Meaning of "Action" and Event"
BUFFALO, Sept 12-Wiile the police
and the agents of the secret service are
still searching for the papers thrown away
by Czolgocz before the attempt to assas-
sinate President Mckinley 1t is known that
some papers deemed to be of importance
have been recovered Among them are
documents relating TO the Free Society,
showing the connection of Czolgocz with
it. The constitution, or, the Anarchists
call it, platform Of the Free Society was
found signed by Czolgocz. The platform
was given out last night. With the con-
stitution is a printed essay on the princi-
pies of anarchy, with a key accompany
ing, indicating that action and event"
mean murder and assassination The essay
is as follows:
There will be three periods in any event
(aSSaSSinatiOn.)
"First-The period of preparation for the
action.
Second-"The moment of the action itself.
'Third-The portion of time which fol-
lows the deed.
1t is easily comprehensive to every
body that the danger of discovery is the
greater the more numerous the number of
the deed. When deed is decided upon
let a comrade be selected, in the usual way,
who does not live at the place OF action.
Whoever is selected and willing 10 exc
cute the deed must put the question to
himself and answer it to the satisfaction
of his comrades, as well as his own, wheth-
er he is able or not to carry out the &C
ton by himself. If he gives perfect assur-
ance of sufficient mental control and reso-
luton to perform the deed singly let him
absolutely initiate no one in the matter
But if that is not the case, let him look
with greatest care, Tor just as many fell
lows as he must absolutely have, no more,
no less.
Let there be no discussion Of the deed
in groups, for useless debates develop and
the danger of discovery is enhanced. Let
silence. If there is any talk. then the
thing IS at once hung upon a great bell,
and il would soon reach the ears of the
men who hear the grass grow and the
heaS cough.
Does the selected man possess head as
we'll as heart?
Has the formation of the plan been
perfectly effected?
rs the manner of execution clearly UNI
derStOOO?
These answered in the affirmative then
let action follow with the greatest posi- bic
SWiftneSS. Let there be no delay, FOR now
you move within the scope OF the greatest
danger, for YOU may be detected: you may
have committed treason or conspiracy, and
may be apprehended before you have an
opportunity of reaplng the precious fruit
OF your design. SO, let Us repeat, when
these points are settled, strike without de-
lay.
"As TO action-as to the scene of action

which seems 10 absolutely insure success
even though some cOmrade must neces-
sarily sacrifice himself Success, success,
success must be the constant watchword
for there Is nothing like the success of an
action TO inspire an impulse for a new
deed. Too great care, therefore. cannot be
exercised in the matter of selecting the
scene OF action. If sarifce is necessary
let the comrdde remember that his death

What cOmrade would hesitate TO give away

But valiant comrades must not sacrifice
themselves needlessly. recklessly or fool
ishly. SO il Is imperative that all deeds
should be done singly whenever practical
