A member of the Citizens Committee
states that in his belief there are 1000 cases

dermen who, in the City Council yesterday,
denounced compulsory vaccination and
predicted trouble if 1t we're enforced, thus
encouraging the rioters. These men repre-
sent the wards where smsl pox is the most
prevalent, and they take this course to gain
favor with their constituents.
The failure of the police to suppress the
riot seems to have been due to lack Of
leadership. Mayor Besuregsrd has lett his
sick bed and was on hand personally to-
day. The Mayors brother and several
policemen armed themselves last night in
the City Hall and fred at the crowd, driv-
irg it away from that side of the building.
