with a yawn, was an insignificant
being to her-a mere human atom
whose life or death were matters Of
supreme indifference to her, or to
any anarchist. Czolgosz's act was
foolish. Yet, she declared, it prob
ably had its inspiration in the misery
which the Pole had seen about him.
Violence, she said, was not tenet
in the faith Of the anarchist, and she
had not advocated it in Cleveland,
where Czolgosz has said he heard her,
nor elsewhere.
Miss Goldman arrived here Sunday
morning from st. Louis. Her immu-
nifty from arrest while in the Mis-
souri, metropolis and up to yesterday
in Chicago afforded her much amuse-
ment. She told in sentences punctu-
ated with laughter of her capture
yesterday. In her conversation with
reporters--and she talked with them
at length twice during the day-the
excitement she was laboring under
was suppressed and only once did she
break down completely. That was
when Capt. Schuettler led her from
the office of Chief of Police O'Neill to
the cab which was waiting to convey
her to the woman's annex to the
Harrison street police station. For
n moment she became woman, pure
and simple, and cried. In moment,
however, this exhibition of distress
was over and when she put her foot
on the step to mount into the car
riage she was again Emma Goldman,
the thigh priestess of anarchy as
she has been styled by her followers.
She. was held on a warrant sworn
out by Capt. Colleran, charging her
with conspiracy to murder the presi-
dent. As her co-conspirators were
named the anarchists already in JAIL
She will be taken before a magistrate
to-day.
Later in the day Miss Goldman was
interviewed in the woman's annex
at the police station by an Associated
press reporter and said: 81 feel
sure that the police are helping us
more than I could do in ten years.
They are making more anarchists
than the most prominent people con-
nected with the anarchist cause could
make in ten years. If they will only
continue, I shall he very grateful;
they will save me lots of work."

arrest?' she was asked.
"lf I told you" she replied, ut
would look somewhat conceited, and
| certainly would not like to be
guilty of that. Not only my arrest.

market. The police are very much
in disrepute all over the country and
they wish to do something to clear
themselves. They are trying to
make it m anarchist plot; If they
wish to make up case they may sue

Referring to the attempt on the
life Of the president, Miss Goldman
sad ut is dirty trick to charge
n the newspaper reports that 1t was
he result of an anarchist plot.
Mark Hanna has been the ruler of
his country, not Mckinley McKin-
ey has been the most insignificant
'uler that this country has ever had.

Mark Hanna. Other presidents have

he knows nothing-is tool in the

What man in the United States,
n your opinion, is Of sufficient prolni-
fence to warrant such a plot?" she
vas asked.
II am not in position to say" re-
lied Miss Goldman, 'who ought to

'ealthy of this country are response
