BRAVE COP STOPS
RUNAWAY HORSE
At FOUR CORNERS
James A. Faraher a Hero When
Hundreds Were in Path OF
Mad Steed.

With women shrieking and mon
gazing In fear, Policeman James A.
Faraher. who is detailed at the Four
Corners, risked his life during the
shopping hours today and saved the
lives and limbs, perhaps, of many.
The brave bluecoat was dragged from
the east side of Broad street to Halsey
street by runaway. and as he was
thrown to and fro all expected to see
him seriously injured at any moment.
As the horse sped on the strong arms
Of the policeman frightened around it's
neck. The spirited animal was driven
by two small boys. Both were terror
stricken, and tears of joy streamed
down their cheeks when the horse was
finally brought to a halt The animal
was attached to a heavy junk wagon
owned by Discinto Brothers, of 1872
Newark street, and the lads ON the
wagon were Angelo and Pietro, sons OF
the owner. The former is 4 years old
and the latter 8.
The horse was without a bride. and
at Mulberry and Market streets SHE'D
at q passing automobile and darted
wildly up Market street. Roundsman
Michael Tully detected the runaway,
and when he sounded his whistle three
times Faraher was aware that some
thing was wrong. The next moment
he turned and the runaway was within
a, few feet of him. He managed to
seize the shaft and shouted to the boy
with the reins In his hands to hold
fast. He managed to throw his full
weight against the horse soon after he
seized the shaft. and at every other
step his feet were lifted from the pave
ment.
Although there were scores of citi-
zens nearby none ventured helping
hand, but all were ready to shower
words of praise on the brave police
man when he brought the horse to
stop.
Roundsman Tully enthusiastically
stated that it was the best catch ever
made at the Four Corners. and Ser
geants Meehan and Donovan, of the
detective bureau, who in days gone by
were on duty there, backed up Tully.
Faraher was modest and told re-
porter that he only did his duty The
policeman's blouse was covered with
the hairs which he pulled from the
animals name. Aside from slight
strain he escaped injury.

ALDEN FREEMAN.
SPONSOR OF REDS
HAS A COLLAPSE
Wrath of Women and Night
Sticks of Police Undermine
Essex Mans Constitution.

Worn out mentally and physically
by the wrath of the members of the
Descendants of the Mayflower and
more particularly by the threatening
night-sticks of the New York police
all of which trouble has been brought
down upon his head by his taking up
the cause of Emma Goldman.
Alden Freeman today suffered a ner-
yous collapse and is under the care
OF a physician at his home, 101 Mum
avenue. East Orange.
Mr.. Freeman put himself at outs
with the society women Of the Oranges
by inviting Miss Goldman, the anar-
| chist. to a meeting of the most select
of clubs, the Descendants of the May
flower. Still undaunted In his zeal for
the cause Of anarchy by the scorn of
his neighbors he attended the lecture
which Miss Goldman was scheduled to
give Saturday morning in Lexington
Hall, 209-211 East 116th street. New
York. The New York police, however,
did not allow the lecture to go through,
but instead elected all of the 200 men
and women assembled by force. Mr..
Freeman's sense of dignity was injured
and in vigorous protest given oui
yesterday he voiced his feelings.
1t was during the course of the lec-
ture on THE Modern Drama, the Great
est Disseminator of Radical Thought. .
which Miss Goldman is scheduled to also
try to deliver in East Orange on June 8.
that the police interfered. Miss Goldman
had already lectured twice in the up
town hall, and had 1T engaged for three
more successive Saturdays When her
talk of the morning was interrupted
Miss Goldman announced it would be
resumed in the afternoon. A crowd of
1000 people assembled outside the hall
and were driven away by the police,
after one of their number struck DO
liceman. A man and woman were ar
rested.
Concerning the police interference Mr.
Freeman said:
'T went to New York yesterday
morning and called at Lexington Hall,
In 1I6th street. where Miss Goldman
was billed to speak.
Miss Goldman had been speaking for
about five minutes when three policemen
and detective came in. They asked her
to stop talking She said she would
not She said that she would be re-
sponsible for anything that she might
say and that she had a contract with
the man who owned the place. Then
the policemen went out.
Five minutes later fifteen policemen
came in. They all had long nightsticks.
They began jabbing peop', right and
left with their clubs, and soon had the
hall cleared. I protested, as did Miss
Goldman, but it was no use. A young
woman seated behind me was positively
overcome by what she saw.
Il tried to find Mayor Mcclellan. but
he was not at home. / do not want tn
pose as an especial defender of Emma
Goldman, but am a defender of free
speech. I intend to have Emma
Goldman in Orange June 8, and
/ invited some of the policemen who
stopped her in New York to come over
and hear her."
