GERMAN RIOTS
ARE CONTINUED
Communist* and Police
Clash In Berlin
Thursday
BERLIN June 12. —Widespread
communist riots against emergency
tax decrees caused the police to take
special precautions today on orders
o! the ministry of the interior.
Communis ; again clashed with
I authorities at a mass meeting in
Berlin last night attended by 12.000
persons Police searched them for
weapons and arrested scores.
As the crowd moved away from
the Sportspalast after the meeting
police were foced to fin? blank
cartridges and to use their clubs
to maintain order Several news-
paper offices were placed under
guard.
Five persons were wounded in
Hamburg when police broke up a
radical demonstration near the
English church. Ten thousand per-
sons were present at a gathering
preceding the outbreak
One was killed and two were In-
jured at Lauenburg as a result of
authorities’ efforts to separate a
mob of communists fighting among
themselves. Police were attacked
when they tried to quell the row
originating in a manifestation and
had to resort to firearms to battle
their way out.
This violence had its counterpart
in verbal warfare against the de-
crees Communist deputies in the
Prussian diet agitated strongly for
revolutionary action and demanded
the formation of a dictatorship.
The Oldenburg diet adopted a bill
calling on the government immedia-
tely to revoke the measures. Nat-
ional socialists nationalists and the
people's party joined in the move.
Officials of the ministry of the
interior are understood not to take
these outbreaks seriously regarding
them merely as attempts by com-
munist leaders to incite the masses.

puzzling Col. T. E. Gilmore mana-
ger of the Brownsville airport.
Col. Gilmore recently received a
letter from G. Rowland Hutchin-
son. honorary secretary of the
"Avicultural Society" of New Zea-
land.
Mr. Hutchinson writes that he
unde: ands Col Gilmore Is great-
ly interested in bi.Ms and wants
to purchase some birds from this
section
"I am certainly not interested In
birds." Col. Gilmore says and ex-
presses the opinion that a Mr. H.
A Horsbrough mentioned In the
letter.* "who had a habit of refer-
ring things to me in tfie army in
France and w-ho apparently still
has this weakness." gave his name
to Mr. Hutchinson.
Th* letter was turned over to
the Chamber of Commerce here.
World production of copper in

I put amounting to 1.806.642 short
tons as compared with 2.104.11C
