Today there are 15 vtry sore heads and two young men in Jail. " - , As on the Mount . Scott line the St. Johns conductors have been troubled with hoodlums who took possession, of the last car and insulted passengers. The -Mount Scott gang was recently broken up. and Saturday night's occur-1 renees will probably put an end to rowdyism on the St. Johns line. Patrolman Small, off duty, was oh the car In company with his wife and another lady. He was finally com pelled to ask the rowdies to behave themselves, but when be reached the flatform to alight at Morris street bad anguage flowed freely. Small slapped one offender and Instantly the entire gang started for htm. Unknown to him, however, Officer I-ieavena and Sergeant Key were on board. The Instant the hoodlums began these officers whipped i out their clubs and took a hand. Then the front door opened and Patrolman Raney, who had just boarded the car appeared in unirorm ana also fully pre pared for battle. For a couple of minutes the interior oi mat car gave an excellent imitation ot. a nanses village struck by a tornado. Instead of mobbing one unarmed man and thrashing him the rowdies found him capable of using his fists and three men who knew how to hit with clubs. Kay was shoved through a win dow, but not cut. Leavens mounted a seat and smashed every member of the gang within reach. The worst of it all was that after George fnomas and William McNeil had been arrested, a candy recentacle. Jerked from the back cf a theatre seat, wa found on Thomas. He declares another boy tore It on and gave It to him. George McCray has been arrested for larceny.

MISLEADING FORECASTS In the dexperate attempt to create discouragement among the supporters o Bryan, the Tat org-ans are publishing false and mis leading: forecasts of the reult in the close and doubtful states. . Apt illustration is afforded by the Oregonian's ierton, baed Bpon pretended canvass, that Oregon will Rive Taft a plurality of over 19.000. There is' no foundation for such a prediction. Re liable reports from every section of the state -indicate that Bryan is'grom-ing- in strength with every day that passes. If every voter who desires his election will go to the py.lt en November 3. Pryan will carry Oregon. The hope of the Taft managers lies in creating apathy and discouragement in the Bryan rant. No man. conversant with the conditions irr th s ttatercan read the Oregonian's forecast of the result by courlies sitri ree' r ng the absurdity f its fijfure.
