CONDITIONS ARE DANGEROUS
Chief Severely crit'c'ses Judge Who

Chicago. Feb. 4.-"Never in the his
tory of Chicago have anarchists ana
other enemies of law and order been
more dangerous than they are at
present." declared Chief Shippy yes
terday. The police are watching
their movements closely. You never
know when they are going to break
out"
He then criticised the recent action
of Municipal Judge Oscar NJ. Torrison
in suggesting that two men, arrested
for posting red placardS unlaWfully,
advert sing an anarchist meeting, be
released without penalty. Chief Shippy
said that it amounted to an encourage
ment Of the anarchists.
The chief was grave and troubled.
He had just finished reading a police
report on an anarchist meeting the
night before at 1863 Dearborn street, in
the IIini cafe. This meeting was
called to celebrate the assassination of
King Carlos and Prince LUZ of Port
ugaL Most intlammatory speeches
were made at that meeting.
Here, are some of the sentiments ex-
pressed by e. Mcintosh:
WHO was Mckinney Was he any
better than you or |. or the king Ut
Portugal? Was he not d king who was
put there by a certain element to down
another weaker element? He got just
what he deserved as much as the king
of Portugal and some more in this
country ought to get the same thing
right now.
Il ann with the mob. l would like
to go out right now with the mob be-
hind me and kill every policeman on
the street and then throw their bodies
into The lake. like SO many dead fish.
could go out now and rob every
store and kill right and left.
II ;lm hungry. | have more respect
for robber than for any OF the un-
employed, because the robber gets 1t,
while the unemployed has not sense
enough to get it. They have no sense
here at all In Russia they are doing
ii right. They kill policemen every
day there, and they rob banks and
leave their receipts. saying the money
will De used for the revolution.
Il fully synpathiZe with the queen
of Portugal and 1 am sorry she did not
meet the fate of her despotic hus-
band. My mother was liar when she
taught me to be honest and not to steal
and rob The preacher was --
liar when he told me to believe in God.
They are all liars. The whole OF So
cety is a mass of liars
The chief put back the report on his
desk for a moment. The desk was full
of police business, but the anarchist
situation in Chicago, he thought, was
more important than nearly anything
else at that moment.
"Violent language, this he COM
mented. DO you thing it safe or de-
sirable to permit meetings where there
are such utterances?"
Assistant Chief Schuettler, who was
present, shook his head.
"And," continued the chief. what
are we to think of a judge of the mu-
nicipal court who will apparently give
encouragement to such violent red flag
meetings."
Appended to the police report was
a clipping from the Chicago Daily So
cialist. which related how Judge Tor
rison at the East Chicago avenue mu-
nicipal court recently recommended to
Assistant States Attorney Elliott that
a nonsuit be entered in the case or
Charles kissing and William Wahl.
These men We're lacking large posters
upon trolley poles in violation of city
ordinance. The posters were red,
printed in white ink in German, adj
vertising meeting to be held in COM
memoration Of Bloody Sunday"
At this meeting, held subsequently,
one of the speakers was Mcintosh, the
man who wanted to kill all the police,
to rob. and murder.
Chief Shippy called attention to a
report. also by Sergeant Mills of a
meeting held at Brands hall Jan. %
under the auspices of the United An
archist Groups of Chicago. There We're
400 anarchists present, and $40 was
collected to pay for the hall. This was
the meeting called to celebrate Bloody
Sunday" the meeting the red posters
advertised. The report stated:
'"rhe chairman Edward Winfield,
was an individual with one leg. He in
truduced Miss Lillian Forberg. She
criticised the city government, the cap
italists etc. The second speaker was
Lucy Parsons, who said:
ct am glad to meet few OF my old
friends who have been with me for the
last twenty years-the detectives. The
American flag is a disgrace to this
country. The stripes represent the
slaves and the stars the shame of the
American people.
""rhe Americans are all asleep, and
it takes the foreign class to wake them
up and make them revolutionize the
present system of government. The
American soil is the place where the
red flag will float forever and be rec
ognzed by the rest of the world
