GOLDMAN DIDN'T SPEAK.
No Managers of Halls Would Rent
Their Rooms.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 9.-Emma Gold
man, propounder of the doctrines of
anarchy, did not make a public address
in Chicago Sunday as it had been her
announced purpose to do.
Strict orders issued by the police dur
ing the week to owners and managers
of public halls left her without place
in which to hold a meeting. To guard
against a surprise, however, police were
detailed to watch all gatherings of
socialists and anarchists, but reports
from all quarters indicated that no at
tempt was made by her to violate the
police injunction against public speak
ing
Special attention was paid by the po-
lice to a concert and meeting held in a
hall at North Clark and Erie. streets
where many anarchists were known to
be among the attendants and where it
was said to have been advertised that
Miss Goldman would appear. No dem
Onstration of any sort occurred, and no
arrests were made. W.
An attempt of the Socialists Science
League, radical organization to hold
a meeting in a room in the Masonic
Temple was frustrated by the police last
night. Some 200 members of the society
gathered in expectation of hearing a
speech by Miss Goldman, not knowing
that permission to hold the meeting had
been denied by the agent of the build
ing. Upon refusal by some of the dis
appointed ones to disperse when order
ed by the Waterman to do so, the police
were summoned and the hall was
cleared.

FOR THREATENING CANNON.
Improper Postal Cards Bring Arrest
for Indiana Man.

Indianapolis, March SHERMAN Main.
81 years of age, and a veteran of the
civil war, was arrested here Saturday
night on advfces from Washington to
the effect that he had written threaten
ing postal cards to Speaker Cannon,
Congressman Overstreet and other pub
lie met. The cards were written under
the name of A. G.. BENEFIT, but the Unit
ed States officials had little difficulty
in tracing them to Main. He was found
in the back room of house at rs North
Liberty street, and protested vigorously
over his arrest. He said he had lived
here eight years and had been a writer
for Chicago and New York papers, and
haG never been in any trouble.
This is a rank conspiracy" he de-
cIared. You don't see Hartman and
the other big stealers being arrested,
do you? I am told by the spirits that I
have a mission in life and I'm going to
carry it OUT
The postal card to Speaker Cannon
declares that the writer helped build
the Republican party and is interested
in it's success, and says: You are
bribed to kill the pure food bill and the
meat inspection bill. If you knew how
people curse your lank. old face you
would dread to die and meet your
Maker. Who owns the country? Not
old Joe Cannon"
The authorities do not seem to know
whether to regard Main as dangerous
man or simply as a crank.

for a reduction in the charges for nat
ural gas.
Twenty-Five cents per thousand

cents for the second five years and 30
cents for the remaining period of
years that natural gas may be furnish
ed for domestic consumption in To-
peka are the terms of the new gas
ordinance which was drawn up this
noon by the city attorneys Office.
Ten per cent penalty for failure to
pay gas bills by the tenth of the
month or time that may be specified is
also provided for as an extra charge
above the rates mentioned. Aside
from this no other charge can be ex-
acted under penalty of up to maxi
mum fine of $500.
The ordinance was drafted upon a
resolution introduced in the council
and adopted by the council.
1.-THE charges are the same as those
in the two Kansas Citys and Leaven-
WORTH said F. G. Dreaming, city at
torney. ST took some trouble to find
out If they were the same before
drawing up a new ordinance
The council wants to submit this in
the species of an amendment to the
present franchise ordinance of the
Consumers Gas company which per-
mits it to make a maximum charge of
up to As cents if It SO desires.
The present ordinance will be re-
ferred to the gas and electric lights

a Horse Sells for SO.

For the first time in number of
years an auction sale of impounded
live stock under the auspices of the
police department took place this
morning. Chief Eaton by virtue of
his office performed the role of auc-
tioneer. The sale was confined to one
small black mare, the sole inmate of
the pound. The mare was taken up
February %, and the two weeks pre-
scrfbed by the law before the animal
could be sold, expired yesterday. The
mare was sold to g. w. Pierce of
Fourteenth and Western avenue and
enriched the city treasury to the ex-
tent of nine dollars. Those who wit
messed the sale do not think Mr..
Pierce got much Of bargain.
