 Chicago, Sept. 10-Captain Colleran, chief of detectives, has swornout a warrant charging Emma Goldman, who was arrested here to-day, with conspiracy to assassinate President Mc- Kinley. It gives as her co-conspirators Abraham Isaaks Maurice Isaaks, Clemence Pfeutzer, Hippolite Havel, Henry Travaglio, Alfred Schneider, Julia Nickname, Marie Isaaks, and Marie Isaaks, jr. All but Miss Gold man were arrested some days ago. The women were allowed to go, but the men were held without bail and are now in jail.
 She will be taken before magistrate tomorrow. It is expected that the city attorney will ask for an adjourn ment of her case pending advices from Buffalo. q shall insist upon an imme- l1a;,, ;y, formed of the postponement being ask ed for by the city prosecutor. "They want me to go to New York without re- quisition but will not go; know the legal ropes and I'll make them fight every step. And I'm not afraid to go at that"
 Emma Goldman, under whose red banner Leon Czolgosz claims he stands. and whose addresses he says, led him i to attempt the life of President McKin- ley, was arrested here shortly before noon to-day. She disclaimed all but the slightest acquaintance with the presidents assailant she denied abso- lutely that she or any anarchist she knew were implicated in plot to kill the president. She said she believed Czolgosz acted entirely on his own re- sponsibility and that he never claimed to have been inspired by her.
 The president, she averred, was an insignificant being to her-a mere hu- man atom whole life or death were | mat ters of supreme indifference to her or to any anarchist Czolgosz's act was | foolish, yet she declared it probably had it's inspiration in the misery which the Pole had seen about him. Violence, she said, was not a tenet in the faith of the anarchist, and she had not ad- vocated it in Cleveland, where Czolgosz he said, he heard her, nor elsewhere.
 Miss Goldman arrived here Sunday morning from St. Louis, Her immuni- ty from arrest afforded her much amusement. She told, in sentences punctuated with laughter, of her cap ture to-day. In her conversation with reporters-and she talks with them at length twice day-the excitement she was laboring under was suppressed, and only once did she break down conr- pletely That was when Captain Schuettler led her from the office of Chief of Police O'Neill to the cab which was waiting to convey her to the wo- mems annex at the Harrison street po- lice station For a moment she be- came a woman, pure and simple, and cried. In moment, however, this eX- hibition of distress was over.
 She said her purpose in coming here had been to assist the anarchists who were arrested here several days ago. She had intended to give herself up to the police, but delayed it for one reason and for another until the police she had de- rided so much had taken the matter in their own hands.
 Later in the day Miss Goldman was interviewed in the woman's annex at the police station by an Associated Press reported, Miss Goldman said
 "I feel sure that the police are help ing us more than I could do in ten years. They are making more anar- chists than the most prominent people connected with the anarchist cause could make in ten years. If they will only continue I shall be very grateful; they will save me lots of work"
 Asked if she had been on the down town streets before her arrival she an- swered:
 Certainly have. have been shop ping-went to Fields, have been in restaurants, in fact I passed the city hall several times.
 "The police knew positively that I was coming"
 What do you think of your own ar rest? she was asked
 If I told you" she replied, "it would look somewhat conceited. Not only my arrest but the others smack of the Haymarket affair. 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 an anarchist plot; if they wish to make up case they may succeed
 Referring to the would-be assassin l Miss Goldman said:
 1T feel that the man Is one of those | unfortunates who has been driven by | despair and misery to commit the l deed. I feel very deeply with him as l
