PATTERSON GROUP NEVER
HEARD OF HIM BEFORE.
THINK HIM A LUNATlC
Nevertheless Rejoice at His Deed
and Toast Him Time and
Again

New York, Sept. Gas a whole the
anarchist group of Paterson, N. j.,
express no regret at the shooting of
President Mckinley. On the contrary
there was a great gathering Of mem
bers tonight at Bartholdi hall in that
city, and Neiman, who shot the pres
ident, was toasted in beer time and
time again.
All of the members of the group
say Neiman is unknown to them. One
of them said: I'VE do not know him,
but he is one of us. He did what it
was his duty to do and we honor him,
while personally thinking his effort
might better have been employed
across the ocean upon some crowned
head"
They all deny there is any truth to
the report that at any time President
Mckinley was included in the plots
to assassinate the heads Of nations.
They claim that President McKinley's
life vas never declared forfeited by
them and that the work of today is
that of another branch of their or
g~aniZation.
Petro Esteve, who in the past has
gloried in each killing of a head of a
nation, or in any attempt, was very
loud tonight in his denial of any par
ticipation by the Patterson group in
the affair. at Buffalo this afternoon.
Esteve even goes so far as to deny
that Neiman was an anarchist.
II heard of him." Esteve
said. 'He is probably some lunatic
and fool" The first question asked
in Patterson when the news of the
shooting of the president was heard,
was whether or not the assassin was
from that city.
The feeling among citizens outside
of anarchist circles is one of the deep
est indignation, this being heightened
by the fact that the plot to STAY King
Humbert was Matched here. There is
much talk of attempting to devise
means to drive the anarchists out of
that city.

SENATOR CARRIERS VIEWS
Chicago American Asks for Opinion
of MckinIey Shootjnu,

Chicago American Asks for Opinion
Of Mckinley Shooting.
The Chicago American, a newspaper
that has been a leader in opposition
to the president, has called upon lead
ing men throughout the country for
an expression of opinion on the at
tempt to assassinate Mckinley.
Former Senator Carter sent the fol
lowing from Helena:
"'The shooting Of the president is
an act too dastardly to form the basis
of an opinion, and words fail to de-
scribe my mingled feelings of sorrow
and Indignation. The president is
blessed with such strength and gen
tleness that he at one commands re-
spect and affection. Nature could not
by one normal effort produce a mon
ster SO meanly distorted as to find
qualification in the cowardly act Of
striking down while extending the
hand of friendship.
1.-THE wretched assassin is the vile
product of the much abused liberty
of speech and press which a spirit of
demagogy has compelled this country
to patiently tolerate. In the name
of liberty the most cruel and inhuman
license has been indulged. Thereby
weak minds have been inoculated
with murderous impulses. Stimulated
by bad example and worse advice, the
ignorant and malicious thoughtlessly
become the plant minions of certain
debased, impertinent and self-appoint-
ed instructors of the public. Lawless-
ness, even to murder, is but the legit-
innate consequence of many publica-
tions and utterances which the Amer
acknowledgements to tolerate
from year to year in the name of
free press or free speech.
"sThe anarchists and those who
abuse the liberty of our constitution
and laws to aid and encourage them,
should be dealt with as malicious en-
emies of society.
"sNo more kind, generous or noble
nan exists than President Mckinley.
That he may be spared to his coun-
try is the fervent prayer of all worthy
citizens.
"The telegram expresses my views.

STATE LAW WAS VIOLATED

STATE LAW WAS VIOLATED

Buffalo, Sept. 9-Many sensational
reports are being circulated about the
cabinet action looking to the appre-
hension and prosecution of Emma
Goldman and other leaders Of an
archist organizations, of mysterious
directions from the secretary Of war
to the chief Of police here and Of de-
velopments of a. startling nature that
are anticipated.
The great majority of these reports,
in the words of a cabinet officer, are:
Manufactured out of whole CLOTH"
The question of the prosecution
of Czolgosz, the cabinet are unani-
mously of the opinion, is purely a
local affair. There is no government
statute covering the offense of an as
sault. upon the president of the Unit
ed States and in the sight of the law
the crime of last Friday is merely a
local offense against a private cit
izen in violation of the laws of the
state of New York and Of Erie county.
The federal government can have no
hand in the prosecution Of the offend
er, his trial will take place in the
local courts.

Root has made to the chief of-police

POLICE SURPRISED.
Lack of Information Concerning An
archists Makes Investigation Slow.

Buffalo, Sept. 9-Leon Czolgosz, as
sailant of President Mckinley, went
through another examination at the
hands of the police officials but emerg-
ed from it without adding anything
material to the case. The chief effort
of the detectives was to draw from
the prisoner some admission as to
his ~accomplices but he persistently
stuck to his denial that he was not
assisted in any way in the commits
sion Of his crime. Every possible de-
vice was resorted to in the effort to.
obtain information from the prisoner,
but he maintained his position and.
he is not to be shaken.
In answer to questions he again
went over events of Friday and told
substantially the same story as in the
original confession laid down to Supt.
Bull and District Attorney Penny.
Czolgosz carefully weighed his
answers and when conclusions that
he did not approve were taken from
his statements insisted upon making
explanations of his exact meaning.
The police have about concluded that
more effective work on the plot
theory can be done on the outside,
although Czolgosz probably will have
another experience with third degree
of police craft tomorrow.
General investigation of the case
progresses slowly because the men
on it must cover a large amount of
preliminary ground before they can
do effective work. According to local
authorities the police of the country
know very little about anarchists.
They say that the secret service men
don't show any special familiarity
with them and there does not seem
to be a single police department that
has more than a general knowledge
of them. Members of the Buffalo
force admit that they have never
given American anarchists serious
consideration and that they did not
know who were anarchists. Since the
president was shot they have found
that there are at least 20 avowed an
archists in the city. Here, as else
where, it has been necessary for de-
tectives to first satisfy themselves as
to the identity Of a lot of men whom
they had occasion to watch be-
fore.
No other arrests have been made in
connection with the case and the
local police say they do not antici-
pate any for the present.
It is believed that both Emma Gold
man and julius Schwab will be de-
tained by the police whenever they
are found:

FORCED CHECK swtNpLE.
Two Sioux City Merchants Duped B,
an Old Process.

Two Sioux City Merchants Duped BY
an Old Process.
Sioux City, Sept. ia smooth bogus
check swindler, believed by the police to
be Charles H. Farnham, of Rome, N. Y,
has succeeded in securing money from
at least two Sioux City merchants on
worthless paper. and perhaps he has
duped more.
The two victims known are Beach e.
Weld and Sanborn & So, coal dealers
AT the latter place the man offered a
certificate check in payment for a ton
of coal, and received the excess in cash.
He said he did not care to have the coal
delivered Immediately, as he was look
ing for house at the time and had no
place to store the fuel. AT Beach &
Yields he purchased stove and paved
for it with a check, getting some money
in exchange.
The checks are a clever forgery They
are issued to either d. C.. Bell, e. A.
Carr, C. b. Arms or j. d. Howe, and the
name of F. =. Baker & Co., large dry
goods firm of Rome, N. Y, is forged as
a signature. The checks bear bogus
certifcation of the First National bank,
of Rome, signed by F. NJ. Shelley, CASH
- Azs,.
Farnham formerly was 3 clerk and
left Rome with shortage of 1000 In
that city he got hold of the checks, and
is said to have passed them in Atlanta,
Ga, Little Rock, Ark; ST. Louis, and
Dallas, Tex, before coming to Sioux
City. The bank has thus far found
ninety checks with face value of $500
which have been circulated since July
%. The amounts of the checks general
ly used are $3.50, 1875, $12. 80 and 1915
The forger goes into store, buys
something and offers in payment GER
tificate check on the First National
bank of Rome, He always purchases
goods below the face value Of the check
and receives change.
There is little doubt that the man who
has been working in this city is the
missing clerk from Rome. The descrip-
ton given by those who were swindled
may not tally in detail with that of
Farnham, but since he started on the
road he may have changed his appear
ance, and 1t also is believed that he has
an accomplice working with him.
+ The description furnished from his ma
tive city is as follows. Height, about 5
feet, II inches; weight, $50 pounds;
Brownish hair. light complexion,
smooth face, might have grown light
mustache; is a smooth talker, and
makes good appearance.
The police have been unable to locate
the man, and 1t Is believed that before
his victims found out that they had
been swindled he left the city.
