The meeting was generally orderly, with only two incidents being noted by the observers. Upon launching his attack against the movie industry, one person in the audience rose and called Senator WHEELER a liar. It was a minor disturb- ance, and this individual was ejected by the police. A middle- aged woman stalked down the aisle on the main floor of the eudi- torium to inspect the Indian at close range, steting she did not believe he was a real Indian. There was no violence with this incident, and the entire thing was greeted with laughter by the audience. In general, the audience was very attentive and receptive, and the applauded the speaker most loudly when he referred to statements about keeping America out of the present war and keeping American boys at home.
