A LA NUDE.
MIXED PARADE.
Itching Powder Disperses Demonstrators.
MEMBERS OF RUSSIAN" SECT. (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 1 p.m.) VANCOUVER, May 2. The spectacle of 117 men and women parading in the nude until subdued by the Nelson provincial police with a hose spraying itching powder was met with a demand by the British Columbian AttorneyGeneral, Mr. R. H. Pooley, that the Dominion legislation providing for three years' imprisonment for nudists, all of whom are in gaol, should be enforced.
The paraders were members of a Russian sect, who settled in British Columbia 10 years ago.
