BY M-OTD F. LONEROAS. NEW YORK. June J4. (Special. A mild rival of the Boy Scout has been organised, and already It r.aa ben warmly commended by Mayor Gaynor and officials generally. The name of this society la the Junior Branca of the National Highway Pro tective Society. Its object la to keep children off the streets, and to en courage bravery and other manly Qual ities. There are 100.000 children cow play Inr la the streets of New York." said Colonel Ed-ward Cornell, who Is sec retary of the association. "We hope to b:nd Uiera together In a society. p!edjrfl to obey certain rules. At pres ent the playgrounds of the city are not equal to the demand, but. we expect In time to be able to provide space for alL "Here are the rules to which all members must give their allegiance;. To una the nearest playground; not to play bait or any other game In which missies are thrown on the afreet: to refrain from "hitching" on to vehicles, and from Jumping on snd off street cars, to cross the streets only by cross walks; to help to keep the streets clean, and refrain from throwing paper or refuse, or bulldirlg bonfires on tbe street. These pledges must ba signed by the child and countersigned by the parents. After three months, the child If he or aie has obeyed the rules, will receive a badge and special baces will be awarded for good conduct."

It only took a few dsy's rain to put the water famine scare out of business, and to fill the reservoirs so full thst they are spilling millions of gallons a day over the dams Water Commissioner Thompson baa no reason to feel unhapry because of . the "famine." When the situation . looked serious a while sgo. he request ed the Board of Aldermen to grant h'm an emergency appropriation of 1100.00'), espUlnlng that he wantd Inspectors to visit every home In the city t- notify tenants that they must not waste water. A few level-headed cltlsena pointed out that this was throwing money away. Even If the Inspectors fulfilled their duties faithfully, what pood would tt be to say to a householder. "You must not wast the water,' and to have hlni answer. "Tes. sir?" Kor ss soon ss the Inspector bsd departed he was absolutely certain to do precisely what he pleased. But "public sentiment" waa with the Tammany official fr once, and the Al dermen were practically compelled to give him the appropriation. Following which I0O loyal Tammany men. not taken from the eligible list, were given one month's emergency work at f too a month each, and some of them lid call at tenement-houses.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or, June 24. (Special.) On the anniversary of his 74th birth day.

Professor Hawthorne was born in Lunenburg, Virginia, June 10, 1S37. In the stormy days of 1S61, he enlisted with the 38th Virginia Confederate In fantry and. though wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg, he fought until the surrender of Appomattox Courts house In 1965. During this final strug gle he fought In Pickett's division. Just prior to his enlistment, he had graduated from Randolph Macon Col lege, at Ashland. Virginia, receiving the degree of master of arts. After serving as rr'neipal of an academy in Louisiana, he became president of the West Tennessee College, and In lai4 be moved to Oregon to begin a long and active career-as an educator.

At the commencement exercises a year ago. Professor Hawthorne was honored -with the degree D. L. and was presented with a handsome Morris chair as a mark of the high esteem in which he was held by his fellow pro fessors. He has always been in close touch with the students, who for many years referred to him familiarly as "Buck." For & long time he served as faculty number of the governing athletic council and by virtue of his office as floor manager he has handed out diplomas to many- scores of the present University alumni. In the classroom the professor was always kindly and humorous. His tricks in tho art of psychology are il lustrated by an anecdot which he sprang proverbially upon the new comers, year after year. "What is a blind-pig?" he would query dryly. Invariably the answer came, a place where liquor Is sold unlawfully." "No. ... . . . 'rs.rt' v ho would drawl back good-naturedly, "a blind-pig Is a pig that cannot see." $2500 AWARDED EVANS RAILWAY COMPANY MUST PAY FOR ACCIDENT TO MAX. Plaintiff Injured In Fallirtc; From Trestle at Power-IIotisc Appeal 3ty Ilo Taken. A Jury In Judge McGinn's division of the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon founcj for the plaintiff in the sum of $2500 In- tho case of James Evans against the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company. Evans sued to re cover $30.00i) as compensation for in juries which he received on November 15, 1910, by falling from a trestle at the defendant company's power - house. Water and Grant streets. Evans testified that he was engaged In carrying debris from the Interior of the building, which was then in course of construction, out upon the trestle and dumping it to the ground beneath. Some person threw debris from an upper window and shouted at him to look out. Becoming agitated he attempted to throw the debris in his arms hastily from him, but in doing so a nail caught in his coat and he lurched forward, falling to the eround beneath, a distance of more than 20 feet. Frank Lonergan. attorney for the company, introduced a blue print and witnesses to show that there Is not a window within ten feet of a point directly atbve where Evans was stand ing. v Judge McGinn, instructing the Jury, held that the case comes under the provision of the employers' liability law passed at the last session of tho Legislature. The case may be appealed on this point as the attorney for the company contended that tho trestle is not of the nature of a scaffold or othpr temporary structure erected for men to work upon. SELLWOOD REIXSTATEMEXTS OF TWO 'TEACHERS IS REQUESTED. Mass Meeting of Citizens Takes Ac tion Relative to Dismissal of Miss Hell and Mrs. Rinearson. A protest against the dismissal by the Board of Education of Miss 13. A. Hell and Mrs. II. B. M. Rinearson from the Sellwood public school was made bv Sellwood citizens Saturday night at a mass meeting held in the rooms of tbe ' Sellwood Commercial t luh. A resolution was passed to tho effect that the dismissal was uncalled for. and that the School Board be requested to restore the two teachers to their places. Superintendent Riglcr and members of the School Board refused to give the reason for dropping the teachers from the list, but I. N. Fleischner said it was done upon the advice of the principal and of Mr. Rigler. "These two cases, saiu Jir. r iciscn- ner, "have come up ncanj cveiy juar since I have been on the board." Resolutions were also adopted to the effect that the Water Board ought to restrict sprinkling throughout the city so that districts suffering from a water famine may have a supply for domestic and fire purposes. It was set forth that Sellwood and surroundings, and several other East Side districts, are suffering Intolerable hardships from water ortage, which was attributed to the heavy draw by people sprinkling their lawns excessively. It was decided to petition the aer Board to restrict sprinkling to either alternate days or eliminate it entirely ; until the completion of the second Bull Run pipe line, when there will be . abundant water for all purposes. Re- . marks were made by Walter Adams. Peter Hume. Dr. H. C. Fixott and others to the effect that it was wrong that a district like Sellwood. with 7000 peo ple, and other sections should be suf- r ...oto- ,,-V.bt, nnn!A &11 over l 1T1 1 1 1 ...it. . . - ' ' i r , the city were wasting water. It was unanimously neciaea io on the reinstatement of Miss Hell and Mrs. Rinearson to the Sellwood school, the principal there being blamed for their dismissal. It was declared the sense of the meeting that the two teachers are capable and ought to be restored to- duty and that they have the confidence and support of the peo ple of Sellwood. The following general committee was appointed to take the matter up with the Board of Educa tion: Rev. Vr. A. Thompson, of the Spokane avenue Presbyterian Church; Pr. H. C Fix ott preldent J-vilwood Commercial Cluo, PtiT Hume, prifld-nt Sellwood Bank snil treasurer Sellwood. Commercial Club: Allen R. Jov, Councilman-elect from the hevntri Ward-' J. A. Lehman, F. H. MauJdlng ana J. A. Miller. This committee will confer with the Board of Education and report to the peoplo of Sellwood for further action. It was decided to reorganise the Sellwood Board of Trade, which was dropped last Winder, and J. F. Kertehem was elected temporary chair man and Walter Adams temporary secretary. Officers will be elected next Saturday night. The constitution of the old Sellwood Board of Trade will be used for the new organization. FOURTH TO SEE GAMES CITY PARKS WILL Rf.
