accommodate only a fraction of those
who applied Jor places to sleep. The
Salvation Army and other charitable

As many as could be cared for were
allowed to sleep in the police stations.
About 20 were bunked In the morgue.
It was so cold that the hungry could

with Colonel Burr, acting chief of en

of a dredge at the mouth of the Co-

by J. N. Teal of Portland, and the
position of the department was stated
by Colonel Burr and Colonel Taylor
aa roiiows:
First The vital matter in the pro!

ana the securing at this session of con

occurred here early today between he
police and throngs of anti-tax rioters.
It was the third day of disorder, fol
lowing parliament's refusal to censure
the government for the grafting re
cently discovered in the navy. The
trouble reached a climax some time
after midnight when a detachment of
500 police undertook to disperse a
crowd of many thousands, gathered to
hear perhaps a score of speakers de
nounce the squandering of the money
wrung from the people by literally
crushing taxation.
The throng showed fight. Again
and again the police charged, . wield
ing their sabres remorselessly. The
rioters resisted with clubs and paving
stones, torn from the streets where
the battle raged. In the end the crowd
was scattered, but not until a large
number had been Injured, 200 were
under arrest and scores of shop fronts
in the vicinity had been demolished.
