DISTURBANCES AT DUNEDIN
ACCUSED MEN BEFORE COURT.
ONE CAUGHT WITH A BLUDGEON.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, April 15. Walter Finlay Dore was charged today with being a rogue and. vagabond in that he was found armed with a bludgeon with felonious intent. The police said that accused while taking part in unemployment processions was seen by detectives to have something protruding under his coat. On being intercepted he was found with a stout wooden stick in his possession. There had been considerable agitation among those inciting the unemployed to resist police action, and evidently that was the reason why Dore carried the stick rather a formidable baton; He did not use the stick, but some unemployed were known to be carrying weapons to resist arrest. Arthur Waters, aged 28, a New Zea- . lander, charged with inciting lawlessness, was remanded in custody till next Wednesday. The police in opposing bail said that accused was a man of riotous conduct, and took part in the unemployed, demonstration on April 11.
