Li VOI XXXI, XO. i POLICE DEIIOUIICED BY Called Uniformed Animals at An- archist Meeting. RUSSIA THE THEME America Compared Unfavorably to the Czar's Domain. Peepl Braided Cawrdi Who Aw Allovelaar Their Freedom Emma Goldman, anarchist leader, ll- Cresaed long enough from her attack on the Russian government, delivered at Brand's kail yesterday, to characterise the citizens tbe United States as cowards, and call In-' spector Campbell and the detail of police stationed. In the hall to see that she said noth ing incendiary, "uniformed animals." i 'TUlgia sjfcftf We United "State compared unfavorably with Russia were pointed out by the speaker.

Russia It is not like It is in this country, where a man will sell his mother, father, children, and all he has for gold," she said. "There they have bo politicians to deal with, and we know that every politician is a thief. While Russia has slept, every now and then brave individual has come out of the darkness who earned sure tor humanity than himself, and tried to strike a blow that would give Russia freedom. They all have tailed. but it is good that such unselfish men have lived." Aadleace Small sad Qalet.

The audience a hlcn greeted the well-known speaker was small, and was composea largely Jews, who sonaht' refuge from the cruelties of the government which she was denouncing. There was no uemonsixa-. tlon. No red flags were waved, and very tew red "neckties were to be seen. One young woman van a red shirt waist, and a few of the men wore red flowers on the lapels of their coats.

Despite the appearance of quiet. Inspector Campbell and a detail of police remained in v.

She then went to the bar In an adjoining room and drank two glasses of red wine, after which she walked into the hall and went from table to table greeting old friends and making new ones. When she stepped out on the stage and was introduced as the principal peaker of the meeting the crwd cheered lustily tor nearly minute. She said in part: "Russia has been asleep for twenty years waiting for the brave, fearless man, who thinks more of humanity than he does of himself, to come along and waken her. Men have tried to accomplish what we all have been hoping for, but they have failed. They have come from the aristocracy and the poor workingman and peasants did not understand what they were trying to do.

They meant well, but they were not of the common They had white hands, they never worked, and could not be trusted by the great masses. When a blow is to be struck for freedom against government, which is organised force. It must come not from the top, but from the bottom, or common people. Fallare Dae ts ArUteeraey. In Russia have failed in the past because they had white hands.

Three years ago the peasants were awakened from their long sleep. They made the first step, and since then great progress has been made. They are beginning to see their awtt miserable condition. "Freedom will not come to Russia until Its people are educated and made to understand bow much they have been wronged. The greatest danger to the government of Russia Is education and thought.

They will do more to hasten freedom than nihilism. But In a country founded on terrorism, where free speech is prohibited and a premium is put on ignorance, there Is nothing to do but fight back with terrorism. Force must be met w.h force, and that la the way the victory will be won. Itn Amerleaaa Are Citr, "Many people here will ask why I talk about Russia when we have so much to talk about at home. I will tell you.

It is not because I do not know the awful conditions hertf in America, but because you are all cowards. God pity you. but you lack courage. There is a great deal that could be done be re, but it Is not done. "America Is growing more and more like the Russian idea each year.

You are not allowed to meet and discuss questions of In-terectvto everybody without being watched by a fjt of uniformed animals. The cherished freedom of your forefathers is a dream. It is gone forever under the present sys-tem. You know the burdens yon are to bear at present. Well, I tell you theJVrlll be worse In tbe future unless action Is taken.

The American people are indifferent, That Is the only way I can account for tfte docile way in which they submit. Otherwise they would not be sold body and soul every year by the politicians. "There are many people who know that things are wroog at home, but they have not the conrage to act. Maybe they will have courage enough to help poor Russia, thousands of miles away. It Is to all lovers of freedom that I appeal.

There is too much apeeebmaking and too little action."

Suddenly there was a terrific explosion, followed quickly by-another, and then another. "These are the ammonia drums," shouted Mr.
