stitutional right Of free speech.
Threats of murder and of assassina-
ton are frequently made in speeches.
The anarchists have never had fuller
sweep in their scope Of murderous en-
deavor in any country OF in any city
than they are now being given in New
York zs.
That Alexander BerknIan 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 CAN'T, follow
er of the anarchists, openly declar-
ed, with multitude of vicious adjec-
tives, that she would kill John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., and went so far as to
seek the young millionaire in his own
office and attack him. She is the head
of the flying squadron of anarchy
known as the RED Angels" The po-
lice consider her dangerous. She never
ceases to talk
Officers are anxious to use their
heavy clubs. They know what it is to
deal with anarchists. The youngest of
them have heard of the Haymarket
riots in Chicago. In March, 1908, in
New York, the Haymarket reprisals
came near being reproduced when
Selig Silverstein threw bomb into
the police ranks The bomb was poor
~ made, and it exploded in his own
hand, killing him and wounding the
people about him. He had a card in
his pocket. a card with the signature
of Alexander Berkman. vouching for
him as an anarchist.
The cops are not at all in sympathy
with the policy of watchful waiting.
Moreover. they are puzzled by this
new turn of anarchistic strategy-the
employment of women in the game of
murder
Marie Gantz is only a private in the
ranks. but she hopes to become cor
poral soon. If she succeeds she will

is her ambition, and her lifes story
veriieS the statement. Marie studied
anarchy under Emma Goldman She
w;S the most eager Of the students Of
the red queen. She is young. bit in
t.!ined to fat. lazy physically and some
what frowsy. for the ladies of Emma's
school do not take much time about
their toilet. She is twenty three years
IT age and was born in Austria, the
most aristocratic country in the world
perhaps. She says that she is a sales
woman. and she has sold goods, be-
ginning with sausages to delicatessen
dealers and ending with the selling of
Mother Earth and other magazines that

Sweet Marie. is an ir0nic alias. The
cops gave her the name because of her
foul tongue She uses profanity as an
,spert. No longshoreman could give
Marie points in anathema. Curses rip
rle from her lips
The cause of this unprecedented up
ileaval is attributed to the tragedies re-
sulting from the mine strike in Colora-
do. when thirty lives were lost in bat
ties between strikers and guards.
Protests are being made against John
d. Rockefeller, Jr.'s. assertion that
the mine owners would not recognize
the unions. The young man has been
bounded since he appeared before a
congressional investigating COMMITTEES
and made statements to which the an
archists objected. 8
One of the features Of the demon
STATIONS was the daily appearance OF
..mourners" In front OF his Offices, each
wearing a Grape band around his or

ers who died In the coalfelds while
standing up for their rights, they said.
