WHOLESALE MURDER PLANNED

Anarchists in Barre Intended to Xii
20 Socialists, but Arrival of Chic,
of Police Brown Foiled the Plot
10 Prisoners.
Evidence was furnished to the DO.
lice at Barre Saturday of a plot for
the murder of Italian socialists. The
man who furnished the information to
Chief Brown is an Italian of good
standing and his story is believed.
The Italian told Chief Brown that 20
members of the local socialist society
had been marked for murder bv the
anarchists, and that the prompt arrival
OF the police at the socialist dance the
other night, where the anarchists had
started fight. only prevented the
slaughter. 1t was also maintained
that desire for vengeance upon tho
| one who foiled the plot was the trne
| motlNe FOR the shooting of the chief
| of police.
According to the informant of the
police about - anarchists were con.
cerned in the plot. He saws the
story can be substantiated bv many
who attended the dance. Ever since
the granite cutters strike last spring
there has been i'll feeling between
Italian factions Of the city Quarrel.
have been frequent. and the disturb
ances, in whicl, the aid of the police
has been called. have not been few.
In this way the strife has grown, until.
IT is asserted the party known as the
anarchists decided To bring about
contest which should result IN death
to many of the other party.
One man was selected to enter The
dance hall, start a quarrel. then two
men were stationed at the doors To
shoot down the 20 Italians selected
as the first to die. The quarrel was
started on time. but the arrival of tn, |
ponce foiled the plot
Two more Italians were arrested
Saturday. making ten who were lodged !
IN Jail. Physicians performed an /
operation upon Chief OF Police Brown !
sunday, removing the bullet which !
lodged in his stomach. A bullet in |
the foot had been removed previously.
Brown has suffered great pain bur
Is expected to recover. The authori-
ties have complete list of all the
members of the anarchist society ir
Barre. One of the prisoners offered
to turn states evidence, but his offer
was not accepted, as it was believed
that he was one of the worst offenders.
Several of the prisoners are said to
have criminal records in Italy. The
better class of Italians in Barre are
1lled with indignation over the shoot
ng of Brown.
The 10 Italian prisoners. handcuffed
ogether, were brought to Barre We'd
lesday from the county Jail in Mont
'elier by Sheriff Graves and five other
'fficers. On being taken before City
Judge Fay the cases of nine were cor.
inued. Innocente Celli was released
IN $1,000 bail.
1t is expected that a special grand
ury will be convened, and so witnesses
ave been summoned. =

Ex-President Cleveland in writing on
The President of the 10th Century" in
the New York World advocates the cleo
tion of the President by direct vote and
the extension of the official term. He
points out that under the present system
the peoples chief officer may be made "the
recipient of their trust and the depository
OF their power in fragrant opposition to
the declared popular will. He says that
two OF the four sessions of Congress held
during Presidential term are so brief "a
scarcely to permit the passage of necessary
appropriation bills, "while of the others
one occurs when the President is usually
strange in his new office and burdened
with opportunities and labors inseparable
from change of administration, and the
remaining one encounters during its con-
tinuance the Interruptions, timidity and
Generalization of a Presidential and Con-
gressional canvass" He also thinks the
business of the country would be disturbed
less by longer term, and the way would
be paved for establishing the ineligibility
of an incumbent to succeed himself.
