VOL. XVI. EMMA GOLDMW. "Queen of Anatcnls?r," Arrested In Chicago SHE 18 kNOlFFLRENT She Says Ch<* Ko- ws N xhfrg About the Aisa?$in cr A? asslna'ion of thi President. Emma Goldman, tho anarchist queoD, J 1 ' ' unuor wnoso rcu banner l^eon Czolgosz olaims ho stands, whoso words ho olaims fired his heart and his brain to attompt tho assassination of the president, was arroBtcd in Chicago, on Wcdnoiday of laat week. Sho disolaimod all but the slighteBt acquaintance with tho president's as Bailant; aho denied absolutely that she or anaichista sho knew were implicated in any plot to kill tho president Sho said sho boliovod Czo'goaz aotoi entirely on his own responsibility an 1 that ho novor olaimcd 10 havo been inspired by hor, sb ho is quoted as affirming. Tho president, bho averrul with a yawn, was an inaignitioant boing to her, a moro human atcin whoso lifo or doath wero matters of supremo indifforcnoo to hor or to any anatchist. Czolgosz's aot was foolish, yot she doolarcd it probably had its inspiration in the misery whioh tho Polo had seen about him. Violence, flbo said, was not a tenet in tho faith of the anarohist and sho had not advooated it in Cleveland, wl oro Czolgoez h?d said ho heard her, nor olesewhore. Miss Goldman arrived in Chicago from Bt. Louis. Ilcr immunity from arrest while in tho Missouri metropolis and up to Wednesday in Chioago affoided hor muoh amusement. Sho to d, in Bontonoes punctuated with laughter of hor oapturo. In hor conversation with reporters?and sho talked with thorn at length twioo during the day? tho oxoitcmont sho was laboring under was suppressed and only onoo did sho break down oomplotoly. That was whon Captain Bohuottlor led her from tho office of Chief of Polioo O'Noill to tho N cab which was waiting to convoy hor to the womon's annex at tho Harrison street polioo station. For a moment she booamo a woman pure and simple andoriod. in a momout, however, this exhibition of distross was over and ? 1 -I. x I # - - i * * wuuu tjuu put nor root on mo srep 10 mount into tho carriage sho was again Emma Goldman, tho "high prioetessof anarchy," as sho has bcon stylod by her followers. She said her purposo in goiog to Chioago has beon to assist tho anar ohists who woro arroated thoro sovcral days ago. Sho had intendod to givo herself up to tho polioe, but delayed it, for ono reason and for another, until the polioo sho had derided so uiuoh had taken the mattor in thoirown hands. "What did you thick when vou heard that an attempt to kill tho pros): dent had boon made?" tho woman was asked. With a wave of hor hard* acd another shrug of tho shoulders sho answered disdainfully: "I thought oh, tho fool!" The prisoner's manner had boon growing more and moro excited, although sho made an evident effort to oontrol herself. In this sho finally suooeoded and launohod into adisoonrso of tho teachings of anarohy. Sho do olared that anarohy did not teach men to do tho act whioh hat mado Czoigosz despised and hated tho world over. "We work against tho system and eduoation is our watchword," sho said. "II was early last July whon I oame to Ghioago to visit tho Isaak's family, sho continued, in anbwor to an interrogation oonoorniDg hor whereabouts reoently. "On tho night of July 12, Isaak was out of tho houso. The boll rang and I wont to tho door. The man,. who 1 learn through tho newspapers was C'zolgofz, stood thoro. He wanted to seo mo. i was about to oatoh tho Nickel Plate train as 1 ami Mr. Isaaka' daughter wore about to go to Roohester. Ho wont alone to tho Rook Island depot, where he met us, but 1 was so busy taking ltavo of my friends that I soarooly notioed him. It war not a timo when one would want to make' new friends. At the depot I had the few words with him of whioh I have told. That was all thero ever was between us." "I am an anarohist?a student of sooialism; but, nothing in anything I ever said to Loon Czolgo6z knowingly would havo lod him to do tho aot whioh startled everybody Friday." "Not even in your looturos? Ho says your words set his brain on firo," askod the interviewer. "Am I aooountablo beoauso somo oraoked brain person put a wrong oonstruotion on my words? Loon Czolgotz I am oonvinoed, planned tho doed unaided and entirely alone. Thero is no anarohist ring whioh would help him. There may bo anarohists who would murder, but there also are men in every walk of lifo who somotimos fool the impulse to kill. 1 do-not know suroly, but 1 think Czolgoi z was ono of those down-trodden men who see all tho misery whioh the noh infliot upon tho poor; who think of it, who brood ovor it and then, in despair, resolvo tostriko > a great blow, as they thick, for tho good of their fellow men. Rut that is not anarohy. Czolgoi z may Lavo been inspired by me; but, if be was, ho took the wrong way of showing it." The anarohistio ieciurlr wore a white shirt-waist of fine material, a dark blue oheviot akirt, patent leather boots and a straw hat enoiroled by a dotted U'|j veil.

When the interview wan over Captain Colli ran, ohiof of doteoiivoa, servod a warrant on Mian Goldman charging hor with conspiracy to rnurdor tho presi- * dent, Tho warrant was awera to by Captain Ccllerao.

Tho ^ women woro allowed to go but tho men woro held without bail ard aor now in v jail. o Hater in tho day Miss Goldman was t interviewed in tho womon'u annex to tho polico station by an Aasooiatcd l'roea representative ai.d a stenographic v report takon. Mine Goluman aa d: t "1 feel euro that, tho poliou aio holp- c ing ua moro than 1 could do in ton j years.

"If I told you," she replied, "itwou'd look somewhat conooitod and 1 certainly would Dot liko to bo guilty of that. Not only ray arrest but tho othors smaok of t'uo llayuiarkot.

"W hatu.au iu iho United States, in youroi ioion, iB of nuflioiont prominonoo to warrant buoh a plot?" sho was asked. "I am not in poattion to say," replied MiB3 Ooldman, "who ought to bo killed. Tho monopolists and wealthy of thia country aro responsible for tho exiutonco of a Czoigotz if imperialism would not grow in tliiu country ; if tho libortioa of tho pcoplo were not tramplod ut dor foot thcro would havo boon no violcnoo." lloforring to tho would-bo assassin, Miss Goldman said: "I fool that tho man is ono of thoso uufortuuatos who havo boon drivon to despair audmiaery to oommit tho deod. 1 feel vciy doeply with him as an individual, ab 1 would fool with anybody who buffers, if i had means L would help him ae muoh as I could; I would soo that ho iiad oounsol anu that justico was dono him." Although tho wholo world awaited Friday afternoon for tho builotins from the prohidont's bosido, Miss (ioldman did not oaro enough about'tho rep >rt that ho had boon shot, which alio hoard nowsboys shouting, to buy a paper. It was Saturday noon beforo her interest was fcuffioiontly aroused to buy a newspaper containing tho story. Sho was moro interested in tho arrest of tho Chicago a':arcLius than in tho president s condition. Askid if sho thought Czolgoi z's aot was praiseworthy lrom hor point of view, bhe answered: "i am not in a poslion to say whothcr it wao good or bad.

A fall hat) bcoa takon out of ono Robert Treat Puino, of Bebtio, in a nay that merits applause and it was handed a genii; man by a man boar ng I ho inmo uamo who resides iu New York. It is oomruon in this ago of similarity of names for men to have tluir lottors mixed and it was through just such an ooourronoo that Paine. of Boston, discovered to his sorrow that thoro lived anothor Paine in Now York. It rooms tho Now York man got somo of tho Boston man's lottors, and sooiog that they wero in ondtd for another Kcult them for ward-Tith this note: "P-easo tiod oiolnsed letter openod by urn by mistake.
