REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Chicago Sept. 10.-Emma Goldman, sne
whose denunciation Of government and So
ciety, It is alleged. inflamed the anarchist
Czolgosz and turned him into the would
be assassin OF President Mckinley, was ar
rested in this city to-day. She had been
here. SO she says, since Sunday morning
working for the welfare Of her anarchist
friends, prisoners here. and enjoying her
self by lodging the police.
Breathing out defiance Of government.
heaping words of scorn on the police. ex-
pressing complete indifference toward the
stricken President. but disclaiming all Idea
of violence and all connection with Czol-
gosz she faced the Chief Of Police and the
Mayor and host Of city officials and news
paper men in the Chiefs office.
She was s.rikingly bold In her language,
and yet ever and again at the point Of
breakdown and tears. Her strength held
out. though her woman'e weakness asserted
itself as she realized the weight already
pressing on her shoulders Of that very law
against which her life has been a continual
protest.
When the hours of questioning were over
and when she had been given a good taste
OF that relentless. deep-going. ever-repeated
examination which in public and private
interviews in the days to come will search
the hidden places OF her thoughts. she was
taken away to the women's annex at the
Harrison street jail, where she will be held
for the present
CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY
AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.
A warrant was sworn out for her in
Justice Prindiville's court by Chief Of De-
tectives Colleran, charging her with con-
spiracy with Isaaks and with all the men
and women arrested in their Carroll ave-
nue. house, excepting Henry Travaglio. to
murder William Mckinley. She will appear
before Justice Prindiville at the opening Of
his court tomorrow morning to answer to
the charge. and she will be held over for
ten days without bail. awaiting further In
vestigation. The charge does not mention
Czolgosz as fellow-conspirator.
All the indications point to the early
transfer OF Miss Goldman from the city
to the Federal authorities and to the ul-
innate handling OF her case by the Gov
ernment which her followers outraged in
the person OF the highest oficial.
The wires were kept warm with messages
between Chief O'Nein and the Buffalo au-
thorities to-day. But the latter seemed at
sea a. to what was the best attitude to
take. and they were delighted that Chicago
was willing to assume the responsibility
and hold the most important OF an sus-
pects. outside Of the assassin himself. in
her own courts.
ACCUSES POLICE OF
AIDING THE ANARCHISTS.
Miss Goldman was interviewed in the
woman's annex at the police station and a
istenographic report taken. Miss Goldman
said:
'T feel sure that the police are helping Us
more than could do in ten years. They
are making more anarchists than the most
prominent people connected with the an
archist cause could make in ten years. II
they will only continue / shall be very
grateful: they will save me lots Of work.

streets before her arrest. she answered.:
