THE DEAD ANARCHISTS
Memorial Services Held at
Waldheim Cemetery.
A SOMEWHAT TAME AFFAIR.
Mrs. Lucy Parsons Ran Up the
Red Flag and Defed the
City Authorities.

CHICAGO, Nov 1o.-The anarchist
memorial celebration to-day was very
tame. The only noteworthy incident
was furnished by AIRS. Lucy Parsons,
who, IN defiance of prohibition of red
flags, hung one from the window of her
residence. A policeman was sent to
notify her to take IL down.
"This is free country" said Mrs.
Parsons why can't have the flag OF
my .doctrineH'
Because my orders are to pull it
down. said the policeman, and without
iurther parey he tore down the flag and
took 1t TO the station.
The day at Waldheim cometary was
drcary and cold. From crowd of 5000
last year the attendance to.dpy had
diminished down to less than 2OOO, and
OF this number not few were merely
curious spectators. Floral decorations
were profuse and beautiful, but the only
inscription which had anything of the
old-time style was one reading "Mur-
dered. but still alive" During the exer-
cises Mrs. Spies, Mrs. Schwab and Mrs
while Mrs. Parsons, sitting on the damp
ground BY her husbands grave with her
httle boy by her side, abandoned her.
self to tears.
After musical selections G. j. Clemens
OF Topeka, Kan, stepped forward and
announced himself an American anar.
chist, and although he understood his
life was In danger in Chicago he had de-
termincd to have his say. Clemens then
abused the laws and authorities.
Paul Grottkau spoke in u much milder
vein than last year. His address was
principally devoted to "Crimos of the
Aristocracy." "0nly through blood, ~
said he, ''can white slavery be abolished
Meantime we are at peace. We are at
war with existing conditions, but of
course we can't win battle every day,
but energy of forces will gather and the
inevitable conflict in which We hope to
be successful will come"
Two other brief speeches were made.
No disturbances occurred throughout
the day. Indeed the lack of enthusiasm
which generally characteriaes anarchist
gatherings was the chief feature.
