LARRIKINS BREAK UP DANCE WITH A FUSILLADE
-By Telogcaph — Copyright)
Melbourne, Sept. 19. While a dance was being held in tho Friends of Soviet Hall, a fusillade of rifle bullets was fired. The bullets riddled the windows and walls of the building. No one was hurt. The attack is believed to have been made by a mob of larrikins as a reprisal for the ejection of five of their number from the dance earlier in the night. Twenty young men, armed with rifles and pickets, were seen on the other side of the street, stones and pickets were hurled through the windows. The dancers prevented a rush on the building by bolting the doors. Three large plate-glass windows in a shop below were pierced by bullets.
