Special to the indianapolis Journal.
PITIsBURG, July 25.-A sensation second
only to the attempted assassination of
Chairman Frick was caused here to-day
when 1t became known that the police had
located q most of Anarchists here as
dangerous and as threatening to society
as the "redsp of Chicago, who worshiped
at the shrine OF Spies. Parsons and Lingg.
That Alexander Bergman was IN direct
communication with them is now ascer-
tanned to q certainty, and to trace his con-
nections with the blatant Herr Most and
his followers In New York is the cause of
Chief O'Mara's sudden departure yester-
day.
The police authorizes are convinced to-
night that the attempted assassination was
an anarchistic plot that may be as great in
SCOPE as any yet unearthed In this coun-
try. They have the names Of number of
persons IN New. York, Long Branch,
Hoboken and other places whom they
think we're implicated. and kilograms
have been sent to have them ar
rested. Until they are in custody
the names will not be made public, as the
police fear the publication would defeat
the ends of justice. Inspector McKelvey
said they might be able to show that Herr
Most was interested in the affair. A number
of arrests will probably be made tomorrow.
HI. b. Bauer, who has been the distributor
of aHarchistic literature in this section
since the death of Herr Friok, has disap.
peared. The police are looking for him.
and if he can be found he will be arrested.
A report was in circulation at Allegheny,
to-day. that the local Anarchists were
holding meeting ut hall on East street.
The purpose of the meeting was to take
steps looking to the defense of BerRman,
Areportcr made tour of the locality
where the meeting was reported to be In
progress. but failed to discover any one In
sympathy with Bergman. No meeting OF
any character was held in that locality M
to late hour this evening, or none that
could be discovered.
CHARGES AGAINST BERGMAN.
Bergman. the Anarchist who attempted to
assassinate H. c. Frick Saturday. will not
be permitted to escape with the punish
ment of seven years in prison, provided
for . single case of felonious assault. Six
informations were made against him
this evening. charging him with
offenses under which he can receive
sentences aggregating thirty-three years
IN the pcnitentinry. The formal lnforma-
tions were made before Alderman James
MoMasters. by Secretary Lovcjoy. of the
Carnegie Steel Company, limited, at 9
o'clock this evening. Three are for felonious
assault and three for entering building

assault.
Two of the informations are for assault

BERGMAN's BAIL $4,000.
The alderman fixed next Saturday as

Warden McAieese is taking extra precau-
uons to prevent Bergman harming himself
OF his fell0w-prlsoners. or attempting to
escape While he does not consider that
there is any danger. he says 1t was deem ed
| advisable to watch the accused closely.
A wild rumor was IN circulation during
the day that several friends of Bergman
arrived in Pittsburg from Chicago last
| night. armed with dynamite bombs, and
| that an attempt would be made to pass
| some of the explosives in to the prisoner.
| The Jail authorities do not take much
