cQllOrS OF the All e Ter LclIUDg. Ger-
man daily. the successor of Spies and
Parsons rabid sheet. and which. like
its predecessor, publishes large
amount OF incendiary matter, and
has pronounced anarchistic principles.
This man was making speech
in the secret meeting when
the officers entered. When he was
locked up in the Desplaines street sta
ton he made a plea for his release,
claiming that he was IN the meeting in
the capacity of reporter. His plea
wholly failed of its purpose.
Among the other prisoners were the
following, each of whom carried re-
vOlvers and attempted to resist the Of
ficers: John Drissel. Ernest Rapport,
Henry Miller. David Sutter, Charles
Langren, Henry Dneiper and Andrew
Weiss. These men are all known to the
police. and several of them were prOmi-
nent in the ranks of the anarchists five
and six years ago when the red flag was
SO often seen OH the streets of Chicago.
Inspector Lewis announced while the
prisoners were being booked that to-
morrow he would demand the revoca-
ton of Grief'S license as a beginning Of
an active stamping out Of the reds. He
added that while ne was in command in
the division no meetings would be held
with the intention Of melting
Revolution or Anarchy.
Grief said tie inspector, twas. l
consider, responsible to large degree
for the uprising of May i, 1885, and i in
tend to make him an example. Tonight
he told me that there was nc meeting
being held i'll his building besides one
called by the painters, and when l de-
manded that my men be allowed to
search he point blank refused. Then |
had to use force, and the result shows
the nature of the people he has around
him."
Officer Lehn, one of these in citizens
clothes, who was in the crowd before
the raid was made, reported that oAe of
the speakers said that the anarchists
were now stronger than ever before.
and that they were prepared to give
the police a big dose OF the medicine
administered in May, 1886. Officer Wess =
ler another of the detectives who was
i'll another group listened to a harangue
from long haired orator who declared
that the police had no right TO interfere
with any meeting, and that the time will
soon come when the police force VIII be
completely annihilated. This man was
particularly blOodthirsty and declared
that he intended to devote his life to the
cause of anarchy and was willing to
die for the good of the cause. He was
among those arrested. but refused TO
give his name at the station. Officer
Wilbasky had spent the day among the
lOudest of the anarchists. He was
treated to a particularly interesting
speech, having been allowed to enter a
sort of caucus attended only by those
supposed TO be willing to
Lay Dawn Their Lives
just as did Spies and his comrades. He
was told that every policeman ought t.
be hung, but as that was impossible the
reds would have to satisfy themselves
with assassination. He then listened
to blood curdling utterances of how the
city authorities should be destroyed.
One enthusiastic red made 4 virulent
attack against Mayor Washburne,
the capitalistic press and their support
ers, the police and the militia. He de-
clared that the time was not far distant
when dynamite would be used to de-
strOy the capitalists. and that then the
only law would be the rights of
the individual. Further names

released before l a. M. Thomas Grief
going on a majority of their bonds
The amount of the bond in each case
was 5000. AS Grief left the station he
fairly Kissed his promise to wreak ter
rible vengeance upon those VINO had
caused him so much trouble. Officer
p. ii. Sullivan, who was the man
that before the raid gained admit
lance to the secret meeting, told
Inspector Lewis that one of the speak
erS declared that the saloon below was
full of Pinkerton men and police. anO
that only for them an open meeting
could be held. lie then proposed a re
