Senator Allison Predicts Drastic
Legislation BY Congress
PRESSURE FOR IT INCREASING
Extra Penalties for Attack on Life
of President.
TO PROHIBIT MEETINGS

CHICAGO, September 21.-"Congress will
probably make thorough investigation of
anarchy in the United States next winter
and will do it's utmost to pass suitable laws
for the prevention of any such crime in
the future as that committed against
President Mckinley said Senator Allison
of Iowa. Il have no doubt there will be
many joint sessions of the judiciary COM
mittee of the two houses during the ses-
sion, and the best legal talent of the land
will be called upon to assist the Attorney
General in pointing out constitutional
methods for reaching the seat of the
trouble. The need is evident. The pres
sure for legislation will be very great, pos
sibly pushing Congress to go to an un-
warranted extreme. Some action will un-
doubtedly be taken that is in consonance
with the Constitution and will not infringe
on proper freedom of speech.
"A statute prohibiting gathering of an
archlStS is not improbable. Just under
what circumstances the prohibition will be
made effective and how it will be enforced
must be determined by investigation"
In addition to this Senator Allison said
that some measure placing a severe pen
atty upon any assault upon the chief exec
utive of the land was being discussed

the scientists in France are engaged on

Malay peninsula and in certain districts In
Malacca. Inferior qualities have not the

in the afternoon, when 1t was nearly dark,
President Roosevelt left the White House
and walked unaccompanied to the home OF
Commander CowleS, where he will remain
until he goes to the White House to occupy
that building on Monday. Some comment
was caused yesterday by the fact that the
President went about unaccompanied and
exposed to any danger that might be lurk-
ing. 1t is well known. however, that the
President will never consent to a body
guard of detectives following him around.
He will go and come whenever he desires
in his old way, but will exercise such eau
tfon as hts position and dignity necessi-
tate. He will not needlessly expose him

who tries to harm him may lind that they
have tackled a difficult proposition. Presi-
