BIG JIM" THANKED.
Negro Who Knocked Down CzolgOcz
Greeted by Senator Hanna.

BUFFALO, Sept 10.-James Benjamin
Parker or big Jim" Parker. as he is gen
orally called, the negro who jumped on the
Presidents assailant on last Friday and
would have killed him had he not been
pulled off, received a special Invitation
from Mr.. Hanna TO come to see him. The
negro has been a lion ever since last Fri
day. He has sold the buttons off his coat
and waistcoat for sums ranging from s. to
$50 apiece. and finally parted with all the
clothing ne wore during the struggle, TO
visitors who wanted them as souvenirs
1t not until Saturday afternoon. when
he had nothing else left, that ne had time
to get his photograph taken. These went
or IKE not cakes on saturday night and
the photographer expects to work his as
Sistants from now until the close of the
show printing pictures. So when big
Jim came around to the Buffalo Club this
afternoon TO see the senator from Ohio he
WAS respendent i'm new raiment. and his
pockets were lined with greenbacks and
iingling with coin.
He was abashed when he was ushered i'm
and found himself a guest of BuffalO's most
exclusive club. Senator Hanna came for
ward with Outstretched hand and shook
hands warmly with the negro. He made
him little speech. i'm which he told Parker
how brave he was and thanked him for his
loyalty TO the President and for his prompt
ness I'm springing TO his assistance The
senator asked the negro TO tell him lust

he has embillished his story to herO-WOr-
Shipping Pan-American visitors
And ii they had not ha' pulled me off

INDIANIANS AT BUFFALO
LIGHT INFANTRY Is READY FOR SAT-
URDAY's CELEBRATION.
Assisted in the Reception of Rhode
Islanders OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Chilly
for the Soldiers.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Sept. 1O.-Toward even
ing yesterday the cool lake breeze made the
air very chilly and overcoats and capes
were worn by most of the sght-seers on the
Midway at the exposition. The dress
parade was commanded by Major {. 5.
Tarlton, with Capt. II. b. Mahan acting
adjutant and the Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Indiana troops participating.
The Indianapolis Light Infantry made a
visit to all the Midway shows last night,
after which they witnessed the illumination,
which is one of the grandest sights or the
exposition, but when TAPS" were sounded
all were in their beds. No one had any de-
sire to linger the outside of the guard
line, the days sightseeing being so ex-
hausting. Although Captain McClain had
brought blankets along, this morning the
men complained of the chilliness of the
night Good arrangements have been made
for feeding the company and this important
factor has been attended to without the
general kick coming from the men.
This morning the Governor of Rhode
Island, accompanied by all the members
of his military staff and state officers, ar
rived on the grounds and the military es-
cort was in waiting to receive him at the
south entrance TO the grounds. The
Seventh Heavy Artillery, armed with rifles
and acting as infantry, had the right of
the line. Then came the Indianapolis Light
Infantry Capt McClain), followed by two
companies of the Massachusetts National
Guards; one company of Sons of Veterans,
one company of United States marines
with b Troop. First Rhode Island, acting
the Governors personal escort which,
after marching around the grounds stop
ped at the Music Hall, where Mr.. Milburn,
president OF the exposition, delivered an
address of welcome to Rhode Islands chief
executive and visitors. The Indiana and
Rhode Island troops were constantly ap-
plauded along the line of march.
Tomorrow the Light Inufantry will visit
Niagara Falls in body. To-day was Span
ish war veterans day and hundreds of
delegates were in attendance. Col. Russell
b. Harrison, Capt. W. L. English and
Capt Frank S. Clark, all of Indianapolis,
are here to represent the interests of In
diana at the convention.
Saturday next is Indianas day, at which
time immense crowd is expected, as it
is also railroad and Vassar College day.

government would be represented IN II.
The fact that it was not in 1895 caused
some comment. Recent events have shown
that under the teachings Of anarehism
the popularity chosen head of the mildest
government in the world is no safer than
the hereditary ruler of the most despotic
government. The proceedings of the con-
ference were kept secret. and it is not
known Just what conclusions were reached.
II stated. however. that the repre-
sentatiyes of Great Britain, Belgium and
Switzerland declined to accede to the pro-
posal that foreign Anarchists who may
have taken refuge in any state should be
surrendered on the demand OF their re-
spective governments No doubt the
United States would have taken the same
position if it had been represented in the
conference, as it has always gone TO an
extreme length i'm the doctrine of harbor-
ing political refugees, but the attack on
President Mckinley is likely To work Il
decided change in public opinion and in
the policy of the government this ques
ton. Just now public opinion would sane
ton almost any measures, domestic i'm
ternational, for the suppression of a move
ment that is recognized as universal men
ace. But we must be practical and must
not be carried away by the excitement of
the moment. If the attack President
Mckinley should suggest another inteTna-
tional conference on the subject this gov
eminent ought TO be represented. other
wise it should express its sympathy with
the efforts of other governments to sup
press anarchism, and should take measures
of its own to that end. AS the would-be
assassin of President Mckinley is not only
an avowed Anarchist, but a native-bOrn
American, the best response the United
States can make to the worldwide eX-
pressions of sympathy that are pouring in
is to enact new and stringent laws for
the suppression of cult that aims at the
murder of all rulers and the overthrow
of all government. A crime that is uni
versal i'm its aims calls for the united ac-
ton of all governments for its suppression
and punishment. AS anarchy is a crime
against all nations they should all unite
in suppressing It.

A Washington special to the Journal of
yesterday. confirmed by the press dis
patches this morning, states that the law
officers of the government are trying to
bring Czogoczs crime under the federal
laws. The sections under which it is
hoped federal jurisdiction of the crime may
be had are the following:
Section $685. If two or more persons con-
spire TO injure, Cypress, threaten or intimi-
date any citizen i'm the free exercise or en-
1oyment of any right or privilege secured to
MN by the Constitution or laws of the
United States, or because of his having eX-
ercised the same; or if two or more per-
sons go in disguise on the highway, or on
the premises OF another, with intent to pre-
vent hinder his free exercise or enjoy
ment of any right or privilege so secured.
they shall be fined not more than 5000 and
imprisoned not more than ten years, and
shall, moreover, be hereafter ineligible to
any office or place of honor profit or trust
created by the Cons titution or laws of the
United States.
Section $500. If in the act of violating
any provision in either of the preceding
sections any other felony or misdemeanor
be committed the offender shall be punished
for the same with such punishment as is
attached to such felony or misdemeanor
by the laws of the State in which the Of
Tense Is committed.
1t would conduce to the ends of justice
if the case could be tried in the federal
court, because that would mean a speedy
trial and judgment, but it is doubtful if it
can be. The sections quoted are from a
law passed in 1870 to punish crimes against
the elective franchise and the civil rights
of citizens, and it would require a forced
construction to make it cover the case of
personal attack on the President. If so
it would apply equally to a similar attack
or a private citizen and would give the
federal courts concurrent jurisdiction with
state courts in all cases of murder or at
tempted murder. This certainly was not
the intention of the law. Moreover, the
law only applies in case of a conspiracy,
and it is not certain a conspiracy can be
proved i'm this case.

In the case of the Haymarket Anarchists,
several of whom were hanged, Judge Gary,
of Chicago, before whom the trial was had,
charged the jury that if any one OF the
defendants attempted to overthrow the law
by force and threw the bomb which
caused death, then all the defendants who
were in the conspiracy were guilty of muir
der. If there was a conspiracy and the
defendants were party to it, they were
guilty of murder although the date of the
elimination of the conspiracy had not been
fixed. This charge was based on common
law. On appeal TO the Supreme Court of
Illinois that tribunal sustained this view
In it's decision the court said
If the defendants as means of bringing
of the larger conspiracy to effect such
revolution also cOnspired to excite classes
of workingmen in Chicago into sedition
tumult and riot and to the use of deadly
weapons and the taking of human life and
for the purpose of producing such tumult,
riot. use of weapons. and taking of life,
advised and encouraged such classes by
newspaper articles and speeches TO murder
the authorities of the city. and a murder
of a policeman resulted from such advice
and announcement, then defendants are re-
spOnsible therefor.
This principle is susceptible of a wide
application in cases of crime as the result
of conspiracy. and could be made to reach
every person who aided or abetted Col
gocz in his plot against the President.
