AGAIN IN JAIL
TWENTY-FIVE ARRESTED FOR
PARADING STREETS
FLAGS AND BANNERS CAPTURED
AMID MUCH DISORDER
over-zeaIous Youth Makes Melo-
dramatic Scene, Appealing to Pat
riotism, but Finally Is Elected
from Station

Amid scenes of disorder, at times
bordering on riot. twenty-five MEM
bers of the Salvation army were ar
rested last night by Sergeant Kriege
and squad of officers for violation
of the ordinance prohibiting parad-
ing on the public streets with music
and banners without having first Sc
cured a permit therefor from the po-
lice commission.
The arrests were made at Fifth and
Hill streets, while the two local corps
of the army were narading the street
with their band playing and banners
waving, the rank and file shouting and
calling to passers-by and spectators.
The moment the members of the
army were stopped by the police the
scenes of disorder beg Citizens
vationists, and the officers and the
crowd swayed o.1e way and then the
other, while shouts and cries made IL
almost impossible to hear orders.
When Sergeant Kriege started to
take the flags and banners away from
their carriers and place them In the
patrol wagon an over-zealous youth,
Spanish war and son of veteran
of the Civil war, and that the nag
should not be touched, forced his way
between the officer and the flag bearer
and threatened trouble.
Sergeant Kriege explained to him
that the flags were to be placed length
wise In the wagon, SO that they could
be transported safely, but the appeal
to popular patriotic feeling caught the
crowd and there were shouts and cries
of "Keep the flag" Don't let them
desecrate the f1agi"
The youth declared that they could
touch the flag only over his dead body,
and his melodramatic announcement
was received with cheers which en-
couraged him to further display. How
ever before he could carry out what
ever purpose was in his mind he was
hustled out Of the way and the patrol
wagon, with its load of prisoners and
the flags, started for the station.
Makes Scene at Jail
At the station this same youth ap-
peared and became very much excited
when ordered out of the way of the
officers who were searching the pris-
oners. Finally he was elected from
the station.
The Salvationists protested against
their arrest, and claimed that it was
an outrage on tne part OF tne pouce 10
break up their parade. They were re-
minded, however, that the law under
which they were arrested was an old
one, time-tried and tested, and that
without the regular permit they could
not march over the public streets.

tive officer of the army in Los AN
