dresses Made by the Rev0lutionist
Leader and also the Rev. Alexander
f. Irvine and Attorney Maier London
of New York.
Sympathizers of the revolutionary
Russians turned out in large numbers
at Music hall last night to greet Greg
DRY Maxine, the revolutionist leader
and also to hear him and others talk
of the methods that were being pursued
in order to free their native country OF
the bonds with which their fellow men
are enthralled. Previous to the meet
ing at Music hall Mr.. Maxine has ten
| dered a reception at the home of SAM
uel Neveloff at 80 Hallock street. The
party reached the Music hall nearly an
| hour late and were accorded very
| hearty reception by the large crowd.
The Italian band was present and dis
| coursed various selections which We're
greatly appreciated by the crowd. They
also rendered the Marsellaise hymn,
which was the signal for a general out
hurst of enthusiasm combined with a
waving of the colors of the socialistic
party, which adorned the platform. The
! chief object of the meeting was to en-
list the sympathies of the people in the
the cause of the revolutionary leaders
and to get their fundamental help in
carrying the work to a successful ter
mination. The first speaker was Rev.
Alexander f. Irvine, who spoke strong
! ly in favor Of the movement and the
! necessity for their going deep down in
| their pockets for the whereWithal to
help along the cause. Revolutions, he
said, were never considered respectable
until after they had been successful.
He condemned with all his power Of
| speech capital punishment" and pre-
dicted that the day was not far distant
when the people of this state would de-
nounce and call for it's adjustment. He
likened Mr. Maxine to such men as
! Washington, Clay and Lincoln The
| red flag of the socialistic party, he
said, was the flag Of all nations and
( was the emblem of universal brother
hood. The reason why the people Of
New Haven turned up their norses
when they saw red flag was because
they knew no more what the meaning
of it was than did a goat (applause).
| Mr. Irvine concluded by saying that If
they believed that the suffering people
| In Russia required helR then it was
their duty to come forward and help
them to gain their social liberty and
economic freedom.
Mailer London Of New York followed
/ Mr.. Irvine. He spoke of the causes that
led up to the revolutionary movement
and Of the suffering of the people, the
atrocities that had been and still We're
being committed. He told Of the work
which was being carried on for the
freedom of the Russian people and
what had to be contended with in car
| rying on the warfare against the of the
czar. If they must die in the fight, he
counseled them to at least die on the
| battlefield and with honor.
Mr. Maxine received a perfect ova-
ton when he arose to address the
meeting. He is the leader Of the strk-
/ ing Workingmen at Riga. There Is a
reward of $4,000 for his capture by
| the Russian authorities and he has
| been sent to this country to collect
| funds to be used for the advancement
of the Russian revolutionary doctrines,
! both here and in Russia. At the time
! of the revolt Of the Baltic provinces
last fall, Maxine was chosen to be the
first governor under the autonomy es-
| tablished as result of the demands
made by the inhabitants
Mr.. Maxine spoke In the Russian
: language. He started by speaking in
a low tone of voice which he gradually
raised when he wanted to emphasize
! his remarks on his hearers. He did
very little gesturing and invariably
kept one hand resting on the table be-
side him while the other reposed In his
pocket. That he was a convincing
+ speaker and had thorough knowledge
Of the subject he handled was evident
from the rapt attention with which he
was followed by those who understood
him. He told them in their own Ian
I guage of the causes which led UP to
the revolution. TIE car, he claimed.
feeling things were getting too warm
for him was forced to offer the people
something in order to appease their
wrath which was boiling and would
soon bubble over. The present govern
ment was not in the interest or for the
benefit of the people people and the
fight for freedom would go on until the
Russian people were made independent
and self-governing. The hat had been
passed around before Mr.. Maxine
