PERRY REsENTs THE sLURs.
Judge Perry, who was present TO rep
resent All. O. Rosa, OF the Wigwam,
spoke calmly in response. but his words
were caustc and won the applause OF
the spectators, thus precipitating the
abrupt closing OF the meeting.
1.-THE orator who has just taken his
seat ought to be heartily ashamed OF
himself for the slurs he has cast on
what he is pleased to term the paid
advocates OF the applicants" was his
opening sentence.
Immediately a large part of those
present began to applaud, keeping the
hand clapping up for some minutr6.

chair.
IF there is any more of this unseem-
" exhibition l will adjourn the meet
ing" said Chairman Ballentyne as soon
as he could make himself heard above
the clapping and stamping.
"If the speaker has not yet learned"
continued Judge Perry, "he will learn.
If he lives long enough. that the fact
that man takes a fee does not make
him the less conscientious nor anxious
to bring out the truth. He will some
day regret the slurs he has seen fit to
cast tonight against the members of
profession as honorable as his own"
This was too much for the thoroughly
interested spectators, who, led by a
prominent liquor dealer, broke out
again in loud applause.
"This meeting is adjourned" shouted
the chairman, who Immediately left the
chair.
POLICEMEN WILL ATTEND.
The crowd didn't know just what to
do then. In little knots they gathered
about the room, many thinking that
another hearing, set for nine o'clock,
nounced. however, by Chairman Bal
that there was nothing further
doing that night and that for the meet
ing tonight there would be policemen
present to preserve order.
'Is it fact. Mr.. Ballentyne. that you
have actually sent for the police to ar
rest US in this room?" demanded Will
liam Lishman. who had been an inter-
ested listener throughout the whole
stormy night.
II will have policemen here to pre-
serve order. certainly" answered Bal
Ientyne.
Haven't the public any rights here
at all?' further demanded Lishman.
Yes, when they show the proper re- |
spect for the Commissioners" answer
ID the chairman, who wanted to close |
the discussion. There is no use trying |
% get up any personal argument about |
his. gentlemen. The Board is a judi
,ial body and order and proper de-
,orum has to be preserved in our meet
ngs"
do understand that the hearing set
or nine o'clock will come up tomorrow
It eight?" asked Attorney Paul
;trauch, who explained that he repre-
ented some of the applicants. And
10 understand that the other hearing,
hat of the Wigwam, is off because of
What you call disorderly conduct"
Ballentyne told him that he had the
light idea exactly. The crowd then
rifted out, as there seemed to be moth
ng else to expect in the way OF ex-
itement.
