one hundred lives at the French capital

France 1t is claimed that while the off,
cial inquiry into the circumstances sur
rounding the catastrophe threw little light
on the cause of the fire the secret service
department is working on a clew that points
to an Anarchist conspiracy of stupendous
magnitude. It is said that the Paris de-
tectives have not only satisfied themselves
that Anarchists were at the bottom of the
awful crime but that the leaders who
planned it fed to America as soon as they
had seen with what frightful success 1t

to be authority for the story.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-The officials of
the French embassy here refuse to lmpart
information concerning any connection that
the Anarchists may have had with the hol-
ocaust of the early part of May. Mr.. Lee
faivre, the first secretary or the embassy,
said tonight that there had been no com
munication received from his government
looking to the apprehension of the alleged
leaders or the outrage WHO, II 10 Sellu nay e
fled to America. This, he thinks would
have been the case had it been believed
such persons were engaged in the affair and
had fed to this country. Mr.. Lefaivre was
in Paris at the time of the disaster and
remained there for several days Imme-
diatelv afterwards there were limitations
in some of the newspapers attributing the
catastrophe to anarchistic sources, but
publications of that character soon ceased
