UNREST IN INDIA.
ACTIVITIES OF GANDHI.
IGNORED BY AUTHORITIES.
(Received April 9, 8.35 p.m.) DELHI, April 8,
Thousands of villagers who journeyed to Aat, in the Bombay Presidency, expecting to see Gandhi arrested were disappointed. Tho authorities completely ignored tho Nationalist Leader.
In a speech Gandhi exhorted his hearers to abandon their attitude of non-violence and to resist to tho utmost tho confiscation of any of the sftiall quantity of salt ho and his followers distributed. He urged women especially to defy the authorities to touch them—an action which would constitute a deadly insult in the eyes of the natives. Demonstrators have been arrested at several places and sentenced to terms of imprisonment. A fracas between some of Gandhi's volunteers and tho polico at Delhi resulted in slight injuries to seven of the former, who were carried through the streets as evidence of the Government's " repression methods."
