PITTsBURG, Pa, July 26-Anarchy in |
the United States is not dead 1t is not |
even sleeping It's high priests are just
as wide-awake, Just as venomous, and
n their ramifcations are Just as extensive,
and perhaps more so, than they have ever
been. The lesson and warning afforded
to the element by the execution of Spies
a Parsons, and their associates and by the
repeated prosecutions and convictions of
& Herr Johann Most, have failed even to
bruise the head of the transplanted mon
5 ster. Anarchy is as much thing of life
4 as ever.
So much has been evident by the at
n tempt upon the life of Henry c. Frick,
q and the subsequent developments that
& have come to the surface. The police
are naturally iubilant over the arrest of
j Carl KnOld and believe that they are now
\ on the way toward the fountain head of
| the conspiracy that eliminated in the
tragedy of Saturday last. For some time
f past the socialstic and anarchistic ele
ments of Allegheny have been keeping
under cover. and the authorities had
fiattered themselves that their vigilance
for the past two yeats had been
rewarded and that the element had
lost its desire for mischief. They have
however, been deceived, for the search
of Knold's residence last evening proved
conclusively that the circle or section or
whatever it may be called, has been CON
tinuously engaged in active propaganda
and intimately associated with other op-
ponents of free government and liberty
institutions in different parts of the
United States. In the rooms were found
vast quantities of anarchistic literature
and correspondence, indicating that an
archy was represented in the persons of
groups or individuals in New York,
Chicago, Denver and other points.
A large number of ciphers and cipher
communications which were brought TO
light Indicated the existence of a gem
eral and secret mode of communication.
One of these ciphcrs, enclosed in an en-
velope bearing a New York date ap
peared to be based upon the Hebrew
alaphebet. This seemed to dovetail in
with a second that appeared to be
simply combination of unintelligible
scrawls, and this, by figures on its back
was apparently key to third in the
form of an ingenious geOmetrical chart,
with numerous curves, each different
from the other A linen railroad map of
the United States had upon it three
marks, intended to indicate air lines be-
tween New York and Chicago, and these
we're marked at intervals with figures,
which related to cipher words on the
back.
So extensive was the supply of anarch-
istic literature found in the place as to
indicate that it must have been used as
headquarters for the distribution of this
dangerous stuff through the country.
There were numerous copies of Freedom,
n rabidly anarchistic sheet, emanating
from Chicago and edited by Lucy Par
sons. the duslSy relict of the executed
anarchist The paper was filled with
matter blood thirsty and bombastic

lists to agitate the wage question anc

letter from local anarchist. telling
Mrs. Parsons that the paper as truly ad
vocates and defends the principles o.
revolutionary communistic anarchism a.
did the Alarm, edited by her husband.
There was also bundle of anothe
Chicago anarchistic sheet, the Gasalift
printed on deep red paper, and also o

communications in German, and writer
