NO RIGHT TO BLOCK THE STREET
Constitution Allows Free Speech
But Not Crowds.

E. T. Wagner and Charles Herrschaft,
who were arrested while addressing a
Socialistic gathering at the corner of
Coles and Third streets several days ago.
for talking on a public thoroughfare
without permit were given hearing
in the First Criminal Court this morning.
Both men claimed that the Constitution
of the United States gave them the rights
of free speech. Counsellor George Ryer-
son represented the Socialists.
Justice Potts in rendering his decision
said:-"There is no doubt that the Con-
stitution gives the right of freedom of
speech, yet when exercised on public
thoroughfare it comes under the regu-
lations of the Police Department and it
is very doubtful if any municipal board
has the right to grant permits for block
ing public thoroughfares.
The Court found both men guilty of
violating a city ordinance. Sentence was
suspended.
