Officers Force a Cartridge Out of
Berkman's Mouth.
PITTsBURG, July 29.-At o'clock the
prisoner was taken to the gymnasium
in the station yard to be photographed.
Seated in the chair, the only action of
the young man that indicated any ner-
yousness was a peculiar movement
of his jaws. This aroused the
suspicion of Police Surgeon Moy-
er, who afterward made a
search, and found small shell in the
prisoners mouth. The desperate man
refused to open his mouth. and it was
necessary to choke him till he was
black in the face before he would give
the shell up. 1t ives taken to the es-
ta3lishment of Arthur Kirk & Sons,
where it was pronounced to be dyna
mite cartridge of the same kind used
by Lingg, the Chicago anarchist. to kill
himself. 1t was considered miracle
that Berkman was DOT blown up.
Berkmar is still in the central station
tonight. All attempts to interview him
have been unavailing. A charge of fel-
onlous assault and battery was pre-
ferred against him by Superintendent
of Police OMera, and he will be sent to
jail for trial in the morning. The police
authorities say bail will be refused if it
should be offered. On his way to the
central station several persons said
they recognized him to be member of
the anarchist circle of Allegheny. which
has recently been addressed by Herr

ties,

Homestead. Notices OF postpOnement
were distributed early 10y the officers,
who deemed it wise to prevent any hot
headed talk just at present. A mass
meeting under the auspices OF the
strikers which was to be held at Du-
Quesne was also done away with in
advance by the promoters.
Expressions Of opinion as to the effect
of the Frick affair upon the outcome Of
the strike were almost unanimous this
evening among the men themselves,
the militia and the townspeople that 1t
could not be other than damaging, and
for this reason, if for no other, it was
deplored by the'workmen.
Just before midnight tonight the adj
visOry board, through Chairman Craw-
ford, gave out the following statement:
At Il regular meeting of the advisory
board of Homestead. Pa. the following res
olutions were formulated and passed:

York with the evident intention of re-
moving the man who has been the
principal on the employers side in the
great struggle now going on between
capital and labor in this vicinity.
1t was a few minutes before O'Clock
this afternoon when a dark-compleX-
1oned young man with Jewish cast of
countenance, of medium height and
fairly well dressed. entered the elevator
in the Chronicle-Telegraph building,
which is occupied by the Carnegie Steel
company. and asked to be let off at Mr..

muscles On the left side of the neck and
passed around to lodgment under the
right ear, where it was later reached by
the probe. At this instand Mr.. Leish-

assassin and wrestled for the possession

weapon and turned the pistol upw ara

man, who was holding his assailant by
the shoulder and body. Mr.. Frick saw
the CLEAN of the steel. and although
staggered by the shock of his wounds
and bleeding profuSely. he jumped be-
tween the men and seized the mans
arm. The latter freed himself from
Leishman's grasp and plunged the dag
ger into Frick's right side just above
the hip, making an ugly wound three
inches long.
He made another lunge, and this time
the knife struck higher up, but the
point struck a rib and glanced down
without infiicting much of an injury.
Twice again was the knife thrust at
Friek, but he was merely scratched at
these last attempts to kill him. The
struggle was IN full view of those on
the street.
By this time the Office boys and
Deputy Sheriff May, who just entered
the office as the first shot was fired,
threw themselves upon the assassin.
May had drawn his revolver and was
about to shoot the fellow in the back,
when Frick cried out, Don't kill him.
We have got him all right.
Leave Him to the Laws
The man broke away and tried to
escape, but was secured and taken to
the central police station. The prompt
action of Mr. Frick saved the lives of
Mr.. Leishman and his self-appointed
executioner. In five minutes half
dozen surgeons were at hand. Mr..
Frick was told to lie down on lounge,

During all this time the wounded man
was calm; had perfect command of his
faculties. and apparently was less eX-
cited than any other person In the room.
From time to time he made suggestions
as TO how badly he was hurt, and
half-hour after the shooting dictated
message to Andrew Carnegie about the
assault, in which he told him that he
thought he would be all right. At
his request all communication
with his residence was shut Off
and his brOther-in-law was sent to
inform his wife Of his illness and to re-
assure her. She gave birth to a son ten
days ago, and is still confined to her
room. She was greatly distressed, but
bore herself bravely when told that
there was no apparent danger. She
sent her sister. Miss Chids, to the Office
with instructions to return at once and
inform her of Mr.. Frick's actual condi-

In the meanwhile Mr.. Frick was re-

New YORK. July 29.-If the man
who is locked up in Pittsburg jail for

Frick, of the Carnegie Steel works, is
Alexander Derkman, formerly of this
city, lie is an anarchist of the most rad
ical style.
About six years ago Berkman came

come prominent as leader among the
anarchists here, he made himself con-

against capitalists, and it is said that he
attempted to organize a grOnp for the
express purpose of gong about the
country to eXterminate capitalists. In
description, he is thin and insigniti-
cant little man with small dark mus
tache, who wears glasses.
The police advance the theory that
Berkman was simply an agent of; the
anarchists here and was sent by them
to Pttsburg for the express purpose of
killing Mr.. Frick. 1t was said at police

BERKMAN EXECRATED.
Police Restrain the Mob-Answer-

PITTsBURG, June 23.--The news of
the attempted assassination spread like
wildfire, and in five minutes after the
shooting Fifth avenue, from Market
to Wood streets, was black with people,
and the greatest indignation was ex-
pressed at the cowardly deed. When
the fellow was brought out of the build
ing by the police officers, to be taken to
the Central station. cries were heard of
"Shoot him now:" some grOWled Let
him have what he gave Frick," while
better element stepped forward and
helped keep the assassin from mob vio-
lence.
A large crowd followed the patrol
wagon containing the prisoner to the
central police station, and when the
lookup was reached the police were
compelled to shut the gates in order to
keep out the people. The prisoner was
pale and so much exhausted from eX-
citement that he could not answer the
usual questions for several minutes.
He was taken back into the cell deprrt-
ment, and Inspector McKelvy put him
into cell. When the prisoner recov-

M'GILL MEN JUBILATE.
After Congratulations, a Permar
ent Republican Club Is Formed


ent Republican Club Is Formed.
The Central McGill club held its last
meeting under that name last night at
Central hall, but it resolved to perpet-
uate its organization under the name Of
the Ramsey County Republican Central
club. The meeting last night was well
attended and the enthusiasm over the
result of the primaries was great.
The assembled gentlemen put in
a couple of hours in conversation and
mutual congratulations, after which the
meeting was formally called to order by
President Gen. Mark d. Flower, who
stated that he had promised a McGill
victory in the county at the former
meeting, and he then had the pleasure
of announcing that his prediction mad
been realized, and that "McGill had
county," He then advocated
perpetuation of the organization under
a new name. At the conclusion of
his speech Gen. Flower was heartily
applauded.
A report of the result of the primar-
les was then called for by wards. The
delegation from the First ward came in
while the report was in progress. 1t
consisted of the delegates-elect, and
was applauded as the fifteen delegates
filed into the hall. This ward reported
that there was no contest. The McGlll
men had gone over the ward looking
for fight, but had been unable 10 stir
up any opposition, and the result was a
solid delegation of fifteen votes for Nc
Gill.
The Second ward reported divided
delegation of six for McGill and six un-
pledged or opposition delegates.
Gen. Seeley reported that there had
been lively contest in the Third ward,
which had resulted in clear majority
of fifty-five for the McGlll delegates.
The opposition had run seven buses
and kept them busy, while the McGill
men used only two. Mr.. Williams had
authorized him to say that if it had not
been for trickery the McGill delegates
would have had fifty more of a majority.
A man named Mckinney, who is Nd
Gill adherent, employs fifty men. Some
opposition men had gone to Mckinney
and told him that they were for McGill

McGill has carried Ramsey county
and will have entire control of tomor-
rows convention. The primaries last
evening went Off much as was pre-
dicted by the GLOBE during the last few
days and resulted in the complete over
throw of the men who have been at
tempting to do something in secret and
nnder false pretenseS, which they knew
could not be done in fair and open
fight The McGill men were the only
ones who had the nerve to declare for
an open fight and they carried the day
and will have things all their own way
tomorrow. They were claiming as high
as IS out of the Ia delegates elected in
the various wards of the city last
evening, but this claim is rather
larger than the facts will
Justify. A conservative estimate gives
Gov. McGill 66 delegates to 80 for Ives
and Is for Nelson, with s SvoteS from the
Ontside districts to hear from. OF these
Gov. McGill certainly has five, thus
bringing his strength up to II out of
total of 122
The result of last evenings contest is
significant in more respects than one.
In the First ward. for example, the Nc
Gill ticket was unoppOsed, although the
Nelson men made strenuous efforts to
get up ticket and contest the ward.
The fact that this ward is largely Scan
dinavian, at least nine out of every ten
Republicans in it being of that nation
ality, shows that Mr.. Nelson's candi-
dacy does not awake that degree of ell
thuSiasm the bosses would like to see
and have been predicting all along.
The greatest blunder Of the Ives,
and one that cost their man many
votes, was the impression that was
abroad that the Ives and Nelson men
had combined in behalf of uninStructed
delegates. There was SO strong a feel
ing against Mr.. Nelson that many men
voted for the Sage OF st. Anthony Park
simply to prevent the Little Nor
wegian getting any votes from this
county. The Ives men deny that the
uninstructed delegates which they sup
ported generally would have given Mr..
Nelson anything, and claim that there
is really deal ON between Nelson aud
McGill, and that the thirty votes of
Ramsey in the state convention will be
cast for Nelson. This is absurd, and
the Ives men are entitled to
the credit of having made the
worst blunder possible in their
management of the st. Peter mans
campaign. They had popular candi-
date. and had they put forward tickets
in all the wards as they did in the
Third, Sixth and Eighth, andi made
straight fight for them, things might
have ended differently.
AS the situations stands at present
Gov. McGill has demonstrated good
fighting qualities and the possession of
a strong personal following in st. Paul.
A fair estimate of the strength of the
three candidates, as far as the delegates
chosen last evening are concerned, fol-
lows:

EASY TO GET AT.
Frick Took No Precautions for
Safety.

Flick Took No Precautions for
Safety.
PITTSBURG, July 23.-Berkman has
undoubtedly beenin the city some time.
He called at Carnegie's Office Thurs
day and asked for Mr.. Bosworth, an
employe. but the latter was out at the
time. On Friday lie called again and
inquired for Mr.. Frick, but he was also
absent. This morning he returned
again and handed his card to the Office
boy, who took it in to Mr.. Frick. On
the card was written, "a. Berkman.
agent NewYork Employment company"
Mr.. Frick said he would see him in a
few minutes. Berkman appeared nerv-
Gus, and after standing around for
short time, suddenly wheeled about and
went out. He was seen lounging about
the street door during the day, and he
evidently intended to make tile attack
as MIR. Frick was entering the building.
MIR. Frck is at all times one of the
most approachable men i'll the city, and
since the recent labor troubles he has
not changed in the slightest in this re-
spect. He seldom refuses an audience
to any one, and never declines to see
visitor who has any business to transact
with him, no matter how small matter
it may be. Mr.. Frick has never had
guards to protect his person. as was at
one time enormously stated, and goes
to and from his residence at all times
unaccompanied by any protective force.
AT No. AZ Fifth avenue, where his Of
fees are situated, Eo precautions had
been taken against such an occurrence
as that of today. Mr.. Frick's private
office was separated from the corridor
by swinging door and a small railing
only, and he did not think 1t necessary
to keep anyone on guard there. Mr..
Frck might be seen at all hours in the
building going along through the hall
ways and in the elevators. and it was
this quiet assurance OF safety that ell
abled Berkman to make his desperate
attempt against MIR. Frck's life today.
A remarkable fact i'll connection with
the attempt on Mr.. Frick's life was that
a number of men who by their dress
and general manner showed themselves
to be mill workers looked perfectly
aghast, aud one was heard to say: My
God, this kills our cause forever"
