lecture in Waverly Hall tonight One of the

not satisfied with the message. and called i'm
mediately upon the Chief

said the Chief to Mr.. Laurie. who will demand
the key Of the hall from you. He will then sta
ton a policeman at the door. who will forbid
admittance to the hall You are perfectly
helpless in tho matter. and any responsibility
there Is will be upon the police"
Tho wording Of tho subject Of the lecture was
q trifie ambiguous. liz that 1t might include any
or all phases OF anarchy and socialism There
was no doubt In the minds Of the police that
Mrs. Parsons intended to say something to
cause her arrest. Chief Hubbard said: Mrs.
Parsons can advertise herself all she pleases,
private information that she intended to mako
q violent Anarchist haranRue. Then we would
have been compelled to arrest her. and you can
be sure that 1t would have been magnified in
every way By the Anarchists in the argument
OF their Injunction suit tomorrow. 1t is well
known that Mrs. Parsons can't refrain from
talking anarchy II she gets . chance. and we
will not experiment with her further. She sim
