BAN ON RED FLAG
VOTED, IS TO SEVEN
McGarry Of Brooklyn Only AL
derman to Vote With Six
Socialists Present.
BAR INCLUDES MEETINGS
Enright Demands Curb on Sol
diers and Provost Marshal
Explains Situation.

BY a vote Of So to Z the Board OF
Aldermen yesterday passed the ordi-
nance prohibiting the display Of the
red flag in parades, meetings or other
public places. Alderman William p.
McGarry of Brooklyn was the only
member not a Socialist to vote against
the measure. One OF the seven So
cialist members was kept away from
the meeting by sickness.
As originally introduced by Alder
man Kenneally the ordinance referred
solely to tie red nag. As amended in
committee and passed II provided that
no red or black nag. no banner or en-
sign or sign bearing upon It any in
scription opposed to organized gov
eminent or sacrilegious in It's nature
or opposed to public morals. shall be
displayed in public parades or public
places or public assemblies.
Door Locked TO Prevent Crush.
There was not room in the small
gallery TO hold all who had come to
listen to the debate. After 100 seats
had been given to the members Of the
Woman's City Club only a few hun
dred other persons could crowd in.
No person was allowed on the floor
aside from those having the right to
be there.
The doors were locked to prevent
others from getting in. Several So
clalIst women were loud in protest
when they discovered their inability
to get in. Tho corridors were filled
with people who waited several hours
until action on the ordinance was
taken.
The scenes enacted last night" said
Alderman Kenneally, opening the de-
bate, show a necessity for ouch an
ordinance. It Is not aimed against
any political party. but what the red
flag stands for. anarchy as demon
strated IN Russia. It is claimed that
the red fiag stands for the brotherhood
OF man. We know that under the REL
rag in Russia a man who owns prop
erty or wears a decent suit Of clothes
Is struck down in cold blood without
trial. That's what the red nag
stands for.
There Is enough red in the Amer
lean nag to typify the brotherhood Of
man. America should have only one
nag. 1t Is notorious that the profess
sional agitator who stirs up the igno
rant TO carry the red flag does not
march in parades with this emblem on
his shoulder.
ANY man who has the protection Of
the law OF the land which he received
at last nights meeting and Is not sat
isffed should 60 back to the country
from which he came"
Alderman Kenneally has said that
we ineite persons to deeds OF violence, g."
said Alderman Algernon Lee. leader Of
the Socialists. II demand the proof
and trurl the accusation back in the
face OF the accuser. We know that
deliberate attempts were made last
night TO incite those at the meeting

into rIotous demonstrations. but those
attempts failed"

into riotous demonstrations. but those
attempts failed"
Dedses "Unfair'' a.estion.
DO Socialists put the red nag above
the American nas?" asked Alderman
Squiers.
The majority Of the members OF
this board are members of the Roman
Catholic Church." answered Alder
man Lee. They know that in the
past IL was a common thing for them
to be asked II they put the Papacy
above the nation. The answer the
Catholics gave was that the question
wasNhnfair."
most OF the trouble at the Socialist
meeting at Madison Square Garden
Monday evening was yesterday cred
tied to soldiers and sailors in uniform
BY Police Commissioner Enright. who
said that he had written a letter to
Mayor Hylan about their conduct. He
defended the conduct OF the police and
expressed hope for an elimination Of
disorder in the future. as he said he
understood that the Socialists here bad
decided TO abandon the red flag
pAoStu uhucI hH OIIlClA Dan DY the

II have said something in my letter
to the Mayor about the actions. of the
sailors and soldiers" said the Commits
sioner. From what am led to be-
!leve sailors and soldiers made most
Of the trouble Monday night. II men
IN uniform would mind their own BUSH
ness and act in an orderly manner the
Police Department can handle the rest.
The police can handle citizens, but
they do not like to have sailors or
soldiers interfere. They don't like TO
do anything to a man in uniform.
Asked Provost MarshaI's Aid,
We tried TO get the Provost Mar
sksl Monday night to send some men
to the Garden to handle the soldiers.
but II they arrived We did not see
them. II their rowdyism continues
something will have to be done with
them"

ferenoes, and that the Americans
stand for a true Wilson peace. for a
full meaning and Interpretation Of the
fourteen points as at FIRST stated and,
above all, for a democratic league OF
nations based upon free trade and
universal disarmament"
Mr.. Pell said he was against class
government Of every and any kind.
and he thought that II this country
was going TO send food to Russia It
should be evenly distributed, and that
this Government had a perfect right
TO send who 1t wanted into the country
to see that such distribution was car
ried out.
The last speaker Of the evening was
Oswald g. Willard, editor or the Ma
tion. He protested against the contin-
uance OF the censorship Of the press.
He said that at the beginning Of the
war not an editor to his knowledge OPP
posed a legitimate censorship which
would prohibit the enemy from obtain
ing valuable information. This CEN
sorship deteriorated, AZ IL had in Eu-
rope, to an attempt to control public
opinion.
The time has come 90 demand the
adjustment Of the censorship" said
Mr.. Willard. 1T hope you will voice
your protests to Congressman Pell and
every one in public life against the
censorship OF the press and the pre-
vention Of public discussion on prob
lens Of the day"
A group Of civilians and soldiers got
into fight at Lexington avenue and
Fifty-eighth street. The soldiers
downed the civilians and were them
selves downed by policemen. Mem
bers OF the provost guard Joined in
the fight and several men were
bumped and cut in the mixup. Three
men wearing the uniforms Of privates
finally were placed under arrest by the
provost guards and taken away In a
police patrol.
Nothing at all happened when the
meeting was over and the crowd flled
out OF the hall BY that time the
combined forces OF the police and the
provost guard had control OF the stu
alton. the space in front Of the hall
had been cleared and the men and
women went quietly away. paying no
attention to the hooting and singing
soldiers.
Several hundred sailors, driven
away from Palm Garden by the police
reserves. formed in columns of eight
and marched over to Broadway look
ing for red flags or anything else Of
fering possibilities of trouble Follow
ing self-appointed leader who car
ried an American flag. they marched
up and down Broadway. blocking
traffic and pushing pedestrians of the
sidewalk. They picked up a group of
French sailors, but couldn't find
enough excitement to keep them to-
gether so they began splitting up into
groups Of FIVE or six. BY the time the
column H--shed Times Square on its
southwark march 1t had dwindled into
a corporals guard.
Some deploying groups, however.
marched down the side streets, kick
ing over ash cans or playing football
with bundles OF papers which had
been left out by householders to await
the appearance OF the garbage man.
For an hour or more they carried on
their antics without any apparent in
reference from the police.

Major p. l.. Thomas, Provost Mar
shall Of New York city. ISSUED last
night the following statement:
Provost Guard Headquarters was
notified as to possible trouble at Madl-
son Square Garden last Monday night
at about 9:45 o'clock. At the time the
mobile detachment, which is the re-
serve detachment Of the guard. was at
Lenox avenue and l3sth street. At
the request of the Police Department
the remainder OF the guard was scat
tered on duty throughout the city, or
on duly authorized leave.
THE Provost Guard Is an organiza-
ton OF 400 men, 100 Of whom are
available for patrol duty. II is worked
to its full capacity, with the result that
Il is normally scattered In email de-
tachments throughout the city. Ordl-
narily a mobile patrol detachment In
held in reserve to respond to emer-
gency calls. A detachment requires
a reasonable time to assemble to reach
a scene OF trouble.
Soldiers and sailors violating the
civil laws are subject to the same con-
troll by the city police as are civilians.
Since the Monday nights occur
renee arrangements have been made
with the Police Department whereby
the Provost Marshal will in the future
be informed when trouble is expected,
and a detachment OF the guard can
then be sent Of size sufficient to han
die any body OF soldiers that may be
present. up to the limit Of the strength
Of the organization"

CRISP ISSHORT
5000 BALES, COTTON
REPORT OF COTTON GiNNED TO
JANUARY FIRST SHOWS MORE
THAN IS PERCENT
SHORTAGE

Crisp got only IS percent of crop
of cotton in 1917 as compared with
the yield of 1916. The total cotton
ginned to January first, this year was
1886 bales while in 1916 to the same
time Crisp ginned 2O,SOS.
Thomas county ginned only 7,541
bales. This figure is given because
of the effect of the boil weevil work
which was so prevalent in that section.
Last year should have been a bet
ter cotton year in Crisp than was 1916
and it is very nearly certain that there
was larger acreage. The figures
look like bool weevil incroachment in
1918 may be looked upon as more
than ordinary problem.
