successfully in the industrial life of the
world, but that 1t must also get at the
fathers and mothers in the shops aud

Philadelphia, Oct 23.-Under most un-

played here last night at the Walnut

city had made formal protest TO Mayor

the theatre is located. were packed with
colored people. Director OF Public Safety
McKenty. who. realizing the danger. had
hastened to the scene. begged the preach
ers, who seemed 10 have complete con-
troll of the multitude, 10 dispense the
mob.
While the director was at the scene a
riot call was sent I'm, and FIVE police
patrol wagons brought half a hundred
policemen to the scene.
The colored clergymen surrounder Di-
rector McKenty and demanded that he
stop the production. Il ne director de-
livered a brief speech. asking the crowd
20 disperse, and saying that he would
endeavor to haxe-the- discontinued
after last night. This seemed to have a
soothing effect. and the crowd slowly
scattered.
Early In the evening a coored man at
tempted 20 create n disturbance I'm the
theatre. He was arrested. but the pohce
had considerable difficulty In rescuing
him from the crowd in the gallery.
