DID THEY RIOTIN HAINING STREET?
AND WAS' IT HUSHED UP? The. daily papers are sometimes accused of suppressing information. Here is oil example. At an anti-militarist meeting ■in the Socialist Hall, Manners Street, last night, someone got up and said: "I should like to eive this meeting n little infir ■■<- Hon. The gang of ho6ligans ; who broke up the open-air meeting mst niiiiiv, am-r----wards went through the Chinese quarters smashing windows. They did (ho same thing last Sunday might, but not a line about it appeared in the capitalistic press." ' A Dominion reporter, after hearing this statement, went out ,and rang up the Mount Cook police. "Nothing of the sort occurred either to-night or last Sunday," paid Sergeant llutledge. "1 went through Haiiiiug Street myself with the crowd last Sunday night. There was not a pane of glass broken nor any damngo done to property at all. They did not go through Haining Street to-night. There is not a word of truth iu the rumour." From this it will be understood why "information" is sometimes "suppressed."
