FIAE-A Quiet Meeting In Union Square.
No Disorder.
New YORK, August 2l.-At q meet
ing OF Anarchists on the East Side this
afternoon, the notorious Emma Gold
man sought TO sound the key note for
the Union Square mass meeting o! this
evening.
THE black flag" she said, "the sym
Dol Of destitution and hunger has once
more been trodden under foot. The
mayor OF Newark, at a meeting to-day,
tore IL down. say the mayor
Of Newark is beast and
his time Of retribution is near.
II you take bread you will not gain any
thing. II will profit you little. You
must take more. You must take all.
Do not fear the clubs Of the police, and
! say TO you that u you 60 TO the meet
ing in Union Square tonight with
nothing In your hands, merely to listen
TO the talk. talk, talk Of so called lead
ers. you will accomplish nothing.
"You must go armed. Let the clubs
and stones and other weapons be op-
posed to the clubs and revolvers OF the
police, for unless this is done ana until
this is done, your cause will not pro-
gress one iota."
The attendance at Union Square was
fully 5000 tonight, the meeting being
much larger than that Of Saturday
night. There was no disorder, how
ever, at any time, and the speakers
were permitted to shout TO their hearts
content.
Emma Goldman, the Anarchist queen,
screamed words of threatful warning.
She was preceded and follower by 9TH
ers, who spoke in English, German and
Hebrew. The tenor OF the speeches was
that the people were hungry and
wanted work. II they did not
get bread by working for it, they would
be compelled to get it by other means
The crowd cheered these sentiments
and at the close of the meeting went
away without any attempt at disorder
Captain Dewey and forty policemen
headed the procession. At the start OF
the march Captain Dewey took black
flag from the hands of a man In the
ranks. This was the only scene worthy
of mention. The speech making began
about half past seven and in less than
two hours 1t was all over. A squad OF
policemen enclrced the crowd and kept
everybody In place. Several women
were in the audience.
1t was stated here tonight that In
spector Mclaughlin, who had been at
the meeting ordered the arrest OF Emma
Goldman. At the time the woman was
surrounded by large number OF her
followers, and the detective thought 1t
better not to make the arrest then. She
got on Fourteenth street car, followed
by the detective, but whether or not
the arrest was made was not known at
l o'clock.

NEW YORK, August 21.-To-day was

Pension Commissioner LOchren Makes
a Statement
THE GROSS FRAUDS PRACTICED
Bv Him Has Put all Claims AL
1owedUpon Evidence Furnished
bv Him to Fall Under Suspicion.
An Investigation is Now Being
Prosecuted With all Possible
Diligence-Four Special Exam
iners at Work.

WASHINGTON, D. D., August21.-Ihe
following statement was to-day given
out for publication by Pension Com-
missioner Lochren.
SO much mIsapprehension concerning
the attitude OF the Pension bureau 10
wards the old soldiers is current tha'
il seems proper to make puollc state-
ment concerning matters growing Ou'
of the recent and now pending van
Leuven Investigations.
Mr.. VaDIleuven has for many years
done a large pension business, having
his Office at Lime Springs, Iowa. HIS
CLIENTELE has been by no means connheu
to his immediate locality, but has oeeh
drawn from all over the states OF 1'"a
and Minnesota and even from more re-
mote parts of the country. In June
last, as a result of a preliminary lnVes-
tipatiop into his methods, he was sus-
pended by the secretary OF the
interior from practice before tne
department. While 1t Woulu
not be judicious to enter into detail al
this time as to the facts brought 10
light in the preliminary investigahon'
| will say that it was clearly SHOWN
that for years he has supported the
claims which he has prosecuted Dy
highly developed and successful system
of dishonest practices. AT the time OF
his suspension evidence was oelore the
bureau showing beyond question In
stances OF purchase Of testimony fraud
ulent preparation Of affidavits, orioing
of sworn officials Of the government
and wholesale deception Of applicants
for pensions, by means OF which they
were induced TO show their gratitude
by the payment Of fees and gratultles
beyond the amounts allowed by law.
1t was apparent that all claims al
lowed upon exparte evidence furnished
by Van Leuven must be investigated.
In the few cases inquired into at the
time of the preliminary investigation,
evidences OF fraud were so plain and so
numerous that every claim hled ana
prosecuted by him became inevitably an
object of suspicion. Accordingly all
his cases which could be at once ldent-
fed in the files Of the bureau were
drawn and examined and nearly 500 OF
these have been sent to special examin-
er Waite at Minneapolis for investlga-
tion.
Special Examiner Waite has been for
several weeks engaged exclusive upon
these casesA In some instances 1t has
been found acttCable to rescind the
order of SUSPENSION in advance OF thor
ough investigation. In such cases there
has been but brief withholding OF the
pension. But in most of the cases the
evidence upon which the original action
of the bureau was based is now known
to be so worthless that it would be
breach OF official trust to continue pay
ments before the facts have been thor
oughly sitted.
Four special examiners, experienced
employees Of the bureu, are now engaged
upon the Van Leuven cases in Iowa and
Minnesota, and the work will be carried
forward with the greatest possible dill
gence and dispatch.
