renee pleased with a recitation. The old folks concert, the main feature | or the program was rendered by the older pupils of the school. George Wells yielded the baton as song leader and guided his youthful fol- lowing through a maze of harmony All Of the music was familiar to the 1 older people who will remember many Of the old folks concerts of the past. The children showed un- usual aptitude in rendering the old time songs, many of which are con- sidered very difficult for accom- plished singers. Credit for the splen- 1 did performance Is due to the teach CTS of the Hubbard school who for the past month have spent much time and preparation in staging the entertainment. Those in charge of the program were Miss Mabelle Barnes, Miss Edith Northrup, Miss Helen Hines and Miss Beatrice Jacobson.

FAMILY DISPUTES

Baseball Practice Tomorrow Alter noon-Funeral of Mrs. Edith Wilder Smith-child Health Day
 b lndOrsed by State Commissioner

TWO Berlln parties appeared De- fore Judge Arthur r. Ellis of the superior court yesterday to have the judge settle two counter actions for 5000 damages for alleged assaults on May 10. 1926. The judge sent both parties, Joseph Falcetti and MT. and Mrs. Giacinto Varriale, home without giving either of them anything.
 The trouble started when Falcetti started to chase one of the Varriale children off his grounds. In the light that followed Falcetti was struck n the shoulder with a brick. He then retained Cyril F. Gaffney to bring suit.
 The brick. however. brought his divorced wife to his aid to nurse him through the injury. The wife, Mrs. Virginia Bacomo. occupies half of ths house in which Falcetti lives. the two never having divided their property after the divorce. Mrs. hcomo supported her former hus- lands claim with a nursing bill for 3250 and $100 board. When asked By Judge Ellis If she had become reconciled to her former husband after he got well, the woman an- swered that she was not crazy.
 Funeral Held Today

SHOOT STRIKERS
IN AUSTRALIA
Officers Fire on Dock
Workers

ADELAIDE, Australia, Sept. 27
Provocative action of police and
strikebreakers today caused disturb
ances n several Australian ports re-
sulting in the serious injury OF
twelve harbor workers here. The
strikers were wounded when officers
of the steamer Hanau used their re-
volvers on the men. The number OF
injured in other cities has not beer
estimated.
Trouble began when strikebreak.
ers employed by the owners ant
abetted by them and the police
goaded the dock strikers.
1000 Strong.
Two thousand strong, the docker:
turned on the strikebreakers anc
drove numbers of them from the
water front. Many who took refuge
in the Free Labour Bureau, the
strikebreaking agency were dragged
out by the enraged strikers and
chased from the harbor.
The strikers then turned their at
tention to three vessels being loaded
by the scabs and ordered the men
to desist. Their guards refused to
permit this and the strikers drove
them from the ships. During the
struggle both men and the wool be-
ing loaded fell into the harbor.
Police POwerless.
The police proved utterly power
less to cope with the solid masses of
port workers as they swarmed along
the water front 1t is believed that
only at Melbourne did they succeed
in making a number of arrests.
Officers of a number of vessels,
notably the German steamer Hanau,
used their revolvers on the strikers.
1t was here that the greater number
of the injuries occurred.
