RESULT OF A CONSPIRACY.
Assassin czolsosz Breaks Down and Makes a
Complete Confession.

New York, Sept. IA special to
the Herald from Buffalo says: Leon
Czolgosz has confessed to the police
that his attempt upon the life of
President Mckinley was the result of
conspiracy in which many besides
himself had part. So far as can be
learned Czolgosz has refused to men-
tion any name except that of Emma
Goldman, but papers are in existence
which, if they can be discovered, will
lay bare the entire conspiracy and
will result in wholesale arrests, fol-
lowed by prosecutions.
Although Emma Goldman has been
arrested in Chicago, it is probable
that she will be brought to Buffalo
for trial. The center of the conspi-
racy is here. Buffalo is filed literally

The report of the autopsy has CIV
en- rise to the theory, limited at a day
or two after the President was shot,
that Czolgosz, in order to insure the
accomplishment of his purpose, pois-
oned the bullets that were fired. The
gangrene found in the path of the
bullet is thought to be strong evi-
dence in support of this view by DR..
Wasdfn, one of the consulting ply
sicians. DR.. Wasdin is considered an
expert of high standing in the Ma
rine Hospital service. A chemical
and archaeological examination of
the remaining bullets in the pistol
will, however, confirm or demolish
this theory and such an examination
will undoubtedly be made at once by
the authorities.

Berlin. Sept. 14.-Although the

and the cannon not yet silent, public
interest centers largely in the visit

there Is much speculation as to

ing Center.
BY Associated Press:
Chicago, May 11.-Boxing in Chica-
go is now up to the city council. Ac-
ton is to be taken at the meeting of
that body Monday night, when reso-
luton will be introduced resembling
the resolution which Alderman Pat
terson had passed last December a
short time after the McGovern-Gans
fiasco.
The Patterson resolution recon-
mended that the police department
and mayor refuse to sanction any
more boxing and issue no more per-
mits for the same.
Mayor Harrison is rather non-com-
initial in regard to the question. He
said that he would take no action in
the matter one way or another until
the council had done something with
the Patterson resolution. He said:
Il have been petitioned by several
promoters, but cannot act until the
records have been cleared. am thor
oughly satisfied that if the game is
allowed to go it will be conducted hon.
estly and if it is not there will be an
other and more thorough finish for it
than there was before. 1t is my idea
to place a strong limit on the bouts
and sanction only those of high class
and not permit any of the little back
room fights to proceed. That is the
best way to do away with the cheap
err grade of fighters"
The mayor would not say what he
thought would be good limit to be
placed on the bouts, but it is generally
understood by those close to him that
he intends to allow but a couple of big
shows a month and that this will be
the limit.
