GIRL TRIES TO SHOOT ROCKEFELLER, BLAMING HIM FOR THE MINE WAR




At John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s house in New York a number of persons were arrested for performing the "mourning march of the free silence movement" for the slain in the Colorado mine war.

"Beautiful Marie" Ganz, a companion of Alexander Berkman, the anarchist who shot H.C. Frick, invaded John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s. office, New York, and threatened to shoot him if he did not settle the mine war. She was ejected and was mobbed in Bowling Green, where she tried to make a speech.
