BERKMAN ARDOR COOLS
BODIES ARE CREMATED

The radical and conservative elements
among the anarchists locked horns last
night at the Ferrer School, So Fast
lo7th street on the question as to how
far they dare go in defying the police at
the demonstration over the ashes of the
three mon killed in last Saturdays bomb
explosion,
Representatives of fifteen anarchistc
organizations from New York. Brooklyn,
Paterson and other nearby cities debated
tho question for several hours and finally
adjourned without having reached a con-
clusion. The executive committee VIII
meet again this afternoon and give out
a statement.
The meeting last night was behind
closed doors. Reporters were excluded
but from sounds that noated out through
the barred windows of the anarchists
educational institution Vt was evident that
the discussion was very warm.
Agree on DemonS1.xtios.
The only decision reached last night on
which any ono was allowed to talk was
made public by Berkman himself. 1t was
to the effect that there will surely be
some sort of demonstration over the
ashes of the dead anarchists.
There will be n demonstration on Sat
urday afternoon at Union square," said
tho anarchist chief. I'VE intend to honor
the three me~ Sho were killed and the
place of honor will be where the three
urns containing their ashes stand"
The PRINCIPAL stumbling block last night
was whether or not the anarchists should

ing through the streets to Union square.
II was understood among the younger
anarchists until last night that those who
were going to the funeral on Saturday
would assemble at the Fcrrer school at
noon and march down Fifth avenue TO
the Square. with the ashes escorted by
guard of honor. Bcrkman and others
were not sure that this was wise thing
to do and the battle of words ragged for
several hours over the point.
The urns containing the ashes OF the
three victims will be taken 70 Berkman
at the Mother Earth office at noon to-day
BY Undertaken Nathan u. Morris.
The police have still failed to fnd

Mayor Mitchell and other officials were
confident yesterday that the new ordi-
cessions would he the means of stopping
any unseemly demonstration on Saturday.
New LAW Strengthens Woods.
Police Commissioner Woods is under

tentions of the reds. lie Is said to be of
the opinion that he can stop them under
the new ordinance. The section which is
likely to he invoked Is as follows:
'He the Police Commissioner shall
grant no permit where he has good reason
to believe that the proposed procession,
parade or race will be disordery In char
acter and tend to disturb the public
peace"
The ordinance does not put Saturday
afternoons in the list of times when
parades or professions may be held SO
the Commissioner will be able 10 refuse
to grant a permit II the anarchists ask
for one. The only difficulty in that is
that the anarchists may decide not to
ask for one. declare that they are simply
marching in a funeral procession. which
is not regulated by the ordinance. and
defy the police to stop them.
II the anarchists decide to ask for a
permit they must do so before midnight
to-day. AZ the ordinance provides that all
requests must he made thirty-slx hours
before the time set for the parade.
