continuously during his speech and
eggs were thrown about the hall, four
being thrown upon the stage The

! of the meeting, when hoodlums gather
ed about the exit with insulting re-
marks. There were so many noisy peo-
/ pie on the street and in such spirit as
| to threaten violence as well as insult
| to the secretary. The authorities had
not taken radical action to prevent
disturbance up to this time but after
the meeting, the mayor and chief OF
/ police promptly furnished a detacf-
ment of twenty police who safely and
quietly escorted Secretary Carlisle to
the residence of Frank Helm.
Secretary Carlisle was disturbed and
showed his annoyance over the yelling

outside of the hall, and was himself
surprised at the calling Of a detach-
ment of police to escort him to Mr.
| Helms residence. He will speak at
Bowling Green Saturday night. and at
] ether points in Kentucky next week,
! when 1t is feared he will encounter dis
! turbances
