Been Sworn.

q Greek, the complainant in an assault
case which came before City Judge
Kellogg Of Yonkers. n. r., this morn
ing, told startling tale of a plot Of
Greek Anarchists to kill prominent
Americans, and would have told more
had the court not stopped him and
turned him over to the police that they
might quietly investigate the case.
Several arrests have already been
made and a number more are planned.
Masuras entered the police station.
this morning, and asked the officers in
charge to order the arrests of his as
s1ilants. MasuraS' face was covered
with blood from a wound over the left
eye. He was taken before Justice Kel-
logg, and as result the justice issued
several warrants. During the night
James Kipataukas. another Greek liv-
ing in Yonkers, was arrested. The
prisoner was arraigned, today, and
M2suras called as witness
On the stand Masuras said that in
Greece he had been a member of an
Anarchist society. Some time ago it
tell to his lot to kill a public man in
the United States, and he was ordered
to come to this country and place him
self under the orders of the American
branch of the society.
He never heard the name Of the
name Of the man whom he was to MUIR
der and understood that. as in other
cases, the man who was to be the VIC
tim was to be selected after his ar
rival in this country.

Yonkers and affiliated himself with q
branch of the organization as well as
one in New York. Finally he became
frightened, withdrew and refused to
carry out the mission entrusted to him.
From the time he left the organization
he claims he was annoyed and threat
ened by members of the society.
Yesterday, six of the men came here
and begged him to return. When he
still refused one of the six men. which
one he could not say, attempted to
drive a knife into his left eye. The
blow was aimed too high, however.
Judge Kellogg adjourned the hear
ing and committed the prisoner to Jail
pending further examination. Masuras
was examined by the police and as a.
result five more warrants We're issued
During the day. Joseph kipataukaS, Il
brother of the first prisoner, and Frank
Hestaigns Of New York City, We're ar
rested. One other Yonkcrs man and
two New Workers are named on the
other warrants and the police are
searching for them.
The police assert that they believe
this story told by Masuras. thew
say that the affair has led to the dis
covcry Of an Anarchist band of a dan
eerOus character.

MANUFACTURERS
ARB THANKFUL
New Tax Law Is Saving
Them Thousands Of
Dollars

Manufacturers of the city are paying
to Clerk of the Peace Quigley much tax
under the amended manufacturers tax
law. The advantages Of the new law
have not yet been fully comprehended by
those who are subject to it. resulting as
those advantages do, in not only doing
away with that feature Of the old law
which required the manufacturer to make
sworn statement to the clerk Of the peace
of the amount of business done and the
disclosing OF other private matters OF
business, but in reducing the amount of
the tax as well. Those business men
who are familiar with the law and have
profited by it, express the greatest graft
iication at its passage by the Legislature.
and they believe that it not only viii en-
courage manufacturers already establish
ed here, but induce large development
OF the manufacturing interest OF the
State. They agree that it was a great
and necessary change in the system OF
corporation taxation in this State and
hope that it will meet the appreciation Of
every manufacturer here.
