ious unions affiliated with the San

luton adopted last night by that or

Demand for Wells Grows

brother Frank, received new well
drill today and will place it in the field
with the one now in operation. P. S.
Davidson says the demand for deep
wells throughout Hood River valley
has increased to the extent that one

it necessary to secure water from deep

Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-Rioting in
every section of the city followed the
attempt of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company to operate its lines
here today.
Passengers and C ews were driven
from cars by infuriated mobs of strike
sympathizers and in nearly score of
instances the abandoned cars were
burned or otherwise destroyed.
At nightfall every car was with
drawn from service. Stern measures
were adopted by the police to quell the
disorders. Five persons were ar
rested, charged with melting to riot.
Two women were taken to hospitals.
Mayor Reyburn tonight ordered Di-
rector of Police Clay to swear in 5000
additional police and to issue a pro-
clamation enforcing the riot act.
The executive committee of the Cen
tral Labor union this afternoon pledged
both moral and financial support to the
strikers. 1t also decided to call q
sympathetic strike of every union man
in the city in case the authorities put
into effect their threat to operate the
cars with policemen and fremen.
In the morning cars were run on
every line with little difficulty except
in the mill district of Kensington,
where cars were stoned by mobs. At
IL o'clock transit company officials
announced that cars were running on
their regular schedule. Shortly after
ward riots were reported from scores
of widely separated localities.
In the Southern section a mob of
boys drove a conductor and motorman
from their posts, and, after the four
women passengers had left the car, set
it on FIRE.
The car following was stopped also
and was being set on FIRE when a de-
tachment of police and chemical en-
gine reached the scene. In this same
section Mary Devlin, aged 16 years.
was shot in the leg when the police
fired their revolvers in an effort to
check the mob.
In the usually quiet residence sec
tion of West Philadelphia, mobs for a
time baffied the police. Iron bars and
stones were'piled on the tracks and
several cars were wrecked. Mounted
police were powerless to disperse the
mobs, and fire hose was brought into
play.
Contradictory claims are made by
the opposing forces as to the number
of men on strike. Leaders Of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway employees say
that 5000 of the 1000 employees of
the transit company have left their
cars. Officials of the company say
that 3, 500 Of their employees are loyal
and that regular service will be re-
sumed at daybreak tomorrow.
The Importation of l75 strikebreak-
ers from New York led to an attack on
the barns and main Offices of the com
pany this afternoon. Windows were
broken by the mob, which was finally
after 35 arrests had been
made.
Union leaders say they will force
the company to srbitrate. They
charge that the company for months,
by series of petty prosecutions, has
been endeavoring to force the union to
strike, and finally, by discharging a
large number of union men, practically
declared lockout.

HOP CONTRACT LEGAL.
Judge 6ronaugh Decides Important
Point IN Law Suit.

Judge Bronaugh Decides Important
Point lnLaw Suit.
Portland - Circuit Judge E. G..
Bronaugh has handed decision of in
terest to hop groweas and brokers all
over the United States, when he held
that a contract for the delivery of a
crop of hops was legal, despite circum-
stances.
Judge Bronaugh's ruling came in
the civil action brought by j. McNeff,
C. L. McNeff and ]. w. McNeff, doing
business as McNeff Bros, brokers,
against the Southern Pacific Railway
company and ]. McGilvray. He held
for the plaintiffs. The railroad COM
pany did not enter into the suit.
Following the story of the transac-
tion told in the bill of complaint, Nc
Neff Bros. contracted with Mrs. c. h.
Bozorth for the full crop of hops grown
in her yard at 101a cents a pound.
When the time for delivery came the
price of hops had risen to about %
cents pound. Mrs. Bozorth trans
ferred her hops, it was alleged, to her
SON. Flaw, ] McGilvray, who refused
to turn them over to the plaintiffs.
McNeff Bros. sued to recover ST.
500 damages, which amount was
awarded them by the court.
The legality Of contracts for crops
of hops to be delivered at certain
time he's long been in doubt. Last
summer one firm of brokers, in sn en-
deavor to obtain large quantities OF
hops which had been contracted for,
sent out circulars saying that hop con-
tract would not hold,
The McNeff- -McGilvray case will be
appealed.

LegisIatlon Declared Invalid.

Salient The Crater Lake road bill,
passed by the last session Of the legis-
lature and providing for the construc-
tion of state highway from the Pa
cific ocean to the Idaho boundary, is
unconstitutional, say four members Of
the Supreme court of the state. JUS
tice Will R. King dissents from the
opinion of the other members of the
court, and holds that the Law does not
contravene the constitution.
The decision of the majority of the
court was written by Justice Thomas
Mcbride.
Justice McBride's decision goes in
to the law of the case in detail. He
sets out the history leading up to the
action at law, commencing with the
passage of the bill by the last legisla-
ture, the appointment of the Crater
Lake road. commission, and. the COM
mencement of the suit by L. H. Nc
Mahon, protesting that the road was
local in character, designed to benefit
Klamath and Jackson counties in par
ticular and not the state in general,
and that for this reason it was in con-
travention of section of article XII
and section 23 Of article Nv of the con-
stitution of the state
Mcmahon contended that the sole
purpose of the proposed road was to
assist jackson and klamath counties
in constructing an automobile and car
riAge road from Medford to Crater lake
and from klamath Falls to Crater lake
for the use of tourists and pleasure
seekers, and not for the purpose Of
constructing state road from the Pa.

Parents Duty to Children.

To the Editor OF The Star:
The following dispatch from Paris was
printed recently: Hector Depasse has In
troduced bill in the chamber Of depu-
ties providing that a fine Of from Is to
so francs may be imposed on landlords
who refuse to let apartments because
applicants have children. The fine will
be doubled If the oftense is repeated"
It would be fairer to the children II a
law was passed In every country COM
polling parents to provide for their chill
dren home where they would have at
least fair-sized yard in which to exer-
else their limbs and lungs, without be-
ing constantly reminded that they must
be quiet in order not to disturb other oc-
cupants of a building, as Is the case
when parents try to bring up their little
ones In apartments. Because parents
prefer the conveniences to be found in
apartments. they have no right to allow
such preference and their own love OF
comfort to 0verbalance their duty to their
children. A great deal il heard these
ton Of cruelty to animals. It would be
well II legislation for the prevention Of
cruelty to children were undertaken and
put into effect.
when nobly done, but when paretns try to
sidestep the responsibilities which they
take upon themselves at the expense OF
the helpless children, then for humanity's
sake some legislation to remedy this con-
dition should be undertaken. It is the
plain duty Of every parent to provide the
best possible environment for the physi-
cal, mental and moral welfare OF their
children. Children who are cooped I'D In
the limited space which the average
apartment affords become peevish and
delicate and oftentimes develop into
criminals because in order to get exercise
are compelled to grow up on the streets
This problem should be considered seri-
ously. If parents are too selfish or ir-
responsible to give their children the adj
vantages OF fresh air and exercise with
out playing amidst the dangers Of the
city streets, then it is time that LEXIS
lation remedy this condition and It will
do away with large percentage OF dis
ease and crime.

doing great damage to shipping. Several
schooners were wrecked.
No lives were lost. but many persons
had narrow escapes. The water swept
far UP the streets, those near the shore
being completely inundated. Late last
night the surf began to subside.
No one here is able to account for the
phenomenon, which some attribute to
submarine volcanic action and others to
the recent eclipse. The water rose to the
highest point ever seen here, reaching
far above the marks made when Boring
sea and Norton sound are dashed into a
fury by the arctic storms.
The schooner Mary Sachs was picked

Of water and deposited In q spit dweller' g
