The anarchists have never had fuller
sweep In their scope Of murderous en-
deavor In any country or in any city
than they are now being given In New
York.
That Alexander Berkman and Emma
Goldman, the king and queen of an
archy In this country, count on a wo-
man to turn the trick of reprisal is
plain. Sweet Marie" Gantz, a follow

seek the young millionaire In his own

ceases to talk.
