FREE SPEECH DENIED
MORMONS IN CAMDEN
AT GENTLES' REQUEST
Mayor Ellis, After Conference
With Ministers, Who Charge
Polygamy, Prohibits
Street Meetings
ELDER SAYS HE'LL FIGHT

Mormons in Camden say they will hold
,,reet meetings in that city despite the
affection of the authorities. Their lead
srs declare they will pay no attention to
,be order OF Mayor Ellis that the police
sbaIl stop their public speech h-making.
they assert that II Mayor Ellis continues
to interfere with their activities, they will
carry their grievances into court.
.'we are going to have meetings on the
streets or else they'll feed us In jail"
ssid Grover N. Arlington, leader of the
Mormons In eastern Pennsylvania and
New Jersey THE whole matter has gone
Gar enough. II is time TO call halt. We
have tried to get a permit long enough.
N necessary we will carry the matter
into the courts"
The Mayor gave orders to the police to
atop Mormon meetings, following a con-
ference with representative ministers of
the Protestant denominations. The minis
ters on their side. say they are ready
10 continue the fight to drive the Nor
mons out of Camden county and as a
result of bitterness being displayed in
the controversy an open clash is expected
before long.
The Mayor declared he had full legal
drht to prohibit the meetings and said
he had been so advised by the City
solicitor, e. @. c. Bleakley.
The ministers declared that two years
apo Mormon missionaries converted Gen.
tIle girls and made them plural wives of
members of the church in Utah.
Elder Arlington said this was absolute
iv untrue He admitted they had con-
yerted one girl in Camden and that she
was living in Salt Lake City, but said
she was not married.
'There has never been a so-called
Mural marriage sanctioned by the Nor
mon Church in the last 25 years." he
said. "a person practicing polygamy
now Is excommunicated from the church.
II Is against the policy of the church to
give. polygamy the slightest encourage
ment" -
Mr.. Arlington said he was treated un-
fairly by Mayor Ellis inasmuch as he
was not allowed to attend the meeting
with the Protestant clergymen. Despite
the decision of the mayor to uphold the
contention of the clergymen, the Nor
mons held a meeting at Broadway and
Newton street In the evening of the day
of the conference and the meeting con-
tinued almost an hour before 1t was dis
persed.
II is their intention, the Mormons say,
10 hold meetings until cold weather sets
In. The original ruling of Mayor Ellis
stands, however. 1t is believed some of
the ministers will attend the meetings II
any are held and they learn of II be-
foreband.
