GOLDMAN RAILS AT MARRIAGE
Praises Wives Who Elope With Coach
men-Police Do Not Interfere.

Newark. ". j., July 23.-Christianity,
the law and existing social institutions
were denounced bitterly by Emma
Goldman in an address in Pfeiffer's
hall, No. S3 Magazine street. Police
CAPTAIN Christie OF the Fourth pre-
cinct and force of detectives made no
attempt OF break up the meeting, al
though she ridiculed the police and
said they were products of tyrannical
institutions. Captain Christie announv-
ed a few days ago he would not permit
Emma Goldman to speak. but Mayor
HausSling, after receiving a commu-
nication from the free speech commit
tee, decided that the proposed lecture
would rot be in violation of the law.
The lecture, which was on Marriage
and Love-" was a TRADE against the
marital institutions and an explana
ton of the doctrine of universal free
love. She referred to the marriage Ii
cense as dogs license for the bride,
and made personal attack on Roose
welt for his plea for large families.
The Goldman woman paid a tribute
to the wife who runs away with her
husbands coaachman and to the coach
man too. That. she said. was an exam
pie of the true love which triumphs
over the narrow and foolish restrictions
of society.

Madar|a| Dhinagri Is
Sentenced to Death
For Double Murder in London
On First Of July.


London, July 23-Madarlal Dhina-
gri, the Indian student, who on the
night Of July 1 at a public gathering
killed Lieut. Col. Sir William HUT
Curzon Wyllie and DR.. Caves Dalcaca,
was today found guilty and sentenced
to death at the conclusion of a trial
of less than an hours duration at the
Old Bailey police court.
During the recital of the occurrences
at the imperial institute on the night
of the tragedy, the prisoner sat in the
dock listening unconcernedly and only
once broke his silence by saying
"whatever 1 did was an act of patriot
ISM"
At the close of the evidence and in
reply to the query if he wished to ques-
ton any of the witnesses, Madarlal
said no, he only wished that the state
ment in justification of his act, that
he made in the police court July 10,
should be read. This was done and the
verdict of guilty and sentence of
death followed in a few seconds.
AS the lord chief justice concluded in
pronouncing sentence, the prisoner
drew himself up in military style and
saluted. He said:
Il thank you my lord. I am proud to
have the honor of laying down my
humble life for my country. Your
sentence of death is perfectly Illegal.
You are all powerful and can do what
you like; but remember. we will have
the power sometime. That is all l have
to say

Big New Bedford Cord
age Plant Burned.
Main edlhlng and Separate
Office Structure Are Quilted.
Spontaneous Combustion Cause OF
Fire, Eleventh In Day. g.

New Bedford. Mass. July 23.-The
factory of the New Bedford Cordage
Co, one of the largest manufacturers
of rope in the country, was practically
destroyed by fire this morning, the
damage running well to 100000. The
picker room, where the fire started, the
main building. and the separate office
building, were Quilted, only the brick
walls remaining, while the rope walk
only by their absolute fireproof con-
struction.
The fire started from spontaneous
combustion caused by grit in the hemp
| used in the picker room, and it spread
rapidly through the oil soaked material
and buildings. The componys private
| fire alarm box was sounded about Z
o'clock and it was followed Immediate
ly by an alarm from another nearby
| pox. The company's own fire fighting
organization did very effective work
and the streams Of water which it COM
manded were at first of greater power
than those of the city department.
The oil about the factory made the
blaze bad one to handle. but brick
construction confined the flames. The
factory is located at the corner of Ash
and Court streets in the western part
of the city.
This was the 18th fire within "a hours,
the firemen having been kept on the
jump all night by incendiary blazes in
yariou parts of the city.

said. Then, turning to young Scharff.
the magistrate inquired: do you con-
sent to being hypnotized that you may
be come good boy?"
Scharff said he did, and that he de-
sired to be good. He was warned by the
magistrate that if he failed to report
each Sunday morning to Probation Of

by warrant for his arrest.
Dr.. Flock went to the court to plead
that the boy be turned over to him so
he might reform him by hypnotic sug-
gestion. He is the official alienist for
