Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York, Sept 30.-Police were
called to Carnegie hall to eject =
crowd of men and women who forced
their way into the building during the
tercentenary celebration of the land
ing of the Pilgrims. The intruders
carrying banners with anti-British in
scriptions created disorder with
shouts of "Hurrah for America"
Down with England"
The disturbance reached such pro-
portions that 1t was impossible for
the speakers to continue, and 1t was
decided to adjourn.
A group of women who said they
were members of an organization
known as 1.-THE American Women
Pickets for the Enforcement OF Amer
ica's War Aims" led the intruders.
Some of the banners they carried bore
the names of British delegates to the
tercentenary celebration and charae-
terized the delegates as British
spies"
The disturbance started when the
British anthem, "God Save the King
was reached Several boys and girls
in chorus of the musical program
left the stage, saying they would not
sing the number and that they did
not know it was on the program
Two men wearing army uniforms
and carrying the American flag also
left the stage.
When the piano and organ that ac-
companied the chorus broke into the
strains of the British anthem shouts
arose in various parts of the hall The
instruments continued, however, and
part of the chorus and audience start
ed singing the words of america" !"
At this time many of the chorus left
the stage
When the music stopped Samuel
GOmpers tried to speak, but his voice
was drowned in the uproar and he
gave up the attempt. The meeting
then was called off. Immediately
after several of the women went to
Mr.. Gompers and apologfzed for in
terrupting his speech. They said the
demonstration was not directed at
him. Mr.. Gompers made no reply.
Secretary of State Colby was sched-
uled to speak, but he had not arrived
when the disturbance began.
Mrs. Gertrude Corliss, president Of
the American Pickets, declared after
the meeting broke up that 'This or
ganization knows there is a plot to
make the United States part of the
British empire and that this Sulgrave
institution is party to it,"
Dts
stration, the women said, was to pro-
test against 'inveigling American
boys and girls into singing the Brit
ish national anthem" which, they
said, was "a reasonable act"

Inside the clubhouse, Mrs. Olmstead
had become nervous as to her boys
safety. Olmstead decided to see If
everything was right with the boy.
Pulling on heavy coat and rain hat,
he stepped from the beachhouse into
the storm.
Mrs. Olmstead and group of friends
stood at the beachhouse windows and
watched Olmstead's progress through
the storm. The son watched from the
door of the tent.
Fifteen feet from the club Olmstead
was struck by a bolt Of lightning. For
a full minute the crowd in the beach
house stared in horror and then a
score of the men rushed to the scene.
Mrs. Olmstead and the son were over
come.
The body was carried to the house.
where all efforts at resuscitation
proved unsuccessful. A litter was
made and the dead man placed on it,
then with six members of the club as
bearers the march to Chesterton, FIVE
miles away, through the toughest Sec
tion of the dunes, began. Six other
men marched in the rear to act as
relief bearers Thus the little party
arrived In the town of Chesterton.

visiting honey bees which undecidedly
cfrcled about the street for several
minutes before landing in and around
a small roadster owned by Wells Little

Der company of 1889 Broadway.
Excited automobilists were bewil-

persons believed that another tram

Scores of people were stung. Those

he was made lieutenant for bravery
In battle.
In 1916 he was captured by the
French, but escaped and made his way
back to his own regiment, where he
was put in the intelligence section. In
Brussels he had charge Of all papers
taken from captured or tnterned
soldiers and came into possession OF
Kincaid's discharge papers. In Berlin,
after the armistice, he helped break up
a meeting Of socialists by shooting one
of the speakers. When the radicals
came into power he was sentenced to
death. But he escaped and made his
way to Holland.
To avoid being sent back, he repre-
sented himself as Kincaid. He be-

authorities referred his case to the
American Relief society. which sent
him eventually to the base hospital at
Fort Sheridan for treatment-as Kin

Regularly twice a year, the interest
on the loan was paid. The appraiser
and the dolefuI youth of 1916 became
acquainted. Recently the debtor en-

deem the diamond. Nevin smiled ex-

The bees then commenced to swarm
off the roadster and buzzed about their
