WALLOWA IS NO ANTI. (HBlted Press Letted Wire.) Chicago, March 7. Emma Gold man' efforts to rout a hall for to night, in which to deliver an ad dress on "Anarchism and Its Rela tion to Panics," were thwarted by the police. Th high priestess or anarchy sent members of the Edel- stadt group and Sunrise circle to a number of owners of theatres and balls and offered $250 for the use of tbe building tonight. In every case the proprietors refused. In an ntervlew the queen of tbe Reds said: "The police hare terrorised the whole city of Chicago. The constl- utlonal privilege of free speech Is . dead-letter In America." She de clares she will speak tomorrow at tbe "social science" meeting In Ma sonic temple. The organization has lease on a ball and tbe owners of the building cannot prevent the meeting. Acting Chief of Police Schuettler will not try to stop the anarchist leader from addressing the circle. He) Is of tbe opinion that tbe private meetings are within their constitu tional rights as citizens of tbe Uni ted States. He is equally sure tbe police power extends to prohibition of publlo meetings that are a men ace to tbe peace of the community. The relatives of Lazarus Arer bnch have demanded an Inquest on bis body. They deny that he was an anarchist or attempted to take tbe life of Chief of Police Shippy. Cor oner Hoffmann haa continued tbe inquest indefinitely. The date will be left to the police. It is thought that tbe bearing will take plaoe upon the recovery of Harry Shippy, the chief's son, who was shot. : lllSIfe ilifll M Mf i i iiLt ai s iu'ui sisr a i ar 'wiiii sssi mi -v. .jar i i , nr in j ui :,n if- ar ar m. a -aav k fa. ar ta .ar- . . n ar i j -mm . . v -s r . i to M L.T r-U.. m -rn H , I. ,t i HI W t li I II LI I fl I 1 I I sasaaa I frtP II 1 If 11 I II M l' H I ,11 I' JIT -i:WMU MM 111' " 'Hr H HKi ' , T3Je rf 1 I' t.
