London, May 4.?Wild scenes of disorder occurred today at the dem onstration In Trafalgar square un ; dor the auspices of the free speech defense committee. The police tried to prevent speeches from the White hall side of the plinth of the Nelson column and only the intervention of .lames Kier Hurdle, Socialist and Independent Labor member of the house of commons, who was chair man of the meeting, prevented, a se rious riot. As it was the disorders many times culminating in fisticuffs between the crowd and the police continued for almost two hours. 11 ythe time the marching Socialist, labor and other organizations, with bands playing the Marsellalso reach ed Trafalgar square, 20,000 persons had gathered there and as many more in the surrounding street j. Permission to hold a meeting was given at the last moment on the un derstanding that no BUffrngetto should bo allowed to speak. Unable ?tu se cure permission to march as an or ganization the supporters of the Wo men's Social and Political union 1 inarched with the dockers, their col ors Hying preceded by a huge ban ner inscribed. "Where there's a will, there's a way." Flags of the Women's Social ami Political union were hoisted on the plinth from Which they waved dur ing the meeting. Trouble began when Socialist speakers started to address the crowd from the Whitehall side of the col umn. The promise had been given I that no speaking should take place on this side because of interference i with traffic. A husky police sergeant, standing on the plinth, hurled the speaker down on the lTcads of the crowd below. The crowd then rushed Ihc plinth and endeavored t<> replace the speaker, It looked for a time as it their efforts would plovo successful,; , but mounted police ruthlessly rode i down the rioters, .lames Kier llardic then interfered and the Socialist , speak* r was allowed to regain his ! place. In a moment a suffragette attempt ed to climb to the plinth. The police I below tried to pull her back but sym- i pnthl'/.ors on the platform succeeded I in dragging her u paftor she had sac-, I rlflccd some clothes loft in the hands ; of police. In retaliation a policeman snatched, la suffragette banner from a girl who was waving it from the back of one of the sea lions. She struck the policeman, 111 the face and her friends rognlncd the banner, minus the staff. The struggle angered the crowd and the disorder became so genera) thai Commissioner Wells, commanding the mounted police, ordered the While hall side cleared. The order was car ried out so roughly by the horsemen that Commissioner Wells, noting the temper of the crowd, retired in favor of another commissioner. As he was leaving Wells was showered with eggs and oranges and other missiles. lights between the police and peo ple then became general. the chief results of which were battered faces and minor injuries on both sups. Many rioters were arrested but the crowds succeeded in rescuing most of the prisoners. There wore a large number of isolated encounters. Requested to do so by the police, James Kier llardic asked the crowd to disperse, which it reluctantly did. Mrs. Dospnrd and other suffragettes, spoke without interference. Any attempt to arrest the women, in the temper of the assemblage, probably would have resulted in a i dangerous situation. I Addresses denouncing the govern 1 mont'S alleged interference with the i right of free speech were made by several members of parliamnt. Includ 1 ing Mr. Hardlc, Joseph Clement Wodg 1 wood and Joseph Martin, Liberals ami . Robert Cunninghani-Oarham. A lot ! tor from George Tansbury, forinor Socialist member of parliament, who was bound over yesterday in the sum of $10.01)0 to keep the peace, was road, demanding free speech. < iin.niti vs iiaiit 1 Keep it ( lean and Free from Disease by tiHlng PARISIAN SAGE.
