When an at tempt was made to eject a noisy party of Sicilian fishermen from a waterside cafe and dance hall last night there was a riot, in which seven men and a dancing girl were stabbed or slugged. Rosario Marillo so badly that he may die, and two arrests were made. Fire Prevention Day, set for April 18, is already arousing a warm public interest. The request of Arthur M. Churchill, chairman of the Oregon Civic league's committee on fire pre-! vention, for suggestions as to fire pre vention measures, remedies for exist ing conditions and fire experiences. Is meeting with an enthusiastic response. Carelessness seems to be the key note of the whole fire question. For this reason Mr. Churchill proposes to collect all the Information possible that one man's experience may be an object lesson for others. Out in Irvington, for instance, it is pointed out, there is a man who al lowed rubbish to collect near the aah-. pile in his basement. He won't do it again. He knows better now. A certain Portland hotel permits waste paper and rubbish to collect near the foot of its elevator. A match dropped or cigarette might Ignite the pile. In a few seconds the shaft would be a chimney of fire, the hotel in flames and the result, perhaps, the loss of many lives. Prom another source comes the story of "a Janitor at a local school putting hot b shea on the wooden floor of a closet. Only prompt discovery and Immediate response of the fire depart ment prevented a bad fire. It is to quicken the sensibilities of the public to the dangers of careless ness that Fire Prevention Day has been declared. It Is believed that the public needa waking up to the danger of apparently little and insignificant actions. In order to have as much material as possible to lay before the puUic, those in charge of the fire prevention propaganda ask that persons having suggestions to make or experiences to relate write to Arthur M. Churchill. 1229 Northwestern Bank building, chairman Oregon Civic league commit tee on fire prevention.

Public regulation is usually the fore runner of public ownership. , The public is not yet i ready for pub lic ownership of revenue producing utilities, observed Mr. Hild. Utilities that have to do with health and sani tation should he publicly owned, he added, mentioning water works, garb age collection and disposition. There are many times whjen. with reasonable rates and efficient regula tion, private ownership may be an economy, but there is only one thing to do when rates are high and regula tion inefficient, and that Is take over the utility, said Commissioner Daly. accept a reconciliation with him.
