Not at all.  The actual quote is

  The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man
  falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.

The Iroquois fire was unfortunately all too real.

As soon as the US entered WW I the first amendment basically went out the 
window with the Espionage Act.  Schenck was part of that.
