BRAZEN WORDS OF "REDS." :"
COMING OFT or THEIR HIDING PLACES
PLANNING FOR A FUND FOR
CZOLGOSZ.

The anarchists In this city had begun TO re-
cover a little yesterday from their first fright
after the shooting of the President. They had
not beer sorry at any time that the crime had
been committed. but they had hesitated to give
voice to their thoughts, and some of the more
tinlid had even suggested resolution of sympa-
thy for the President. Many Of the men who
have joined anarchist groups in this city Within
the last few years have done it largely in a
spirit of bravado-never with idea of being
called upon TO take active part in crime
They are the men who wanted a resolution of
sympathy passed. The police laugh at them
"Oh, those fellows" they say; do you call them
anarchists? Why, they just beer drinking
'wIndbags' They wouldn't hurt anybody
There are others though, violent spirits, who
only want leader to become active criminals
These are the men who are beginning to recover
their courage and talk belligerently again. A
strange thing is that the women are more vio-
lent and venomous than the men. Since Emma
Goldman was permitted to become an anarchist
many women have been admitted to the free
societies" Before that men only were reeog-
nized anarchists.
Last night, when it became known on the
East Side that August Gildermeister, at the
Central Federated Union, had villihed the Presi-
dent and opposed a resolution Of sympathy for
him, many women openly rejoced, and praised
GiIdermeister for his courage and devotion to
his principles
THAT Gildermeisterr' said one. "Ah, he is a
man"
Yes" said another, August will yet be a
leader"
"Give us more like him." said the first, "and
anarchy's day Of triumph will come. Glider
meister, he is a man. Yes, yes! Sympathy for
McKinley-bah!" Deep disgust marked her last
words.
When the men heard of Gildermeister's action
the talk of fund for Czolgosz's defence gained
new strength. All day the talk of a defence
fund for CzoIgosz had been growing. till by
evening it had become well defined plan. In
the morning the accustomed haunts of the an
archsts were deserted and all day they were
tightly closed.
Fear seemed to have gripped the reds" But
as the day wore on they drifted together in
other places Then as they gathered their num-
bers gave them courage. A half dozen men were
in a little back room in Third-st. when another
entered and showed roughly printed circular:
IF the police are as foolish they usually are,
let them disturb us They will do it at their
peril. The King of Italy was justly sent to his
account by brave man. Let the minions of
this Car enforce his threats. and thousand
Brescis viii arise against him."
This was from a speech made by Emma Gold
man in Everett Hall, in East Fourth-st., on
December II, 1900.
Where did you get this?" the men in the
room asked eagerly
oar leaders are busy said one. THE work
is to go on
II found it in my hallway came out" said
the man who had brought in the circular.
Then the mems spirits rose. Their courage
came back and they were no longer afraid to
praise Czogosz They talked darkly OF more
deaths to come and limited at bloody times
ahead When they went into the streets they
talked bravely of their admiration for the
would be assassin, and the plans for de1ence
fund for him got under way.
The reds here are waiting anxiousiy for
news OF Emma Goldman. The police deny that
she has been here recently, but the anarchists
know better, and they wondering why she
keeps so silent. The talk of n woman as an ac-
complice to Czolgosz is Of much interest to them,
and they are also interested in the man Stutz.
arrested by the Buffalo police. Him they do not
know.
