Enloreeil.
Buffalo, Sept. 10.—The corps of emi
nent surgeons and physicians in at
tendance upon the wounded President
to-day committed themselves without
reservation to the opinion that their pa
tient was out of danger and that there
were no complications threatening his
life.
They dicl not give assurance of his
recovery collectively over their signa
tures in an official bulletin, but they
went a long way toward it individually
and separately during the day. Each
of them, with the exception of Dr.
Rixey, who did not leave the Milburn
residence, placed himself squarely on
record, not privately to the friends of
the President, but publicly through the
agency of the press, that the danger
point had passed and that the Presi
dent would survive the attempt upon
his life.
“Of course we will all feel easier when
a week has passed,” said Dr. Mcßur
ney, the dean of the corps. "We would
like to see every door locked and dou
ble locked, but the danger from possi
ble complications is now very remote.”
As an evidence of the supreme faith
he holds. Dr. Mcßurney, after the
morning consultation, made a trip to
Niagara Falls, and this evening re
turned to New York. He could reach
here again in ten hours if the unex
pected should happen. and there
should be a change for the worse. The
little piece of lead in the muscles of
the back is giving the physicians no
concern whatever. Unless It should
prove troublesome to the President la
ter on he will probably carry this grim
souvenir of the anarchist with him to
the end of his days.
The doctors that once encysted
It can do no harm. The x-ray machine
is ready for inßtant use, however, and
if there is the slightest inflammation
or pain in the vicinity of the bullet
an operation will be performed.
Exoilun of Dignitaries.
The Vice President, members of the
cabinet, Senator Hanna and other dis
tinguished friends of the President
who have remained here regard the
physicians’ report to-day as practically
conclusive and an exodus occurred,
l hey considering their presence no
lenger necessary. Vice President
Roosevelt left this evening for his
home at Oyster Bay; Senator Hanna
returned to Cleveland on business, to
be gone two days, and Controller
Dawes went back to Washington to
night. Abner McKinley, the President's
brother, will remain a few days longfer,
but his family have returned home, and
Mrs. Duncan and several other rela
tives of the President have gone. Judge
Day. long and closely associated with
the President, returned to Canton this
afternoon. The five members of the
cabinet still here will remain a few
days, rather as friends who have been
intimately associated with President
McKinley for several years, than as
public officials.
Strength of the President.
The President's physicians have been
impressed with his remarkable re
cuperative powers and the rapidity of
his improvement. Ordinarily an in
cision for such an operation as was
performed upon the chief executive
should heal within three weeks, but in
the President’s case he may be strong
enough to be moved a little sooner.
The President will be taken direct to
Washington as soon as it is safe to
move him.
Within the sick room many evidences
of the President's improvement were
apparent. The President himself be
gan to show confidence in his ability
to care for himself and from
time to time he would carefully turn
himself and gain a more restful posi
tion. Yesterday he took the precau
tion to ask if he might be permitted
to move, but to-day he changed his
Position of his own volition, without
difficulty. The nurses naturally ob
served with care these evidences of
the growing strength and courage and
were ready to see that there was no
undue tax on the President's strength
or the straining of the the wound.
These slight movements from side to
side are all that he has attempted thus
far, and it is too early yet to think of
his sitting up in bed or any other
marked used of his muscles.
Tukex Nourishment Nntnrnliy.
A most important development of the
day was the private determination
reached among those in charge of the
case that food should be administered
to the patient to-morrow by the mouth.
Not since the shooting has a morsel of
food been given to the President by
natural means, but the drain on his
system has been met by dissolved foods
administered by injection. This has
been a period of four days of fasting
from ordinary means of nourishment,
and to-morrow will be the fifth day.
The importance of this feeding by the
mouth is that it will retsore the nor
mal action of the stomach for the first
time since that organ had both Its
walls peirced by a bullet. The doctors
are satisfied that the time has come
m renew these normul "functions, and
the four days which have elapsed since
the wounds In the stomach were closed
give every assurance that the sutures
are sufficiently healed to allow nature
to resume her sway.
Although the hduse was fairly em
bowered with flowers to-day, sent as
tokens of sympathy and gratitude,
none of the sweet scented blossoms
was taken .to the President's chamber,
the most rigid system of simplicity
Prevails there, and sentiment Is not
allowed to qualify the sterh require
ments of the case. The only persons
admitted to the sick room to-day other
than the doctors and attendants were
jlatemnal) fßoTititt® ffcto£
Mrs. McKinley and Secretary Cortel
you.
Every Precaution Observed.
Although the President has been pro
nounced out of danger no member of
the cabinet has yet been within the
sick room, nor has the Vice President
or those closest to the confidence of
the President, such as Senator Hanna
and Judge Day, seen the President.
But these restrictions established by
the doctors are merely for the sake of
encouraging every particle of energy
in the patient, and relatives and
friends alike accept the rigorous policy
as decidedly for the best. Secretary
Cortelyou sees the President as much
as the doctors and nurses do. There Is
never a breath of business, public or
private, and at no time has there been
the slightest reference to anything
connected with the President’s duties.
The departure of Dr. Mcßurney led
to expressions of pleasure from those
within the household that the delibera
tions of so many eminent doctors had
been marked by complete unanimity.
There has been no division in the coun
cils at any time; each has loyally sec
onded the efforts of the others, and ail
have joined in carrying out the master
ly work done by Dr. Mann immediately
following the shooting. In referring to
this to-day one of the President's as
sociates who was present at the opera
tion said Dr. Mann displayed his con
summate skill and calmness by going
about the operation as if the patient
was a child with a slight complaint.
And yet Dr. Mann has since told a
friend that when he realized the duty
before him, although he had perform
ed hundreds of operations of laporat
omy. he would have sacrificed all he
possessed to have escaped the responsi
bility of operating upcAi the President
of (he United States.
The dramatic phase of the situation
here is rapidlv disappearing. Plans
overthrown by the assassin's bullet are
being restored and matters are rapidly
assuming normal conditions. Indiana,
day at the exposition, set for Fridhy
of this week, was indefinitely postponed
when the President was shot, but the
original programme was restored to
day upon the suggestion of Senator
Fairbanks, who says this course would
not have been thought of were there
any doubt of the President’s recovery.
The exposition has suffered severely in
attendance since the tragedy, and the
managers are now organizing for a
great thanksgiving celebration which
they expect not only to prove a great
card for the fair, but which they hope
will be made a day for national re
joicing.
HIS CONDITION UNCHANGED.
Result of Lost Consultation of the
Physicians.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 10. —
It was 11:20 o’clock when the physicians
emerged from the house. They had
been In consultation an hour and fifty
minutes and announced to the waiting
newspaper men that the President’s
condition was unchanged in every im
portant particular.
The length of the consultation had
created some uneasiness, and this was
somewhat increased when it was learn
ed that Dr. Mcßurney, who had intend
ed to leave for Stockbridge, Conn., at
11; 20 o’clock, had missed his train and
had decided to remain over until to
morrow night.
But the doctor himself did all he
could to dispel the idea that the change
in his plans portended anything se
rious. In fact he took occasion to an
nounce, as an additional evidence of
the improvement of the patient, that
it had been decided to begin to give
the President nourishment through the
mouth to-night instead of waiting un
til to-morrow, as had been intended.
Beef extract had been preferred. Dr.
Mcßurney announced, and it was be
ing administered asi the physicians
left.
The other physicians who listened to
Dr. Mcßurney's statement assented to
it and then all entered an automobile
and were whisked away. Immediately
afterward a storm which had been
gathering broke and for a few min
utes the rain came down in torrents.
ONE UNFAVORABLE SIGN.
Piece of President’s Coat Carried In
side the Woand.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 10. —
The following bulletin was issued by
the President's physicians at 10:30
p. m.:
"The condition of the President is
unchanged in all important particulars.
His temperature Is 100.6; pulse, 114; res
piration, 28.
“When the operation was done on
Friday last. It was noted that the bul
let had carried with it a short distance
beneath the skin a fragment of the
President's coat. This foreign mate
rial was, of course, removed, but a
slight irritation of the tissues was pro
duced, the evidence of which has ap
peared only to-night. It has been
necessary on account of the slight dis
turbance to remove a few stitches and
partially open the skin wound.
“The incident cannot give rise to
other complications, but it is commu
nicated to the public as the surgeons
in attendance wish to make their bul
letins entirely frank. In consequence
of this separation of the edges of the
surface wound the healing of the same
will be somewhat delayed. The Pres
ident Is now well enough to begin to
take nourishment by the mouth In the
form of pure beef Juice.

To Secure Extradition of Emma
Goldnia n.
Buffaio, Sept. 10.—The Buffalo police
have made no request for the extradi
tion of Emma Goldman, under arrest
in Chicago on suspicion o( complicity
In the plot to murder President Mc-
Kinley. Superintendent of Bollce Bull
and District Attorney Penney have had
a couple of consultations on the sub
ject since the news of the woman's ar
rest reached them, but It is evident
that they have not finally decided up
on a course of action.
They want to give the fhlcago police
department time to make a thorough
investigation at that end. with tjie
supposed confederate of Czolgosz in
their custody, and they are anxious
that the recovery of President McKin
ley Is pdsitively certain before they go
into court. They have N>n foot an in
vestigation aimed at showing the Gold
man woman was an accessory and ap
parently want more time. There does
not seem to be any doubt that when
the time comes, a showing sufficient to
warrant the extradition of the woman
will be forthcoming. , —i

Won’t Tolerate the Attendance of
Detectives.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 10.—
Vice President Roosevelt left the city
to-night at 9:50 o'clock for Oyster Bay
perfectly confident that the President
will recover. So confident was he, In
fact, that when a question of doubt
was put to him he answered It with
a parry. He was asked:
"Do you remember that President
Garfield progressed for ten days and
that then just when he was ready to
get out, he collapsed and finally died?"
Quick as thought the Vice President
answered:
“Ah! but you forget twenty years of
modern surgery, of progress. From
what I can learn also the Garfield
wound was much more serious than
the wound of President McKinley. I
believe that the President will recover
and I believe it so thoroughly that I
leave here to-night.”
Mr. Roosevelt read with eagerness
the early dispatch from the Milburn
residence, telling of the Presidgnt’s
improved condition. When he had fin
ished he clapped his hands joyously
and with tears in his eyes, said to Mr.
Wilcox, his host:
"There! Did’nt I tell you God
would'nt let such a noble man die by
an assassin’s bullet?”
After breakfast Mr. Wilcox an
nounced that the Vice President had
been urged in view of the President’s
improving condition to utilize his last
day in seeing some of the Pan-Ameri
can exposition, notably the government
building. The Vice President declined
the invitation with some little vehe
mence.
He said:
“I do not believe, even though I apn
assured of the President’s convales
cence, that ft would be entirely proper
for me to takf part in any of the fes
tivities. I have studiously refrained
from going out or being entertained
during my visit and I will continue that
policy until I leave. I came here abso
lutely as a matter of duty, both to the
President and to the people, not for
pleasure.”
When the Vice President stepped out
to the sidewalk to go to the Milburn
House a secret service detective step
ped up alongside of him. He turned
around when he found the man follow
ing him and said:
"I do not want you to follow me. I
don’t need anyone and I am not
afraid."
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
President’s Condition Not in tire
Least Critleal.
Milburn Hoube, Buffalo, Sept. 10.—
Late to-night there was a slight scare
at the Milburn residence, caused by the
protracted visit of the consulting phy
sicians, who remained almost two
hours, and this was increased by the
announcement in the official bulletin
issued before midnight that a slight Ir
ritation of the exterior wound, discov
ered only to-night, had necessitated the
opening of a few stitches of the wound.
But the most positive assurances
were given that the only effect might
be to delay slightly the , healing of
wound. The Irritation was not In any
way the result even of a suggestion of
blood poisoning; the physicians de
clared over their own signatures that
it could not result In complications.
The opening of the wound was in no
sense an operation. Several of the
stitches were simply taken out and aft
er a thorough antiseptic washing of
the inflamed tissue the wound was
again sewed up.
No anaesthetics were necessary. Con
siderable delay was caused by the
fact that a certain dressing desired by
the surgeons was not in the house, and
it was necessary to send into the city
for it. The first time the messenger
returned he did not have what was
wanted and he had to make another
trip.
After the bulletin was issued Secre
tary Cortelyou and Mr. Milburn came
to the press tent to dispel any
alarm that might have arisen
with positive assurances of the
unimportance of the Incident. Secretary
Cortelyou announced that there would
not be another consultation until
morning. After this all was quiet at
the Milburn house. Dr. Rixey and
Dr. Wasden remained on duty through
out the night.
ATLANTA WILL CELEBRATE.
Big Jubilee far Recovery of Presi
dent to Take Place There.
Atlanta, Sept. 10— Atlanta will cele
brate the recovery of President Me-.
Kinley. The Idea was suggested to
night at a meeting of the Fifth Regi
ment officers, that in the event of the
President's recovery, Atlanta would
hold a big jubilee, the biggest thing of
the kind ever held in the South.
The following committee was named
to take the matter up with the City
Council, the Chamber of Commerce,
Confederate Veterans, Sons of Vete
rans, G. A. R.. and other organizations:
Col. Park Woodward, Capt. George M.
Hope, Capt. Joseph F. O’Neill, Capt.
Harry W. Anderson and Maj. W. W.
Barker.
This Is the first step of the kind thus
far taken In the United States and
was based on the favorable dispatches
as to President McKinley’s condition
received to-night, t
MOVEMENTS OF CZOLGOSZ.
Buffalo Police Tracing Tlieiu From
Time He Reached That City.
Buffalo, Sept. 10.—A number of wit
nesses supposed to have knowledge of
the movements of Czolgosz after he
came to Buffalo were brought lo police
headquarters this morning by local de
tectives to be questioned by Supt. Bull
and District Attorney Penney. The po
lice declined to give the names of the
witnesses or to tell what information
had been gained from them. District
Attorney Penney would only say that
he knew several witnesses had been
brought in and that he had been asked
to come down and examine them.
The police continue to work on their
first theory, that there was an ex
tended and carefully planned plot to
kill the President, and the Inquiry Is
being pressed energetically along that
line In every city where there are cir
cles of anarchists. The New York and
Paterson departments are watching
the anarchists of those two cities,
while at Chicago, Cleveland and De
troit there are men on the trail of the
prisoner. The secret service bureau at
Washington is co-operating, with
every one of its operatives who can be
used. That the plot has not yet been
revealed or the identity of the prin
cipals established the police them
selmes admit.
Czolgosz has been examined by Drs.
F. S. Crego and Joseph Fowler, spe
cialists on mental dlsordat, who were
called In by District Attorney Penney.
They talked with and took a series of
careful measurements of his head. It
Is understood that they are convinced
that he is perfectly sane. There has
never been any doubt on the part of
the police on the subject, but they wish
to be fortified against such a plea In
his defense when the case comes to
trial.
UNDER FEDERAL STATUTES.
Csulgosz Might Be Reached if Con
spiracy is Shown.
Washington, Sept. 10.—Attorney Gen
eral Knox returned from Buffalo to
day and almost Immediately sent for
Solictor General Richards, with whom
he had an* hour's conference on the
subject of the possibility of reaching
Czlogosz under the federal laws.
Sections 5,508 and 5.509 of the revised
statutes were carefully gone over and
the conclusion was reached that If a
conspiracy could be shown these two
sections might be made tq apply.
The only advantage, however, that
could be gained would be in the length
of the term of imprisonmen that
Czolgosz might be made to serve. Un
der these sections ten years’ imprison
ment is the maximum term, but no
time allowance can be made for good
behavior as in the state of New York.
TEXAS LEGISLATURE ACTS.
Expresses to President and Mm. Mc-
Kinley the State’s Sympathy.
Austin, Tex., Sept. 10.—The Texas
House of Representatives to-day
adopted a resolution extending to Pres
ident and Mrs. McKinley the deepest
sympathy of the people of Texas in
their affleition. The resolution was tele
graphed to Secretary Cortelyou at
Buffalo.
A special committee has reported' a
resolution to the House recommending
that all states in the Union enact and
enforce the most stringent laws with
a/view to the complete suppression of
anarchism In this county. The Con
gress of the United States Is petitioned
to enact such additional Immigration
laws as will prevent the landing in this
country of the crimin# elements ot
other nations.
NOT UNDER AMERICAN FLAG.
Those Tainted With Anarchy Not
Worthy of Its Protection.
Roanoke, Va., Sept. 10.—At an enthu
siastic and largely attended mass meet
ing of citizens at Bristol, Tenn., to
night, resolutions were adopted to the
effect that neither anarchy no those
who sympathize with Its vile doctrines
should live under the American flag.
The resolution calls on Congress to en
act legislation to make the teachings
and acts of such people punishable by
death.
Congressman Rhea, In discussing the
resolution, said that he would go fur
ther and advocate that the anarchists
now living In this country should be
deported, and that hereafter no person
tainted with such ideas should be per
mitted to land on American soil.

Chicago, Sept. 10.—Emma Goldman,
the anarchist queen, under whose red
banner Leon Czolgosz claims he stands,
whose words he claims fired his heart
and his brain to attempt the assassi
nation of the President, was arrested
here shortly before noon to-day.
She disclaimed all but the slightest
acquaintance with the President's as
sailant; she denied absolutely that she
or anarchists she knew were Implicated
in any plot to kill the President. She
said she believed Czolgosz acted en
tirely on his own responsibility, and
that he never claimed to have been in
spired by her, as he is quoted as af
firming.
The President, she averred, with a
yawn, was an insignificant being to
her, a mere human atom whose life oi
death was a matter of supreme Indif
ference to her or to any anarchist.
Czolgosz's act was foolish, yet she de
clared it probably had Its Inspiration
in the misery which the Pole had seen
about him. Violence, she said, was not
a tenet In the faith of the anarchist
and she had not advocated it in Cleve
land, where Czolgosz has said he heard
her, nor elsewhere.
Miss Goldman arrived here Saturday
morning from St. Louis. Her immunity
from arrest while In the Missouri me
tropolis and up to to-day in Chicago
afforded her much amusement. She told
in sentences punctuated with laughter
of her capture to-day. In her conver
sation with reporters—and she talked
with them at length twice during the
day---the excitement she was laboring
under was suppressed and only once
did she break down completely. That
was when Capt. Schuettler led her
from the office of Chief of Police
O’Neill to the cab which was wait
lag to convey her to the women’s an
nex at the Harrison street police sta
tion: a moment she became a wo
man pure and simple and cried. In a
moment, however, this exhibition of
distress was over and when she put
her foot on the step to mount into the
carriage she was again Emma Gold
man, the "high priestess of anarchy,”
as she has been styled by her follow
ers.
She said her purpose In coming here
has been to assist the anarchists who
were arrested here several days ago.
She had intended to give herself up to
the police, but delayed it fordone rea
son and another, until the police she
had derided so much had taken the
matter in their own hands.
“Csolgoss Is n Fool.”
"What did you think when you
heard that an attempt to kill the Presi
dent had been made?” the woman
was asked.
With a wave of her hands, she an
swered, disdainfully:
“I thought. Oh the fool!”
The prisoner’s manner had been
growing more and more excited, al
though she made an evident effort to
control herself. In this she finally suc
ceeded and launched into a discourse
on the teachings of anarchy. She de
clared that anarchy did not teach men
to do the act which has made Czol
gosz despised and hated the world over.
"We work against the system, and
education lb our watchword,” she said.
"It was early last July when I came
to Chicago to visit the Isaaks family,"
she continued. In answer to Interroga
tions concerning her whereabouts re
cently. "On the night of July 12
Isaaks was out of the house. The bell
rang and I went to the door. The man,,
whom I learn through the newspapers
was Czolgosz, stood there. He wanted
to see me. I was about to catch the
Nickel Plate train, as Mr. Isaaks'
daughter and I were about to go to
Rochester. He "went alone to the Rock
Island depot, where he met us, but I
was so busy taking leave of my friends
that I scarcely noticed him. It was
not a time when one would make new
friends. At the depot I had the few
words with him of which I have told.
That was all there ever was between
us.”
"I am an anarchist—a student of
socialism: but nothing In anything I
ever said to Leon Czolgosz knowingly
would have led him to do the act which
staitled everybody Friday.”
"Not even In your lectures? He says
your words set his brain on fire,” ask
ed the interviewer.
Mlhooiislrued Her Words.
“Am I accountable because some
crackbrained person put a wrong con
struction on my words? Leon Czol
gosz. I am convinced, planned the deed
unaided and entirely alone. There is
no anarchist ring which would help
him. There may be anarchists who
would murder, but there are also men
in every walk of life who sometimes
feel the Impulse to kill. I do not know
surely, but 1 think Czolgosz was one of
those downtrodden men who see all the
misery which the rich Inflict upon the
poor; who think of It, who brood over
it, and then, in despair resolve to
strike a great blow, as they think, for
the good of their fellowmen. But that
is not anarchy. Czolgosz (the woman
pronounced the name with the greatest
case) —Czolgosz may have been In
spired by me; but if he was, he took
the wrong way of showing It.”
The anarchistic lecturer wore a white
shirt waist of fine material, a dark
blue cheviot skirt, patent leather boots
and a straw hat encircled by a dotted
veil. She took a chair In the middle
of the room and faced the little group
of inquisitors with an air of confidence.
Beside her sat Capt. Schuettler, broad
shouldered and quiet. In front of her
were the chief of police and Mayor
Harrison. Capt. Colleran stood back In
a corner with Fire Chief Musham.
When the Interview XSZS. over Capt.
Colleran, chief of detectives, served a
warrant on Miss Goldman, charging
her with conspiracy to murder the
President. The warrant was sworn to
by Capt. Colleran. It gives as her
co-conspirators Abraham Isaaks, Mau-
rice Isaaks, Clemence Pfeutzer, Hip
polyte Havel. Henry Travaglio, Alfred
Schneider, Julia Meichame, Marie
Isaaks and Marie Isaaks, Jr. All but
Miss Goldman were arrested some days
ago. The women were allowed to go,
but the men were held without ball
and are now in Jail.
Can't Be Extradited.
It is the opinion of several lawyers
that Miss Goldman cannot be extradit
ed for trial In New York unless she
and Czolgosz are charged with an of
fense under the federal statutes. The
suggestion that the would-be assassin
must be tried under the state laws of
New York for assault with intent to
kill would.it is said,preclude the possi
bility of Miss Goldma’s being extradit
ed as an accessory before the fact, be
cause her alleged Incendiary statements
were not made in New York and she
Is not a fugitive from justice from that
state. It is said, however, that she
and Czolgosz might be charged with an
offense under Section 5508 of the Fed
eral Statutes, which fixes a ten-year
term of Imprisonment and a $5,000 fine
for two or more persons who conspire
to injure any citizen in the exercise of
any right secured him by the consti
tution and the laws of the United
States. The enforcement of this stat
ute against Miss Goldman and Czol
gosz would, it is said, permit of the
former's extradition from any state.
Miss Goldman will be taken before a
magistrate to-morrow. It Is expected
that the city will ask for a contin
uance of the case pending advices from
Buffalo.
“I shall insist upon an ' tmmedlate
hearing,” she said, In speaking of the
probability of a postponement being
af ked by the city prosecutor.
"They want me to go to New York
without requisition papers; but I will
not go. I know the legal ropos, and I'll
make them fight every step. And I'm
not afraid to go at that.”
C. J. Norris, at whose home Miss
Goldman was captured, was arrested
later. Miss Goldman was taken from
the chief’s office to the woman's annex
of the Harrison street station, where
she will spend the kght. Her arrest
was accomplished on a request sent to
the various police chiefs of the country
from Buffalo. Chief O'Neill telegraphed
Chief Bull of his capture.
Charles G. Norris, at whose home
Miss Goldman was taken Into custody,
is not the type of man generally asso
ciated with the word "anarchist.” He
is well built, good looking, neat and
well dressed, and is decidedlj* intelli
gent. He has no occupation at present,
but has been a clerk and was recently
in the insurance business. He is a Ca
nadian by birth, but has become a citi
zen of this county.
When questioned by one of the police
officers Norris disclaimed any knowl
edge of any plot to assassinate the
President and said he knew nothing
whatever of Czolgosz. When asked
'how Miss Goldman came to be an in
mate of his place he replied that he
had on a previous occasion invited her
to make her home there whenever she
was In Chicago.
Thonulit She Would Snrrender.
"When she came to your house this
time did you know she wus wanted by
the pqllce?” demanded Chief O’Neill.
"Yes.”
"Then why did you not ipform the
police?”
"Well, she said when she came to
the house that she had come here to
surrender herself to the Chicago police,
and I supposed she would do so when
she got ready.”
“Don’t you know,” asked the chief,
“that she was not going to surrender
to the police at all? Don't you know
she was preparing to leave Chicago?”
"No, I don't,” was the reply. “She
told me she was going to give herself
up and I had no reason to doubt her.”
"1 don’t believe one word he says,”
said Chief O’Neill as Norris was led
away. "The woman was preparing to
run away, as we can positively show,
and, of course, this fellow must have
known about It. I shall hold him in
custody and have him indicted for con
spiracy to kill the President.”
Later in the day Miss Goldman was
Interviewed in the woman’s annex at
the police station by an Associated
Press representative and a stenograph
ic report taken. Miss Goldman said:
Police Helping Anarchism.
"I feel sure that the police are help
ing; more than I could do In ten years.
They are making more anarchists than
the most prominent people connected
with the anarchist cause could make
In ten years. If they will only continue
I shall be very grateful: they will save
me lots of work."
"What do you think of your own ar
rest?” she was asked.
"If I told you/’ she replied, "it "Would
look somewhat conceited and I cer
tainly would not like to be guilty of
that. Not only my arrest, but the
others smack of the Haymarket. The
police are very much In disrepute all
over the country and they wish to do
something to clear themselves. They
are trying to make It an anarchist
plot: If they wish to make up a case
they may succeed."
"What man In the Uinetd States, In
your opinion, Is of sufficient promi
nence to warrant such a plot?” she
was asked.
“I am not in position to say,” replied
Miss Goldman, "who ought to be kill
ed. The monopolists and the wealthy
of this country are responsible for the
existence of a Czolgosz. If Imperial
ism would not grow in this country; if
the liberties of the people were not
trampled under foot, there would have
been no violence."
Referring to the would-be assassin,
Miss Goldman said:
"I feel that the man Is one of those
unfortunates who has been driven by
despair and misery to commit the
deed. I feel very deeply with him as
an individual, as I would feel with
anybody who suffers. If I had means
I would help him as much as I could;
I would see that he had counsel and
that justice was done him.”
Although the whole world awaited
Friday afternoon for the bulletins from
the President’s bedside. Miss Goldman
did not care enough about the report
that he had been shot, which she heard
newsboys shouting, to buy a paper. It
was Saturday noon before her interest
was sufficiently aroused to buy a news
paper containing the story. She was
more interested In the arrest of the
Chicago anarchists than In the Presi
dent's condition.
Asked if she thought Czolgosz’s act
was praiseworthy from her point of
view, she answered:
“I am hot in a position to say
whether it was good or bad. It is bad
for the man who attempted to do It. I
am not in his boots und know nothing
about It. What I don't see Is why they
should make more fuss over the Presi
dent than anybody else. All men are
born equal.”

Washington, Sept. 10— Richard
Parker, the Georgia colored man who
grappled with the President's assassin
at Buffalo, promises to become a na
tional character. In administration cir
cles here, Parker’s timely Interference
Is believed to have prevented Czolgosz
from further use of his deadly weapon
and there is talk of rewarding Parker
with an appointment in the govern
ment service. In the meantime, Parker
Is realizing financially upon his pres
ent notoriety, as will be seen by the
following dispatch In the Star this af
ternoon, from a special correspondent
at Buffalo:
"James Parker, the big negro who
participated In the struggle with Pres
ident McKinley’s assailant In the Tem
ple of Music, Immediately after the
shots had been fired, has capitalized
his fame. Parker Is a waiter and has
been employed on the exposition
grounds. He is of colossal build, tall,
brffad-shouldered, massive-llmbeft. and
of great muscular development and
strength.
Ihe details of the shooting as re
lated by Parker were thrilling. He viv
idly portrayed the struggles with Czol
gosz, and told how the assassin sank to
the floor under the blows rained on
him. Admiration for Parker grew as
his experiences and his story Increased.
Eventually some of the listeners be
came enthusiastic, and when Parker
told how he seized the anarchist and
bore him down and banged him on the
floor and leaped upon him. and crushed
him beneath the weight of his chest
and stomach, an enthusiast pushed for
ward and begged for a piece of the
waistcoat, which Parker wore, and
against which the anarchist had
pressed when Parker leaped on him.
Parker gave the man a piece, of his
waistcoat. Then another and another
and another of those standing by
watching wanted pieces as souvenirs.
Finally a man begged a button from
the waistcoat, and it was cut off with
a knife. Then another man offered a
quarter for a button.
“I'll give $1 for one of the buttons,”
said a man. He got a button*. Then
another did likewise. If Parker had
been twenty feet tall, with a waistcoat
reaching from his chin to his toes,
with buttons on It every Inch of
the way, the supply would
not have been sufficient
for the demand. A woman conceived
the whim that she must have the neck
tie that Parker wore, while another
woman wanted a lock of his hair.
"Parker laughed and said that he
feared he could not give her a lock, but
he might be willing to spare a kink.
Eventually this craze for clothes be
longing to the big negro became so
pronounced that two men appeared
and wanted to buy the shoes that
Parker wore, because it was said that
with them he had kicked Czlogosz and
had stamped on his face. The price
offered for each shoe was $5 and one
of the men remarked that he would
have given $25 If necessary, and that
he would have given SI,OOO If Parker or
any one else had stamped the life out
of Czolgosz without stopping to think
about his shoes."

quarters consisting of two small rooms,

Emma, a handsome mulatto, with
a strong vein of Indian blood running
through her veins, is the only surviv
ing daughter of James Parker, the
father of the plucky negro who flung
himself on the would-be assassin of
President McKinley and prevented him
from doing further injury.
. To a Morning News correspondent
some interesting details concerning the
antecedents of Parker, who made him
self famous by his defense of the Presi
dent, were related by the mother and
daughter. The mother is a widow, and
although old and feeble, has been
obliged to work out as a housemaid
since losing her comfortable home by
fire. She Is now living An West For

“While I am the stepmother o' James

fellow, makes him very dear to me,
