Emma Goldman visited him many
times, often making a special trip
from New York to Allegheny, where
he was imprisoned. She travelled I'M

ingly tells the story that she was
never recognized. When asked how
she managed to hide her identity she
simply smiles, and the questioner
must be satisfied with that answer.
She had made several attempts to Sc

which in it's beginning enjoyed the
active support of the radicals of the
country. Their sympathy, however,
was partly a1ienated as the result of
the October issue of 1906, the contents
of which were devoted to the consid-
Grafton of Czolgosz and his act, and Of
the social and psychological signifi-
canoe of the latter.
The New York police now became
very active against the anarchists, the
specially created anarchist squad"
working with vigor, and their efforts
finally resulting in the forcible disper-
sion of a meeting called by anarchists
to discuss the act of CZolgOSZ. A num-
Der of those present, including Emma
Goldman, were arrested, but not held
Closely following this incident the
queen was again arrested, together
with John Coryen and Alexander Berk-
man, during lecture on ''The Miscon-
ceptiOns of Anarchism. Though
these arrests were made under Sec
lions of the criminal anarchy" law, no
conviction was secured.
The Denver Murder.
Again, in 1907, Emma Goldman and
Alexander Berkman were repeatedly
arrested and prevented from speaking
by the police in various cities. The
queen then visited Amsterdam, Hol-
land, where she attended the interna-
tiona1 anarchist conference in August,
1907. On her return to America she
was confronted by the federal authori-
ties, who tried to keep her out of the
land, but in this they were unsuccess-

Her hand is small and well kept,
her complexion youthful and her hair
still chestnut. Her dark, penetrating
eyes shine lynxlike behind glasses
which hide her most marked sign of
age, growing network of wrinkles.
This astonishing woman's voice is low

gets of her, despite the firm chin, is of
mildness and gentleness, even when
she is speaking in public.

first meeting in New York, on October

thorities under the clause in the immi-
grafton law which forbids the landing

The queen was not to be outdone,
however. She secured the release of
Turner on bail, fought the authorities
at every turn, and kept Turner busy
lecturing in the larger cities. In the
end, through the United States SUI
preme court, John Turner was deport-
ed, but the queen" had won a victory

Emma Goldman, recognizing the
need of an English organ for anarchy

published in San Francisco and then
in Chicago, having suspended publ

Miss Goldman at that time declared.
in fact she has always said, that she
did not preach destruction, but taught
peace, harmony and brotherly love
among men, regardless of race, creed
or COLOR How true this may be can
be judged by her subsequent career
The Buffalo Tragedy.
On September 6, 1901, President
Mckinley was shot by Leon Czolgosz
at the Buffalo exposition, his injuries
resulting fatally. 1t was said that
Czolgosz had claimed to be a follower
of Emma Goldman and that her lee
ture at Cleveland, o.. just prior to the
tragedy had inspired him to commit
the deed; thereupon the United States
government acting with the authori-
ties of New York state, demanded her
arrest.
She left ST. Louis, where she had
been staying, and went to Chicago;
she was promptly arrested and put
under $4,000 bail. In lieu of the bail
she spent some time in the Cook
county Jail, while the government,
anxious to secure her extradition to
New York, spent $50, 900 and employed
200 detectives to get evidence against
her. Every effort was made to con-
meet the queen" with the cowardly
act of CzolgOsz, but as no proof was
forthcoming she had finally to be dis
charged, and came east once more.
In 1902, during the strike of the
weavers in Paterson, Emma Goldman,
working with group of local anar-
chists, used the opportunity to agitate
her doctrines. During the progress of
the strike an encounter took place be-
tween the mob and the police, as re-
suit of which warrants were issued
for the arrest of the queen" Luigi
Gallerni, William Mcqueen and Ru-
dolph Grossman. The latter two were
arrested, tried and sentenced to five
years Imprisonment. Miss Goldman
went into hiding and was never
brought to court
Outwitted the Law.
Gallerni fled to Barre, VT, where he
began the publication of the Cronach
Souversiva, an anarchistic organ.
Emma Goldman made frequent visits
to Barre, and with the aid of the paper
and Gallerni gained large following
among the Italian StOnecutterS of that
region, through whom anarchiSm has
spread among Italians throughout the
land Here, as in other cities, Miss
Goldman was prevented from speak
ing a number of times by the police.
In October, 1903, John Turner ar
rived in this country at the invitation
of Miss Goldman, with the object of

Anarchist agitation in the United
States is being carried in in almost all
the various languages spoken in this
country, including Japanese and Ar
menian Though French and Spanish
propaganda is, however, somewhat
tagging at present, Germinal, edited
by Michel Dumas, and. Ell Desperter,
edited by Pedro Esteve, have not been
able to keep up their work. On the
other hand, the German, Bohemian,
Italian and western groups are said to
be very active.
So here you have a dramatic situa-
ton with a denouement still in doubt
On the one hand is a woman, a for
eigner, fired with fanatic hatred OF
American institutions, and clever
enough to keep alive and growing a
widespread organization of other for
eigners as bitterly hating our govern
ment and all that it represents On
the other are the combined powers of
organized society fighting desperately
against a dangerous social fungus that
threatens it's health and perhaps its
very life And in the very center OF
it all is the woman.

RACES of like kind. Yet she is still
sowing the seeds of violence in this
land of liberty with such success that
the federal state and municipal au-
thorities have become thoroughly
alarmed and now are making COM
bined struggle to stamp out once for
all the dangerous fire of anarchy.
And what manner of woman is this
who is able to win converts to a doc
trine of murder in a democratic coun-
try whenever she speaks? This Ques-
ton has never been satisfactorily an
swered, for the woman is a good deal
of a mystery in spite of the fact that
her doings are chronicled almost daily
in the newspapers. This impartial
study of her and her career was made
at first hand, and is the first complete
account yet published.
Came to America.
Emma Goldman was born on June
81, 1870, at Kovno, Russia, an impor-
tant town in the western part of the
empire near the German border At
ter attending school in her native
town she was sent to Koonigsberg.
Germany, to finish her education. In
1881, ner parents having pT0CeQeQ n0T,
Emma, accompanied by her elder sis
ter Helen, came to America and set
tied with her relatives at Rochester,
N. Y. Here she engaged in dressmak-
ing and claims to have been success
full She was married in 1856 to JOS
cph Kirshner, the ceremony being per
formed by rabbi in accordance with
the faith in which she had been
brought up. This union, however. did
not prove happy and the couple soon
separated by mutual consent, but re-
manned friends.
1t was about this time that Emma
Goldman began to take an interest in
anarchistic teachings Then came the
bomb-throwing episode in Chicago, for
which Parsons, Spies, Engell, Fischer
and Lingg, all anarchists, paid the
penalty on the scaffold and Emma
Goldman's course in life changed, she
forthwith took up the preaching OF
what she calls, with unconscious
irony, "the higher doctrine of HUMANE
ty," and has stuck to it since, through
many vicissitudes-

A PitifuI Traaedy.

On her way to shut of a windmill
near her home at Oakley, while a
heavy storm was blowing, Mrs. W. F.
Waggy was struck by lightning and
killed. Missing its mother, a two
year-old child wandered into the storm
and lay down on it's mothers body, be
ieving her to be asleep. When neigh
bors came to the house the next morn
ing they found the little child still
asleep. In the house an infant child
was found hanging by its chin to the
bib of high chair. The babe had
been left in the chair when the moth
er went out to her death. Failing
asleep, the child slipped down and
caught itself in the bib. It was near
ly strangled to death.

aged 18 years, choked his father, ].

The trouble occurred on the Bird farm
southeast of Pittsburg. The body OF
the dead man was found in his field

bors. Up to the time that he was
placed under arrest for the murder,
young Bird did not know that he had
killed his father.
