SAFETY APPLIANCES.
Interstate Commerce Commission Ell
forcing the Law.

The interstate commerce commission is
doing all in its power to enforce the safety
appliance law, which became fully effective
August l. Cases Of injury to employees
while coupling and uncoupling are receiv-
ing particular attention. Section 10 of the
act makes the railroads liable for accidents
to their employees caused by failure of the
roads to apply and maintain proper safety
appliances. An inquiry instituted today by
Secretary E. A. Moseley brought out the
fact that Brakeman ]. King was injured
between two passenger cars in the Balti-
more and Ohio yards last night, and that
these cars were equipped properly. The
law applies only to freight cars, but for
some years the railroads have used modern
safety devices on all their passenger equip
ment.

Denied by Chief wflkfe.
The sensational story from New York
telling of the alleged arrest of fourteen
Italian anarchists was pronounced by Chief
Wilkie to be an absurd fabrication. He said
that it did not contain an iota of truth and
was evidently spun from beginning to end.
Only two men have been arrested. as told
in The Star yesterday, and they are Mar
esca and Weida.
Chief Wilkie said that on August he re-
ceived information from abroad that Mar
esca had sailed for this country for the
purpose of assassinating the President.
Subsequently he also received informat alton
that Maresca was not an anarchist and
that the report sent here of his intentions
to attempt the life of the President was
prompted by the malice of former friend
and associate. Chief Wilkie today believes
this is true.
The only thing that will be done with
Maresca and Weida will be to send them
back to Italy.
There are no agents of the secret service
in Europe at this time and Chief Wilkie
pronounces as fairy story the allegation
