Presidents ASsaiIant Adheres to His Assertion
That He Alone PIanne1 the Crime and
Must 'K:.,weTR For It.
Cleveland Police, After Investigation, Report
That They Can Find No Proof
of Plot.

Of the president. He states the Cleveland
police have been following up the meagre
threads OF evidence presented, but that
they can find no proof whatever that such
a plot existed:
1t is quite evident that Leon Czolgosz
was an element of discord in his own
family, and. that he never was popular
even with his own people. His taciturn
disposition and queer ways isolated him
from relatives and friends and his So
claIistic tendencies appear to have been
regarded as the vagaries OF a weak mind.
According to a statement made by Detec-
tive Doran, Czolgosz received $40 from his
people on account of his equity in the
farm near this city. This sum was paid
him by his brothers wife, as part pay
ment of his interest, Leon desiring to
leave the city. his interest to revert to
the brother, Jacob. The farm was sub
seQuently sold, and Leon still has $50
coming to him on account
The statement that Czolgosz received
$40 from Newburg anarchists to take him
to Chicago is evidently purely surmise,
and finds no credence with the authori-
ties There is still a strong impression
among residents of Newburg that ring
Of anarchists exists in that locality, and
that they are working in conjunction with
Chicago anarchists.

Feeling That the Worst Phases of
the Crisis Are Over.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 9.-Presi-
dent McKinley's condition this morning is
SO favorable that it has dispelled almost
the last shade of doubt and apprehension
and has led those nearest him to make
the most confident predictions of his re-
covery. The official bulletins from the
physicians as well as the authoritative
statements of those in most intimate rela-
tion with the presidential household. give
certainty to the feeling that the worst
phases Of the crisis are about over.
DR.. McBurney is quoted this morning as
saying:
The president is IN an entirely satisfactory
condition. Complications are decidedly less
likely to occur than yesterday.
You are not disturbed. then, over the
somewhat restless nght?"
'No. man who has been shot isn't to be
expected to sleep quietly
The tone of the a. m bulletin in re-
ferring to the presidents somewhat rest
less night gave temporary apprehension,
but this was speedily dispelled by the re-
suits Of the consultation held by the doc
tors from to 9 o'clock and officially an
nounced at the latter hour. This disclosed
marked improvement in the pulse and
temperature.

jamestown, N. D., Sept. "a peculiarly
fatal accident occurred in the jamestown
Of nine cars-seven freight and two pas
senger coaches-collided with an engine
standing on the track in front of the rail-
way headquarters building.
Five men were killed outright. and one
has since died from his injuries. Five
others were more or less injured, some
Of whom may die.
The train was coming from Cakes, on
the James River valley line of the North
ern Pacific railway and the men were
all riding on an open fiat car between two
heavily loaded box cars, the second car
from the engine. Most of the men were
asleep, wrapped in blankets, when the
| accident occurred, and were caught like
rats in trap. They were all strangers
and were coming from La Moure TO get
work in threshing.
Engineer Nichols claims the air would
not work. The fiat car broke in two and
the center part rose in the air while the
men rolled down between the broken fat
car and the box car. No passengers were
hurt. The engineer remained on the en-
gine until the crash came when he
jumped and was not hurt Fireman Cleve-
land jumped and was Hnhurt.
No one was on the standing engine at
the time, the engineer and fireman being
in the eating room at tie station.

CZ0LGOSZ TWO YEARS AGO
While Working in Michigan He Said
the President Would Be Killed.

Alpena, Mich, Sept 9.-John Sherwood.
a well known landlooker, also lumber
man, states that Leon Czolgosz worked
in cedar camp near South Branch, Thun-
Der Bay river, two years ago. He went by
the name Of Fritz or Fred Nieman at
that time. Sherwood says the fellow was
radical anarchist and made the state
ment:
The government will fall in three or four
years. The president will be killed The
anarchists will win. The time for action
will soon be here.
He talked of nothing else to the men
working in the camps. At times he was
morose, but never showed any signs of
insanity. He did not say he used to live
in Alpena, but is recognized by men who
knew him and his family.

CHICAGO PRISONERS
Hearing Postponed to Allow Fuller

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The nine anarchists

quest of the city the hearing was post
poned until Sept. 19 in order to allow a
more complete investigation Of the charge

Without exception those who came from
the Milburn house expressed this same
confident view. Among those who called
to receive the good news and then to
repeat it to the many anxious watchers
were Attorney General Knox, Secretary
Wilson, Postmaster General Charles EN-
ory Smith, Senator Hanna, Abner Nc
Kinley, Myron T. Herrick, Senator Fair
banks, Controller Dawes and maw 9th
ers holding the closest relations with the
president.
Hanna JubiIant.
Secretary Hitchcock and Senator Hanna
emerged from the Milburn HOUSE shortly
after noon. The senator appeared to be
very jubilant. He stopped moment be-
fore entering his automobile to express
his great satisfaction at the presidents
condition.
Every bulletin is an Improvement"
said he, "and the last is the best sof all.
OF course last night was an anxious one,
but the president passed in safety without
change for the worse. The crucial peri
cd probably will extend through another
day, possibly longer, but every hour now
is a victory
"Is the presidents mind clear?"
'Clear as a BELL" replied the senator
promptly.
Does he talk?'
"As much as he is allowed to-" he an
swered smiling Mrs Mckinley was
with the president for some little time
this morning." he added. "She is doing
splendidly"
Then another admonition to the pho
tographers to turn their batteries away,
he and Secretary Hitchcock climbed into
the auto and rode away to the Buffalo
club.
Mrs. Mckinley in the Sick-rOOm.
Mrs Mckinley was admitted to the
sick room this morning and had brief
stay with her afflicted husband. The veil
of domestic privacy is, of course, thrown
over the details of the meeting and any
accounts of 1t are necessarily supposittous.
Mrs. Mckinley bore up we'll and displayed
the same fortitude which has character
ICED her, as we'll as the president, since
the tragic event occurred
Although there have been statements
that Mrs. Mckinley has not been apprized
of the manner in which the president was
injured, it can be stated positively that
she is fully aware that he was shot, al
though it has not been necessary to dwell
upon the narrowing details OF the affair.
AS much as possible she has been buoyed
up by the encouraging attitude Of the
physicians, and she has responded by CIV
ing all her strength toward passing
through the ordeal with calmness.
Secretary Cortelyou remained near the
president throughout the early hours OF
the day and then came out to get breath
of air. The secretary has been among
the very few admitted within the sick
room, even the members of the cabinet
and others close to Mr.. Mckinley in public
life being kept from the chamber.
Mr.. Cortelxou shared in the feeling OF
satisfaction caused by the bulletins. but
beyond that he would give no public
statement on the situation. Several 9TH
ers who have been at the Milburn resi-
dence steadily came out for rest, and
one Of these, who has had exceptional or
portunities for observation, made the fol-
lowing general remark
The situation Is entirely encouraging. The
presidents restlesSness last night was quite

Mibun House, Buffalo. Sept 9.-As indicating the
condition of the president the following incident is re-
lated by of those inside the Mburn house familiar
with the facts:
Mr.. Mckinley had been lying for long time in one
position, but during the morning he asked if he could
not change this position The doctors in charge gave
their consent Whereupon the president changed his
position by his own effort, without difficulty and
without pain.

Washington, Sept. 9. = Judge A. H.
Noyes, who arrived in Washington last
night, is confined to his room at Shoreham
Hotel with a severe attack of asthma.
His illness was aggravated by the dis
comforts Of travel from Chicago, and
when Judge Noyes arrived here, his physi-
clan advised him to remain in his room
for two or three days. He was therefore
obliged to turn away callers last night
and this morning. Judge Noyes will be
able to take the necessary time to COM

OPENING DAY
Preparations for "President's Day"
Going Forward.


Cleveland, Sept. 9.-The first day of the
thirty-fifth annual encampment of the G.
A. r. opened under the most auspicious
circumstances and it is now quite evident
that the event will be one of the greatest
in the history Of the organization. The
day was largely devoted to assigning the
veterans to their quarters.
The committee appointed yesterday to
arrange for presidents day met this af-
ternoon at the Union club and 1t is an
nounced that the preparations for Thurs
days great mass-meeting and good will
gathering will be as extensive and inter-
esting as the big parade of Wednesday.
Vice President Roosevelt has not yet been
heard from, but the arrangements for
presidents day win be pushed and it is
confidently expected that the vice presi-
dent with members of the cabinet and
other eminent visitors now at Buffalo will
be in attendance.
