FLUENCED CZOLGOSZ-HER METH
DDS AND HABITS.

to kill President Mckinley and are watching
anxiously for the bulletins which tell of his
brave fight for life. there is one woman who Is
generally credited with different feelings. This
is Emma Goldman, anarchist product of the
East Side slums. who. according to the confess
sion of Czolgosz, by fiery speeches persuaded
him to become assassin. She is reported TO
have said repeate lily that 1t would be the proud
est moment of her life when she could persuade
some to kill a ruler
Just where the Goldman woman is now is
question which the police of four cities are
trying to solve She was driven out of New
York five months ago by the police. They
stopped her riotous meetings and told her to
leave the city be arrested She went from
here to Toledo. then to Detroit. and next to
Cleveland. The last time the police of this city
heard OF her she holding meetings in To-
ledo 1t was there that Czolgosz says he heard
Der speak. and was persuaded that the Ameri-
can form of government was wrong and that 1t
was his duty TO remove its head.
The saloon of Justus II. Schwab. at No. 30
First-st. has been the headquarters of Emma
Goldman and her particular followers in this
city. number of autonomists, members of
the most radical anarchist groups are called,
were drinking there yesterday afternoon. A
matronly German woman served them with
many big mugs of beer
LETTERS AWAITING HER.
Can you ten where Emma Goldman is
living now" she asked.
You're reporter amt you?" she snapped.
If knew wouldn't tell you. but 1 don't know.
You are all trying to get that poor girl into
trouble But you won't succeed. She went TO
Jail once. owing to the lying police. but she has
not done anything but talk since then. You
can't arrest her for talking"
Have you no idea where she is?" the re-
porter persisted
she went West some time ago" said the
woman. and has been giving lectures there.
have a number Of letters which have been sent
here for her but don't know where to send
them"
AS proof of her statement she pointed to the
mirror back of the little bar. in which num-
ber of letters addressed to the Goldman woman
were sticking. The anarchists talked guardedly.
Emma Goldman had nothing TO do with
this" said OF them TO a Tribune reporter.
she believes in killing rulers, shedding blood
and using dynamite, but she wants some
else 10 do It, she is fa1 too clever to be mixed
up in any plot They will never be able to
connect her with this Czolgosz or whatever his
name is. He is not known TO any Of We
never even heard Of him. l don't believe that
he was member OF any anarchist circle;
sassns seldom belong to regular societies lie
undertook the job his own responsibility"
There several other "hanrouts" for an
archists near the Schwab saloon They were
well filled with reds who were drinking heav-
ily and talking about the attempt 10 kill the
President. They expressed no sorrow. hut AT
the same time they showed no evidence of
pleasure. No one could be found who would ad-
NIT having ever heard OF CzoEosz before.
MOST SAYS SHE'S HAPPY
Most, the white haired arch anarchist who
has done much In he p{r{t ,F
against existing conditions throughout the East
Side, was found in a sa aloon at No. 80 Gold-st.
He was drinking gin and telling German jokes
TO an interested crowd
Emma Goldman will be happy over this" he
said with a hearty laugh "A man attempts TO
XIII the President Of the United States and says
! that she persuaded him TO do IT, That is just
what she has been wanting. She has made
hundreds Of bloody speeches with that Idea in
view This fool Czolgosz is the first 10
make her prominent in this way"
The old anarchist took another drink Of gin a
big drink, and stroked his snow white beard
thOuEhtfully
But don't believe Emma Goldman had any
thing to do with this business She is no good
as speaker. and she does not know enough TO
write anything Speeches don't make men
think, but what they read and can study over
This man had probably been reading in the
yellow journals ahou. the trusts and how they
were treadinE the workingmen. He had
probably hcen looking at their cartoons day
after cay. They enough to maka an assas-
sin out OF any man who has the interest OF the
wOrkingmen heart
DO you know. an out and out anarchist paper
would not dare print the articles which
cut almost every day in yellow journals? II
| they printed matter that was half so radical
get into trouble"
Perhaps" continued the old anarchist. after
further thought. he listened to Mr.. Bryan dur
Ing the last campaign. Many of Bryan's
speeches would start on a line of thought
that would end in assassination. If he had
been real anarchist he would never have killed
Mckinley. AS it is. the whole thing is hardly
worth making a big sensation about for /
guess the President will get well after all"
You used to know Emma Goldman rather
Intimately. did you not?" asked the reporter
woman. She's crazy. She's no good. 1 have
not spoken TO her for nearly years. We
could not get along together
HER SHADY CAREER
Emma Goldman came 10 this country seven
teen years ago from a little town in Russia.
where her father was tailor. She went to
Rochester y. Y. and married to man
named Gruenebaum. 1t was not long before
she met Louis Bernstein an anarchist. who
brought her to this city. She dropped her hus
bands name. and with IT the few ideas of right
and wrong that she had. She became an advo-
cate Of anarchy in its most bloody and des-
perate forms.
She Joined the anarchist group, known the
Pioneers of Liberty, which used to meet In the
Essex Market She expelled after fiery
speech advocating the free and unlimited use OF
I dynamite because the members feared she
would get them into trouble. Soon after she
met Most. and Joined the international Arbeiter
Association, of which he was the leader. Most
let her sign articles which appeared from time
to time in his weekly publication, Die trel-
heit" A personal quarrel with Most caused
