CODE OF INSTRUCTIONS
GIVEN TO CZOLGOSZ.

Buffalo. y. Y. Sept. 1.-THE Courier
says this morning: Superintendent Bull
now has in his possession the code of
instructions impaired to the selected
assassin. Czolgosz. The platform of the
free society was also added TO the cum
ulative evidence of the anarchist con-
spiracy yesterday. This document
birds it's members together to advOca ts
and work for the destruction of the
existing social order, and continues:
As in former times, no privileged
class ever -elinquished its tyranny, no
more can we take il for granted tli.tt
the capitalists of the present day will
forego their privileges and their au-
thOrsty without cOmpulsion. It IS
therefore self-evident that the fight of
the proletarian against tho upper and
the middle classes must be of a violent
character. and that mere wage cCn-
ffcts can never lead to the goal.
We snow by numerous Illustrations
shat ali attempts which have been made
IN the past 10 do away with the exist
ing nonstrous social system through
peaceful means-fOr example, tho bal

so in the future
I'VE know. therefore. that the ruling
class VIII not voluntarily relinquish its
prerogatives and will make no conces-
siOns TO US. Under all these circum-
stances there is only one remedy left
force
our platform is simple and divided
as follows;
"First-Destruetion Of existing class
domination through inexorable revclu-
ton in international activity.
-Second-The building of a free So
ciety on communistic organizations or
productions.
'.Third-Eree exchange Of equivalent
products through the productive organ

q Organization of the educa-
tional system upon a noa-religious,

SITE FOR NEW INDIAN SCHOOL
HANCOCK RANCH NEAR PAN
CLUTCH SELECTED.
Supervisor Dickson's Description of
the site-Purchase Recommended
by the Commissioners.

Senator Kearns has received from
Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Towner the report Of Supervisor C. H.
Dickson on the propriety of purchasing
the A T. HANCOCK ranch near Pan
guitch as the site for an Indian school.
Mr.. Dickson's report being favorable,
and having the endorsement of Senator
kearns, the secretary of the "a.
has been requested 10 give authority
tor making the purchase. In his re-
port Mr.. Dickson says:
There can be no question but that
the additional buildings that viii be
required to thoroughly equip a school
for fifty or 100 Indians can be built
more economically at this point. The
cost of fuel need be nothing. If hauled
by the pupils. Even if purchased, the
cost is very small, never exceeding 81
per cord.
THE land of Mr.. Haycock runs from
east to west, the Sewer river crossing
1t and a1Ording plenty Of water for
stock, etc. The land is fine, and viii
easily raise two crops of alfalfa per
scar; barley, forty bushels; wheat,
twenty bushels; potatoes, 200 to
500 bushels; beets, carrots, onions. peas.
radishes and lettuce can also be raised.
The house, barn ana OutDuhdInss or
Mr. Haycock are Immediately on the
public highway leading to Panguitch
. and face west. Right adjoining the res
idence on the south is a beautiful site
for school buildings, dormitory, etc. II
it should be deemed advisable to COM
mence the school this fall, the impie-
ment shed of the new barn can be
utilized for the boys dOrmitory, and
the residence can be used for girls.
There are no Indians whatever in
the immediate vicinity of Panguitch,
but if 1 am rightly informed there are
: at Escalante 125 Indians; at Grass val
lev there are seventy-five Indians; 1T
Pareah and Kanab there are about 100
Indians. and in Rabbit valley there are
fifty Indians. With an enterprisinS
teacher and the assistance of Miss
Work the acting agent, 1 feel confident
enced in filing this school with from
fifty TO 100 pupils
There can be no question that the
pupils of a school located at sucn a
place as Panguitch. surrounded as il IS
by a thrifty, intelligent, enta-pflslng
community of farmers. VIII be greatly
benefited by its location. In concur
sion I respectfully recommend thu Rur :
chase of the Haycock farm. ana sax
isfied that with the larger scholars we
win have at that school thS LAID IS
ample for all purposes. In my Judgment

DUG THROUGH JAIL WALL
Frank Ballard Makes His Escape
From Davis County.

Word was received at the county Jail
in this city last night. that Frank Bal
lard, charged with attempted rape, had
made his escape from the Pennington
jail Wednesday night. According TO the
information received from Sheriff Alb
bolt, Ballard made his escape by dig
ging through the wall of the Jail, and
no trace of him has been secured yet,
The escape of the prisoner was discov-
cred about o'clock Wednesday night,
but it is supposed that he had been
gone from the prison a half hour or
more before his absence was discOv-
cred. AS soon as the jail break was
discovered Sheriff Abbott was COM
municated with and a search was made
Of the country for several miles around,
but no trace of the prisoner could be
found. AS Ballard formerly worked in
this city and is we'll known here Sheriff
Abbott suspected that he might come
in this direction and notified the Off
GERS 10 look out for him.
Ballard was arrested here last June
upon a complaint sworn to in Judge
Dana T. Smiths court. charging him
with attempted rape upon Miss Annie
Wilkinson while they were driving in
the vicinity of Bountiful Ballard has
been in Jail since June awaiting trial

Favors Judge Humphreys.

Washington, Sept 12.-Attorney Cen
eral Knox has concluded his investiga-
ton of the charges filed by the bar as
ISOLATION of the Hawaiian islands
against Abram s. Humphreys, first
judge of the circuit court of the First
judicial district of Hawaii He has
prepared his findings and will submit
them TO the president as soon as prac-
ticable. The conclusion reached is that
Judge Humphreys has done nothing
which would justify his removal. The
attorney general finds that some of the
charges were not sa isfactorily estab-
lished, and to the others that they were
purely matters of innuendo, utterly
without justification in fact and reck-
less and Incorporate in spirit.

HERR MOST ARRESTED
AND LODGED IN sAIL.

New York. Sept. Johann Most.
she most widely known of New York

organ Of the anarchists. was arrested
tonight by central Office detectives The
arrest was made in a saloon over which

Most objected vOlubly to the arrest.
but to no purpose and he was locked
up at police Headquarters as "a sus-
piciOus person"
Captain Titus refused 10 allow Most
to see any one or to make a statement.
The captain decfsred he would not al
low the prisoner co pose as a martyr
before the public
The complaint against Most, which
covers FIVE and n half typewriter
pages. is based on ard quotes in full
an editorial which Nest printed in the
Freiheit on Sept. Z. The editorial reads
IN pa-t:
THE greatest OF all fOllies in the
world is the belief that there can be A
crime of any sort against despots and
their accomplices. Such a belief is in
itself a crime Despots are outlaws;
they are in human shape what the
tiger is among beasts. To spare them
is a crime As despots they make use
of everything, treachery, poison. muir
der. etc, so everything should be en-
ployed against them
Most protested that ne had committed
no crime and that all that had hap
pened in his newspaper We're simply
opinions in liew guise that had been
printed and reprinted and voiced thOus-
ands of times in the last fifty years.

COTTRELL'S INACTI0N.
Believed That He Desires to Shield
Police Department.

Members of the city council are de-
vising some means whereby the custom
of waiting for the chairman of com
rnittee to call his colleagues together
to consider important matters can be
supplanted by a me ,hod of assembling
committees without the chairman 5
call. The failure Of Chairman Cottrell
to call the police committee together
to agree upon a report with reference
to {. B. Marklands charges of mall
treat of him was brought up in
the council meeting Wednesday in a
manner which reflected upon the chair
man. and yesterday several councilmen
concurred in the proposition that the
member from the Second precinct must
be smoked out on the MARYLAND mat
ter and also on other subjects which
he has pigeon hOled for several months
past.
IT has developed that Councilman
Cottrell has a purpose in forestalling
any action by the council upon the
complaint Of Mr.. MARYLAND. IT is said
that a majority of the committee viii
favor a report to the council cenSurlnS
the police department and some of his
colleagues believe that his dilatory
course is prompted by a desire to shield
the department.
A plan is said to be working to put
the sharp point of councilnanic action
in CottrelTs direction, so that he will
not fail to learn that his attention is
engaged upon serious matter which
he has sidetracked since the beginning
of summer.

eighty miles an hour ana went over an
embankment seventy feet high. The air
brakes had failed. Engineer Dahlgreen
kept the whistle valve open until the

the track ahead OF their danger. In
spite of his heroism Knight was struck
and killed.

the thirty-three cars were saved from
total destruction in the fire that broke
out IN the heap of wreckaSe that is
still burning fiercely. Knight was from

In good stead. When the robbery Of the
dead and the looting of the wrecked
houses began he went from Atlanta and
offered his services as "A policeman in
Charleston. The negroes We're giving
the most trouble, and Parker. with his
tremendous size and strength, wrenched
the neck of more than one thief. He
was more feared than any other man
who helped to guard the stricken city.
When Parker went a few years ago
to New York he had no friends, but
had saved his money. and. being a man
of excellent habits. he soon found good
employment. He is said TO be much
better of in a financial way than the
average negro
a story Illustrating Parker'S influence
among other negroes was told by his
associates. During the race riots in
New York in the summer of 1900 II was
dangerous for a negro to venture out on
the west side of the city between
Twenty-third and Forty-second streets.
The negroes were panic-stricken, and
many were ready to commit violence.
Parker advised the negroes to keep cool
and to stay off the street, and above ali
things to keep out of rows. His advice
is said to have been followed by many
men.
Parker is a factor in Republican poll
tics in his district in New York City

]. B. Parker, the negro who prevented
the Anarchist Czolgosz from firing a
third shot into President Mckinley 9
body. is said by his associates to be as
fearless as he is strong, and as modest
as he IS fearless.
Parker is popular, but is feared be-
ca use of mis- tremendous strength The
strange hold. the one he tried on the
anarchist with such success, is known
to few men outside professional wrest-
lers. but it is known to Parker. who
learned it when he lived in Georgia.
Born slave. freedom came TO Parker
when he was only boy, but he con-
tinued to live with and work for the
whites. b. diligence and a determine
ton to learn he succeeded in obtaining
an education.
Parker was recommended for place
