pressing regret for the assassination Of

The Chairman, Joseph Calegaris, said
that the meeting had been called for the
purpose of giving the Italian residents
OF San Francisco an opportunity OF ex-
pressing their sympathy for the French
people in their grief because of the loss
of their President.

the time been transformed into yelling,
gesticulating demons,
from crushing the speaker: Never for a
moment did the shouts and curses cease.
The critical moment arrived when
Chairman Calegaris attempted to leave

were pursuing joined in chase after
Calegaris.
1t was wild scene. Calegaris was
pale from fright as the throng pressed
upon him in fury: The, police made a
continuous fight. They piled their clubs,
cracking many a head. and kept an open
circle abyut Calegaris along Broadwa
to New Montgomery street. and until
he had reached the shelter of the Com
mercial Hotel Even here the man was
not secure from the mob. for $50 Of the
rabble pressed their way In and had
to be expelled by the police.
Calegaris and his friends were unable
to account for the extraordinary action
of the mob. Their idea. however, seemed
to be that the trouble was due to a d.
vision Of the Italian colony. The men
composing one faction are laborers In
the other faction are merchants and cap
italists. The first faction Is opposed to
the second on general principles.
Charles Borreo, an Italian resident
spoke for the riotous element as follows
The people who assembled last night ut
the meeting felt that the protest and
condemnation of President Carnot's as
sassin were out of place. The French
made no protests or apologies when Girls
pi was assaulted by Frenchman. and
they have made no apologies for their
