QUIET FOLLOWS
SUNDAYS RIOT
Street Orators Abuse the Po-

Eyade Promised Visit
DISPLAY OF WHISPERS
Socialists" Exhibit a Va
riety of HirSute Adorn-
ments but Nothing Else

As headache follows a night Of rev.
elry, spasm of unusual quiet last
night fell upon the members of the
mob that hOisted the red banner on
Lotta fountain Sunday.
The leaders of the multitude that
made the demonstration on Sunday had
planned to march out TO the rooms of
the Board Of Supervisors last night in
a body, but the solons Of the city saw
them coming and held the meeting in
the afternoon. The cases Of those who
were arrested for the demonstration of
sunday evening Will come up before
Judge Shortau at 10 o'clock today.
A patient detail OF policemen listened
10 the TRADES launched al them by two
sections OF the disturbers at the corner
OF Grant avenue and Market street last
night. Orators-many of them with
sore heads-abused the world in gem
eral, but most of all the Police De-
partment that objected 10 the waving
OF the red flag in the heart of the city.
They proclaimed themselves working
men, but when the small boy ventured
the shrill inquiry, Where do you
work?" they seemed deeply hurt. An
old man feebly yelled, The dead sure
cure for Socialism is TO give each So
cialist a house and lot" but nobody
answered him.
The detail Of policemen under Ser
geant Shaw was carefully selected.
Despite the ungrammatical floods of
abuse that were poured upon them
they grinned and took the "eloquence"
as a joke. The bewhiskered orators
persisted in their efforts TO drag the
union labor men of the city into the
affair Of Sunday night. but there was
not union labor leader nor union
labor man in the crowd. A few union
II.
skirts of the crowd expressed indigna-
tiOn that the speakers should call them
selves laborers.
Il was a great night for the sand
wfch man who advertised patent med
iclnes. His banner shone even more
brilliantly than the banners of the so
cialistic party" and the independent
workmen Of the world There was a
parade Of patent medicine men; there
was a Niagara of abuse; there was a
display OF whiskers from the three
days growth TO the Kansas Populist
crop Of a decades development, but
there was no red flags and there was
no suggestion for another attempt TO
storm Lotta fountain.
But the agitators will carry the war
over into Oakland. they declare. On
Sunday afternoon they will gather at
City Hall Park-uuless the Oakland po-
lice see them coming and move the
park.
Austin Lewis. author and attorney,
viii appear for those who were arrest
ed on Sunday. Some of the orators
zsked that those Of the crowd who
witnessed the affair OF Sunday appear
IN ShortalPs court as witnesses.
