every mustard seed and every pot of Jam can be closely traced from the moment it enters the kingdom until it disap pears into a Dutch household or finds its way anroao. Many of them camaSjr motor and nearly 600 arrived by special train from Bos ton and Qulncy. Fully SO automobiles were lined up at the station waiting to carry them to the Stone estate, five miles distant- Fortunately the rain, which inter fered somewhat with the departure of the guests at Boston, held off here until all had reached the Stone estate. The ceremony took place In the large oak hall of the mansion, the Rev. Dr. William H. Lyon, of the First Unitarian Parish Church of Brookline. officiat ing. Ropes of Carolina vine and moun tain laurel were twined about the over hanging balcony of the hall and ar ranged to form a. bower at the eastern end. where the wedding party stood during the service. Large gold trum pet vases of white roses and sprays of white orchid and trellised boxes of Carolina vine stood at either side. The wedding party approached from the winding staircase through an aisle of white ribbons and tall vases of roses, placed along the way by the six ushers. The bride's father gave her in mar riage. She wore a gown of white satin and tulle, with a court train. Her veil of real lace was caught with orange blossoms and she carried a shower bouquet of orchids and lilies of the val ley. Her maid of honor. Miss Natha lie Cumner, of Commonwealth avenue, Brookline, was gowned in blue gres-de-lendres silk and wore a hat of lace and gray straw with long blue stream ers. The bridesmaids. Miss Edith Stevens, of Beacon street, and Mies Constance Kellen. of Commonwealth avenue. Boston, wore frocks of pink silk and carried old-fashioned nose gays. Miss Barbara Stone, the bride's younger sister, who was flower girl, was in white muslin over pink silk, and ahe scattered forget-me-nots and pink roses from her basket in the path of the bride.

Every one of the more than 1100 mall boxes and their supporting posts in roruana wnicn. be It remembered, now includes St. Johns and Llnnton will be dressed up in the next few weeks with a coat of green paint. This is the purport of an order from Washington received yesterday by Postmaster Myers, instructing him to call for bids for the painting. Green, the same color as at present. Is speci Once upon a time mail boxes In Portland were painted red. After ex posure for a few months to Winter sou'westers and mist, the red faded Into a sort of old brick color, which was pleasing neither to the public nor the Postoffice Lepeartment. Then the experiment of aluminum paint was tried. It was found to rust quickly and to be generally unsatisfactory. f many green was adopted, and that color hos proved to have the best weathering qualities and to give the best protection against rust. So green is now tne man box standard. Specifications for the work are posted on the bulletin board In the poetoffice building, and any additional informa tion desired by prospective bidders may be obtained from the postmaster. BABY WOLVES MINUS TAILS 300 Neighbors Are Suspected in Case of Amputation. BUFFALO. N. T.. July IS. Three Lost Tails might suitably be Inscribed on the abode of tho family of wolves which is interesting the public at Park Zoo these days. Suspicion regard ing the loss .of these appendaecs has fallen upon the neighbors of the wolf family, weighing most heavily upon the gray halfbreed on the left. Who ever Is guilty, the fact of the loss hai been a dreadful warnigr to the losers, the three baby wolves. As the railway crossing signs warn the motorists to approach a Riven point carefully, so those lost tails warn three baby wolves not to lean carelessly against the rail lng which separates -them from a car nivorous neighbor. Notwithstanding their fluffy appear ance. which resembles that of a babv collie, the bereft infants have already some of that profundity ot, expression wnicn bears witness to the bitter ex periences of life. Possessed of parents whose Interest In their own offspring is but shallow, the cubs have been left from their birth to learn by chance about the world's pitfalls and temp tations. No one had told them that UDon Diln of amputation, must they keep all parts of their anatomies within the limits of their own csge. How could they know that, when they tried to squeeze their fat bodies backward between the bars separating them from the house next door. that they would experience strange twinges .which would send them scurrying in fright to their parents? "Where are your tails?" the eyes of tneir parents coldly demanded, and the three children, being very young and too round to look behind themselves. could only shake their heads miserably and say they knew not. Berenely, as those who know that these simple c cldcnts are all In a lifetime, the mother and father wolf closed their eyes one ore in sun-bathed sleep and left the infants to console themselves. A. different condition exists In the fox family nearby, where the head of the family is the slave of his children He Is in constant use, as a pillow, or a high place upon which to stand and look out over the universe. He never escapes his family. If he retires to a quiet corner for a solitary nap, they trot after him and stretch themselves upon his back. If he mounts on top of his cave, they crawl upon him and after standing a few minutes to watch tha human beings penned In. the drive way, they curl up comfortably on father and dream.
