RIOT AT MEETING IN BEHALF OF IRELAND { When Chairman Refused to Receive a Resolution—200 Policemen Wield Clubs. | New York. May 4—When the chair- man of a mass meeting held tonight in Cooper Union by thirty-two organiza- tions composed of Americans of Irish birth or descent, refused to receive a resolution calling upon President Wil- son and congress to interfere in behalf of Irish independence, a riot broke out which resulted in the ejection of more than thirty persons from the hall and which was not quelled until 200 po- licemen made free use of their clubs. The trouble began at the close of a speech by former United States Sen- ator James F. O'Gorman when Richard F. Dalton, a young Long Island City lawyer, rose and addressed the chair. “I have listened with attention to what has been said by the previous speakers,” Dalton cried, “but I have heard no word said about home ruile.” Then he drew a typewritten paper from his pocket. “You cannot read that” declared Chief Magistrate Willlam McAdoo, the chairman, but the young man was per- sistent and had started to read his resolution when he was seized bodily by two detectives and carried to the nearest exit. of “Free speech, ‘We want home rule” and “Down with England” arose from all parts of the hall. These shouts were drowned out with “clan calls” and the entire audlence rose. Flags of the Irish republic were waved by hundreds of the audience. Women stood up on chairs and cried at the top of their voices: “We will Iflgm for America, but down with Eng- and The disturbers were charged by sev. eral policemen who had been station ed at the hall in preparation for possi- ble trouble. Men and women were ejected but the disorder increased. Chairman McAdoo was unable to make himself heard, although he shatteréd the desk in front of him with blows from a hickory cane. The policemen on duty no eooner checked the rioting in one part of the building that it broke out afresh in some other section of the hall. Not until the reserves had more than doubled their number aid they restore a semblance of order. The meeting was called to demon- strate the loyalty of Irish-Americans to the United States, and the rioting did not begin until after resolutions had been adopted pledging support to the government in prosecuting the war to a successful termination and com- merding universal military service. Coroner Timothy F. #ealy, one of those who arranged the meeting, de- clared the disturbance was the result of an organized effort on the part of German sympathizers to break_up the meeting.
