CLOSE WATCH ON ANARCHISTS.
An Important Arrest May BE Made in Con-
nection with the Frick Shooting.

An Important Arrest May BE Made in Con-
nection With the Trick shooting.
New YORK, July 25.-Inspector Steers,
on the strength of despatch from the
Chief of Police of Pittsburg, asking him
exander Berkmann, assailant of H. G.
Frick, detailed two detectives to the
special duty of mingling among the anar-
chists on the East side of this city.
1t is possible the detectives may make
an important arrest.
Berkmann was a printers apprentice
when he arrived in this country several
years ago In Vienna he was associated
with Joseph Peukert, an Austrian, who
has posed as a rabid anarchist for many
years in different parts of the world
Berkmann was of late years one of his
most devoted pupils.
Berkmann secured job as compositor
in John Most's office at No. 1877 William
street, in the spring of this year Up to
that time he had worked at odd Jobs all
over the country.
That he had travelled great deal was
shown bv his talk to his associates and
friends.
Most kept Berkmann from April until
July 4. Then he discharged him for in
competency. Since then Berkmann has
been doing nothing, but is said to have
been drinking a good deal.
Just when Berkmann left New York on
his errand of assassination was not to be
learned here to-day. Possibly the errand
suggested itself to him at the mass meet
ing of Socialists at Union Square on July
II, when resolutions were passed demand
ing that Mr.. Frick be tried and executed
without leaving the trial jury any discre-
tion in the matter.

pRuMMEn OUT oE CAMP.
Severe Punishment Of a Soldier Who
Cheered Berkmann.

PTTsBURe, July 25-Ths sensation of
the camp yesterday was the drumming
out of town of Private Iams, Of Company
@, Tenth Regiment, who shouted when
the report of the attempted assassination
Of Mr.. Frick reached the Provisional Brig
ade for three cheers for the assassin.
Col. Streator, from his quarters, heard
the incendiary shout He hurried into
camp and ordered the regiment to be
paraded in double-quick time
When his command was drawn up he
recited to the soldiers the remark he had
heard.
81 heard the voice distinctly" the Colo
mel said: 81 think / recognized, and
want the man who made the statement to
advance two PAGES"
The Colonel had recognized Iams' voice.
and he was standing directly in front Of
the accused when he was talking.
Immediately Private Iams stepped to the
front. He was tembling like an aspen
leaf and he seemed unable to hold his gun.
you offered three cheers for the killing
of W. Frick, did you notp the Colonel
asked. aaissSTs sas,sssa
lalns didn't answer, but he hung his
head and nodded in the Alternatives he
was ordered to the guardhouse. The Colo
mel and his staff, including the surgeon,
then went to the guardhouse.
The officer Of the day took charge of the
culprit and at the ColonePs orders he was
hung up by the thumbs for thirty minutes.
The surgeons remained with the unfor-
tunate during all his punishment One Of
them kept watch on his pulse, while an
other looked after his heart, and at the
end of thirty minutes Surgeon Neff Or
dered him taken down.
When released young Iams was limp
and apparently unconscious. The sur
geons remained with him for another hour,
when he was taken to his quarters.
Yesterday one side of his head was
shaved and one side of his beard and mus
tache cut off, and his uniform was taken
from him.
A civilians dress was given him and he
was then given in charge of twenty men
and drum corps and marched out of
town mile and half to the tune Of the
"Rogue's March"
The guards were given strict orders in
his presence to shoot him if he turned to
the right or left
He was also disfranchised and will here
after be "a man without a country"
The punishment, although severe, is in
accord with law passed i n 1887, and is
generally commended.
Iams is a travelling salesman and lives
in Waynesburgh.

HE WORKED FOR MOST.
A Man Named Berkman Was Formerly
Employed BY the Anarchist.

Employed BY the Anarchist.
New YORK, July 25.-Nothing is ap-
parently known at the office of the Typo
graphical Unions in this city regarding
the identity of the man who shot Mr..
Frick
Secretary Ferguson, of Typographical
Union No. 9, said that no such name as
Alexander Berkman or Bauman was to
be found on their roll.
John Feierabend, Secretary of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of Typographical
Union No. 274, generally known as the
German Union No. 7, made a similar
statement as to his organization. A mem
ber Of the Union who was in the Office
said that he had known an Anarchist
named Berkman who was hanger-on
around printing offices in Chicago about
the time Of the Haymarket trouble, but
he did not know his first name.
Peter j. Bannigan, President Of the
Pressman's Union No. g. said he knew no
such man, nor does either Berkman or
Bauman appear on the roll of the Adams
and Cylinder Press Printers Association
At the office of John Most's "Freiheit"
1t was said that over year ago a young
man named Berkman worked there as a
sort of an apprentice. He seldom made
more than IS or 50 a week, and he was an
avowed Anarchist of the most violent
type. He was an "Individualist Anarch-
ist," and not Socialist Anarchist" and
as suchhe did not get on well with some
of his associates on the "Freheit." His
name appeared on the payroll for the last
time ON July 4, 1891.

MAY GET ouT TO-DAY.
Believed That O'Donnen Was Kept In
Jail to Ayers Trouble.


PITTsBURG, July 20. - The action Of
Judge Magee in Withholding his decision
in the application for bail for Hugh
ODonnell, and in keeping the strike leader
in Jail over Sunday was very likely a wise
move.
There is little doubt that O'Donnell
will be released, but the officials believing
that if he was liberated on Saturday
evening when the case closed and the
workmen at Homestead should carry
out their programme of his reception,
while the excitement over the attempted
assassination of Mr.. Frick was yet so in
tense, an encounter between the work
men and the militia would surely occur
O'Donnell was seen in Jail to-day by a
reporter. He expressed the greatest re-
gret for the shooting of Mr.. Frick, and
said that he hoped his wounds would not
prove serious.
When told that the news of the shoot
ing had been received by some of the
workmen at Homestead with undisguised
expressions of approval, Mr. CDonnell
said: my God, is it possible that any
one can rejoice over such terrible deed
as this"

Frick's splendid constitution is standing
him in good stead. Very few men, so say
the doctors, could have survived for many
hours the terrible injuries which he re-
ceived at the hands of the Russian Anarch-
ist, to say nothing of the loss of blood and
the shock TO the nervous system. Yet he
passed good day and night, notwith-

The tablespoon was again brought into
play and after some difficulty a dynamite
cartridge, similar TO the one found in his
vest pocket, was taken from beneath his
tongue. II was at once submitted to
Arthur Kirk, an expert on explosives,
who pronounced it the identical kind of
bomb cartridge used by Louis Lingg the
Chicago Anarchist when he committed
suicide in the county Jail while awaiting
execution for completely in the Haymarket
massacre.
1t contained enough dynamite, he said,
not only to blow the man exploding it to
pieces, but to kill or MAIN those in his
immediate vicinity, and it was supposed
to explode from the prick of a pin or the
bite of tooth
Some imperfection in its manufacture,
however, had made it of no effect.
After this report had been received it
was remembered that the elevator man in
the Carnegie building had noticed the
prisoner nervously moving his teeth after
the tragedy and that he was also noticed
to be grinding his molars after being
brought to the Central Station.
From this it appeared to be clearly evi-
dent that it was the prisoners intention
after killing or manning his victim to
blow his own head off and he was only
prevented by defect in the cartridge
from carrying out this design.
He was given a suit Of prison clothes in
place of his own garments and shortly
afterwards was identified by the night
clerk of the Merchants Hotel as having
stopped at that place under the name of
Simon Backman. The straw hat which
he wore bore the label of Marquellis, No
10 Stanton street, New York city.
When supper was served him he asked
for a knife and fork, but was told that
prisoners were refused the use of those
things. He then disposed of the food
with avidity.

A guard has been placed at his cell

Among the strikers at the Union Mills
and at Duquesne, as well as at Braddock,
the news of the shooting was re-
ceived with expressions of regret.
A proclamation signed by Sheriff Nc
| Cleary commanding order and obedience
to the law has been posted at Duquesne
and deputy sheriffs have also been placed
in charge of Carnegie's plant. troop of
cavalry has arrived from Homestead and
| its appearance created considerable bitter
ness and angry talk on the part Of the
| strikers.
The fact that Herr Most was in this city
couple of weeks ago and made several
addresses is regarded by many people as
significant in view of the fact that Most
recognized his former employe as having
been with him in his New York Office.
1t is also suggested in some quarters
that the events of Saturday might be
associated with Hugh ODonnells recent
trip to New York, but by the great ma
jority of people this was secuted at as
something more than absurd.
