police station-what a sight in the
hall of popular representation!
Some of the socialist delegates reap
pear and are received with deafening
applause. The noise increases. Some
delegates are taken sick. The delegates

all sides the cry is fired at the police;
This Is treason to the people,"
In an instant the aids begin to clear
out the gallery, which is packed with
people. During the whole scene the
gallery had encouraged the socialists,
and uttered denunciations of the police.
One tier after another is cleared; all
the louder are the cries Of the remain

below, and the delegates and the gal
leries wave their handkerchiefs at each
| other. From the galleries resound the
cry: Down with the betrayers of the
people!' Delegate Joseph Steiner an

don't yield!" Presently speeches are
made from the gallery that are received
with stormy applause. Finally the Sec

Funke throws the pabers he has on his

the police take their seats on the min
