THE REDS MUST GO
Sentiment of the Nation Aroused
Against Anarchists
THEY MEET TO PROMOTE MURDER
Statements Of w. P. Hazen, Ex-
Chief of Secret Service.
EMMA GOLDMAN'S CAREER

If the President RECEIVERS, 1t may be that
the attempted assassination will bring
about a good result in a vigorous stamping
out of auarchisrn in this country. People
today are saying that the time has come
for an end to be put to nearly open con-
spring of men and women to murder.
Every anarchistic meeting is meeting OF
conspirators and traitors, and the countrys
sentiment today certainly is that they
should be treated such. The possible,
even probable fact that this assassination
was the result of an anarchist plot Is Great
ing the widest interest, and has set in
activity the police forces in dozens or
cities to trace the matter to its depth. In
this connection it Is of striking import
that William P. Hazen, ex-chief of the
United States secret service bureau. is
authority for the statement that he made
an official report to the department on Sep
tember 90 1898, stating that at meeting
of anarchist group In Bartholdi Han,
Paterson, N. j., on September IL. 1S9S 1t
was decided to aSSaSSinate King HumDert
of Italy and William Mckinley, President
of the United States.
King Humbert was assassinated on July
% 1900 by Bresci, the Paterson anarchist.
President Mckinley was shot in Buffalo
last Friday by the Anarchist Czolgosz.
The report made by Mr.. Hazen three
years ago was sent TO Cnie1 WHhle, nedu Oh
the secret service bureau in Washington
1t is part of the records of his office.
Details of Plot Worked Out.
Ex-Chief Hazen is quoted in New York
paper this morning as saying in connection
with this report:
From what l know of anarchists l am
certain that the plot to assassinate Presi-
dent Mckinley really originated in Europe,
but that all Of the details were worked
out here the meeting in Paterson of three
years ago being the starting point.
''It may have been that dozen men
were selected for the task of killing Prest-
dent Mckinley before the right one was
finally found in Czolgosz This task Is
tedious and has frequently EXTENDED
over a period of years.
when man is selected for an assassi-
nation he Is schooled in many ways and
put through all kinds Of tests to prove his
loyalty and nerve. These tests are OF
kind that break down the nerve OF the
normal man. They extend over period Oh
several months.
critical time and perhaps make a confes-
sion that will involve his associates they
want to know Ii beforehand. 1t is because
of these tests that SO few or the anarchists
who commit murders make confessions or
show any signs of weakness after arrest.
1.-The first group that was directed, as a
result of the meeting three years ago, TO
select a man to kill President Mckinney
probably took a man whose nerve gave
out Then another group took up the task.
1t may have passed through dozen groups
and to several cities before Czolgosz was
finally found and schooled.
Secret Closely Guarded.
"Other anarchists only know the group
that has been chosen for an assassination.
Only the men In that group know the iden-
tity Of the individual appointed for the
task This minimizes the danger of expos
ure and arrest and interference with the
plans.
For these reasons 1t Is not improbable
that ever since the meeting in Paterson IN
September, 1S9S-of which due warning was
sent-the plot to assassinate Mr.. Mckinney
has been slowly maturing.
1.-The meetings of one of the small groups
of anarchists are difficult to keep track OF.
They generally take place In saloon or
in a room of friend. Secret meetings are
held under lock and key, where the an
archists are sure Of their surroundings.
when 1t becomes known that an assassi-
nation has been planned collections are
taken up from all of the groups, and the
money turned over to the man assigned to
commit the murder. In this way he IL
well supplied with funds to meet his ex-
penses-
"It is a sure thing that Czolgosz was sup
piled with money In this way. He comes OF
poor people and had done little Ii any work
for several months. Yet he was able to live
and travel about.
Assassin's Words Significant.
Then when he was arrested he said: i
have done my duty Those are the words
which a man selected for an assassination
Is taught to say when he Is being schooled
by his associates to meet the consequences
of arrest His behavior since he has been
In custody Is that Of the well-drilled an
archist.
81 learned that it IL the practice of the
central governing body of the anarchists
in Europe to send leader here at inter-
walls.
"They have found because OF the differ
ence in police methods that II Is easier to
plan the details of an assassination in this
country than abroad Here meetings are
possible without danger of police interfer-
ence as the strict surveillance maintained
abroad does not exist in this country.
at Is easy for an anarchist leader to
come into this country because of the laws
He can get through Ellis Island, In fact,
two three times a year by simply chang
ing his name and by producing $50 to show
that he is not liable to become charge
upon the country.
Even where there is good ground for
believing that man is an anarchist and
bent upon dangerous mission the laws
are such that 1t Is not easy to keep him
Take the case for instance. Of Natal Mo-
resca, who arrived here August g. 1890
The italian authorities In Rome had in

that Moresca was a dangerous anarchist
and had fed from Italy to come to this
country.
The American consul informed the State
Department. and the latter asked the
secret service bureau TO look out for the
arrival OF Moresca-
I'VE did not know on what ship he was
coming but my men watched all Of the in
coming steamers and finally got the man.
Permitted to Land.
1--WE laad the facts in our possession be-
fore the immigration authorities Our
power ceased when we did that as we
could not bar him out Of the country. Mo-
resca was held for weeks by the immigra-
tion officials on Ellis Island, but was final
ly allowed to land because in their opinion
proof was lacking of the charges against
him.
I'VE had no proof, of course except the
word of the italian authorities In Rome
who claimed that his mission to this coun-
try was TO remove the chief executive of
the United States.
Personally 1 do not believe that Emma
Goldman Is In any way connected with
the crime of Czolgosz. 1 think he has men,
