CHICAGO. Nov. 13.-The seventeen
alleged anarchists arrested at last
nights meeting were arraigned in JUS
tice WOOdman'S court this morning.
Jesse Cox represented the defendants
and Assistant City Prosecutor Hines re-
presented the prosecution. Mr.. CoXmoved
10 discharge the men, as there was no
written complaint. We Will have a
complaint, never fear vas Hines re-
tOIt. and complaints we made out, some
for resisting an officer in the discharge
Of his duty and others for carrying con-
cealed weapons and disorderly conduct.
The officers told the story of the affair
and gave the language used.
Lawyer Cox began The examination
Of the seventeen defendants, and COM
pleted that of four of them. Each Will
be examined singly, and the case gives
evidence OF being long one. The de-
Tense attempted to prove by its wit
nesses that the meeting raided by the
officers was a peaceable one and had
10 connection with any anaTchistic
movement whatever, being merely a
regular meeting OF. the SOciallstic Pub
fishing society.
This evening bill was filed in the
circuit court, by Thomas Grief, TO re-
strain Mayor Washburne. Superintend-
ent Of Police McClaughrry. Inspector
Lewis and Capt. MahOney from enter
ing upon the premises owned by com
plalnant, or from interfering with any
meetings or assemblies held in the hall
The case will probably come up before
Judge Iuley tomorrow morning.
The Mayors Opinion.
Both Mayor Washburne and Chief
NcClaughrev to-day, in speaking of the
arrest of anarchists at GrIef's hall, adj
Vanced the belief tPat the object of the
meeting and the organized plot Of the
anarchists was not to commit any acts
of violence, not to throw bombs, but 10
keep up an ararchistic agitation to con-
vince foreigners that Chicago will not
be safe place to come to in the worlds
fair year, either TO exhibit goods or to
see them.
The action of Inspector Lewis in
breaking up the meeting has my entire
approval said the mayor. The in
cendiary utterances Of the anarchists
must be stopped, for they are liable to
Go Chicago incaiculabie injury. an in
jury far greater than they could do by
overt violence They might blow up
building or two. but they could not get
control of the city, and aside from any
loss Of life there might be, the loss
would not probably be over say hun
dred thousand dollars. But the effect of
this agitation. if allowed TO continue.
and believe that is its object. would
be 10 give ChicagOa bad reputation. to
keep millions Of capital away and work
jrreparable harm To the worlds fair by
frightening foreigners into believing
Chicago an unsafe place to which to
send their goods or to come to them
selves"
"What will your policy be?'
Ito suppress with firm hand all
meetings held to advocate anaTchistic
principles
"Will you revoke Grief's licenses for
recommend lt?''
Il will revoke any license that the
police recommend"
Seeking Revenge.
Maj. McClaughaey expressed the same
view OF the purpose of the present agi-
tauOn: The anarchists want revenge
on Chicago for the execution OF their
brothers. and they intend to get it if
possible by giving it the reputation Of
an unsafe place for investments or for
visitors TO exhibit in the worlds fair.''
What reason have you for this be-
lief?''
we are justified in drawing the con-
cluslOn from the remarks Of the speak
ers at the meeting. They all cry for re-
Yenge on Chicago
Moses Solomon, who applied to the
circuit court for an injunction to re-
strain the police from interfering with
meetings at GTief's hall, called on the
chief with his client, and with Assistant
Corporation Counsel Chetlain, to
inform him of the agreement that
had been entered into by him
self and Mr.. Chetlain that the
police should interfere with no
peaceable meetings there until the
courts should hear the application. Mr.
Solomon objected TO the word "peace-
able" claiming there were no other
kind of meeting, but Mr.. Chetlain
would not agree TO the stipulation with
out 1t. As the stipulation did not re-
strict the right OF the police to decide
wha' Is and what is not peaceful
meeting, the chief agreed to it.
Public Sentiment Divided.
There is great division of public SEN
timent here as to whether the police
were justified in suppTessing last nights
anarchist meeting and ordering the
American flag to be unfurled at the
previous night. Judge Tuley'S famous
decision was that, except i'm cases of
rot, warrants should be obtained and
direct charges made before the police
were JUSTIFIED iii making arrests. OF
course this was not done last evening and
ii is not even charged that any of the
speakers melted TO riot or did any
thing more than give utterance to the
Oft-repeated anarchistic eXtravaganZas.
EX Mayor Harrison. III an editorial in
the Times this morning, denounces the
raid and says: The law guarantees TO
American citizens the right of free
speech. Any violation of this. sacred
Tlght, except on extraordinary occa-
sions, brings sympathy to men who
otherwise would meet with contempt
The people wish order maintained and
the law preserved, but they are not
willing to see violated the very charter
of our rights to enable ambitious blue
coats to show their proves.
The Herald, referring TO Inspector
Hubbard's order compelling the anarch-
lists to hoist the American flag, saws
The duty to be performed was to ar
rest any speaker who promulgated trea-
son against the commonwealth of Hi
nOis: TO have competent and truthful
witnesses TO testify to his illegal words

over TO the courts. This is the mandate
OF the constitution of Illinois; this is the
meaning of the statute covering viola
zion of its provision for liberty of
