police would take up all who assembled
in the square. Nicol, the anarchist
leader, was prominent figure among
those of the same manner of thinking
as himself who gathered upon Trafal-
gar square this afternoon. The police
by twos and threes kept moving about
the square and thus compelled the an
archists to ''move on" apparently de-
termined that no addresses should be
made. This caused the anarchists to
wave their hats and boot the police,
while some of the spectators cheered
and others Kissed, according to the nat
ure of their opinions. At exactly ten
minutes past 2, as if by prearranged
signal, q number of anarchists made a
rush for the steps at the foot of the
Gordon statue. One of their number
Immediately began to make
A WILD ADDRESS
to those who had rushed up to the stems
with him, but the anarchist orator had
hardly uttered his first sentence before
number Of policemen charged I'D to
the spot and dlslOdged the reds from
the steps, scattering them in all direc-
tons i'll the most lively manner, amid
the cheers of the vast majority of the
crowds assembled about the square in
order to see the demonstration. The
attempt of the anarchists to hold a
meeting on the steps of the Gordon
statue was followed by other and SINH

who. for time, were kept very busy
hustling the anarchists from one point
and another. During the dispensing of
these anarchist groups number of the
reds were pretty roughly handled by
the policemen, who threw them from
the steps, and in many cases gave them
"a pretty bad shaking up before thew
were allowed to escape from the grasp
Of the officers of the law. Eventually
the anarchists on the square became SO
demonstrative that a further detach-
ment of fifty policemen was sent TO the
square. arriving there at 3:l5, and, with
the officers already there assembled,
they formed
A DOUBLE GORDON
around the Nelson monument. Sud-
denly an anarchist rushed through the
lines of police, scaled a monument and
began to address the crowd around him,
but he had only uttered few words
when staiwart policeman seized him
and threw him bodily into the crowd.
AS the anarchist still tried to speak, he
was seized by two policemen anu hauled
off to the nearest police station, followed
by a shouting crowd composed OF sew
eral hundred Of those in sympathy with
the prisoner, as well as by a number
who joined in the procession simply for
the excitement of the thing. Shortly
before $3.50 a further detachment of
mounted police was summoned to Traf-
a T. Wi in,
line, the mounted police charged upon
the anarchist mob, scattering them in
all directions. after which the hOrsemen
took up a position on the south side
facing the square, and the police on foot
then began TO dispense the mob, who
made but slight resistance, being com
pletely overawed by the large number
of police called to the spot. At about
1880 p. m. large body of anarchists
made dangerous rush
DOWN PARLIAMENT STREET
with the intention of reaching Scotland
Yard, the headquarters of the police,
which was said to have been left with
only small guard of policemen, but the
superintendent of the n division of
policemen promptly dispatched strong
force of mounted and foot police to Scot
land Yard. the horSemen reaching that
point before the anarchists, and with
the assistance of the police on foot the
dangerous mob was scattered after much
scuff1ing. In other parts of Trafalgar
square the police had their hands full in
keeping the crowds moving; so much so
thar additional reinforcementS of
mounted police were sent for, and they
made several charges down North
CUMBERLAND avenue past the Victoria
hotel and the Grand hotel. The mount
ed police also charged through Pail
Mali, driving the anarchists before
them. During the afternoon the police
made number of arrests, the prisoners
in all cases being followed TO the police
stations by angry and excited crowds of
anarchists, who loudly cursed the home
secretary, Henry Asquith, and who
uttered all kinds Of threats as to what
they were going to do in order to be re-
venged upon that official.
