Tonight Odd Fellows hall was crowd
ed 20 its limit, and many were turned
away. Fully LOCO men were In the hall.
II Is understood q large portion OF them
were armed. On all sides II was heard
that the men were ready for a mob.
Outside the hall the entire police force
with the exception OF a few men scat
tered through the audience. were dis
trihuted 30 az TO command the entrance
TO the hail. No crowds were allowed to
congregate near the building. Inside
the hall Siattery received an ovation.
and throughout his lecture he was APP
plauded and cheered, and when he de-
ciared the riot Tuesday night had
shown the necessity of Protestant or
ganization. the wild cheering lasted sew
eral minutes and was vigorously re-
stunned when he said: Get she A. p. A.
or the Junior Order of United Me-
chanics here and you will have no more
such demonstrations against free speech.
