ROWDY STUDENTS
SPOIL MEETING, (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, December 9. An orderly meeting of the Central Hall at Westminster, held a protest against the practice of making poisonous experiments on animals, developed into an astounding variety entertainment, in which such novelties as stink bombs .and live eels were employed as missies.
The disturbers were University students. They permitted Rt. Hon. Mr Kenworthy, the member of the House of Commons, to have a hearing, but during Doctor W. R. Hadwen’s speech they rose to attack him. Then that gentleman, who objected to their smoking, struck the students’ cigarettes from their mouths with a folded newspaper.
The police arrived at the height of a melee, and they ejected the rowdiest, combatants. The others then tracked out, singing “Auld Lang Syne.”
Doctor Hadwen was the central figure'of a pandemonium to which students reduced an anti-vivisection meeting on June 20th in 1929.
