HAS A RIGHT TO TALK.
Socialist Manager Says U. s
Constitution Gives 1t
To Him.


A number Of men belonging to the So
c~ialissic Labor Party attempted to hold q
public demonstration at the corner Of
Coles and hire streets last night. Police
man John S. Murphy of the Seventh
they had a permit to hold a public meet
ing on the street.
Murphy, after being informed thai the
men had no permit, ordered the men to
desist. The men refused and Murphy
t~elephoned to Captain Kelly for advice.
Captain Kelly told Murphy if the men had
no permit not TO allow the meeting to
proceed.
Murphy went back to where the crowd
had collected and when the men refused
to stop he placed E. T. Wagner, of No.
A Blocker street, and Charles Herr
sehaft, of No. rs Prospect street, under
arrest. Captain Kelly warned the men
not to proceed with the meeting and al
lowed them to go. AS soon as they got
out both went Immediately TO the corner
of Coles and Third streets and, mounting
a soap box. resumed talking. Officer Muir
ply then arrested them and they were
locked up as disorderly persons.
In court this morning the accused men
calimed thai the Constitution of the Unit
ed States gives every man the right of
free speech, which canno be abridged by
any city ordinance. under which the police
act. Wagner claimed that formerly he
had a permit from the Street and Water
Board, but his last application for a per-
nit has not yet been answered. The si-
lence was accepted as consent, Wagner
thinking. as no answer was received, no
permission was necessary.
Wagner said the reason they went back
to the corner after being warned not to
by Captain Kelly, was to make a test
case of the matter, as Judge Blair has
rendered a decision saying that meetings
of the kind could be held on the streets.
Justice Potts conceded with Judge
Blair's opinion. but believed that it should
be under police regulation, and he desired
time to look into the case. Both men
were paroled until next Monday.
