here have sold out to the /. w. WIS.
They won't arrest them. l demand
that you send policemen who will"
Urban was told to report to the cap
tain in charge. He went back to his
stand, saw the policemen still busy
with the crowd, and then began to
rail. I am confident that l use his
words accurately for have my own
notes, made on the ground, and
saw the words duly set down after
wards in a complaint before the
Magistrates court.
Don't mind those copsm was what
Urban yelled. Flight them, my boys.
Hold your ground. They dasen't fight
you. They are towards. Don't move
when they tell you to. Hold your
ground"
Urban was taken in for a felony
charge. That language was a little
worse than any radical had been &C.
cused of using.
The radicals left the square that
night Observation-Disclosures because
Urban had been arrested. It became
a great moment in radical history.
Could Urban be punished in the
Magistrates courts, as they had been
punished? They had said he couldn't
even be arrested. They had to con-
TESS themselves fooled. But they
pointed out the German name of the
police captain. They said they were
sure he had made mistake, and that
when it came to the Magistrates, the
old machine would be at work; that
there would be no justice for Ur-
ban-no sentence anything like the
sentences their members had received.
Urban, being up on felony charge,
languished over night in cell. And
while the radical elements of the
community waited for the results a
magistrate reduced the charge and let
him off with a ten-dollar fine There
was some comment about special pleas
made in his behalf.
There came the day when Bouck
White was arrested and with him, for
disturbing the services at the Calvary
Baptist church, were arrested others
who made an cutlery in the church.
Magistrate Campbell, who recently
was the target for bomb, heard
White and gave him six months.
Now as it happened the radicals had
no use for White. He had turned
them down when they wanted men to
join Arthur Caron in front of the
Rockefeller offices in Broadway.
But with White there came to be
tried and sentenced by Magistrate
Campbell two other men. One was
named Hubbell, and the other Wool
man.
Hubbell came to the bar.
my name is Hubbell" he said, land
l am Baptist. live out of town. l
was at the Church that morning as a
visitor. saw the detectives bouncing
upon White and l cried out Shame,
Shame l thought it was an unchris-
tian thing to do"
Woolman came to the bar:
II went to the church out of curl
osity to see how White was received"
he said, "and when they bounced on
him I picked up the bible and read
aloud to my wife, who was with me,
II say unto you, it is harder for a
rich man to enter the Kingdom of
Heaven than for camel to pass
through the eye of a needle"
Magistrate Campbell dismissed Hub
bell. Woolman the Magistrate recog-
nized as young man who had been a
witness before him in the trial Of the
Tannenbaum army of church visitors
of the previous winter. The sentence
was six months. 1t was the only SEN
tence, except suspended sentences,
which Magistrate Campbell passed
upon any of those, save White, who
had been in Whites expedition.
1 saw the ferment of the White
and Woolman sentences in the radical
crowd.
"Woolman got it for being one of
us" was the idea that settled down in
their minds.
There you have the lines Of hatred.
Magistrate Campbell has expressed
the idea that he was the target for a
bomb from one of Bouck Whites fol-
lowers. White has expressed his SYM
pathy, publicly, with Magistrate Camp
bell, following the lines of his own
field of thought. BUT THE WOOL
MAN SENTENCE AND ITS CON-
TRAsT WITH THE HUBBELL SEN
TENCE PASSED OUT SIMULTA-
NEOUSLY was quite overlooked by
Magistrate Campbell, and indeed by
most of those seeking to name q cause
for the dynamiting.
Now to go back bit into the his
tory of modern violence. Just before
Ferrer was executed in Spain, at
tended, as a reporter, meeting of
Catholic laymen. The heads of the
church in New York were on the
stand in the college building north
