COLORED ANARCHIST
Threatened to Blow Up Smith ~
SCOTS Tobacco Factory.

Milton Hall probably has the dis
tinction of being the only colored
anarchist in America. He is the man
who threatened to blow up Smith Il
SCOTS tobacco factory yesterday
morning because there was no work
for him.
He stated to Judge Sanders in the
police court this morning that he had
lived in Louisville ~ years, and had
worked for the Pinzel Bros. tobacco
firm at that place for 22 years as a
twister, stemmer and wrapper. He
came here a couple of weeks ago
from Cairo, and has worked at odd
jobs since he came, having helped a
day or two at Smith & SCOTS.
When he applied yesterday for
work he found that there was no en-
ployment for him, and became very
insole1t towards Mr.. b. H. Scott,
one OF the proprietors. He said lie
would blow up the whole establish
utul, duu IL ut COuluu WIN tutlt
nobody should. Mr.. Scott believed
him crazy, and had Officer Suther-
land arrest him.
Hall said today that he knew moth
ing about dynamite, and never saw
or handled piece Of it in his life.
He said when he referred to blowing
M the house, Free Mason Would
know what he meant. He also said
that women had no right to work in
tobacco factolies, aud in fact said
enough to convince Judge Sanders
his mind was unbalanced. The latter
SAID about the best disposition to
make of Hall was to have Mayor
yeiser ship him to Louisville.
Hall became very indignant when
Judge Sanders said he was crazy,
and said they'd send him to no asy-
lum, as he owned a house and lot in
Louisville, and had nothing but
sense in his head.

Joe Larkin Ia the name OF tn,
young man who Was found half dead
At Seventh and Broadway yesterday
afternoon from something like an cpl
leptic Ht. His home Il In Cincinnati,
and he was evidently drugged just
previous to his discovery, half
strangled in the gutter!
The sensational theory Of hydro
phobis, advanced by the morning
paper, is entirely absurd. Larkin
stated to the SrSltbis morning that
the only foundation for 1t was the
fact that he was bitten on the hand
by dog five years ago, and taken
to Springfield, o.. where a maidstone
was applied.
He claims TO have fallen in with a
stranger yesterday about noon. The
stranger asked him for the price OF a
meal, and he declined TO furnish hin,
with the amount, but offered to pay
for the meal, knowing that the mau
intended To spend /, for /whiskey. He
had about -, which had been paid
him by the l. &. railroad for work
done With bridge gang.
Larkin says he and the strange
man went to q restaurant, the locs
ton OF which he was unfamiliar with
being q stranger here, and ordereC
dinner.
He remembers nothing after drink
ing q cup Of coffee, except that h
became blinded, and vas soon nj
most in . frenzy. He remember
nothing that occurred during the in
term after drinking the coffee, ap'
recovering consciousness at the cit.
hall. All his money vas taken be
fore Officer Jones found him and ha'
him sent to police headquarters.
Larkin never had an attack OF epi
lspsy in his life, and says he Is con
Adent the man be befriended drugge'
him for the purpose OF robbery.
He leaves this afternoon for Gin
cinnsu and will he assisted part o
the way by the city. After the theorl
OF hydrophobia was started last nigh
Larkin was locked up, And this morn
ing was greatly amused at the pro
cscdings.

Winton, Of Washington, he did not
turn over any money. He had re-
ceived several hundred dollars of
guarantee money put up by the
clubs, which is unaccounted for. The
statement is made by those who know
the facts that with the exception OF
Psducah none Of the clubs have made
expenses.
President Einstein, Of the Padu-
cab Association, was asked how
much truth there was In the above,
and replied that there was no danger
of the league breaking. The only
grounds for fear, be said, were on ac-
count Of the Evansville club, which
has now passed into good responsible
hands, and has excellent backing.
