man Eulogizes Martyrs.

Emma Goldman went down into the East
Side last night and tried to generate en-
thusiasm for anarchy at the Terrace
LyCeum, No 206 East Broadway, but the
roof did not lift over the customary cheers
The meeting was held 10 remind the East
Side of the five Chicago anarchists who
We're executed after the Haymarket riot or
1887 in Chict go. Miss Goldman sought to
draw a comparison between the part played
by the government in the death of these
men with that Of Spain in the case Of Fran
cisco Ferrer. She declared a crisis was
imminent in Los Angeles following the
blowing up OF The Times" Building, a
catastrophe which she attributed to Gen
eral Otis and his gang
Miss Goldman didn't like the New York
newspapers because they printed "colyums
on colyums' Of other news. and gave but
little space to a dispatch which predicted
the execution of Denjiro Kokotu, his wife,
and twenty-four other socialists and an
archists. Kokotu's crime against Japan
she said was limited to the translation or
Karl Marx. Tolstoi. KropotIin and other
radical writer's into Japanese. Other speak
ers were Dr. Benjamin K. Reitman. Leon
