BLOODSHED PROBABLE.
AT ANTI-MILTTARIST GATHERINGS.
By Telegraph—Press Association, fbristcharch, Last Night. A disturbance occurred on Saturday night at one of the open-air meetings addressed by anti-militarists at the Clock Tower, and it is alleged that a portion of the crowd set upon Sergeant Stewart when he went to the assistance of two ladies who were screaming. It is also alleged that the police drew their batons, but the police report of the feuds makes no mention of this, and if the batons were drawn it is assumed that they were drawn for the purpose of display. Superintendent Kiely states that at these meetings the police are subjected to considerable abuse. He adds: "If things are allowed to continue as they arc, T shall be surprised if these gatherings do not terminate in bloodshed." Prosecutions of some of Saturday night's offenders are to follow.
