Consovitch, who says he is a KRussian and worked for a time in a munition factory at his home in Brantford, was one of the speakers at the public meet ing called in the Finn Hall yast week under the auspices of the **Finmsh and Russian Workers‘ Party." â€" At this meeting he is alleged to have made disloyal suggestions wlhnule speakâ€" ing in Russian, and members of the police iforee say that his remarks in English were undoubtedly seditious, as he advocated the dethronement of the ‘*King of England,"‘ classing the head of the constitution also as a ** bloodâ€" sucker.‘‘ _HMe was arrested Tharsday imurnin;.r when about hboard _ the ttrain.

Magistrate Atkinson arrived from South Poreupine, and after earefully considering the legal standing of the case, said that bail in the amount of $2,000 cash could be accepted, but that he would not consider bail so long as the mob stayed at the door. _ Bail would be given as in the usual way, if two or three representatives arranged it, and the erowd dispersed from its unlawful assembly. _ Time and again the Mayor went out and boldly fa¢ed the angry, sullen crowd, urging them to go home, bw they seemed obsessed with the one‘s -9.7;f‘tgj‘,;;et their Oraâ€" tor.‘‘ Event, se Magistrate again announced:> his., «ysion that no bail would be.{«=ken,muutil the crowd had gone away, and some of the more level headed of the mob were at last indueâ€" ed to start the crowd away.

Within two hours of the request the order was made and no liquor has eome to the Camp in the meantime, nor wil any bereleased until all possihility of rowdyism on any side is removed. The authorities ask The Advance to assure the public generally that the situation is adequately â€" handled, and for all to go quietly about their affairs.
