Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 24.-lnvesti-
cations made by Police Detective
Schmunk reveal the startling posi-
bility that a plot to assassinate Presi-
dent Mckinley vas laid a year or
more ago, before he was elected for his
second term, and that it may have been
laid i'll Orange township, where the
Czolgosz family lived. A remittance
Waldeck Czolgosz. about a month ago,
led to the investigation that many have
an important bearing on the case.
From the first the Buffalo police and
the secret agents of the government
have been strong in their belief that
there was a plot. One of the strong
elements in their belief has beef the
fact that the handkerchief by which
the assassin concealed the hand in
which he held his weapon, was a wo:
mans handkerchief. What is
important is that the handkerchief
was bound about the hand in d way
that he, it is said, would not have been
able to tie himself.
The fact that Czolgosz had money
impelled the detectives to try to learn
where he got it. Today his brother
| Waldeck confessed to having sent it to
Leon under the name of Frank Snyder,
at West Seneca, N. Y.
Detective Schmunk learned from
neighboring farmers that the Czolgosz
boys, Leonard and Waldeck, nave been
readers of socialist papers for several
years. John D. Knox, an aged farmer,
who lives in the vicinity Of the former
Czolgosz farm, said:
The two boys, the one that shot the
president and Waldeck, used to come
to my house and talk to me about their
socialist papers. They brought their
papers to me and tried to get mt to
read them.
Once when they we're here during
the last presidential campaign, they
got to talking about President McKin-
ley and one of them said: If he is
elected he will be shot before he serves
out his term and went on: I'd serve
John D. Rockefeller the same way If
II got a chance They talked violence
all the time, and l was glad when they
went out Of the neighborhood."

GRAND ARMY MEN ARE
BANDED TO FIGHT ANARCHY

A Tacoma, Wash. special to the Chi.
cage Chronicle says: The Loyal
League of North America has been or
ganized by prominent Grand Army
men to oppose anarchy throughout
this continent. 1t proposes to organize
local branches everywhere and through
them inculcate a love of American in-
situations and insist on their absolute
protection. The parent organization
today Sept, 49, adopted a declaration
OF principles which specifies its objects
as follows:
ITO accomplish the utter annihila-
ton of anarchists and anarchistic
teachings within the border of North
America and to prevent disloyalty to
the existing forms of government"
Any citizen of the United States,
Canada or Mexico over 81 years old is
eligible to membership. All members
pledge themselves to obey the rules of
the organization and give u%nques,ion-
ed obedience to it's executive officers.
George H. Boardman, a large property
owner and one of the most prominent
Grand Army men in the state, was
elected president.
The organization of the Loyal league
is the result of suggestions made Sat
urday night at a meeting of Custer
post, G. A. r. Home colony, this
ty, composed of anarchists and free
lovers, has invited Custer post to in
~vestigate the colony's affairs. Both
Custer post and the Loyal league de-
cline to enter such conference until
the Home colony pulls down it's red
flag. Means are being taken to break
up the colony by lawful means.

MOST ARRESTED.
While Haranouino Crowd. In a Dance
Hall In New York.

New York, Sept. 24.-Johann Most,
the anarchist, was arrested Sunday
night while haranguing a crowd of
500 people in a dance hall back of a
saloon in Corona. Long Island. Cap,
tain Hardy and five plain clothesmen
were recognized, however, and the cry
of warning was raised.
Most descended from the platform,
where he had been speaking, and for
a few minutes was lost in the crowd.
Backed by his men he began working
his way through the crowd. When the
police were close upon Most some of
the group about the leader attempted
active resistance, and in an instant the
police had drawn their sticks. One or
two of those about Most went down
with blood flowing from scalp wounds
and others gave way SO that Captain
Hardy got hold Of Most.
All resistance then ceased and Most
and a few other prisoners were led to
the police station.

An American officer who has just re-
turned from Cuba says that the po-
litical parties of that island have the
propensities Of all Latin races. That
is. they cannot have a two-sided hght.
but instead divide up into three or four
factions. Thus in Havana there are
four parties. each with q different
shade of principles and a different
leader. Among Latin races, as I have
studied them in South America, It ap-
pears to be a question of leaders more
than Of principles. A new man comes
to the front. with an engaging person
ality. proclaims himself a leader and
a man Of destiny. and the crowd falls
In behind him. The idea of q battle
Of principles or Of issues as brought
to them from the United States IL now
to the Cubans. and I believe It will
take them many years to accustom
themselves to IT,"

WANTED TO BURN
EFFIGY OF EDITOR OF LEADING
"YELLoW" PAPERS IN
UNITED STATES.
Matter Given Local Interest as One of
the Condemned Papers is Used for
"6rains' for Wyoming Democratic
Sheet-Safety of City Prevented
the Bonfire.

The following Associated Press dis
patch OF Saturday from New York will
be of considerable local interest, as
one of the yellow papers mention
ed furnishes most of the editorial for
the only democratic daily in Wyo
ming:
Twenty thousand people gathered at
Cleveland and Jamaica II in
East New York on the night of Sep.
TENDER l6 i'll response to big posters
which had been displayed throughout
Every one was anxious to take part in
the burning of William r. Hearst in
ettigy. 1t was necessary to call out
half of Brooklyn's police force to pre-.
vent the crowd from building a great
bonfire in the center of the street, and
this, the police figured, would be dan
gerous because of the high wind which
was blowing at the time.
This eftigy was made Saturday
morning by watchers who had been
waiting around the bulletin boards and
who had learned of the presidents
death shortly before. Some one
who knew the editor of the
New York Journal and Chi
cago American evidently had
a hand in the making of the dummy,
for it was formed after the long figure
of the owner of the newspapers. 1t
was labeled:
William r. Hearst, accomplish of
Czolgosz."
Part of the crowd wanted to burn
the figure at once, but the leaders in
sisted it would be better to leave it
for a few days, and SO it has hung
eve since from a trolley wire support
in the center of the street, the residents
in the neighborhood constituting Il vol
unteer guard and preventing the street
railway employees from removing it.
Saturday posters appeared announc-
ing hat the effigy would be burned
last night. The big sheet read:
William R. Hearst, real assassin Of
President Mckinley, will be burned
at the stake Monday night. Appropri-
ate music and refreshments"
Apparently nobody paid attention to
the big sheets, but early in the even.
ing the crowd began to congregate at
the corner where the figure was hang.
ing, and soon grew to such proportions
that it was necessary for the few po-
licemen who had been sent to the
scene to call for reinforcements. Off.
GERS of the street car company came
also, and they pointed out that the
burning of the effigy would delay cars
for hours. The police then called for
the fire department, and the marshal
announced the effigy would not be
burned, as the bonfire would put the
houses near by in danger.
While the crowd had been waiting
it had gathered a mass of intiammable
stuf-barrels, timbers, coad, tar and
paper-and piled it ten feet high in
the street. The people wanted to burn
the straw figure, and it was only when
the fire department threatened to turn
the lose on the throng that it dispers-
ed.
The next morning the efiigy, an old
pistol in one hand and a bundle of
New York Journals under the other
arm, still was hanging over the street,
and was Kissed by every p%asserby.
