archist societies of this city are greatly
excited over what they believe to he "a
huge conspiracy of the police against
them. A short time ago Detective Charles
was arrested and fined for All
alleged unwarranted assault oil a man at
a socialistic meeting. Several socialists
took the matter mp and demanded Nor
drums dismissal. 1t il claimed now that
the detective went to one of those in-
terested in the prosecution to purchase
leniency and proposed To give up inforrna-
ton concerning the operations of the
police and to show that IA certain sup
posed champion of the anarchist cause
was really i'm the pay of the police for the
purpose of creating by wild utterances IA
popular prejudice. Ii is claimed now that

All this evidence was laid before the
mayor and the result was an order issued
to-day suspending Norlrum pending am
investigation into his alleged treachery.
The mayor and police officials refuse to
talk OH the subject.
