 Superintendent Wrinn was in com mand, of course, and he led the men up Temple to Elm street. The men had a great deal of difficulty in wheeling around this corner because of the crowd of men and boys who huddled so close to the line that it was badly broken. Chief Kennedy, with few we'll d. rected and effectual waves of his baton, succeeded in making the boys quite scarce.
