(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.

United States would not decline If it
were asked to have the matter settled
by mediation or arbitration in The

One of the difficulties of the case,
however, la that the "honor" of Japan
has been declared by Japan to be in

of the category of arbitrable cases, un
less Japan should waive that point.

Why not have what you need and pay for it at your convenience? Perhaps you think the

make your estimates and you will find that there is but little difference between the cash and
credit prices -only enough to pay for the use of the money. If yon call, yon will find that this

Toklo. March 7. Th Chines minis
ter had a long conference with Baron

ing which the contention that the har
bor of Macao was under Chinese lurla-

shown to be untenable, as Germany
malntalna absolute Jurisdiction in Klao

Wei, although both of these harbora
are held under the same term as the
Portuguese hold Macao.
An official of the foreign office was
authority for the stateroeht today that
Japan had no desire to resort to force
unless compelled to do so by some ac
tion of China in connection with the
Tatsu affair. It was also atated that
no hasty action will be taken, and that
the request of Tuan bhl Kai that, the
time for consideration of the Japanese
demands be extended will also be
granted.
The same official said there was
every reason to believe that an amic
able a-reement would finally be ar

Eilers Piano House. Exhibit Lat
est Achievement of the Victor
Company.
Etlers Piano House, the Oldest and
largest piano and Talking Machlno
dealers in the northwest, have on exhi
bition in their store the latest achieve
ment of the Victor Talking Machine.
It Is a Talking Machine without a
horn. This new style Instrument Is a
big step in the advancement of the Talk
ing Machine. The rendition of famous
bands, solos by operatlo stars, etc, are
duplicated with marvelous fidelity.
There is no scratching, grating noise,
simply a pure and exact duplication of
the original selection.
All those who have been fortunate
enough to hear It are enthuslnstlc In
their descriptions. Yesterday afternoon
several well known local musicians
could not believe that a Talking Ma
chine waa In operation, so perfect
were the reproductions. A cordial In
vitation is extended to every one to
hear this new invention at the Eilers
store, sis Washington, st-, - corner of

If the Chinese authorities have de

The sending of the ultimatum has
lessened the chances of war. Among
the conservatives, however, it Is hoped
that some way out of the dilemma may
b reached. Japan's expressed desire
to avoid compllcaions, If possible, has
given encouragement to those who hold
to the peace view.
Japan announces her willingness to
wait a "reasonable time" for an answer.
Just what this means no one knows,
but it is argued no objection can be

more day Is taken to consider. China'
honor Is also at stake. Resistance to
