Members of Industrial Workers Precipitate Fight at
 Socialist May Day Meeting.
WOMAN BUSHES TO DEFENCE OF THE COLORS
Stars and Stripes Torn From Speakers Platform New York And Red Flag Substituted Characterized as Dirty Rag" By The Mob-Socialist Leader Discaims All Responsibility For the Disgraceful Episode.

New York, May 1.-The Stars and Stripes were torn down and trampled under foot and a red flag substituted during a fierce fiht at May Day meet ing of the socialist part and affiliated union nj Union Park Square late to- day. That a serious panic did not en- sue is believed to have been due to the fact that thousands of persons on the outskirts of the crowd did not know what the trouble was Responsibility for the tearing down of the flag is representatives on the platform ap- pear to have done their best to pro- tect the national colors.
 Occurred in Union Square.
 The trouble started at the conclusion of a parade of 5000 men and women who gathered in Union Square Park for speechmaking. Red banners, the emblems of socialism, already adorned the speakers platform and the band was playing the "Marseillaise" when the Stars and Stripes were carried to the stand as the first speaker was about to be introduced. Instantly there was the widest excitement
 Called a Dirty Rag"
 "Take that dirty rag down" went up a cry from the crowd. But those on the platform held their ground and some with cooler heads tried to quiet the tumult that had broken out.
 Fist Fight Follows.
 We don't recognize that flag cried a man in front as he tried to reach the platform. Some of those on the platform tried to protect the flag and fist fight resulted in which a lone policeman was the only officer who figured. His club knocked three men down. Several men were tossed bodily over the platform rail into the crowd. Bloody faces were numerous

 General Funeral Tomorrow.
 As nearly all of the bodies for which relatives came here have been turned over to them. it seems likely that a majority of the 190 brought in by the Mackay- Bennett, many Of them identi- fled, Wilt be buried in Hal fax. 1t had been proposed that the dead be kept a fortnight, but conditions are such that prompt interment will be imperative, and 1t is planned to have 8 general funeral on Friday next. In order that 4elatives may have assur- ance that their dead were cherished as long as possible, photographs of bod tes were taken today. together with physical measurements and description of clothing and trinkets.

 W. H. Harrison, Bruce Ismay's sec rotary, was buried in Halifax today. His home was near Liverpool.

STATE COMMITTEE.
Lively Discussion Over the Election of
 New Committee.


 Bridgeport, Conn, May 1-The meeting of the democratic state cen tral committee not only was a pro- uacted session but it proved very lively to the members present. Thirty three of the thirty-five responded to the call, but during the heat of the de- bate several members passed in and out of the room. In the matter of a contest over the seating of the two Danbury delegates, Thomas Barrett, the town chairman, and Michael Lynch were seated by a vote of 16 to 15. They were the contestants against Thomas Farrell and M. r. Kane. There was considerable debate over the contest. The motion to seat Barrett and Lynch
 was made by MT Cunningham of New Haven. With the Danbury delegates seated the temporary roll as prepared by Secretary Thomas was approved. In an informal way the matter of electing a new state central commit tee at this time was brought up. It gave rise to a debate which proved | vigorous. Afterwards an explanation
 was given that the committee at it's 1 January meeting overlooked action on this matter. The rules. as interpreted
 by some, provide for an election at the May convention in presidential election years. In off years the election of a new committee comes at the fall elec- ton From informal debate a contest developed over the issue.
 Senator T. J. Spellacy held the
 proxy of Dr. Henry McManus of the
 Second district, owing to the intended retirement of the latter Under direc- | tion of the senatorial convention Sen ator Spellacy favored having the new | committee chosen at this time. Dr. | McManus was elected in May, 1908, as provision had been made at that time for committeeman elections.
 After debate a motion to instruct ! senatorial district conventions to elect | committeeman was lost, IT to 12. This | left the question in a shape wherein it
 could be brought up by resolution in
 the convention if any delegate desired
 to do so.
 Committeeman James B. Martin and John F. Doughan of the Eighth and Eleventh districts, in New Haven, who
 were understood to favor Representa- tive Frank Kenna for the place of Dr Brothers in the Ninth district, Dr Brothers having removed to Brooklyn were in support of the plan to order 6 new election. They were opposed by
 r. s. Cunningham of the Tenth dis tfict who favors Kenneth Wynne fol Dr. Brothers place.
 After the committee adjourned thu question at issue was generally dis cussed, and there were numerous con- lferences among those who favored electing a new committee at this time.

ANOTHER BREAK IN
 MISSISSIPPI LEVEEs.
May Result in Inundation of Sugar
 Cane Islands.

New Orleans, La, May 1-Another serious break occurred late this after noon In the Mississippi river levees at Torras, La, on the west side of the swollen stream. The break came at 5.30 o'clock, and within two hours 300 feet of the IS00 foot embsnkment had been carried away. No lives are re- ported lost A large force of workmen and material were immediately ordered to the scene and an effort is being made to cheek the crevasse.
 UnNess the Torras crevasse can be closed, which appeared doubtful to- night, inestimable damage will be add ed to the already heavy tolls in prop erty destruction. A permanent ere vase at Torras means the inundation of the vast sugar cane islands along the bank for 8 distance of perhaps 50 miles.
 The territory which lies in the path of the Torras creyasse is vastly richer and more densely populated than the several millions of acres already inun- dated.
 Reports today from northeast Louisi- ana added several thousand victims to the homeless list.
 It is estimated the United States government is now furnishing ratfons for 120,000 homeless persons in Louisi- ana and. Mississippi and tonight the prospects are that this number will be increased by 50,090 within another week

 Socialist Programme Abandoned.
 With nothing but red banners to decorate the platform the meeting pro- ceededs but the programme as arrang- ed by the socialist party had to be given up and the speakers were most- ly from the ranks of the Industrial Workers of the World.
 Done By Industrial Workers.
 Edward Cassidy and other officers of the socialist party of New York, under whose auspices a big parade today and this afternoons meeting were supposed to be held, in attempt- ing to explain how it happened, said:
 The tearing 'down of the American flag was not the fault of the socialist party. It was done by men in the ranks of the Industrial Workers of the World. The socialist party will in a few days officially repudiate this meeting"

 And when a vote is a tie the ben eft of the doubt will be given to the Roosevelt men," he added, amid cheers. Senator Penrose, although delegate, did not attend the conven- tion, but his chief lieutenant State Senator James P. McNichol, the Phil adelphia leader remained throughout the, six hours the convention was in session and saw his wing of the party shorn of power. Good bye, Bill" he said as he shook hands with Finn in the last moment of the convention Good bye, Jim," Finn replied. "l GU arc a game sport. You have been shooting at others for so long I didn't know how you would take it''

ONLY NATIVES IN THE BOATS.
New Law Decrees None But Jersexnnan
 Shall Plant Oyster Spawn.

Bivalve. N. J., May 1.--Oyster plant ing boats put out from here yesterday and today to begin the seasons laying down of oyster spawn with fewer men than the owners wished to carry Boats that should have eight went out with five or six. Some seven men boats went out with but three men. In some eases there was only one experi- enced man on board.
 This was the effect of a new law compelling the employment of resi- dents of New Jersey in oyster planting boats. The law is believed to be in conflict with the United States consti- tuition in that it denies citizens rights within the state of New Jersey which they have elsewhere. The planters are obey1ng, however. In other years eE- pert negro planters from southern ports were employed.

EXPECTED SUN SPOTS APPEAR.
Weather Predictions Verified and Many
 Forecasts Set Forth.

San Jose, Cal, May 1.--Father Picard of the santa Clara college observatory issued the following statement today.
 The eventful solar group of spots has reappedred, according to expeeta- ton. It stands now near the eastern limb in latitude 10 degrees south and longitude 65 degrees from central.
 All weather disturbances based up- on it since March have been verified to tho very date, and we venture to sketch the weather of May as fol- lows;
 There will be disturbances on the coast from May 3 to 6, from May s to Il, from May II to IT, and from May p to 26. The first two already have been announced privately.
 According to advices received from w. T. Poster of Washington and from Professor NOdson of France, a great solar manifestation will occur on which the weather of June could be deline- ated even now. Hence 1t appears to be a mistake on the part of certain writ CTS to say boldly that nothing is known as to the cause of sun spots; they are due simply to planetary in duence at the time of heiocentric con- functions, oppositions, and even quad ratureS"

BUST PRESENTED TO
 THE UNITED STATES Gift of French People Formally Turn ed Over Last Night.

New York, May 1.-The 1resenta- tion of the bust of La France" by the sculptor Auguste Rodin as a gift from the French people to the citizens of the United States, was made at a banquet given tonight in honor of the French delegation, headed by Gabriel HanotauX, former foreign minister of France, by the Lake Champlain As sociation and the tercentenary com mission of New York and Vermont Nearly 250 persons attended the func- tiOn and important addresses were de- livered by Attorney General Wicker sham, Ambassador Juuuerand, Gabriel HanOtauX, Senator Henry w. Hill, Louis Bartheau, former French min ister of public works, Baron D'Estour- nenes de Constant acting Governor Conway of New York; Governor Mead of Vermont and Mayor Gaynor of New York

Attorney General Wick ersham was the first to rise. He ac- cepted the gift in the name of Presi- dent Taft. The attorney general eX- tended a warm welcome to the distin- guished French embassy which form ally presented the bust as a token of the enduring friendship of France for America and paid a high tribute to the illustrious Frenchmen whose names are woven in American history.
 MT. WicEersham eulogized Champ lain and gae him the credit of being the first to lay before the world the project of the Panama Canal In 1899 the speaker declared, Champlain call ed attention to the fact that a canal across the Isthmus of Panama would shorten the distance from Spain to Peru by 1,500 leagues. It was an- other great Frenchman, De Lesseps, the attorney general added who was the first to put the idea into practical application.
