ANARCHISTS GATHER
FOR DEMONSTRATION

New York, July 11.-Seven thou
sand persons. some professed anar-
chists. some members OF the Indus
trial Workers Of the World. the Free
Speech League and kindred organiz-
ations and some merely curious,
gathered in Union Square this after
noon for the demonstration in men,
ory OF the three men killed in the
bomb explosion of July 4. The ash es
Of the victims were not exhibited in
urns. the mayor having forbidden it..
Seven hundred police surrounded
the square before the services were
begun. There was no Immediate dis
order.
Alexander Berkman, anarchist,
was the first speaker He spoke
from a stand decorated with the an
archistic red and the mourning
black. He had a red and black band
on his arm and q red carnation
pinned to his coat. Surrounding the
stand were banners executed in red
and black. One proclaimed:
"Caron. Hanson and the rest did
not die In vain.''
Berkman launched into a bitter at
tack on John d. Rockefeller.
These men may have been mur-
dered by the agents Of the capital
ists." he said. Tf SO. John D. Rocke-
feller is responsible for their death.
He has committed many murders
and would not stop at this. Or may
be the men were murdered because
of their loyalty. They were either
victims of a murder plot or are mar
tyrs to the cause OF liberty.
II hope they were martyrs and
were killed by bomb they expected
to use against the enemies OF labor.
We are now ready to resort to phys
ical force. We will get our rights
by bloodshed. We are advancing
toward a revolution"
The crowd cheered Berkman's re-
marks and when he had concluded
gave three cheers for the dead men.

keep away.
On two different occasions Valdez
has come to Trinidad to get mar
riage license to wed the Italian
maiden and has appealed to the To-
cal police and also the sheriff for
protection, as Martorano had threat
cned to kill him If he ever attempt-
ed to marry his daughter. The girl
is over age, however, and the police
nor the shcriff's office had any right
to interfere in any way with the
marriage, as she had right to marry
Valdez If she chose.
Yesterday afternoon about two
o'clock Valdez came to the city with
Pat Anaya. another striker who was
at one time chief of police at the
Ludlow tent colony and is
said to have led the Mex
lean strikers in all their raids, and
asked the police and also the sheriff
for protection at the wedding, as
he was then about to procure Ii

Alderman Kahn said he was in fa-

that the committee proceed to Sc
cure the consent of 81 per cent of

would agree to accommodate the
property owners to the extent of
granting them time to pay the cost
of curbs and cutters by accepting

equitable arrangement.
There was some discussion. the
city attorney explaining the legal
phases of all matters relative to spe-
cial assessment funds, manner of
collection by certificates, etc. Dona-
hue and Wright considered the city
was taking step that would throw
the city into bankruptcy in view OF
the fact that no provision had been
made for storm sewers or to take
care OF damage, etc.
Judge J. G. Northcutt, counsel
for Laughlin, when called upon, adj
dressed the council. He held that
there was nothing to settle, that the
contract had been awarded, the work
started, and that the contractor had
got together all material at large
expenditure of money and would suf-

that ample time would be allowed

first stop which is for the purpose of
taking on deck hands for the balance
of the trip. These lean, lank, Fortune
Island darkies are said to be better

ports of Jamaica and Colon and so
they are booked for the balance of the
cruise and dropped on the return trip.
For this they receive the magnificent
sum of fifty cents a day, half in real
cash and half in store credit. Fortune
Island is ruled by one white man, the
only white person on the island. He
has his w sloop and occasionally
visits the neighboring ports where he
regales himself in splendor at the best
hotels in the country. He is married,
