WANT CZOLGOCZ's COAT.
Secret-Service Officers Think They
Can Ferret Out a Plot.

CHICAGO, Sept 10.-United States Sc
cret service officers in Chicago, who have
come to the conclusion that the attempted
assassination of President Mckinley was
the result of a plot arranged in this city.
have telegraphed Chief Wilkie. of the
secret service, who is now in Buffalo. ask
ing him to send Czolgocz's coat to Chicago
Immediately. The officers believe the mark
on the aSSaSSinS coat will prove that 1t
was made by tailor who lived very near
the house of Abraham Isaak, one of the
Anarchists now being held on a charge
OF conspiracy. This fact once determined,
the officers say, it will be a matter of only
a few hours to ascertain exactly where
CZolgOcz lived in Chicago, the names Of
those with whom he associated while here,
and the length Of time he remained in the
city.
Charles II. McMurray employed by a
wholesale house in this city, has notified
the police that on the night of July u or
Is. he is not sure which, while waiting for
his suburban train at the main station OF
the Illinois Central road. he overheard
three men discussing plans TO Kill Presl-
dent Mckinley and two well-knOwn New
utes the three shook hands and went to-
ward the Michigan Central train for Buff
fslO. McMurray says he told the policeman
on duty at the station and after a few
days had practically forgotten the occur
renee. The description of one Of the men
given by McMurray is not unlike the ap-
pearance OF CzolgOcz. and II is known that
on July II he was I'm Chicago, going East
10 Buffalo that night.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1O.-Clyde NJ Allen,
editor of the international Police Journal,
organ of the National Association of Chiefs
of Police of the United States and Canada,
said to-day:
1.-The fact that anarchy is rampant in
the United States to-day is due TO the par
simony of the government. 1t is notori-
Gus fact among police officers that the
Secret-service Department is so badly ham
dicapped by lack of funds that it cannot

of the most important and still neglected
departments Of the government.
Long before President Mckinley fell
victim to an Anarchist the members of
the Association of Chiefs of Police of the
United States and Canada realized the ne
cessity of suppressing anarchy. With that
in view 1t has been planned to ask the next
session of Congress to establish a national
bureau of information at Washington IN
der the supervision of the government. The
central bureau at Washington will dissem-
mate police information TO the bureaus of
the different cities. 1t will be possible to
keep track of the movements of every An
archiSt, well as other criminals.
Affiliations will be had with similar bu-
reaus in other countries, many Of which
have already requested such an interchange
of information. The call for action by Ma
tor Sylvester, president OF the association,
is but part of the plan to bring all the
police departments of the United States,
Canada and the world into close touch.
THE next meeting of the association, to
which chiefs of police of the world will be
invited and which promises TO become an
anti-anarchy congress, has been called for
next May in Louisville. The resolution to
invite the chiefs of police of the world to
participate in the next meeting was intro
duced in the convention at New York by
Deputy Commissioner Devery, who Is vice
president of the association. Harvey O.
Carr, of Grand Rapids, Mich, is secretary.
The members of the board of directors who
will act on President Sylvester's sugges-
ton are: j. II. Hanger, Louisville; Wiley

Reinforced by Similar Legislation by
the United States.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Sept. 1O.-Judge c.
d. Clark. of the United States Circuit Court
of East Tennessee, who frequently sits on
the United States Court of Appeals bench
in Cincinnati, gave out an interview to-
day relative to controlling the Anarchist
element. He said:
THE question should be taken up by
Congress passing a stringent law to sup
press, repress and eXpel this army of muir
derers called Anarchists. 1t can be done
under the public welfare clause of the
federal Constitution, as every government
has the defined power to protect itself in
its logical development and establishment,
and also to protect the citizens that COM

be allowed to come into this country I'M
less he can show us evidence from the au-
thorities of the government under which
he has lived that he has been a loyal and
law-abiding and pure-minded citizen.
Such law can be enacted"
Judge Clark also holds that the mails
and the lecture platform should likewise
be purged of Anarchists work. He says
every State should enact similar laws 10
those he outlines for the federal govern
ment.

LIBERTY Is NOT LICENSE.
Senator Fairbanks Says the Line

NEW YORK, Sept. 10-The Suns Baffalo

themselves against violent men who do not

Senator Fairbanks was asked if he

national legislation, and he said he thought
1t should be dealt with by Congress. As to

POSSIBLY BORN IN DETROIT.
Former Home of the Anarchist Sup
posed tn Have Been Found.

DETROIT Mich, Sept. 10.-From 1874 TO
1875 the family Of Leon Czolgocz, the assail-
ant of President Mckinley, lived in Detroit,
and former neighbors assert that Leon was
born here in the summer of 1874. A search
of old city directories resulted in locating
the Czolgocz family at No. al Benton
street in 1874. Inquiry in this neghborhOod
developed several people who had known
the family. ]. ]. Lorkowski. a prominent
Polish saloon keeper, lived across from the
CzolSocz family on Benton street, and
knew the father well. He is sure the boy
born IN the BentOn-street house in 1874 was
Leon. Lorkowski says Czolgocz moved
to POsen, Mich, Lear Alpena in 1919, going
later to Alpena. If this information is cor
rect, Leon CZolgocZ is twenty-Seven years
of age instead of twenty-eight, he as
serts,. When this was pointed out to Lor-
kowski, who is a very intelligent man, he
said that many Polish boys did not know
their age, and he presumed the CZOlogczs
not sure of his. If Leon was born in
Alpena, he is not over twenty-six years Of
age, as the family did not move there until

saying: Leon CZolgocz gave mis- father no
end of trouble. The old folks were licking
him with a strap all the time, but on the
whole it did no good. Mrs. Czolgocz thought
Leon was crazy. He was bright in his
books, but indolent. Paul CzolgOcZ, the
father, always predicted that Leon would
die on the gallows. His words were: Leon,

ANARCHISTS AT VALPARAISO.

VALPARAISO, Ind, Sept. l0.-Much ex-

where IL is stated they openly expressed
regret that the attempt upon President
McKinley's life by assassin CzOlgocz failed.

WILL SEEK RELEASE.
Chicago Anarchists VIII Apply for
go writs of Habeas Corpus

CHICAGO, Sept. 1O.-An application will
be made tomorrow for a writ of habeas
corpus in behalf Of the nine Anarchists
now under arrest charged with conspiracy
TO murder President Mckinley. The name
of Emma Goldman also probably will be
included in the petition. Should the appli-
cation for a writ be successful il probably
will be made returnable Thursday morning,
at which time all the defendants would be
brought into court.
In the evidence which can be produced to
hold the prisoners. it is said, the Chicago
police have the following telegram from
the Buffalo chief Of police: "Czolgocz
was in Chicago Aug. Is, in company of
Emma Goldman and Abraham Isaak, at
1saak's office" The Chicago police do not
know on what evidence this statement is
made, but take it for granted that it is
part of the confession of Czogocz. The
decision to resort TO habeas corpus was
reached after many efforts had been made
to induce the authorities to release the
prisoners on bail.

BROTHER OF CZOLGOCZ
Says the Latter Must Have Been Paid
for His Crime.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 10.-A special to
the Ohio State Journal says:
1T was discovered that brother of Leon
CZOlgocZ the would-be murderer of Presi-
dent Mckinley, is employed at the Diamond
Match works, in Barberton. He has been
going under the name Of John Golden, due,
he says, to the error of the timekeeper
when he first went to work The name
was taken as Golden, and CZolgocZ says
that he was satisfied to allow it to remain
that way. He is thirty-one years of age,
and is very much averse to talking about
the trouble in which his brother finds him
self He condemns, however, in the strong
est possible manner, the deed Of the assas-
sin, and even went so far as to eXcaim,
with considerable force: Leon ought TO
be strung up
He professed to know nothing of any
anarchistic sentiments which Leon pos
sessed, but stated that he himself had been
a Socialist, although he had changed his
mind during the past few weeks. He does
not believe that his brother committed the
crime from any belief in anarchy, but says
that he must have been paid for doing it,"
