To Suppress Anarchy.

j looks as if New Jersey might Dc
the first State TO take drastic measures
Tor the suppression of anarchy. The
Bar Association of Hudson County has
had under consideration two bills de
signed for that purpose. both of which
have been submitted to q committee To-
Doe laid before the Legislature Of the
state at its next session.
one Of these bills defines anarchy"
to include every act done or word ut
tered with intent to cause OF inCite 9th
crs 10 cause the assassination Of the
President. or any person in the line Of
succession TO the Presidency. the GOV
crnOr of the State. or any person in
the line OF succession to the Governor
ship, or the chief Of any foreign State.
The penalty prescribed FOR this offence
IS death. II is also made a high mis-
demean0r for any person to prOmulgate
aUaTChistic doctrines without any in
tent 10 cause the assassination Of Off
Gals. and this offence is made punish
able as are other high misdemeanors
under the statutes.
The second hill provides that any per
son who shall enter into a conspiracy
10 subvert National or State Govern
ments. or engage in teaching anarchy.
nihilism, or personal violence against
any public official OF the United States
or any State. shall be guilty Of a high
Inisdemeanor. and upon conviction be
imprisoned thirty years al hard labor
An assault upon any national or State
official, member of the Cabinet. Con-
Eress. OF the State Legislature. shall
be punished by Imprisonment for lie
and if the person assaulted dies, the Of
fence becomes capital In none of these
eases shall there be any commutati9l
FOR good behavior or other cause.
As these bills are merely tentative
propositions. it is not necessary To dis
tuss them in detail. II would be easy
10 point out defects In both Of them.
and il viii be difficult if not impossi-
bic, 10 frame any law that viii be per
feet in all its parts. These are intend
ed TO serve as a basis for legislative
action. and il is 10 be hoped that such
action viii be prompt and effective So
far as that State is concerned. But as
The Times has heretofore observed. il
may be naTd 10 secure anything like
uniform action on the part OF all The
states, and hence there should be Fed
craI legislation also.
In this connection it may not be iu-
timed 10 suggest the advisabiIiiy of
having statute dealing with assault -
upon the President, separate and aparJ
from the crime Of anarchy. such am
assault might be made by one not AN
anarchist, and from either q personal
or q political motive. In all these cases
5he crime should be a capital one.

The faIlacy OF the claim that high du-

those countries must have the food. is
wen exempudeJ by the result Of the ad-

months of July. August. and September

responding period ar the previous year, q
clear loss Of tw-nty-niue million bushels

HE SHOT A BURGLAR.
John Lally's Exciting Experience in
His Little Shop on Washing
ton Avenue.

John Laliy who keeps Il candy and
| ice cream shop on the corner OF Nortn
Washington avenue and Ash street
had a thrilling experience early yes
terday morning with a trio of burg
lars, one of whom, he says, he shot.
During the past year Lally's store
has been burglarized three times. The
last burglary occurred about three
months ago, and he determined at that
time that he would catch the gang
IL they ever attempted to enter his
place again.
| lie accordingly fitted up IL bed in one
| of the rooms OF the store ana mas
been sleeping there every night since
Yesterday morning. shortly after
o'clock. his three months vigil was
rewarded. for at that time he heard
the burglars at work on the side door
Of the shop. He got up and arming
| himself with his revolver, awaited de-
velopments.
| Lally had the door by which they
sought entrance strongly barricaded.
and he says it took them nearly all
hour to force it open, All this time
he was waiting in the dark inner room
with the revolver in his hand.
The door finally gave way with a
crash. and the men got away and did
not return for over fifteen minutes.
They came back stealthily. Lally says.
thinking that all danger was past and
one of them entered the store.
| He was just about to go behind the
counter when Lally took deliberate
aim at his hip and fired. He says the
ball struck home, for the burglar al
most toppled over and groaned. He
was out the door, however. in a trice
with Lally at his heels. At the sound
of the shot. the other two men fed
precipitatey. one going up and the
other down Washington avenue.
| AS the man who had entered the
shop turned around the corner of Ash
street. Lally says he fired again. and
| that he believes the burglar received
| the bullet in the back. The pursued
man drew a gun at this stage of the
game. and turning as he ran fired two
shots at Lally, both of which went
singing by his ears. Lally fired two
more shots at the fleeing man. but
didn't succeed in stopping him. He
| would have pursued him further. he
says. had not his revolver refused to
act.
Returning to the shop he found a
big chisel. which was used in forcing
the door. and also several bags in
| which the thieves evidently attended
to stow their plunder. The rumor was
| current yesterday afternoon that a
| wounded man was lying helpless along
the bank of the Lackawanna river.
near tbs Jermyn dump.
Thinking that this might be the
| wounded burglar. police headquarters
| We're notified and Patrolmen Potter
| and McNIullen We're dispatched to the
scene. All they found was a half
drunken hobo lying asleep on the bank
of the stream. They MADE him strip.
to see whether he was wounded, and
he did so, wondering what it was all
about. He had no wounds.
