| l mittee and of by far the majority of I the 3,200 persons crowded into the | hall. He read the first resolution: Resolved, That we, the members of the American Rights Committee and i their friends, in general meeting as l semb1ed, hereby pledge our hearty 1 support to the President of the United States in his firm stand in defence of the rights of American citizens as an- ! nounced by him in his letter of the i 24th day of February, 1916, to the chairman of the Senate Committee on l Foreign Relations, and we condemn all members of the Congress of the United States who are willing to sur render those rights under the pressure of German threats.''
 The hu1laba1oo started all over I-again, with perhaps 100 men shrieking hatred for England. MT. Putnam ap- pea1ed square1y to the police:
 we have a right to law and order" he shouted 'tI call on the city of New York to enforce our rights!'' Big Tom Underhil1, police captain at the West filth street station, charged straight down into the mob of disturb CTS and reached for one of the ring leaders. This person made the mis- take of his life. He aimed a wa11op for Underhill's chin, missed, and the next instant he was in the sweet land of dreams as they carried him out feet first Others went with him, venting their wrath in screams-not mere shouts-but too discreet to fight back. The whole place was boiling. Police men were combing the audience up- stairs and down. A shril1 voice cut the tumult.
 One Woman Elected.
 '"Curse all the British''-and one had just time to see a skirt flirting efd dn ell rather young fled in haste to avoid a clawlng police hand. It was five minutes be- fore the police quel1ed this particular outbreak and gave MT. Abbot a chance to read the second set Of reso- lutions. These, after reciting the Teu- tonic war crimes complained of and stating that the United States ought to side with the Allies, not only be- cause of principles of humanity, jus tice and democracy. but because It would tend to shorten the war. ex- pressed the committees sentiments as follows:
 Resolved, That the safety and honor of the American people and their duty to defend and maintain the rights of humanity require us to approve the cause for which the Entente Allies are fighting, and to extend to these Allies by any means in our power, not only sympathy. but direct co-opera-
  that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shah not per1sh from the earthS and,
 Resolved, further, That in spite of the unwarranted destruction Of American lives there should be be- tween the American people and the German people no ennity, and that when the German shall abjure, will the dream of empire, the pern1c1ous ideals of their present rulers, the Americans will rejoice to come again into fellowship with them in the work of advancing the true ideals Of Jus tice, humanity and civilization.
 Both were adopted with roar of ayes, few ha1ting noes registered against the first. a considerable voice lifted against the second; but 1t was apparent that at least nine persons out of every ten in the hall were en- Enthusiastically in approval. After the vote had been taken, a big man. hisn by the sound of him, snorted disgust from his seat back in the auditorium. The police warned him to keep quiet. He yelled back dehant1y and waved his little American, flag. Then they went at him. He fought like wild cat until he was borne down by the weight of numbers As he left the nall same face that he had carried into the hall.
 Bearded Man Dragged Out.
 man with black beard and dead white face leaned over the rail or the ton gallery and yelled for the chair mans ear-ye1led just once, and then he was passed by system Of relays and with incredible speed back to the wall down three flights of stairs and out<in Fifty-second street. Enings like tha. were happening most all the time and no newspaper sent enough war correspondents properly to cover all of the episodes of that HcroWdeo evening.
 Langdon c. Stewardson, ex-pres1dent of Hobart College, lit into the Ger mans, pretty roughly and got along 1ri+bo1,t much interruption until, when he came to denounee the activities or German agents in this country, he said:
 .Fven the Congress Of the United States has been corrupted!
 Up started a bearded man near the front of the auditorium and whose face burned redIy and whose fists were saving the air in anger,
 That's a damned He!'' he threw at MT. Stewardson. congress mas not been corrupted"
 Policemen slid; down the aisle and sripped him. He struggled for a while, then gave in and was dragged out.
 we ought to send message to the President tonight continued Mr. Stewardson, "that we want him to say to Won Bernstorf that we have reached the breaking point. Weak nersons say this would mean war. doubt it. But suppose it did? What then"

 Agnes Repp1ier just out of the hos pitaI gave her opinion of W. J. Bryan he was undermining our Pres id@Gt, and with flowers of speech cov ering up his infrmity of purpose" She believed we would be in real danger of invasion from Germany after this. war Is over.
