nesses to what is supposed to be the
incident referred to, and follows:
A man in a laundry wagon declared
he would drive through the process
sion, but when assured by the
mounted escorts and one of the mar
shals that it would not be well to
attempt it, he soon became engaged
in watching the imposing pageant

of this the following dispatch was
given out by the Associated Press
which could not be verified ever
though they should try: L
