WASHINGTON. d. c.. Sept. 29.-wnen
shown a cabIegram from Vienna today
regarding the anarchists plot there a
Chicago official. who is in the city, said
Il was well known to the Chicago Sc
cret service police that the anarchists
OF Vienna, Paris and London were IN
constant communication with those Of
New York and Chicago. A plot similar
TO that discovered by the police in vi
emma was unearthed In Chicago a year
and a half ago. but nothing was said
about II for fear II might create a dyna-
mite scare and injure the worlds fair.
The reds We're arranging TO blow up
the city hall at Chicago, and at the
same time TO blow up several buildings
at the worlds fair. Maj. william Nc
Claughry. who was at that time superin-
tendent OF the Chicago police, learned
of the affair. and by vigilant action
nipped II In the bud. One OF his secret
service men attended a number OF the
meetings in Clybourne-ave. and another
group was covered by another officer in
w. Lake-st. At the latter place a wo-
man, fanatical on the subject OF anarch-
ism, volunteered to enter the council
chambers during meeting OF Chica-
go's common council and discharge a
dynamite bomb. She said she was will
ing TO sacrifice her own life for the good
OF the cause. IL by so doing she could
destroy the much-hated city fathers. At
the Clybourne-aye. meeting, which was
acting in concert with the one on w.
Lake-st., the plot was being arranged
to blow up. the. worlds fair build
ings. When Superintendent McClaughry
learned or these he put on an extra force
of detectives and a number Of the lead
ers were brought to his Office. He told
them he knew there were fanatics among
them willing 70 sacrifice their lives for
what they believed to be the good of
mankind.
Now" said McClaughry. 'if there Is
any dynamite throwing by any Of you,
we Will pay little attention to them,
but will arrest. every one of you leaders
and agitators, and a bigger hanging
than ever occurred before in Chicago will
follow" This plain talk, continued the
Official had the desired effect and the
reds became less active.
Among the mass Of information gath
cred at that time were letters from
Partisan anarchists, which led TO the
discovery that the bombs used by
Ravachol in Paris were furnished by
the anarchists of Chicago. AS a result
Maj. McClaughry opened communication
with M. Loze. who was then project OF
police CT Paris. A sort of compact was
then formed between NJ. Loze, Superin-
tendent of Police Byrne Of New York,
the chief of the Scotland Yards serv-
ice and Maj. McClaughry. 1t was ar
ranged that whenever any OF the an
archist agitators left Paris for London,
New York or Chicago NJ. Loze was TO
cable the fact TO the police of the port
TO which the red was going, so that
he could be watched. Each OF the be-
aforementioned cities was to do the
same for Paris, and in this way the an
archists were to be kept under sur
veillance. 1t was by this compact that
Maj. McClaughry was notified OF the
fact that the Chicago anarchists had
arranged TO bring Krapoling the Russian
anarchist OF London, to Chicago and he
was enabled 10 prevent his coming.
In conclusion. the official from Chicago
said that Hampstead Washburne, who
was then mayor, found 1t necessary 10
have a detective secreted about his
house on Aston place for several months
during his term in office, on account OF
the threats made by the anarchists to
blow IL up.
