MORE EVIDENCE FOUND.

! Bauer's Old Pocketbook Gives Up Secrets
| of Anarchy-i Member OF the Alarm
| Club-Ihe Police Find Picture OF
| Berkman's Accomplish. T..
The search for Anarchists was kept up
yesterday, but without any more arrests
being made. Superintendent of Police
O'Mara on his return said he believed the
bulk of the evidence would be found in
Pittsburg They could not get anything
very tangible in New York and they have
about decided Most will not be arrested.
The main revelations yesterday were in
connection with Henry Bauer. He is the
slickest Anarchist of the lot, and away on
| the inner circle of all Anarchist doings the
| world over He is very rabid, and yester-
| day it was learned he had been talking a
great deal in one Of the barber shops out
| Spring Garden avenue. He declared there
| he had sufficient dynamite to blow up the
| entire Carnegie works, and that dynamite
was the only argument that would ever set
tie the present difficulties at Homestead
Bauer has also proven to be almost as
skillful manipulation of the truth as Berk-
man, the assassin. He has said he had been
in Allegheny for year and half, but an
old pocket-book of his discovered Yesterday
tells a different tale. In it vas found a
working card in the Furniture Workers
Union No. 21 Of Pittsburg. The card was
marked good until April 1, 1886. 1t was
signed, f. Webers, Secretary.
Had Furniture Store in Allegheny.
Bauer has been in the furniture business
for himself in ALLEGHENY. The name of the
firm was Bauer & Schimpf, Chestnut and
Pike streets, Allegheny. This was found
on a business card that had the appearance
of being several years old at least. On the
reverse side was written in pencil: '173
McClure," Lawn avenue" and "Halls
Grove"
A letter of recommendation was found
from the Duquesne Furniture Company, of
Market street. Pittsburg, which said he was
a machinist and cabinet maker and had
been In their employ several years.
He also had card Of membership in the
Labor Lyceum Association, of Philadel-
phia, which was marked good until Septem-
ber 30, 1890 1t was signed 'Tatzaner, of
Peregrin Group, Financial Secretary"
This is the group of Anarchists in which
Carl Knold held card of membership.
The most significant thing was red card
in the shape of book that apparently was
the "open sesame" to any Anarchist meet
ing and was held only by those on the inner
circle. Over the top of the inner side was
the legend, "Alarm Club" The next line
was Certificate of membership for Henry
Bauer" 1t was signed by "E Koesters,
Secretary" On the lower page were four
rows of squares marked by dotted lines.
There were 13 in each line which gave one
for every week in the year. Apparently
whenever the card was presented it was
stamped with rubber stamp, "Alarm
Club" in one of the squares.
The Open Sesame of Anarchy.
There were II of these stamps on the card.
They did not all look as if they had been
made by the same stamp. Besides this there
were letters from August Spies, Nina Van
Zandt, Herr Most and others. Some of the
secret work of anarchy was also discovered.
One of the letters received by Bauer from
New South Wales Australia, under date of
March 6, 1892, shows how far-reachlng
Rauer's correspondence was: 1t was as fol-
lows:
DEAR CoMRADE-Your post card to hand
The original group which published "An-
archy" having been divided into two Sec
tions, it is not yet decided which will carry
on the paper, but when settled will inform
you. In case it be decided the other section
will publish it, we intend starting an organ
ourselves as soon as possible. Your commu-
n1cation has been forwarded to the other
group. Fraternally yours,
J. SHELLENBERe, Pro. E. W.
Paul Finster and August Pirnack, the
suspects arrested at Central station
Wednesday, were yesterday discharged, as
there was not enough evidence to hold them.
Detective Shore, who has been handling the
l. h. ;ako
badly frightened now that it is bard work
securing evidence. He declares they are all
q pack of towards.
The searches of the ALE gheny police,
based on mere descriptions, having been
futile as far as the discovery of the COM
panion of Berkman was concerned, new
method was yesterday adopted. Among the
effects OF Henry Bauer was found many
photographs of Anarchist friends These
pictures Chief Murphy yesterday showedt to
Mr. Tustin, and one of them he identified
positively as the portrait of the man who
was with Berkman on the day of assassi-
nation, July 16. The police know nothing
of the mans name. They have only his
face. Yesterday afternoon every detective
in Allegheny, after being shown the face,
was sent out into the tannery and butcher
QlbtIlCIS 10 sedrcu lOI the man. ne Was uOG
found, but those who know the tenacious
instincts of Chief Murphy feel sure that the
man will be found if he be within the pre-
cincts of that city.
The Chief is being ably assisted by Super
intendent Muth and Assistant Superin-
tendent Glenn, and last evening, after all
the special officers had returned to head |
quarters and made their reports, long con-
ference was held between Chief Murphy
and Messrs. Muth and Glenn. The results |
Of this conference will probably be seen to-
day.
Have the Members Of Group No. 2.
Yesterday the police investigated the |
story of the young man who called on Chief |
Murphy and was received as Emil Clauert. |
It was found that his correct name was Emil |
Planert. He gave to the police list of
members of the Anarchist group into which |
he was'drafted. Being . either player, he
was coaxed, he says, into singing society,
md after admission discovered that he was
! member of full-fedged Anarchist So
,iety. He says that there was
