LONDON, Auk. 21. Serious differences in the R.S.P.C.A. apparent for some time, chiefly varying vi vi sectionist views, came to a climax at an upioarious meeting today. Men and women of prominent
names shouted until there was a pandemonium. When the women could not make their voices heard they just screamed. A man stood on a, chair and shook'his fist at Lord Banbury, who attempted to take the chair. ,
Stephen Coleridge moved that Wallace Grain replace Banbury. The latter ignored shouts to vacate, and attempted to read a document, amid a tumult of shouts of “sit clown, get out.”
Grain attempted to speak to Banbury, who turned sharply and said: “I do not. know who the hell you are; get out instead.” ' Cries of “Shame,” “get out of the clmir we will not have you.”
Lady Cory holding a .veiling toy doo sahl she waiited to move a vote of "censure on Banlmry for degrading the Society. Sir James Douglas declared tne whole trouble in the Society was due to Banbury. * . Amid a renewed uproar Ban bin > suddenly gathered up his papers and departed together with the members of the Council.
