bljr Evicted When He Attempted
to Speok.
Williston, April 20.—Huey Long's
“sh*re-the>-wealth” campaign came to
a sudden halt here _yesterday After
noon, when the Rev. G. L. K. Smith,
of Shreveport, La., speaking from
atop a sound truck, was forcibly evict
ed by members of a crowd of listeners,
who gathered) around the truck, and
ordered him to leave town.
The town council had turned down
a permit for the open air meeting but
Smith rented a vacant lot on the
main street and proceeded to broad
cast his speech fronj the top of the
truck, by mean s of an amplifier.' Cer
tain citizens in the crowd objected to
Smith making his speech after the
permit was turned down and when
Smith unheeded the protests he was
forced to quit r when a member of the
crowd tore the wire from the ampli
fier, silencing it. Smith, seeing it wa s
useless to further attempt his speech,
teld his aides to load their equipment
m the truck and all left Williston
shortly after, headed toward Elko.
Says “Mob” Threatened Him.
Columbia, April 19.—The Rev. G.
L. K. Smith, national organizer for
Senator Huey P. Long’s “share-the-
wealth” clubs, charged here today that
he was threatened! by a man with an
“open knife” and a “mob” at a meet
ing in Williston today.
Smith said that as the man with the
knife “started up the ladder to the
platform . . . admirers of mine
showed signs of violence.” adding that
the man then “turned on my techni
cian, Bob Taylor, a cripple.”
He said that when he arrived in
Williston with his sound truck he
was informed that hi s permit to speak
had t* 611 revoked but that at the in
sistence of a group of people he secur
ed a private lot on which to hold his
meeting.
From Williston, there were denials
that anyone had drawn a knife on
Smith or Taylor.

ed Yhi* Evening.—Junior-Senior
. - Reception.
Featuring the beginning of Barn
well School finals, the Grammar
School will present an operetta, “Alice
in Wonderland,” this (Thursday) even
ing at 8 ’o’clock, in the school auditor
ium. About seventy-five children will
(participate in this performance.
Friday evening Che Juniors will en-a
tertain the Senior s with the annual
Junior-Senior reception. The pavilion
Fuller Park will be the scone for
this brilliant affair.
The Senior Glass bias selected! as its
dramatic production this year “Huckle
berry Finn” based on the classic novel
thatVon fame and fortune for Samuel
Clemens, causing him to be known as
Aemrica’s greatest humorist. Re
hearsals are now ifi progress end May
3rd is the date set for iCs presentation.
This is a thoroughly modern play
packed with laughs and full of clean,
wholesome entertainment. It deals
with “Huck’s” (J. F. Ready) prob
lems during childhood! and after. All
of his boyish pranks, as well as his
si ruggle to aid his dear “Aunt Polly”
(Mary Brown), and “Aunt Ruth” (Pol
ly Fales) are portrayed very vividly
with the help of “Tom Sawyer” (S. E.
Moore) and “Mary Jame” (Elizabeth
Mace), who knows EVERYTHING go
ing on in town. You’ll howl at “Aunt
Polly,” who is “so nervous”; you’ll
thrill when you see “Huck” fighting
for his ideals; you’ll double up with
mirth when you see “Fred Raymond”
(David! Cooper) trying to propose to
“Aunt Ruth”; you’ll be ghost stricken
along with “Melba White” (Elizabeth
Flails), the maid of the Watson house
hold. Of no less importance are the
roles played by Edith Birt (“Clara
Woppinger,” Deaconess of the church),
Myrtle Creech (“Aunt Woppinger”)
and Otis Sanders (“John Finn”,
Huck’ s father.)
On May 19 the Rev. Lewis M. Tay-
ler, reo-or of the Episcopal Church of
