ANGRY MOSLEMS.
AFFRAY WITH POLICE AT GAZA. (United Press Association—Copyright). JERUSALEM, April 14. Moslems at Gaza waited as a deputation on the District Officer, seeking permission to hold a demonstration against the recent missionary conference. Permission was refused. Meanwhile a rumour was spread that the deputation had been arrested, and 400 Moslems surrounded the police barracks, where only 20 police were on duty. The officer in charge gave the order to fire, and two of the attackers were slightly wounded. The attack then fizzled out.
This! is the culmination of Moslem irritation, which is alleged to have been needlessly caused by lack of tact among the missionary conference officials.—Australian Press Association and United Service.
