Leader Is Arrested. ' At noon a delegation of women had gathered in front of police headquar- Meetiny at l:4o yesterday afternoon, ihe senate came down the home stivteli at top speed, and there was not a break until house bill .V", providing a bond issue of six million dollars for road con struction came up. anil then there was a tight on. It ragi d fiercely for some time. Olson advocating the measure as a leader, and Pierce attacking it. There vere some dramatic situations, but too many to be described. Olson ottered sev eral amendments which were adopted, and I'ieiee on the question of final pas sage made a Iritter attack on it. He said it was "bitulithie day," and stat ed that the reason for rushing the bill to an early vote by the people was be cause the patents hold by the Warren construction company would soon ex pire, and it was necessary to get at work at once in order to save that com pany its royalties. One patent he said would expire this year, another in IM8 and still anothei in 100. He read a s atement from an attorney in Wash ingtoiO to this effect. After a really brilliant speech of twenty minutes, he in closing said, "Yon can send this measure to the people, but your s. heme will be snowed under and the bonding issue will be buried out of sight." He had a millage tax bill which would pro duce about a million dollars a year, and he believed the people would suppott that measure if it was nlnccd on the ballot along with the bond issue. The debate took a wide range and a dozen ior more took part in it. Among other things that Pierce stated however was What "The senate had received its or lilers from the Oregonian in a long edit (mini that morning not to submit his millage measure along with the bond I proposition and it was responding to I the cracking of the whip." The bill passed. There were several small skirmishes 'after this but it was the main battle. I Later a bill was passed in the house land also by the senate calling a special! 'election for dune fourth at which 'all measures submitted to the people should be voted upon. The bill appropri ating money for the supreme court causet I n small fight because the lav of' the stenographers had been cut from $1200 to $1000 but the senate stood by the committee.

It was finally passed One "f the last bills was 567, "provid ing for paying for one dead cow and an other injured one." Another bill that got through with the items stricken out by the wavs and means committee re- House bill 170, appropriating $2(1,000 for Tumalo project was also pushed at the last minute. After getting through with the bus iness of passing on bills the senate had a free and easy two hours waiting lor 'action by the house on amended house I bills and there was all kinds of fun. 'The work may be Mid to have ended when Senator Orton, walking up to the ; I resident 's desk accused him of having acted unfairly, treated the members with all kinds of contumely and wound up by saying they had forgiven him land as a token of this, presented him , beautiful silver set.

Moderate gains were in evidence at the opening on all grains, but with the exception of .May wheat, none continued the upward trend con sistently.

At the same time the police received word that two thousand additional wo men were forming in Kutgers Square to march to the city hall. A serious outbreak was threatened when Marie (Jan, was arrested after the main body of women had been dis pcrsed, The' crowd in the city hall park by this time numbered thousands. "Sweet Marie" has been indentifled with agitators here and the police quickly sought to separate her from the women demanding food. She was hurried to the police no cinct station in the city haft and then into a patrof wagon. Sighting her in the wagon, the women made a rush for it, yelling, screaming and demanding her release. A line of police was quick ly formed to stop the on-rushing women and the patrol whisked away. How the Trouble Started. The trouble slatted in Williamsburg when a woman, -unable to pay the price demanded for onions, put her shoulder to the pushcart and tipped it over. Tn a moment hundreds of women were on their knees scrambling for the potatoes 'anil onions. The contagion of the tight for food spread and soon other ' chi ts were in the street and the ped idlers fleeing. Kerosene was thrown on some of the carts and in some in stances they were set afire. Later two thousand residents of one district assembled in muss meeting to hear the peddlers' side of the case. One man declared he made but twenty 'cents on a barrel of, potatoes thut cost I him $10. The dealers charged they were al ! lowed to purchase at one time from on ! ly two cars of potatoes, when eleven I were on the tracks. A boycott, in which women of these ' districts will agree to buy no more ! onions or potatoes until the price goes down, and in which the dealers will agree not to purchase anv more, seems I probable. Prices of foods, not only in the push cart, but in every section of the city have advanced tremendously. Tin- dif ference in prices of some vegetables is shown in the following: 1017 Siring beans ..

With the j serious situation brought sharply to the I fore by food riots in tenement districts i 'here yesterday, .Mrs. Heath declared ' every effort to meet the prevailing j foul cost was a patriotic duty, i 11 Kv-erv vbunk man in America seek- ing summer employment should go to j j the farms, just as some are enlisting; in the militia, as a matter of patriot-' 'ism,'' said Mrs. Heath in an interview j ' with the I'nited Press today. "I si in preparing an appeal to the1 colleges of the country, urging thatj 'college students, especially, volunteer j : for farm service. "One of the causes of the food short-! ; age and high prices is said to be lack of farm labor and consequent sub-norm- nl produetion. If that is the case. We j should see that the farmer is given as sistance. When the entire country is ' in the grip of a food situation such as now prevails, work the farms would lie patriotic service. ' If through a movement such as this adequate labor is furnished then the govern ment should sou that transportation- facilities are furnished and that the marketing of the products is made possible at reasonable prices, "If there is no other relief from a situation which makes a dollar worth only about twenty-five cents when it comes to buying food in New Vork, why not dig up Central Park and pro duce foodstuffs there for the city. If lCrc is a corner, such eo operation would certainly bring price down, and if the shortage is real, the effort will be more than justified." Editor Tells How D. D. D.
