PLOT OF GREEK ANARCHISTS.
One Of Their Number Ii Picked Out 10
XIII Prominent American, hut
Weakens.

New York, Jan. 21.--Elias Masuras,
q Greek, the complainant in an as
sault case which came before City
Judge Kellogg, Of Yonkers, N. Y, yes
terday, told a startling tale Of plot
of Greek anarchists to kill prominent
Americans, and would have told more
had not the court stopped him and
turned him over to the police that
they might quietly investigate the
case. Several arrests have already
been made and number more are
planned. On the stand Masuras said
that in Greece he had been a member
of an anarchist society. Some time
ago it fell to his lot to kill a public
man in the United States and he was
ordered to come to this country and
place himself under the orders of the
American branch of the Society.
After reaching America, Masuras, &C.
cording to his own story, went to
Yonkers and affiliated himself with a
branch of the organization there as
well as one in New York. Finally he
became frightened, withdrew and re-
fused to carry out the mission en-
trusted to him. From the time he
left the organization he claims he
was annoyed and threatened by mem
bers of the society.

At the afternoon session a resolu-
ton was passed asking the federal
government to discover some remedy

RECRUITING ACTIVE.
Enlistments for Army Progressing
in All the Principal Cities.
VOLUNTEERS SOOy TOBE DISCHARGED


Washington, Jan. 19.-Active re-
cruiting for the army is in progress
in all the principal cities of the coun-
try. The authorized strength of the
regular army at present is $1,000 men
and the recruiting in progress is with
view to maintaining it at that
strength after the discharge of the
$4,000 volunteers June 30 next. All
enlistments are for three years and
the number of recruits averages about
1000 month. Owing to the delay in
action on the army bill the impression
prevails in the war department that
it will be almost impossible to get all
the volunteers to this country in time
to permit their discharge here by
June 30. In that case it will be nee
essary to discharge a number Of them
in the Philippines on that date in or
der to keep them there until replaced
by regular troops now being recruit
ed. Otherwise it would not be posi-
Bile to keep the Philippine army up
to the limit of 10000 men, regarded
as essential to the enforcement of the
presidents policy, while the proposed
reorganization Of the army is in prog
ress. 1t is said at the war depart
ment that while it is settled that all
the volunteers will be discharged June
30, the course of events in the near f,l-
ture will determine to a considerable
extent whether the discharges shall
take place in the Philippines or in
the United States. Every effort will
be made to get as many of them home
as possible before their discharge.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 22.-The senate
committee on assessment and taxation
will introduce a bill to prevent mort
gage companies from lodging taxes
in western Kansas. The method
adopted by the companies is to let
the taxes run for several years, and
then propose compromise on so
cent. basis. As the counties generally
are in need of funds, the offer is ac-
cepted. 1t is proposed to enact law
allowing counties to lease for graz
ing purposes lands upon which taxes
are in arrears.
