ASSOCIATED Press Dispatches to the HERALD. |
CHICAGO, November 13.-The Times
says: The Anarchists are not dead, or
even sleeping. On the contrary, they
are more thoroughly organized than even
At the Haymarket riot and their MEM
bership is larger than it has ever been.
The demonstration last Sunday at Wald-
helm was not the gathering of few
sympathizers or friends of the dead An.
archists. 1t was an organized outpour-
ing Of internationals who had thus
arranged to come out and concentrate at
any point agreed upon.
Inspector Bon6eld. who is known to
have kept detectives watching every
movement OF the Anarchists the last few
weeks, when asked if there we're many
Anarchists at the celebration, replied !;
"Yes, there were. Most Of them were
Anarchists"
''Then you think they are still organ
lzed and have large membership
II have had men out looking up their
meetings and we know where they are
and have the name and address of the
leaders and the most radical Anarchists,
30 we can reach them in case of trouble.
They meet in smaller numbers than be-
fore, but there are more of them and they
conduct their meetings differently. There
is not SO much preparation at the meet
iDgs for fighting and drilling with arms
and explosives, but what is far more
dangerous, they are thoroughly organized
just within the pale of law, and all we can
do is to keep our eyes on them. The worst
thing about it is, they have several schools
here for teaching anarchy which they
call Anarchy Sunday schools" In
these they teach children to hate law
and the officers of law, and teach them
the worst principles of anarchy. Why,
the wife of a trusted employee of the
County Board is an organizer of and q
teacher in one of those schools, and
there are no less than five thousand able
bodied Anarchists in Chicago to-day,
ready and organized, waiting for the ap-
pointed time. Trouble must come
sooner or later. They have set day for
it at headquarters, but in the mean
time they will evail themselves
OF every opportunity to carry
out their object of destruction to all or
ganized law and order institutions. They
sent out circulars before the election,
asking the legislative candidates for an
expression of their opinion on the State
conspiracy law enacted at the last session
of the Legislature. Many candidates re-
piled that they were in favor OF o modi-
fication of that law, and some of these
candidates we're elected too. So you see
they are becoming wiser and consequent
ly more dangerous, because the most
radical of them are afraid to experiment
together with explosives as long as the
law is as it is."
"You say they have day set for an
uprising, and you mentioned headquar-
ters. Have you any information of this
phase OF the internationals ?"
"Yes, much more than can give you,
but you may say we have evidence of
their organization, officers, plans, COM
mittees, etc. The central point is in
London, with Paris as next, then
Brussels, New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago and San Francisco. All the
principal countries have Vice Presi-
dents, the United States having two,
Chicago one and New York the other.
SIN strength of their numbers they
rank: France first, Germany second,
British Isles third, etc., with the United
States and Mexico last In America the
central headquarters is in New York.
So far they have agreed on the one hun
dredth anniversary of the fall of the
Bastile as the day for a concerted up
rising. 1 do not think the people can
take it any too much in earnest. They
may have changed it, but they will GER
tainly make an effort. 1t must come
that is inevitable"
