new YORK, May 90 Never in their |
worst days were the blaekest eenters
of Russia and other European countries
where anarchy is fosrered, any worse
than certain sections of New York in
regard to breeding spots for agitation |
l against established government"
I That statement made few DAYS ago I
by one of the most prominent of New /
! York's police officials, and man who |
has studied anarchy and anarchists for
30 years along with his study of crime, |
/ aptly tells the situation in this metro |
I politan center of the Hhome of the |
free, There ism I a shadow of a doubt /
that anarchists and isSical agitators
generally have freer reign in New |
York today than they have ever had /
before. An6, strange to say, the man |
who is insisting on giving the "public /
forum speakers" and agitators the |
loosest sort of "free-speech reign is
no other official than Mayor Mitchell. |

the hands of poor maniacal old crank |

ment denounced by anarchists in the
public squares.
Speakers Preach Anarchy.
Or course, some of these public for
um speakers represent honest, God.fear
ing, reasonable organizations, such as
union labor, etc, which are protesting
reasonably against certain conditions
that even the most conservative. tory
minded individuals a-mits are all
wrong. But the majority of these
speakers are preaching anarchy as
black and destructive as can be heard
anywhere.
At Union Square, at the foot of
Benjamin Franklin s statue in Park
Row, in Rutgers Square, and other pub
lie rostrums these speakers exhort
crowds. 1t is not infrequent that
Socialist speaker and an anarchist or
an /. W. w. exhorter begin to talk at
the same time and within a few feet
OF each other. When this happens, the
/ speakers make it fun for the crowds by
heaping abuse on each Others 8 heads.
The occupation of Vera Cruz and the
Trinidad, Colo, coal strike in which
militiamen and strikers shot each other
down, furnished basis for such talk by
these speakers. The two events first
brought to general notice "Sweet
Marie GAM, Reba Edelson, Gussie
Miller, Jr., on sight, the GAM girl
Miller and other girls who follow EN-.
ma Goldman, Alexander BerlSmaan,
"Wild Joe" O'Carroll, who led the
church riots and the teachers at the
Ferrer School of Anarchy.
Sweet Marie" Is Irony.
"Sweet Marie" CAM, by the way,
was so named in irony, by the police
because of her foul tongue when har-
ranguing mobs. Besides threatening
to kill John d. Rockefeller, Jr., on
, sight, the GAM girl, cursed aand bias
. phemed hurled vile epithets at men or
women in the crowd who annoyed her
: by ieering or asking her questions, and
S made herself generally the very oppO-
, site of the name the police gave her.
Marie is a pink and white complex
ioned girl of 23. Her figure is of the
voluptuOus type and her eyes and mouth
I are extremely sensuOus. If she did not
follow too closely the habits Of Emma
Goldman in dressing she would make
+ rather an attractive girl. Women
= critics might. say that Mare's figure is
sloppy or inclining too fat.
The Edelson girl, who they say is
extremely jealous of Marie because Of
the latter IS ability to "pull the limit
l. and get away with it," until she was
o finally jailed for go days for threats,
1 was thrown into Tombs cell after
$ causing riot by her exhortations. Re
ba, or Becky as she prefers to be call
+ ed, is very nice looking.
She is light and exceedingly well
proportioned, and is very tidy in her
J. dress. Maybe that IS enc reason Marie
= doesn't get along so well with Reba
= All these women call themselves cred
+ Virgins" and 20 Red Angels. " The po
lice say it ought to be "Black An

T. Will Have Vacations.

FUND association, have been planning

t dreary winter months, and they have
It something like $4,000 to spend ON a
t good, healthy vacation.
e None of the members of the associa-
tion get more than $l5 or $40 week.
}, By far the big majority average
t around So and $13 weekly. The Vaea-
tion Savings association was planned
by several wealthy women of the city
who take charge of the funds and cha
Z perone the vacations. These wealthy
women have contributed not one penny
h toward the fund. The girls do it all
g themselves. During the winter, under
n the direction Of their patronesses, they
o give entertainments and dances which
Vt bring in some of the money. The re-
/ mainder is gathered through a tax lev.
