A HUNT FOR EMMA GOLDMAN.
Secret Service Men Preserve Silence
as to Their Work.

| BUFFALO. Sept. IS r. ireland. tht
| Secret Service operative who arrested
CzolgosZ. returned to Buffalo today. Mr.
| Ireland disappeared on Saturday night
I having been despatched in search of evi.
dence as to the whereabouts OF Emma
/ Goldman. He went to Rochester. where
he saw the mother and sister of the
woman from whose teachings Czolgos7
says he received the inspiration for his
crime.
On his return to Buffalo today he wa:
driven TO the Milburn house. where he saw
Secretary Cortelyou. AT that time Mr.
Cortelyou was for the moment alone
in the house, except, of course
the physicians After fifteen
minutes interview with Mr.. Cortelyou,
Mr.. Ireland went to the Buffalo Club.
where he saw Secretary Gage. He took
to Secretary Gage some kilograms and a
verbal message from the chief of the
Secret Service.
Secretary Gage was about to start for
the Miburn home and Detective Ireland
walked with him from the club to the
house. The report that he then made
to Secretary Gage as to the result of his
work both refused to disclose. Acting
under the general request Of Secretary of
War Root to suppress all information as
to the existence of a plot or the move
ments against the anarchists, the local
police and the Secret Service men main
tain the utmost reserve, and will make
no statement of an official nature.
Only three Secret Service men are in
BuIalo today, but more will be here to-
morrow. Those now here are Ireland.
Foster and Gallagher. While in Rochester
Emma Goldman had been in Rochester
and Buffalo recently, but no evidence to
show where she stopped while in Buff
falo or with whom she had relations
here.
Emma Goldmans mother said she was
last in Rochester five weeks ago Her
sister fixed the time as three weeks ago.
They declare they do not know where
she went on leaving Rochester or where
she may be at present. This information
was conveyed TO Superintendent of Po-
lice Beall. whose men have failed to
discover or trace any of her movements
while in Buffalo. Were it not for the let
ters found at Chicago bearing the date,
Buffalo. August %, they would have no
proof that she had been here.
Nothing official can be had from the
local police or the Secret Service regard
ing their present opinion as to whether
Czolgosz had a confederate or confeder-
ates at the scene of the attempted assas-
slnation and, indeed, they are equally re-
ticent as to whether the evidence in their
hands tends 10 establish a matured con-
spiracy. The local police give the inn
preston that they believe the attack on
the President was a conspiracy of which
others have criminal knowledge. The
statement comes from an official of the
Secret Service that that branch of official
enquiry holds to the theory that Czolgosz
acted independently. inspired by the an
archistic doctrines jof Goldman and her
followers, but not actuated by any direct
relations with them.
ut is said a Secret Service official, "a
distinct thing under our law for me to
counsel with you privately and incire you
10 crime, and quite another for me to
make a speech in the presence of a hun
dred people calculated to affect you in
the same way. No evidence has been
produced which can truthfully be said to
prove a conspiracy against the life OF
the President. No trace has been found
OF the man with the black mustache who
approached the Preside;lt directly in front
of Czoigosz.' If he was an ~deeeRp piice-
Czolgosz has not betrayed it, and there
Is no evidence beyond the first susnicion 4"
