RAID ANARCHIST MEETING
John Turner Arrested in New York
Charged with Inciting Anarchy.
Among the Speakers We're Emma
Oldma and Herr MOst-Great
Excitement Prevailed.

New York. Oct. 24.-Armed with q
warrant sworn out by Secretary Cortel-
you, of the department of commerce
and labor, four immigration inspectors,
with several secret service detectives
and several policemen, went to Murray
Hill lyceum Friday night and arrest
ed John Turner, an Englishman. on
a charge Of melting and promoting
anarchy in violation of the alien labor
laws. Turner had just finished a lee
ture on Trades Unionism Of the Cen
eral Strike" and the hall, which was
crowded, was in an uproar when the
arrest was made, but the police were
too numerous for the crowd to do more
thai shout their disapproval. Turner
was put aboard a revenue cutter and
taken to Willis island, where he wal
locked up.
immigration Commissioner Williams
has had a warrant for Turner's arrest
for five weeks. The federal officials
allege that he has been going from
city to city preaching anarchy, and,
though trailed by a number of secret
service detectives, he was not appre-
hended until Friday night.
Emma Goldman sat on the platform
with Turner and denounced his arrest,
but urged the crowd to leave the hall
without making a demonstration. Tur-
ner will be arraigned before a United
States commissioner to-day.
There were more than 500 anarchists,
including Emma Goldman and John
Most, in the hall at the time. Secret
Service agents in this city recently
learned that Turner had been c%onsort-
ing with John Most and Emma Gold
man, and a few nights ago they To-
Gated him. After the first excitement
Emma Goldman sprang to the center
of the platform, and babe the audience
be calm. But for her presence a riot
would have been precipitated. She
afterwards went to the police station
and denounced the police.

AS AN ACT OF Comfy.
The Surrender of Kratz Will Call
For Reciprocity on Our Part.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The state de-
partment has arranged for the return
from Mexico to st. Louis for trial of
the alleged boodler, Chas. G. Kratz.
The constitution of Mexico making it
impossible to surrender fugitives from
this country charged with bribery COM
mitter prior to the negotiation Of the
new ~extradition treaty, the state de-
partment has called on the Mexican
government to surrender Kratz as an
act of comfy, a very unusual proceed
ing on the part of the United States
government. Mexico has a law allow
ing fugitives to be surrendered under
such a call, even when their alleged
crimes are not ex%traditable under
treaty. The only requirement is that
the nation seeking the surrender of
such a fugitive shall engage to grant
any similar request coming from Mex
leo. The state department is waiting
to hear further from Gov. Dockery Of
Missouri before issuing the final pa
pers ~accrediting Misssouri's agents
with authority to receive Kratz.

CLARENCE BARNES
FOUND NOT GUILTY
The First Ballot Was Unanimous
and in Favor Of Acquittal.
PATHETIC SCENES IN COURT
The Defendant and His Wife, who
Sat 1 by Side During the Trial,
Cried Like Children and Audi
encc Was Deeply Moved.

Troy, Mo-, Oct. 24.-Clarence A.
Barnes was acquitted Friday of the
charge of numbering Representative
Rhodes Clay at Mexico, Mo-, in August,
1902. The jury returned a verdict of
moi guilty at 4:55 o'clock Friday after
noon after being out 4S minutes. The
jurors agreed on the first ballolt.
A tap on the jury room door told
that the jurymen were anxious to re-
turn the verdict. A path was made
for the jurors through the center aisle
of the court room, which was crowd
ed almost to s%uffocation. Foreman
Horatio Humphrey handed the verdict
to Judge Shelton, who read:
1--WE, the. jury find the defendant not
guilty as charged"
Cheer after cheer greeted the de-
cision. So demonstrative were the peo-
pie in the court room that it was sew
eral minutes before Judge Shelton re-
stored order. The judge reprimanded
the spectators severely for their con-
duct.
A sigh of relief escaped Mrs. A. G,
Barnes and her daughter, Irma, mother
and sister of the defendant, as the YER
dict was read. Then they burst into
tears. Clarence Barnes, too, was hap
Ply, and in the space of a few minutes
he had shaken hands with perhaps fifty
of his friends, who rushed to congratu-
late him.
Col. Clay walked up and down the
pavement in front of the courthouse
during the time the jury was out. The
verdict reached him through one OF
the attorneys for the state. 1t is said
that it affected him greatly and was a
severe disappointment.
Before the case was submitted to the
jury Friday afternoon, the case had
the appearance of a funeral instead of
a cold court trial. The audience wept
as well as the defendant and his faith
full little wife at his side, and Col.
Green Clay, the hoary-headed father of
the deceased representative.
The first sad scene was when At
torney Voolfolk Tor the state told OF
his association with the brilliant young
representative in the state legislature,
and what a generous and reliable pub
lie servant he was, and as he held up
the dead mans coat, he said: cal
though Rhodes Clay's mouth is closed
forever, and his body lies under the
sod of his own county, yet the three
CHASTITY holes in this coat tell the
story of his murder"
The old father wept bitterly, and
Barnes friends sympathtized with him,
although they think it was a case of
self-defense. Another equally sad
scene, if not more SO, was the closing
argument of Frank Jesse, for the de-
tense. He told the beautiful story of
Ruth and Naomi, and said he could
see Clarence Earnest going to his
faithful little wife the evening of their
wedding last June. on the very day
he was indicted for the murder. and
entreating her to remain with her
mother, but no, like Naomi, she chose
his God and his fate, although ii
might be a felon's cell.
The defendant and his wife, who sat
| side by side, cried like children, and
the audience seemed deeply moved.
