The potato riots last night, in which
mobs that attacked two markets were
dispersed BY the police after fighting
in which many persons were wounded,
resulted from an attempt of the gov

The anti-Ministerial TELEGRAPH" refers
TO the difficulty Of making the less edu-
Gated classes understand the necessity
on the one hand Of bartering potatoes
for German coal and iron and on the
other hand Of fulfilling the contract
with England, which calls for forward
ing 10 that country an amount of pota-
toes equivalent to that exported TO
Germany.
The Burgomaster states that cessa-
ton of exports to Germany would mean
paralysis of industries, with resultant
lack Of work and with no coal next

ton of the expectation of all foods.

bring adequate supplies from the rural
districts and distribute them at re-
duced prices.

All Bungalows Look
Alike to Bather Lost
On Fourth at Coney

Among the $4,000 persons who, de-
spite the threatening weather, milled
up and down the highways, byways and
beaches at Coney Island yesterday was
Molly Klein, of Attorney and Grand
streets.
Molly, who is eighteen, had taken
advantage of the holiday 70 visit some
friends who hold a Coney Island pop
corn concession. She went to their
bungalow, donned her bathing suit and
went for a swim. II was not until she
started back to the bungalow in her
wet suit that she learned how big
Coney Island is. There were peanut
and popcorn stands aplenty, but not
the particular one she sought, and as
for Bungalows, IL seemed that shooting
galleries. carrousels and dance halls
had sprung up where they had stood
before.
Finally. when her teeth began 70
chatter and her lips became blue
Molly appealed 10 a policeman. He took
her 90 the station and turned her over
10 Mrs. Boyle. the matron. who was
having her own troubles caring for
some fifty lost children. Molly wasn't
even able 20 give a close enough de-
scription of the popcorn stand or the
bungalow for the police 20 hope 70 ind
them. but there was one thing she did
remember, and that was her home tele-
phone number. Her parents finally
were notified. and arrived from Grand
Street several hours later with a
change of dry clothing for Molly, who,
under their protecting wings, boarded
a train for home.
And Molly's experience was about the
most serious bathing accident that
came 20 the attention OF the police.
There was no drowning or even res
cue recorded on the blotter despite the
huge throngs on the beaches. II was
one Of the quietest FOurths OF July
ever experienced from a police stand
point. Hundreds OF soldiers and sailors
mingled In the crowds, and an must
ally friendly spirit seemed TO exist be
tween them and the civilians.
Carmine Gaimari, six years old. OF
1871 Gravesend Avenue, was the victim
of a real Fourth OF July accident. While
running away from firecracker, whicrn
another boy had set of, he was struck
by a Reid Avenue trolley. lie was
taken 70 the Coney Island Hospital SUI
fering from a fracture Of the skull.
Two others taken 20 the hospital
were Mrs. Aaron Schif. Of 3O5 West
l43d Street. and Mrs. Frances Decker
of 225 Division Avenue. Brooklyn.
Their left legs were broken when they
were knocked off a boardwalk ontp the
beach az the foot Of West Ihittieth
Street BY an automobile. The car also
plunged into the sand, where y was
left by the driver, who fled before his
identity could be learned.

missed.
Originally, there were two indiet-

ing immortality. by Judge Young, the
Appellate Division approving in unan-
imous opinion.
Neglect in Remaining Counts
The remaining counts charge that
Mr.. Osborne. as warden OF Sing Sing

authority within the prison, that he
allowed inmates 20 visit the death
house and that he omitted 10 provide
