THEIR DEFENSE

The Wilmington Turngemeinde has
issued a statement concerning the OBJ
jects of that organization and the
views of the members relative to the
interruption by the police on sunday
evening, February 20 when an enter
tainment in Turn Hall was stopped.
The statement sets forth that the
action of the police was arbitrary and
that il has caused false rumors to be
circulated The Turngemeinde, 1t is
pointed out, has been in existence
here for fifty years and that for forty
five years similar entertainments such
as the one the police stopped, had
been given in all that period without
a complaint being registered by any
one.
Several gymnastic instructors are
employed and once a month on a Sun
day evening an entertainment is
given IN which the children play the
dominant part. The children under the
direction of instructors. are put
through the various exercises taught
them to show their parents how they
have progressed. The Turner's consid-
er that Chief of Police Black exag-
gerated the conditions as he said he
found them on Sunday, February "a

full" and that the hall was fire

The children Chief Black saw on
the stage it is pointed out were the
scholars donning their suits for their
exhibition, they say. The Turner's say
they consider il no crime to drink a
glass of beer and admit there is a
place in the basement of the building
used for that purpose. They also deny
