ORDERED TO MOVE.
Christchurch, September 3
Mr Palmer, Mrs Harrison Lee, and Mr McCombs, local No-liceuse workers, came into conflict with the police yesterday afternoon in Cathedral Square. A sergeant of police and a constable ordered Mr Palmer to move from in front of the United Service Hotel, where he was delivering an address Irom a buggy, to a spot put of the way of traffic. The horse and trap were moved along a little further, but just as Mrs Harrison Lee rose to. speak the representatives of the law reappeared, and again ordered the speakers to move away. Mr J. McCombs hotly defended the speakers and objected to being ordered to move from a spot at which religious and other political speakers could lecture unmolested. Mr Palmer rose, after a brief discussion with the police, and said that the objection had not come from the United Service Hotel, the proprietor of which had invited him to speak from the balcony. The police officers, after finally asking the speakers to move, took the names of several of them.
