CZ0LGOSZ OWNS PLOT
ASSASSIN ADMITS A CONSPIRACY
TO KILL M'kiNLEY.
Confession duplicates Emma Goldman

Buffalo Searched for Letters Sup
posed TO Give Names of CuIprits.

a Buffalo dispatch on Wednesday said
that Czplgosz had confessed to the police
that his attempt upon the life Of Presi-
dent Mckinley was the result of con
spiracy in which many besides himself
had a part. So far as can be learned,
Czolgosz refused to mention any name
except that of Emma Goldman, but pa
pers are in existence which. il they can
be discovered, will lay bare the ent.-e
conspiracy. and will result in wholesale
arrests. followed by prosecutions.
In his confession Czo.gOsz told Of his
attemrt to destroy the written evidences
of the conspiracy. He has said that
time did not permit him to burn the pa
pers as he had desired Before leaving

from the drawers of his table. All were
bound together in one package, which he
concealed beneath his GO t.
Czolgosz says that he made a circuit
Gus and aimless trip about the city, and
that at some point, which he cannot now
describe, he came upon an open sewer.
Into this sewer he cast his papers. Inch
by inch the sewers of this city are be-
ing searched, and, if such thing is pos
sible. those papers will be recovered.
On authoritative information it can be
said that during the last ten weeks EN-

she met him for a few moments In CHI
cago. Twice she admitted being in Buff
falo this summer-once about the middle
of July and the second time about the
middle of august. On the second visit
to Buffalo she visited the Pan American
Exposition
Miss Goldman denied emphatically that
she was in any way connected with the
attack upon the President. She declared
that there was nothing in her teachings
to result in violence. In the same breath
she called Mckinley the most insignia
cant President in the history of the coun-
try-a weak tool of capitalize enemy OF
the laboring man. She declared that
doubtless Czolgosz had Just causes to
drive him to the act he committed.
The importance of the capture of this
anarchistic leader is deemed immense by
the federal authorities. 1t is the inten-
ton to charge her directly with being an
accessory before the fact in the attempt
ed assassination of President Mckinley.
Saturday afternoon the woman called
at the postoftice in St Louis and gave
orders that her mail should be sent to
Chicago, to the general delivery. The po-
lice were already on her trail at that time.
Later she received telegram. This she
destroyed.
From nearly every State in the Union
and from nearly every public man comes
the demand for the crushing of anarch-
ism. the arrest of its opponents, the sup
preston of its literature, and the inter
diction of Is meetings.

baked by the announcement at the last

bees and insects hummed and droned a

accident had been terrible to him. Soon
he ceased struggling, and the fuzzy
legs and black hips stood up in the air
-still-no longer protesting against
fate.
Now during these struggles, a small

know the result. A live humble bee

was trying to carry something many
times her size; but pulled away. now
as a straw i2y across her track. and
again attempting TO lift her burden

She would stop every now and then
to rest, then she would hook all around
the great body. wondering what she
was gong to do with it when she got
it home.
A big ant roaming around looking
for his dinner espied the little red ant
and her bee. and instantly concluding
that might was right" he shortened
the distance between himself and the
feast. The little red ant paused. What
should she do? She had tried hard to
do her work bravely, not calling for
help. though her irden was heavy.
Now here was foe to face.
The black ant came nearer and-the
red ant ran away as fast as her small
legs could carry her.
DESERVING her work? Well, it looked
like it.
Oh, my little red ant, don't give up
because it is bard-go back!
The little red ant knew what she
was about, however. IN two minutes
she had collected a srr"ll army of re-
lations-back they I'll came-by twos
and threes and dozens-some so eager
that they tried to walk over the backs
of those in front.
The big black ant was getting UNI

drew themselves around the now van

else. What would you have? Do you

Cost of Inquiry $4,000.

The demand of Schley that his record
be cleared will cost the government at
least $4,000. While part of this sum
will have been expended in the fitting up
of the court of inquiry the major portion
will go to the printers and the witnesses.
A stenographic report of every word ut
tered by the court of inquiry will be kept.
A large staff of stenographers has been
secured and as soon as the testimony has
been transcribed it will be rushed over
to the government printing office and put
into type by the same men who set up
the Congressional Record when Congress
is in session. The experts in the printing
Office estimate that it will cost about 500
a night to get the testimony out on time.
As it is expected that the court will be
in session u least a month, it will be seen
what an important item in the expense
account will be the printing bill.
The witnes 5es summoned come from
all parts of the world. Lieutenant Com
