Director Wilson Says Meet
ing Was Suppressed to
Prevent Disorder
WARNED OP DISTURBANCE
Wilson Says He's for Free
I Speech, but Situation War
ranted His Action
! City News in Brief
Director Wilson, of the Department of
Publlo Safety, announced today that the
peace meeting scheduled to take place at
the Broad StrcetTheatre was "prevented
by the police last night aa a precaution
against disorder,
, He eald ho thought It Inadvisable to
permlt the meeting In view of the present
crisis. The Director ndded that while the
sponsors for th"e meeting and those In
charge wero thoroughly responsible persons
they could not be responsible for thdso who
would havo attended.
Asked If this was not curtailing the
right of froe speech, ho replied:
"I thoroughly favor free speech, but the
incident at Baltimore Is the answer to any
question -concerning the department's action
last night."
A peace meeting In Baltimore ended in
a riot
Other meetings In the future will be gov
erned by the results of Investigations of
the applications. The meotlng last night
Is a closed Incident.
WARNED OF "TROUBLE
' It was learned that a report received by
the police that there would be trouble at
the peace meeting yesterday was the real
cause of their action Word to this effect
was received by Superintendent of Police
Robinson on Saturday afternoon. It Is not
known from what sources this threat came,
but the department thought it better to take
no chances.
Steps will bo taken Immediately by the
Emergency Peace Federation to hold a
public meeting In this city. John B.
Leeds, chairman of the executive commit
tee of the organization, said today that the
police exceeded their authority In prevent
ing a meeting of the federation last night
and demands for the rlgh of assembly will
be made at a meeting to be held tomorrow
night at the Friends" Meeting House, Six
teenth and Race streets.
Mr. Leeds, who Is professor of economics
at Temple University, asserted that the
proper steps to test the legality of the police
action would bo taken without delay.
"Herotoforc," ho said, "the police havo
been In the habit of preventing various
meetings of Socialists and other- organiza
tions which made no protest. In this case
It was to have been a meeting conducted
by prominent nnd Influential residents of
the city, and there appears to havo been
no warrant for such va' step as tho police
took. No reason wa's given by the police
for preventing the meeting. It was simply
stated that the meeting could not take
place.
"We would take the matter up today but
for the fact that hundreds of our members
have gone to Washington to attend the
peace demonstration there."
Seven policemen were stationed at the
doors of the Broad Street Theatre last night,
and when hundreds of peace advocates ar
rived they were Informed that the meeting
was off. Many of them expressed .their In
dignation at such action by the tfbllce and
declared that It was a violation of the Con
stitution. One thousand Intending attendants of the
meeting then walked by twos and threes up
to the Forrest Theatre, where the Rev.
James B. Ely was conducting a meeting of
the Lemon Hill Association. Assembling In
the lobby, they awaited the arrival of Ardo
Hcrlng, who, leading them into the audi
torium, had an usher take a note up to
Doctor Ely. The latter stopped his service
and called Herlng to tho paltform.
ROBINSON'S LETTER
Tho letter from Superintendent Robinson
to Thomas M. Love, manager of the'South
Broad Street Theatre, which was read, said
InVjart:
Referring to the proposed peace meet
ing, I took tho matter up with the Di
rector of the Department of Public
Safety, and ho cannot see his way clear
at this time to permit such a. meeting to
take place.
I therefore desire to notify you that we
will not permit the proposed meeting to
take place, and I have also notified the
lieutenant of the Fifth Police District to
ee that this order Is carried out
Early Saturday morning the management
of the theatre received Superintendent Rob
inson's letter refusing to allow the meeting
to be held. Tho theatre management asked
Weston for a conference with his attorney,
and it was suggested that' counsel for the
theatre and the Emergency Peace Federa
tion agree upon some form of action to
take up the matter with the police au
thorities. As every department In City
Hall was closed at nojm and no courts were
available for a writ compelling the police
to permit the meeting or enjoining them
from Interfering with the gathering, it was
decided there was nothing left to be done
" save abide by the ordr of Superintendent
Robinson.
Last night Director Wilson confirmed this
statement of Director Weston. "I know
nothing of the refusal to permit the peace
' meeting," ho said. -"I suppose Superin
tendent Robinson merely followed police
routine In refusing the application.' Earlier
In tho week several applications were made
for meetings which I recall had some ob-
f. Jectlonable features, and these were re-
xused, ana i suppose ine ouperiinouuuui
followed tho ruling on those applications."
