XIth Assembly District yesterday In consequence OF
somo lively developments all of which were apparently
10 the interest Of those opposed to the Peabody
element The first victory Of the day was at Police
HEADQUARTERS The protest against the outragcs OF
the police at the last meeting OF the district assocla
ion wa. referred to Inspector Steers for investigation
He held three sessions and examined number OF wit
nesses on both sides 1t was shown that the complaint
Was we'll founded; that is to say. the police had in
vadcd the meeting and assaulted members Of the as
ISOLATION Yet Notwithstanding this the protestantS
were reluctant to press the complaint. saying that the
policemen had simply obeyed the orders OF Colonel
Bliss, who they supposed was right in ordering inc
cleared. 1t is possible that the complaint might
not have been pushed had this encnt disposition been
appreciated. But it construed as an evidence OF
weakness by the other side. This being the case.
there was no other course TO pursue than TO swear
out a complaint against all the officers implicated.
This was done. and the case Is before the Com
missoners for trial next Wednesday.
Next in order the granting of an injunction by
Judge GildeiSleeve in the superior Court compelling
