children appeared on the dock as early

kindly women who were friends of their

take care of as well.

They were taken on the boat, and a

that he personally would chaperon the
tots and see that they were well taken
care of.
one woman, the mother Of thirteen
children, the youngest ) months old,
whom she carried in her arms, went on
the excursion for the first time today.
DR.. i. w. Smith, of the City Hos

on board the boat to give any medical
assistance that may be necessary.

FINE COLLECTION OF MEN
"Main Arteries and Secondary

Generally Inadequate"

Many weaknesses in Newark's water
supply from the Interpretation stand
point, are condemned in the annual re-
port of the committee on fire protection
of the National Board of Fire Under
writer's. The fire apartment Is com
mended for its efficiency and discipline
and the members of it pronounced a
body of fine men.
The report vas submitted by three en-
gineers, f.. p. Walther, F. A. Raymond
and r. w. I3ogert, jr., who visited the
city during June and July of the pres
ent year, n a copy was placed in the
hands of Edward E. Gnichtel, president
of the Fire Board, today. That part of
1t which deals specifically with the
water supply reads:
Arrangement good. Supply by gray
lty from storage reservoirs of large
capacity conveyed to distributing reser-
voirs. Main supply conduits in dupii-
cate and well guarded against interrupt
ton of supply. Distribution in four
services, with several connections be-

piled by higher services. Main arteries
and secondary feeders In the several
services generally inadequate, too wide
Is separated. and in many cases not
connected to smaller mains at their in
tcrsection; many large areas served
only through minor distributors. Grid
Ironing incomplete in many sections.
Almost Il per cent. of all mains are

rate OF consumption increasing, but is
not excessive. PresSures unsatisfactory.
Gate valve spacing generally good.

cases unserviceable; many of an unsat

ton to most of the congested value dis
trict and Il Is contemplated to extend
it to include the more important manu-
featuring sections.
Tests made in parts of the congested
districts and in all of the manufacture
ing districts ave quantities entirely in
sufficient for fire protection. To inn
prove the, distribution system many
changes are necessary in the main arte-
ries, minor distributors and hydrants.

done"
Speaking of the fire department, the
report says it is well equipped and the
apparatus is in good condition, except
the engines, about which the engineers
could make no authoritative statement,
because they were not permitted to eX-
anime them.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
DUBLIN, June l3.-Rioting has been 60
ing on at Thurles after nightfall each
day since last Sunday. The police have
adopted stern measures in dealing with
the mob.
The disorder was the outcome of the
eviction of a popular local merchant. Mr.
Burke. the purchase of whose business
premises by Mr.. Coady. another local
trader. angered many townspeople. who
resolved to make Coady's life unpleasant
The National Banks premises We're at
tackled and several houses almost wrecked
Finally. Thursday. seventy extrat con-
stables were sent to the town. They were
disposed in small parties at several points
in the disturbed area. Up to 10 pm, ev-
erything was peaceable, but shortly after
that hour big party of policemen who
held the square in the center of the town
were furiously attacked.
The place was in complete darkness, the
lamps in the streets not having been light
ed since May I. Broken bottles, stones
and bricks were showered upon the con-
stables. and owing to the darkness it was
almost impossible to discover the direc-
ton from which the missiles were hurled.
The majority of the policemen. who were
strangers, were at an obvious disadvan-
tage. AS the night wore on the attack
upon them became more determined.
Many were injured. as were some persons
who were going home.
At length the police located one body
of stone throwers. They charged viSor-
ously with drawn batons. scattering them
in various directions. An attack was then
made upon house farther down the
street. The crash of broken glass brought
up police reinforcements. who again
charged and dispersed a second mob.
The constabulary were then collected
from all points. The main body of the
rioters was attacked and chased acl oss
the river to the outskirts of the town.
Drawing a strong Gordon across the road
the constabulary prevented them from re-
turning.
By this time they had the situation well
in hand. In order TO pr event people from
throwing missiles in the darkness and
then taking refuge in the houses they
commanded all householders to lock their
doors. The order was generally obeyed.
Then baton charges were ordered at one
or two points where crowds had again
assembled. At midnight the streets were
completely cleared.
1t is now stated that Mr.. COady. pur-
chaser Of BurkeS place. has surrendered
the premises. The bankruptcy court will
have to again put them up for sale.
A further draft of fifty constables. under
a district inspector, has been sent from
the constabulary depot in Dublin The
local police force has thus been increased
from ID TO no.
