M.. in time for trains in all directions. Lunch will be served on the boat
 There is much to be seen in the East ern Shipbuilding Company's plant. where every facility is at hand for the working and handling of the heavy ma ferial used in the construction of the ships. Electricity and compressed air are largely used in the various parts of the work. and there is now in course or construction an entirely new form Of cOnveyor for distributing the plates and other material to all parts or the ships.
 At Fort Wright, where battery for eight 12-inch mortars is under con struction, methods of assembling ma terials and mixing and placing con crete may be observed.

ANARCHISTS ARE FREE
NINE PRISONERS At CHICAGO LIB
GRATED BY CHETLAIN.
Prosecutor Announced There Was No
Evidence Against Them-Emma
Goldman tn BE Freed To-Day.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-The nine Anarchists
who have been under arrest since the
assassination of President Mckinley were
to-day given their freedom, Judge Chetlain
so ordering after the prosecution had adj
mitted that there was no legal evidence
against them. Emma Goldman was not a
party TO the proceedings. Her case is set
for tomorrow before Magistrate Prindi-
vile. where she and the nine men freed to-
day are charged will conspiracy to murder
President Mckinley. The cases in the ow-
ct court with reference to the men is. of
course, nulliied by the action of Judge Chef
lain to-day. Miss Goldman also will be set at
liberty, as Justice Prindiville has agreed to
take such action In her case as the upper
court took in the cases of the men. Attor-
ney Brown said he would try to have Miss
Goldman freed to-day. When the hearing
on the writ of habeas corpus began before
Judge Chetlain, DR.. Taylor, the city prose-
cutOr, arose and at once declared that he
could no longer ask that the prisoners be
held. ''They were arrested at the request Of
the Buffalo authorities, but we nave no
legal evidence against them" he said.
Attorney Geeting, for the REALTORS. then
decided that, in view of the gravity of the
Offense which had been charged against
his clients that the prosecution be required
10 state what cause or what suspicious
weighed with the police in making the ar
rests. Judge Chetlain said that in view of
the fact that the prosecution representing
both the city and the State, as well as Buff
falO. by indirectiOn, had agreed to the lib
Grafton of the prisoners and admitted that
there was no evidence against them, that
there was no reason for further inquiry into
the matter. The court then ordered that
the prisoners be liberated.
The prisoners had been silent, their faces
expressionlesS. during the proceedings.
When the court ordered the Jail doors
opened TO them there was not a trace of
jubilatiOn on their faces. They We're led
back TO the Jail. where they collected their
belongings, chiefly magazines and newspa-
peTs, and then came down stairs, where
they met friends and members of their
families. For the first time they showed
evidences of pleasure. The party then de-
parted in various directions, refusing police
protection to their homes.
Emma Goldman received the news of the
liberation of her friends with a laugh.
Il guess they'll have TO let me go now"
she said. ut has been shown that the men
named as cOnspirators with me did not con-
spire, and l fancy they would have trouble
trying to show that l conspired all by my
self "
