WERE WINDOWS BROKEN?

SOCIALISTS' PERMITS TO CEASR, ' In reference io the disturbances following oil tho Socialists' meeting, on (ho two iast Sunday nights, Mr. C. 11. Snow, grocer, corner of Jess® nnd Tory 'Streets, railed at The Dominion office last night and slated that it was not correct to •say that there had p )lot been any windows broken. There had, lie went on, been half a dozen windows smashed on'tho first Sunday night (August 0) and ho knew of six which were .smashed last Sunday night. His window, he declares, was broken by a person who was seen to throw a stone at it, and a window two doors away from his place, also, was broken. Another statement made by Mr. Snow was that', on the first Sunday night, a stone was thrown through a "window and broke the linger of a man who was in tho building. Mr. Snow said that his window was of plate-glass (6ft. by Bft.) and will cost between JCG and .£B'to replace. These statements were submitted to tho police later in tho night, and they remarked that they knew nothing of any windows being broken except one in Ilaining Street, and they thought that if a dozen windows had boon smashed they .would have known about, it by then, No statement was made by the police as to whether or not they intend to proceed against any of the persons concerned in last Sunday's disturbance. However. they are going to stop the. penults to the Socialists to hold street meetings, and, if the anti-militarists wish to speak in future they must do so at their hall. Tho police consider that for tho Socialists to persist in these meetings is inviting trouble of a kind -which is a | menace to property.
