NEW YORK. July 2S-John Most's Or

tire frst page to an editorial on tho at
"a written in John Most's usual bonibas-
tic style. The following arc few choice
extracts FROM tho article:
Down With Fricki We demand that
Frick be charged with murder, brought
to trial and be executed. He iY the mean

Frethict would not have appeared until
six weeks after date. The deluRe Of re-
poyters drove Us from our own office"
The editorial contains not q word
against Bergman, whom Most, in several
published interviews, has denounced as
confounded fool " and scamp"
/. A significant coincidence in connection
with BerRman's attack upon Henry G.
Frick Is the fact that Der Anarchist, the
weekly organ of the so-called autono-
mists in this city, published in its issue
the "genosssn" (compatriots) to gather
for ap inportant meeting on the follow
ing day. 1t was on July 2S that Mr.. Frick
was shot.
"A copy OF Der Anarchist dated July %,
was shown to Carl Masur. the leader OF
this section Of the Anarchists, and he was
"On Friday, Of course" he answered,
abruptly. with . suspicious leer In his
eyes.
aWas the editor at the time of going to
press coRnizant Ut the fact that Mr.. Frick
would be shot on Saturday."
Masur looked puzzled.
"Of course not p' he growled after a
minutes reflection.

cumstance that In that issue of the paper

"Who is the editor of Der Andrchfst?"
Nobody in particular. Every sutono'
mist who can write may assume the edi-
tor:hip."
"Were you present at Sunday morn

Mssur thought for half minute and
then Rrowled out an unwilling Yes"
"Was the contamination and success of
Bergman's plot discussed theref"
THAT is an unfair question" said
Masur. "I cannot give you any informa-
tion regarding our party meetings"

Ibid Bergman advise his friends of his
intentions with regard to Mr.. FricS 2"
He might have limited to some Of the
autonomists what he was going to do
that would be but natural but ! do not
think that he solicited anybody's aid.
Bergman Is a decided character, who
would not willingly divide honors with
any body. Besides, 10 was dangerous
thing TO talk about such an undertaking
dangerous even among Anarchists."
Dies your organization control a
propaganda fund.-"
"Fund y, cried Mssur; "where should

of us. We have hardly enough to keep

assassination Not much We couldn't
afford to do 1t II We wanted TO. Such a
deed, sir, must be the outcome of per-
sonai enthusiasm and individual couragel
None OF my autonomist friends are

''How could We ever think Of collecting
enough money TO buy an assassin. IL Is
preposterous."
