MosBEp A SOCIALIST.
Meiko Meyer Made insulting Remarks
on Late Gov. Pinqree.

Detroit. Mich, July 8.-Riot and
bloodshed Saturday night resulted
from an attempt by Meiko Meyer, the
socialistic labor leader. to defame end
besmirch the memory of the late ex-
Gov. Pingree, in an address on the
Campus Martius.
The crowd on the Campus, many of
whom had earlier in the day watched
the cortege of the lamented dead, was
thocked. Then surprise turned to
rage. The hot-headed ones sought to
wreak immediate vengeance upon the
man who had blasphemed their most
cherished idol. Meyer and several of
his associates had a narrow escape for
their lives, Meyer being finally rescued
by Patrolman McDermott and lodged
in Woodbridge street police station,
charged with disturbing the peace.
Those who overheard Meyers
speech on the Campus agree in con-
demning 1t. They assert that the
speaker, in the course of his remarks,
applied to the deceased ex-governor
such terms as "robber," "blaokleg"
and the like.
