In the first place there were no spec

most ardent defender of the patrolman.
He denied that there was anything like
fight or that the patrolman was
drunk. A trivial dispute over a game
of pinocle he said was the cause of the
trouble.
The patrOlman admitted he went into
the saloon and had a game of cards and
a glass of beer. and he didn't feel that
he was violating any propriety or rule

LOUISE MICHEL SURE TO COME.
Noted French Leader Tells Why She
Became am Ana fchist.


New York, Dec S.=Louise Michel Is
coming to America at last. She is 66
years old and feeble. If she had been
equal to the journey she would have
been here years ago.
Whether her mother, CarlOtta, will
accompany her. as was arranged for a
year ago, Is not known. She hopes to
carry OFF $50 from each of her lectures,
travelling expenses being found. What
Is left of her earnings she wants to turn
into a home in England for revolution
lists who have been expelled from other
countries.
Louise is ungainly. tall, raw-boned,
high of cheek-bone and big of chin.
They say she is eccentric. Her tenn
perament Is nervous and excitable.
Somebody asked Louise one day why
she was an anarchist. She said as to
what made her so: The sufferings of
dumb animals. l saw horses beaten
and overworked. starved and ill-treat-
ed, and the awful injustice of their
sufferings led me to think Then when
l saw that the same injustice was in
inflicted upon men and women became
an anarchist"
