DfaboIical Plot to Blow Up the NationaA
Capitol and Many Other Public Bund-
fngs. which Has Been In Course OF De-
veIopment for Weeks, Closely Watcneu
by the Government Secret Service Agents.
WASHINGTON, June 1s.-The Post TO-
day publishes an expose OF a plot winch
had for his object the blowing up OF
the capitol and perhaps other govern
ment buildings which had been slowly
developing for several weeks past
The secret service and police authorl-
ties. however, have been kept informed
of the movement of the plotters and
would have been able to thwart them
had their Vaccinations approached az
tual violence.
''Only once" says the Post. about
three weeks ago, when the channel OF
information was unexpectedly inter
rupted, were the federal and dis
trict authorities really alarmed.
They did not know at what moment
an attempt might be made to ex-
plode bombs in the capitol, the
treasury building, the White House
and the war and navy building. But
as the days passed and nothing was
done, the authorities, who had re-
doubled their vigilance, restored the line
of communication with the nest OF an
archists and were able again toshadow
every conspirator and to keep fully In
formed of anarchistic movements both
here and elsewhere"
The plot was formed at the time
Coxey's army was marching on the
capital and reports of its existence
came from various points-Omaha
Chicago and Pittsburgh among them.
1.-The prime mover in the anarchistic-
plot-that is, the Washington end OF it
was Honore jackson, professional
Indian. In Chicago he has been dis
turber for years. AT the time of the
Haymarlxet riot he narrowly escaped
being arrested as principal conspira-
tor and was Swallowed by the detec-
tives for long time after that most

Event for Universal Regret.
ENGLEwooD. N. j., June 1S.-At 1:5O
o'clock yesterday morning Hon. Will
liam Walter Phelps passed away. The
end was SO peaceful that for some min
utes after he had breathed his last, the
family who were watching at the bed
side with intense sorrow, would not
believe that the end had come. The
patient was unconscious to the end
and appeared to pass into a deep sleep.
Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Won Rotenburg
were greatly overcome by grief, but
bore up bravely. Those at the bed
side were Mrs. Phelps, Mrs Won
Rotenburg and his sons, Capt John E.
Phelps and Schoield Phelps.
The great love borne Mr.. Phelps by
the old retainers of his vast estate was
evidenced in many ways by tokens of
regret.
The remains will lie in state at tho,
family residence until Wednesday
morning, when the funeral services will
take place at the Presbyterian church
of Englewood. Henry NJ. Booth, of Au-
burn, N. Y. a former pastor of the
church here, has been requested to Of

A DRUNKEN HUSBAND

Murders His Father-in-Law, Shoots at His
Wife and Children, and Kills Himself.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, June 16.-Wm.
Henshaw, drunken painter, yesterday
morning tried to kill his wife and chill
dren, fatally shot his father-in-law. ia
cob Sutton, and then blew his own
brains out.
Mrs. Henshaw separated from her
husband on account of cruel treatment
a couple of years ago at Rock Island,
Ill, and came here to live with her
seven children. Henshaw followed
her, and has annoyed her more or less
ever since.
Recently Mrs. Henshaw instituted
divorce proceedings, and it is believed
this fact provoked yesterdays tragedy.
Henshaw went to Sutton's house IN
West street and shot the old man
twice in the head. He then crossed
the street to his wife's house and tried
to break in. Failing in this he fired
two shots at the woman and her chill
dren. and then sat down on the porch
and blew out his own brains. Sutton,
who is 70 years old, will die.
