LONDON, Nov l0-The only disturbance
in connection with the Lord Mayors show
Tuesday was slight encounter between the
police and a mob 800 strong marching in a
body into Trafalgar square The mob
halted in the square and attempted to take
up position, but the police separated them
and cleared the square, pushing the crowd
toward the Thames enbankment There
they remained hooting and groanng at all
representatives of the law. a feature of the
day was the appearance of 800 medical stu
dents marching through the Strand, five
abreast and armed with heavy bludgeons.
Their avowed purpose was to aid the police
in preserving the peace.
A Gordon was drawn across the White
chapel district at the lower end of the city by
the Life guards for the purpose of shutting
off any body of East End Socialists which
might attempt demonstration in the rear
of the procession
A detachment Of Life guards while passing
through Queen Victoria street, City, were
groaned and hissed at by small knot of
roughs. The majority of the assembled
crowd, however, watched their progress in
silence. As Gen. Warren, chief commissioner
of police, rode through the city at the head
of detachment, two Socialists called TO him
requesting an answer to Mondays note ask
ing his reasons for Prohibiting their proposed
meeting. Gen. Warren referred them to his
proclamation.
The procession started without mishap at
the appointed hour and its progress was
marked with no disorder The procession
reached the law courts at Temple Bar with
out encountering anything more than the
usual horseplay. The procession passed on to
and through Trafalgar square undisturbed
The lord mayor was groaned at at different
points, but aside from this nothing occurred
calculated to disturb the peace. After the
lord mayors carriage had passed, John
vii hams, Socialist leader, addressed the
crowd from the foot of the Nelson
monument in Trafalgar square
lie declared that the unemployed
world show that they could hold an orderly
meeting, and let the people know the amount
Of distress existing among the workmen

sition TO interfere, but later on when the

guards, charged upon i. ami sou cleared
