 k Known as the Free Society THERE PLOT WAS MATCHED
THERE PLOT WAS MATCHED
Buffalo Prisensr Chosen to Commit the crime-Patsrssn censplrators Drink Beer Toast to Assassln--Many
 Barely Esespe the Mebs.

Chicago, September 6-Six men were placed under arrest in this city tonight on the charge of being implicated in the plot to assassinate President Mckinley The men were all found in one house at the corner of St Johns Place and Car roll avenue. on the east side of the city.
 The arrests were made on information of the police of Buffalo, who said that the men were members of society to which the assailant of the President be- longed and that they had knowledge of the plot The police have not yet given out the names of the men taken into cus- tody, but one of the men Is known to be Abraham Isekk, president of an organiza- tion which bears the name of the Free Society. He was formerly editor of a paper of anarchistic principles which bore the name of The Fire Brand The information received by the local police from Buffalo is to the effect that the plot to kill the President was originat ed among the members of the Free Society, and that the Buffalo prisoner was chosen by lot to commit the crime.
 There were five men and three women III me pace where the arrests were made The men were congregated in a meeting hall on the second floor and appeared to be discussing some serious matter. They were so completely surprised by the in vasion of the police that they had no time to make any resistance. Isekk Is supposed by the police to have been the leader of the men assembled, but when h was questioned he refused to make any statement.
 On the way from the house to the pa trol wagon one of the prisoners cursed the officers and declared that he was an anarchist and was proud of 1t. The three women in the house, Isekks wife and daughter and a woman visitor, were subsequently arrested. The building on which the raid was made Is a two-story and basement stone front structure in the factory district. On the first floor Is sit

CARDINAL GIBBONS.

Baltimore Md, September 6. = When the news of the attempted assassination of the President reached Cardinal Gib- bpns he said;
 Tt is sad, indeed, that an insane ia natic can have it in his power to endan- ger the life of the head of great na- ton like this and man having the many virtues of President Mckinley The man who did 1t must be madman

uated 1sekk's printing office in which cuts of leading anarchists were found. The windows were decorated with litho- graphs of leading anarchists and numer- ous publications denouncing the present form of government and the judges who had issued injunctions against the strik- CTS were found.
 Information From Buffalo.
 All the men arrested with Isekk were employed on the paper. The arrests were made by Chief of Detectives Colleran, as- sisted by three of his officers. Captain Colleran said after taking the men to the central police station for examination that he had arrested them upon informa- tion from Buffalo, but what the nature of his information might be he declined to say. He would not admit that he had received any intimation that the assail- ant of the President has made a confess sion duplicating in any way the men ar. rested here.
 A quite general impression outside of the office of Captain Colleran Is that there was no special reason for arresting the men save for the general character of their teachings and writings.
 Oscar Neebe. one of the anarchists con- victed of complicity in the HaymaFket riot, said tonight that there was no plot of the anarchists to murder President Mo Kinley.
 He declared that the assailant was either a crank or an insane man.
 'No good could result from killing President Mckinley" Neebe declared, 'because he Is a good man, and as far as man in his position can be, is for the masses of the people.
 z'tNo man.. said one of the women, "who has true principles of anarchy in his heart would attempt to harm the President. He Is a good man"
 Mrs. Parsons expressed a strong hope that the President would recover.

Grew Out of Haymarks. Riot.

Washington, September 6.-It Is the opinton of the secret service officials that the shooting of the President Is an out cropping in some obscure way of the Haymarket riots and that 1t will be found eventually that Neiman, the wood-be as- sassin, has some connection with the group of persons associated in the Chi cago anarchists riot.
 The secret service ofiicialc are of this opinion because of the name of the man and the fact that he Is probably from the same general section of the country as some of the Haymarket participants. The secret service bureau has the Pat erson, N. J., group of anarchists very thoroughly under suryilance and are con- fident that Neiman has no association with these people. The secret service operatives were in Buffalo about the President at the time of the shooting and another was on the way to Cleveland.

LONDON AWE=STRICKEN
 AT AMERICA'S CALAMITY

London, September s.-The news of the attempt upon the life of President Mo Kinley spread slowly in London. With the confirmation of the news arose a far reaching feeling of sorrow and indigna> ton, which, wherever Americans were gathered. almost gained the proportions of a panic, accompanied by feYerish anx- iety for further details
 The thousands of Americans now in London were mostly at theatres where the news arrived and returning to theit homes, found anxious groups of English men and Americans discussing what, without distinction of race, is regarded as a national calamity. The announce. ment of the attempted assassination was received too late for extra editions of the papers to apnpnnce the news to the mass of the English people, and they will not learn until thsg talks up their morning papers of the attsmpt to kill the Presf, dent.
 Comparatively few Englishmen heard the news tonight, but all these expressed sympathy as genuine as If 1t had been the King instead of the President The latter's kindly personality, his friendship for England and his kindly message of condolence upon the occasion of Queen victoria's death were all called np In voices as low and awe stricken as those of any purely American gathering.
 The Lord Mayor of London, when in formed of the attempt upon the Presi- dents life, said; T shall call meeting of the Aldermen tomorrow formally to express to Mrs. Mckinley and the Amer ican people the horror and grief felt at the attempt"
 MT. and Mrs. Nat c. Goodwin and other Americans who were to have dined at the Carlton tonight cancelled

One of them Is Michael Gold smith, a local labor agitator, and the others name is not known. The latter has promised the local police to find several accomplices of the assailant of the Pres ident, and they are of the opinion that the plot against the President was matched In this city.

ANARCHIST sTATEDLN
 INDIFFERENT TO CRIME

New York. September 6.---As a whole the anarchist group of Paterson, N. J., ex- press no regret at the shooting of Presi- dent Mckinley. On the contrary there was a great gathering of the members tonight at Bartholdi hall in that city. and Neiman. who shot the President, was toasted in beer time and time again. All the talkative members of the group say Neiman is unknown to them One of them said:
 We don't know him, but he Is one of us He did what 1t was his duty to do, and we honor him while personally think ing his effort might better have been em- ployed across the ocean upon some crowned head"
 They all deny there is any truth to the report that at any time President McKin- ley was included in the plots to assassin ate heads of nations. They claim that President McKinley's life was never de- work of today Is that of another branch of their organization.
 Retro EsteYe, who in the past has gior- led '1 each killing of a head of g nation or in any attempt, was very loud tonight in his denials of any participation by the Paterson group in the affair at Buffalo this morning. Esteve even goes so far as to deny that Neman Is not an anarchis:.
 T newer heard of him" Esteve said. ''He is probably some German lunatic and fool"
 The first question asked in Paterson when news of the shooting of the Rresi- dent was received, was whether pr not the assailant was from that city. Ths feeling among the ciIzens outside of an archistic circles is one of deepest indigna- ton, this being heightened by the fact that the plot to slay King Humbert was matched here There is much talk there to- night of attempting to devise means of driving the anarchists put of that ely,
