and every point OF gathering in the city the
| events of last night are being seriously dis.
| cussed. A large and conservative element
In the population, 1t is proper say. has
'erlously contemplated that an outbreak OF
such serious proportions and atrocious
character could be meditated by any class
In the community. The words heard on
every side this morning are Of utter
| and abhorrent condemnation OF the
| assault made on the police. The
occurrences Of ssionday and last night
are ascribed In the public mind to the
teachings and recent utterances principally
Of three men, August Spier, A. r. Parsons
and Samuel Fielding, the speakers OF last
night. They have been pointed out by
nearly every paper In the city during the
past four days, and the tragic elimination
on Desplaines street has only appeared to
emphasize these warnings. Their arrest
has been repeatedly demanded. When the
firing began last night, Parsons was the
only man who was seen to be recognized.
He was In liquor store at the corner OF
Desplaines and Lake streets, the
Socialistjc headquarters, within $50 feet
OF the point where the deadly bomb
was thrown among the ranks OF the police.
The firing at the police came from the same
quarter and II is surmised that the criminals
obtained their guns and made the Social
lists hall their headquarters and from
sault. They were concealed behind boxes
and barrels on the side walk, leveling their |
guns and firing during the confusion which |
followed the explosion Of the bomb. Par |
sons was seen In the place accompanied by |
his negro wife for only moment and then |
disappeared with the other anarchists.
The police searched for the men all night |
but did not succeed in finding them until
little after O'Clock this morning, all three
being found In close room in the Office OF |
the Arbetter Zeitung,a newspaper at No. 107
Fifth avenue. They were in consultation
when the officers came upon them. They
exhibited alarm but made no resistance.
They were taken quietly to tho central
police station, one block away. and up to 0
O'Clock thepublic had not been made aware
of their arrest. They are kept closely
guarded, and no one is permitted TO see
them. II is not known what, II any charges
have been made against them, and
what is the exact policy the city
authorities intend to pursue. They have
but inflammatory utterances in his news
paper, In which be has within the past few
days urged dynamite warfare against the
police and all the regularly constituted |
authorities. His direct connection aud that | {
,t his companions in the events OF tao past Q
,wo days appears very clear. Mayor Harri- I
son reasserts his ability to preserve absolute j
peace In Chicago, without outside aid. He
lrgues that the occurrence of last night
,ould not have been foreseen and was un-
,aralleled even In American history. The
'ntire police force Is on duty to-day and its I
members are apparently in flrst-class con-
lition. While their duties have been ,
rduous, the fact that the department is
quipped with numerous patrol wagons has
