crowd quieted and "Sweet Marie" and
Mrs. Harris were admitted to the
building as representatives of the pro
testing women.
Mrs. Harris declared she represented
BO political organization of any kind.
- - " i represent no one but mothers,"
the said. ''My hnsliand is a wsite.h
roaker. 1 havte thiec children and we
just manage to get along. But other
mothers who can't got along come to
I me' with tears in their eyes and ask
I me what to do.
"We were promised a public school
in which to hold a protest meeting next
Tuesday. By that time, though, hun-
dreds would be starving, so we detenu
; ined to march down here to see the
I mayor." ..
; Mrs. Harris was told that Mayor
Mitehel was not in his office but was
! promised that he would meet them lat-
er today or tomorrow.
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. There was a half
hour wasted quarreling over a medal to
cost twenty dollars to be given doe

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

Wheat Market Erratic
and Opening Higher
Chicago. Feb. 20. Wheat was er
ratic today. 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. Favorable weather eondit
tions followed over the wheat belt,
but transportation conditions remained
unchanged. May wheat opened up half
cent, later gaining two cents, going to
$1.78 1-2. July opened down 1-R, but
subsequently gained half to $'.50 .1-4.
September opened unchanged, later los
ing 1-S to 11.39 3-8.
Corn opened up with an upward
trend, but declined later. Offerings
were small. May opened up t-8, later
losing half to $1.01 7-8. duly opened
up !4, subsequently losing the gain and
going to yesterday's close, $1.00'i.
Cats opened strong on the thenry
thnt there was good buying for export
yesterday. I'nlikc. other grains, oats
continued tirm through the morning.
May opened up V4 and remained un
changed at 57 u-8. July opened up 3-8,
Subsequently gaining '4 to 55 3-4.

ters, demanding to see Police (
sioner Woods.
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:

(Housewives League, today. 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."
