DEFiiNDS ANARCHY

Philadelphia Leader Makes Address in Chicago. an Speaker Saiis She Is Opposed to rente and Her Belief Stands Tor noble Ideals. Anarchist Paper Restored to me Mails. Chicago, Nov. 12 Voltairine de Cleyre, the leader of the anarchistic community of Philadelphia, last night addressed 600 persons of her belief at Brand's hall. Her address was the cli- . max of the celebration of the fourteenth anniversary of the execution of the Chicago anarchists. Though Mayor Harrison had been petitioned by the anti-anarchistic society, Republic; the German -American Edncational association of the Northwest. Side, and the Washington Literary society of Avondale to prevent Miss de Clyde from delivering her address, no effort was made by the police to interfere with the meeting. The presence of detectives from the Chicago avenue station may have made an effect on the speaker, who in duced applause without arousing her hearers to excitement. Miss de Cleyre said that when she first read in the newspapers of the Haymarket riot she said the men who committed the act should be hanged. But later she began to investigate and saw that injustice had been done to these men, because their only offense had been to expound the rights of tha people. She began to question the people of the government and lost all faith in law. Christianity was not practiced, she declared, except by those who are so good that the church is forced to excommunicate them and anarchism did not mean force but noole ideals, which, though distant, had more hope for the common people than any govern ment had ever accomplished for their freedom. Two wreaths, one of which was from the Happy Home anarchist community at Flagler, Colo., and a floral tablet bearing the names of twenty-nine anarch istic societies, were placed on the graves of the execufea anarchists at Waldheim last Sunday by a committee of twelve, headed by Wm. Urban and Mrs. Lucy Parsons. The niacins: of the floral tributes was performed without any speech-making. , The anarchists chief paper in Chicago, Free Society, has been restored to second-class privileges in the mails. This announcement has been received by Postmaster Coyne, and Editor Abraham Issak, exulting over his final-victory, has lost no time in sending out his publication at the former low rates. The decision from Washington came as a surprise to the local officials. Thy had waited over a month for a ruling, and because of the delay they expected that the paper was to be barred from the mails. The case was referred to ..the third assistant postmaster general after the October" issue had appeared with several artici iL.i a 1 1 i . y m tuai were inougni 10 oe in cendiary. Use of second-class rates was denied temporarily to Editor Isaak, and be was compelled then to fill out an appli- ' cation for re-entry of his paper at the former rate. Beckham Denounces Durbin. Frankfokt, Ky Nov. 12 Governor Beckham last night addressed to Governor Durbin of Indiana a letter replying to the criticism by that executive . of the courts and officials of Ken tucky in his recent letter refusing to honor the requisitions for Taylor and Finley, wanted for alleged complicity in 'the assassination of Governor Goebel. He severely arraigns Durbin for his refusal charging that m doing

so ne violated hi? oath of office to support the constitution of the United States, and that he became 'a party after the fact to the most infamous crime in the history of this state, the coldblooded and dastardly murder of an eminent and distinguished citizen of Kentucky." The Kentucky executive also charges J)urbin's action in refusing was the result of a political bargain made before his election to office, and characterizes his charges against the courts and officials of Kentucky as slanderous and inexcusable misrepresentations. Be takes the stand that the Governor of a state has no discretionary powers, but only ministerial power in the honoring of legally drawn requisitions from other states, and this is taken here as an indication that steps will shortly be taken in the courts to compel Durbin by mandamus to honor the recmisitions. If

such nroceedinss are instituted thev will be in the courts of Indiana and taken on appeal to the Supremo court. HELD FOR MURDER. Army Recruitina Officer Confesses to Insurance Fraud. Louisville. Kw.

Encampment at this city instead of at Indianapolis has been definitely decided upon. The city was voted the honor of entertaining the G. A. R. last May, but owing to the dedication of the state soldiers monument at Indianapolis at the same time it was proposed to transfer the encampment to Indianapolis. Last week the officers of the state G. A. R. met with Maj. May post and members of the local Commercial club and urged the change, promising Anderson the encampment next year. Members of the local committee, to whom the matter was referred, have decided not to yield the point and will insist that the en campment be held here in May, as originally intended.

Carter, now a convict in the government prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and formerly a captain in the United States engineering corps, is to have a rehearing in a civil tribunal. He now has the assurance of the government authorities that all the evidence is to be reyiewed again before Judge Kohlsaat in the United States circuit court, in this city, the hearing to take place, probably, in a few months. Carter will be called on as a witness in his own behalf and for the purpose of testifying in court he will be released temporarily from his Place of confinement.

EDITORS SENTENCED

Judge Hanccy Sentences Employes of Chicago American for Contempt. Defendants Apteal to Judge Dunne and Arguments Will Be Heurd Tomorrow Morning. Chicago, Nov. 13 Andrew M. Lawrence, managing editor of Hearst's Chicago American, and H. S. Canfield, reporter, were sentenced to serve terms of forty and thirty days, respectively, in the county jail for contempt of court by Judge Hanecy yesterday, and S. S. Carvalho, financial manager, andj J. C. Hammond, assistant city editor, were discharged. That is, Judge Hanecy gave an oral verdict to that effect from the bench, but he did not sign the commitment to jail, and so the case is not disposed of. The defendants escaped spending last night in jail by securing bail from Judge Dunne under habeas corpus proceedings. Incidentally Judge Hanecy administered a scathing rebuke from the bench to Clarence S. Darrow and Adolph Kraus, attorneys for the American, whom he accused of juggling with the processess of his court in applying for a habeas corpus writ before their clients had been committed to jail, and, privately, he administered a similar rebuke to Deputy Sheriff W. C. Lawson. A clash of authority between Judge Hanecy and Judge Dunne was prevented by Judge Hanecy's refusal to sign the commitment after a writ of habeas corpus had been issued by Judge Dunne. The argument on the writ will be heard tomorrow morniug, and Judge Hanecy may in the meantime sign the commitment sending Lawrence and Canfield to jail. The blunder made by the American's attorneys in securing the writ of habeas corpus before their clients had been committed to jail led to many complicafns and, asaregiflk ii appeared for ä time as if the men would spend the nisrht in iail. Onlv the clemency of Judge Dunne straightened out the legal tangle in which the attorneys had involved themselves and promised to confer with Judge Hanecy, so that both could act without fear of causing any conflct real or apparent. Judge Hanecy gave his opinion in the case yesterday morning after disposing of the usual business of the court. Judge Hanecy's decision is sweeping in effect, and holds that a newspaper cannot comment on any case until after the term of court in which it is triad without being held accountable the court for its comments. It concludes as follows. 4The articles in question were not merely an attack upon this court or the presiding judge, but were of a graver nature, They are a bold threat and a defiant statement to every other court that' may have to do with any case that this newspaper or its managers may be interested in, that such a case must be determined and decided as the newspaper or its managers dictate, or the court or judge who does not do so must submit to such attacks as were made in this case. "The questicms here involved are of much more importance tc the people than " to this court or the presiding judge. They - are vital to the welfare and perpet uity of our institutions. If such attacks are admitted and allowed to go unpunished the judicial de partment of our government cannot long survive; and when it falls the whole, structure of our government will go with it. If each disappointed or defeated litigant can go out of court and assail the court and the judge as was done here, how long can our judicial system survive
