Riot Inciting Speech.
From stan Correspondent Q; The Tribune.


Paterson, n. j., Nov. 3O.--Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn, the young /. ". W.
agitator, sat yesterday in the Paterson
Court House listening to sixteen mem
bers Of the police force repeat the
speech with which they declared she
had melted the silk mill strikers to
violence almost three years ago.

they quoted, "that this strike must not
be a failure. ! understand that some

places of employment, and il they do
not come out with you, | want you
people to 20 into the mills, drive them
out, knock them out, club them out, and
do this il it takes extreme force"
At the often-auoted speech to Judge
Abram Klenert, the defendant sat
smiling, not knowing whether for that
speech she would spend seven years in
prison or establish the constitution
atty Of free speech.

she said. "Not 1; but freedom OF

She was almost alone in the trial,
so far as her friends went. The day
was marked by the complete absence
of |. W. W. demonstrations and crowds,
and the presence of only few mem
hers of the defence committee. Against
her were arraigned the law and author
ity of Paterson, as represented by its
police force, each member telling al
most word for word how she had in
cited the silk mill workers on Febru-
ary 25, 1913. But Elizabeth Gurley
Flynn, looking serene and confident
and very much at home with her little
black hat and her long black coat
thrown off and her hands folded in her
lap, listened apparently undisturbed.

FORMER DIRECTOR OF new HAVEN

New York, June 15.-The federal dis
;rict court today granted immunity to
John l.. Billiard, former director Of the
New York. New Haven & Hartford Rail
read Co. who was indicted with 20 other
directors. past and present. for alleged
criminal violation OF the antitrust law
Mr. Billiard claimed immunity on tho
ground that he had testified before the
interstate commerce commission and the
federal grand jury which in 1912 indicted
Charles s. Mellen, then president of the
New Haven road; Presisent Chamberlln
of the Grand Trunk Railway Co., and
Chairman Smithers, on charges of con-
spiracy.
The court denied the governments mo-
ton that jurgment of conviction be
entered against Edward D. Robbins. 4
director and former counsel of the New
Haven road. because of the overriding of
Mr.. Robbins plea in bar to the indict-
ment. II was assumed this would result
in Mr. Robbins entering a plea to the
Indictment and standing trial.
Mr.. Billiard is head Of the J. L. Billiard
Co. whose name was brought into the
investigation of the Boston & Maine
Railroad stock deals.

already allowed for war purposes.
In introducing the measure Premier
AsQuith remarked that from April l to
June u the expenditure had been at the
rate Of 2.s6a.no pounds daily. He esti-
mated that the total daily expenditure
during the currency Of the new credit
would be no less than 100000 pounds,
for the reason that as the war extended
its area Great Britain's financial obliga-
tons to the Allies would increase.
In a general survey Of the situation
the premier referred to the reconstruc-
ton OF the government. He declared he
would not have been justified in taking
the course he did in this regard under
the pressure Of outside influence or be-
cause Of temporary embarrassment.
The task was as unwelcome as could
fall to the lot Of any man.

himself and his new colleagues, the

GREWsoME GIFT.
Lord Nelson Said to Have cssri,

Years. y

A grewsome gift was made to Lord
Nelson by one of his captains, a mend

fought under him in the Battle OF tiisl
Nile.
1t will be remembered that thu
French flagship rOrient, 100 guns

after the French Admiral, Brueys, had

doomed F,renchman. The battle was
begun late in the afternoon and conf

AS to the motive, it is recorded: THE
praises showered upon Nelson were
SO extravagant that" in the opinion
of Captain Hallowell. "he needed a re-.
minder lest he should think himself
immortal"
Perhaps the most extraordinary part
of the affair was that Nelson, instead
Of being offended, was evidently
pleased with the gift. He had it
placed behind his chair In the dining
salon. When he afterward changed
his flag to the Foudroyant It was
placed on the quarterback.
He observed his officers one dayI
