SHOwERED WITH MONEY.
CoIored Man Who Defended the Pres
fdept Rewarded by the Crowd.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 81. b. Coen and o.
T. Hill, of Homestead. who returned from
Buffalo yesterday, said that James Parker,
the colored waiter from New York, who
prevented Czolgocz from shooting President
Mckinley the third time by knocking down
and jumping on the ASSASSIN, was simply
showered with money after his heroism
displayed in the Temple of Music and his
declaration that he wanted only ten sec
onds more to deal with the assassin.
Notes of s. and $50 were, according TO
Mr.. Coen, showed into Parker's hands and
pockets before he left the, grounds, and
soon after he reached his hotel checks
for him began to arrive. The first two were
for $500 each and the next for $500. The
dollars were given to Parker, and that at
the rate at which the contributions started
they believe he will realize at least 500 900
from those who appreciate his prompt and
heroic action.
Half an hour after the tragedy the Pan
American grounds were deserted, the
crowds leaving and spending the evening
all idea of pleasure at the exposition hav-
ing been driven away by their anxiety con-
corning the Presidents condition.
WASHINGTON, Sept. "a suggestion
was thrown out in the executive depart
ment to-day that it would be proper for
the American people TO do something for
the colored man, Parker, whose prompt
action possibly saved the Presidents life.
The would-be assassin himself complained
that ii was the stunning blow delivered
upon him by Parker that prevented him
from firing another shot. Inquiries are
being made for Parker's full name and
history.

NO ACTION BIZ THE CABINET.
Many sensational reports are being cir
cuIated about Cabinet, action looking to
the apprehension and prosecution of Emma
Goldman and leaders Of Anarchist organi-
cations, Of mysterious directions from the
secretary of war to the chief of police here
and Of developments of a startling nature
that are anticipated. The great majority Of
these reports. in the words of a Cabinet
member. ARE manufactured out of whole
cloth" The question OF the prosecution of
Czolgocz, the Cabinet is unanimously of
opinion. is purely a local affair There is
nc government statute covering an as
sault upon the President of the United
States and. in the eye Of the law, the crime
OF last Friday is merely a local offense
committed against a private citizen in
violation Of the laws Of the State of New
government can have no hand in the prose-
cution of a local offender; his trial will
take place in the local courts.
The only request Secretary Root has
made TO the superintendent of police and
the district attorney here was one de-
signed to prevent the would-be assassin
from being made a hero OF by exploitation.
Mr.. Roots view in this respect was shared
by other members Of the Cabinet and the
local authorities have done everything in
their power TO comply with it. They have
declined 10 allow reporters TO have access
to the prisoner or even to see him. OF
course, If CZOlgocz had accOmplices they
will be ferreted out and all the aid which
the government can furnish will be en-
plOyed, but il can be stated upon the au-
thority of a Cabinet officer that no whole
sale proceedings against Anarchists are
contemplated

The PRESIDENT WILL LIVE
CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PACED

which this would impose on him. On the
contrary, Mr. Roosevelt has been one of
the most positive in the conviction that
the President would recover. During the
long period of Garfeld's illness nice dis
tinctions arose as to what constituted the
meaning of the Constitution; whether
when the physical faculties were be-
numbed, while the mental faculties were
unimpaired, there was any disability as
meant by the Constitution. But fortunately
there has been no such issue presented on
this occasion, and the Vice President him
self has been primarily responsible for the
avoidance of any thought of the temporary
exercise of executive functions by him.
Nor has there been any occasion for the
exercise of executive authority, for such
minor routine matter, as it comes, can
readily be left until the present emergency
has passed.
Twice during the day and again this even
ing the Vice President has called at the
MiIbuIn residence to inquire as to the Pres
idents condition. During the afternoon
call he met several of the Cabinet officers
and Senator Hanna, and spent a short
time with them in informal discus
sion. On the streets Mr.. Roosevelt
has been the center of respectful attention,
but he has met this with dignity and COM
posture. Despite senseless remarks that he
was going about guarded by secret service
men, he has positively declined to have
anything like a guard near him. One of
his remarks to-day, iii speaking to the two
laborers, who greeted him, struck a popu-
lar chord. They had suggested that he
might be afraid to be stopped. mo, in
Decd he replied. You men are our pro-
lection. and the foul deed of Friday will
only make you more vigorous in protecting
those whom you elect to office"
Emperor Nicholas gave happy expression
to the worldwide solicitude over the Presi-
dent in a message which was given out
during the day. 1t is addressed to the
President, and after expressing his happi-
ness at the Presidents Improvement, adds
that he joins with the universal world in
wishing a speedy recovery.

EMMA GOLDMAN WANTED.
She and other Preachers of Assassin
alton May BE OepOrted.

NEW YORK, Sept. "a special to the
Herald from Buffalo says: THAT there
was a conspiracy in which many besides
Czolgocz were concerned, and which had
the destruction of President Mckinley as
its purpose is the firm conviction of all
the members of the Cabinet and of the
Buffalo police. An agent of the United
States Secret-service said the theory is
held that Emma Goldman, the Anarchist,
was the prime mover in this plot, which
may have contemplated a series of crimes,
pof which the murder of the President was
only the beginning. Emma Goldman was

She was here under assumed name.
What the object of her visit was has not
been learned, but presumably it was in
connection with the crime that followed
four days later. The police all over the
United States are now searching for En-
ma Goldman, who seems to have disap-
peared utterly. Her arrest has been or
dered.
1T can be stated on absolute authority
that this woman teacher of anarchy Will
be expelled If excuse of law can be found
for such an act. Moreover, she will not

ARRESTS AT PITTsBURG.
Two Disciples of Emma Goldman
Taken into Custody.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 9.-Carl Mold
and Harry Gordon, well-known Pittsburg
Anarchists and intimate friends of Emma
Goldman, were arrested at o'clock this
afternoon. Mold was friend of Berkmann,
who shot II. c. Frick. Superintendent of
Police O'Mara believes that if Emma Gold
man had anything to do with formulating
or urging the commitment of the crime
that placed the life Of President Mckinley
in grave danger these two men should
know something of the circumstances.
The police of Buffalo have been informed
OF the arrest, with the purpose of getting
whatever information they may have.

assailant Of the President came TO Pitts
burg with Emma Goldman on her last visit.
She came here from Rochester and on her
way stopped at Buffalo. the detectives who
have been tracing her movements say.
There was in her company a young man
who answers in every way the general de-

pect wore a very slight brOwnish mustache.
This mysterious young man accompanied

You certainly may" answered the Vice
President, turning quickly and grasping his
hand. and then as two laborers, with din
ner pals and tools slipped up he shook
hands with them.

of the men.

afraid You men are our protection and

The Vice President arrived at the Mil
burn house at 1920 and was at once adj
mitted. He remained about ten minutes.
and when he came out reiterated what he
said above.
Vice President Roosevelt will not leave
the city until the physicians OF the Pres

that the President positively will recover.
Tonight, in company with his host Ansley
is without doubt the most sanguine of the
government officials here unless il be Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson, who predicts
that the President will be out in two weeks.
Vice President Roosevelt said tonight: Il

near the President and i will not
leave until the situation has entire

The Vice President was asked to express
an opinion on legislation against anarchy.
He said: lit is not the time or place TO
discuss such matters. The only thing TO
be thought of now is the Presidents COM
plete, rapid recovery.

Report That CzOIgOcz Is Such Re-
scented by sons of Israel

CINCINNATI, Sept 9.-The board Of del
egates Of the American Hebrew Congrega-
TONS Simon Wolf President and Leo Wise
secretary pro tempore, to-day issued the
following:
The resolutions adopted by the Polish
Americans at St LOmentius Catholic
Church in Philadelphia that Leon Czol-
gocZ. the assassin Of President Mckinley
is a Hebrew by birth. are untrue. In proof
OF this statement we refer TO an inter-
view with the Rev. E. +. ROsnski. of
Cleveland, pastor of st. Stanislaus Catholic
Church. Mr.. ROsinski says that far back
as four years ago he asked CzOlgOcZ for a
contribution to the church. and was sur
prised at his refusal To give it.
In that interview the CZOlgOcZ family
is spoken of as having lived in Cleveland
for fifteen years past. We do not in the
slightest degree desire TO insinuate that
the Catholic Church is in the remOtest de-
gree responsible for the dastardly act OF
the miscreant CzOlgOcz. for neither that
church nor any other that we know of in
culcates murder and treason into it's adj
herents."

CZOLGOCZ IN INDIANA.
Two of His VapOring PIacards Are
Found Near New Albany.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW ALBANY, Ind, Sept. 9-About
two months ago a man appeared at Moores-
vile, four miles north of this city, and
posted a number of placards in which he
condemned President Mckinley and pre-
dieted that he would soon meet his death.
The mans actions incensed the residents
of Mooresville, and he was forced to leave
the vicinity. Several of the placards were
preserved, but no special significance was
attached to them until since the attempt on
the life of the President. One of the
placardS is in possession of County Com
mission BeaucOnd, and another is held by
William MOsier, of this city. After re-
ferring to several verses of Scripture the
placard says:
Mckinley has been spiritually con-
demned He is an evil man and an i'm
pOstOr. His hour is close and Roosevelt
will soon be President Hobart and Nc
Kinley put the poor in rags, and Hobart
paid the debt and Mckinley will pay it. L
tell you man can get a ticket now quick
to other planets. Just while they in
gay Joy a gifted man will arise from the
slums. The red dress is a red omen. High
bloOds lease of life is up.
Assassin CZOlgOcz'S mother, in an inter-
view, said that he had been in Indiana this
summer, and the people of MooresvilIe be-
heve the placards have some connection
with his crime.

NO PROOF OF A PLOT.
Cleveland Police Unable to Find Trace
of Conspiracy.

OF n conspiracy.
CLEVELAND o., Sept. 9.-Superintend-
ent Corner, of the Cleveland police depart
ment, to-day gave out an official state
ment regarding the alleged anarchistic plot
to take the life of the President. He states
that the Cleveland police force have been
following UP the meagre threads of evil
dence presented, but that they can find no
proof whatever that such a plot existed.
1t is quite evident that Leon Czolgocz was
an element of discord in his own family
and that he never was popular even with
his own people. His taciturn disposition
and queer ways isolated him from rela-
tives and friends and his sOcialistic ten
denotes appear TO be regarded as the va
carries of a weak mind According to a
statement made by Detective DOran
CzolgOcz received $40 from his people on
account of his equity in the farm near
this city. This was paid to him by his
brother Jacobs wife as part payment for
his interest, Leon desiring to leave the city,
his interest to revert to the brother Jacob.
The farm was subsequently sold and Leon
still has $50 coming to him on account.
The statement that CZOlgOcZ received SIS
from Newburg Anarchists to take him TO
Chicago Is evidently purely surmise and
finds no credence with the authorities.
There is still a strong impression among
residents of Newburg that a ring of an
archists exists in that locality and that
they are working in conjunction with Chi
cago Anarchists.
