IRISH DEMONSTRATIONS.
NEEDLESS PRECAUTIONS
(Reuter.) LONDON, Oct. 11
When the Irish Conference adjourned till the afternoon, armed Irishmen and women marched in procession to the delegates’ headquarters, waving Sinn Fein flags, and singing Irish hymns and songs, varied with cries of, “Up with Sinn Fein.’’
The Press Association says that a curious feature of the conference was the fact that the Irish delegates arrived attended by gunmen. Each car had an armed guard, the arms being plainly visible in the men’s pockets, as they took their seats beside’the drivers.
