TITE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1915. HIT FIRST YET MISSING Unknown Lad Who Led Riot After Game in Park De scribed by Witnesses. INJURED YOUTH TESTIFIES Judge CIceton Frees All bat Tbree Before Him After Blame for XUot Laid to Player as Vet Unidentified Doctor Heard. Who was the boy with the red sweater who "slammed Palmer Pad den In the jaw" after the ball game at Lincoln Park last Thursday? This question remained unanswered during an all-afternoon hearing of nine boy rioters before Juvenile Judge Cleeton Tuesday. According to all the boys, the "poke on the Jaw" received by Palmer Padden started the riot In which Patrolman Monish sustained a badly Injured side and back, a park tender was hurt and several boys from Columbia Park were beaten severely. The upshot of the hearing was that Judge Cleeton dismissed all the boys except Fred Siebel. Alex Helzer and Biebel and Helzer boys had pleaded J guilty. Young Spady is held as the lad who wielded the piece of cordwood that nearly fractured several of the police man's ribs. The three will appear be fore Judge Cleeton for sentence Fri day afternoon. - Injured Boy Tells of Fight. Victor Brown, 16. of the Columbia Park team, told his story from the wit ness stand yesterday. He was the most seriously injured of all the boys, and had been carried Into a drug store after the melee. "The first blow struck, if that's what you mean by 'who started the fight.' was when one of the Lincoln Park kids slammed Palmer Padden in the jaw. We was all leaving the park and tried to keep ahead of them, but they followed us. First this boy with the red sweater poked Palmer Padden and then somebody hit Hollister Madsen and then I got a biff on the Jaw. We ran and I was getting away all right, but a little fellow crossed the street and headed me off, and just as we pot to a pile of wood he tackled me, just like football- And thsn I went down and they come up and several of them hit me, and then a big boy kicked me in the side. I don't know who did it. I don't know a one of the Lincoln Park boys. "Pretty soon Mr. Monish got me and tried to take me into a drugstore, and then they swung on him." -'Didn't you hit back?" asked T. G. Ryan, deputy District Attorney. "Sure I hit back, just to defend myself. I'm pretty hot-headed." "Do you think the other boys got mad because you beat them In the ball game?" asked Mr. Ryan. "I think that was what was the matter." "What was the score?" "Twenty-four to six in our favor." "What's the matter, couldn't they play good?" "They couldn't hit our pitcher," re plied Victor, casting a faint smile in the direction of several Columbia Park lads who sat in a front row. Winning Pitcher Introduced. Carl Blizzard, a stocky, little 14-year-old pitcher, was called- next from the Columbia Park contingent. Carl told practically the same story as the others about the melee that fol lowed the game. Dr. John G. Abley, acting city health officer, championed the Lincoln Park boys strongly in his testimony. He did not see the affair, but he lives in the neighborhood and knows nearly every body who lives there. Questioned in formally by Judge Cleeton regarding conditions in the Lincoln Park district he gave some valuable information. "I think the whole trouble arose over racial differences," he said. "I was in the park a few minutes while the game was going on. I heard the Columbia Park boys calling the others Russians. Now we are not all Rus sians out in that neighborhood, but the Russians are among our best citi zens, and the boys don't like to be taunted on national lines. "I don't think that park, since it muse accommodate 1600 children, should be fenced at all. I don't think the po lice department should send a plain clothes officer out there to watch the park. No uniformed officer ever had any trouble out there." THE DALLES GIRL SCREAMS Miss Lang Rouses Neighbors and Police When Lock Is Refractory.

METHODISTS FRAME PLAN OF' MEDIATION Taylor-Street- Mission With Parsonage Deed to. First Church Suggested. ARBITER BODY PERMANENT Nine of 18 Churches of Denomina tion In City Represented at Ses sion Called to Bring Peace Between 2 Congregations. A volunteer body of peace-loving Methodists Is seeking to restore peace ful relations between the warring con gregations of tho First and the Taylor street Churches. The newly formed organization, which proposes to act as arbiter be tween the belligerent congregations, held a meeting at the Sunnyside Church Tuesday night and outlined a plan for adjusting the differences that have held apart the congregations in two hostile camps for several years. In brief their proposal is to use the old Taylor-street property for mission purposes and to vest control In a board of trustees, one member from each of the Methodist churches in tbe city, with the exception of the First Church It is contemplated, also under this Plan, to erect an income-bearing build ing on the Taylor-street lot. but to reserve space in the proposed struc ture to continue the mission work. As a concession to the First Church congregation, the plan proposes to deed the parsonage belonging to the Taylor-street congregation to the Twelfth-street Church. The resolutions had "been prepared previously by a committee which called the meeting and which consisted of the following representatives of various Methodist churches In the city: N. H. Atchison. Rose City Park: C W. De Graff, Woodlawn: H. Gordon, Sunny aide; A. L. Keeney, Centenary; L. B. Malione, Central; J. R. Pearl. Clinton Kelly. Little opposition was voiced to the plan, although M. C. Starr suggested that the Taylor-street site was not suitable for mission purposes. J. Allen Harrison disagreed with him and seem ingly convinced him that there Is con stant need for the elevating influences of a well-conducted mission In the vi cinity of Third and Taylor streets. "I have been in business within two blocks of that corner for the last IS years." said Mr. Harrison, "and I know." Nine of the 18 churches in the city were represented at the conference last night, and it was decided to continue the body as a permanent organisation, with C. W. DeGraff as chairman and Carl A. Carter as secretary. The chair man was empowered to appoint one member from each official board of the various Methodist churches in the city to present the proposed plan to the two congregations and make endeavors to secure its adoption. Tuesday night's meeting was not offi cially sanctioned by the Methodist au thorities, and It was reported that J. W. McDougall, the district superin tendent in Portland, had requested some of the ministers not to read the announcement of the meeting to their congregations last Sunday. "A resolution protesting against the district superintendent's action would be in order." suggested one delegate, but cooler heads counseled discretion and no such action was taken.

STRAIGHT WIUS TITLE WILHELM BEATEN FOR PORTLAND GOLF CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP. State Title Holder Is Off Game, bat Victor Shows Effect of Hard Practice and Deserves to WIeu J. R. Straight, popular golfer of the Portland and Waverley Golf clubs, sprang a surprise Tuesday when he humbled Rudolph Wilhelm. state golf champion, in the finals of the Port land Golf Club championship. Wilhelm was considerably oft his game and his score was 85 for two swings around the new nine-hole course near Garden Home as against 81 for Straight. His driving is usually the strong part of Wilhelm's play and in this depart ment he was noticeably erratic. Straight has practiced assiduously, however, and the victory comes as a reward for faithful priming. His victory is all the more surprising be cause in the recent state championship Straight did not qualify among the first It in the championship flight. He came back strong, beatlna such men as Jordan Zan, and won yie champion- ship of the first flight. Wilhelm win ning the championship. The match yesterday finished on the 16th green, Wilhelm being tbree down and two to go, but they finished the round for medal score. While neither man played sensational golf. Straight negotiated the seventh hole on both swings around the nine-hole course in four strokes. The distance of this hole is close to 600 yards, with a bogey of Ave and a par of four. Last year Wilhelm defeated Straight In the finals for the Portland club title, so the score is now even. SMITH-COWLER BOUT TONIGHT Chance for Corbett's Protege to Win by Knockout Thought Good.
