The socialists said not q word as the officers
threw open the door. Detectives Bonfield
and Duffy entered first "Are you August
Spies?" Bonfeld inquired, directing his look
at the anarchist Spies thin lips parted in a
sickly smile, and he displayed two rows of
shining white teeth He hesitared moment
before speaking, and with the artful look of
a malevolent disposition, gave the officers
the full benefit of his tantalizing smile. At
length his lips moved, and in q weak and
husky voice he made answer:
Yes, am August Spies.
Well" replied Bonfield I'VE want you; and
you too" said the officer, turning to Spies
brother and Editor Schwab.
The latter was deathly white, and his
hands trembled as he put on his hat. August
Spies was inclined to be ugly. Duffy asked

Mayor Harrison this afternoon, after con-
sulting his department officers and citizens,
published the following proclamation:
To the People of Chicago:
WheareaS great excitement exists among the
people of this good city, growing out of the labor
troubles, which excitement is intensified by the
open defiance of the guardians of the peace by a
body of lawlese men, who, under the pretense OF
aiding the laboring men, really endeavoring to
destroy all laws; and whereas, last night these
men, by the use Of weapons never resorted to IN
civilized lands except in times of or for rev.
olutionary purposes, caused great bloodshed
among citizens and the officers of the munici-
pality, who were simply IN the performance OF
their duties: and whereas the city authorities
propose to protect life and property at all haz-
ards, and in doing so will be compelled to break
up all unlawful or dangerous gatherings:
and, whereas. even when men propose to meet
for lawful purposes, bad men will attempt to
mingle with them. armed with cOwardly missiles
for the purpose of bringing about bloodshed
thus endangering innocent persons; therefore
I. Carter H. Harrison. mayor of the city Of
Chicago, do hereby proclaim that gatherings OF
people in crowds or PROFESSIONS on the streets
and public places Of the city are dangerous and
cannot be permitted, and orders have been
issued to prevent all such gatherings and to
break up and disperse all crowds. To prevent
injury to innocent persons, I urge all law-abid-
ing people to quietly attend to their own affairs
and not to meet in crowds. II the police order
aEy gatherings to disperse and they be not
obeyed, all persons SO disobeying will be treated
as lawbreakers and will surely incur the penalty
of their disobedience. I further assure the good
people of Chicago that believe that the police
can protect their lives and property and the
good name of Chicago, and will do so.
CARTER H. HARRISON, Mayor.
