struck some OF them in the face
For two hours the park, where dem

The trouble began when General
Mrs. Flora Drummond mounted
wagon and started to speak to the
great assemblage. which was largely
made up OF youths, who had armed
themselves with ammunition OF varl-
GUS descriptions or with trumpets,
mouth organs and bells. Her appear

the signal for an outburst of deafen-

women to the tube station, but the
crowd brushed them aside and
dragged the women up and down the
street In the melee one woman's eye
was bIackened and the clothes of all
were torn and disheveled.
One of the speakers, a Miss Rogers,
collapsed as she was being escorted
from the park, and her clothes were
on the point of being torn from her
when the police succeeded in rescuing
the woman.
1t was regular stand-up fight be-
tween the police and the crowds.
